online yeahAre blacks the most elitist and excluding race?
Or is some level of elitism and exclusion characteristic to all races?
I'm not sure.
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:
The list probably goes on...
- 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
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?Why do we question one another's ability to BE black?
Why is important to exclude others from being black?
Thoughts, please.
offline its harder to revoke someone's blackness when you're lookin at a black muhfukka

like this muhfukka ------>




Why do we question one another's ability to BE black?
How'd I do that?
I agree with you. Now, what was your issue, again? 
O let me drink them tears baby.
