Do these photos make you SAD, MAD or PROUD?

[Atlrocafella]

That's why achieving Black Excellence is so important. Work hard, prove to ourselves that we can reach the top, and leave something for the next generation of African Americans to aspire to.

To Dorothy for being an agent of change

you nikkas wanna know the irony?

if this same sophisticated black girl walked into an "all black public school" in 2013 with similar attire, all those rachet black hoes would pick on her, fight her, and post it on Worldstar


black people lost

yup

somehow made progress and gone backwards at the same time

racism wont be over until this born in the 80s generation are the old ones, then most people will have truly forgotten about it

She had a sprit in her, that we lack today.

Makes me want to pop the trunk and let one loose on them CaCs.

Good thread. Whenever I get into an argument about race with a white person, I start asking them simple questions about the civil rights era and integration. They usually are quick to shut up when it becomes obvious they know so little about what they're talking about. I know minds aren't being changed, but at least there's that little piece of them that realizes they're speaking from a place of privilege. My favorite thing to mention is the Tulsa riot when they act like black people have been left alone and just haven't managed to build their own communities.

On a separate thought...as a black man living a relatively decent life in the US, I struggle with the the thought that I am the beneficiary of similar -types of oppression against people in other countries. From the cheap glass of orange juice I had today, to the relatively low price I paid to fill up on gas yesterday. I am a beneficiary of the exploitative, imperial impulses of the US. I don't have a solution brehs, but as you think about white privilege and obliviousness, I encourage you to not lose sight of how you benefit and may be complicit in the oppression of others as well.

one of the best posts i've read on the coli

Too many of you have deluded yourselves into thinking the evil witnessed in the eyes of the cacs in these pictures doesn't exist in the hearts of young whites. The system of white supremacy that affords unearned privilege to white America installs that evil in all whites. Some try to fight it, out of guilt and an honest desire to be fair to all, but most whites eventually come to the dark side of amerikkka.

Yup. Being a 23 year old, white person, this is so true. It's not just older whites, its the younger generation, as well. It trickles down from either our parents, media, schooling, etc etc...

Racism in the younger generation of us whites really showed with the Treyvon Martin case.

Disgusted. There are grown ass people in those pics, going along with the bullshyt. I swear these some self entitled mf'ers

[quote="Mr Uncle Leroy, post: 4934841, member: 2419"]Some of the old folks walking with them are actually handlers/supporters.

But really, it is sad, what racist whites have done to blacks.[/quote]

Yeah...I was waiting for someone to point that out. I watched the "counts" slide show that someone posted at the beginning of this thread and peeped that the old dude was actually walking her to the school. To answer the thread title, I'm mad and proud.

On one hand, it's angering to see how she was treated by those children and to think of how foul black people were treated back then. On the other hand, I'm human and I probably had some IGNORANT opinions when I was younger about things that I didn't quite understand yet (especially to the opposite sex). I'd hate to be lumped into a category based on what I did/thought when I was a child. That older cat walking with Dorothy was probably taught differently when he was raised and then he realized how ridiculous the shyt was when he got older.

I think I'm more frustrated when I see old pictures of ADULTS doing foul shyt...but as someone who's worked with kids, it's hard to sit here and go "fukk them. They probably grew up and became ____ with ____ beliefs/morals." That's how ignorance and generalizations get perpetuated. Who really knows?
