EDJ, has this thread answered your original question yet?
How could that answer it. "Wigger-ism" is something that is BEYOND showing support for the African American culture, to the extent that some would want to be a part of it. What he said shows no hatred for any African American, rather an observation of, two of the most involved people in racial discussions on this board, both being African American, both the only two making an attempt at bringing these discussions to the streets. I don't agree with his comment, but I don't agree with your guys' ignorant assumptions of the man for saying it. I for one, know he meant no harm or disrespect towards any "BLACK" person with that comment, but it's typical that "you guys" would, without thought, take it as a racist comment. How many people in the public spotlight refer to pale colored humans as a "white boy". "Fuckin' white boys" comes to mind, something often said in movies, songs, and on the streets, how is that any less racist? What you should be doing is, not analizing his comment in a negetive manner, rather asking yourself the question, why does he think that way? The African Americans I have conversed with on this board all seem to be very one sided. In that, they list so many things wrong with this "white world", yet they are completely guilty of themselves. Why is it so hard for African American's (those on this board) to even out the table? Because the direction they're taking, hypocrasy, is always going to show a dead end.

CUZZ gONNA DISRESPECT ME BUT I KNOW FACE TO FACE HE WOULDN'T SAY HALF THE SHIT HE STRESSES. BUT IT AIN'T ABOUT BEIN' BLAK, IT'S ABOUT NOT BEIN' DISRESPECTED AS A MAN.
You don't know that, in fact, you don't know shit about me. I don't care how big or small anyone is, if im disrespected, whether that be on the internet, or in the streets, im going to fire back. The thing is, THIS IS THE INTERNET, to stoop as low as to try and handle some so-called "funk" from the internet onto the streets is the most hideous thing I can think of. I would rather not waiste my time wrestling or disrespecting someone "face to face" because one person can't take when he gives. I don't give a fuck what you meant by your comment, it was disrespectful to me, so you get disrespected. If you can't take it, then leave the boards or keep quiet. If you want to talk about this shit in a respectful manner, then let's do it. For the record, if I met you on the streets, I would NOT disrespect you, out of my own morals. However, if you said what you said to me on this board, I would say EXACTLY what I said back.
