Is assimilation wrong?

Ghettoness, rap, ebonics, and many other bad things have become synonamous with black culture.

When we look at how Asians are accepted, they have fully assimilated. Is it any wonder why some Middle Easterners, Blacks, and Hispanics deal with trouble?

With Middle Easterners, their problem lies in the fact that their culture hinges on religion, its not a separate entity. Westerners for this reason do no accept Middle Easterners. Different religion and culture.

With Hispanics and Blacks, we share the same religion but yet we refuse to assimilate.

Blacks tend to argue using slavery as their driving force not to. Its one thing if you used the Jim Crow argument since that only ended 40 years ago. But everything cannot be explained through slavery or excused because of it.

This is why you hear some blacks when arguing over the issue of colorism in the black race will ask the question "even if it started with slavery, its you the black person who keeps on doing it?"

By no means am I saying condone racism, although one should choose their battles when it comes to racism, but I am saying that blacks keep trying to find ways to be a separate entity from whites.

Do you realize that in Europe you will be hated for all the things white americans have done???

On top of that, being completely different does not help the cause. It gives the other races more reasons to point fingers and hate on us more.

Whites are the majority in America, therefore one must assimilate into their culture as much as it can. Whites can't criticize you without criticizing themselves then.

Why white people want to ignore racism against blacks

Its a pretty clear cut answer.

Addressing a problem would mean having to change how you do things. Whites like being on top. They like the privleges they get.

Why would any group on top willing change status quo when it would work against them?

Why would a white person want to have to fairly compete for a job and risk the possibility of the better qualified black getting chose over them?

White people don't want to come out and admit they like racism. They love the privelege. But it is the reason whites ignore racism and are totally okay with it happening...as long as they (the whites) don't have to be victims.

In fact, whites will call a black person with power racist, simply to keep them from having power.

In the end, whites just don't want to abolish racism because they want the unfair advantages and not having to work hard for anything in life.

Why Abagond's blog is going further down hill

Abagond is destroying his blog by letting the racists hang out there and alienating his regular commentors.

He is becoming disrespectful.

He crossed the line when he let No Slappz a racist troll stick around.

Yet he won't allow anyone to tell Slappz off. Someone has to since Abagond is being a complete douchebag about it.

That website is nothing more than Halle-bashing, Angela-praising (and believe me, she SUCKS just as much as Halle!).

You got hateful black users like Mynameismyname, who goes around being anti-female, anti-black, and anti-biracial. He is just a creepazoid...

Then you got a shipment of new whites who are bringing their racist ideology and confirming the posts written.

The posts themselves have become repetitive only with new titles.

With the website full of predators who lurk about trying to find innocents to put their claws into and attack, I am thinking of leaving that site for good.

Its becoming a troll haven...I wouldn't be surprised if by the end of this year its a barren empty dump.

Abagond brought on himself with his lenient and ignorant policy. He gets whats coming for defending the racists instead of his loyal commentors.

It will eventually be Stormfront that is run by a black man but carries the same message as a racist white man.

Why blacks rip on blacks (especially celebrity) surgery?

Its typical of blacks to rip on blacks for surgery. Nose surgery or other surgeries. They see it as self hating.

Is it? Who knows.

Is it really the business of other blacks to be telling how someone's life is?

Unnecessary surgery is never a good thing, but who knows how drastically better someone's life could be with it.

If a black person wants to anglicize their nose, its their own right to do so. You the viewer of that celebrity get to choose who you like or not.

White people themselves try to anglicize their noses to perfection.

Hate the game not the players.

When I see blacks ripping on a female black for not being their own definition of what is black, I think the rippers are more self-hating than the celebrity they accuse of being "self-hating".

I mean, its amazing how serious some of these no-lifes take celebrities choices. Do you NOT have a life of your own????

Everyone always says that these celebs should be role models..well there is the problem. Stop burdening famous people with having to be an unrealistic role model/idol who cannot live up to those standards in the end.

