I just saw an IG meme that says the following: "Black people: whatsoever issues you have with another black person, please stop voicing them in front of white audiences. -Management."

And I was with a young lady on Monday who was talking about having that one Black coworker who is good for saying embarrassing things in front of White people, such as "yeah, they started fighting at Chipotle. OF COURSE they had to be Black, too!" or even "I know I got here late, but I'm Black, it's in my blood!"

How do you feel about this? I know some folks here have been against the whole "don't embarrass ourselves in front of Whitey!" mindset, but I'm sure there are some who agree with it at times.

"Arm Leg Leg Arm How you doin?" (c)T510

We put way too much stock in what white people think of us, not realizing this advances white supremacy. As long as we conform to this ambassador mentality, as each of us represents the whole and as if white people deserve some special consideration, we're placing them on a pedestal and crippling ourselves. If I'm tactful about my words or conversation, it has zero to do with what white people think.

family business? I think it's more on this side in many cases.

Such as, we might not be as willing to tell someone, even a friend, about our uncle who has a secret family. Or that my sister's husband cheated. We may discuss it within our own family events or dinners, but not when someone who's not a family member is around.

All the stuff we tend to be ashamed of exists in their populations too. So, we need to stop treating them like they're special. The more we buy into the idea of, what I like to call, "model negro behavior", the more we're trapped by it. When white people do embarrassing things, they don't attribute it to their race, but we do that consistently, good or bad.

We all know a huge component of white privilege is not even considering race. Sometimes, when things pop up we attribute it to race before they do, because we're so obsessed with what they think.

Case in point, comedians in dresses. Jimmy Fallon, Zac Efron, Seth Rogen, Will Farrell and countless other white comedians have done it and they're just seen as comedians being silly. Let any black comedian get in a dress and it's a conspiracy to emasculate the black man. A lot of times, we take that ish way too far. It's understandable, because of our conditioning and dehumanization in this society. At a certain point, you have to just move from an assumed position of equality.

If you think I am going to be cool with ANY co-worker, black or white, pop off with negative shit about black people for an audience of co-workers and supervisors who can affect my career and help foster negative opinions about me and my people you must be trippin.

TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

Nobody should be speaking recklessly about any race in a workplace setting. So, that's less about caring what white people think and more about being professional and observing federal law.

to justify doing something shady.

so i guess i agree...

***
I'm tryna be better off, not better than...

stereotypes all together.

"You know Black people don't pay bills on time!"

"You know we always late!"

What kind of shit is this for our children to be hearing? That's number one.

But number 2, it's impossible to exist outside of what white folks think about Black
people in a white supremacist society. Now unless we have a place to move to where
it's just us, then we have to be conscious of what they think of us, at least for now.
That's only logical. Some of these mufuckas only opinion of us is formed by what
they see on TV, because they're not forced to interact with us the way we are with them.
So when the only readily available images of us are violent, constant arguing, or
comedy that reinforces these negative stereotypes...
Police justify arresting and killing us while the rest of society doesn't see why that's a problem.
Sure, we're not a monolith and racists gonna race, etc etc but why are we willingly
participating in the propaganda? Shit don't make no sense.
White folks ain't the only folks hearing it. WE ARE HEARING IT TOO. And I know yall
OKP niggas are above the law of the spoken word and you take nothing seriously,
but I personally know Black folks who buy these stereotypes about themselves
just as much as white people buy it about us.
But whatever. Yall swear I'm just some crazy, angry nigga talking shit.

Days like this I miss Sha Mecca

"Get ready..for your blessing..."

Just use Gladwell's 10,000 hour rule here to convince yourself of that.

Black people are experts on Black people and White people aren't.

Black people also HAVE to basically understand White culture, because we live among it and it's dangerous for us not to understand it. White people do not have this impetus to understand Black culture.

You can witness the same dynamic along ANY axis of privilege btw: men/woman, US/3rd World, rich/poor, educated/uneducated.

It gets me into a different personality and frame of reference so that I don't have to explain black issues,

Plenty of black people have white friends, lovers, or spouses.

Also: white people can read Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter too.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

cause a black person and a white person can do,the same thing and white people will be like

"omg, did you see what that black person did"

but yeah. Twitter and IG waist

#minuswell say what you want and be free because they are everywhere and you ain't never there.

There a white man on top of the grand canyon as we speak taking leyote and communing with the great spirit.

There's a white man in the last working crackhouse in Compton right now.
