7 Things I Can Do That My Black Son Can’t.

[MikMaq]

That is wonderful but you have no idea about living in the United States and the cultural climate.

Lol whatever dude.

Your country isn't so amazing.

Like seriously wishful thinking their.

Obviously it differently, but the idea that I don't get it as much as anyone else living in the states is absurd.

Were the 51 st state, no nationalism crap bothers me in saying this.

I never said my country is amazing.  On the contrary, it has a lot of problems and these problems are getting worse.

You know what I meant, it's not so different that I don't have a pretty solid understanding of things.

You could easily do the same, if canada was on your radar more than 3 days a decade.


Our gun violence is basically a mimicry of the shit you fellas have.

[Natural Man]

fact is no race is innocent they all fought each others doing nasty things and they re barely pretending to be at peace as the moment only because the economy has been somewhat stable for decades. If there was an economic collapse everyone would stick to the people of the same skin color first and foremost.

humanism is to atheism what charity was to christianism; some PC bullshit that will never work cause we re animals, nothing less, nothing more. Everything else is sheer hypocrisy.

You don`t.  The unique thing about America is that it feels so different from state to state.  Its not the same for all, even for people living within the United States.

No shit sherlock.

The same in canada. I don't identify by country. I dentify with my island. The rest is all mainland. The border is just an imaginary line.

Gun violence in toronto, perfect proof of how non existant that border is.

[Skorp1o]

lol my best friend is Jamaican. you don't know a lot abt me.

Bruiser is Jamaican?

Simple Simon did bring up an interesting topic.   The fact that people feel its acceptable to blame a person for the historical actions of another who happen to be of the same color.  I've heard a lot of people say in this thread that you don't judge blacks by the actions of a few.  By the same logic, isn't it unfair to judge a person living today by the acts committed by others generations ago?   I have more right to made a judgement based on my own experiences than anyone who judges me by the actions of few people long dead.

[King Shizzo]

Hey Goodrum, this is how you make a race baiting thread 

[King Shizzo]

[Shockwave]

Interesting to me that everyone arguing about how shit is here in the states, either have never been to the states or just briefly visited.

Carry on.

Well said. The slave generations in America are long since dead.

You can't pressure us into "white guilt" anymore. We are on an even playing field.

Racism (regardless of race) is more about being a shitty person in general these days. It is not the culture as it once was.

Yawn, 95 percent of yall would come north of the border, and say it's exactly the same.

I live in canada, not fucking mexico.

It's pretty much the same shit, province to province, as it is state to province.

I'd have way more in common with some alaskan or hillybilly in the appalacians than I do in folks in most canadian cities.

Carry on.

They shouldn't be. Look at the UK. Look at Australia. Look at what just happened in Canada.

This isn't a white vs. black issue. It is much bigger than that.

People all over the world are looking for excuses to steal, rape, and murder.

Racism and religion are a nice scapegoat. Mix in some stupid, and you have a recipe for disaster.

Technology has not changed humanities primordial urges.

They complain about racial profiling but do it everyday they meet a white person.

What if he was white AJ?  I think you are one of the posters who lean too far the other way. I see the statistics.

That does not mean you condemn  a whole ethnicity.

STFU, carny, with your bullshit "thoughtful" threads.

Three fucking years in FL with a metric fuck ton of black on white crime and not a case that I ever saw or heard about the other way around. That state is a third world shithole that I mercifully escaped from.

I have lived in Florida my whole life. You see what your racist mind wants you to see.

There are places you should avoid in Florida, but that does not mean only black ghettos.

There are hispanics and white trash, that will fuck you up just as quick.

Ask our Getbiggers in California about that.

P.S. don't comment about Florida if you only lived there for a few years

You seem to be a racist.

He is right. I also think that he is a white apologist, who has a tinge of "the beta". Maybe having a black son with a black woman made him realize the realities of black male's situation in America, something that he was ignorant to before. But, at the same time his son is light skinned, which is why he hoped it garnered him some sort of reprieve. The child being light skinned will be thought of as "less black" (or less authentic). And yes, unwittingly feeding into the growing colorism that has plagued black folk in the Americas.
Yet, he doesn't go into the "black men are feared" stereotype, which really came on the scene roughly around the 60s, but for the same reason black men are feared--for their "physicality", black men have been admired, and sexualized.

I get that he is concerned, but I also get a whiff of trying to appease to black folk with the "I now know your pain" routine. Which to me is disingenuous.

He should get a pass though. He had enough balls to marry, and have kids with a black woman. He followed his heart (regardless of color) and this article reflects his concerns for his children.

He is in a tough spot.

No one gets a pass, or should get a pass. It doesn't take balls to marry a black woman. Or have kids with one.Black women can make excellent wives, gfs. To make a statement that he has balls to marry a black woman is to make a statement that they are unworthy partners for men---white or other. And we assume that he followed his heart. In this day and age, never assume.

You completely missed my point.  I have had the opportunity to date a few black women in my life. There absolutely comes a point (as a white man) that you have to decide on whether a relationship with a black woman is worth it.

You have to contend with your family, her family, and the general public.

Interracial relationships are inherently tough.
