Think hard.... no wait, not too hard... and remember that the reason it was conceived in the first place as a "color" issue is because of the racist bastards who were lynching people. Now jump into your delorean, travel to present day, and tell me that the same mind-state which these "racist bastards" used is justified for you to use in this "fight against racism".
What fight are you talking about? Saying "I'm black and proud"?
We are talking about 2 different issues that broke off to different branches. What I've been trying to tell you is that saying "I'm black and proud" is not a fight against white people today, it's a fight within a black persons heart. It's a fight within a black persons head, which you shouldn't be concerned about, because you clearly don't understand it....
We haven't even talked about the fight against racism today. Do you realize that? We have talked about racism in the past and how it affected todays blacks, but we haven't talked about fighting the discrimination blacks face in the present day..... We are talking about the personal battles a black person has within themselves. The wounds and scars that are still there....
Of course color was an issue. And who made it an issue? Thats right... the "racist bastards"! Are you a "racist bastard"? I hope not.
No color is still an issue, and there are various stats out there that show that color is still a big deal today....Like i've said before, just because the jim crow law and slavery is over it doesn't mean that racism withered away. It is still alive, don't give me the crap that I'm trying to keep it alive....Racist people are trying to keep it alive and they are trying to make it hell for other people.....
Now this all goes back to what Heresy said that we all need to know and respect other peoples culture and philosophy. The more we understand other peoples culture, the more we understand them and start to respect them..... This is the fight against racism, and not denying it like your trying to propose....
reasonable" to you, would only be accepted after I put my chains on... and i am not speaking about my mister T memoribilia... but I still pity the fool
Quit putting words in my mouth. I don't care if you had chains on your hand or not, all I wanted was for you to answer the damn question. You don't have to be locked up to do that...If you want to, then fine, just as long as you answer the fuggin questions...
There really ins't ANY specifics on any type of racism, black or white. Racism itself does not only exist within either white or black. Not all racism is white against black, just as not all racism is black against white...
I am not in "denial". I know there are "color issues". But, who created the "color issues"?
Than what are color issues? One of the color issues is racism....
So, now you speak for all people who's skin appears under the label "black". How does this compromise your *individuality*?
Your going to have to elaborate on your last question....
How long is a tainted perception of reality justified? When does one realize that pointing the finger solves no problems? The "abrakadabra" post was directed at your "chittlings" stereotype. If "your" culture is based around stereotypes you disagree with, then do not affiliate it into your reality. Abide by what will help you to grow. You are continuing your attempt at justifying your struggle. Keep in there guy, you may get a book deal soon. Remember, your struggle defines you as a person. Without it, you are nothing.
The finger is pointed at the person who created the problem. When will people quit denying the affects of slavery and jim crow law on the black community? That is straight up pitiful and IGNORANT. Actions need to be accounted for....No one is pointing at just whites, blacks can point at themselves. However when we try to FIX our OWN problems like loving our skin color, we have people like you spewing nonsense. We do one thing you don't like it, we do another thing you don't like it...lol!!
I *HAVE* experienced many levels of tainted reality. Enlightenment knows no taintedness. If everY woman I ever loved cheated on me and tried to kill me, residing my thought based on my limited experience of reality, I would become bitterly sexist. But, because my conceptions are so much greater I do not become tainted. One may justify their own bondage by saying things like, "I am a product of my environment", but its only hurting them. If I was a "product of my environment", I would most likely be racist and sexist. Because all I have to do is know a few "black" people or a few women who did me wrong to justify it in my own mind.
Are you trying to compare being cheated on to physical and verbal abuse? They both bring about different emotions....The thing is not everyone is WEIRD like you dawg. We all have our own emotions and we all deal with our problems differently.
wow, you've lived for 350 years?!? Oh wait.... you're the individual who keeps affiliating himself with that group.... go figure!
Abuse that has been past and kept alive for 350 yrs, we still feel the abuse. Like I've mentioned just take the light skin dark skin issue in the black community, this problem roots back to slave field. I guess you didn't know that then with that dumb ass response. Don't come back here and claim you know the dark skin light skin issue in the black community, because if you did, you wouldn't have that ignorant ass response....
No other race? I thought there was no other race!? Aren't we all "black"? aww shit, I really wanted to fit in. I always liked playing superheroes when i was younger. My favorite was "INDIVIDUAL-GROUP MAN"!!!!!!
Sorry you can't be black.....Be proud of who you are though...lol!!
SERIOUSLY FOR A SPLIT SECOND...
you keep conceiving reality based on the conceptions of those "racist bastards". This is exactly why I tell you about your bondage.
Those racist bastards continue to keep it alive.....
CHANGE THE VIEWS of those racist bastards, and you will see no problem with me. Trying to work with me does your fight ABSOLUTELY NO GOOD....
I bet my daddy could beat up your daddy!
OK, I think I may have to put an end to this discussion with you before you start talking about Star Trek and how it deals with the black community...lol!!
