But when did it become acceptible to beg and feel NO shame??

thats what pisses me off about this country....the lazy ass benefit culture...lets beg and claim foolishness..

The system was set up to help people who couldn't possibly help themselves but now look at it... Black people (the only people I'm concerned about), SOME have reached a level where they have NO shame...they will walk down a whole line of people and ask them for 10 and 20 pence.... it makes me cringe

When I see a woman with this shape it just drives me crazy it's the height of attractiveness so it's beyond me how the media and British society in generallike skinny women. I think it must be the black cultureie blue print it's how we like our women.

At one time back in the early 1800's I think, mixed race people in New Orleans were considered a separate category from Blacks, different laws applied to them, etc.

Quote:

This more relaxed view on race only applied in the French ruled/influenced NO, crackers outside of NO didn't recognize it, whatsoever. So these mixed race "people of coleur", or however they called themselves thought they had it made in the shade. Then one day, the white folks in New Orleans changed their minds,lol. Changed the laws and threw those fools right back in the N****r category.

Quote:

If I'm not mistaken, that is where the one drop rule originated and came from. It's how jazz came about, actually. All the mixed people who had been embracing their French/European side, having access to classical music, etc. When those classically trained/influenced mixed musicians got thrown back into the batch with the rest of the N****rs (they could no longer play in white bands/venues), the European classical style got mixed with the African styles(of theBlack musicians)and jazz was born. Like I said, this is Amerikka, fools better recognize.

me.................2 year max, same with my sis she meet her husband at 28 two years later she was married and hewas the same age.

I always knew that this was not a *black problem* and mainly when the sellouts start berating black women i just sit back and laugh.

nevertheless Abbissinia is right, hate mail has a habit of making things sound serious

i would never listen to the hate mail on their stance on immigration, so to hell and up their ass if they think i am going to listen to them telling me how i am going to feel 25 years down the line if not married.

boi oh boi those right wong conservatives really get on my nerves, they just can't stomach it when women, ethnics or whatever are actually happy and doing well for themselves...........

i mean who do they think they are *sociologists ( a bunch of oxymorons who believe their research on human behviour is absoulte fact based on a study of 4 people over a two week period during depressing winter month or when suffering from PMT......why not during Happy hour, or summer os sh*tsee how you will get different result..lol)

they give two examples and voilaaaaaaaa.

not saying that their are no women out their who want but can't get married, but put it this way, it is not a bridget jones moment all crying and weeping and sh*t........its a 8 shrug shrug oh well i will go travelling*, same with men, just because they did not get to be CEO by the age of 30 they are not going to start sobbing.

and it is a plain lie that majority of 30 something men are married to young women...........well not in my family

actually i would like to conduct a * sociology* experiment, look at your enviornment and find how many Old men are married to young women..........and if it is your family then i would advice to disown, don't want that sh*t passed down the generation.

Pronto!

I agreethat the tanning may be to copy a Mediterrean look, but the lip plumping andbum enlargements is probably something they picked up from blacks. You forget thata lot of these fadsstarted in Americawhere whitesand blacks have been living along-side each otherfor a very long time.When different cultures live close to each other, they tend to rub of, of each other. And white people are just as subject to this as everyone else. This is why everywhere I turn, I see a white person with dreadlocks and sometimes white women with braids.

Quote:

I think rap musicmight have something to do with the big ass thing because rappers just can't seem to talk about anything else. And you know that whenpeople hear something long enough, they start to believe it. As for the big lips, as far as I know whites have been talking about thatfor sometime. Iknew this white girl who would find some way to bring out howshe wanted "pouty" lipslike mine no matter the conversation. She acutally made me feel quite uncomfortablebecauseI'm not usedto females talking aobut my lips. Lol. Anyway,other white girls I know also talkabout Angalina Jolie's andRenee Zelwegger's lips.

Quote:

Thething I find with whites, is that they look for "ethnic features" amongst their own peoplebefore they'll accept it as attractive.They arenot like us whopredominately look for non-Africanpeople to find attractive features.If they cannot finda specific featureamongst themselves, they will not be able to pretend thatthey are not seeking another race's look. Therefore, they will not promote it. They also like touse"code" words for these featuresin order toseparatethem fromtheirethnic status and makethem more European.For example,they use such words as "pouty" when refering to big lips and "bronzer" when refering to products whichare essentially intended togive them brownish skin.

Quote:

Anyway, I don't think this is going to stop any time soon. White companies make a killingfrom instilling insecurities in white women andall women. Theycannot make money if they sit around and tellwomen tobe happy with the way they are. Theylook at what is considered desirable in each culture and then proceed to marketit,especially if it is something that the majorityof the women of that culture do not have.They'll market lighter skin for black women, daker skin for white women,bigger eyes for Far East Asian women and so on.And what's really sad is thatno matterwhat they do,many of us will fall for it.

