These Color Struck Dominicans Are An Embarrassment

[Momentum]

I love it that Caribbeans don't identify as black.

Black Americans are the GOAT gene pool, and the world knows it.

You obviously don't understand the white supremacist structure the WORLD is under. Yeah, people of all class have issues, BUT the black and brown man feels the institutionalized racism.

Who are the most people in prisons, yet whites use most of the drugs? Black, and brown.

Who are the people who have to go through thick bullshyt to find out their history?. Black, and brown.

Who are the people who get tested on with drugs, and to see how certain politics will work? Black, and brown.

Who are the people who got tricked the most with the subprime mortgage trickery? Black, and Brown


Who are the people who are getting shytted on by all the classes of white, in general, in countries that claim they are not like the U.S.A.? Black, and Brown

I could go on, and on. You seem to think the racist structure that we live in is just about a few on top, hurting everyone else, when that is just a part of it. The other part is using a certain group to maintain the money flowing, and that group is black, and brown. Unless you know what it feels like to hope you don't have to go through some shyt with the police, and you are in prison just for being black/brown, you would never understand racism. You would never understand racism if you don't know what it feels like to look at tv, and NO ONE looks like you who is the shyt, unless it's on a black show. A black woman can't show her ass without it being censored, yet a white girl can, and the excuse is a black woman's body is very sexual. Or a rapper is constantly scrutinized for his lyrics about weed, yet a rocker can make a song saying "I love the cocaine, I love the cocaine", and nothing gets censored. You would never understand racism if you don't know what it feels like to be walking in a nice store, and have someone watching your every move because they think you are up to something, and they feel the need to be a moral authority. You would never understand racism, if you don't know what it feels like to see people shot by police or other white males, and NO outrage comes from other groups, in fact they always act like the person did something wrong, and deserves it. Look at Trayvon Martin. They even try to find a reason for his killing from his PAST.

Until people learn this racist structure we live in, and how it works, we would never change anything. I understand why a lot of white people don't want change because that means their lives would change, and they get no benefit that they have now, but they should at least accept that their skin protects them from a lot of shyt we as the colored people of the world go through due to that same system. Open your eyes my friend, and accept reality. White Supremacy is REAL.

Taken my point out of context a bit there, of course white supremacy is real - we see and feel it our whole lives. I was only challenging your point about the whites in power uniting all whites together, it's a whole heap of shyt.

Since when??

 

[King Sun]

Since when??

this is true. Most people associate "black" with african americans. Hell I wish I can find this segment I saw on tv a few years back about this older black female took the dive and went back to africa to live and the natives shytted on her because she wasn't a native african.

 

[Killer Instinct]

it is pathetic, but whats worse is african americans HERE who are basically doing the samething..at least to a degree..weaves,perms,nose jobs,micheal jackson,etc..

How so? MJ never denied his black heritage and as far as his skin the autopsy revealed he did indeed suffer from vitiligo.

Maybe in America but in the English Speaking C'beans the ppl of African decent identify as black.

i find it EXTREMLY hard to believe this is a common thing(the way u and newark make it sound like)

im african, have lived all my life around africans, haitians and jamaicains and ive never come accross someone from either of those cultures tryin to say theyre not black.

black is a universal term for ppl of african heritage(darker skin, nappy hair etc.)

i mean obviously we all have pride for whereever we are from, but being black goes hand-in-hand with it.

im seriously shocked by wut u guys r sayin. could u guys point me to one person that feels that way plz? a video, a tweet, fb post anything.

i mean if u guys are saying it there must some truth to it and im rdy to believe theres some of em out there(very little tho ) that dont like to refer to themselves as black but i cant see it being an even somewhat popular way of thinking.

never said they denied there black, what I said is that there is plenty that don't like to be refered to as African American , again I have heard it tons in real life and at least three non trolling posters in this thread

 

[blvckbieber]

thats not wut u said nikka u said they didnt like to be refered as black.

"most non-american Africans want nothing to do with being associated as "black" try telling a Jamaican he black or even a Haitian he black, they will say NO they are Jamaican and Haitian, why do you think that is? **** i have even know African, Ghanaians and Nigerians who will say with a quickness they are not BLACK they are Africans."

@newarkhiphop

if u were to quote my whole post or the next one i believe i explained that the reason for this was that to them being called "black" in THIS country is the same thing as being called African American , and they don't want that associations, reasons being i explained in my other post too

 

[Will2x]

So much for Pan-Africanism..

Black is the same thing as African American?

Are they really that stupid to believe that?

 

[Lewis Black]

That's actually not true.

breh im reading this thread with the face, Caribbean people don't call themselves black...... people just making stuff up now lol.

 

[ogc163]

Many non AA Black folks dislike being called "Black" because in their minds "Black" in America = African-American, they will still call themselves Black when around their own folks or when they go back home so it has more to do with distancing themselves from African-Americans than it does self-hatred...although there are exceptions (as is often the case with Dominicans) Personally I just say "I'm Black" and if people want to inquire further I tell them my parents are from Guatemala, I can't get down with the whole afro-latino, Black-hispanic, and all the other hyphenated terms.
