Black Culture Discussion Thread

I didn't mention fighting a police officer. I was speaking to fighting civilians. That has nothing to do with ego, it has everything to do with self preservation. She spits, she has a disease, she has assaulted you, and you have a right to defend yourself AND holding her until law enforcement arrives. Laws vary from state to state, and this is the law in NYC. Fighting the cops requires a different approach.

I used fighting a police officer as an example since you are talking about speaking with lawyers and officers about legality of self defense. Sure legally you can defend yourself, but I find it hard to believe that you can look at the situation from the outside and say that a black person beating up a white person when the police arrive on the scene is certainly going to work out in the black person's favor. Police arrive on the scene and see a scuffle of a black person on a white person we all know that black person is going to catch fists, batons, or a bullet.

And it does have to do with ego, self preservation can be running as well. Fight or flight right? Again, how do you think cops will react to you holding a white woman down on the ground and she's screaming and crying? I'm not buying you think cops will run on scene and consider the state's laws?

Now that you’ve defined ego, would you mind defining righteous anger?

BLACK FOLKS! BE ON ALERT!: Wypipo Coughing Intentionally Whenever Black People Come Around
young_ill_businessman_coughing.jpg

I thought I was going crazy but I am convinced this is intentional. They cough, and clear their throats at Black people year round. Without any other symptoms!

Was on vacation last week on a cruise to the bahamas, even my girl is starting to notice what I've pointed out to her.

Rednecks conviently coughing up a storm whenever we came around to lay by the beach on the island or the pool on the boat.

Ppl coughing when we were seated in the dining area for dinner or even just passing us by.

At the airport I had to confront this person walking the opposite direction for coughing in my face!

This is how they wiped out entire civilizations back in the day and took over their lands.
Please tell me I'm not the only one who notices this.

This **** is nationwide!

Nothing would surprise me about the aids virus. It's funny how aids was big in the white community when it first hit in the 80's then all of a sudden the media turned it into a african/african american disease.
 
Rare Cyclone in Africa Kills 122 in Mozambique and Malawi After Unleashing Heavy Rains

Flooding from tropical cyclone Idai, the biggest to hit southern Africa in over a decade, has left 122 people dead in Mozambique and Malawi, with more than 140,000 people displaced, local media reports.

Described as the deadliest weather disaster of 2019, the tropical cyclone made landfall on Thursday evening just north of the port city of Beira in Mozambique.

The strongest winds around the eye were about 160km an hour, blowing from the south across the city, according to Aljazeera.

The winds left the 530,000 residents of Beira cut off from the outside world on Friday after power cables were destroyed and communications severed, the Eyewitness News reported.

“There is no communication with Beira. Houses and trees were destroyed and pylons downed,” an official at the National Institute of Disaster Management told AFP.

“There was no tsunami-type storm but Beira and Chinde (400 kilometres, 250 miles northeast of Beira on the coast) were badly hit.”

Officials say a hospital and seven schools lost their roofs and four houses were destroyed, adding that efforts were being made to assess the extent of the damage.

Evacuations were ordered along coastal regions of the country as the cyclone approached.

“The government has decreed a red alert due to the continuing rains and the approach of the tropical cyclone Idai, expected to reach the country between Thursday to Friday,” the cabinet spokeswoman Ana Comoana earlier said.

Mozambique’s national carrier LAM said on late Wednesday that it was cancelling all flights to Beira and Quelimane, which is also on the coast, as well as to Chomoio, which is inland.

Many passengers were, however, not aware of the cancellations, leaving scores of them stranded at Maputo International Airport, reports Eyewitness News.

Prior to the cyclone’s most recent landfall, Al Jazeera reported that at least 66 people were killed in Mozambique, 45 in Malawi and four in South Africa following torrential rains that brought in its wake flash floods.

The floods in Mozambique have already destroyed 5,756 homes, affecting 15,467 households and 141,325 people, the report added. In neighbouring Malawi, the government declared a state of emergency after 56 people died and hundreds of thousands were displaced by flooding, the Evening Standard reported.

Now considered the deadliest weather disaster of 2019, Idai is expected to bring highly destructive winds, heavy rains in excess of two feet and a 20-foot storm surge, according to The Weather Channel.

As it moves inland on Friday, the weather system will weaken but may result in significant rainfall and widespread flooding over the Sofala and Manica provinces, the extreme eastern parts of Zimbabwe and southern parts of Malawi, the South African Weather Service said.

Mozambique experienced deadly floods amidst devastating hurricanes in the past, including 2000 and 2007, Reuters said. About 350 people died, and over 650,000 displaced when Cyclone Eline hit the country in February 2000.

South African charity, Gift of the Givers, had earlier warned of “substantial devastation with massive flooding both from river and sea” when Idai made landfall.

An article on The Conversation in November 2018 had also warned Southern African governments to brace themselves for more tropical cyclones in future.

“Coastal buildings, roads and bridges need to be built to withstand the high wind speeds, heavy rainfall and possible storm surges to prevent costly damage to infrastructure,” the article suggested.

It also called for improved forecasting systems so that cities and towns can effectively evacuate before a storm makes landfall to avoid any deaths.
