I agree...

However, I would also have to agree that the people I encountered during my tumble voyage, they rock as well.

They are just a tad bit crumbled

Loyalty of African America Women to African American Men literally killing them…

How do I love thee let me count the ways….

3 ways loyalty of African American Women to African American men are killing them

1) Physically-70% of new AIDS cases are African American Women-Most African American women date AA men and often times our hope to marry a strong, good AA man leaves of in a precarious position in that we in essence are all dating the same pool of men-many of us won’t date outside our race and (not all) but quite a few AA men have no problem dating outside and inside the race-which brings various issues to the table when you are not monogamous.
Socially-Finacially-70% of AA women are the head of the household- which means socially and mentally we are killing ourselves because (for the rest please visit - Thestateofblackamerica.blogspot.com) This is a new blog that I find interesting

Easy solution: ALWAYS protect yourself physically, socially, and financially regardless of who you date. Love yourself and be loyal to yourself before loving and being loyal to a man of any race or ethnicity.

<---loyal to black men because there isn't a shortage of good ones out there

As far as my being called a closet racist and a clown, it doesn't phase me coming from a bunch of wanna be professors and fake scholars.

I tried to redirect the topic for the longest, it was your obsessed colleague who kept it up. I am very stubborn so I do have the stamina to keep going, even if it is all for nothing. However, nothing is not always for nothing and we even learn from the time we think we have wasted. What I have learned is, you are all a team of phonies who keep evading my question. I asked a question which no one seems to be able to deal with. I wonder why?




Those British people for the purposes of political reasons, as well as for many other underlining reasons, they are fighting for the right to become as South African as the real South Africans. They are fighting to be referred to as South Africans. This very same thing happened to the Aboriginals of Australia.

How does the above relate to this idea of "social constructs, social construction?


Help me out here, I am only trying to learn what this social construction B/S seems to be about.

Sista,
Why are you trying to learn what the "social construction b/s" is all about from the fake scholar-wannabe professor-phonies. Since you think we don't know what we are talking about, why don't you pick up a book and find out for yourself, an intelligent, proactive woman would. If you need some help, some authors to start with are Michael Omni and Howard Winant. Also, Marilyn Halter has a good book about the Cape Verdean-American struggle with race and ethnicity where she touches on the discussion of race being a social construct.

Ch2tf,

From one fake scholar-wannabe professor to another, good chit. You made us look good. Whew! I was getting worried that we were losing the battle to an asinine precocious perpetrating clown whose statements are only perniciuos to herself.

They are wonderful but Sista might get confused if she's having a hard time in this thread.

I argue she should start with Joe Feagin and Eduardo Bonilla-Silva. They do introductory level textbooks.

Feagin & Feagin was my Sociology of Race & Ethnicity text ... decent book However, she still may be confused. And it would probably offend her, besides.

I was being sarcastic.
I'm not trying to learn anything from you guys concerning social construction.

What I said was just a way to redirect you guys from your calling me names. I figured, have you guys think I want to learn something and then your little egos would stop the name calling and actually come to my aid. None of you guys paid attention to my roll eyse face after the post or you did yet you missed the tone of sarcasm. I am not mad at you guys at all and I hope you are not mad with me.


I think you know what you are talking about, in terms of knowing what you have been taught. I didn't mean at all that what you have been taught seems to be the real deal and therefore I am open to learn more about it. I understand deep down below, what this social construction is all about. That is why I asked you to tell me how is it right or socially acceptable for British settlers to get a way with renaming their self South Africans? It is not right for them to do that and if we let people get away with thinking that because they forced their way into someone else's country and been there for a long time that that makes it okay for them to now say they are original Africans, we would really be setting our self op for future damage.

Social Construction is seems to be a well put together sociological theory that was put together not only for good converstation and food for thought but also to justify the theft of other peoples land and to justify the same rights of the people who first occupied that land. Political rights, rights of ownership to land and so forth. Social Construction, it is a set up.


How many black people do you know that stole land and then wanted to claim they were the originals to that land? If black people went to Europe right now, without even trying to steal the land and just settling there, no way in the world would they be trying to claim original Europenas to that land and if they did, they wouldn't even be able to get away with it.

First of all the "title" South African is NOT a race but a NATIONALITY. We were speaking on RACE as a social construct (i.e. black, white, latino, asian, etc.) White people, descendents of British settlers, and anyone else born in S. Africa are South Africans (national identity), just like a person born in the U.S is an American, just like someone born in Mexico is a Mexican. What you are talking about, from what I gather from your post(s) is colonization issues not 'race' issues. It may appear to be a 'race' issue because the parties involved are of different 'races', but what you seem to be concerned with is colonization. In many cases a discussion of 'race' runs parallel to that of colonization but they are not one in the same.
