One thing i love about obama is i can now pull that card.

OBAMA MADE IT OUT AND LOOK WHERE HE IS NOW

I agree with Grim and Laelia - it is not so easy to break one's programming, to let go - and the reality is, people do treat black people differently whether they mean to or not. And you go through life like that, it changes you, it's not so easy to let go.



No he didn't - he was never in. Obama's not black, he's of Nigerian extraction. Like Colin Powell - he's not black, he's of Jamaican extraction...which proves the point, skin color is less of an impediment when one is not held back by self-imposed cultural difficulties.

Nihilism is a copout.

The half-white side made it to the presidency. Unfortunately, the half-black side is making the decisions.

LOLOL GET IT FUCK YA'LL RACISTS.

it doesn't matter what IS when you're appealing to the masses, in this case blacks, what matters is what they think matters.

and judging by their turnout for bama's election, they think him being black is important.

pulling the race card with a black president is stupid. saying its hard to get out of a poor neighborhood because the schools, the jobs and the people suck, on the other hand, is totally legit.

Also saying "LOL IT"S GUD CUZ I VOTED FOR OBAMA" doesn't mean shit when popular vote doesn't matter in elections but the votes of the electoral college....they can brag you can attempt to brag if you voted for the people who voted Obama....but other than that doesn't mean shit.

And to clarify, i've had black friends and they're awesome, and i have had poor friends and they're awesome...i have yet to have a poor black friend because of the social expectation that these (and i hate myself for using the term but it's what they are) niggas act like.

Black people are cool just not the dumbass black people that act gangsta/hood and shit...those are the people that Luci got beat up by...and i think we'd be better off without people like them

Engi-nerd

Apples and oranges. Whatever black people may think, Obama isn't one of them, and he doesn't share their burdens whether they think he does or not.



What makes them that way? That's what Cosby is getting at.

Nihilism is a copout.

i've only had one altercation with some niggas in my life, and that was back in middle school. I feel like people try to keep the black man down so we dont have to deal with niggas, and normal black folks are just caught in the net.

most of the black people i know are cool, but i dont go to my favorite bar when wings are on special.

I think the issue at work is more subconscious. People treat people differently based on race even not realizing it; it's the first thing they notice, it forms part of their image of an individual's person.

Society's messages and values about race are conflicted, so people tend to have these horrible brambles of guilt and repressed drives; this is uncomfortable, so people try to push colored people from view, or dismiss them, even not so realizing.

I think there's a physiological element to it - humans are probably xenophobic by design.

And, honestly, I truly believe that it's probable that there's something in black physiology which makes them have different tastes than other races. I can't think of any other reason these people go to such extraordinary lengths for particular kinds of food. I don't believe "acquired taste" is a sufficient explanation.

I'm with you there. I can joke around about it with anyone but honestly, the amount of ignorance most people show towards those of us that used to/still live in the ghetto is rather astonishing. That isn't aimed at anyone here in particular but rather just experiences I've had in my life.


inb4 mexican lived in a ghetto, shocking etc.

Question, Mono:
Why do so many Mexicans and blacks hate each others' race? I've never understood that.

Blacks are jealous of the Mexican's because Mexican's can swim (across the Rio Grande).

Mexican's have penis envy.

my dig at chicken wings had nothing to do with their food preferences, but the shitty crowd that it draws. the bartenders tip jars will tell you the same for different reasons.

You know that's something I never really understood either. With all the similarities between blacks and Hispanics you'd think they'd get along better. I think a lot of it has to do with the way blacks were treated in America and to a lesser extent in South America. The old racist attitude is hard to get rid of and is generally passed down generation to generation. And I think a lot of the more recent strife is due to the general "acceptance" of black people in America while most Hispanic people still feel as though they are being held out and/or pushed away. It's sort of a "why should they be accepted when we're better/work harder/etc.etc. than they do" attitude. This in turn is looked as Hispanics putting down the black people (and basically is) which unsurprisingly, they're not too fond of.

That's at least my take on it. It's sort of what I've noticed growing up, both sides are trying to be more white without actually being white or "less black/mexican" as Azelma wrote in one of his posts. So in order to be more white than "them" you put them down and put yourself up.

I lived in the ghetto. It really is tough to get out if you have no means to. I've long since removed myself from the lifestyle and pretty much everything tieing me to that past.

Also I just got my arms x-rayed and I will probably need a cast.
