lol @ Israel breaking the laws. PALESTINIANS HAVE NO RIGHT TO THAT LAND. IT IS NOT THEIRS AT ALL, THEY HAVE NO SPECIFIC CULTURE OR HISTORY TO THAT LAND YET THEY DECIDE THAT IT IS THEIRS. YOU AND YOUR FRIEND YASSER ARAFAT MAKE ME SICK. Spreading propaganda "ohh poor palestinians, it is alright if they bomb innocent civilians and kill people, but nooo if Israel makes a raid and arrests terrorists and DEFENDS itself against these butchers they are the bad guys." YOU DISGUST ME.
Is Colin Powell a House Nigger?

"Israel occupies Palestinian land. No Palestinian occupies Israeli territory.
Israel has one of the most powerful armies in the world. The Palestinians have no army at all.
Israel stands in open defiance of more than 60 United Nations resolutions. The Palestinians violated none of them."

Black folks have a tendency to see a narrow minded view of black officials...either they're 'For Us' or 'Against Us', there are rarely shades of grey. My view on politicians and the government is if you have any idea of the grease that moves the gears and spins the tires of the white house, you will pretty much disregard the idea that the structure can be changed by voting for 'better leaders', or 'blacker black people' in the case of black interests. A man who speaks in thick ebonics, c walks into his senate seat, and wears an African headdress to each Congress meeting isn't necessarily going to automatically make the decision that most benefits black people as a whole.
Real change in the government system that will benefit everyone has to come through campaign finance reform first and foremost. If politicians werent affected by outside paychecks, their votes would be alot different. Colin Powell didn't stop G.W. Goober from the war in Iraq, but he did do a few important things like convince him we needed outside support, and slow the pace of the war as well as white house proceedings towards it.
There is no doubt we have a dumb shit president in office right now. There is no doubt Colin Powell didn't stop the war, or make certain other agreeable decisions, but his activities are less epidemic of a Bryant Gumbel than a self-serving politician, the type which describes nearly every member of the White House.

Naw. I'm saying black public officials and black people in the public eye are often judged by the black community under one standard of general 'blackness'. Either you 'black', or you 'not', and this isn't necessarily based on what you have done or achieved in your vocation, it's about how you conduct yourself in interviews or when under the spotlight.
Oftentimes intelligent black folk get labeled 'sell-out' 'white-washed' etc for using proper english and such. The c walk and the headdress were extreme examples but they were used to illustrate a point. Of course every black man doesnt do either of these things. They were an absurd example illustrating the sometimes nonsense 'blackness meter' applied to black public and prominent officials by their own people.

MCLEANHATCH,
YOU KNOW SPANISH? HMMM......? HOW WELL? CAUSE IF YOU DID, YOU WOULD KNOW. BUT SINCE YOU'RE SO CURIOUS LET ME SPRINKLE YOU AND BREAK IT ON DOWN. "WUERRERO" IS A SLANgED UP TERM THAT DERIVES FROM THE WORD "WUERO" OR "HUERO" WHICH MEANS WHITEBOY OR WHITE, I:E A LIgHT-ASS MUTHA-FUKA. SO WUERRERO MEANS YOU HANg WITH WHITE BOYS AND TAKE THEY WAYS.
"BAJA BANDERAS" LITERALLY MEANS THAT YOU "PUT YOUR FLAg DOWN", AND WHEN DEALIN' WITH MEXICAN FOLK(REAL MEXICANS, NOT CHICANOS), THEY REFERENCE IT THAT YOU UNPATRIOTIC, PUT YOUR FLAg DOWN, AND SOLD OUT. IN OTHA WORDS YOU SOLD OUT YOUR MEXICANISM AND THINK YOU ALL WHITE.
ALREADY DEAD,
I CAN SEE WHERE YOU COMIN' FROM, BUT JUST MENTIONIN' THE C WALK AND BLAK FOLK WEARIN' SOMETHIN' TO WEAR ON THEY HEAD AS AN ILLUSTRATION TELLS ME THAT YOU HAVE PRE-CONCEIVED NOTIONS OF WHAT THE BLAK MAINSTREAM IS OR WHAT THEY THINK, OR WHAT YOU SEE AS BLAK FOLK IN THE HOOD THINK IS TRENDY.
REgARDLESS PLAYA, SO WHAT YOU SAYIN' IS THAT BLAK CULTURE CAN'T BE EMBRACED(FROM THE TALK, FOOD, ESSENCE, ETC..)?

Not being black myself, I am of course not going to have a completely accurate picture as to the views of the black mainstream. And while my comments did hint that I held an idea that any black man in essence 'truly black' is going to behave and act in a certain way, thats not my idea at all.
I have no problems with accepting one's culture whether it be based on race, location, family heritage, or religious belief.I think in the days we live in ( 2003 ), this is such a basic part of being an intelligent person that it is almost unspoken. As a matter of fact statements of 'no discrimination based on this, this, and this' are spoken so often as to slmot be meaningless.
While my comments did tread a thin line towards a generalized racist statement, the point was to be funny and I think anyone looking at what I really had to say would see the underlying point, that while accepting one's culture is important, being a 'black black man', a 'woman conscious woman', or a 'raza oriented latino' is less important than what you actually do in real benefit of your people. In many cases this can actually be a barrier to progress, as 'hardcore' or even moderate members of any party look for a representative that is truest to their characteristics, even while adherence to this will cause alienation.
Getting back to the first point, though, I did use joking examples that didnt really represent anything significant about black people, with the exception perhaps of ebonics. In any case, you see where I stand on the subject.

you said wetback not me. i just call them "Mexicans" and i know alote of them. both here and in Mexico.
when did i ever act ashamed to be Mexican.
ANSWER: NEVER.
i have let that be known several times to many here. if i was ashamed i wouldnt mention it. dont you think???
no. that would make me a proud "American" that is of Mexican decent.
why would i claim allegiance to a country that i have absolutely no ties to. all my life America has been my country. America is the country that welcomed my fathers familiy to her. America is the country that gives me unlimited rights and freedoms.
no, it makes me first and foremost an AMERICAN.

In my opinion, yes Colin Powell is saying what the government wants him to. However in his defense, i dont think it's cuz hes a bitch. Its because he's a good soldier. In the army thats how shit runs. A seargent may 100% disagree with an order that the captain gives him, but he will not let his soldiers know. He will tell them they have to do it. basically the politics in the military is you never complain down the chain of command. It is similiar to blasphemy for a soldier in a position of power to speak down upon a higher ranking individual than the soldiers he speaking to. Now he can complain to the people of his rank or higher, but never any below him. That is a good soldier. It keeps the soldiers confident in their chain of command therefore making the chain of command appear to be a cohesive unit (whether or not they really are). ITs like fighting in a family household. If a husband and wife have young children they would not want to fight in front of the kids... they would go into a room and handle shit. same thing. Basically You never question authority in front of anybody lower than you in rank. Anywayz, enough babbling but what Colin is doing is what he is supposed to be doing as a true soldier
