the difference between a car and your body is that you can choose to get out of the car and leave it somewhere. you can give it to someone and it's not yours anymore. you can't do that with your body. so yes, your body is you. how it looks and is built is part of your identity. until they manage to upload your consciousness on a harddrive and re-install it on machines or other clones, then your body is part of who you are until death and then you (your consciousness) stops being at this level.
funny thing is by dude's logic, if our body is just a vehicle, that means if a man rapes a woman, it's just a joy-ride . if dude's mother was raped, i'm sure he wouldn't tell her "your body is just a material possession so while it's unfortunate that you got raped, it has nothing to do with your consciousness..."
and then of course, at the end of the video, if you disagree with him, you're just not awoke yet

Horrible analogy.the difference between a car and your body is that you can choose to get out of the car and leave it somewhere. you can give it to someone and it's not yours anymore. you can't do that with your body. so yes, your body is you. how it looks and is built is part of your identity. until they manage to upload your consciousness on a harddrive and re-install it on machines or other clones, then your body is part of who you are until death and then you (your consciousness) stops being at this level.

Every system of every kind provides labels. The same rule applies to tribes. Some tribes today didn't always refer to themselves as (insert tribal name). They were part of kingdoms and empires, kingdoms and empires that once existed. And the ancestors of the people who were part of those kingdoms possibly referred to themselves as something else because those kingdoms and empires didn't exist back them. And so on.
As for the bold, this system is basically worldwide at this point. Only in Africa would being "black" not mean too much, simply because the vast majority of people have the same skin color. And even if one identifies with a sub-saharan African nation for a nationality, one thing that is usually expected is to be a person with darker skin color, a skin color the world usually refers to as "black." It is what it is.

This is like a bad Macklemore parody 
Video is corny but as quiet as it's kept, the concept of blackness hasn't done us any favors. Apart from certain trivial cultural elements like our music, blackness is generally seen as a negative, the opposite end of a spectrum that puts whiteness on the positive end. A spectrum created by white supremacists.
Putting Jamaicans, Haitians, Nigerians, Kenyans, Aframs, etc all under this same umbrella term even though the term itself is rooted in troublesome notions of racial hierarchy (with black at the bottom) doesn't seem to be working for us. Great civilizations have crumbled once whites forced said societies to internalize the idea of their 'blackness' - Ethiopia for instance, one of the greatest civilizations in human history now essentially reduced to a wasteland.
I think 'blacks' would be much better off if we were defined by our cultures (Sudanese culture, Ghanaian culture, etc) instead of being defined by this all encompassing idea of blackness rooted in phenotype.
Thats why when people mention 'countries', they mention Africa, even though it's a continent. They say China, Russia, India, Italy and then say 'Africa'. Once you can define 1 billion people under a single term, you better hope the term isn't rooted in anything negative, or all 1 billion people are in some way, fukked.
So we basically gotta do one of two things; do away with the word black all together and pick a better word, 'Melanoid' or something else so we can rebrand...or we can simply use the power of resources and media to convince the world it's whiteness that is on the negative end. Either way, action has to be taken.

This dude is an idiot
No you're black end of story
Where was this dude raised? He needs that wake up call for the world to let him know that he's black. Cops aren't wasting time to see what kind of person you are inside

You can't mention the word rape, it's like mentioning jews.
Too much money is being made off of it for decent conversation.

When did this black self-shaming begin? My friends, family, and colleagues all know that I'm black and it's never once been an issue.
This shyt is embarrassing and sad. You never hear Asians or Indians saying "I'm not this or that".
