watch out, the "reverse racism" brigade is going to come in here crying.

Yep.

I know I tend to skim, especially when an article is long - LOL.

Teeheeheeharhar. :p

What was "impressive" about what Wolfman typed?

What he typed was very accurate as it speaks to Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man. It is what racial and ethnic minorities (especially blacks) have been saying for decades. It isn't, however, the same thing that YOU articulated in your initial post. ;)

One of the FEW?! :rolleyes: As compared to the plethora of stand-up guys in the white community, right?

Greekchat's such a great place.

The people who thought of the award are still insensitive idiots.

Hopefully there would be some outcry, but there might be less outcry because whites (in general) have a different perception of threat when it comes to being the targets of racial insensitivity. It's best articulated as "your jokes MIGHT hurt my feelings if I give a damn, but you are probably in no real position to withhold anything from me in the larger society...so the REAL joke's on YOU."

Name a stand-up black guy.

Your daddy.

^^^^^

****snicker***

Stand-up Black Men
 

Thomas Sowell
Walter Williams
Emmitt Smith (I'm a Cowboys fan)
John McWhorter

Good call, but I can bet you very few others know him. Also, I only like him on basis of political beliefs so that doesn't make a big case.

Re: Re: Re: And the Blackest Chi Omega Award Goes To...
 

me too...

I wonder how many people know who Walter Williams and John McWhorter are?

Bill Cosby's definitely a good one...he was mentioned earlier. J.C. Watts isn't bad. The head basketball coach at Ft. Worth Dunbar H.S. is good, too...I actually don't know if he's black. The guy who coached football at Yates (Houston) was a helluva coach...couldn't tell you anything else about him, though, other than he passed away several years ago.

LMAO
