Co-sign on what Tru3playboy said….that’s so pathetic, though. They should all be prosecuted anyway for even admitting to firing on other citizens without proof that their property or persons were in any iminent danger!

@tru… tell me about it co-signing 100 percent!

I’m from New Orleans and I can testify that this clip is very real. Growing up and still to this day, you would never catch me in Algiers or St. Bernard, it has always been a little backwards before and after Katrina!!!!!!

DEAR GOD, IF YOU ARE THERE…. STRIKE THEM PLEASE, STRIKE THEM CRACKERS DOWN DEAR GOD!!!!

This is why I have a gun permit. And a gun to go with it.

Who waan rump wit meh? lol

Da fukkk! Y haven’t these people been prosecuted? O right….because te cops were doin the same thing. I almost forgot. Now they sellin their land and demolishing their homes and smilin to boot.

This is pathetic and pisses me off! The fact that were able to do this and were told by police to just put the bodies to the side is ridiculous! No white people were killed in this neighborhood and plenty of them didn’t live there. You have a right to bear arms within your home not on your block. If you were in your home and felt it was threatened then you can rightfully disarm the threat, not even kill unless they attacked you with a deadly weapon. These muskrats were out in the street waiting for a black spec to appear.They are cowards and they enjoyed wait they did for the mere fact that they would tell them to run and shoot them in their backs. God will put a horrible wrath on them and they will be sorry. Nasty crackers.

Our troops spending so much time for “IRaqi Freedom” yet we have more problems in our own country. I guess the oil over there is more important than American lives.

@adiamondcenter:

I feel ya mama! F_ck the bullsh_t. I’m on that Black Panther/Revolution game, ya heard?

Trust that if ANY white person dare come THIS way????? It’s a wrap fa sho! There will be a new meaning to Get Me Bodied.

LOL@ ILL, whas up. I couldn’t agree more
why is this suppose to surprise me, o i forgot racism doesn’t exist.

So I wonder what they would have done if they saw some whites walking thru their neighborhood? Because they were some whites doing some looting oh excuse me they were finding food for their families (SMH) during Katrina.

People always say oh Why do black people pull the race card? Why do black people think all whites are evil and out to get them…THATS WHY!

The white man aint nothing but the DEVIL’s offspring!!!

They were just protecting their neighborhood and way of life. Hoods should stay in the hood and stay out of neighborhoods, pure and simple.

You know MissBlaze43, I understand you to an extent, sure SOME people took things they needed, however, there was a large percentage of people who used Katrina as OPEN SEASON to loot for televisions, play stations, cars, etc.

My uncle stayed during Katrina and had to shoot at blacks and whites who tried to enter into his home and take stuff.

It’s very dangerous to make Katrina into some sort of race war because not all black people were innocent victims of angry white men and not all white men were shooting at black people just because.

blah..blah

they have the video!! why arent those people in jail? the should be hanged.

@ raquel 26 ….Hell yea ….you gave me the chills …..that’s what I am saying ….the problem is that there are to many house nicca in the world and in this thread……but me and you and a few more soldierson this thread know whats up …when the time comes ..you will see me and I will see you fighting for the same thing…….We stand for something because we wont fall for anything….til death stay strong…………

dubya,
I understand where you are coming from and I’m glad your uncle stood and protected his home the right way which was shooting at people who entered his home unlawfully. He has the right to do that and protect his property.

The fact that the people were riding around in trucks outside of their homes shooting people they they didn’t recognize as being part of their city. What makes it a race war was that they were shooting at black people who did live in Algiers. They didn’t ask every person what’s your address so I can verify it or anything they just shot. Now all white people that were running around in that city could’ve been looters as wel, but they were automatically assumed to have been a resident because of their skin color. That’s what made it a race war.

Laws are made for a reason. You don’t have the right to shoot at a random looter or who you assume to be a looter, whether you have a permit or not unless they are a threat to YOUR home.

Adiamondcenter

blah..blah

I’ll make sure to put that on your gravestone after i shoot your looting ass, n*gger.

i think ADIAMONDCENTER needs to go thru algeirs point during our next hurricane

————————————————-
Thank you Lady Architect for responding civilly. But these vigilantes were not all white. There were black and white people protecting their neighborhoods and both black and white people riding around and shooting looters.

With all due respect, I really don’t think you understand just how bad the violence was after Katrina hit. It was a WAR zone. People looting, killing, raping, beating up. It even happened within government protected areas (like the superdome).

I do think some of the people shot were innocent but by that time, they were just profiling because a large percentage of those looting were black.

You are right though, more questions should have been asked before opening fire, however, during times of distress, you take anyone out the resembles the enemy.

And, we are just supposed to take these two guys’ testimony as the truth? Where is the proof that they were innocent.

I try not to pull out the race card unless it is something I can prove beyond a reasonable doubt.

All I am saying is that there are two sides to this story.

@ New Orleans ..lol…..sooooo ready……I just dont post whatever ..I am serious about mine….

@adiamondcenter

“and they don’t got a criminal record”.. what is that a shocker?
you ignorant as hell.. watch one of your kids bring home a white gurl anyways.. and i woudl love to see the look on your face..

…Don’t get mad these are my opinions …I dont want to get ripped off by no one but… If I had to choose I would choose to get ripped off by my own..at least it would go to another black family and not to a whitey who in our pass has kept us in slavery and today they continue and try to keep us in poverty……my opinion deal with it…….I aint looking for approval or feedback…….

@Shay..

I wasn’t writting about you.. i was posting about “adiamondcenter”..
it is unfair out there.. good that your teaching your children that, i teach mine the same thing…

…WTF…..I was just letting ya know incase you was wondering and they both graduated from school..and trust honey they can’t stand the skin of a white chick ..they both got black queens…..They respect the black queen ….don’t hate

@Wally George:

…and you wont get any where far with hollow points swiss-cheesin’ you up. I’ll be right behind ya….

@adiamondcenter: *putting up blak fist*

I feel you on that…..I say leave them house negroes to roost and while they are shaking in their boots, locked up in they houses, hoping the “white cop” will help them out, I’ll be dressed in all black, with a rifle. Fighting for America?

Nah, fighting for MY freedom. Black folks will bang on each other but wont bang on them though.

*smirking*

They STILL scared. Talk BIG sh_t in here though.

*black

@ WTF ….great hope your don’t run into mine …so be it may……peace

whut up Raquel26!!

…@ all honkies….be kind ….we will be kind……but get rowdy and we will get rowdy ….being… my 4 sons + 5 shot guns+ 5 pitbulls + other shyte..= ..that ass!!!!!!

dubya,
Thanks for thew alsoc civil response. You are correct about me not knowing everything that went on down there because I don’t live there. I can only go off of what hass been said and shown. The problem I found is that the media showed only the black people that were looting and I was upset at them looting. At the same time white people were looting also. In fact they did a live report and caught a white man talking about how he broke into a grocery store to get food for his starving family. It caught the reporter off guard and they labeled it as “a means of survival” while calling black people vultures. Also after that live report they never showed that clip again on any news coverage I saw. I understand that there were black and white people killing intruders of their homes, but specifically in this case the clip that I just watched was more of a racial issue. We agree that no questions were asked and if you were white (who was probably poor and looting) you were asked no questions and if you were black you were automatically assumed the enemy. There were a large percentage of black and white people looting its just that the media had fun showing the black people only. I don’t often pull out the race card either, but even without the the whole story and just the white people talking alone gave them away. They admitted to killing n****** not looters which showed that they were going after blk ppl only.

Why are you n*ggers getting so bent out of shape because we whites were protecting our property? Unlike most of you coons, we work hard for what we got. Remember, you n*ggers have your job, which is looting and raping, and we whites have our job, which is protecting our homes and possesions and if that means killing some of you looting n*ggers, then so be it. It all comes out in the wash. It about being racist, it’s about protecting yours.

@Nina and Diamond:

This is why I’m glad that I was never really the one to be brainwashed by anything, or anyone. I love my black people, even though some of us can be dumb as f_ck, but hey….I’m not perfect neither.

But I’ll be DAMNED if I let a white person run up on me trying to do bodily harm to me. I’m just saying…if anything breaks out, I’m prepared.

You other n_ccas better get ready too. No offense, but dont sleep.

that video got me heated!

hey hey ILL

im up on that soap, there are a few african soaps or black soaps I like. I buy castille sometimes also but there’s one i like a lot right now dont know the name of it i threw the wrapper away….and im drinking water from my shower right now…because ive got a very good filter on it..and im out of bottled

o yeah about the topic at hand, of course the fear of whitey still holds true….there’s a number of things blacks will do to their own but never to whites…

I can’t people are actually joking about people losing their lives. . .

Point taken. I see what you mean. Thank you Lady Architect!

