Been trying to say this forever. When we use c00n and sambo( even tho we are just joking most of the time ) We are putting each other in a box.

I dont want my son listening to rap music, so I know he's going to get it..

i agree with the president. however there are things black people learn/experience in our culture that don't get replicated naturally in mostly white environments. he knows this, but i agree it shouldn't be a limiting factor in what determines whether you're "black". case in point...

This is pretty extraordinary though. In no other time in history have we had a sitting president that has been able to speak the younger African American generation like this. This sounds like just another feel good story, but I think hearing this message from the president will mean something to this next generation. All it takes sometimes is hearing from the right person or seeing someone like you succeed for it to really stick in your head.

I hope this initiative takes off and I hope to be part of the mentoring program.
This is why I'll always support Obama knowing deep down his hands are tied on a lot of issues but he's at his core someone who knows whats real.

It's true....How do you be "black"?

He's 100% right, blackness shouldn't be relegated to hood shyt. I love the NBA & rapper comment too, we need to show our youth that there are many paths to success other than athletics and music.

Define blackness using stereotypes brehs

I agree 2 disagree.... I think being aware is the 4 the peotypucal authentic black man

He's 1,000% right if you ask me.

All my life since birth i always knew i was black and was told i was black. And then I moved to the United States and blacks i the USA told me that I wasnt black and that all the things about me (way i dress, walk, talk, express myself) were "not black". :huh:
Some of these mofos take the whole being black thing to a whole other level. :russ:
But on the real that nonsense has to stop because the people that say this tend to associate the negative things with being black (ie not sounding educated etc...). Seems like to them nothing good can be black.

EVERY OTHER ETHNIC GROUP DOES THE SAME THING. OUR PROBLEM IS WE IDENTIFY WITH NEGATIVE STEREOTYPES. I'VE SEEN PEOPLE GET DISMISSED BY THEIR OWN FOR NOT SPEAKING THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGE. OUR PROBLEM AS AFRICAN AMERICANS IS WE DON'T HAVE A CONCRETE CULTURE OF OUR OWN. WE'VE BEEN CUT OFF FROM OUR HISTORY AND WE ARE CREATING ONE AS WE GO.

This is why I don't have Political discussions in TLR. Bunch of nikkaz who don't even full grasp how Seperation of Powers works trying to argue about what is or isn't Obama's fault :beli:
Why can't Obama just make racism illegal?! :troll:
