How do you practice or teach Black Respectability without creeping into White Acceptance/“Ur one of the good ones” ?

Is it wrong to feel like the two will always be connected no matter what.


or maybe not idk i’m high writing an article about capitalism rn.



let’s have a discussion tho?

Manners

Kids that are NOI/Muslim adjacent are polite as fukk. Same with certain Christian denominations

My dad did shyt like get angry if my elbows were on the table.
Emphasis on Little shyt like that transfers over to other forms of etiquette and stays with you forever, because you don’t wanna be told shyt twice.

These young boys wilding don’t have a father upping the bass in his voice every time you don’t say thank you, or please. Or shooting you looks for slouching, or make you say “may I be excused”

 

[Iceson Beckford]

Do it from a perspective of actually trying to elevate certain standard for yourself and others in your community.

Not through the lens of trying to gain respect from white people, but to benefit each other. Theres also a class element to it, not just race.

Also do it without being condescending or snooty, if we all knew better we'd do better.

Some people try to compensate and or act hard because it's what's cool. Having manner and or being smart was never cool in the hood hence the word nerd/lame. You have to change the whole culture (have integrity , morals and values) first before you ask this question.

 

[RickyDiBiase]

just don’t be condescending and you’re good

 

[Fanservice]

I was always cordial growing up because I didn’t want to shame or disappoint my parents. How you act partly reflects how your parents raised you. Kids who have deep respect for their parents usually have deep respect for themselves and act accordingly.

Manners as previous posters said, remembering where you come from, and remembering that not everybody is gonna respect the color of your skin, no need to try to fit

 

[BaggerofTea]

Teaching self love and having a self esteem will do more for black people than whatever you are talking about.


When you have love for yourself you respect yourself, when you respect yourself, you respect others.

 

[Amo Husserl]

Commune around an accepted mode without interference from other groups.
Talking too much to other people is how we got here in the first place.

Carrying yourself with respect is a foreign concept to some. Which is why they equate it with "white people" rather than home training from Black parents.

i dont understand how it is "white acceptance"

have a set of values, expect them of yourself and everyone around you. including asians/whites/latinos etc.

there is nothing wrong with having standards for yourself and others

 

[jilla82]

stop worrying about being "black"...
...focus on being a good person

Islam is one way. White people will never touch it.