Why should we have to defend the act of defending ourselves??? Asenine. Self preservation should come as natural as breathing. If a gun is pointed at me (for ANY reason) and I’m not reaching for mine then I am the fool. Sad part is, the averages say that I’ll be pointing back at somebody that looks like me as opposed to some racist redneck (smh)…….we need a reality check.

Lady Architect

We had all the rights in the world to ride around and protect our neighborhood from the looting n*ggers. I find it funny that you never here about us whites venturing into n*ggerville to loot and rape, but for some reason yall feel it’s ok to come in our neighborhood and do dirt. Well not on our watch.

Also, Rep. John Conyers issued a response last week to The Nation’s report:

http://www.thenation.com/doc/20090105/thompson3

Responding to an investigation published in The Nation into vigilante violence after Hurricane Katrina, Rep. John Conyers Jr. issued a public statement Thursday, expressing concern. The investigation details how, after the storm struck, some white residents in the Algiers Point neighborhood of New Orleans repeatedly attacked African-American men.

In interviews, eyewitnesses–including some of the vigilantes themselves and two men who were blasted with a shotgun–describe a string of shootings in which at least eleven people were wounded or killed. A video accompanying the report features interviews with some of the vigilantes, including one who says, “It was great! It was like pheasant season in South Dakota. If it moved, you shot it.”

“I am deeply disturbed by the reported incidents in Algiers Point, Louisiana following Hurricane Katrina,” said Conyers, a Michigan Democrat, and chair of the House Judiciary Committee.

@Wally George:

Oh…hey! You forgot some…..dont forget that white people have:
1) F_cked up the economy with their greediness, lies, and narcisstic attitudes.
2) F_cked up our relations with other countries
3) Allowed for torturing of Iraqis (although this is the same thing we tried to stop Saddam from doing; you f_ckin white bastards)

And do you REALLY want me to contintue?? Because I can. But you should already know just how grimey your folks are from history. Read up.

Talk about looting and stealing! Huh. Are you retarded or just intellectually challenged?

If anything, we have to steal back what you f_ckers stole from us! Which is…*thinking* EVERYTHING. Of course, you wont admit it. Why would you?

And your quote exactly….”ITS ABOUT BEING RACIST, ITS ABOUT PROTECTING YOURS”.

My sentiments, exactly. Let a little cracker TRY and do something over this way. *laughing*…..

…let me stop. For real. Because I can get evil on this b_tch about ALL the things I’d do. Cheney would be looking for me after learning of my torture tactics.

*SMILE*

I’m disgusted, appaled, saddened and completly peturbed by the whole thing. For anyone who thinks racism is dead I encourge you read the papers, look at the news, visit historically racially divided places. I feel for anyone who lets ignorance guide thier lives.

…man…nina and raquel 26….I am proud to be called your SISTA…..our ppl truly does some dunb shyte……but baby ….they never lose my heart entirely…..I am all for ppl becomming one….but truly..the day of “black awareness” is commin and black pple better be ready …better be ready….BLACKS better b ready ….and I hope if your in a mixed relationship that your WHITE man or your WHITE woman will stand beside you and fight or will they then see the true actions of their WHITE partners…huh

…watching the brothers reaction as he was watching the video broke my heart…

Oh and I had to add this for the person who asked “How can they be looting if everything is under water.” The whole entire city was not underewater. For example the French Quarters was not underwater, and there are actually a lot of department stores in that area that were looted. Research, I don’t know just saying.

…@ sydney ..I like you because you always state the facts …calmly and classy ……good…….. let me do the extreme… I can’t help myself…I am straight to the point boldly and I love it…
thanks thou 4 posting the truth…..

Here’s a link to a profile of death of Henry Glover:

http://www.thenation.com/doc/20090105/thompson2

And here’s an article printed last week on The Root, theroot.com, with the reporter who wrote the article in The Nation, A.C. Thompson. The below quotes are from Thompson regarding his months-long investigation:

Thompson: One thing that came across to me was that people didn’t know each other very well. You had white folks in a neighborhood who didn’t know their black neighbors who lived a couple blocks away. There was this chasm between races, and I think that may have fed the fear that people had.

But another thing that was whipping up hysteria at the time were the media reports—and some of the worst media offenders were Mayor Ray Nagin and Ed Compass, who was then the police chief. They were saying the sky is falling; there is mass disorder and horrible behavior out there. And what the vigilantes told me is, “We heard this stuff on TV, and we thought it was the apocalypse.” Multiple white people told me also they were listening to one radio station that was still on and people were calling the radio station and reporting these horrible things that had supposedly occurred. It turned out that a lot of these things were completely apocryphal—were rumors of rumors of rumors. Yet these things are going on the air, so they have this imprimatur of the media.

Wright: You said in the article you’ve spent 10 years reporting crime and have never seen anything like this in terms of uninvestigated cases.

Thompson: It’s very rare that people will admit to you, “Oh, I witnessed this serious felony or shooting or attempted murder.” It’s very rare that you’ll find people who’ll say, “I was the victim of this shooting.” And it’s even more rare that you’ll find people in all positions—people who witnessed shootings, people who participated in shootings and people who were victims of shootings—and speak to them and find out that none of them have ever talked to a cop. It was mind-boggling to me. I was flabbergasted. When people give detailed information about serious, serious felonies and they’re credible and they’re perfectly willing to share it with you, it’s very confusing and pretty amazing to realize that no law enforcement official has ever visited this person and asked them what they know.

@ dubya

I agree, I don’t know ALL that went down in Katrina either. However, I DO KNOW the mentality of a Cracker!

@ Sydney

Hey, Syd. Please add some knowledge to this nonsense.

I’m in a good mood this week since Christmas is in a few days. So Im not going to even watch the video!

Happy Holidays everybody

I read this about a week ago on Huffington Post and The Root. What bothers me, is that black men were killed,shot at and came up missing. Whites in Louisiana, were told to ‘ Pile them bodies on the side of the road, they start to stink, go ahead and shoot anybody, you need to, in order to protect your property..Don’t worry about the Police, ain’t nobody going to charge you with nothing’……..

I love how you guys love to pretend that all is well in the world of swirl..I know it’s the popular thing, to not care about racial issues…I really don;t see how this is possible when every other wee, it’s something going on because of race…And you mean to tell me, that in 2008 that whites have changed?? All you swirlers, who have to make yourselves feel better about the decision, that you have made, in regards to selling out your communities, so you can go screw whoever you like, when ish rally starts to go down, you will be considered on the other side of the team, in which you chose to play…the rest of you, buckle up, the ride doesn’t get any easier….Yeah we made history, when has this type of ish, ever STOPPED?? Obama won and racial injustice will still prevail…

BTW: Wasn’t Faggot ass Ne-Yo on here the other day with his shiny ass lips, talking about how only light-skinned kids are the best??Our own people are full of self-hate and denial, but swirl to all things not black…Good luck with that, you’ll need it..Some of you, not all of you, will find when it’s not a relationship of convienence anymore, you will not be so well received…

It’s 2008 and This country will NEVER change….

MissBlaze43

Just like i know the character of you graham crackers. That’s why i don’t allow them in my house unless they’re grouded up into crust.

@Adiamondcenter

No problem. The truth is this wasn’t about “protection” — some people decided to go on a killing spree, much like what has occurred in other periods of our history (i.e. lynchings).

There’s nothing humorous about this tragedy at all. The fact that this occurred in the 21st century is not only sobering, it’s horrific.

Some of these comments are dumbfounding. Really.

And, from the many posts I’ve sen on here, this blog is white-owned, so if it’s “racist” then who is really behind the offense?

If you people want racial harmony, then stay in n*ggerville. Don’t mess with us and we won’t shoot when yall loot.

@Wally George:

Yeah…I knew I had you because you are on repeat from the last post.

Didnt you say the same thing? Nothing else smart to say?

And the fact that you called me a b_tch, shows that your mental only goes a short way. You had nothing else of substance in there.

Muthaf_cka, go find the Beaver.

@ always knew

LMAO @ all is good in the world of swirl. Go back up and read my posts – you’ll see that I basically said the exact same thing. Most people seem to have forgotten what “the mentality of a cracker” is.

Damn shame.

HEEEEY Sydney, dont try to get missin on us!

@adiamondcenter:

You know? That’s what I always thought about mixed relationships? Like, would your spouse stick up for you if something popped off?

Hmmmm…..

@Purp

Girl, I think I’m done. 2009 is nearly here, and it’s time for new beginnings, and if there’s one thing I CANNOT tolerate, it’s willful and deliberate ignorance.

Hmph!!

MissBlaze43

Give me a break. Yall look at a slanted 8 min. video depicting some shot up looting n*ggers and decide to condemn all us God fearing whites who are only guilty of protecting what we got. If you n*ggers had your way it would be open house for all you looting coons.

…..@walley ..oooh how I wait for u to travel ….and say that in front of me oooo how I wait…..

