I feel ya. We have only had 4 black senators, and 4 black governors since reconstruction. We are hated by everyone, and we also hate our self. American Blacks and Africans hate on each other all the time. It is going to be hard for us to progress when so many Black men dropping out of high school. I think education is the first thing we have to get in order to turn things around for us.Breh...this shyt drives me fukking insane.
Sometimes I wish that our people could just have our own fukking section of earth and not have to worry about the affairs of everyone else. They all fukking seem to hate us anyways. Hate to be so self-deprecating but cot damn if the black race isn't the most disliked group on earth I don't know what is.
And don't get it twisted, I acknowledge that these feelings are often contradicted. I loved the support that the hispanic community gave to Obama, but I can't deny that I also feel pretty uneasy about a future where the viewers of white washed univsion have more and more presence and power. Is a majority hispanic police force really less likely to profile a black man? Will hispanic university presidents give a fukk about black enrollment and matriculation? Does more hispanic presence in the entertainment industry help or hurt blacks? Future is uncertain, I just want to know what's going to become of my people.
I often hear from blacks and other minorities say that whites are just "dividing and conquering" and that minority groups (Blacks and hispanics in particular) need to "work together" and have "common interest"....ancedotally, that doesn't seem to ring true to me.
Even on election night, I had some concerns. Heard a lot about gay politicians, women politicians, hispanic politicians....other than Obama we didn't make any strides (And as much as I hate to "go there"...dude is half white) I think Deval Patrrick is the only black governor, we have a decent history of mayors of big cities (Corey Booker being the most popular right now)...but for the most part, it's still very disappointing. Are we ever gonna get a black senator that looks like Magic Johnson? I'm happy for Tammy Baldwin (First openly gay Senator)....but I'm not sure if her victory is as much of a win for me as other progressives seem to think. We're being left out completely.
Got a little off topic, whatever, just wanted a vent a bit....

Heck going to school is some easy sh*t, starting from pre-K to earning a BS. I can't really speak on this topic too much either because I'm not from the "hood". I guess home conditioning really is a strong determinate, of a successful outcome.
Honestly I do put the black people I know in check. Warn them against, the ramifications of roaming with the populous, pretentious crowd. I make sure all my friends go to school, and are well aware of college being for intellectual development rather than a technical field.
Ultimately, I can't help cats that aren't trying to help themselves. Look how dead, HL & the college section are on this site, but I guess I can infer that by the way the general consensus of this site post, it's filled with ivy league educated cats, who work on wall street or some other highly paid profession.
I take it most blacks, just like myself, are doing just fine

white people have committed the most atrocious crimes on this earth
YET they are free to travel to any country without having to face repercussions, yet a black man has to check travel advisorys and fear for being assaulted in most countries in teh world
I am sorry but i am sick of this bullshyt. Would you say this about the Japanese? Would you say this about Turkish people?
Come on, and i love you bro you are one of my favourite posters here. Why do people only focus on white atrocities and completely ignore the rest of world history?

There's a whole crew of idiots here who cheer for despots you must be new.
This is a black forum. White people enslaved, murdered and colonized Africans. Japanese and Turkish people (who are mostly white but that's besides the point) did not. Naturally we're going to focus on the atrocities that are more relevant to us and our history.
Don't get mad at us, no one asked white people to fukk with us
. It's still going on today so of course we talk about it.

Might want to crack a some books buddy.
I mean I read it as, him saying,the Japanese and Turks didn't oppress us.
Now if he's completely denying the genocide that these two countries carried out, than that would simply be moronic...

I'll wait for his response.
I honestly can't give the majority of posters here a pass.
Black people face a lot of discrimination in Japan but they did not commit atrocities against black people to my knowledge. If there's evidence to the contrary then (for real) I'm all ears. Same thing with Turkey. I'm sincerely interested.
in theory it is
no muslims are perfect
and you shouldn't be a slave to anything
there is no such thing as hellfire
and the us is not a christian country, it is a secular country with a majority of the population being of various judeo-christian denominations
if she is light-skinned she may have been able to pass as one of the natives. This happens a lot. A lot of Black-Americans who are really not all that Black or Dark can go overseas to a country where there is a lot of racism and not experience any of it

I couldn't tell you off the top of my head if they participated in atrocities against black people.
So are you ok with what's going on in Morocco then?
Did Japan and Turkey not commit genocides and participate in slavery?

The former obviously
. I'm glad you brought that up, I felt my post was was pretty clear and unambiguous. The Japanese were responsible for the Rape of Nanking and engaged in some of the most inhumane experiments ever on Koreans, Soviets, Chinese and other Asians. They colonized much of East Asia during World War II. The Turks go without saying regarding genocide (Armenians). This is common knowledge.
Of course they did and of course it's wrong. Scustin Trillberlake is upset that we only talk about 'white' atrocities and I simply explained that most of the people here are black so naturally we're going to talk more about black atrocities.
I'm not okay with any form of oppression and clearly you're delusional and putting words in my mouth if you're suggesting that that's what I was saying.
rofl if you really believe this
