Sellouts?
OK, OK. I confess.... I WATCH OH DRAMA! I know that a lot of you ladies may hate the show, and I admit that I used to hate it too. I am not too particular about it now even. But I must say that some nights there are interesting topics being discussed on the show. That's where I got the idea for this thread.
The show discussed what is a sellout and what makes you a sellout. There was this guy on the show that did a "scientific study" for a book called "The Sellout Diaries." It claims that "a sellout is one that (a) does something to bring harm to his race, culture, etc., (b) dates outside of his/her race, and/or does things that would be uncharateristic of his/her race."
Johnnie Cochran's daughter was on there because she was labled as sellout for dating white men. You can also be labeled as a sellout for being Republican. There is also a list of "sellout cities." If you are an African-American and you live in some of these cities, you are a sellout. The list goes on and on.
What do you think about "sellouts?" Is there such a thing? What do you consider a sellout?