Yes, protecting your house means you STAY on your property and protect your property, not drive around with a ‘posse’ looking for black people to shoot and kill.

But like I said, even if it was about protection, let black people get together to protect theirs with guns and bats – they’ll still lock that black ass up – if they don’t shoot you first.

@ILL,
im down to only two kinds of water that i get from the healthfood store or trader Joes. One’s pure new zealand glacier or something like that and the other one is an alkalized water. I don’t even do the sink filter anymore because I get tired of replacing it. Buuuut, I am saving money to get one of the water machines which is probably the best way to go next to going to a clean spring and bottling it urself. Im trying to get away from the plastic bottles….

Damnn I would love to shake Assatas hand ….sometimes I think shes my mother…….

@ Whitey George

YEAH!!!

always knew

It’s just funny to me that there is always reasoning and excuses for the evil that white people do…I find it amazing that they shoot and kill blacks with no warning or repercussions, of their actions…

What’s the big deal? You n*ggers shoot each other without warning in n*ggerville all the time. I’ll tell you what. We whites will hire us some attack n*ggers to protect our neighborhood during the next Katrina. We didn’t know that only n*ggers was allowed to shoot n*ggers.

Some people are making light of black men — like your fathers, your brothers, or your sons — being shot in cold blood for nothing except the crime of having a darker skin tone.

Read the full article in The Nation — Some “vigilantes” decided it was a good time to do some “ni**er” hunting, and they had a good time with it (one person even e-mailed photos of a black man who had been fatally shot).

And while you’re at it, please read some historical accounts of some of atrocities that befell black men and women over generations of racist degradation. Read about Rosewood (or just watch the movie). Visit a museum exhibit about the harsh realities of life as an African American in this nation.

THAT SHOULD’VE READ “DO YOU HAVE ANY TEETH, LEFT IN THAT THING YOU CALL A HEAD??”…

Besides Wally, you f_ckers are the ONLY PEOPLE TO BURN IN THE SUN. Why is that?

Because its the CURSE that you have obtained for all the wrongdoing that you’ve done since the beginning of time.

You nasty bastards started bestiality, having sex with men, spreading diseases, etc. Stealing, lying, killing, etc.

THATS WHY YOU F_CKERS BURN….to get ya’ll f_ckers ready for HELL.

and Marquis can suck on saw-offed.

*off

(shotty, that is)

Wally George you will die a thousand deaths like George wallace, you kkk fuk face. you aint protecting sh!t, you don’t own sh!t. You think b’cuz your white trash kinfolk fuk’d over the indians, that you can do and take what ever you want… Bullsh!t. thats why your fake ass is on a blog spewing your hate. but if you see a black man walking towards you on the street you cross to the other side… you’d better.

Marquis de Sade you a b!tch too, you fukin honkey…

You n*ggers are violent and need to be put down like the rabid dogs you are.

Wally George I’ll show you violence when I track your IP address down and wrap the rebel flag around your neck you coon!
Keep thinking you can’t be touched on the internet you porch monkey baboon.

@ Spuddy

THANK YOU – THANK YOU – THANK YOU!!!

I just got through telling these folks how the Military can set up shop in your own home and there’s not a damn thing you can do about it.

Thank you SO much for setting the record straight from your end. You and your fellow brothers and sisters of the military are ALWAYS in my prayers!

I don’t know what’s going to happen once this whole Katrina nonsense is over, but you can bet your ass that something else will follow. I wonder what it’ll be and if we’ll be ready for it.

Because judging from some of these posts – our people aren’t even CLOSE to being ready for the inevitable!

*laughing*

This is FUNNY. Never let a honkey get you mad, black people. I just smile and thats worse because then they think you’re psycho, like Heath Legder in The Dark Knight. lol

Why so SERIOUS??????????????????????????????????????????????????

…@all BLACKS and BROWNS don’t get mad just give them the fact….see ppl like wally don’t like themselves….be passive and let him post nicca this nigger that it makes him feel great…just be ready when you see him or ppl like him…..Happy Holidays ……………

@Spuddy In Da NO

Thank You so much! I volunteered with the REDCROSS and worked during the aftermath in the N.O. and it changed my life and it also made me aware that the STRUGGLE is never over. And I’m not talking about just for Black people. The struggle is not over for the disenfranchised poor people of the world and they come in all colors.

im back….and i feel you Syd thats why we need u to continually put an end to ignorance…

@ blackladydoctor

I know that both our sisters are alive and well. I was just using them as an example of the kind of sisters that I will follow to the death today.

As far as Marquis de Sade – yeah – I know all about him too. God only knows why this Poster is using is his name, but ol’ Marquis de Sade had some seriously deep-rooted issues.

@alwaysknew
@adiamondcenter
@2damtrill

Ya’ll are definitely gettin it in today! lol
I’m glad to have people like you on my team (mentally) and physically if it comes down to some real live sh_t.

They dont want it. I’d take Wally and tie him/her up with barbed wire soaked in garlic (from the wounds and garlic alone he/she will be insane from pain), then hang him/her from a light pole and instead of spraying water on him/her, I will douse him/her with alcohol, repeatedly. Then I would take him/her down and smear him/her with raw meat, and decomposing food, halfway cut off his/her limbs and dump the body into a pig’s sty; those f_ckin pigs will eat his/her ass ALIVE!!

No quick kills around here. You gonna FEEL IT.

Spuddy In Da NO

HooooRah! You call that a battle cry? Where i come from it’s YEEEE HAWWWWW. Now that’s a battle cry. Come and get some.

@ ADC(ADiamondCenter)

Cosign your comments! Your bruthas up in Canada r witchu….

awwweeee. I made wally mad…everybody read I posted about wally that made him sooo made …awwweee poor baby …yes he is …yes he is….lololol everybody read the above…..

Thank you for the post, Spuddy. It was very informative.

I can’t even say that I’m angry with whites because this type of brutality has occurred throughout our history. I’m just amazed that people — supposedly black people — are so brazenly callous and willfully unaware.

And I think it’s beyond inane to try to compare what a so-called “racist” gossip blog posts to the real-life killings of real people.

Oh, and, please oh please, don’t feed the trolls. They’re laughing behind their computers, believe me.

@ Raquel 26 …Damn thats some good shyte ….girl you must be my cousin…..and @ candid Canuck ..I see you

Shaking my head at the comments on this thread….

MLK is turning in his grave at what our country still is 40 years later…

Will we ever live in harmony?

Will there always be discord amongst races?

How can we have true progress with no compromise?

If Africans remained Kings and Queens to rule the world would Europeans and their decendents be the oppressed till this day?…

THE REAL REVOLUTION IS THE REVOLUTION OF CONSCIOUSNESS!!!

Man, y’all need to stop for real. got some psycho comments on how to kill somebody..
how the f_ck can ANY of you be takin’ seriously? how can you sit up there and speak on behalf of all white people WALLY GEORGE.
or the ones speaking for all blacks. all ya’ll motherfukkas are retarded as hell.

….@ all @ true3playboycunt..awwwe ..him mad at me … my post must have related to him too awwwe I am so ashamed of myself

..lololololol…..SIKE…SIKE

@RED TONY AND TRU3PLAYBOY
CO SIGN, CO SIGN, CO MUTHAFUKKAN SIGN.

WTH are you talking about tru3playboy?

Spuddy In Da NO

See, this is why we didn’t want yall in the military in the first place. Yall got all that misplaced aggression. Here you is threatening God fearing, patriotic Americans. What are you? One of those militant gangster rappers?

I don’t think the talk about concentration camps (too many of those in global history as well, re: the Holocaust and Japanese internment campus) and other “payback” is constructive.

What I think is helpful is demanding that the wheels of justice are fully functional in the investigation of the deaths in La. Colorofchange.org has posted a petition demanding that further action is taken on this matter:

http://www.colorofchange.org/nation/

Oops, I meant to type “Japanese internment camps”

Oh Lordy, here yall go with your petitions. The last thing you people need is some rabble rouser asking yall to sign some petition made up by some organization called coloredsforchange.

let me catch 1 of those sorry mother fukkaz that did that to those people and i’ll bet my life they wouldnt live to tell anyone else about what they did…..u can bet tha house on that sh!t!

Who’s racist? Black women?

How on earth does every single mickey freaking thread turn into a sista-bashing session? This has NOTHING to do with black women.

Take that garbage outside.

@ Sydney
_________
I totally agree with you. We can sit in here all day going back and forth, however unless we do something constructive nothing will ever change.

@Sydney

Dropping those gems… nice. Exactly why I left the US and moved to Canadaland… boring as hell, but at least ppl here are usually fascinated by different cultures , creeds and races….

hahhahahaha…they mad… just hope your sons don’t run into mine………It will be as it may………lololol

@tru3playboy

What does it matter to you, anyway? You’ve already informed us more than once that you’re not black (right?) yet you’ve tried to stir up trouble on more than one thread.