Just be the customer who pays for their music or movies and let them just be the celebrity that sings or acts.

Angela Bassett is to black people what Halle Berry is to white people

If you were to ask me who are the prettiest dark skinned black women the first 2 that come to mind are Vivica A Fox and Gabrielle Union. Angela Bassett is pretty in her own right but not in the way blacks hype her up.

Many blacks (especially women) tend to tear Halle apart because of the attention she gets from whites. Whites hype her up as the "ideal" black beauty.

Because she is lighter than most blacks (who have the milk chocolate skin tone), many blacks reject her.

Now of course her acting really is sub-par, obviously she is more known for her looks than anything else.

But black people often nonetheless complain about how Halle gets hyped up. So what do they do?

They hype up Angela Bassett. To an extent that they refuse to be open to the idea of other black women, such as Fox as being the "ideal" beauty.

If there is a lesson to learn in any of this its that, you can't put a stamp on who is the ideal beauty.

I hate it when people hype something up more than it really needs to be. In fact the more we hype it the more critical some of us become...something we wouldn't notice if people left well enough alone and didn't hype it up.

Why do you think people make fun of Titanic (and in 1o years Avatar)? The same with Twilight, HSM, and etc.

Responding to one form of hyping by hyping someone else does not answer the problem at hand.

Stop letting one represent all.

A note about feminism.

Women and men can never truly be equal or one in the same. Why?

Men can't have babies. The fact that God made it to where only women can reproduce obviously means that men and women are NOT the same.

If we were the same, then why aren't men having babies?????

Women are weaker than men. A reality that we must face.

Affirmitive Action

Sometimes I wonder if affirmative action helps or not.

It helps get qualified minorities jobs that they otherwise wouldn't get due to racism amongst those hiring.

But the problems with affirmative action are as follows:

1. Whites respond to the quoata system by not hiring anymore minorities once they have filled their quota. This is a catch 22 concept...AA exists due to racism in hiring. Bosses decide due to their racist beliefs not to hire any more minorities once the quotas had been filled thus reinforing why affirmative action is needed, because, these same racist people wouldn't hire any minorities from the get go because of racism if affirmative action didn't exist.
   
2. It makes white people think you are under qualified. When Obama became president people said it was because of AA...the same when Charlie Bolden became NASA administrator (ironically Bolden has real space travel and military experience, something most of the past administrators can't say for themselves). Worse though is when you are chosen legitly over the white person, due to the white person's racist beliefs they assume it was because of AA (God forbid the minority is actually more qualified and worked harder than the white person).
3. Blacks least benefit from AA. They tend to equate different minority groups as the same when they aren't. In fact, women even benefit more than blacks do.
4. White people tend to find a way around affirmative action, so its almost like its not even there.
5. Finally, if you are hired because of AA, the coworkers will treat you badly even if you are just as qualified...because they don't want you there and they want you to know it.
   

Most of us minorities know that in order to get anywhere, we have to work twice as hard as a white person.

There was a study that showed that black men who had no record and were more qualified lost out to a white person who had a jail record and was less qualified for the job.

If that doesn't tell you how racist society is, nothing will. I mean, who seriously chooses someone that does bad for their business simply because they are white? Obviously only racists who don't care for profit.

I know some businesses are now implementing rules where you can be overqualified for something (all in the name of saving a dollar).

Blacks are backed into a corner...they have to be very qualified to get a job or to even just get an interview, much more than the white person...but now businesses say they won't hire anyone who is overqualified.

Its like every time a black person finds a way to beat the system, whites come up with new and inane ways of pushing them back down.

This is why blacks need to be like the Jews and Asians and Native Americans, and start creating their own towns and systems.

We did it before, during Jim Crow, we could do it again.

Obviously integration doesn't work...you already have racist whites wanting to legalize racial profiling (although if anyone should be profiled its white people).

Racism is such a big problem for the black community because we heavily depend on whites (the diasdvantage to an integrated society).

Illegal Immigration makes you racist?

This is unrelated to my previous post.

