Do black men want black women to be single???

Most black women who date interracially probably already know of this hypocrisy. You know, where black men moan and groan about black women dating white men while he himself is in it with a white chick.

I noticed there are 2 main types of black men who usually get their undies in a bunch over black women in love with non-black men.

1. type one is what I mentioned above. The hypocrite.

2. type two is the gangsta aka the black equivalent to a redneck.

In my opinion, I am all for interracial relationships but only if they are grounded in reality. I get sickened when I hear the white girl or white guy proclaim the line (or damn near similar to it) "our love is all that matters" and I can't help but shake my head when I hear it from a black perosn who should know better.

Being in love isn't the problem. Love isn't strong enough to deal with all the problems you will encounter. Lines like "why is this crap happening in 2010" is not going to change the fact that racists still exist and still cause problems.

There is a reason many interracial relationships fail. Its because neither person really looked at everything realistically and thus were no prepared for the racism. Such as when the black person would need to vent about the racism they deal with. Or when the child is teased. Or when both sides grumble about being race traitors and what not.

But back to the title of the post. Statisically, black women are less likely to get married these days. Mostly its because black women do not want to settle for gangstas, and white men rarely date black women. And black men, those worthy enough often date white women.

So in the very rare chance a black woman find a guy, who just so happens to be non-black, why the fuss black men? You don't own her. You haven't been there helping her. Whenever people talk about police brutality, all of you fail to mention all the black women beaten or killed at the hands of the gestapo.

All you black men do is just insult black women and stereotype them.

If you aren't going to have class, then don't complain when she passes you over.

Racism is white peoples' identity

Lets face it, whites want to keep racism alive not just because they benefit from it financially but because its their identity.

These people consider it racist to have be considered equal to everyone.

They consider it racist to teach about other races' history and contributions.

White people don't know how to not be racist. Its their identity.

If you look at comments pertaining to race, it is very clear a good majority still haven't gotten out of Jim Crow and still support racism. They will do anything possible to excuse and justify their racism. They will do anything possible to tell a black person what they aren't dealing with is racism.

God forbid they would have to change for the better by getting rid of their racism.

White people can't be helped....there is no hope for them.

Ew Eddie, why???

Out of what feels like pure torture, my mom made me watch The Young and the Restless a few days ago...and I saw the dude from Family Matters on there.

I mean, I don't care for Family Matters, and I don't care for the character Eddie (I don't remember the actor's name) but I can't believe he went from sitcom to a lame ass soap.

Whats worse is that he apparently replaced this really hot dude who now has a role on Criminal Minds.

What I find funny is that it was like a Vivien Banks color reversal. In the case of The Young and the Restless, it went from a light skinned character to a dark skinned. Same character though.

I imagine it was because there were too many light skinned blacks on the show probably...cause the scene I saw him in had this other dude and this young dude both light skinned...

But why any self-respecting person would want to be on a soap opera is beyond me. Hopefully within 5 years soaps will be history.

Jodie Landon...I know all too well.

I love the show Daria. It just came out on DVD a little over a week ago. I finally own the show (they don't air it on tv at all).

I can relate to Daria in the sense that I am misanthropic, cynical, and have low expectations for just about everyone. I am also realistic just like Daria.

But there is another character I strongly relate to...Jodie Landon.

She is one of the few black students at the school. One thing I like about her is that she isn't the stereotype. Her black boyfriend is like the only smart guy on the football team and like the rationality to the irrationality that is dumb jock Kevin.

Jodie is smart, an over achiever, and a go-getter. She is also a people pleaser. In one episode I just watched called "Gifted" she and Daria talk about their "process". Jodie explains that at home she is just Jodie but because of the lack of diversity in Lawndale she feels she has been burdened with the responsibility of being the representative for black people.

This is basically the explanation as to why she is a perfectionist. She wants people to have a positive image of blacks. We all know how doing the slightest wrong thing can make a white person see all black people in a bad light. I have been the representative at times too and its stressful.

Jodie's character also highlights the annoyance of being a token and how it is racist itself. She and Mack are always chosen as homecoming king and queen. They know its because the town wants to "pride" itself on diversity even though it sorely lacks diversity.

That scene also takes note in how Jodie (and Mack) also do what many of us blacks do sometimes...and that is shirk the principles for the gains. In that case, it would look good on their college applications.

There is another example of this in Partner Complaints where a racist banker refuses to Jodie a loan or to even have her dad cosign but will let Daria. But when he finds out who Jodie's dad is, he starts kissing up. So on principle she leaves. But at the next banker she immediately name drops. This angers Daria, a strong principles person.