It’s beyond tired and it’s offensive. Save it for a Kim K thread, please.

@Candid Canuck

I agree with you — there definitely has to be a greater awareness of other cultures and our collective contributions to this nation.

What saddens me is what happened in La. was driven by a combination of fear and unawareness. If you look at black and whites of a certain status, they really have a number of commonalities — if you’re poor, no matter what your race, you have a hard time paying the bills, you’re disenfranchised on a number of levels, your job may be in jeopardy.

If we’re unified, we’re able to accomplish much more than if we’re divided into these disparate groups. That’s the horrible thing about racism — It keeps people apart who actually could productively work towards a common, beneficial goal.

cry me a river …….waaahhh,,,.wahhhhh…jail dont frighten me when it comes to protecting my home……willing to do 50+……chump …..u mad huh????

I would say that an integral part of being educated, informed and proactive is knowing about concentration camps and other mechanisms of fear and war tactics that may be used against you.

Like I said yall… tru3playcunt is whitey I don’t care of his skin tone ……………

@tru3playboy

We’re discussing an act of racism that took place during Katrina. Have you even read The Nation article?

You’re turning this into a sister-bashing session, and that reflects more on you and your personal issues.

And read about the definition of racism, and the differences between racism and prejudice (there’s a lot of literature online).

Also, you would be offended if a black person went on a Latino site and degraded Latinas (as I’ve mentioned to you before) — well, you’re doing the same here and it’s very culturally offensive, and I think you should show more respect.

@adiamondcenter:

You already know! I just sit and think sometimes about all the things I can do.

We can’t unify with other races until we unify with ourselves.

Every race lives by a race first premises…please name another race that doesn’t besides African American and Blacks in general

You fix self first then you branch out
Race first should always be a prerogative

@Redd Tony- What bothers me with people like you, is that you think that EVERYONE can be dealt with, by talking to them. You can’t talk a crazy person out of being crazy…And I love how you skipped over what happened, which was, them killing blacks wih no repercussion, then fake negroes like yourself come out of the woodwork, “Can we all just get along?” NO! WE CAN’T!!

AS LONG AS YOU HAVE US STILL HAVING TO TAKE THEIR ISH AND DIE, AT THEIR HANDS, THER WILL NEVER BE PEACE. YOU WOULD BRING UP MARTIN’S ASS. THAT’S THE MAIN REASON BLACKS ARE SO COMPLACENT. TURN THE OTHER CHEEK. I’LL TELL YOU WHAT, SMACK ME AND I’LL SMACK YOU BACK… WHAT GAINS HAS CONSCIOUSNESS MADE FOR OUR RACE? OR ARE YOU UNSURE, BECAUSE YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT SIDE YOU BELONG EITHER??…IF YOU’RE CONFUSED, I CAN HELP YOU WITH THE ANSWERS, TRUST! DON’T BRING THAT ‘THINK FIRST’ CRAP. WHEN YOU NEED TO THINK BEFORE THIS STUFF HAPPENED. IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SEAN BELLS, DRAGGING AND LYNCHINGS IN TEXAS, THIS YEAR, BLACKS BEING FED TO LIONS WHILE ALIVE, BLACK CHILD SLAVERY, MAJORITY BLACK MEN LOCKED UP AND YOU WANT TO SIT HERE TRYING TO COME WITH THAT, CHANGE GONE COME?? GET AWAY FROM ME, REDD TONY. USUALLY, I CAN DEAL WITH THAT POSITIVITY STUFF, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, TODAY ISN’T ONE OF THOSE DAYS…

MARCUS GARVEY, NAT TURNER, TOUSSAINT L’OVERTURE AND THE LIKE WOULD BE TURNING OVER IN THEIR GRAVES
WATCHING US KEEP TAKING IT, WITH NO VASELINE…Sorry, I’m not in that group. I’ll never belong to that group….. Be loyal to yours, FIRST…..Looks like your on the other side, REDD TONEY, do yu know what that means?? I think you do…

sorry I had to rant, a coupla of comments i read led me to do so

..alot of ppl must be hurt because they got they ass kicked by the best BLACKS huh…..they mad lol…lol this is one of the things I live for your anger ….I love it like I love my BLACK PEOPLE fuk bugga eating whiteys with pink penis ….Again ..and whatt….

and yo, f*ck all this peaceful brainwashing sh!t. The white people that are like that know who they are and we’re talking about them. I’ll round up some people and go to that place without being seen and fade all of em. u didnt see those punk mothafukkaz attacking groups just individuals. thats how cowards are. so if there are any racist whites on here i got some hot ones for ya and if u think its a game just leave ur contact info and we’ll see whats up….now we can see whos for real about looking at black lifestyles but are still racist…and yep, i would get a charge just to fade 1 of u mothafukkaz!

And there are no “bit**es” posting on this thread, get it straight.

Have some respect and comport yourself like a gentleman — or at least try to.

*deep pregnant sigh*

@Purp

“We can’t unify with other races until we unify with ourselves.

Every race lives by a race first premises…please name another race that doesn’t besides African American and Blacks in general.”

I agree with this statement as well. We definitely have a slew of issues, including black-on-black violence, to address.

@Sydney..

you are an educated woman, and that shows. but you are being blind sided. you are co-signing with people that are making post about killing all white people and they way that they are going to do, then sit up there and try to sugar coat what they are saying.. you say show some respect?? ON A BLOG SITE.. respect is a give and take.. and there is NO respect on this blog. if that’s what you want, then you should go to a blog that’s monitored..
I feel what tru3playboy is saying, then i feel what you are saying too.. I don’t mean to single you out-for real.. but this shyt is crazy what ppl are talking.

and that goes for that wally o george or whatever is name is.. dude is ignorant too.. people like that cannot be takin seriously. and for ppl to sit up there and instill hate in their kids, they are robbing their children…

Redd Toney- How many negroes always stand to the side, when our own is getting raped, mutilated, killed?? Why is that?? Is is because we accept, everything that’s done to us?? Is it because we are always waiting on somebody’s acceptance???

____________________________________________

We need to fix ourselves, first and foremost and that will never happen, with that accept everybody, bs. We need to fix our communities first. Black on black crime, started, why? What ar th real reasons for that ignorant ish? Is it because brothers still have problems finding employment? Because they got most black men in the system? Do you think it’s done by surprise? Or do you think the laws are made that way on purpose?? Do you think any of it has to do, with our blood being diluted and weakened? What are the causes for black men to sell out their entire race? What causes that? Or do we turn on each other? Why is there no support for each other? Why do our kids have to deal with the same prejudices and threats? Why are we still NOT free? Why is still easier to find the brothers in the cells, but not in the boardroom?? REDD TONEY, CAN YOU ANSWER ANY OF THESE QUESTIONS?….

Sydney i havnt read all the comments but i see somebody has pissed u off.

awwwww, ur pregnant…congrats!

puta biatch

We were told that the bible says “love your enemy” when in fact there is nowhere in the bible that says that….as a matter of fact God destroys his enemies. We are always quick to turn the other cheek….be submissive and of no action. MLK preached it and is it a wonder why the US gov. allowed him to prosper and be a spokesman for the Black cause? The FBI and CIA had enough dirt on him to totally assasinate his charachter but they chose not to…why not? Bottom line is, self preservation can only be accomplished through self dependance. Every race has done it, but Blacks still want massah to wipe the boo boo and make it all better……ain’t happening.

@WTF

I’m not co-signing with the posts you mentioned — I made it clear that talk about violence, “concentration camps,” and the like is counter-productive. Those measures have been used against other groups throughout history to devastating effect that is felt to this day.

I think some folks on here are angry about what they watched in the video, and it’s the same visceral reaction that some of us feel when we see photos of lynchings and other degradation. I don’t excuse it, but I recognize it as an emotional outpouring that shouldn’t materialize in a tit-for-tat argument.

@tru3playboy

There are no racist white sites? Are you kidding? I stopped visiting sites like Perez Hilton because of the racist comments, i.e. gorilla remarks and other racial slurs. There are groups that monitor white supremacist group sites. I can give you a list, if you like.

I have so much history I can share with you on white racism, and a lot of it is written by whites themselves.

And, yes, Latinos can be prejudiced, too. I’ve read your remarks, and, frankly, they’re shocking and disturbing.

Am I the only one who has noticed that Wally has STFU??? I’m just saying?

@ Spuddy

I wish Wally was deployed with you…….friendly fire is the great equalizer.

Preach ILL

…@all haters @ sydney…..Sydney hasn’t sided with no one ….she is classy ,smart and kind ……leave her alone.. she ain’t a smart ass like me …she don’t disrespect like I do….and I love it ….She is what we need in the black community……..ppl like her are our secret weapons…..

