Jesus....no I didn't say that. It came across to me like she was saying it was cool to act black because that is how you are allowed more fun and are able to be accepted by those that are "real, hip and trendsetting." Then she had to add that those said people are black. Sorry, I just don't believe that blacks are the only trendsetting, real people out there.

If I misunderstood what she was saying then by all means, enlighten me.....

I didn't gather that from her post. :cool:

I did

Well, SHE might believe that blacks are the "real, hip and trendsetting" people. I don't know if she was just stating what others believe or what she believes.

It is true that in certain settings it is the black people who are the hip, trendsetters or ASSUMED to be. Those settings include society's take on sports, certain music and dance forms, certain phrases, and certain styles of dress that have become accepted. These are the hip and trendy aspects of what many people think of when you say "black people." Many people certainly don't think of business (unless they saw some magazine cover with hip hop moguls, etc.) and academics (unless they remember some "smart black person" they've read about) because they have a limited exposure to these aspects of "black people."

None of what I typed should be confused with blacks being THE real, hip trendsetters of Western civilization. So instead of being stuck on that rather minute part of Sista's post, you should focus on her overall message. :)

Again, she could've been typing as the voice of the people who believe that or expressing her opinion. She has yet to clarify.

The point remains that those who DO think being black means we have some insight on things like rhythm and effortlessly finding cool Air Force Ones, will undoubtedly come to us if they want to know about rhythm and Air Force Ones. :cool: In coming to us, they will attempt to prove to us that they are "cool" and can relate to us.

Hm. I didn't get that from what she wrote, but going back and reading it again, I suppose it could be taken that way.

I got that she felt that black people should not accept nonblack people who try to "act black" in order to try to get in with black people who they perceive as being real, hip, and trendsetting. I could be wrong about this interpretation ... Sista?

Acting black, what exactly is that?

While you are at it, tell me what is acting White?

By the way, do you also know what it is to be acting Asian?

Please, by all means enlighten us.:rolleyes:

I didn't get what you just said, what exactly is your point?


Are you saying that acting black is equal to ignorance, not knowing or not properly speaking the English language?


Oh I can see for my self now, you do think acting black is ignorance, all right, gotcha ;)

Who said anything about loyalty? I think you have some kind of issue with African people as well as African American people and black people period. Where are you from, who are you? Or do you even know your self?:D


Did I ask you your opinion? Did I ask you if it is okay for me to identify and have loyalty to Africa?

Who made you the master of what is okay and what is not?

Who are you supposed to be?

I am rather annoyed with you and I get the impression you only responded to my post in order so that you could make it known that you are not your brothers keeper.:eek:

What are you, some type of Neanderthal:confused:

I think you might have missed her use of quotes.

You need to calm down psycho. Your post could have easily been interpreted as talking about people "acting black". How you don't know what that means is kind of beyond me.

Watch MTV.........white people on their love to act black.

A White kid decked out in FUBU, Sean John, and Phat Farm with a white doorag, Timbalands, and a half sideways flat billed baseball cap, whom only listens to screwed and chopped freestyle rap, sips Crunk Juice and tries to talk like TI = "Acting Black"

I am so glad that there are actually some critical thinkers in this forum.;) Thank you for breaking down what my post was really all about.

You are right, I was not speaking from my voice, I was speaking as the voice of the people who actually believe that black people are this, or black people are that, or black people are better at this and terrible at that. What ever it is they feel that they lack which will make them more of a real person, they feel as though having someone black around them will fulfill what they lack. It is another form of slavery, yet it is very subtle and believe it or not, some black people cheerfully take these roles in which they rescue or save non black people from their boring lives. You can see this happening in the rapp music industry if you look very closely.


I was at the gym the other day and I met this Latino girl, she was telling me about this dude she had just broken up with and how immediately after their break up, he got married to some other woman. She then began telling me about how good he was in bed and how she is so angry with him for doing her like he did her after she had been with him for 5 years. Finally, she says to me he was African American. The first thing that went through my head was, "Oh shyt, this woman wants me to console her and help her to figure out why this black man did this to her" After all, I am a black woman so I would surely know right? She then went on to tell me that the brotha' married a black woman and at times through out the conversation she referred to that woman as a bytch. She later stated to me that she only wants a black man that she couldn't even imagine a penis not black going up in her. I led her on even more so in order to get her more comfortable with being who she really is, that being a exploiter of black men. Then I wounded up showing her some pictures of my African male friends who come straight from the mother land. She was telling me how fine and black they were and she had concluded that she was interested in an African from the continent, that from looking at their pictures, she thinks she would be more so attracted to them. She even asked me to hook her up.

If you are all wondering, I did ask her why didn't she like Latino men and her answer was, get this "They have small dycks and they are not fun"

Does this woman not know what she was doing and basically saying? Did she actually think I as a black woman took all she said as a comment to black men?

Ooookay, so Sista is a complete idiot and needs to go to the lunatic farm.

Moving on...this was a good discussion.

Psycho? Well look what we have hear, the perfect gentleman :rolleyes:


In your original post, you asked me a question which was, "are you talking about acting black?" Before I could answer your question, you proceeded on to answer it for me.


Conclusion: Only guilty people tend to accuse people of what they themselves really are but would rather keep it a secret. You accused me of being a psycho. Only a Psycho would pose a question verbally or in text and the then answer his own question shortly after.:D

Shut up, idiot.

Either you really are a psycho or just play one when you post on Greekchat.
