Let me expand upon that. He needs to learn how to convey his thoughts in a calm, cool, and professional manner.God help us.
I study clips from all of the people the news media puts on their shows. Most espscially black guests.
In those settings you have to come correct with inteligence, insight, strong prinicples, knowledge, and ofcourse an awareness of society.
Say what you want about Deray, but he was on a MSM news program and he was spitting so much truth...he forced the white female anchor doing the segment to cut to a commercial break.
What other race of people...where at there best....can get highly acclaimed and accredited white news anchors sweating under the collar to the point where they take the segment off and cut to a commercial.
That's one of the things I LOVE seeing.
If I ever was on Fox News or MSNBC best believe I would be that one forcing them to go to a commercial break.
I've always respected David Banner...respect him more now cause he seems to of adopted the activist/rapper type, but I'm not going to completely fault him here.
In a Vlad TV interview Banner discussed the N-word dillemma and how it effects black folks.
He said something along the lines of "we could be calling ourselves brothers and sisters, or kings and queens, but we prefer to call ourselves nikkas and bytches...the worst thing you could call yourself, we do".
I am guilty of this myself. Since I moved from Pittsburgh and into Brooklyn and started surrounding myself with more black and spanish people, and just feom being in NYC i hear the word being used on a daily basis.
I hate to say it, I've become desensitized to the word "nikka". Black americans say "what's up my nikka" and I'm just like mainly because as and african living in American I never felt embraced as by black folk like that until I moved to NYC. I see it as respect. Listening to hip hop for over 25 ywars that word went from shocking me to just being another word. A word shouldn't have power over us but due to the ugly history of that word it still makes many uncomfortable.
Sometimes I like to use "my african" in greetings to other black people. But I think we need to treat each other more with respect. Sometimes I think we need to abandon that word altogether. I understand why black americans use it...bit its kind of become the most "popular" racial slur to use amongst everyone these days and that bothers me.
Like straight up, people know better than to use the words sp*c, ch*nk, g***k, beaner, k*ke, or any other racial slur.
Other groups are not calling themselvss that.
But somehow...all these people like to call each other "nikkas"?
I've seen arab/middle eastern cats here at the corner store saying "nikka" to themselves. Like "nikka you pressing me". Spanish cats say it so much. You even see indian and some polish/russian/italian wiggers (I hate that term) amongst themselves here. It's like...
But its not malicious its just adapted talk from the culture of NYC.
If I was there, ofcourse I would never use that term...but it seems David Banner is still trying to undo the old him.