@Purp

“Sydney i havnt read all the comments but i see somebody has pissed u off.”

Yes, I am. This is a serious topic that’s being turned into the same virulence in a Kim K thread by a perennial trouble-starter, and I resent it, I really do.

I’m tired of people projecting their personal issues onto unrelated topics. As I sometimes say, don’t push your psychosis onto me. Get a shrink.

“awwwww, ur pregnant…congrats!”

LOL! You’re silly!

damn, why I keep typing “stuggle” I meant STRUGGLE!!!

Daym Missblaze tell the truth and shame the debil

ur last post was the truth

like to send a shout out to ALL the former Black Panthers and the Black Panthers who we lost in the struggle. I will always raise my fist in the air to salute!

And, for the record, I was angry as can be when I did watch Rosewood, when I did watch Eyes on the Prize, when I did watch Amistad, when I read The Autobiography of Malcolm X, etc., etc.

Darn it, considering what we’ve been through through the generations, it’s amazing we’re still standing.

Did you watch apoctolyptico?(sp) or what about Passion of the Christ??
I’m sorry i respect history, and feel that we are supposed to LEARN from it, and not REPEAT it..

it’s sad that people will blame the WHOLE race for what a few azzholes do.. if that’s the case, i would stay clear of black men, being that my daughters father has NOTHING to do with her… right? NO.. i don’t hold that against all black men.. cause i know some black men that would DIE for their children..

@MissBlaze

Thank you, sista!

*snaps up*

…..@..sydney dont even read these comments with that beautiful BLACK baby inside you…. go rest and pray ….this is a horrible place right now and I am all over it …..I respect you with love and peace…congrats

And I think a therapist can also help you with your racist views towards whites…everything goes both ways…

@ Purple

I get heated because whenever we try to do something positive, it was ALWAYS turned into a negative by our government.

The Black Panthers sole purpose was to do good for our communities – but it was the white man who thought otherwise and when they started going after the Panthers and they definded themselves THAT WAS WHAT YOU SAW ON TV – THE RETALIATION.

But the never showed THE GOOD – which is what The Black Panthers were always about to begin with.

@WTF

“Did you watch apoctolyptico?(sp) or what about Passion of the Christ??
I’m sorry i respect history, and feel that we are supposed to LEARN from it, and not REPEAT it..”

I don’t get your point — You seem to be attempting to put me in a category of people who want to exact revenge for past wrongs. That’s inaccurate, and you know that, so please cease.

And, yes, I watched The Passion of the Christ, along with Schindler’s List, The Pianist, etc.

Yes, the point about learning about history is not repeating it, but also knowing from what we have evolved.

My history as an African American contains many achievements and joys, but also periods of great sorrow and pain, and I’m not going to reject any part of that rich heritage.

ADIAMONDCENTER..

you got your NERVE to even say the word PRAY, after all this crazy shyt that you’ve talked. it amazes me that half of ya’ll will carry your crazy azz to church this sunday.. SMDH..

Oh, y’all think I’m pregnant. . .LMAO!

No, people, I meant “pregnant” as in a long sigh — I’m not preggers!!

@tru3playboy

“And I think a therapist can also help you with your racist views towards whites…everything goes both ways…”

I haven’t used one racial slur on here or made a utterance of violence, so, again, you’re just illuminating your own prejudice.

I’m sorry, but you’re very prejudiced and you have deep-seated issues.

And you’re mean.

@ WTF ..I can say pray because I feel we are the choosen people got to be all the things that we have made it through and you whiteys are the ones casted out of heaven with the devil …so my belief screw you monster!!!!

*an utterance*

And I greatly resent being told how “good” we blacks have it by someone who is not of our culture.

Talk about nerve and a lack of cultural sensitivity.

LOL, thanks for clearing that up Syd, I said to myself she been bloggin this whole time and never told us she was preggo!

Dont want to hear that huh…………

I hate to say this but if you are not black, like you have stated, than you don’t know truly know if things are not as bad as they use to be. Only an old black person can say “Well things are not as bad as they use to be.”
___________________________________

But I don’t have to be black to see racism with my own two eyes, I grew up in the hood, I lived it. Growing up honestly I saw racism from whites and from blacks, and I just find it funny that black people wanna act like “oh woe is me” but they are no better. That’s all I’m sayin. Does that mean I agree with either side bein racist, no! But don’t act like little miss/mr. innocent when you’re just as racist (i’m speaking in general).

and if your not BLACK you should stay clear of BLACK men

You gotta lotta nerve to even bring church into this, jesus preached love and equality…you really are sick.

@Purp

LOL! “Pregnant” can mean “full” — at least according to Merriam-Webster.

If I were preggers, it would be the second immaculate conception. *bows head in reverence to the Virgin Mary*

@ tru3playboy-”And I think a therapist can also help you with your racist views towards whites…everything goes both ways…”

___________________________________________

Who gves a rat’s ass what you think? You obviously don’t think at all…You need a therapist…We are not going to be taking this ish any more..Yeah, you made a point abut getting mad and the comments that were made, but that’s just like a half-breed to try to come tell you, that you’re wrong for thinking that blacks shouldn’t take it sitting down…That’s typical for someone of mixed race to be confused,all mixed up…This thread isn;t for people like you anyway, aren’t you supposed to be on the Paris and Kim K thread, talking about how you;d love the chance to screw them???? maybe you should be on lossip anyway…We have some of the same struggles, but even in California, Mexicans are KILLING BLACK MEN, CHILDREN AND WOMEN in ALARMING NUMBERS, google it, check it out…So for me it’s no surprise, I see you and I know who each of you really represent…..White folks don’t even get their hands dirty, they send the pseudo-negroes to do their bidding for them…..

You would be attacking black women for NOT GOING ALONG WITH THE KILLING OF OUR BLACK MEN! It doesn’t matter to you because you are partially or NOT black at all, so you woul;d have that point of view. Iff you are not in the group, whose ancestors were dragged, lynched and survived, then DO NOT SPEAK, AT ALL!! You do not have knowledge of what you are speaking of…You wouldn’t understand…Go back on over there, with Wally George, I’ll try not notice you selling us out…

Will the real Black men please stand up and get rid of these traitors? If no black men, stand up, my brother meet me in the back, Daddy always taught me how to protect myself….I’d be glad to give you a lesson or two….Make sure Wally Geirge is there to put you body on the side of the road, with the rest of the blacks they are hunting for sport…I know that you don;t see anything racist about us talking about it and them ACTUALL KILLING BLACK MALES….

Sisters, this ish is not surprising, this is how the government systematically removed our black men. Noone gives a rats ass about black men…And it MAKES ME SICK!!!

Old news. Why cover this 3 years later? Oh….I guess to inform people who only follow gossip blogs and not real news.

And there’s nowhere in the bible that says blacks are the chosen people, in reality it says jews were the chosen people. What you makin up ur own religion now? Crazy heffa…

@ always knew…

if u wanna preach about who’s killing black men, then you should preach to BLACK MEN, cuz it’s statistically proven that more black men are killed from black on black crime than anything else…so while you’re ranting and raving maybe you should do a little research yourself.

@ tru3playboy

Well that’s about the only thing I can agree with you. It is true, it says the Jews are the chosen people.

LOL@Syd

ok glad u cleared that up!!

do what you gotta do lady!

I dont quote the bible because only God knows..I feel we the choosen along with the jews……hater

and wait until they go to college and actually learn something that wasn’t taught to them by their ignorant mother

lmao @ u makin up ur own religious views…ur in for a big surprise when u die and go to the fiery place instead of where u thought u were goin. Remember god don’t like ugly and u are a very ugly and hateful person. NOWHERE in the christian faith is HATE tolerated. Remember that.

@always knew

I know who I am, and what Im on this earth for…I breed positivity in my life, and it is contagious to the people around me..After you are long gone, your sons will understand…Killing whitey wont solve any of our problems….

I beleive in the following statment…

“An extraterrestrial visitor examining the differences among human societies would find those differences trivial compared to the similarities”

Our lives, our past and our future are tied to the Sun, the Moon and the Stars. We humans have seen the atoms which constitute all of nature and the forces that sculpted this work and we who embody the local eyes and ears and thoughts and feelings of the cosmos, have begun to wonder about our origins, star stuff contemplating the stars organized collections of ten billion, billion, billion atoms contemplating the evolution of nature, tracing that long path by which it arrive at consciousness here on earth…Our loyalties are to the species and to the planet. Our obligation to survive and flourish is owed not just to ourselves but also to that cosmos ancient and vast from which we sprung…

You will understand one day…WE ALL ARE ONE

@ tru3playboy

O, Young One. Please read the Bible again, specifically where it describes GOD AS HAVING HAIR OF WOOL and specifically WHERE THE GARDEN OF EDEN WAS – NEAR ETHIOPIA.

