And I just watched that episode. The light skin brehette at least spoke up and said something. :obama:The half/half brehette (Welker) just let that slide like she didn't hear it. :stopitslime:


You can tell he talking about white people who don’t interact with Latinos. They just hear them talking Spanish in the grocery store.

90% of the Latinos I worked with spoke English or bilingual (even if the grammar was incorrect) and asked me to speak English to them so they could learn.

Problem is that he's one of them. Another legend professionally offs himself. :mjcry:

This is corny outrage, any black person with any sense would be horrified by what's happening in Miami and California

Breh. You know if they're saying that about Hispanics, then they're saying that about Blacks. Every time Brokaw mentioned Hispanics or said "they" you could have replaced that with Black and the sentences, tone, and implication would have been no different.

Brokaw is right to a degree. I ain't mad at him and what he said wasn't racist.

Blacks had to assimilate to a degree. Motherfukkers don't get the right to come here and have everything catered to them. fukk no.

Look at Rollie immediately caping. SMH

Of course they are saying things like that about black people and so our Hispanics

There is no need for any black person to intervene in that dispute especially when the outcome of going against what brokaw said is just more bilinguals preferred job openings

Black people have no friends, we have to triangulate and pick batttles carefully, it is not in black peoples interest for the us to become bilingual, Roland Martin should shut the hell up

Are you advocating ignorance?

It’s in every black person’s interests to be bilingual whether it’s Spanish, Korean, French or whatever.

Being able to converse with people in their native language gives you advantages in forming business relationships or just making connections.

nothing you are saying has anything to do with the real world or how bilingual preferred plays out in the market place, bilingual preferred is just an excuse for keeping out black people from the job market, thats whats happening in miami and in california and in other parts

what native language are you referring to? if you are born in the us, regardless of where your parents are from, your native language is english, and people that come from another countries need to understand that and they also need to learn english, so brokaws comment isnt way off

anybody that thinks the bilingualism and multiculturalism is something that will reduce racism against black people does not fully white supremacy

White supremacy is about maintaining the status quo of the white race. Multiculturalism is about representation of ALL racial groups, cultures, and identities.

Try harder. You’re getting lazy.
