Pharrell's Views On Race Sends Twitter Into An Uproar

[Insensitive]

That's funny because Im in asia dealing in Sino-African trading. I'm half african. Africans have it real bad, in some places they dont even have running water or wheelchairs.

Good for you tho. I applaud, altho I dont know how you were capable of putting a house up AND helping a grandmother with their house. You must be really doing well financially, doesn't sound like something a black man could do, you know since being black equates to hardship and being broke.

"Half African".
I recall you saying your weren't "mixed". Just want to say being an "African" is
like being an "American" there is no set color, I say this because Africa is a continent.

 

[Easy-E]

The ole yeah he rich so of course he out of touch garbage. Using that logic only reason you think the way you do is because your money lacking is that true?

Unfortunately, socieconomic status is a huge part of the American experience. "garbage"??? How so, because you can come up with a rebuttal?

No because it is period. Its a lazy excuse because the lazy thing as I asked someone else is that all y'all on the opposite are saying such because your broke. That's lazy IMO. I've said it before if most people socioeconomic status isn't where it needs to be that's on them. People all of a sudden when it comes to blacks its about us collectively no it isn't. Its about us as individuals first and those who have similar views link up just like in many other facets of life. We can disagree on that but that's just how I feel and was raised regarding not letting circumstances gender my development. It worked for people around me and even others I didn't know until later so that's how I roll and you roll how you do and whatever happens.

This just adds more fuel to my theory that mulattoes are the original c00ns. Sorry if that offends, but history has consistently proven this to be true.

I will not marry a woman that does not consider herself black. That includes these women out here that say they are part this or that. Its sign that they are ready to betray there people at a moments notice when its convenient for them because its about get even harder for black folk after Obama is done. People know in their subconscious that being anything other than black is better than being black. That is why its such a growing trend among our people. How many black men or women married to non-blacks are really going to be committed to the black struggle? Very few because many don't want to offend their spouses or their mixed children or in-laws. Malcolm was a quarter white and rejected it...therefore he was righteous before his people. That is why we need to stop accepting mulattoes as black until they prove where they stand like Malcolm did. As it is already, we can't trust a lot of full black people, how much more a mulatto.

 

[Black Magisterialness]

Pharell also has the wealth and prestige to be post racial. The ability to be seen as colorless is something that is only afforded to visionaries of our time. The average black man isn't given the benefit of the doubt enough to be anything but black. No matter what realm of progression you go into besides sports and entertainment, you will always be looked at as an outsider unless the population in power changes or the field you are in is already dominated by your ethnic group.

"just doing you" is great advice, but as someone said, alot of good "doing you" is gonna do when you are "randomly selected" at the airport. Or pulled over in an affluent area for no real reason, or judged by people before you even open your mouth.

 

[AITheAnswerAI]

If you're a simpleton who's unaware of all the subtle ways you're treated and watched because you're black, then you're stupid and probably prone to say all this "but but it's 2014 blah blah blah" dumb nikka shyt.

I can't even walk down the street without non blacks tensing up, moving their bags to the side i'm not walking on, or even crossing the street to avoid me. As for you apologetic c00ns, no I don't dress like a damn thug, I have a professional job and i'm usually in business casual. But this mental conditioning that these non blacks have been indoctrinated with has convinced them that i'm going to attack and rob them, when 90% of black crime is black on black crime, and I bet you 95% of the people who act this way have never been attacked or robbed by a black person before.

I see how people are wary of me, keep tabs on me, and how their body language changes around me. shyt back in high school I knew this group of white girls who used to to go the mall and steal all kinds of shyt because they had their black friends walk around as a decoy, and the cameras and store employees were all focused on those black kids while them white girls cleaned up. They used to cop hundreds of dollars worth of shyt on the regular.

If you sell yourself out, then it becomes easy to sell out your own people.

I think what you're missing here is not everyone has that chance and being
a hard worker does not exactly translate to being wealthy.
There are kids born into families with a great amount of wealth amassed while blacks weren't even allowed to vote
at the same time there are diligent hardworking black upstanding black citizens who barely make a livable wage.
You're also forgetting that the vast majority of people who are born in a particular tax bracket DO NOT make it out of it.
What you're saying doesn't necessarily equate to the reality of someone whose family has yet to send
someone off to college.
What you feel doesn't necessarily translate to the reality that some children are faced with inadequate teachers,
who're given inadequate teaching resources and students who struggle to succeed only to deal with being labeled as
lazy, ignorant's with no aspirations in life.
Your opinions can't deal with the facts of being poor and it's correlation to school success rates and economic mobility.
I'm one inclined to believe in working hard and doing what you can to achieve your goals but
I'm also not fool enough to believe in the decidedly simplistic view of the world that comes with
talk of "bootstraps".

Im talking about my nationality.

"I'm half african"
This is like saying "I'm half british".

Matter of fact this is the first time
I've seen..this...ever
