Some of y'all really need to get some black friends. I mean to all of us it's obvious y'all are NEVER around black folks.
honeslty as much as i would like to aggree with you...
I cant..
Nikkas always ready to pop off
and i was raised in a somewhat affluent neighborhood, its pretty much what we are projected on media and or subconsciously believe we should do
that boondocks nikka moment episode is horrifyingly accurate
than again thats just my personal experience

It sucks, but you have folks with no humanity. You can see in their eyes they are cold and savage. We call these people dangerous.
Can't really group these people with kind loving black folks.

I'll never excuse gangbangers and single mothers, but this is some shortsighted logic. Blacks have had stereotypes on them since they came here.
last spring there was a huge ass fight after a "90s party"...nothin but black folks involved
Black people should completely avoid each other unless they're coming together to do something constructive.
Edit: gotta add the "white people do it too" for whatever reason people like to say it in threads critiquing Black behaviors.
You make it sound like Black people are inherently violent or something. My family get together's and cookouts go on just fine. If your family can't get together and have a good time without violence then your family ain't shyt.
I guess its just me that goes out and shyt never pops off
There's at least 2 of us.
Might as well. There are really dudes in here talking about "self-hatred" while simultaneously lamenting about how the race they belong to are savage animals. Without a shed of irony.
This shyt is very frustrating.
Apparently Black people are inherently violent people who can't come together without mayhem. If you truly believe that, then what's the point of being "pro-Black" or a "Black nationalist" or fighting White supremacy? The racists are right according to some of you. We lose and they win. We might as well start tap dancing for nickels.
Black people can party and bullshyt just fine without people getting killed. Certain Black people can/will not. The reason those certain Black people can't/won't is because of institutionalized racist practices on the federal, state, and local levels. Do you think most violent Blacks would be the way they are if they came from good homes and received good education? And had decent local employment opportunities? No they would not.
I touched on this in my last thread. http://www.thecoli.com/threads/i-fe...arent-criticized-enough.321792/#post-13555149
Constantly talking about how "nikkas ain't shyt" affects young Black minds. The same Black people involved in the type of violence some of you are referring to probably has it ingrained in their psyche that they ain't shyt, so they don't act like shyt.

Black people aren't inherently violent but we are very violent as a group in America especially towards each other, see intraracial crime rates.
Minimize contact, minimize conflict.

And I'm telling you that not all Black people are like that. Me having to explain this to a "Pro-Black" person is baffling. Do you really not know why the intraracial crime stats are the way they are? Do you really think the Black people out here killing each other over foolishness will heed your terrible advice?
Your suggestion is to isolate ourselves from each other except "to do something constructive" That's a band-aid not a long term solution. Because there is no way in hell Black people are gonna stop kicking it and having a good time on anyone's suggestion. How bout we worry about fixing the circumstances that create Black people who will kill you just to prove a meaningless point. Totally unrealistic and unreasonable. Unbelievably naive is your suggestion. So stop suggesting it.
Why fight for people that you strictly have a professional relationship with anyway? How we gone love each other if we don't bond? Do you love your boss?

We've been "Kicking it and having a good time" to our detriment for far too long, look what it's gotten us, absolutely nothing, in my opinion, fun and a good time should be the last thing on our minds especially when "fun" and a "good time" includes "jokingly" disparaging one another, drinking intoxicating beverages and killing ourselves with "soul foods"
Fixing the circumstances that create Black people who kill each other is a constructive activity that Black people should come together for, having drinks at a bar or night club is not.
Black people don't need to partake in dysfunctional activities for the sake of bonding, Black people hang out more than anyone else and "love" is still missing from the equation.
Black people should avoid each other unless they're coming together to do something constructive, and Black people can have an enjoyable time doing that without alcoholic beverages, drugs or "jokingly" insulting each other.

Beg my pardon to Martin...
I think its a combination of low self worth/esteem. Alot of times they (ladies and gents that are prone to violence) dont value themselves enough to not worry about the next man

Yet, when a rapper raps about killing and stealing you say it's not a detriment.
Yet you be up in the booth playing around stanning Young Thug.
What is discussing hip-hop going to do? Yet you be up all night on tiny chat
Black people can, have and will. You sound like the White supremacist you claim to hate so much. You're Black right? Are you saying you got have a good time around your people without succumbing to "ignorant" urges? Let me guess....no because you're so much better than the rest of us huh?
Who said it'd have to be dysfunctional? Is a family BBQ dysfunctional? Is a date to the movies dysfunctional? Is a trip to the bowling alley dysfunctional?
You don't have to have smoke or drink to have a good time. Nor eat soulfood. Why do you so strongly believe Black people can't do something that many of us do every day?

false, there's actually a thread recently made about how @PhonZhi, myself and others "blame hip hop" for the condition of the Black community.

Young Thug is an amazing artist and I enjoy the genius of his artistry, that doesn't change the fact the some of the content of his music is a "detriment". We discuss hip-hop here because this happens to be a hip-hop forum, what discussion does is provoke thought and enlighten people.

I'm not up all night on tiny chat (unfortunately), I consider many of the people who frequent the coli's Tinychat as family and friends, and I miss having awesome discussions with them.
I actually avoid coming into contact with Black people (including family) unless it's to do something constructive, the last time I was around my family was a few days ago when I was getting fitted for a tux for my cousin's wedding, otherwise I wouldn't have been around at all. I'm not interested in kicking back and saying whatever comes to mind unless it's online where the potential for real world damage is minimal.[/QUOTE]
The BBQ itself or any other event isn't necessarily dysfunctional, but the participants and the activities they partake in, might be. Getting drunk at a BBQ is non-constructive, it doesn't necessarily mean that something will pop off because people are getting drunk but it does mean the odds are increased. Black people "jokingly" do a lot of name calling and saying disparaging things to each other under the guise of "just playing" and it's extremely harmful, there's nothing positive about it and it doesn't create an atmosphere that fosters genuine bonding or "love".
I don't strongly believe that Black people "can't" do something that they're clearly capable of doing, what I do strongly believe is that Black people should avoid each other unless coming together to do something constructive, if you minimize contact, you dramatically reduce the probability of there being any conflict, in my experience, Black people don't like to resolve their problems with their words once arguments or conflict begins, and it can quickly lead to violence, something we as a group should avoid at all costs, including but not limited to staying the fukk away from each other unless you're doing something of constructive value, hanging out with friends with nothing planned is non-constructive and it many circumstances can lead to a non-constructive outcome.
