African Americans

Yeah, I've been training 45 minutes a day for it for just over 3 years.

Edit: By the way, he has to have a deep ass voice and a fro, like shaft.

 

They can name themselves however they want, because I disagree with the choice I am patronizing?
Hell, I even called you by the label you prefer.

3 is completely out of context. You said that unity = financial equivalence. I said in that case, unity is never going to happen. I do NOT agree that unity = financial equivalence however.

2 again, is disagreement. If you took any of these as patronizing, that's something you did on your own.
You seem to feel that discrimination and or the system keeps the system down. I feel that the black culture (though maybe that's phrased poorly) promotes living off of Welfare and meager wages. I don't think discrimination doesn't happen by any means - I do however, feel that the wage differences are for far more complex reasons than you recognize.

I don't see how disagreeing with you means I am patronizing you

 

u is just a little bitch duck

 

I define what is good enough for unity for me, not you. If you disagree, feel free to be my enemy.

I rest my case.

 

Well that's all and fair, but I still don't see how being 'your enemy' means I'm patronizing you.

What's a statement you disagree with mean anything towards it?
That's how I feel about black culture as a whole. I know plenty of blacks that are doing their work to escape it, and I even know blacks that would agree 100% with that statement. Again - how is that patronizing?

 

You got it ass-backwards. Sorry, for using slang.

I wish it was just me you were patronizing.

And I know plenty of whites who do not patronize an entire people.

 

whoa. hello racism.

 

Cherea, it's funny, you still haven't told me how I am patronizing anyone.

Me?
Cause he sure won't explain it to me, if you meant me, I would like to hear how I am.

 

That stroll around the block awaits you, my friend.

 

That stroll around the block isn't going to tell me what you would. Without your aide, all I will learn from this conversation is that you are impossible to talk about race issues fairly with. If I was really being patronizing, I feel you could explain it to me.

 

I have as much as a dog is able. But one thing I don't do is bark at trees! :biggrin:

 

Yeah, figured I wasn't. Thanks for the confirmation =)

 

Well basically you’re making generalizations about something you know absolutely
nothing about

i dunno, from my relatively small experience in the ghetto, the white people in urban areas don't speak like that. if they have any sort of uneducated sound, it tends to be more "redneck." and black people seem to call it their culture and their way of speaking.

that's cool. i musta been hanging out in a pretty bad neighborhood.

something else to add: i went to a suburban high school that was predominantly white. as time progressed, more and more black people started coming to the school. they all congregated on this ramp and rarely socialized outside of it. it was like voluntary segregation. really weird.


question: do all stereotypes bother you or just the negative ones? i mean, if someone assumes you've got a massive shlong and are athletic because you're black, does that bother you?

 

Depends. Around here most urban white ghettos are predominantly wigger with a few rednecks; but out in the suburbs, some are wigger, some are redneck, some are an odd mix of both.

In my 90% black school, it was the same way. And the few mexicans, arabs, and asians mostly hung out in their own groups too.
But at my college in the same city, some blacks stick to their own groups, but other than that, most groups are mixed race.

 

I respect wigger culture.

 

We've come to understand that white culture is superior and that most people on welfare are black.

 

You're not American either?

 

I'm a citizen of the universe. :cheers2:
