In other words NEw Black is just another word for the busie blacks that been around forever. Kind of like the black dude on the phone memeThat's great and all but to say you're a new black like you're on some moral high ground compared to "old blacks" is as dumb as the light skin vs. Dark skin debates.
I'm not going to repeat everything Dr. Carr said in his response but what he said pretty much sums up my feelings towards Pharrell's comments.
Just did a presentation about my background and the Yoruba tribe, and people liked it
well most of my info is from Family members, but i mean wikipedia has some info.DOPE. Can you share with the NT fam some good info about the Yoruba tribe or point us in the direction where we can find some information?
Very true. I was accosted by Mr Marcus' words on this last page, simply for having a differect opinion. He seems to be the type to start fighting when he runs out of curse words. An it's that kind of negative behavior that we use towards one another that needs to stop. But Mr Marcus will tell you that white people conditioned him to be like that, so it's not his fault. So nothing will ever change.
I honestly think that you have gotten the wrong Idea from some uncertain perspective, there is little to no one blaming white people or other races for our problems, and by problems I don't and have never meant success. There is a huge amount of successful black people, I'm not even sure how you dug that up out of all of this. Every time I commented it was about the mindset of our youth, of our people in general, even some other minorities, who have turned on each other, who grasp for an identity outside of their poverty stricken stereotypical neighborhood's. When racism exists and you expect someone to go through life and pretend like it is a forethought, your asking that person to deface themselves just so that we can live in a psuedo-utopia(which clearly some of us do), but again we are the negative ones cause we choose to face our oppressors. You know good and well that racism still exists, putting a hat on it is only going to appease those not effected by it, while were being dragged to fit into this picture of a "post-racial" society.
There is a hoax of extremist idealism being portrayed and I think the media cast America victim. It is easy to not feel sorry for those with lifestyles and ideals that seem impoverish, it is why we kick the homeless man w/o a second thought, cause he likely brought it on his own and doesn't deserve a voice, atleast till he can afford one.(not capin' for homeless people, just telling the truth) not everybody is like that and not everybody is racist, but people actually believe that those who cry out "racist" are extremist who believe everybody outside of their own race is racist!!! which is hilarious. We get the "reverse racism card" thrown at us, while we are being looked down upon, harassed and denied social/economic and political equality, we have to be quiet and not make a fuss, so we're not the ones pointing a finger, cause those people will be directly effected in the same way, right.
You seem like you could be halfway-reasonable person, instead of all your snide comments, I'd like to hear your take on it, and what we should do regarding racism, if you don't think it exists, I would still love to hear your take on it.
Snide remarks? Oh please, I have be these most cordial person in this thread. I state my opinion and then get called "uncle tom" "house *****" and those type of comments, but it's whatever. My take on it is simple and I've stated it many times, nobody in this world owes you anything, simple as that. If you want something work for it. From what I've gathered by reading this thread is that because there is inequality in this country black people as a whole can never succeed. Plus we have been "conditioned" by years of oppression so that's working against us as well. So once things become equal and racism is eradicated, and the conditioning done to us by the white man wears of then we can flourish as a people. Coincidentally, it seems that everyone who talks like this has been able to break the cycle of racism and conditioned oppression themselves and has been able to live a fairly successful life. Which leads me to believe that you guys are the lucky few who have not fallen victim to them discriminatory practices of the white man and have been able to elevate yourselves to a better station in life. Many of you claim to come from less than ideal backgrounds so the fact that you were able to move up must mean you either worked harder than your fellow black person or you've never faced any kind of racism. So either you are all mentally stronger individuals than your fellow black person or everyone else is just weak minded and more susceptible to the institutional racism that befalls so many of our brothers and sisters.
Anywho, my say on it has always remained the same, work hard and prosper. Never give up, don't point fingers, and take full responsibility for your actions. An remember, NOBODY owes you anything in this world.
