So you're saying you don't believe that people do it?

Yeah, I absolutely believe people do it. DSTCHAOS just asked if I thought that what she said was asinine. If she actually believes that black people are the real, hip and trendsetting people and that we should "act black" to be accepted by said black people.......then yeah.....I think that is a pretty ridiculous belief.

I didn't gather that from her post.

Being black will allow you more fun and the acceptance by the people who are real, hip and trend setting, those people being, black people.

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. In coming to us, they will attempt to prove to us that they are "cool" and can relate to us.

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?

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?

Not clever at all on your behalf. Why didn't you quote the entire posted quote?

This is the entire quote below which you partially referred to...

"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?"


The highlighted part is the whole point. The point was not that that there is a such thing as acting black.

Ohhhhh...so that is the depth of your point and there's nothing substantial that comes before and after it? Well, thank God that you're in this thread. You've added so much to it.
