what makes someone with a white parent different from you

you think cause you have a black mom and dad you're "100%"

out of all the millions of ancestors you got, you really think they all had kids with straight 100% blacks?



yall could be the same percentage white and black but you're over here trying to say people with a white parent can't be black?

This thread is 49 pages and I'm late to the party but studies have shown that your average Black American, with two Black parents, is STILL about a quarter white.

By those numbers we're ALL mixed

It's pitiful. The first thing I did after watching that speech was rewind it and black it for my son. Watched it a third time with my girl and all I could feel was pride. But of course, you come to this miserable ass site to see if people are appreciating it and of course that isn't the case.

This site is a cesspool. Pure garbage. Miserable people leading miserable lives

How you can watch this and not be proud is beyond me. How you can watch this, and the first thing that comes to your mind is what his mother looks like is beyond me.

How you can watch him give a speech about oppression, group economics, police brutality and black love, only to criticize his skin tone immediately after is beyond me.

How you can't appreciate a man with a black wife, speaking truths that black people need to hear is beyond me.

@ridedolo youre terrible. Really. Just terrible. In here trying to divide blacks like that. In here claiming you're pro black but creating negativity in a black space where the things that need to be talked about are being talked about. You're full of shyt.

10000000%

How these people in the Audience didn't just strip naked of all the glitter and gold and jewels after that.

shyt is I respect his actions more than anything. But him being a half breed that looks white allows him privileges darker individuals don't obtain.

If he would've spoke on that aspect he would've changed many more minds. But it's like him not addressing his skin tone leaves too much to be interpreted by these simple fukks who will discredit him.

Jesse Williams has spoken on his skin tone like a million times.

He's specifically said over and over that he knows he falls within a certain aspect of the white gaze so he uses that privilege to enter into spaces many of us marginalized people can't go and spread awareness. Y'all really never heard of this dude before Sunday I see.

exactly
that was my whole point in this thread and this other thread

 

[Stacker Pentecost]

So people are pissed at JW for telling the truth, but are not as outraged at dark skinned Kevin Hart saying black folks look for any reason to play the race card in Hollywood?

Rep

I didn't know who he was until a few years ago when I came across a piece he wrote. He's actually been writing, speaking and acting on the things he's said for quite some time.

YEARS

He was a teacher and activist in Philly prior to becoming an actor.

Maybe Its just me, but I honestly believe some of these posters that are in here shifting the conversations to mixed vs blacks, causing confusion/havoc are agents. While we just witnessed an incredible, possibly life changing speech on black empowerment on national TV, on different networks, the topic of discussion is about his gotdamn white mama and if he's black, mixed, etc.
That shyt is fukking irrelevant and stupid. If Jesse went the other way and embraced his white side, start going on anti black tirades you'll see threads/replies about how he is .

"What you expect? He ain't black anyway...He's mixed. He never was one of us"


When he's embracing his black roots and challenges white supremacy

"Man...he ain't black, He's mixed. His mama white. He's not one of us..."

Which one is it tho ?


It be a gang of agents/cacs running around setting up traps, tossing bait all on this site for blacks folks to argue/fight with each other, but it happens the most in TLR. I see the shyt go down before it even happens. Again, thats just my opinion but I'm going with my instincts. Again, we don't have to say he's black and claim him as one just to support him.

I fukking agree

 

[Stacker Pentecost]

Yea but when yall go the 1 drop rule route, yall taking history out of context. That was not implemented for people with 1 white parent, as I stated based on science, in those circumstances, that person was going to come out majority black anyway and everyone could see it. White people have recessive genes and they hate to admit that so they came up with this bullshyt called "biracial" to imply the mating would be a 50/50 split when science says it never has. Then whites used these differences, never to empower this "biracial" person outside of using them to enslave and war with other black people, this is how these caste systems came into place. They used a genetic ability we have against us, and that is the ability to produce all shades.

The 1 drop rule was implemented for black people who had 2 black parents but would attempt to gain rights using a white grand parent or white great great grand parent. White people were not having it. They were implementing many things to disrupt our ability to get rights, even so many of us trying to claim Indian to get rights but they busted that up too.

