@Crakface really though do you think we could get black boys to sit still long enough to pay attention?

Maybe if the teacher was a pawg

Whats going on is you sensationalizing an issue like a female to rally with like minded individuals, people that are out of their mind. You gettin daps from a chick that was threatening to come to a mans house with a hacksaw because he made fun of her on the internet. :russ: Band of fukkin reprobates.

This is just new age game, and how new age simps try to connect with women. Find a common enemy and then act like bytches for attention.

What you boys dont understand is that women-only organizations exist because the world is the male's oyster. Why do we have Black Girls Rock? Because the BET Awards is Black-male dominated, you probably dont realize it because you're so used to seeing your own and when you don't you have to bytch about it. Yall cant let us have anything exclusive, can you? A lil community center around the way is giving girls-only music production classes and the boys are already bytching about it but how many men are producers compared to women? ALL they're trying to do is ease and even the playing field. Not count anybody out.

This entire exchange is ridiculous. Mike isn't homosexuality hated even more then IR? Should we kick you out because your gay? That wouldn't make sense to me but to many old head it's gospel so there. You can marry who you want, hating on folks because they're married to a different race is ridiculous And Batman, I think we agree but black girls are the most downtrodden in society, they need to be uplifted and every bit helps. @Crakface why complain about black girls when you didn't marry one. You have to answer this because you almost derailed the thread.

P.S. wish I heard about this program when I was younger, I would have definitely signed up.[/quote]
I just think this is an emotional response and a cop out to not hear someone out. If Dave Chappele spoke on black issues or black women, you wouldnt say this. But to answer the quesiton. I didnt stop being black, or having black friends/nieces/nephews/cousins/parents/aunts/uncles/grandparents/associates when i married my wife. I understand that when you prescribe to an emotional philosophy of *when you marry out you have no more say*sounds good when you want to rally the troops to shut your ears to critique but it just doesnt apply to reality because i still have relationships from the above mentioned, people that i care about that i have to assist in guiding and being there for as well as myself as a black man.

If one of the girls in my fam wanted to join blackgirlscoding would i have something to say about it, no because i think its a good program that gives kids some entry level interest into technology. Still, in my mind, when im speaking to my peers im going to offer my critique of the culture behind it and i dont see anything wrong with that. If we're going to sit around and high 5 one another and post black excellence a hundred times, thats one thing but if we're going to have an adult dialogue, im just facilitating that side of it. Now if you think who im married to means i shouldnt speak on it, to me, it just sounds ridiculous and immature.
