"So he's not black enough?"
« on: April 27, 2007, 07:30:02 AM »
I'm on vacation hanging out in a friend's coffee shop and some guy is talking about how Obama doesn't fit the stereotype most people have for a black guy. Goes through the whole "he's pretending to be like everyone else but grew up wealthy" speech.

I asked "so he's not black enough" laughing at this nitwit.

But.... it got me wondering. Who is the bigger racist? The person who says "I don't like (insert race)" or the person who can't accept someone that doesn't fit their preconceived stereotype?

Good point doc, I would say that generally someone who takes showing pride in their culture (which by itself is a very valuable thing) past the point that they believe another culture/country to be inferior is racism. But someone from the same "race" who is comparing someone's identity in that race to their own, is more a case of someone who causes division (in and out of their culture) by this attitude.

Just a thought?

You realise this is the main cross (no pun intended) to carry for black men or women who succeed in life. If they learn to play the game and become appealing to everybody both sides fight that he/she is a sell out or not black enough or still to black or trying to pass. You see it to some degree with Hilary when she acts as if she is one of the people and has not had a life of privledge. You can't really win is the problem. You only can hope to put the best "you" forward and some will hate and some will love but when it all shakes out people will either measure you by your merit or try to hang (again no pun) you by your skin tone. Sucks really.

Why would I care about being called a house black? Especially on-line, LOL! So few people have the balls it would take to say that to someone's face that it's laughable and doesn't mean shit in the real world. My point is that a lot of actual racism comes from twerps who know every line Biggie ever uttered and wear their hats tilted and have their pants down low. Why? Because they're trying to act like what their streotypes of blacks are.

Plus, these geeks don't know you can't buy experience at the mall. Putting on Timberlands and memorizing rap lyrics isn't gonna make some middle class white guy that lives with his mom down to the point where they 'understand' the black experience'. They are good for laughs. :)

Should I really apologize to on-line nitwits for not staying poor or out-performing a few of them? Maybe today I'll stand on the porch, drink a 22oz and really get down with the black experience, LOL! It should be good for my soul.

As to your ?s:

Suck at basketball, worse at free throws than Shaq

Yes.

In the day, of course.

One Birmingham Barons jersey doesn't make me any more/less black than a guy with ten.

Since you're asian:

Are you good at math?

Do you take a lot of pictues?

Do you have pics of Mao on your walls?

My gf says Asian dudes have little rice dicks, is this true?

Do you know kung fu?

You make a valid point doc, but if it helps I believe I'm the biggest racist.....I hate everyone.

That's better than pretending to be 'down'.

You realise this is the main cross (no pun intended) to carry for black men or women who succeed in life. If they learn to play the game and become appealing to everybody both sides fight that he/she is a sell out or not black enough or still to black or trying to pass.

Sucks really.

I just tell people the truth.

Besides, trying to live down to the expectations of others would be stupid.

Preconcieved notions seem to be attached to many aspects of us, not even just race.

Many people seem to conceive West Indians like we are all mirror images of Bob Marley or something. I have been asked no less than a million times do I 'smoke ganja' and do I have dreadlocks. 8)

I just wish people would get real and accept the fact that most stereotypes are now legitimate classes of people.

I was in Kentucky Fried Chicken two days ago ( Adonis Principles ) when some wigger dude (best way to describe him) was yelling an threatening two indian guys and an old guy. The old guy locked himself in a car and called the cops. The indian guys ran out with thier buckets as fast as they can. The onle people there in the store were women, kids and some other old guy. The cops come in saying that there was someone in the store assualting him, they lined up right behind me...thank God this nice old lady tells them.."There is no one here who did that (as she laid her hand on my shoulder) ...he left a minute ago" .. then a manager who was indian confirmed that 'he isnt here'..To say that I got the feeling that the cops thought I was the guy is an understatement...what if they bring me out for him to ID me and the old man says " yeah thats him..." just to say it..

He's white/asian/chico.  The fried chicken gene is recessive.

JJ it's not your race the cops cared about, it's cause you're a bad lookin mofo.

That's some voodoo shit right there.
