Simmer down there, I never enter threads where this kind of topic is discussed.
Ok, good.
Simmer down there, I never enter threads where this kind of topic is discussed.
Are you accusing me of suppressing anyone's voice on here? Of any color or race whatsoever?This is critical race theory, @Raul. Catch up. It's not some elementary tutorial on Roberts Rules.
We're talking about political voice and representation. Who has the power of influence, inclusion, and on what grounds.
Black folks have historically had very limited political voice, so much so that we were not at liberty to represent ourselves, with our own opinions about our own matters. Self advocacy and even dissent were blocked.
so now, when Black folks get together and talk about Black shyt, it's fukking insulting when yet again non-blacks creep in and try to throw their weight around.
Like we can't have shyt, not even safe spaces where we value and affirm our own voices.
I told you earlier and i'll say it again, when Black folks are talking about Black shyt... you are NOT BLACK, SO fukk OFF.
Because we allow it. Why? Because we don't value blackness. Collectively, I mean.
Are you accusing me of suppressing anyone's voice on here? Of any color or race whatsoever?
Are you accusing me of claiming to speak for anyone but myself?
Because I'd like the receipts.
I'm free to opine as I see fit, and will continue to do so. There's no directives on my part here.
There are threads here every day dictating and criticizing what Muslims and Latinos must do about complicated violence, economic, and domestic issues abroad.
This hypocrisy should not be lost on certain members on the coli lamenting that somehow others are telling them what should be done about their communities.
Dominicans are black.
But perhaps if you focused on the content of comments and not where it came from you might actually learn something in life.
You're creating a false narrative.I am accusing you of treating Blackness as a thing for open consumption, and an area where you mistakenly feel entitled.
I'm telling you to have some fukking decency and not run your lip when Black folks are talking Black folks business.
I do not speak about Latino-ness, as an identity, because I don't have that lived experience. I recognize where my voice is and is not valuable. And this is basic instinct I believe many Black people have. But non-black people rarely seems to have it FOR Black people.
i challenged you on it and you use the same deflection that white men have always used to co-opt Black voice and representation - "it shouldn't matter who it's coming from".
Well it does matter, and it matters because of privilege.
Let me give you a simple example. When your family is discussing a family issue, it's intimate. Should a total stranger, a person who is not family and has never lived a moment as a family member, feel entitled to throw in their two cents - ESPECIALLY if they were not invited and cannot offer solutions????
Smarten up. It's ridiculous.
So you're black?
Dominicans are black.

Dominicans aren't blacku a dumbass for real. DR is the same island as Haitia hoq are they not black just cuz most of them are in denial don't mean shyt. Afro Latinos exist. Millions of blacks in countries like cuba, dr, pr, columbia, Brazil ect. )This is critical race theory, @Raul. Catch up. It's not some elementary tutorial on Roberts Rules.

Let's get to what really brought this thread up.
Muslims in France protested on behalf of a violated black man.
That I suggested in that thread that this is a step in the right direction has you up in arms. Frankly it's ridiculous of you.
But then you'd complain about how "no one cares about black issues"
The entire premise of this thread is stupid, should black people not speak on the radicalisation of white people then?
The only thing bad about non-blacks talking about black issues is that they can assert their OPINIONS to be FACTS and that is wrong. We live in an age where people believe their opinions are equivalent to actual 1st hand accounts and facts.
