self hatred in the black community is crazy
My cousin once said he'll jump off the 3rd floor of his apartment just to get to his car faster to see some white girl he hasn't met in person yet 
I'm honestly gonna have to have a sit down with my whole family about this particular shyt. I can't front, I used to be just as stupid about some things but people openly shytting on black people has always gotten to me and I've never stood for it.
The odd thing about my family I don't understand is that my grandfather was a very outspoken man. Traditional patriarch and all that. My mom tells me stories about how she would get in trouble at school and he would go up there calling the teachers cacs but you know actually saying cracka. There must've been some sort of disconnect somewhere because the views some of my family have honestly surprise me. I have to check my mom on some things and then educate her on a few others.
Breh this man is older than me, he survived the war against Portugal AND the civil war (which was a direct result of colonization). He should know better than anyone else these devils aren't worthy of respect and shouldn't even be allowed to breathe.
And I don't know what he is, from my understanding people there don't even claim their ethnicity like this, they just they're Angolan and keep it moving.
Me too. For some reason that type of statement from Black women seems far, far worse to me than any of the other dumb shyt people say; because that goes right to Black people physical features and it is the ignorant mothers, grandmothers and aunts that set the tone early in life for their daughters to feel worthless and for the sons to not to want and value women that look like their mothers and sisters. That shyt is insidious and fukking diabolical; but most Black people never think about that it is their mothers, grandmothers and other female relatives who through ignorant chatter have impressed upon their young impressionable children minds that African hair is not good and therefore African women with that hair are not good.
Insidious.
adjective
1. Intended to entrap or beguile: an insidious plan.
2. stealthily treacherous or deceitful: an insidious enemy.
3. Operating or proceeding in an inconspicuous or seemingly harmless way but actually with grave effect: an insidious disease.
breh this sounds just like my mother's father...i dont know about the school part though
anyway I only spent up to a year with him when i was like 4 to 5 years old in jamaica but i learned alot even from that young age from his demeanor that he was not someone to fukk with
obviously i cant really remember him ever talking about race...but i cant put it into words but im sure you can get an idea a little bit what i mean when i say its something about their outspokenness and demeanor that tells you they are hard on cacs
maybe its too naive to say because he is a strong patriarch and man of the house and all of that stuff that he is automatically full of pride in his race but isnt that usually the case? but back to the story not sure about your grandmother but mine obviously listened to him and was for the most part a homemaker..
my mom and aunt love their father but frequently talked about how they felt "bad for mama" cause of how rough he was...but then it makes me shake my head because why cant you have that same sympathy for Black folks getting murked by the white folks you love so much
this goes back to disconnect your talking about...she never talks about it but my grandfather must have spoken about race with his children...so what in the hell happened to her?
lol i forgot to tell yall this gem...i mentioned this in a thread either last year or months ago weeks before raven symone had that whole "im not african american' moms told me the same thing(weeks before raven said it) ...obviously she is technically right cause she is a caribbean black...
but where she lost me was when she started complaining about how black americans call themselves african americans and used one of the idiotic analogies i ever heard in my life....
she said i quote "Do you see the Africans in Africa...call themselves African African"?
she then said when they are doing surveys or things of the sort for her daughter...who was born in America(my sister) she doesnt put african american but she puts Black...
now technically speaking that itself doesnt seem too bad especially since she is acknowleding she is black...but most of us would say it doesnt really matter...
but the way she worded it she made it seem like she just wants to not be associated with the word "Africa"...
i even said to her i bet you dont have an issue if a white person calls themselves "Italian American"...

I don't know about their life before I was around 10 but they seemed to be pretty equal in the relationship and had their troubles. But my grandma wasn't about that career homemaker life. She had a job and kept her house most of her life. Started out cleaning houses and shyt for white folk. She's currently
off that retirement money. Which is why some of the things she says surprises me sometimes. She's taken a lot from both sides. She used to tell us how she would get made fun of for being lightskin and how the white people whose houses she'd clean would treat them. If you're telling your grandkids in the 90s about racial things that happened in the 40s and 50s, that's some shyt that affected you.My granddad was all of 5'5 and was quick to fight anybody whom he felt wronged him or his. I rarely saw this side of him though because as I knew him he was kinda the best guy to be around if you were one of his grandchildren. Stern but loving. Most of what I have to go on is stories about how not a fan of white people he was.
About your last point. I have my own problems with African-American, Black and all those labels just because I've felt like they were assigned to us. Every 30 or so years we get a new term to be called. I don't mind at all being associated with Africa I would just rather the black community themselves come to a consensus on the whole thing. While I was plotting out ideas for a book I took is so far to brainstorm a few of those names and have them written down somewhere. While watching Boardwalk Empire the character of Narcisse refers to black folk as Libyans which I loved for the reasons I stated. If she's coming at it from that angle then I could see her beef, otherwise, idk.
^About your last point trust me I feel you and i dont have beef with it. Its a valid point. Its just that coming from her its with wrong intentions and I dont think she is thinking that deep about it.
its funny though cause she mentioned the same thing about how every 30 years we get a new term to be called and brought up jesse jackson being the one to start the term(african american)
If it was someone else with a history of being pro Black and having pride i would listen to the point...but she just doesnt wanna be associated with africa...
and she is always shytting on the country saying shyt like "you look like you just came off the boat from africa" to my sister whenever she "thinks" her appearance is not on point or if she is barefoot "why you barefoot like an african"

My nephew had a real pretty Black GF that he dumped for some obese white girl. I asked him what happened, he said the 'Black women have too much attitude and aren't feminine and Shirley is a 'real' woman'
It's a real shame that there are so many people in OUR communities who associate Black with negativity.My cousin said "the darker the women, the worst the attitude"
A coworker said she hated her neighborhood because too many black people were there. She said she feels comfortable around whites. I told her my neighborhood is all black and is very safe. I stopped fukking with her after that.
