I would dead ass smack the shyt out of any black dude who ever called me a c00n in real life, so I'm not worried about any of this website goofiness and these hashtags and gifs and YouTube videos.

I remember sitting in a room years ago at a university that was dealing with racial tensions on campus. A prominent black alum came to moderate a forum on the shyt, and a bunch of black students were in the room yelling at him, accusing him of being a sellout, a Tom, a coward, etc. It was a low moment for me as a black man. The alum was an attorney who had devoted his life to activism and fighting for black causes. He had integrated a university and been subject to all kinds of abuse. He had argued against the abolishment of affirmative action in the Supreme Court. He had used his influence to get countless blacks into college and into good jobs after college. And here he was suffering the indignity of being called a race traitor and a Tom by a bunch of sideline ass college kids who couldn't see past their emotions and their narrow experience.

This site has plenty of moments like that. Y'all can waste your time arguing about the inherent evil of white people, the true definition of racism, and conflating events fueled by hatred with proof that hatred only exists among one group of people. That's whatever, have that. shyt, I probably have more extreme views about the damage white supremacy does to our society than the vast majority of the people who run around rooting for a race war they can't possibly win. But I don't like unfocused, incoherent, emotional analysis from any side. And I don't hop on board with anyone spouting shyt I find intellectually dishonest, weak, or problematic. I gives a fukk how many nikkas cosign it, if it don't make sense to me, I'll stand alone then. Progress has never been achieved by fighting ignorance with ignorance, by abandoning clarity and thoughtful critique in favor of broad indictments of a group of people to incite people's basest instincts. I'm more frustrated by my society's failure to address its race problem than most, but pretending to be morally innocent is pretty much a major component of the sickness that plagues whites, and I'm not about to go down that same road as a black man.

Well said.

I think you should express those views personally. People on this site (the clowns and trolls included) actually respect your opinion. As small as this site may be in the grand scheme of things, you personally have more influence than you think fam. Posts like the above are why.

Man, I done expressed a lot of those opinions on this site, in real life, in front of actual groups of people in speeches, and on podcasts that people on this site listen to. Ain't nothing new about where I stand. I just think arguing semantics about the capability of a black person to be racist is a waste of time and energy. The global impotence of black racism doesn't disprove the capability of a black person to be racist. That's not remotely complicated. All this other shyt is a lot of anger and frustration. And I sympathize with black anger and frustration, because if we weren't angry and frustrated something would be wrong with us. There are times in this society when I feel American culture is geared toward our annihilation. It's difficult to look at this country's history sometimes and conclude otherwise. But I try to contextualize history and human existence and the factors that influence group psychology and I hold out hope that individuals can be salvaged even when the collective seems rotten. I won't pretend that I haven't had moments where that hope has been tested. And one of the reasons I haven't had children is because I don't want to bring another black child into a world that often seems to despise him. This world is antagonistic toward black people. But incense stand talking points and white liberal memes don't help anything for me.

You have no clue the paranoia I've encountered since having sons.

I wouldn't sleep. Or I might start studying multiple fighting styles, building a bunker, and taking shooting lessons. As you know, I was with a woman who lost a child. When I look back on it now - and I feel horrible admitting this - I almost feel a sense of relief about that where I initially felt devastation.

Why do you think I'm willing to go to this shyt hole Nigeria in two weeks, hoping I can provide my sons option to escape the type of cism I hate seeing this country does to black people? My sons already taking taekwondo? That I've actually been at the shooting range the past year?

I didn't feel this way with my daughters....only after my first son was born.

I see my son's both asleep and just stand their thinking that no matter how much I can protect them, the world will find a way to hate them.

It's decently articulated bullshyt. He didn't say anything worth a damn buy reading your other posts in this thread I see why you're cosigning. "you can't fight ignorance with ignorance" That's c00n talk 101. Blacks are the only ones who buy into that bytchmade passive line of thinking. Blacks need to actually start being racist because as it is right now we hate ourselves more than any other race. We literally see ourselves as inferior to other races and that's the real reason that we aren't racist. People like and that clown you're cosigning are trying to make this about the potential to be racist. Of course blacks CAN be racist but the reality is that we aren't racist. This isn't about other blacks and other non whites having the potential to be racist its about who actually is racist. It's about who actually practices racism. The only people who practice racism on any kind of significant level are white people.

