Doesn't sound logical.....Yes. Africa as a collective. When we truly reach a consciousness as a people, we'll shed the man made borders (countries) that were cut out by Europeans anyway. At least in the fashion it's cut now.
My father was telling me how Nigeria's borders were cut grouping certain tribes of people that were less "Nigerian" in regards of Yoruba tribe as opposed to people of Togo who were people of "Togo" only due to the way European's cut the land. If I'm remembering correctly, but the point remains the same .
Here it is
I always wondered this. How does he act corny? I hear people say this all the time. Like, yes he is dull but I've never seen him act in any way that I'd criticize.This is something I wanna bring up in here to avoid the trolls.
Should we celebrate Russel Wilson more as being the 2nd black QB to win a ring? We know he's different from most brothas, he acts corny and everything but still... What y'all think?
Uh......yeah!This is something I wanna bring up in here to avoid the trolls.

He's black.
Everything else is irrelevant.
Uh......yeah!
He is black right whats the problem.
Thats that whitewashing right there...not supporting a brotha cuz he's not "black" enough...imagine if he was light skinned.....
Super bowl rings are nice but if he is not for the liberation of blacks he is a non factor to me
I understand what you are saying but in this country he would be discriminated against like any other black person because of skin color smh. As far as black consciousness, I agree unfortunately, integration and the "longing to be accepted by the dominant society" produces alot of black ppl like russell and rg3.Well then we get into what makes him "black"? Skin color? Ancestry? I have my own opinion on this type of issue, but in my opinion I just feel as if black is a mind state or particular consciousness first and foremost. I don't know Russell personally, so I can't speak on what he's truly about or not about. But it's like that RGIII situation for me. Dude has a white wife (he's free to do that), is a republican, supports the military and veterans strongly and openly.....and then you take into account what he DOESN'T say. To me, he doesn't represent or is a part of a collective black consciousness which in turn I don't consider him to truly be a black brother.
I always think back to that Dave Chapelle skit. The blind "black" dude. If he achieved anything, would you celebrate him as being a black guy who achieved _______?
If we allow skin color to force us into who's representative of us, then the confusion continues. There are darker people than I who represent and protect a white supremacist system while there are folks much lighter than I who are closer in line to my consciousness and what we hope to achieve for ourselves and people as a whole.

To get to where I’ve gotten, I’ve had so much help from standing on the shoulders of people like Doug Williams, James Harris, Randall Cunningham, Warren Moon, Donovan McNabb, Michael Vick and so many others.
But “color-blind’’ is not the right term. I certainly realized people’s color. My parents told me, “Don’t judge people based on their color. God created everybody.” I wasn’t naïve. I was educated on being African-American. I knew everything about Rosa Parks and Dr. Martin Luther King. I grew up in Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy. You realized it was … a little bit different. The way I was raised, though, was about treating people the right way. Yes sir, no sir, work your tail off. It didn’t matter if I was black, white, Latino—and when some people meet me they think I’m Latino.
Today, I don’t look at myself as a black guy, or a black quarterback. I look at myself as a person, and a quarterback. My attitude is if I want to be the best, I’ve got to beat the best. And it has nothing to do with color.
this would be
What do yall think about a black Yelp site where we review businesses based on how they treat black customers? I ask because I went to a black-owned restaurant the other day and got some seriously sub-par service...then when some white people walked in the servers tripped over themselves helping them. It doesn't always happen of course but sometimes black businesses get a reputation for poor service to other black folks.
It got me to thinking, if we're going to have a Code that we abide by, there has to be a way to DP businesses who **** on us. A black Yelp-type of site could help pressure these businesses into acting right or at least cut off some of their cash flow.

Exactly. That's the only thing that matters.