God is a Black Man, TRU3PLAYBOY. WE (African Americans) are the TRUE choosen ones.

Besides, think about it: why would God make the people who KILLED HIM the choosen ones?

Once again, you’re got it TWISTED. Read some books, luv, and not them lying ass HIStory books either. Get yourself a Bible and look these things up – what which I’ve just stated.

I don’t need to because I’ve read and studied them already – but it is imperative that you do, because you’re talking about things in which I KNOW you haven’t looked up because if you did – you wouldn’t be spitting this stupidity!!!

do your part in fighting racism have sex with as many white woman as possible.. i’m joking

@Redd TONEY- How are we 1, when we are the only ones dying?

I remain defiant and committed to black men. I will not sit down and pretend that this is not happening…My sons, as long as they continue to move forward, they will continue to be blessed. I am not in love with this life, all like that, that I am willing to remain quiet and my black men are dying, by our own hands and white hands.

WILL THE SENSELESS SLAUGHTER OF BLACK MALES EVER END??……

I just thought of this poem, We Wear the Mask, by Paul Laurence Dunbar. It was written in the early 1900s, but it’s surprising how relevant it still is to this day:

WE wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
And mouth with myriad subtleties.

Why should the world be over-wise,
In counting all our tears and sighs?
Nay, let them only see us, while
We wear the mask.

We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries
To thee from tortured souls arise.
We sing, but oh the clay is vile
Beneath our feet, and long the mile;
But let the world dream otherwise,
We wear the mask!

that should’ve read while black men are dying??

dont hate they ignorant and educated and love there ppl ..now they love spanish chicks thou………hmmmmmm

lmao@Jews are the chosen people

@ Sydney

Thank you, my sistah, but we’ve got to get at TRU3PLAYBOY and JK. They REALLY think that Jews are the choosen people – WHEN IT WAS THE DAMN JEWS WHO KILLED JESUS.

I’ve already believed that THIS IS THE MAIN CAUSE of our problems because believe it or not; WHITE PEOPLE ALREADY KNOW THIS TO BE TRUE.

Hence them changing the Bible to read hair and SKIN white like WOOL. NO… His hair TEXTTURE is of WOOL and skin the COLOR OF BRONZE.

Now, if that doesn’t sound like a BLACK MAN then your ass is just in DENIAL.

lololol ..they love those spanish chicks…….they are fine dating any race other than the whitey…………..yep …raised mine……..just like that………peace

god is not a black man, he is a middle eastern man, everything in the bible took place in middle eastern countries. It clearly states that the jews were blessed by god and then they turned on jesus, but they were the chosen people. Jesus himself was a jew. I don’t know about you but I don’t know many black jews but there are plenty of middle easterners with “hair like wool” and “skin the color of bronze.” Why do you think israel is considered the holy land and that many landmarks from the bible are there. You are sadly mistaken, and trust that even if he was a black man, it wouldn’t make a difference. He loved everyone and was an accepting man and he preached love and tolerance. Hate is not acceptable no matter what religion you are, unless you are a muslim extremist.

@Anyone who’s interested

Oh, before I forget, on a totally unrelated note, we talked about TV One last week, and I wanted to mention its series, “Unsung,” sort of a black Behind the Music look at different artists who didn’t reach their full potential. I watched the one on Donny Hathaway in the wee hours this morning, and I didn’t know he was a paranoid schizophrenic. It was so sad.

Also, there’s one on Debarge, and I didn’t know they were biracial (black mom, white dad), and they had a lot of issues growing up.

I would just like to say that, although the south is known for its separatist ideas, I believe the media had a lot to do with it as well. I am a black woman on the west coast, but have family in New Orleans and Mississippi. It was painful for me to watch, but at the same time, I was scared for people that had anything of value at that time (water, food, gas, running car) it was all out chaos…and I think that if I was white/black/asian etc. and watching and or listening to the media, it would have put fear in me enough to shoot first and ask questions later too. Especially if you have family and things of that nature, its sad that they have no remorse, but in times like that you cant really hold anyone accountable…maybe that is just me and my west coast thinking…also I want to add that maybe if black folks get just as upset and pissed off about black on black crimes and murders, people can take us seriously when something like this happens…Black on Black homicide is out of hand…you think that other races will respect us, when we dont even respect ourselves? Its a sad situation, but true…just giving yall something to think about….you need to be just as pissed off at Ray Ray and June Bug as you are of Billy Bob…it really baffles me how we have let our own genocide go on for so many years…its ridiculous…so lets get our acts together, then we can teach others…

@ tru3playboy- lmao at your religious views…Well me too, laughing at you Santoria devil worshipping aztec descendants. I graduated from university not college. No not a community college. And fortunately, we had black success stories, all the time. Which is why I don;t have to think like you inorder to beat you. Self-determination and preservation. I am not waiting or looking for a White man, Black man or anyone, to save me…

And you are not my judge, as much killing as you, Aztecs, (sacrifices, anyone?), I am not hardly trying to hear your version, of where you think I am going…. I wonder what God thinks about your culture? You are probable the most corrupt people , in North America. I’ve seen so many young children pregnant (like 8 or 9 years old), you all drink beer and run around in your trucks with 24 packs, drug runners, kidnappers, violence on the border of Arizona, etc)..I really don’t think you of all people should be telling me anyything about going to heaven? Made any sacrifices yet,Santoria? anyone? Devil’s spawn…You started it…Hope you like what you get back….

there are A LOT of white spanish chicks, dummy. You got to be one of the stupidest people I have ever encountered in my life and while you are condoning your sons dating spanish chicks about 95% of spanish people don’t condone their own dating black people. So you got it all twisted…

@ Tru3Play Boy
@ JK

Do the two of you YOUNGSTA’S know that the good old U S of A sent back the first sculped Statue of Liberty because our government thought it looked “too ethnic”?

Oh yes. The nose and lips were too large for our governments liking – so they sent it back and the French had to come up with something that more resembled A WHITE WOMAN.

Go figure – or in YOUR case – go READ!!!

Ignorance kills more Blacks than Black on Black crime?

Ignorance is a black on black crime

Oh no, we’re getting into the Jesus discussion. . .Always controversial. . .

I think it was TIME (or Newsweek) magazine, by the way, that did a cover story years ago about the origins of civilization in Africa, and the cover illustration was of a darker-skinned Adam and Eve.

http://www.trueorigin.org/mitochondrialeve01.asp

Its amazing that I raised my sons to be BLACK strong and ppl hate it….You would love it if my kids left their own……huh..not happening not under my roof…..The ego and emotions got yall following me ..you so amazed with my BLACK pride that you can’t help but to respond…why respond to someone who don’t like whiteys openly…. if your not BLACK….you must be hurt or my slave…lol….okay ,,,now whiteys and white lovers respond……….

Hey don’t blame me. Yes, the Jews killed Jesus, but it says in the Bible, they were the chosen ways that he orginally came to save. It is there and I have read it and heard others preach about it. Just cause you don’t like it, does not mean it is not there. Fact not ficition. I chose my words very carefully before I write or speak to anyone about important subjects. And, if I don’t know what I am talking about I try to educate myself on that subject before talking. Some people should try that.

@ missblaze43…when you take the 40 bus is it to go to throggs neck?

@tru3playboy

“about 95% of spanish people don’t condone their own dating black people.”

So who’s racist again?

*scratching head*

ADIAMONDCENTER..

your kids are graduated and in the 11th grade.. go take your old azz on somewhere else.. sheesh.. old people

…@ WTF …then you must be half kangaroo…lol..really I dont care ..your not black ..and if you are your the other type.. wigga

@ Sydney

Donny Hathaway has that disease, too. Remember we were talking about that sistah who played on Alley McBeal – Lisa Nicole Carson – she’s got the same thing.

Wow. That’s deep.

As for the youngstas comment. I am 30 years old and I read the entire time that I was in college and all the way through law school, and yes I completed them both. Now as a daily part of my job as a litigator, I read every day. As for the Statue of Liberty comment, no I was unaware of that, yet it was very informative. As for the Bible part read my earlier comment, and think sometimes before writing or speaking in public domains.

hahahahaha…you talk that half breed stuff them place your faith in Obama as your leader? hhahaha

I am not trying to sway you away from Black Men, my point is senseless killing of another race is not the answer…

We are one species, HUMAN…we bleed red, have one heart ten fingers and ten toes.its not that hard….Every race has had their share of tyranny and dying…I agree the American system of goverment is not in our favor and we still have not adapted, but the bottom line is hate doesnt make it better…We need to learn the banking system, learn how to be responsible with money, Black fathers need to be men, just to name a few..

