I mean when you really just sit down and digest the imagery around the kinds of individuals that we've seen throughout history identify blacks as hard r’s.…. As you see this man doing in the video below..



What do those individuals….. Look like :jbhmm:

What is culturally black?
Again, this is a question that you wouldn't have to ask if you were in the group. I wouldn't have to answer that question for somebody who grew up in our culture. With all due respect, this is starting to feel less like you have legitimate questions, and more like you're trying to do research. If you're truly with us, then you should already know the answers to these questions.
If Drake is genetically black, then why are you saying he’s not black?

Because he's not culturally Black. Once again, you have to stop repeating questions that I've already answered.

What cultural background does one have to have to utilize this kind of hard r terminology towards actual black people :jbhmm:

Scroll back and re-read the post where I answered that the first time you asked.
You didn’t. you said Drake wasn’t culturally black.

What was not culturally black in a video of a kid doing a teen version of MTV cribs promo for a teen drama and asking his mom for a sandwich.

I’m just asking you to elaborate. You seem to be capable of expressing the ethnographic contexts and references here.

What was “white” about what drake did in that clip?

Since he identifies with it.… You have to ask yourself.… just how often that musty carpet glider Hasheeh uses this kind of language in his day to day

I’m black.

What did drake do in that clip that was universally “not black?”

Why is something so simple taking so much effort to avoid explaining?
Because he's not culturally Black. Once again, you have to stop repeating questions that I've already answered.
He’s black according to you and Canadian.

What more does he need to demonstrate in asking his mother for a sandwich?

Does he see black folks on his glide to work and say... Hey “that's that N*****R” in the same way the man in the video below does?

When Hasheesh is eating his 3rd bowl of tandoori at night and enjoying another nice relaxing evening replaying “papi’s home” …. Does he look at his speakers and say.… that's that “N****R” like the man in the video below

I did say that Drake isn't culturally Black, and I also stated that those of us in the culture know why he isn't. If you're truly one of us, then you should also know why. If you're an interloper, then you should know why I'm not about to reveal our cultural norms, nuances, and tells on this message board.
Those of us who know, know.
Everybody else is not like us.
