Are blacks the most elitist and excluding race? :lupe:

Or is some level of elitism and exclusion characteristic to all races? :leostare:

I'm not sure. :patrice:

It seems like black people are the quickest to disown a black person or question a black person's "blackness" based on disagreements with who that person is or choices they've made. I've heard black people's "blackness" called into question for the following reasons:

  • Dating/marrying non-black people
  • Going to college
  • Enjoying school
  • Speaking proper English grammar
  • Attending primarily-white schools
  • Living in the suburbs
  • Living in states with no major city that is populated by a significant amount of blacks
  • Believing in Jesus
  • Not believing in religion
  • Being enlisted in any branch of the US military
  • Being a member of the Republican Party
  • Voting conservatively on entitlement, public benefit, and other social programs
  • Not supporting famous black people
  • Being critical of famous black people, especially President Obama, Muhammad Ali, Malcolm X, and Floyd Mayweather
  • Not being about "that life"
  • Not hating white people
  • Listening to certain types of music--country, rock, classical
  • Wearing certain attire
  • Having a certain skin tone
  • Having a certain hair texture
  • Being homosexual
The list probably goes on...

Now, I think most of us can agree that, like most races, blacks are not a monolithic group. If we hold this to be true, why do we have such rigid and lengthy criteria for being black? :ld: Why do we question one another's ability to BE black? :ld: Why is important to exclude others from being black? :ld:

Thoughts, please.
online yeah

The Black American struggle is unlike any in RECENT history. Say what you want about Black Americans but one cannot (in evaluating a people) disregard the psychological impact of slavery on the peoples and also disregard the fact that segregation ended while most of our parents were already alive and STILL CLAIM to be objective. I'm not absolving black Americans, we still have some shyt we have to take care of. But viewing the current situation without considering the past is unfair :yeshrug:
