I WANT TO ENCOURAGE A MORE CONSTRUCTIVE DISCUSSION OVER RACE RELATIONS ON NT

[JPS]

This is really all it is. Meth touched upon it earlier. "Black" in 2016 still has a negative stigma attached to it. Which is why I asked him why do some Dominicans acknowledge that and others don't, but as usual he ignored the question. You can choose to self identify as a giraffe if you want to, but it's not going to change the reality of others and how you're treated because of how you look.

So NT Ima need ya to provide us Latinos with a color chart in which one goes from black to white so we Latinos as a whole can satisfy NT...this is getting out of hand.

On NT. We're all Black. We just light skinned Black, bruh.

 

[ksteezy]

"Light skinned black"

Hopefully we get that box in Da Census

 

[JPS]

 
Using cheap "humor" as a defense mechanism. We are not all black.

This is an all or none thing, if ninjahood aint black I never want to hear him refer to anyone else as black.

would u consider A-Rod Black?

 

[bleach]

This whole idea of forcing people who don't align themselves with blackness, to identify as black reeks of desperation to me. The black community doesn't need them, honestly.

You assume too much.
Hardly a defense mechanism. I'm literally going by the rationale you and other NT'ers are using.

BLACK MEN AND PROUD OF IT 

 

[ksteezy]

This bruh rather classify her as light skinned black before simply Latina, which is what she identifies as....lmao

 

[JPS]

 
Yes. If I recall A-Rod referred to himself a black and spaniard.

Spaniard? I never knew.

I never claimed him as a true yankee doe so didn't bother to learn about him 

 

[JPS]

 
Do you think Jamie Fox is "black"?

he "light skinned"

 

[comptonprince]

 
he "light skinned"

 

[ksteezy]

Do you think Jamie Fox is "black"?

Black-ish?

Idk you the expert on color...what you think?

 

[comptonprince]

Do yall believe the saying whatever race your father is you are?

 

[JPS]

 
yea but is he "black"?

yes lol.

 

[Mark Antony]

Yeah I don't think the argument is that all Dominicans are black, just the black ones.

Once again Same parents producing children of different races, according to NT

This sorcery, I need answers.

Dunno what to tell you baby pa, what do Haitian and Jamaican families with the same makeup call themselves? Same time though i'm not as hard line as I used to be on this topic, it is what it is.

 

[filthyjiujitsu]

Do you think Jamie Fox is "black"?

Yep. He's African American. Not Dominican.
I can deflect as well....Lemme start.
Would Rachel Dolezal gotten a Black pass had she been Dominican?

 

[comptonprince]

Mariah Carey gets one...

So does Amber Rose

 

[filthyjiujitsu]

Mariah Carey gets one...

So does Amber Rose

And they are more "light skinned" than Rachel.

 

[filthyjiujitsu]

I didn't ask if he was African American I asked if he was black. People are treating that word like a plague on here.


And why is he African American and ninjahood isn't, they are both descendants of West African slaves brought to the Americas.



Why isn't Jamie Fox just American? 

I tried this road of we're all one with you already. Clearly you disagree. That's why he isn't "just American". You asked if he's Black. I gave you a full answer on why he is. Stop deflecting in every response.

 

[calibeebee]

Race is a social construct.

 

[ninjahood]

So NT Ina need ya to provide us Latinos with a color chart in which one goes from black to white so we Latinos as a whole can satisfy NT...

This is exactly what America does to latinos.

Something we don't do to ourselves.

Shoutout to all my Dark Skinned-English-Caribbean Jamaicans. Nah, I ain't Black B. I'm an English cat. .

This is kind of what we are getting to here. If a black Jamaican dude said that to Steezy and Ninja... They would hit him with the, wait wut? You black.

Hell, a dark skinned Haitian could tell you he's French-Hispanic-Latino, not Black....and by Ninja's worldview.....he'd hypothetically agree. We all know in reality, that a more likely response would be, Nah B, you black. There's the irony. Let's not even get started on how DR people view Haitians.

All in all, you are who you define yourself as. Nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with being a prideful Dominican etc. It just seems kind of crazy that a dude would call himself "Spanish"....a country he's not from, before he acknowledged his blackness. You don't have to define yourself as black. Not at all. But to diminish, and not acknowledge it....that's something else.

Cmon man.

You know there is a color chart and colorism in Latin America . You'd be lying if you said otherwise.

 

[ninjahood]

"Light skinned black"

See how ridiculous it starts to sound? in thei ethnocentric world light skin black people exist but dark skinned latinos dont.

And their arguing a point da census made moot.

 

[filthyjiujitsu]

So he's African American and NOT black? I'm not quite following you. Why isn't he just anglophone American LIKE ninjahood is LatinoDominican?

Wait. Where did I say he is not Black? For sure there is a loss of communication now.