This is a case where I actually empathize with whites.

Whites often get called racist for being against illegal immigration.

But the catch is, no white ever specifically refers to a race. Sometimes they will talk about the biggest minority group of illegals, which is Latin people, and also the one minority group that doesn't try to assimilate language wise (ever notice that you don't have to press 3, 4 or 5 for Chinese (or Korean), Ghanaian, or Indian?), Latins have been the only minority group to try not to learn English, at least those from the middle east, Africa, and Asia, and European countries try to.

But anyways, Whites get called racist for saying they are against illegal immigration. Who on earth can possibly be for such a thing, that is like complete anarchy.

But the ones who are really racist are the ones that assume you mean hispanics! If someone doesn't specify, it shows that you yourself are stereotypical for acting as if someone is racist when they never specified a group.

This isn't about implying. When you call someone racist, you can't call someone racist based on feeling like it was implied but never said. They have to actually have said something that is specified.

Deport Mexicans

There is probably only ONE thing that could ever possibly make me become a conservative or vote for a conservative, and thats a solid plan to fix the immigration issue.

I despise illegals. I hate the fact that English is not the official language, and latinos get angry that we don't cater enough.

Deport illegals, put a cap on the amount of legals we allow in, and FORCE them to learn English!

I am sick and tired of what they are doing to our economy, and what they have been doing to black people. They are taking over and bringing their bad habits over.

Mexico is a shitty 3rd world country pretty much, and they are trying to turn America into one too.

They are breaking the law by being here. If any normal american went and stole some money they'd go to jail. Illegals get away with it all the fucking time.

Put up an electric fence, shoot to kill if we need to. No means No, this is America, not Amexica.

Enough is ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!

The Republican definition of being for "black rights"

Recently I discovered something...whenever Republicans claim they are for black rights, they have only presented one case.

Slavery.

Back in the 1800s Republicans were what the Democrats of today are.

Yet Republicans try to take credit for what the Republicans were of yesterday.

Although Lincoln and his like were NOT for the ending of slavery, he was simply just backed into that corner.

Why do republicans of today try to take credit for an event from 150 years ago? Why do they use it as proof they are for black rights?

Because they have no recent arguments to use. There are so many cases in the last 60 years that only serve to prove why blacks vote for Democrats.

I mean, its sad when the first thing that comes out of your mouth as proof that the republicans are for black rights is an event no one of today was even alive for!

It only serves as proof that republicans of today are NOT for black rights. There is a reason many of us call that party the White Party and supporters of white supremacy. They chose to only pander to whites and racism. They are the ones who constantly use racism and justify it.

Why I don't associate with black conservatives

Black conservatives are worse than white conservatives. Why? Because black conservative actually support racism against their own!!

I equate black conservatives to ghetto blacks. They are the type of blacks that are embarrassing. They are worse than uncle toms, they are Jim Crow loving blacks.

I hate the Clarence Thomas' and Condi Rices and Michael Steeles of the world. They are the definition of "uppity blacks".

Its one thing to get past a white racist...but a black who willingly supports racism against blacks and wants the death of blacks, is outrageous. As far as I am concerned these people aren't black, they are just whites in black face.

My stupid sister is one of these black conservative cretins (she is biracial)...I do not talk to her at all.

Conservative Christians are the Pharisees of the Bible, on that ground alone I have no reason to converse with those kinds of "humans". But I can't respect a conservative black person...they are just dumb people who don't use their brains and tend to be followers....they are what is wrong with America.

Why English should be the official Language of the US

I hate the fact that its becoming harder to get certain jobs because you have to be bilingual. Either send them back to their country or require them to learn English. Stop making Americans pay at the expense of lazy foreigners.

How can a country ever unify if it is too busy allowing illegals and legal immigrants get away with disloyalty. Loyal immigrants would make the effort to learn english.

No one is trying to take your language away. No one is saying you can't speak your home language at home. We are simply saying that in public places, use English.

Don't expect to get hired if you don't know English.

