Cacs dont really fear half breeds.

Are you serious? Then why was the tea party formed? What is this whole thing about reclaiming america from obama? They see a black man as president period it doesn't matter that he is half black, in their eyes he is black.

Get the fukk out of here with your black on black prejudice bullshyt.

:ohhh: I don't know exactly what you're trying to say. But I'll try to respond. :yayo:

Being black in America is more than experiencing racism. Our history doesn't start with slavery.

Our history in America does start with slavery. We came to this country as slaves, not as a free people.

The history of black people, of course, is much bigger and greater than this period of American slavery. We are not, and should not, be defined by slavery.

Being black in America is achieving in the face of adversity. It is Kenneth Chenault, Colin Powell, Dr. Condoleeza Rice, Michelle Obama, etc. That's the problem. We have never defined ourselves collectively outside of *insert white people and slavery".

People of all races "achieve in the face of adversity." That's not exclusive to black people.

Are you suggesting that Chenault, Powell, Rice, and Obama are not good representatives of the black experience? If so, why not?

I agree that much of how we define ourselves is by comparing or contrasting ourselves to white people and emphasizing the influence and import of slavery on black people today. Some of that is constructive, and some of it is also destructive and counterproductive.

Most people who state Obama is "black" usually bring up ridiculous scenarios like: "Im sure when he was a kid white people sait "wait this man has a white mom, we shall excuse him from rascism".

That's reinforcing white supremacy, continuously upholding the views of racist white people as the law. The fact that black people conveniently adopt "Barack" as black proves this. He is bi-racial whether white people accept him or not and whether black people want to claim him as black. Why endorse the 1 drop rule in 2012? There are no physical repercussions in rejecting that outdated racist rule.

I think this is the part where I don't know what you're trying to say. Please try to clarify for me.
