''The wesley snipes joke''

Bandele · (#1 (**permalink**))

I remember in high school once a mulattoe was staring at me then said ****ing hell your blik.I would always hear people mocking other dark skins like blik and wesley.And all this was coming from ebony skins not mixed.English born jamaicains are the worst I think.

First of all, you are completely out of line referring to Black people as animals. "mulatto" compares Black people to mules- crossbred horses who are incapable of reproducing. It is a racist Spanish epithet and I do not appreciate it.

Second, you need to get over your inferiority complex. It is not Jamaican peoples' fault that you can't deal with the color of your own skin. People make ignorant comments all of the time but it does not mean that every single person from their country (in this case, Jamaica) is ignorant or color prejudiced.

So you're Black skinned, Black as midnight. So what. Get over it. Or would you rather be snow white?

skin color prejudice is some foolish stuff....but it's reality...

generalizing an entire subgroup of black people because of personal experiences with a handful of them is equally foolish..but that ocurs every day in real life and on this site.

====================

EDIT

for soem reason this thread is closed..but yank jam....where did you get this information that you posted about Wesley Snpies saying that hates Black women....it's just a rumor unless you have a direct quote.....

He has dated Asian women in the past but I don't necessarily think that this means that he hates Black women...

if I'm wrong and you know of the quote..forgive me...but this seems llike same false rumor that existed last year about Serena Williams..

You made mention of the glorious Mr Snipes who goes on record as saying he hates Black women... hmm? That's an example of "blackness" I would not use on any website.

Secondly, check the Village guidelines... do you think you have offered anythingconstructive with this thread? Any other segments you'd like to target while you're here?

Puh-leeze. ((kmt))

First of all, apart from the "one drop rule" mixed people are not black, they are bi racial. Second of all, while yes the word mulatto does have negative conotations there areplenty of mixed people refer to themselves as mulattos. It is especially common in latin american countries.
