Have you ever experienced "intra-racism"?

[Noname2014]

Another black person saying racial things (self hate) about you or black people in general.

My aunt said that when she finishes her degree that she is moving to a white area because "black folk don't know how to act". (What does that even mean?)

 

[Truetalk]

Yeah I know about in my family it's the same way

 

[AlainLocke]

Yeah...I hear that shyt all the time from a few Black women..."Cause nikkas don't know how to act. I need to live around White people. White people keep the streets safe and clean. I can actually go outside without being worried about shot and shyt..."

Black dudes say shyt like..."Black people don't support each other like so and so race do...that's why it's hard out here...we our own worst enemy..."

And I always say some shyt..."Well if I back in the slave days...I know who I would not to take with me when Harriet Tubman come..."

And then they'll start Juelzing...


It's not self-hate...

There's a lot of Black people that ain't Black...like you can opt out of not being Black...

I've seen it...it is possible...

 

[ba'al]

Can stand ya'll nikkas.

 

[EBK String]

don't know what a c00n is brehs

 

[ba'al]

(What does that even mean?)

It means that a lot of times people who wasn't raised right don't act accordingly to the enivorment or situation they're in for example the people who was partying during the hurricane we had here.

Not to mention most afrocentrics people tend to critque and complain the most on how nikkas be acting.

u don’t know what that means?

 

[Commish]

From my understanding, Black people can't be racist, in practice nor in theory.

A Black person can be prejudiced. A Black person can be bigoted, but not racist.

So, have I experienced prejudice or bigotry from Black people? Yes. Racism? No.

 

[Lweezy]

Nikkas aint shyt

 

[Turk]

Yes. At one of my previous jobs I worked with this Somali girl whose sister told her to stay away from me because she thought I was AA and of course she bought into all the negative stereotypes

 

[Solo ✧✦✧]

I try to stay away from corny suburban black people so no I haven't.

 

[mbewane]

Quite often actually.

Black people clowning other Black people who are into books/studying because "that's white people stuff"

Black people not wanting for their kids/younger brothers/sisters to hang out with other Black kids

Black people saying "well colonization wasn't that bad, at least stuff was getting done"

But I don't know for sure that I would call it self-hate, because hate is conscious. I think white supremacy is so potent that it becomes "normal" for some to have this kind of atitude, because they don't have time/will/ressources to study against it. I think we're all familiar with the dolls experiment :



I wouldn't call these poor kids answers "self-hate", that would put too much of a burden on them. It's more the potency of white supremacy that moulds the brain from a very early age, and it's actually a conscious effort to go against it. Which is what some activists/scholars/intellectuals call "decolonising the mind" (shouts to Ngugi Wa Thiong'o)

 

[FSP]

My aunt is super bougie and wanted no part in living in a black area or having her kids room with black roommates.

Which I always found odd, because the white roommates she had were the ones she always had problems with...getting into crazy shyt etc...But even after all that

 

[KamikazePilot]

Yeah but those are just c00ns

 

[CarmelBarbie]

Yup.