So all this becomes nonsense. Tamir rice, rekhia boyd, Tony Robinson, were all light skinned black people killed by police do we not share their struggle simply because we created this imaginary divide that america does not adhere to itself?

And Tony Robinson had a white mom. Didn't stop him from catching a cop bullet tho

Mulattos be Black when they're getting gunned down but not Black when they're preaching that pro black ish? ok

 

[Stacker Pentecost]

Some people so militant they c00ns.

I'm getting this shyt tattooed on my fukking forehead

 

[Stacker Pentecost]

I've met Jesse Williams before and I can definitely vouch for this man that he does have a love for our people. It wasn't Jesse's fault that he has a white mother and it definitely isn't Jesse's fault that this society and our community puts mixed and bi-racial people on a pedestal. He made an inspiring speech last night to a national audience that most celebs in that room would never make.


BUT, that doesn't take away from the fact that he hasn't said anything we haven't heard before. People greater than Jesse have been saying the same thing for over a hundred years and the same problems are still here. Hell, people on this forum have been spitting the same shyt and it goes largely ignored and called "militant". That's why I can't really fukk with y'all on this because alot of you are looking like hypocrites.

You'll praise Jesse for this and call people on this forum militant and everything else for starting threads with the exact same message. Yall are nothing but a bunch of uninformed hype beasts who lack historical perspective which is why you're so easily impressed with this speech.

Most of those celebrities could give two fukks about Jesse's speech and they could give even less fukks about everyday black folk like you and I. This speech does nothing but make people feel good. After the hashtags are done being made and there are no more retweets and followers to be gained, our plight in this country and world is still going to be here. And I doubt this speech will "inspire" anyone in this thread to do anything besides doing the shyt they been doing.

@cornercommission2k12 Brotha, Malcolm X wasn't bi-racial, his mother was. And his father was a full black man who was a Garveyite to his core. You should know this already.

Yes, because the shyt we talk in this forum has the platform to reach millions like Jesse. Shut the fukk up. Wrote all this and didn't really say shyt. fukking morons I swear

Harsh realities

Actual stupidity

THANK YOU! It seems to go over so many people's heads that for centuries white people have said that we would be nothing without them and yet, most Black people want to prove them right with putting mixed whites on pedestals. It irks me to have direct whiteness permeating Black achievements like a virus.....I really miss the 1970s and 80s when most of the Black faces you saw had no white shadows. No other group is so publicly plagued like this. Whites must laugh their asses off as their delusional sense of superiority is reinforced by having cultural half whites labeled as Black excellence. It's vile to have them so ingrained in our world.

Btw, Black women really need to stop embarrassing themselves by acting like this white woman's son is the second cumming because he is pandering to the Black female audience he needs to support his career. Everyone seems to know that many Black women are desperate for some positive reinforcements, therefore they can be played just by saying a few nice things that are just smoke and mirrors. It's practically a business model for start ups...pander to Black women, let them use their powerful dollars and influence to build your brand, mainstream then pay them dust.

I'm sure he's a nice person with good intentions, however, Black people don't need a blue eyed, half white savior leading us to the promise land.

All Black Americans that are descendants of the enslaved have white shadows following us. There were more mulattos, passing, lightskints etc in the 60s and 70s than now. Malcolm X was nicknamed Red at one point for his red hair, which was passed down from a white grandparent. I want to slap the everlasting dogshyt out of y'all. So militant you're fukking c00ns.

 

[Stacker Pentecost]

I agree.

If a full black man like myself who is the product of two black parents openely talked about how much of a plague "whiteness" is on the order of society I would be called "racist".

I remember last year when I was working with the southern poverty law center and were canvasing in Downtown Brooklyn near DUMBO.

This white woman walks up to me and says with a straight face "do you deal with racism against white people?"

In a nice, comforting, and honest tone, I say "well..."

And this woman walks the other direction and doesn't even look back at me. Didn't even let me talk.


White people don't want to hear the truth about themselves especially from a person they've been conditioned all of their lives to hate and see themselves as superior than.

Which is why it's important for people with privilege to use it