If America doesn't establish the law to make English our language, then when the Spanish take over, they will make sure their language is the official language and then its officially goodbye America.

Its common courtesy to learn the language of the country you visit or decide to live in. If I moved to Canada, I would try to figure out how to spell words the way Canadians do.

Why should everyone else bow down to you, the foreigner? You aren't special, America will survive without you.

Its very simple, learn English or LEAVE America.

Harry Reid

Harry Reid apologized recently for having said during the election,

"light skinned" African-American "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one."

The thing is, very few blacks are offended by this remark. Harry Reid is a Democrat, so we are for starters willing to forgive more easily. Secondly the Democrats aren't know for doing constant racist things repeatedly while defending them like the Republicans do. Also, we understand the reality of the comment.

He is echoing the sentiment shared by the majority of America. In order to become president, you have to be light skinned, and most importantly cannot talk Ebonics.

Republicans are in fact the only ones upset about this. But they are more upset by the fact that very few Democrats are upset by the comment. Sharpton himself was passe about the comment.

Republicans can't figure out why Democrats often call them out for racism but let a fellow Democrat go. Well the answer lies in the fact that Republicans have been racist too many times. There have been too many incidents. Its like the boy who cried wolf. They are racist so much, its impossible to tell if they are being racist or not about something else. When you have hate mongerers like Coulter, Limbaugh, and Beck on your wing, you deserve the criticism.

Reid didn't even use a racially insensitive word. Whenever someone uses "negro", we assume they are old because they are using an archaic word. Negro, like colored, was never an insult, it was to the 1950s and 60s what black and African American are today.

Whites should be more upset that he described the truth about White America in a nutshell. The fact that whites aren't upset that he made remarks that clearly underestimates a whole group shows that maybe he wasn't underestimating whites, they are what they are.

I personally don't agree with some of his political views but what he said is certainly not so bad compared to what Guiliani said about no terrorist attacks being made under Bush unlike Obama.

White hero

The White hero is the protagonist of a movie who is supposed to champion a minority race.

Examples include: Pocahontas and Freedom Writers.

The story is told from the perspective of the white person, with them immersing themselves into the minority race culture.

Only problem is they never fully can immerse, because they are white, they have the benefit of always going back to the white world as if nothing ever happened.

You rarely see racial movies done in the perspective of a black person, and when you do, its usually not a box office success, mostly because its directed by a black person (and we all know its impossible for blacks to be famous directors).

Often the White hero is the bridge between their own and not their own. Think along the lines of having to have a white person declare that racism against blacks is increasing. Whites would only believe it and listen when it comes from a white person.

Reasons they do this:

• White people are not capable of understanding another race's perspective. Its the truth, if they were to make Freedom Writers from the perspective of the students only with the teacher just being a teacher and nothing more, whites wouldn't understand it at all, heck they wouldn't understand it if the teacher was black instead of white. White people grow up with the privilege of ignoring reality. It is also because of this privilege whites would never even think of making it in the perspective of a non-white.
  
• Black movies are not a financial success. This is the truth, if there isn't a white person billed first on a movie, whites will not go to it. The only exception ever made was Will Smith. There is a reason you never see Will Smith with a black woman in a movie.
  
• Whites are the majority race. Because of this Hollywood cares more about white money than other money. Hollywood wants the maximum amount, even if this means they insult minority groups. Hollywood has a long history of offensive movies that top the charts as the worst movies (Birth of a Nation and Gone With the Wind to name a few).
  
• Whites get offended too easily. Because they cannot understand racial issues from the perspective of the minority themselves, they easily would misinterpret something as an attack on their white being. They live outside of reality, in their fantasy world, where everyday they justify racist acts to help themselves sleep at night. To them, if a movie that is about race is from the perspective of a black person, they would accuse them the "race card" and consider the movie nonsense. Using a white person as a bridge between two races is pretty logical when you look at it like this.
  

