Light Skinned & Mixed-Race Black Males: Talk About Your Privilege

[marcuz]

So Malcolm X, WEB Du Bois, Bob Marley, Colin Powell, and the President aren't black and should not be seen as having valid historic or current leadership positions?



But no soft spot for black folks?

look, you can pull on obama, civil rights leaders or whomever, and the answer is still the same. they are not black, they are bi-racial.

According to the one drop rule?

Who else uses that kind of logic? Hmmmm.... I know I've heard it somewhere.

Well...well...well....isn't this interesting......the light-skin folk are being just as dismissive and in denial about color and complexion priveliges as the white folks are towards black folks

The whole "we all just nikkas" crowd...sound just as in denial and as delusional as the White folks who use the "we're all just humans" type of talk

Well, when I hit middle school and that superthug shyt of the late 90s was popping, being light skinned wasn't shyt. It was all about your jail record, how many nikkas you fought and laid out , and how much money you got. Ever since Obama got elected, I strangely gotten better treatment from lighter skinned women and got mad play. Still, as a light skined dude, I rather be with a darker skinned broad cause they more down to earth.

what do you mean, according to the one drop rule? you nikkas are using the one drop rule.

i'm saying if you have 1 black parent and 1 white parent, you're clearly a combination of both. if you mix red and green, you do NOT get green again. why is this shyt so hard to grasp?

Im not arguing that, he asked when was a light skinned man was gunned down by the cops, and I mentioned those two cases, BOTH stickied on thecoli in TLR for months, respectively. So how he missed that, I do not know.

We can also show evidence where white people were gunned down by cops....I don't see the point.

Black man logic
We like all shades of women - ignore black women and only acknowledge lightskin women/pawgs/latinas
We all black brother regardless of shade- diss lightskin nikkas because he insecure,hate lightskin nikkas for no reason
Aint no difference between shades no privilege - Goes out of his way to make sure his kids dont come out darkskin like him
I aint tryna read over 5 pages of lies get the fukk outta here

Sorry black brehs, but this is the truth. I'm tired of seeing my dark skinned counterparts wifing up bougie and rude light skinned women and having babies with them for the sake of "prettier" kids.

black power must be centralized real pro-blackness. not you nikkas trynna slip all these mixed breeds and non-black women into the room.



if biracials want to claim black, so be it, but they can not represent the race at the forefront; which is the current trend.

Damn that video....

bu bu they are not having meetings like that anymore to make race based decisions....no need, the seeds have already been planted, the agenda has already been adopted and is being implemented consciously/unconsciously by each generation

100% on point i realized a long time ago these all inclusive rules nikkas have are really ways to date outside their race, while still claiming they pro-black.

white people love being around me and are always friendly, they don't see me as a threat

so many examples, spanning various tax brackets, to verify such logic

Because your statements aren't based in reality.

On paper you'd be correct. But this is America. Race is still largely viewed as a binary concept. Light folks were still included in the "black experience" whether you acknowledge that or not. Membership to extremist groups hasn't risen because the President is perceived as white. DuBois didn't have problems at Harvard because he was viewed as white.

Socially, light and mixed folks are viewed as black. If you're talking about genetic purity or whatever, good luck finding a pure ANYTHING in America.

Now the problem with calling light and mixed folks out is it invalidates their accomplishments and commitment to the whole.

That and it's kinda presumptuous to tell someone that they are or aren't black because of your inflexibility.

its all about white people may see you as,they define everything including race........

When did this get exposed? Sad thing is, I bet she still got simp PMs/peen pics coming her way too

FInally some honesty...

expand on this....are you referring to better employment/education opportunities? Lower incarceration rates? Less incidents of racial profiling by Law Enforcement and store security?