It was understandable as to why Jodie name dropped with the second banker. She didn't want to reward the first one, and at the same time, the race fight gets tiresome. She wanted to prevent the possibility of a repeat from happening.

Also, her method ensured they got their assignment done, which was to secure a loan.

Basically, Jodie is about dropping her principles for the greater good of winning or succeeding. I can relate to that myself. You got people like Daria who prefer the right thing over smart thing and people like Jodie who prefer the smart thing over the right thing but who hopes there is a case where they are both.

There was another episode, Mall of the Millenium, where she criticized the executives for using her and the other students as "research" and when the executives decided to give everyone a $20 coupon to be quiet, she shirked away her principles, in fact everyone but Daria did.

Speaking of the "No Snitchin" campaign...

So knowing my views on the police...why am I against the "No Snitchin" campaign you ask?

I probably did a post on this already but never hurts to repeat one's self.

I am against it because its very premise is to basically refrain from giving valuable information on the baddies so they can be arrested.

As racist and corruptive as the police are, at the same time I don't want criminals on the loose because of some point that obviously isn't getting across.

No snitchin is only hurting us more. I mean lets face it, the police don't care about us. They just care only when whites become the victim.

But whats sad is when people do tell the police and the police ignore it, such cases like Anthony Sowell.

Those kind of incidents only cause more people to support the "no snitchin" campaign...their rationale being: why should we tell you considering when we do you don't listen anyways!

I undestand and support the message blacks have to say about blacks and the system(police, courts)...but I don't support the methods about trying to get the message across. They aren't getting the message and our own people are suffering from "no snitchin".

The Gestapo strike again!

RIP Aiyana Jones.

As usual white people are hailing the murderous cop as a hero for once again killing an innocent black.

So what was this little girl's crime? She was living in an apartment where the real culprit lived just above.

Because the police decided not to get their information together and actually think their strategy through, an innocent child was murdered by the police.

Its as if criminals aren't the only people we have to worry about being on the loose killing innocent people...it seems the police are doing a good job of that themselves.

But the public want to blame it on the family and have been justifying her death, excusing the murderous cops and basically toss this girl's life into the trashcan as if it meant nothing.

I hate how the police have a license to kill whomever they want whenever they want. They don't have to ask questions, they don't have to have all their facts together. You don't even have to be a threat...as long as you are black, you are allowed to be killed for just being black.

One idiot who called the police "heroes" said that its the family's fault for not knowing their neighbors. Need I remind people of Dymond Millburn? The little girl who was beaten by police, and it turned out the police (who were dressed undercover) had the wrong address. Not to mention their suspects were white....how does on mix up the colors white and black?

In the end, for blacks it doesn't matter where you live...it doesn't matter the color or age or gender of the suspects...just being black is "suspicion" enough for them to arrest you, beat you, or worse, murder you.

The police department where I live is currently in hot water for murdering a white guy...the fact that they rough-handled a white guy makes you wonder what they would do to a black person.

Its become tradition among blacks to tell of stories of dealing with racist cops. I remember when I had to deal with an officer once and as I left, he decided to say "you can always come to us if you need it" I rolled my eyes, gave a snort and turned away only for him to decide to talk down to me for it. Even then at 16 I knew one couldn't trust the police. I figured out even though I was raised in a white family.

I mean, I am against the "no snitchn" campaign and all and do believe one should go to the police if something happened to you mostly for legalistic reasons even though there does seem to be a consensus among many that the police never seem to show up until after the crime has been committed.

I know some want to argue that there are "good cops". My question is why don't they ever take a stand and condemn the bad cops rather than excuse them or justify their actions? In fact, the ones that do that hardly seem like good cops.

Arizona's law: The start of the Holocaust???

Its hard to decide on that one honestly. I have always said America is a candidate for being the next location for the holocaust. Americans hate its' minority population with a fiery passion.



On one hand, one side can argue that ID carrying to prove citizenship is similar to what the Jews had to go through.



But on another hand, one can argue, if they don't start working on the immigration problem and find a realistic and viable solution now, then it really will become a Holocaust because when Americans start really suffering from the lack of immigration enforcement, they will be beyond tired of hearing political speeches about reform and may actually take action themselves or cause some kind of action that would be worse than what Arizona passed.



So its a tricky question. All I know is that if you are going to criticize this solution made by the retard republicans of Arizona, then you at least need to find a solution that is better to offer the table. Cause doing something is better than nothing...most of the time.


I mean I am anti-Arizona...not because of the immigration laws but because of their racism towards history classes.

The news media hurts us minorities more sometimes...

