I was wondering if people actually co-sign this?


Anyway on the topic, I think you can but they have to recognize limitations about what they can talk about. For example, if you are a black man married to a non-white woman, you need to be very careful talking about black women. And just leave dating and black women alone. You can't speak on it.

"what's a leader if he isn't reluctant"

sometimes I get her but majority of the time she's on that bullshit

You should make your post if you get time

remember to turn off my connate Black racial cynicism about stuff in terms of what I talk about. There's lots of in-group stuff I'd say to a Black woman I wouldn't dare mention to a non-Black woman (that includes West Indians and Africans, too, sorry to say).

When Hitler wrote Mein Kampf.....Jews had a disproportionate amount of purchasing power in Germany. They were over-represented in the wealthy class and had disproportionate control of banks.

So Mein Kampf wasn't racist? Or it would seem....under this theory....Mein Kampf BECAME racist once the Nazi regime gained power? It was only racially prejudiced beforehand?

It's just a silly, fruitless, semantical argument imo.

I agree that there is function in differentiating between the racism depicted in those clips (white people getting beat up by black people) and the experience of disenfranchised minorities. But we can do that with the terms 'systemic racism' or 'institutional racism'. Alot less logical pitfalls in that direction. What her theory seems to suggest...is that there's no such thing as racism that's not systemic or institutional. So those terms would be redundant.

But if we're just gonna randomly change definitions for no clear reasons.....why don't we change the definition of 'racial prejudice' too? So you can only be 'racially prejudiced' if you have belief + power. Which means we need a new term for.....wait, what's the point again?

or the reverse

one of those Bubba Sparks/Teena Marie types

do they get a pass?

(heh..)

Is there a commission set up to approve or disapprove of interracial relationships?

The country has legalized gay marriage & folks still tripping on two people loving each other

Love is actually something to be controlled & judged...

She either loves her husband or loves her people?

In America? definitely.

>She either loves her husband or loves her people?
This is why I say there isn't much room for race in a truly loving relationship because you can obviously love your spouse and the people with whom you have general commonalities at the same time.

Racial politics corny and opportunist

It just doesn't make her feel legit to me.
Plus she is riding the whole buzzfeed trend of "things white people don't get"

I don't find her to be a critical or nuanced thinker on race.

Unless you have to explain shit to them on a daily basis...like in an interracial relationship.

like pro-black should = anti-white
like standing up on behalf of minorities means you cant love a white person
like her husband cant be great to/for her despite her taking issue with other white people
etc.

*i edited the sarcasm cuz it ain't necessary*

But yeah i tried to make it clear wit the first sentence that it prolly could work

Days like this I miss Sha Mecca

her sister and mother jokingly warned me that i was getting involved with "sister souljah" before she and i were officially an item. she vocalized her displeasure with my whiteness often at first but eventually kind of got over it (but not really). she said, "i wish you were black," at least once and had genuine issues with my inability to empathize with her experience with racism. but we connected on every other level and at the time really needed each other so we stuck with it, hoping we would grow out of (into?) the racial issues

i just loved her and wanted to be with her so i put a lot of effort into understanding what it meant to be black in her eyes. we devoted hundreds of hours to conversations, stories, and anecdotes about it. it was very important to her that i understood what it meant to be black and specifically how important her blackness was to her

we eventually broke up due to non-race related issues. the racial thing was just another layer of incompatibility between us, mostly coming from her end. she needed to be with someone with similar experiences to hers and the ability to connect on a deeper level than what she and i were connecting on

she said, "i wish you were black," at least
>once and had genuine issues with my inability to empathize
>with her experience with racism.

There is just no way I think it would be possible if I were dating someone who could say to me more than once "I wish you were a whole nother being" because that's basically what saying I wish you were another race means.

> it was very important to her that i
>understood what it meant to be black and specifically how
>important her blackness was to her

This makes me cringe because she can only tell you what it meant to be black TO HER. You could date another black person and what it meant to be black to them could be a whole different experience.

Since college I've always been annoyed by that black person who elects themselves to be the person to represent black people and explain the black position on topics for the class.

yeah it definitely hurt. still hurts. looking back on it i think it wasn't completely malicious and partly out of frustration since i had so many qualities she desired but was lacking that one extremely important attribute of being able to empathize with her. sympathy wasn't quite enough for her

>This makes me cringe because she can only tell you what it
>meant to be black TO HER. You could date another black

fwiw she made it clear that her experience was not the catch-all black experience but the black experience through her eyes. i had no expectations of getting some kind of rosetta stone for being black in america. it think it was more, "this is a huge part of what i am and why i am the way i am and i need you to understand it"

>Since college I've always been annoyed by that black person
>who elects themselves to be the person to represent black
>people and explain the black position on topics for the class.

i never took it as her "explaining blackness" to me. i've lived in the south for 35+ years. historically a majority of my friends have been black and i've worked with and under mostly black people for 15+ years. idk how to put this without sounding super white and somewhat smugly knowing and but i had a vague understanding of what it was like to be black in america before she and i got together due to my near-constant interaction with black folk

>she vocalized her displeasure with my
>whiteness often at first but eventually kind of got over it
>(but not really). she said, "i wish you were black," at least
>once and had genuine issues with my inability to empathize

Man, I can't imagine seriously dating a non-black woman and her telling me that she rather I was of her ethnicity. This didn't bother you?

This just seems wrong. It sounds divisive, like her experience vs. yours.

Seem like she the type that wanted an audience for something and just fell into that online blackity black video lane.

There's alot of them out there that just regurgitate cliché pro black shit and don't really do nothing else.

"regurgitate cliché pro black shit and don't really do nothing else."

It is somewhat embarrassing because they think they are speaking for a large black audience. I don't deal with that many uninformed white people where I have to explain hair texture, lipstick color etc... Maybe this is a millennial issue since they intermix more than my Gen Xers.

Maybe they do it for the gram or views?

i know she's watching them because they've made her a miserable person
she's always ranting about how black men arent on her level because
she's getting her masters degree or some bullshit

im sure she's going to marry a white dude i it wouldnt bother me
as long as shes happy

but those videos have really made her miserable
i can say something like Teynnah Parris has a beautiful smile

and she'll take a left turn straight to crazyville
about how im oversexualizing the black woman

shit gets to be a headache

it always throws me for a loop because im not saying
her ass is phat or some perverted stuff so now i just keep my mouth shut
