Self-hating minorities who take their feelings of inferiority out on blacks?

[Suicide King]

i don't have a problem with race neutrality. i do have an issue with suggesting that it's ok for blacks to emulate white people in lieu of emulating successful blacks.

What can't they do both?

A learned man takes lessons from all, including the dead and the living.

No one should limit themselves.

Can I get an example of a successful black person keeping it 100?
...

success is subjective, so use your definition. I'm not looking to agree or disagree, just want an idea of we are talking about in terms of "black success"

Actually, there are currently more black people on welfare than white folks.

.

You make the same mistake everyone makes. 46 million people on food stamps, there are not that many black folks in America.

Also, Welfare is cash and medical benefits. Eligibility is very limited to women and children.

Whereas food stamp doesn't discriminate against young or old.

Yet we are the second largest recipients of welfare and food stamps.

And even if we weren't, our issues are alot deeper than just welfare and food stamps.

Let that marinate.

What is there to marinate, numbers don't lie. There are not even 46 million blacks in America. I feel insulted you want me to respect your insight.

Doesn't matter, both groups are almost neck & neck in that regard. but there are underlining issues which delve deeper than just "stats".

We are living in a society which is much more tolerant and lenient towards white males than black people as a whole.

And trust me, I'm not one of these "Black power, the white man is the devil" types.

But facts are facts.

I know we have a ton of bad apples which effect other's perception of us., but most people neglect to correlate the condition that creates bad apples with the archaic system which has created the condition.

For example, poor white males still feel more privileged than poor black people despite sharing the same hardships. It's why they'll come out in droves to support a Republican candidate in a red state, despite not recieving any compensation for their loyality afterward.

But best believe if one of them were to come up and aquire a brand new 2013 something, they're not getting stopped.

Sure, we currently have many brothers and sisters who have beaten the odds and gotten very far in this nation. We have black millionaires, black entrepreneurs, etc... but we're still amongst the most belittled and demonized groups.


Just some food for thought. White people have a variety of stereotypes when it comes to marketing. Everything from hipsters, to surfers, to skaters, to preppy people and so on.

But let them market something to us and it's almost automatically on some extra, shaniqua & danell mmmm hmmmmm gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrl, boi stop! minstrel show c00nery.

How many commericals have you seen of white people looking very regular and family oriented? Even when it's fast food related?

Now contrast that with the "urban" version of those same commericals. It's either that or something sports oriented. Couple years back they had a black chick in a nationwide Popeyes commerical c00ning it up, and we accepted it cause we've been conditioned to believe that, well... "That's how we are"

It's subtle things like that which paint a broader picture once you read between the lines.

A long post to simply say 'perception is everything these days'...

I think alot of times us as black people don't realize that its not just white people , but over 600 years of media slanting and brainwashing that we as a race are overcoming. Take this dude fore instance he grew up on the hawiian islands and in the south pacific, his only experiences with blacks until his adult life were framed in the media and through images that lets be honest painted us as soulless criminals. Dude had his mind made up about black folks long before he ever met one.


Thats the demonic part about it.

True. First time I went to India in 98 this guy who lived next to my aunt straight up asked me if "all negroes were criminals" shyt caught me way off guard.

I can't speak for other minorities but with Indians its more culture than race. A black millionaire entertainer or athlete would be looked upon as lower than a black teacher (guru) making 40k a year.

When Obama visited India for the first time during his presidency it was pandemonium. People were trampling over each other just get a glimpse of him.

Also another thing I noticed in India - American blacks are referred to as "negroes." Black people from Africa are referred to as "Africans." What's in a name? A whole lot, apparently.

And yet, we are the group per capita who recieves the most welfare.

Lol is that still not registering with you?

There are more white people OFF welfare than black people.

Are you getting it now?

People honestly believe there isn't an archaic system which places caucasians higher up than every other minority group in this country.

Again, I don't think it's registering with many of you. We are minorities in this country. There is a pecking order here. We are generally on the lower end of it. Racism is not dead by a long stretch, and it's unfortunate.

I feel like I'm being trolled.