Quote:

Butthis is not to say that white people suffer from the same insecurities as us. All thisis justa fad for them, while for us it is cultural. White people, like I said, go with whatever their media tells them, and their media changes very quickly. We on the other hand, have these problems deeply ingrained in our culture and it much harder to changethese norms than media influenced ones.

I don't have a link just yet but basically a rasta by the name of Simon Wilson was arrested by six slices of bacon for playing Boom Bye Bye in his own home. Supposedly he's guilty for racially aggravated harrassment under the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 and harrassment under the Protection of Harrassment Act 1997.

Damn.....if your gay or Jewish these days you've got it made.

I wonder what would happen if I called the police if some 'black' wannabe was blasting hip hop music that gratitously used the n word and advocated the murder of n words?

Another thought, on that exchange with Dr. Muhhammad and the biracial girl. I'm convinced that a big part of the reason that people come at you the way they do, is based on them being able to sense ambivalence or lack of resoluteness on your part. That biracial girl probably already knew from her past experiences of dealing with BLack men,that it was UNLIKELY that Dr. Muhhamad was going to respond to someoone of her phenotype, negatively(in spite of his anti white stance). Kind of like the negative comments Tupac made about Quincy jOnes, back in the day, chastising him for "screwing nothing but white women", etc. One of Q's biracial daughter's confronts Tupac on it and defends her father, and Pac ends up falling for her,lol. They start dating, etc. He forgets all about being mad at Quincy and his penchant for only dating white women....His view probably changed to " thank God for Quincy and his white women, look at what a beautiful specimen it produced,lol.

Beyond that, being wishy washy and not staunch in your response on issues, ENCOURAGES, people to continue to come at you with foolishness. Ntozake Shange, author of "For Colored Girls Who have Considered Suicide", made this point expertly on a talk show back in the day. SHe and 3 other BLack panelists were on a show on BET talking about AFrican AMericans, Gullah culture and the connection to West Africa.(Shange's peeps are South CArolina Gullah/Geechie). Anyway, there was a white British author on the panel who kept interjecting and questioning how the Blacks on the panel could be so sure of these connections to certain parts of West AFrica, wanted to know why they were calling themselves AFrican American when they didn't know what part of AFrica their people came from, etc.(They were discussing herbal remedies, salves, cooking techniques passed down from their grandparents, etc). Everyone else on the panel kept answering the white dude and trying to explain things. Shange ignored him for the WHOLE show, it was hilarious. At one point, she turned to the Black female host and asked: "why is he here?" If all of the other panelists had done what she did, that white man would have shut his damn mouth, and stayed out of business that didn't concern him.

Later on she said that she believes that the reason that White people CONTINUE to insert themselves in our affairs and ask all kinds of idiotic, asinine,condescending,patronizing questions about us and our culture, our behavior, is because we CONTINUE TO ANSWER THEM,lol. She says it has trained them to feel entitled to an explanation or translation of all things Black. It encourages them in their arrogance and perception of themselves as the center of the world and arbiteur of all things. She said she refuses to do that.

Quote:

Her basic stance is if you can't understand something that pertains to us, it's because it wasn't meant for you, or it's none of your damn business, in the first place.

Quote:

If enough of us took her attitude and stance, their constant poking their nose into our affairs would cease and desist, because they would know that they were going to be shut down, made to look/feel stupid, or out and out ignored.

25 years ago this thing was found primarily in gay white men...now its primarily in the black community particularly in black women.

Is it just me or does this NOT make any frigging sense whatsoever?
How come NO ONE is questioning why or how?

How does a disease jump from one demographic to another (SKIPPING OVER white women mind you)?

If a disease that was primarily found in gay black men suddenly started infecting hetero white women in huge numbers there would be congressional hearings, exposes' and funded scientific investigations into finding out:

HOW this happened...
WHO is responsible...
and HOW can you send it BACK (not stem it or eradicate it but put it BACK into its original population).

Yet so far it seems to me that all we get is stats and numbers that don't add up and its accepted.

Big L was more than just a rapper, he was a true poet. his freestyle was his strongest asset. Big L flowed with absolute class, and at times switched it to delivery a nice punch line. he was raw and real, talk about life on the materialistic, sociological and psychological level. He never had a criminal record and left the streets alone to concentrate on rapping. Living in Harlem, USA life is hard for young teens more so than any British city or "Ghetto".

he had a record label called Flamboyant, as his style of rapping reflects that. Big L had plans to sign many underground rappers, he had a song called platinum plus and there’s one line that amazes me "My underground N****rs you can shine with me, i got my own label so sign with me, you gotta take it from the bottomand climb with me, that's fine with me, that's how it was design to be". And the root reason he never signed with Columbia records was a) they where pushing him in direction he did want to go, b) they wouldn’t sign his friends.

Hewasn’ta negative rapper as so many of those hip-hop lead heads of today. He was a controlled, calculating, rhyming genius in my opinion. i don't think there will never be someone like him again.
