Hey, I'm gonna jump in and try 'splainin' what Brotha TOP is talkin' bout...
True dat, some negroes speak and cain't be deciphered as to WHAT they are. However, I raise this question, is it so much how they say it opposed to what they say that makes a negro??? Think of Clarence Uncle Thomas, and JC Watts.
And from an Afrikan Centered perspective, spiritually speaking, can you hide from the Universe and escape your destiny? Can a Lion sleep with a Tiger if that is all there is available? Will a gazelle ever "evolve" into a giraffe?
So, as far as some negro adopting Euro-pee-on traits as his own, and tryin' to become an oppressor --the anti affirmative action participant--OR Black on paper, we in the struggle havta let that negro go. He must have the choice to be lost in the assimilated maze of EuroSerendipity (read as enslavement)...
Here's another question, why do WE have to be unified? Or rather Alcee Hastings' question at the "State of Black America"--Is there a Black Community anymore?
Isn't multiculturalism--or diversity--what our parents, grandparents and ancestors marched, fought, and died for??? Can't we all just get along???
(I am just raising these questions to see folks answers, not 'cuz I really believe all of them...)