Of course the problem with all of this is that movies become repetitious. The whole notion that a white person can only save a minority race is irritating. Of course with how whites act, blacks can't possibly make any progress without that white person who can speak on behalf of blacks to whites since whites are too racist towards blacks to actually listen to them themselves.

In the end, if you want to stay away from the White Hero, the best way to do it is to make sure the movie you are watching has no racial overtones or undertones involved.

Black hair

I was reading about how whites caused a controversy over Malia's choice in wearing her hair in twists.

Whites seem to fail to understand black hair. They expect blacks to shell out hundreds of dollars per month and lots of valuable time to make their hair look "white".

Then whites get mad when a black person dares have the audacity to say that white people's unacceptence of black hair is what causes these kind of problem.

Blacks are less likely to be hired for sporting a natural look. So essentially they are forced into a corner where they have to shell out money and time to please whites, or sacrifice well paying jobs because they want to be natural.

White women often try to compare their predicament about hair straigtening to women...at least YOU can wear your hair in curls and be unaffected by it.

I never understood the fact that if so many white women and other women had to go through such great lengths to get straight hair, why would they allow straight hair to be all that, why let it be so powerful?

In the end, as usual though, black women can never win...if you relax your hair, you not only damage it, but you waste time and money...if you don't wear your hair relaxed then you get stigmatized.

A slice of irony about Tiger Woods

Many blacks are not sympathetic to Tiger. Whites are angry that Tiger would dare cheat on a white woman...but blacks are not so much angry as they are just enjoying relishing in Tiger's humiliating spectacle.

Blacks were angry when Tiger showcased himself as being "above black" by not calling himself black. So when the white world attacked Tiger for his cheating, the blacks enjoyed his downfall.

In their eyes, he turned on the blacks and should not expect sympathy.

In other words, blacks viewed him as an uppity black who got his comeuppance.

But there is a bit of irony in this. As usual white have made Tiger's actions a "Black thing", just like when whites who kept insisting Obama was biracial, started calling him a black guy (and using racial epithets) because they didn't like his policies (the fact that they resorted to using racial slurs only shows that they couldn't find any real problems with his ideals so they attacked his race to have something to bitch about).

But the fact that blacks are so happy to see Tiger taken down, they don't realize what this means...it means that whites are saying blacks are being uppity by doing what white people do often way too much.

But then again, maybe blacks do know this, and have accepted that a long time ago. Or maybe the joy of seeing Tiger fall is just too great to let themselves be burdened by white peoples usual "hang the black for a wrong that you slap the wrist of a white person for".

Dead Mall Syndrome

Dead Mall Syndrome is when a new and better mall is built that causes people to abandon the mall they are at to go to the new mall. This creates a downturn as those who have money to spend are no longer spending it at the old malls, so there is a loss in revenue.

At first these malls are usually able to retain some customers. Usually black people (sometimes old white people). This is because the mall still has a bus stop that runs through there, while the new mall does not yet.

Whites often blame black people for the destruction of a mall (white people did this to the dead mall that is about a 15 min drive from me). But the truth is blacks are the ones that temporarily keep the mall surfacing above water.

But more and more store continue to pull out due to low revenue...and when the new malls make it possible to access via public transportation (which is vital for any mall business that wants to flourish), the blacks who don't have transportation abandon the mall.

The only ones who are left at the dead mall are the very poor and the very lazy, people who pretty much jut loiter and buy nothing.

The bus stop gets removed which cuts off the line of any potential customers as no one with cars is going to shop at a dead mall.

Soon very few stores exist in the mall.

Now when news springs up of the mall being destroyed or finally closed, former shoppers get upset and up in arms about it. They start reminiscing about how much they loved the mall.

They tend to blame the blacks who were last there before the mall would shut down as destroying the mall. But the truth is, the mall's destruction is at the fault of all frequent shoppers who abandoned it for the new mall.

In my city, there was a new grand mall that was built, it was the nail in the coffin to the mall near me as it was already going downhill. The new mall also did the same to another mall, and to the galleria. It is possible other malls could be affected. But in the case of the mall near me, the last people there were black, but in the case of the other mall, the last people were young blacks and old white women.

