Black Culture Discussion Thread

[blazersfan]

The fact this dude links Kwanza to African history is fail. Can we divert from this troll, and direct the energy to what this thread was created for?

Any documentaries or books that are recommended by yall?

been said this dude @am1x90xnike
 is cornball brotha, and a troll...i still think he is white lol

I am lowkey starting to think this too

lol lotta Italians hate blacks due to self hatred of many/most of them having black in them due to the Moors.

True. I'm not black but I'm just pointing out how ridiculous his statement was. Apparently if you want to celebrate your real ancestry, you have to celebrate people who raped and enslaved you too.

Anyone who says "I don't see color" is a damn Fool. I see color and appreciate EVERY culture, don't let these racist play mind tricks on you saying that you should ignore peoples colors, the differences in colors and cultures is what makes the world amazing and we should all learn from each other, and NOBODY should be victims of oppression.

Isn't that your history though? Like, you have an alcoholic father who is great at baseball, he beats you, but I'll be damned if he doesn't make you a hall of famer...what would you do then?



We all pick and choose, I choose differently. I would really like to know what I got wrong...like no one has said my history was off...and if you read pages back you'd realize I hate Kwanzaa because it's contrived, along with the term African American...and I don't think you've ever read Malcom or Brother El Shabazz if you think they'd be offended by the term negro, he said it every other word...

In sitting here, throwing all types of black history out there, can't say I'm wrong, yet y'all argue...don't get it.

Y'all sitting here 'Africa was great, white peoe stole us' read the books pleighboi, Africans sold Africans into slavery to whites...shouldn't you hate them?

 

[Quincy McCall]

It's just ridiculous, this is the BLACK CULTURE thread, if you want to go speak on negropeans and negropean lifestyles then just go make another

It's like the slaves just saying " we were free once but that's the past lets let that go and embrace this cornbread."

Now compound thousands and thousands of years of that baby interbreeding with light skinned people and what do you get?

BTW, albinism, green/blue/grey/ eyes, red hair, blonde hair are all genetic defects.

Yea I'm not a fan of that mentality either. I'm not a fan of that "melting pot', "integration", "We are not African American, Asian American,etc; we are just American" terms at all (a lot of them are xenophobic to me). Why would anyone choose to be generic and cultureless?

I see it a lot on the internet. "My grandfather chose to change his Italian/German/Chinese/Indian last name and spoke only English to us." Well your grandfather was a moron

at the thought of celebrating my "white heritage"

If that ain't bout the wildest thing I've heard on this site.

What kills me is that these idiots allow the White man to define himself as American while they must be called a "-American", when the Black Man, the Chinese Man, the Mexican, etc all played huge parts in building this nation.

The ones that did were forced to or they were killed! Man read more. Stop acting like what info you have is the finish line. I can tell you are young. Keep reading and living.

Read on the caste systems in India and how the lighter Indians basically have to treat the darker ones worse or they are exiled too. Keep reading man! Then come back and tell us how shady Ghandi was

People say that to mask the issues minorities face in this country. Its a way to sweep things under the rug and pull this "we're all in this together" b.s.

The concept of "Slavery" was not the same in Africa as what the Europeans had in mind. Europeans capitalized on the Greed of man, those who did not want to deal with that fought the Europeans, so dudes need to quit pulling that card as if all the Africans were just selling their own people and stuff all willy nilly, look up Shaka Zulu. That dude is a troll obviously so no need to even respond to him.

I have no clue why I see black folk out on St. Patrick's day. An excuse to drink?

Personally I've never participated and couldn't tell you when it is, so I'm probably not the person to ask

All while escaping the terms "Lazy, trifling, and thieves"...I can't deal

Yes, that's true. Then gave black slaves the swift boot soon as Europeans started producing even cheaper labor...no thank you no land no money no reservations for our Washi-taw Indians no nothing!

 

[am1x90xnike]

So...it's ok to sell your brother when a guns to your head?

Chattel slavery (the type practiced here) was different than all forms of slavery in the world. The only slavery protected with property law, but that doesn't mean slavery was ok because it wS African in African.

So every black slave trader did it by force? Are they not part of African history? If it was by force, then whys they pay? Your history not making sense man...

Y'all are selective in your reading, understanding, and internalization...we all are...but y'all seem to go beyond the norm.

 

[knowledgebones72]

Yea...i'm not gonna attempt to justify slavery in ANY situation.

"Well, they had slaves in Africa too."

"OK.THAT was wrong too, bruh! That doesn't make it cool."
