Colin Kaepernick comments on Carton Banks and Steve Urekel

[lightskin jermaine]

Documentary was really good and I understood the point he was making about "safe negros"

 

[CHICAGO]

He said they are acceptable negros because they make white people comfortable.

WAIT, WE ACTING LIKE
STEVE URKEL & CARLTON BANKS
ARENT SAFE NEGROS?



​

 

[Po pimp]

He said they are acceptable negros because they make white people comfortable.

Urkel had a whole catch phrase he used every episode similar to JJ saying “Dy-no-MITE” and Arnold saying “Whatchu talkin bout Willis.” Urkel wasn’t even supposed to be a recurring character, then he became the main one.

Carlton went from the preppy rich kid to busting out that Carlton Dance to Tom Jones almost every episode.

SIDENOTE:
The point he's making isn't whether those TV characters are "c00ns" or "sellouts".
His point is that white folks gravitate to certain types of behavioral tropes when giving their "stamp of approval"(job interviews, home loans, etc) .....his deeper point(not shown in the OP clip) is that acceptable black people come in all varieties of productive behavior.

I.E. just because someone like say, Malcom X ...didn't make white folks comfortable doesn't means his behavior isn't acceptable.



But because most of yall didn't watch the special yall going off half baked info.

That was the joke though. It's not like they were held out as figures black people should emulate.

The problem with this fukking thesis is the fact that Fresh Prince MADE FUN of Carlton from season one until the show closed

line from episode 1:

Carlton: (After giving will clothing for the dinner party episode)
“just think will, some might mistake us for brothers”

Will: “you don’t have to worry about anyone mistaking you for a brother”

The Carlton character was shyt on by writers and audience and then became beloved towards the later years because Alfonso is funny as fukk.

Steve Urkel was beloved by everyone, but shyt on mostly as a nerd with horrible social skills and a bad home life.

Kaepernick is a try hard.

About him kneeling?

Nothing is wrong with his position on that.

But there is something wrong with him positioning himself as the expert on racism now when he's probably still learning stuff his own self.

Nah, it was about his whole persona, Whitlock and a few others picked up on it a couple years back and took heat for calling it out.

Now everyone is catching up.

shyt like this is why I stepped away from both Colin and pro sports. Just bread and Circuses.

Whitlock isn’t the right person for that message though cause he’s an actual c00n

Y’all keep acting like unless we agree word for literal fukking word then we don’t UNDERSTAND

you’re telling on yourself

 

[killacal]

still a black show . I don't know if white folks even watched it like that

A show written by white people is a black show

nikka said it with a straight face too

B b b but I don't care that middle age white men make shows for me, they know me

 

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

He needs more ppl. Dude is honestly coming off like someone who didn't grow up in our community and is regurgitating what he learned in the last couple of years.

Even the way he's talking here. He dont sound black his self

Feels like he is cosplaying as black.

This man’s whole intonation is just

 

[Houston911]

I salute his audacity

Imagine having a white mother and saying this

Doesn't matter who said it, his assessment was on point (or, bits of it were).

Stop holding people with a public opinion to some false standard of perfection.
