Gmahogany.
The lionshare of comments in this debate not only centered around Black leaders, but MLK, in particular, so where you get the idea that anyone was overly concerned with what regular,everyday Black folks do in this matter, as impacting on OUR agenda/struggle, is beyond me.So here's my question if you like, can you really state that you're race conscious, Race proud and then not be with someone of the same race?9
Kujufus comments were:-
Is it possible to be PRO BLACK and have a partner who is not BLACK?
[note to forum, this is not a bashing thread, nor an IR thread its a simple question about what is meant by race pride!!]
My view for what its worth that it is a total contradiction to say you're race proud, and then not be with some of your own race...am i wrong?
The fact that some may of mistook what he was asking, or that some may to wondered down other paths doesn't change the original question.
A friend of mine has a whole theory about why that is, and the TRUE underlying motivations of many so called "pro-Black" types. I'll get into that at another time, possibly.
Look forward to it!
I'm a she,
Sorry, I did ASSUME, you were male, hence the 'tude' of my post.
..who here is "bitching on about white people"?
Look around the forum.
You are ASSUMING that just because there are Black people who think that "pro Black" leaders/advocates ought to marry/date Black folks, that WE must be obsessed with white folks? Interesting twist of logic. We're obsessed with Crackers, not the so called "pro Black" people on a "pro Black" Board, who are distressed and disturbed that others don't share their predilection/preoccupation with dating/marrying/phucking white folks or advocating the dating/phucking/marrying of white folks,lol.)
Hhhhmmm, Intresting, but don't you think it would be more productive to be 'obsessed' with our situation? Obsessing over crackers, really isn't much help to us, unless to need to release some pent up pressure.
Once again, I'm always amused by Negroes who swear they are schooling the lowly, heathen Black masses when they are SO not.
Intresting way of looking at it.!
No one here is CONSTANTLY mentioning white people. To the extent that whites and other races are being mentioned, it probably has to do with the fact that the title of the thread is: Can U be Pro Black and have a White or non Black partner", or something like that. Makes it kind of difficult NOT to mention whites and other non Blacks,lol.
Again, Look around the forum.
Oooh, I'm a She, and no I'm not getting paid to say Negroes. I just think it's UTTERLY appropos in certain instances. The same way I think words like CRACKER and ******, are utterly appropos in certain instances. You got a problem with that? If so, I'll be sure and INCREASE my usage of the words in question,lol.
Sorry hun, the word 'negro' isn't my kryptonite!
Just found it strange that a african person would use it in any sense on a african forum. I cheaked and saw that you in the US. Obviously it is a common word over there but we dont hear it in the UK (unless its used by a few lost souls) because dispite the problems of today, most white people like their lives and wouldn't dream of ending it by using that word to refure to a black african, let alone a black african using it to refure to himself or someone else reguardless of the situation.
Please, be my guess, use it till your hearts content!
If you throw in people like Booker T. Washington. My point was, that to this certain ilk of NEGRO, it's conservative thinking, they feel compelled to allign themselves with the white Conservative RACIST agendaS, and come talk shit to the rest of us, like they discovered the wheel or something.
No we haven't discovered the wheel. When that was discovered, its value was instantly recognised and today we have the Chrysler Crossfire!
First of all, I don't use the term YT, so I don't know where you got that from. My white person word of choice is CRACKER, get it straight.
Ok, got it, calm down! lol.
don't use any of the words I use, because I think they are "revolutionary". I use them because again, I think they are UTTERLY appropos, in some instances. Beyond that, They succeed in getting certain NEGROES panties in a bunch, for what reason I do not know. So apparently they generate some kind of power/effect. Who knew? LOL.)
I explained above, 'negro' isn't a word that is in common useage in the uk. It doesn't generate any kind of power with me. Unless a non black person usese it, then that depends on my mood!
I'm just surprised that someone that someone who claims some level of consciousness would use it to discribe other people of the same race, but we are on differnt pages. I accept it is consistent with your beliefs. I will not mention it again! Honest!
I'm not racially insulting my own people. You haven't ever seen me in INSULT mode. The way you're having a hissy fit about words like NEGRO, I reckon you'd have a out and out nervous breakdown, if I REALLY took it there,lol.
So do you refer to your 'pals' as negros? OK!
I throw 'organic free range' insults myself when I am ready hunny, but I don't insult women, least of all on the net, I'll leave that to those who have a street mentality! So me and you will not be having any cross words! Just not my style!..sorry!
Again, I have no problem with it being mentioned(although I hardly think the people on this Board are the appropriate target audience, a little presumptous and preaching to the choir-esque, wouldn't you say?)
Well it's that same board where its supposed pro black conscious members call each other 'coon' 'negro' and '******'...so maybe this little choir isn't singing with much harmony and certainly are singing from the same hymn book!
Damb, did I just mention negro oops!
I respect them (NOI)to the fullest. The difference is, they don't CONDESCEND to Black folks and have their tongue up white people's behind, while doing it. UNLIke some other NEGROES who shall remain nameless.
No need for anonymity speak your mind!
I'm very much for unity, but I'm not for unity with people who don't share my priorities/agenda/core outlook/beliefs.
That's like saying I love africans, but only africans who think, look, walk and talk like me! Thats not unity, thats a gang!
I suppose the other members of this gang want the right to retain the right to call other africans 'coon' and 'negro'. You lot must be rather P1ssed at the movement to stop africans calling each other n1gger! Guess your little clique must think these people have their tongue up white people's behind too.
I don't give a damn if they are as Black as the street pavement. It's not necessary. There is no such thing as that kind of unity anyway.
I suppose that explains our lack of progress over the years. Everyone is too busy looking for some kind of hard hitting image..too many tribes and not enough kingdoms.
Our ancestors thought the same way, must be genetic or something! Oh well...
