Aaron McGruder - "White America has been watching us act like fools..."

[getmoney310cpt]

Barack Obama was light skinned, ivy league educated, a wordsmith who even wrote some of his own speeches, was never seen in public wearing anything other than business, formal, or business-casual wear.

And yet they called him all sorts of slurs and literally tried to make him a one term president. It doesn't matter how peaceful, responsible, stable, educated and law abiding you are. White people have decided to take everything they hate about themselves and humanity and graft that on to us. They are so lazy they wanted slaves to work their fields and yet they call us lazy. They promote incompetent people to high positions in business and politics while calling us stupid. They commit massive fraud and violent crime whilst calling us dishonest. They abandon their children, beat their wives, and kill the whole family while calling our men deadbeat dads and thugs.

We are a scape goat for all their flaws and bad choices. Rather than admit that they make bad decisions and do bad things, they want to pretend that it's somehow our fault that they do things that are against their own interests. There is no criteria under which they'd ever come to see us as equal if we serve the purpose of validating their collective narcissism and self-serving falsehoods they use to pump their fragile egos.

Because ya'll will pick the "worst of us," while actively ignoring the majority of us and go "LOOK AT BLACK PEOPLE!"

Take the Rap industry--it's marketed largley to white people! White male are the biggest consumers!

Meanwhile, black men are the most involved in the daily lives of their children--according to the CNC.

And the majority of black women are pursuing higher education and homeownership--according to several sources.

But, too many of us while cite rap videos and World Star to shyt on us.

This is what I mean, I didn't even say anything specific towards the issue, already you forming hard stances and assuming positions.

This is why I'm not going to get into it on here. You are one extreme voicing your concerns for the OTHER extreme.

Not worth it.

“Black America has been watching us act like White Supremacists for a long enough time where any sympathy they may have had to our plight is completely gone”.


I’ll take “shyt you’ll never hear a cracker say” for 200 Alex.

National turned International gaslighting at it's best.

We need to be the best version of ourselves for US not to gain approval by white people.

Agreed. I look at us and how we blame everything on the white man but then look around at how we glorify the same stereotypes we are hit with. Being loud, obnoxious or criminal gets hyped up like it's a good thing or like it's funny meanwhile our people are getting dumber and dumber and looking down on education more and more.

 

[Weaver31]

They hold us to a high standard while keeping us at the lowest common denominator

This is so well put.

A LOT of these white MFs are going to be racist and that shyt needs to be fought against and exposed as much as possible. But we also do need to look inward and look at how sometimes our community has a crab in a barrel mentality and work to pull ourselves down. It's a fight that needs to be fought on both ends instead of labeling anyone who points out legit problems in our community as a c00n.

 

[RamsayBolton]

in every struggle there is a propoganda war to be fought...

there's a reason everyone dressed in suits during the civil rights movement....

the image plays into the effectiveness of the fight

We need to go back to this shyt because the fight aint over

Breh, #1 People have to stop with this "We never have this conversation" we do. All the time.

#2, I've been on thecoli for over a decade, I've seen plenty of those threads and they start off the same way.

A girl I know's dad basically denied her and her mom, after the mom divorced the dad and put him on child support.

The dad's agreement was "she only married me to stay in the country" and a bunch of racist ass shyt.

It's funny how white people can choose to get married, have babies, and have a life with black people....and still be Racist.

There's really no winning; Racist are Racist no matter what we do.

 

[BaggerofTea]

Weak minded thought process.


Disappointed considering how much I appreciated the comic and anime.


Very very weak man

 

[BaggerofTea]

If you are so worried about ill minded black folks, go talk to them directly. Don't come in my face acting like my existence is a problem

 

[Gritsngravy]

White people had sympathy for black people?

So called proud black people is looking for sympathy from white people?

Just say you want to shame nikkas from acting a certain way, I wish people stop adding outside folks to the equation
They all look down on us, they all look at us as slaves especially crackers, this self loathing shyt people got with black folks is crazy

 

[Gritsngravy]

And of course Boyce Watkins goofy ass rehashed some shyt from 20 years ago

 

[Kenny West]

The amount of pearl clutching and reflexive juelizing in this thread


shyt, I'm in apathy myself. This pro black shyt is lowkey cooked, MFS have proved in many ways that they just want to be dark skinned cacs