Whenever the media reports on minorities and the racism they are dealing with, they sensationalize it so much and leave out facts and are so desparate to get white readers that they make the victim (the minority) look like the perp.

If they aren't busy creating stereotypes about blacks, then they are usually trying to win whites over by making whites look like victims by making the real victim which is a minority look like they somehow did wrong.

The media is not helping out blacks at all. They are throwing us under to help white people feel superior...big suprise.

A minority in Europe=not safe. Why I don't like Europe.

I have no interest in ever going to Europe, for starters, I don't want to be on a plane for that long and secondly, it is a dangerous place for minorities.

UK has a vendetta against Indians, Africans, and Asians kinda in the same way America is having problems with the Hispanic population...only worse.

BNP has some considerable power there.

Even the more liberal newsite in the UK, The Guardian, is racist. Its not nearly has hateful and cruel as sites such as The Telegraph, Daily Mail, and much more, but its up there. Its like USA Today and The New York Times...claims to be "liberal" but is racist and caters to the racists.

In France, they just banned the burqa and niqab. In countries like Spain, Italy, and France, there have been several race issues going on with whites attacking minorities. I guess they are following Russia's lead.

Also, its not safe being an American in Europe on top of that. Of course, I am sure people would assume I am African (although I am not as dark as them so who knows what they would actually think), but if they heard me talk, they'd figure out I am American. At that point its going to go one of 2 ways: they are going to suck up for the "tourist money" or they are going to slap me with American stereotypes of being "boorish, uneducated, etc" (which I would imagine is a white thing more than it is a black thing).

So I have the danger of being Black and American in a country that despises both greatly.

That is why you wouldn't catch me going there unless I had no other choice.

Also from what I have heard racism there is slightly different than here...its crueler and more deceptive and in your face.

That is a reason on its own for not going to Europe. At least I know America's racism. As dangerous as it is to me, I know very little about the racism of Europe which just increases the dangers there as a minority.

Europe was the site of Jews being slaughtered....and those Jews were white!! Just think of the cruel inhumanity they would do to those of color over there...I'll give you a hint, it would be something straight out of Russia.

America and Europe are dangerous places for minorities....but one will always be more dangerous based on where you live. To a minority in Britain they may see America as dangerous...and they're right. It is a dangerous place. So is all of Europe.

I hate white people

I hate them. I don't want them as friends and you would never catch me dating them. I will never trust a white person for as long as I have to live.

The return of Jim Crow and the impending race war

I truly do believe we are returning to Jim Crow, maybe in a more covert way but I do believe we are returning. Remember there was a brief period after the end of slavery and before Jim Crow began were there was some progression for blacks. Before the South got its power back.

I would never ever put it past white people to return to something like Jim Crow. I mean there was a facebook group about the Arizona immigration bill that claimed they were not a racist group but they were. It was all about the "poor white person". Now Arizona plans to ban ethnic studies to further encourage discrimination.

I would never put it past whites. That is why I fear Republicans getting power. They are the party for white supremacy they support racism against blacks they want to destroy us in every way possible.

I truly do believe a race war will happen. If terrorists want to bomb America and all then fine, just fucking leave us black people out of it. Your problem is with white people. They are the ones that fucked you guys. We are just victims of white people ourselves.

I already know America is going to fall...probably as a result of the race war that is going to happen. But blacks remember...do not underestimate whites. If they are capable of passing an immigration bill directed at hispanics, just think of all the plethora of things they can pass that will hurt us black people.

The supreme court is not on our side. There isn't a black person on there (thomas is not black he is just another white wannabe). 5 conservatives who support racism against blacks. They don't care about the law or constitution one bit.

America was built on racism and will die because of racism. And it is all white peoples fault.

Jim Crow forgotten

Often whites can only seem to remember that slavery happened. They just love to use excuses like "slavery ended 150 years ago" or "I never owned slaves". But what about Jim Crow? That lasted for nearly 100 years and was just as bad if not worse in some ways than slavery.

And many people from that era are still alive. Would you actually tell a woman who is in her 80s or 90s to get over something that more than likely had a major impact on her life?

Would you tell someone such as Ruby Bridges who integrated an elementary school to get over what she went though since times are apparently different (which really isn't true)? What about Minnijean Brown of The Little Rock Nine?

What about family members of MLK?

Racism is still alive. One of the worst things to come out of the Civil rights movement is that its harder to spot the racists since a good majority of them have went under ground and are not loudly vocal like they used to be.

I get sick of seeing whites use the "slavery is over" argument. It holds no water considering its not slavery anyone is talking about!!!

Racism can be largely defeated....