Will the senseless slaughter of Black Men by other Black Men seize? That is the question…

…lolol….they followme…..told yall….they love my swagga just like they love the BLACK dick……point made

Sydney I will support my future children no matter who they wanna date, I’m just speakin on what I know. Just cuz others feel that way doesn’t mean I do. Besides 50 years from now we’re all gonna be mixed, NY times estimates by 2042 we will all be one mixed race. Why waste ur time worrying about who your children wanna be with? We only got one life to live. As long as they’re happy and in the relationship for love that’s all that matters.

half kangaroo?? was that suppose to be funny??

@MissBlaze

Yes, it was very sad. He was only 34 when he committed suicide, and they said suicide is the leading cause of death for paranoid schizophrenics. I hope Lisa Nicole Carson is receiving the best treatment possible.

They played his music, and I just teared up. He had such a beautiful voice.

They also have a profile of Phyllis Hyman, but I missed that one. They’re running another marathon of all the episodes on Friday, so I’m going to try to catch it.

I’m not sure which goes to throggs neck because you have the 40 and 42 that goes along the same route.

Why, you know the chick who I cursed out? She’s still a BIG DUMMY for leaving her kid out like that.

lolol

…lolol….they followme…..told yall….they love my swagga just like they love the BLACK dick……point made

uhhh, i just wish i can slap the sh*t out of you for GP.. you are so dayum stupid…

yes sydney
that convo would be very controversial
starting with Joseph being jesus’s father…not any immaculate conception and with Jesus just being a regular dude, if he even existed at all…lots of controversial stuff that goes way deeper than the color of adam and eve or so ive come across

@tru3playboy

I don’t know. . .as long as your kids don’t try to date black women. You have a grudge against sistas that’s a little scary.

I’m part of the Keep Black Women Safe movement.

@ Sydney

Oh, I caught the one on Phyllis Hyman – she had such a troubled soul. A true talent that never saw her full-worth in this industry. I feel they played her out just like they did Billi Holiday – another talent with a troubled soul.

@ sydney…my kids can date black women if they want, I have nothing against black women. I have somethin against ignorant racist black women. It just happens to be that a lot of black women on this site fit that description so u see more of me criticizing rather than complimenting. I have also said positive things about black women on this site they are just overlooked cuz typically people dwell on the negative and bypass the positive.

@missblaze43…no of course I don’t know the chick. I just have family in that area and I’ve taken that bus a lot in the past. Get off the 6 in westchester sq and catch the 40/42 to randall ave.

Black are the choosen ones…..Deal with it..but only God knows…..come on my followers that hate but love my BLACK swaggg post a comment…you know you cant help it ……you keep reading…my post are for BLACK and BROWNS only………..

@MissBlaze

I believe a number of artists have or are suffering from mental illness. It’s a serious issue. Phyllis Hyman’s death was another tragedy.

@Purp

I steer clear of conversation about religion in most circles. It’s a pressure cooker.

Oh, speaking of religion, or Catholicism, I want to see the new Meryl Streep flick “Doubt.” There’s a sista in it, Viola Davis, who’s generating Oscar buzz (I think she was nominated for a Golden Globe). Philip Seymour Hoffman (another of my favorites — loved, loved him in “Capote”) is also in it.

This is to always knew and the rest of u, spreading more hatred….one thing Obama is for everyone, he has to be in order to run this nation. God is for everyone and for most of you who dont know…middle eastern people/arab and jews come in all colors just as all minorities do. You all need to listen to Bob Marley and chill out…with all that…and by the way, Obama is half white…and was raised by white people…his hero was his grandfather, a white male and his mother, a white female…they did a great job!! I dont want you ignorant black folks to speak for me. You really need to read and study up before you speak about something. You are making us look bad and you sound jealous of jews and whites…don’t be bitter and hateful all of your life. Learn to love and teach and nurture cause we are all Americans…we all need to work on ourselves!

Black are the choosen ones…..Deal with it..but only God knows…..come on my followers that hate but love my BLACK swaggg post a comment…you know you cant help it ……you keep reading…my post are for BLACK and BROWNS only………..

@Adiamondcenter

As much as I have enjoyed your swagga on here today. LOL, and believe me as much as I would like to agree with you on this subject. I am going to have to stick to what the Bible says on this. Nevertheless, Jesus loves all races and colors.

@ JK

The Jews are not the choosen ones – and like it was posted earlier – we can go on and on with this. Even the Anti-Defamation League has a hard time with this.

@ Sydney

YES, I remember that article – boy did it stir up some good old fashioned CONTROVERSEY.

I love it!

@tru3playboy

What positive thing have you ever said about black women? That must have been your alter ego because all of the statements of yours that I’ve read have been offensive.

No, you have some issues.

And you’re mean.

Hmmmmm…..I wonder why God put different races on earth together….oh yeah, according to Always Knew, we are here to kill each other…SMH

Oh yeah you have acheived higher learning alright, through the ciriculum set by “whitey” you hate so much..hahahahahahh

It is said that everyone interpts the Bible differently. Therefore I will respect your idealogy and you should respect mine.

I thought Jesus was White and Mary was Mexican this whole time. You learn something new everyday

@ tru3playboy

The jews you are thinking about are jewISH…..NOT the lost tribe of Shabazz (the 12th tribe). They are technically Ashkenazi Jews and are not descendants of the Jews mentioned in the bible. As a matter of fact there were NO white skinned people living in the middle east 2000 years ago…..until the Romans invaded. Even they never mentioned seeing white skinned people until their armies moved up north and ran into the Celts. Palestine is not the “jewish homeland”..that would be near the Capaisan and Black seas. Jews claiming Palestine as their homeland is equivelant of Blacks in this country claiming Alaska as our motherland…..backwards thinking.

The Bible is subject to interpretation, therefore it could mean anything to anybody…

TRU3PLAYBOY!!!

Yes, thank you for clearing that up and I do agree that there are alot of racist, ignorant black folks on here period.

@ JK

And THAT is our 11th COMMANDMENT: That we love each other the same way God loves us.

I swear that’s hard – and I do try to live by that – I just need a little more help in that area.

its very funny that the people the bible is based off of(black people) have absolutely no idea that they are the “chosen people”

Syd I try to steer clear of religious convos also because a lot of people want to pick apart the bible as if nothing existed before it. You can’t have a truthful religious convo and start with the bible. If that’s the case I would say an individual shouldn’t be talking about the scope or spectrum of religion if the bible is all you know

You don’t start a movie with the sequel

sorry guys, had to get that out

@ Redd Tony
I totally agree with you on this particular statement. A perfect example of this is when Wally George was using the Bible as a mechanism for racism in his earlier posts to justify crimes against Blacks.

moving on….

Sydney I comment mostly about women looking good that are posted…I’m not gonna lie…I’m not gonna remember everything I’ve posted but I know for a fact it hasn’t all been negative about black women. Matter of fact I just posted the other day about Raekwon and the Wu-Tang clan, I think that was my last post before this one…and I’m not mean, I’m just real.

Thanks ILL, you always come through with the technicality of things!!

@ JK, don’t even waste ur time on abustedcubiczirconia…u seem like a nice person and it’s not even worth it. She’s uneducated and a disgusting racist. I don’t care what she says. People with so called master’s degrees don’t act like that.

@tru3playboy

I’m so tired of this whole “keeping it real” terminology, which is often a cover for some foolish thinking/action.

No, you’re really mean. And I’ve debunked your stereotypes on more than one occasion.

And sweetie you’re dropping just as much foolish statements if not more than me. The things that you say are pretty stereotypical too. You can be for your own people but don’t be against everyone else.

Peace Redd….

You right about being able to interpret the bible in many different ways….usually to fit an agenda. Lets look at the last “official” interpreter of the bible – my man King James.

King James = homosexual, woman hater, slave driver, (extremely) fearful of the Moors and their control…….Now, we have to read his version of the bible but consider the source and his agenda.

Racist statements on this post have been coming from both sides today. Obviously from people like Wally George and from some black people. Just an observation.

This is an example of the “tolerance” of black folk.

If I visited a blog frequented by, say, Asian-American women who aired their opinions on a variety of topics, I would show enough respect to listen (without talking) and learn and try to ascertain the source of their myriad perspectives.

If I wanted to interject my opinion, I would first identify myself (as politeness dictates) and respectfully converse without saying anything that could be construed as offensive (unless I wanted to be a troll, and that is so not me).

@tru3playboy

What have I said that is “offensive?” I talked about unifying the races (or did you skip over that post), talked about different periods of history and the degradation suffered by different groups, etc.

What are you talking about?

Exactly. You’re here to cause trouble — not to learn, not to converse respectfully, and, yes, it’s very offensive.