When I told my mom the mall was slated to be closed, it made her cry. As much as I missed its glory that I remembered as a child, I couldn't help but ask her where she and many other customers were when the mall started collapsing?

What is the mall supposed to do? Just stay there for nostaligic purposes? Supposedly the Walmart around the corner want to build a new Walmart there. But right now the future of the mall is unknown, some say the people who now own it may try to restore it to its former glory as an outdoors mall (a concept dropped in the 1980s). If they want to revive it, they would have to make it better than the new mall and they would have to restore the bus stop.

But there has been a murder (possibly multiple in its history), which is enough to discourage anyone from ever wanting to go there, even if they arrested the person.

Most mall problems should only have problems with teens causing a mayhem (all the malls in my city and neighboring towns implemented rules saying teens under 17 had to have parents after certain hours, something that mall security never really maintained).

Often there are signs that a mall is going dead even before a new mall is built.

One sign is to pay attention to the stores and attractions that close down. At the mall near me, even before 2003 (the year the new mall opened), stores like JC Penney had left, the game arcade even left. And the movie theater kept undergoing renovations and finally it closed down.

But usually its the advent of a new mall that does it in for dead malls that put them on a path to which they can never be recovered.

Super malls have the power to take down multiple malls. This new mall had everything that none of the malls and the galleria had. It was much bigger too.

In the end, the Dead Mall Syndrome can be blamed on the people. They want bigger and better, they get tired of the old fast and when something new comes along they abandon the old...its only a matter of time til the last people their abandon it for the new too (they abandon primarily cause there is very few places to shop at).

Why I no longer advocate gay rights

Lots of straight people defend gays, I defended gays quietly unlike most straight people.

But now I regret ever defending gays and no longer feel annoyed by my family's homophobia.

But my reasons for being anti-gay are different.

Reasons I no longer support or advocate for gays:

1. They keep trying to dismantle traditions such as the Boy Scouts (atheists do this to).
2. Every gay person I have met has had that "holider than thou, stuck up, I am better than you" attitude. I do not like primadonnas. I hate divas and divos.
3. I can't stand the gay voices, and I hate flamboyance. I mean, must you show it (I also do not like seeing gay people kiss in public.
4. Gay people are very racist and hateful. I just can't advocate for a group like that.
5. They pretend to be Christians when they are not.

Even though I am a liberal, I just can't stand society being too liberal, that is why I am a moderate liberal. It annoys me when I hear girls wanting to be allowed into Boy Scouts and it annoys me when gays cause society to have to go out of its way to bend over backwards because they get offended to goddamn easy.

I do not find "thats so gay" to be offensive...

In the end, I no longer defend gays as every lesbian and gay person has given me all the reasons in the world to join the conservatives on denying gays any rights.

New blog made

I am still going to use this blog but I made my personal blog using a different email of mine.

Its at blogger.

The catch is i only posted the link at facebook.

The blog is called Exploration. I am not going to post the link on here though. It really isn't important to this blog.

Getting paid means your not a hero

I don't think soldiers, cops, paramedics, firemen, teachers, etc are heroes.

Why? Because they are getting paid for what they do. A TRUE hero does something because its the right thing not because its their job in which they are being paid to do.

Ever since 9/11 people have been loosely defining what makes someone a hero. By peoples new definition of it, everyone is a hero.

A hero is a good samaritan (something that is rare nowadays out of fear of being sued by the person they are saving).

But it annoys me when someone labels someone a hero for doing the job they are paid to do.

People need to stop labeling someone a hero just like they need to stop idolizing people.

A New Blog to be

I am currently debating making another blog, I am not sure If I want it to be at Blogger, Wordpress, or somewhere else entirely.

This new blog would be more personal...more of an adventure and a way to keep me focused on who I am.

It would be the blog I am willing to let others know about.

I'd call it Exploration.