White people don't want it to be defeated. Since they dismiss racism directed at blacks all the time and condone it too, it just shows how much they support racism.

White people love to pretend that racism happens to themselves, but none of us care because not a single one of you has yet to combat racism against us minorities. We are powerless. We have reason to be upset.

White people are not the type to work hard for what they need. I mean they have never really had to. They had blacks and chinese build the railroads. They had blacks do all the manuel labor for free for hundreds of years and so on. Whites rarely ever work hard and the few that do, were usually not American born. White Americans are just very pathetic.

They could easily destroy racism just by refusing to condone it and excuse it and justify it but that is too much work for them. They consider it racist whenever a black person can compete with them on the same level. So they see no advantage in destroying racism.

They are nothing without their white privilege. Absolutely nothing.

What is the follow up?

Have you ever noticed that every single person that has ever claimed they are not racist has 9 out of 10 times followed up that statement with something that is racist? Dismissing racism against blacks is a form of racism in itself.

For starters, when you have to say you are not racist, you already have me thinking you are racist. I mean someone who truly thinks they are not racist wouldn't even say they aren't racist. Saying it is to try to confirm it to yourself to make you feel better about the upcoming racist statement you are about to make.

When a white person says the word "race card" that alone makes you a racist cause once again you are dismissing racism to make yourself feel better about being a racist.

So if you don't want me to think you are racist do the following:

1. Stop saying you are not racist
2. Stop going into stereotypes
3. Stop dismissing racism
4. Stop condoning racism.

Naturally white people are incapable of doing that. Godforbid they actually have to do something for once in their worthless lives.

The importance of ethnic studies courses

Arizona did something admirable (combating illegal immigration) but then did a complete 180 and did something despicable, they are banning ethnic studies classes.

You see, Republicans rationale is that it favors one race and that you can get your "racial" history in regular ole' American history.

Um..newsflash! If one was getting it in regular ole' American history, then there would be no need for ethnic classes in the first place! But obviously that isn't so.

The point of ethnic studies classes (black history, hispanic history, asian history, etc) is to teach students about American history from the perspective of minorities, those that were legally forced to suffer for no reason other than their skin color.

Regular history class is in the slant of the white rich male with the occasional female.

Most students hate history and will not take the time to learn about history outside of class. How will they know about other races' history if there is no class for it?

Although, it isn't much help if few to none of whites take those classes in the first place.

I am expecting my African American studies class to be majority black if not all black.

When I become a history teacher I hope to save white students from being so inherently racist by teaching about other races' and their contributions to America. Parents have only fostered racsim in white children, someone has to step up to the plate and tell them racism is not okay.

I plan to teach to them how racism goes beyond just Jim Crow and will even implement assignments that focus on it.

Someone has to fight back against racism.

Ethnic studies are important, you can't create tolerance if you never mention other races.

White Othello??

I detest Shakespeare in every way possible. Unless one can do an updated version such as 10 Things I Hate About You or She's the Man, I can honestly say, I will get bored quickly.

In fact, I hate theatre all together. Back in October I saw Phantom of the Opera. Realizing that the mask is just like the one in the movie and alot of the scenes and songs are more like the 2004 movie as opposed to say the grotesque 1900s movie, I realized, why see it like that when I could see it on tv with someone as hot as Gerard Butler?

On top of that, my seat wasn't the greatest. It was free tickets from the school, what do you expect?

So I am not a theatre enthusiast.

But, Othello is one of the very miniscule, if only, plays by Shakespeare that has to do with a black man. The problem is, they rarely use a black man. They use a white man with black make up or just use a white man with no makeup.

Authenticity it lacks. Why get a white man to play what a black man can do naturally by just being himself?

Worse, whites are taking what few roles blacks do have away from them for the most selfish reasons.

I do not like Shakespeareans one bit. They are horrific people, who are blinded by ignorance and have yet to enter the 21st century.

I do not like to socialize with Shakespeareans because they are freaks of natures. They are talentless and that is why most of them will never cross over into Hollywood where the real acting is at.

A white Othello is a joke, and just gives me further reason to be anti-Shakespeare plays.

Does colorism set the standard for how racism is viewed?

I think it may.

Think about it like this. When dark skinned blacks point out how light skinned blacks (and biracials which I will just consider light skinned for now) are colorist towards darker skinned blacks, often the light skinned black will talk about how they are mistreated and will be dismissed by the dark skinned blacks.

The relations between different shades of the same race could in fact be the perfect example of why race relations between different races are so bad. Neither side is listen and neither side is working on the problem.

