c00ning is a learned behavior Mike.

Worthy conversations get lost when people throw in name calling like c00ns. Expand that though process breh.

Don’t Mike be all hugged up with Trump? The fukk did he think would happen

 

[OperationNumbNutts]

Personally I get it. Right people put their kids in rich schools and communities. Unfortunately, the number of black faces are very few in those space. Heck, I've seen this a work conferences number the number of black faces get slimmer the higher ranks encountered. Can't blame the kids adapting to the environments they were raised in.

This won’t be a productive conversation
Call the nikka a c00n while nikkas either
Don’t have kids
In the same neighborhoods as nonblacks and sending they kids to school in the same environments
Problack as fukk on a message board
But skinnin and grinning come Monday morning at that white man job

Tyson is all over the place. Says he no longer believes that his skin color is an obstacle (in this video, towards the end) and used to say he wanted to be called the n-word, not a Black man. Now he's surprised his kids don't date Black and wonders if he failed them.

I think TI is right that environment plays a huge role, but there's also social media, and there's also the fact that I think Tyson's right to doubt if he was presenting the best image of Blackness as well

I think Mike's question was genuine and came from a sincere place.

TI is not the right person for that conversation tho.

I understand how Iron Mike feel. Most parents want their kids to date and marry ppl that look like them. That is how ppl are socially constructed.

But, one interesting point IMT made regarding his son..

Said that his son didn't want to date girls who acted like his sister.

Found that to be interesting..

His sister is probably exhibiting masculine behavior & is turned off by it. Unfortunately, the color aspect comes into play.

So, maybe the son will gravitate toward Blk girls more if he is around those who are a lil more on the demure and feminine side of the game.

So, IMT, in a way you did answer your own question..

If endogamy was that important to you, then you should have done a better job with putting your kids in environments that would allow them to intermingle with Blk kids on their level.

Otherwise, welcome to possibly becoming a grandfather to blended families down the line. *shrugs*

If you look up 'Smart Dumb Nikka' in the urban dictionary, you'll see a picture of TI

I ain’t watched the video yet but the easy answer is their environment. Their communities and schools growing up were probably majority white, so that’s all that was around them

Put your children into the hands of enemies and expect...what exactly?
