Thread title is wild , but I definitely do think we have a fairly large portion of black men who want to mimick and look up to white men like Trump. Its why so many rappers always shouting out white designers and dudes like Trump because they have status and money to do what they want.

All men want power and want to be the ones in power. White men currently have power and other men want to take it from them. That’s a given. The race of the men doesn’t matter.

That may be true in many instances globally but that has not been the case here in the US. When you read about many of the black male thinkers throughout our history here the majority of black men on the subject want parity between genders. Tommy Curry talks about this in detail in the book The Man Not. The problem specifically here in the United States is that whites don't want to share power with non-whites because many believe they will end up in a position similar to what blacks occupy now.

About 90 % of black men voted for a white woman over a white man, why do people continuously try to let the 10 % represent the 90 % :dahell:

People who like designers don't give a fukk about if they are made by a white man, white woman, black man or hell a Chinese transexual. As long as it's poppin and expensive, a lot of these rappers don't even know who the team of designers of Balenciaga or Gucci are, the people they are named after died decades ago, and they are owned by a publicly owned company. And Virgil might be the dude they have ridden the hardest ever, after Nike and Adidas.

Might as well make a thread saying White Americans want to be French and German because Americans buy french fashion and german cars, somehow it only applies to us :gucci:

As far as looking up to successful people, there's no discrimination there either. It's not like the same people look up to Bill Gates and shyt on black billionaires. They look up to nearly all billionaires, regardless of if it's Robert F Smith, Jack Ma, Aliko Dangote or Warren Buffet.

Unless you're on the Sammy Sosa wave no

But there are a lot of Black men who desire the same "power" as the White man in America.

The question is how do they use that power?

A lot of them break bread with CACs who openly seek our destruction and think racism is a myth or that race doesn't matter

And the sad part of this being true is a lot of BM see success as getting access to what the yt man has but yt men and other foreigners will never see them as equals because of the age old perception that BM don’t take care of their women and children. If you don’t think 45 and his people are laughing at Cube you’re crazy. To be honest even most African men don’t respect Black American men as a whole.

You can get this divisive of garbage out of this thread.

Facts to a degree. Brothers been acting like that since...

Not the majority, but too many. Y’all don’t see it? Dudes, especially in the corporate world act like this. Look at the music executives like Puff.
Ebro is the wrong one to say this though.

I don't see this shyt whatsoever in my personal life.

Fortune 500 company here.
Almost all of the middle management, VP's, regular supervisors, Engineers etc.
I've met who're black are just normal dudes and ladies.
There's rarely attempts at assimilation or aspirations of "being white".
In fact, a lot of them wear their blackness on their sleeve unapologetically.