Dark skinned blacks do discriminate towards light skinned blacks. Light skinned blacks do in fact discriminate towards dark sinned blacks. Both are so busy proving how they are the victim, neither realize that they could fix the problem by stop contributing to the problem.

Both sides need to understand what they are doing or saying to each other that is causing the divide to continue. It shouldn't even be a problem in the black community.

Yes, its easy to blame slavery for the divide. But as many have said, it is only an explanation for how it started, not for why blacks are still letting colorism be a problem today.

You can't blame white people for colorism as most don't even know about the damn problem. As far as they are concerned black is black no matter how light or dark you are.

But dark skinned blacks feel they are the only victims. Because they feel that light skinned blacks have it easier, they mistreat those who are light skinned due to percieved colorism. As a result, the light skinned black either fights back or to compensate for low view of self, they make themselves feel superior. What does this end up resulting in? Just confirming the darker skinned black person's belief about light skinned blacks. So you see, the circle doesn't end!

And when you step back and see how both parties seem to only keep the problem alive rather than to stop and listen to each other and think about solutions, one can't help but wonder if this is part of the reason whites and blacks cannot get along.

Whites assume the worst about blacks, which causes blacks to fight back or mistrust whites and safeguard against mass majority racism that whites tend to have. Whites in return assume blacks must be racist. So the circle never ends. Neither side listens to the other and the problem goes unsolved.

So this actually leaves one question in mind. Why is it so hard for people to just shut up and listen and to rationally find solutions?

Being proud of being white is wrong, but its not wrong to be proud of ethnicity

Being proud of white disturbs me. You are basically saying you are proud of being part of a race that has cause alot of turmoil for minorities. You are proud of racism and torture.

That is why many of us feel sick to our stomachs when someone says they are proud of being white. There is nothing to be proud of.

Now when I hear whites say how proud they are of their Irish, German, or Italian heritage, I totally get them and don't feel the least bit offended.

There is a big difference between being proud of your race and being proud of your heritage/ethnicity.

Your ethnicity correlates with your culture and nationality more.

The Irish have a culture that is different from American Culture (hell even Canada has a different culture).

One can be black or white and totally have the same culture. Home Improvement and The Cosby Show is a great example, especially when Cliff Huxtable tries to "fix" things with similar (but less painful) results as Tim Taylor.

So be proud of being Irish or Italian or whatever, but be ashamed for being white.

Arizona fights back

Illegal immigrants don't have rights.

Arizona is fed up with illegal immigration. Illegal immigrants and other "immigrants" want to fight Arizona's new law.

At least Arizona is doing something.

This law should represent how fed up Americans are with the inaction going on with illegal immigration.

Is Arizona's solution the best? Probably not. But so far no one else has provided a reasonable solution that still tries to answer the illegal immigration problem.

Americans are tired of being put second to Illegals.

If I had it my way, I would stop immigration all together at least until we are out of the Recession-Depression.

Walmart, the business that cherishes its discrimination policies

People shop there because of low prices. Most would love to take a stand and boycott Walmart, but because they can't afford the higher expenses at other places as every dollar counts, people shut up and put up with Walmart's discriminatory behavior.

Walmart discriminates people based on race. Walmart discriminates based on gender...

The Walmart nearest me, is dirty and so damn busy that anyone who is clausterphobic would run out of their immediately.

Way further down that same long street (way way way way way way) further down you could find Target and Kmart, which people think are better to go to as they believe they are not discrimintory since you only hear about Walmart.

I am glad to break it to you, that Target and K-Mart are just as discrimintory. I knew someone who worked at K-Mart, who is white. He told me, that because they had met the quoata for minorities, they refused to hire anymore. That was why his black friend could not get hired. Of course he kept his job, which made me lose respect for him.

I see few blacks at all 3 of these stores. Actually, of the three stores, in my area, more work at Walmart and almost close to none get hired at Target, and many do apply.

The Target in my area is cleaner, and its colors are more appealing, but they are discrimintory too. Walmart just represents the villainy that box stores have created.

Almost no one goes to K-Mart anymore. They have nothing to offer and their store is just pathetic. They can't even decide if they are Big K-Mart or just plan ole K-Mart!!!

Box stores are able to discriminate freely without reprecussion because they have the backing of republicans and the 5 conservative "justices" on the supreme court.

They also can get away with it because they know their customers are too poor to take a stand. A business has no reason to stop its discrimintory practices when the people who shop there aren't taking a stand. When people stop shopping there to show they are fed up, and they start to lose money and business because of it, then they will listen and stop the practices.

I feel bad for Betty Dukes, she has it twice as hard by being a black woman. We have it harder than anyone else because we will never get a break in life.
