His analogy was dumb. The n word was invented by white people hundreds of years ago. They called black people the word so much that we started using it on ourselves. Then it evolved over decades.
We fought to take down confederate statues, flags etc. Because it reminded everyone of the past. Shouldn't that apply to the n word?
Anyone justifying using it is dumb as well. Young white people use it because it has become about of American culture. I've been to Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, Nigeria and Ghana. Black people don't use it. The ones that do, got it from AMERICAN culture.
And how do you think white people look at us when we use it? In movies, tv shows and music. What purpose does it serve? Martin Luther King Jr. didn't use it.. and if he did it was behind closed doors. Malcom X doesn't use it.
How can you expect white people to respect us, if we don't even respect oursevles.
Coats should've told her that Uzi is ignorant and NOBODY should say it.
" And I do not expect the white media to create positive black male images.
Positive black male imagesare created through revolution, and I thank you for saying that I have scared you - I take it as a compliment, cause anytime that a black man in America stands up against the slave mentality he's going to scare some white people and some black folks too. Just ask
Paul Robeson.
I was a rebel. There was nothing I liked better than a good fistfight. I liked to
bite people's ears off,
choke up on my basketball coach. I didn't like the discipline, the authority. I didn't like the curriculum, the reading list, Cinderella, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. What am I gonna do with one dwarf, let alone seven? Nothing but kick them in they little ass. Little Black Sambo, every time they'd read Little Black Sambo in the class, all the black kids in the class would start laughing out of embarrassment or hide their face in shame.
I hated Little Black Sambo.
Let's do an analysis of Little Black Sambo. Little black boy right? The only little black boy we ever read about in the public school system right? Now granted he's rich, he didn't fit into that poor black boy stereotype. He was rich. He was given all these presents from his daddy but he gets into a confrontation with these tigers and he gives up all the presents without a struggle. He's a little black coward and then at the end of the story all he wants to do is kick back, relax and eat some pancakes. He's a little black glutton.
One time they were reading that story in class, I got upset I took my shoe off and threw it at the instructor. She got upset, starts crying, runs out the classroom. I took my other shoe off, threw it, hit her upside the head with that one. Then all the kids in class start saying, oh Huey P. he used to go wee wee wee, but now he crazy,
and I said cool cool, call me crazy, call me crazy, cause that's what they called my daddy back in Louisiana, crazy, crazy yellow ******.
I suppose with my PHD they'd have to call me crazy doctor ******.
