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

Please, by all means enlighten us.

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"

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


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.

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

No but you managed to turn a good discussion into an idiotic hissy fit.

This is so funny

Ha, not your name calling but how you resort to name calling and you present yourself as the reasonable one.

Yeah so you've already responded to that post.

You're reasonable, too. Reasonably stupid.

Please, don't be vague, tell me what my issues are?

So to get this topic back on course.

I've already answered the topic but to be more detailed, I'm still not picky on black versus African American or even African diasporic if we're going beyond "race."

On a different note that relates more directly to what macallan, DSTRen and I were typing about in the last few pages (and to what folks said before that):

Instead of just focusing on the terms (black versus African American, etc.), people should examine what being of a particular group implies or entails.

These are the negatives of the title "black" because they have been used to caricature and minimize a culture and contribution of a group of people.

Why, because you said so?


You just told me that their is a before and after, if that really applies, that means it would be legitimate to conclude that the terms black versus African American etc. should also apply.

If not, your beginning and between rant was just rubbish, something for you to use in an effort to save face.

As well as where those implications come from - who creates and maintains them in our culture - and how to begin to dismantle them.
