Obama: No ‘authentic’ way to be black

[DrunkenNovice]

Obama bout to turn up 1000% pro black in his last year

 

[Will Ross]

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

Dude can fight for gays but not blacks men. All he does is tell us bs that we already know he is not trying to help us.

 

[NatiboyB]

Yes you are black you can act gay see the difference....So no gay isn't the new black it's just gay...Black people can't help but to be black.

 

[Black Magisterialness]

He's right as fukk. White folks have never been looked at as a monolith and black folks shouldnt be either.

 

[DrX]

Any blk man that don't think they're blk will find out how blk they are soon enough

 

[DEAD7]

"It can be rough where Michelle grew up, but she’ll talk proper when she needs to," Obama said. "You also don’t want to get on her wrong side because she can translate that into a different vernacular."

The Pres even admitted to Michelle turning into Misheka when she gets turnt up. That's my muthafukkin president.


These kids do need to realize though that there's nothing wrong with speaking proper English...or shyt...having a desire to learn something. At what point in our Black culture did learning or speaking properly become associated with "acting white?"

 

[intruder]

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.

BINGO!

A drop of truth, in a sea of ignorance.

The negativity that's about to hit this thread is shameful.

The real question is at what point did success become "acting white"?... but

 

[Elle Driver]

Same ones saying he's right will probably be the same ones who are angry at the success of Iggy Azalea

Then you missed his point.

There's a difference between speaking proper and talking like a cac. No one says Obama, Michelle, MLK, Malcolm X etc speak "white" and you know damn well why.

I can't stand black people that speak with a valley white girl or stereotypical surfer cac accent. That forced nasal voice is fukking scust.

 

[director_of_bands]

oh it's ways you can tell if a ngga was raised by black folk...i'll just leave it at that...reall ngaas know...obama half a cac right?

 

[Blah1991]

Nothing he said was wrong. I'm not black but I can't even count how many times I've been asked why I speak proper and use "big" words.

you're 1000% correct. The difference is hard to articulate, but there is a difference.
