For a sub forum with such a young demographic, this place is filled with alot of self loathing black people. It's like some of these dudes were born under Jim Crow.
We all joke about race and i have made some
comments in jest, but it just seems that racial insecurities seem to drive alot of threads in this place. I spend most of my time in the Coli or HL, but lately i have had a lot of free time at work and I have been spending time in TLR. I noticed a trend in this sub forum. It usually manifests itself in certain thread themes:
1. Worship of white women - Some of ya'll act like white women are some sort of pristine, alien race, demi-goddess that can do no wrong and are worthy of worship. When the truth is if you spend time around enough white women, you will understand that bell curve of ratchet behavior is similar across all races. Just look at the divorce rate for white women.
2. Bashing of Black Women - I understand the age old game of battle of the sexes and sometimes it makes for some funny threads. But TLR take it too far in their bashing of black women. I wonder how many Country music sites are bashing white women and worshiping black women.
3. Guilty By Association - Some of you feel the need to post about the so-called ratchet behavior of other black people in public and how it embarrassed you and your hope that white people watching don't lump you in with "those" black people. The fact is you are already lumped into that category.
4. Skin Complexion Wars - Both Sides are insecure about their complexion and so they take it out on people with different complexions. I thought this died in the 80s.