I think that's because society treats black women with a brand of contempt that's more akin to lack of regard than a contempt that aggressively seeks to eradicate. The message to black women is "fukk outta my face, you don't matter." The message to black men is "die." But I'm a man and I'm sure a black woman might tell me I'm dead wrong about that.

My concern is greater than ever because the discourse is regressing. The election of a black president seems to have fractured the American psyche. The rhetoric is more charged, the need for a scapegoat is stronger with so many aspects of society collapsing, and shyt feels eerily close to boiling over. And even with all of the open contempt for blacks, the real cut-through-the-bullshyt conversations aren't taking place where they need to. And I feel uneasy every day because of it. Not scared, but definitely on edge.

I had a gun pulled on me last September (and somehow made it out of that situation alive and with my dignity) by a bum ass hooligan nikka and one of things that struck me was the comedy of the conservative black-on-black crime talking point. "What about blacks killing blacks?" So whites killing blacks and blacks killing blacks are somehow both our issues. But both issues stem from the same moral rot, the same historic shiftiness... And in both instances I'm the one with the gun in my face, as well as the one blamed for having the gun in my face. At this point in my life I'm shocked when I meet a black person who isn't at least a little bit crazy.

I think Stuart means basically minority racism doesn't means sh1t cause there's no authority or power behind it. Therfore it is technically racism but it's not true racism cause it basically doesn't matter. When white people are racist it's true racism because they have all the social economic power. That's what I got from it anyway :yeshrug:

shyt is incredible. Especially when you try to take pointed measures to help black folk. Suddenly, BET, Ebony, Jet, HBCUs, UNCF are racist instead of simply getting out the word to a people with no voice.

Which is why I had a problem with Kobe months back when he came with this "we are the world" answer when asked about helping black kids. Niqqas actually buy into the belief that trying to fix black problems are inherently racist...all the while pointing at the short comings of black folks. :krs: :mindblown: :snoop:

Amazing shyt....and why I love Justice Sotomayor saying "you can't wish away racism" last week on the SCOTUS.

it's sad we will probably not live to see whites atoned for the sins they have committed, but that day is coming, where white people worldwide will be a minority, and be treated in every nation like poor whites in south africa, the first shall be last and teh last shall be first.

Breh, how many older black ppl right now would've thought they'd EVER live to see a black president?

Hell even younger ones like us never thought it'd happen. Already in Dallas, Houston there's more Hispanics than whites. Same thing in LA probably.

Change begins subtly, but happens quickly.


It's actually not taught, on the most basic levels there have been studies done that show white babies show bias toward peoples faces of their own race :dead:

Racist Babies? Nine-Month-Olds Show Bias When Looking At Faces, Study Shows


#Inherently :mjpls:

lol...I think that's more familiarity of sorts than anything else. White faces look more like their parents/siblings.

When a 2 year old at the grocery store stares at a black person, it's b/c they havent been exposed to Black ppl.

I think racism is taught b/c often times little kids play w/ each other and don't care about skin color. It isn't until they get older that society, TV, parents dump their bs on them. THEN, it's up to the person to choose how they see the world. Some ppl are incapable of thinking for themselves, and just go with the flow, while some don't.



Ultimately, I think it's funny white ppl get mad about Stu Scotts tweet. If he's not talking about you, then what's there to be mad about? :mjpls:


Hit dog gon holla :sas2:, and the racist ones have to justify or dismiss their cism in the mirror to themselves so they can feel good.

Got 2 myself fam. Totally get it. Even when I try to explain it to my wife, she'll never understand
Breh my 11 year old has dreads...My wife thinks its cute and we've been arguing for 2 years about him cutting them..She's coming from the mentality of it being afro centric. But the older he gets the more I get nervous..People are not gonna see that he's an honor roll student from a two parent home..They're gonna see Chief Keef..

You're dead on about women not totally understanding what it means to be a young Black male..

Him being profiled scares the sh1t out of me...
