I am pretty intelligent, but I cannot understand this one

I have the same thoughts as well 'Bee.

Another example is the movie "White Men Can't Jump"

If a whitey made a movie (before Tigers time) that was titled "Black Men Can't Golf" all kinds of hell would've been raised.

You sound like my dad.

I rented White Chicks for him. Some parts were funny, but he says "all black humor involves degrading white males"


My thought is this maing, I dont give a shiat. Whatever other bullshit is going on in society, I was damn lucky to be born caucasian in the US. Say whatever the fuck you please, so long as Im getting paid

I hear ya, and I'm not exactly losing sleep over it, but it is really fucked up. I think my major problem with it is that most of our leaders in this country are that goddamn ignorant, scared and plain ol stupid to actually realize what is going on.

oh yeah...def agree on that one.

...actually agree on this post too...buuuuutttt....that's not going to change the facts. *shrugs* whadaya do?

How can we possibly have channels like BET and Encore Black?! I don't know why this makes me absolutely insane, but it does. Every single person in this country should know that if anybody even attempted to make a TV station called HBO White, there would be riots. Does anybody else see the insane absurdity of this?!!! It blows my mind. Has this country become this spineless and pathetic? We have allowed ourselves to be held hostage by the race and minority card to the point that reverse racism is now going to become a problem. Apparently nobody understands the term "equal" or "discrimination". They only see it one way.

Killah, how can you living in the NYC not understand the basics of racial politics?

White people will never be exempted from a past filled with slavery, racial bigotry, segregation and inequality to those of color.

That's something you just can't live down, regardless of whatever reforms you impart later. White people brought slaves over to America against their will, you made your bed, now lay in it. You complain that blacks get their own networks, but honestly does it really matter in the long run? Is it effecting you? The reason there is no "HBO White" is because America's majority is white in population, and all the races integrate in to that culture, while trying to keep a semblance of their own ethnicity (if they can).

Killah, you claim that you're not racial but you sure bring it up alot, it something that tends to reasonate with you.

Peeps are pussies. Always will be

They're all so concerned about being liked, as if that was the greatest aspiration in life.

But I grew up in Newark, and Ill say this. Id rather "deal" with some moron entertainer talking trash than dealing with the real shiat I saw every day growing up.

Is it harder to be taken seriously as ablack man

Yes

Harder to get ahead

Yes

Harder to even get housing

Yes

Im on the phone with Jaded yesterday going towards my car. Two old fucks get out of their mid life crisis brand new Vette. Gray blading hair, huge guts and bitch tits, climbing out of the car wearing theri best attempt at "this makes me look younger" fashion.

Im wearing jeans, black coat, and baseball cap on backwards (yeah i know, dont say it fucker). These two guys are looking at me the whole time, whispering to each other, and I know theyre scared as hell that Im going to steal their car. Even as he started walkign away he pressed the alarm on the keychain like 4 times, as if to let me know it has an alarm in case I was thinking of stealing their toy. So I got in my more expensive car and made a point of letting them see me as I drove by right in front of them. Cause Im petty that way.

The point is, my black friends go through that shait every day, and I watch it with my own eyes.

Like I said, Im not gonna sweat it. I know when i got the sweet end of a deal

Good point - because I bring it up I am racist. Brilliant.

My point, nuggy, is that if we are ever going to get to racial equality in this country (which most people seem to be preaching about) this is not the way to do it. You don't fight discrimination or racial profiling by doing the exact thing you are trying to fight, but in the favor of those that were harmed by it in the first place. It's nonsensical. I would love to see people not looked at by the color of their skin, but it's hard to do that when it's promoted and groups label themselves, when it's convenient for them.

Perhaps because blacks were not allowed to play? Tough to be good when you can't participate.
