If you haven't noticed, there have been a string of police murders against unarmed black people. And assaults against black people on all sides of the equation.
If you haven't noticed, since Obama's second term, race relations in America and around the world have gone south.
People accuse people like us of "fishing for daps and rep":...but that would be a disservice to those who have been mistreated, killed, in the past couple of years.
This thread is really a disservice to them as well...thinking that "we wake up bitter and angry and want to complain" without a reason...
You sound like them white people who cant realize, don't want to realize the racist reality of the world and it's microagression/macroagressions aganist black people, or do but play dumb anyway about black folk "playing victim".
As if we should stop thinking about this...and magically it will go away. Nope...that line of thinking has never worked...even though many say we should do this.

Because rather than actually discussing racism constructively and maturely, it usually devolves into a non-constructive hand-wringing echo chamber about how much said militants hate cacs/devils/inherently/white supremacy, and how if you disagree in any way you're labeled a c00n or a cac.
Because the people who don't agree are just as bad at this, if not worse.
Hell, I've even seen calm pro-black threads turn to shyt due to troll posts from (a lack of better words) cacs/c00ns.
Too many from both sides are clearly guilty of this.

I wasn't trying to talk about that everyday cause I thought it was more a "white" hip hop site and then the mike brown shyt happened and I lost it.
I saw that it was a more pro black site than other hip hop sites and joined in to talk about serious solutions. but most threads turn into much name calling without clean debates sometimes.
also like others have said it has been just a string of high profile attacks on blacks out of no where.
the militant shyt is from people who don't wanna face the truth of how amerikkka is against blacks. if me discussing the mistreatment of blacks is militant...then I guess ima have to be militant bruh.

Thanks breh...I appreciate it.Yep.
@*L*E*G*A*C*Y* keeps saying this and noone is listening to him. If the black people who have pride in themselves and care about how black people are being treated in society (because we are being treated like shyt) and want to get to know more about where they are from are 'black storm front' or 'militants' then whose side are you on ?!
If as a black person you look at the people who are fighting for your race to just be treated as a fukking human being with disdain and on someshyt then whose side are you on really ?!
It's like people are used to black people smiling and accepting everythng so long when they have the audacity to even speak against the majority they are met with disdain.
The sad thing is when it comes to most issues about racism, most people are oblivious to it and try to deny that it exists. With many white people, they look at the person on the receiving end of racism, and think "it's bad what happened to him, but it doesn't effect me so why should I care?" Same thing with many black people who ignore the issue of racism thinking that they will never end up in that situation of police brutality, unfairly judged due to their skin color, etc...

I feel ya. I can relate to this. I remember those days well...a part of me misses them...but I'm better off now mentally and physically because of what I've learned and what I've been through.I miss the good ol days when we talked about love and hip hop, tip drill and hawt blondz who like black guyz
All jokes aside though, there was a sweetness that came from living in ignorance that I miss. Once you wake up there's no turning back breh. I can never look at black social issues the same. I can never look at white people the same.
The days of watching justice league after school, laughing at racist jokes my white "friends" would say to the detriment of my people, staying up late for BET Uncut, thinking latinos were our brothers of the same struggle, and fantasizing about fukking Kimberly from power rangers and the sister sister twins are long gone brehs.
I still have fun. I still game, love anime, watch sports, hang out with the homies, enjoy family time, and continue to pursue my dreams of being a great novelist, but shyt is just different now breh. Heavy is the mind of a conscious brother.
I guess what I'm saying is, though I'd never go back, I kinda miss being that dumbass kid who trusted white people and jerked off to Dragon ball z hentai
I remember I was naive too...thinking that race didn't matter...was the token black guy...then around 2011 into 2012 I really started to become aware of race being in a predominantly white are still in college. I remember feelings of being depressed and paranoid. Hating myself somewhat...then I graduated and left Pittsburgh for New York and it changed me.
It wasn't until I came back to the coli from Sohh after not posting for ages that I really started to take in what people were saying and seeing those experiences people talked about in my own reality as a black person.
Life is different for me now. I'm out of college, been in the work force, and I'm 30 now. When I joined SOHH I was 22.
I guess this thread is indicative that some people don't want to grow up cause they're afraid.
I'm definitely better off knowing what I know...but yeah...you're right
*L*E*G*A*C*Y*
Done.
yea...everyone wakes up at different points in time.
I actually am ashamed of myself in earlier stages of my life...cause I definitely displayed behavior in my life that many could consider "c00nish".
I'll just say this and keep it short: I'd rather be apart of the solution than the problem. If that bothers people...maybe they need to look in the mirror and see that by doing so...they are the problem.

This is ignorant. And I say this as a child of black immigrants.Black immigrants and their children tend to betowards Black Americans. They think we're lazy and exaggerating about systematic racism or mock our history in this nation all the while reaping the benefits of it.
Stop painting us all with a broad brush.
I've been one of the few Africans/West Indians on this forum that have actually been saying we need to get rid of the tensions between AAs, Africans and West Indians and unify for the better sake of black people worldwide.
I'm trying to avoid attacking anybody in this thread, but statements like these are divisive.

the coli is silly but this shyt is nowhere NEAR black st0rmfr0nt

I've experienced the complete opposite. I'm a child of black immigrants. Growing up all of my friends were from various parts of the Caribbean. Last weekend me and 2 of my boys randomly got invited to an Ethiopian club by an Ethopian couple we met while out chilling.
I've had friends from Kenya, Nigeria (one of my best friends is Nigerian), Tanzania, and Ghana. Just met a girl a few weeks back from Uganda and she invited me, my girl, and a bunch of our friends to party with her.
And not a single time have I heard any of them talk reckless about black Americans. Matter fact my Nigerian friend was specifically asked by two black women if Nigerians look down on black Americans and he said "where did you hear that from"
I'm not doubting some immigrants have fukked up views of black Americans (same way we have fukked up views about them). But this idea that black Americans are hated by other blacks is bullshyt propaganda. Same propaganda that says black people are not welcome anywhere on planet earth.
It's been said numerous times in this thread. Once black people started talking about white people, all of these so called "black posters" started coming out the woodwork saying coli is the black st0rmfr0nt.
Which is interesting because I don't know a single black person who actually browses st0rmfr0nt like that to know what kinda threads is on there.
Makes you wonder don't it
Exacty bruh! Where do y'all think us Africans/West Indians in America get our swag from?
My G...I grew up stanning black American rappers and personalities...part me wishes I was a pure bred black American...but oh well...