Ok, I was gonna stay outta this but I have to post. Isreal is part of what ia NOW called the Middle East but the name is new. The original term was Northeast Africa. It changed after WWII. Another thing for you to marinate on, Moses grew up in Pharoah’s Palace after he was found in the Nile. Moses was a Jew by birth. No One knew he was a Jew because he looked NO DIFFERENT from Pharoah’s family who were,wait for it….Egypttian. Where is Eygpt? Look at a map….on the Continent of Africa. Hence ifMoses was born a Jew as Jesus was, and he blended into Pharoah’s family who were Eygptian (or of the African Continent) what does that tell you about the Jews of that time? The Jews that live in Ireal now are mostly immigrants. True Isrealies look just like the Arabs they constantly fight. They are NOT white. When you break everything down, there are only 3 true known races: Negroid, Caucasiod and Mongoloid. Mongoloid come from the Yellow River area, Caucasoid comes from the Caucas Mountain range and Negroid from the Continent of Africa. Let’s also look at a world map. You can visually tell that what is now called the Middle East was at one time connected to the African Continent. It is only seperated by Red Sea, yanno, the same one Moses parted in the Exodus? Shall I continue? There is NO Way that Jesus or anyone else in the Bible are of White descent. No where in the Bible does it mention Germany, France, England or Italy, nor does it mention any of their former names. All places in the Bible are in the Middle East and the Continent of Africa. Not Europe. The Caucus Mountains still exist, IN EUROPE!!

@ Tru3PlayBoy

Oh, okay.

You seemed to have calmed down in the last couple of posts. I hope it’s because we’ve given you something to really think / read about. I’m not saying that to be funny. I’m serious.

It’s important to go to the library and read / research stuff on your own. The schools are only putting into your heads only that which THEY want you to know. If they can get away with feeding you a bunch of lies instead of giving you the TRUTH – it would kill them to have to do that – therefore they give you half-truths and pray that you never find out the WHOLE TRUTH.

You get where I’m coming from? KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.

You see how they’ve even managed to DIVIDE AND CONQUER Dominicans and Puerto Ricans? Most of y’all don’t even get along and like each other. Am I lying?

Divide and Conquer was one of the white man’s greatest accomplishment to ENSURE that people of coloe DON’T UNITE!

Unity is a very POWERFUL THING. Power is something that the white man wishes people of color NEVER have.

Remember my words: White people are afraid of UNITY AMONGST PEOPLE OF COLOR.

That means: Black People, Puerto Rican People, Dominican Republic People, Mexican People, Haitian People, Jamaican People, and so on and so forth.

I just mentioned 5 different types of Ethnic Communities (5 different types of BLACK PEOPLE).

Imagine what ALL THOSE TYPES OF BLACK PEOPLE could accommplish if WE ALL put out brains together to do some commong good FOR OUR PEOPLE!

THAT IS WHAT THE WHITE MAN IS AFFRAID OF!

@ Illuminate Truth

And if I’m not mistaking, those groups that I’ve mentioned are a part of the Lost Tribes of Shabazz, right, Truth?

@ Spuddy

“wait for it..” that was funny, but O So True.

AND, lets not forget that ONLY when they got LEPROSY DID THEIR SKIN TURN WHITE WITH THE DISEASE!!!!

I’d almost forgot about that one.

MISS BLAZE43!!!

Blacks continue to be there own enemy! The white man/female is not the enemy! I used to be like you in the 9th grade, but when you get out into the world beyond your hood/neighborhood, you will grow and you will learn. You can’t be so narrow minded. Black people got played due their own ignorance, just like the indians (native Americans). That is why education is the key…The white man is not afraid of minorities uniting….Cause they already understand our nature (human nature)…people are divided by many things other than race. I guarantee if it isnt race, it will be religion, if its not religion, it will class (middle class, lower class) there will always be things to divide man…I believe God did that on purpose, and he wants to see if we can love one another and appreciate or differences. The world is diverse…stop being ignorant! If you really believe in what you are preaching than you will let God deal with people who have come against you. Its not your revenge, its his! So stop it!!!

Hey… where did everybody go?

Tell the truth shame the debil is what i always say ILL, i feel you!

I’m still here, MissBlaze. . .

I think a poster was right who wrote the other day in the Russell Simmons thread that this site is toxic. . .

next yall gonna try to get me to believe this is really the year 2008 huh….

What up Purp, Ill and Syd, Miss Blaze, I didnt say whats up in all the comotion…hahaha

yeah Purp, it aint really 2008, there is an “error in time”

@ Tara

We’ve already established that we’re our own worst enemy and as I stated – I try to live by the 11th Commandment, but it can be hard, sometimes.

But lets be clear – THE WHITE MAN IS AFFRAID OF US UNITING.

I know God wants us to love each other, but some people need to know that you don’t start wars IN THE NAME OF GOOD. You don’t kill people IN THE NAME OF GOD. You don’t willfully mame, shoot, steele rob IN THE NAMEOF GOD.

But yet, that’s what the white man does – and will have no qualms about sending US out there to be the first ones slaughtered – IN THE NAME OF GOD.

The white man/female might not be the enemy to you, BUT HE SURE AS HELL NEVER COMES IN PEACE!!!

@Sydney

This site is toxic, its addictive though…hahahaha

Wassup MissBlaze?

It would seem that way…but I think primarily the Blacks in Amerikkka.

“Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them.”

Biblical description of the lost tribe in the last days (Revelations)……Jewish people are anything but lost. Who is more lost than us…..disconnected from our history, our culture and our right minds. “Lost” is actually a perfect way to collectively describe us.

LOL
hey Redd…just chillin over here reading all of you guys enlightening comments(you guys know who you are) and attempting to work instead of type…….

“error in time”…forsure!

@Redd

It may be “addictive,” but not for too much longer. . .This isn’t entertaining nor productive. . .

*quoting Faye Dunaway in Mommie Dearest*

I’m da*n mad!

Got dammit, this is where all the people with brains are… what the hell was I doing on the MJ thread, no wonder I was bored!

@ Redd

Yeah, mechanical time is all chopped and screwed..(can’t get that damn song out my head…lol). Real time resides in the woman’s womb anyway…..in her cycle. Thats just one reason I hate to see people on this site blasting her (Black woman in particular). Closest thing to God walking earth but people can’t grasp that.

Brah, you been studying DNA (yeah, be careful fam. you know Phizer, Merck, etc. got you on their radar already…lol) Do you know the name of the strand of DNA that is prevelant in Anglo Saxons that directly connects them to the Neanderthal? I think it was “R” something or the other…..thought you might know. I read about it a while ago but I forgot where and I’m having trouble cross referencing it.

@ Miss Blaze…

can you please tell me who the “white man” is?

I’m a “honky” myself, but all of this “white man” talk is garbage to me… Am I included in this generalization of the so called “white man”?

I don’t know anyone like this myself; not too sure where you hang out…

yeah Nina i tried to stick around and lurk in the MJ thread but when my Genius IQ started dwindling it was time for me to go. LOL(about everything but the Genius)

@MissBlaze

I dont think its the “common white man” (even though some can be racist) that doesnt want us to unite, its the Corporate Wealthy elitist powers that be who dont want us to unite…Profits are paramount, they dont care who they step on and how many families are being broken….

Wassup Neeeeeeeeena……..bout time you showed up.

@ Tara

And another thing… ’cause I can’t let you get by on that.

I forget what program / movie I was watching, but I remember it going something like this:

DIVID AND CONQUER first came about on the plantation. In order for the white man to ensure that his slaves didn’t RISE UP and go against him, he spent time making sure that he caused DISTRUST (because it’s easier to Distrust a person than it is to Trust them) in the House Nigger and the Field Nigger.

If the house nigger and the field nigger didn’t get along – THEN THE SLAVE OWNER NEVER HAD TO WORRY ABOUT AN UPRISE FROM HIS SLAVES.

You don’t start a movie with the sequel
______________________________________________
Real Talk Purpple. Until some black people accept the true intentions to believe everything in the bible, they will continue to be brainwashed and mislead. Too many blacks are unaware that we did not begin from slavery. and that religion did not begin with the bible. We existed millions of years before the bible was ever written. They will never know true self until they start from the beginning.

yhea I just jumped on in…. lol

LOL Sydney….you can learn something from the ignorant too. It keeps your compass metered.

I stand corrected on one item….Romans would have been considered White and of European descent. But still Jesus was a Jew, like Moses who looked like Eygptians who are DEFINITELY Black, and definitely not Roman. Romans could definitely tell the difference between them and Jews of that time. I wonder how? It wasn’t just the language barrier.

Nina preach and Im glad you jumped in, wish you were here earlier.

What up Ill======> Naw I dont…Ill check into it though…What Ive been reading moreso is the link of Human DNA and the Universe…..How we are all connected…

My dear i was about to send out the search party!

what Up Nina=====> I concur…lol

@Purp

“LOL Sydney….you can learn something from the ignorant too. It keeps your compass metered.”

*shaking head*

No, it just irritates me.

And they’re rude, too?

*in my Maya from “Girlfriends” voice*

Oh, he** no.

@ Nina

You may have jumped in but you gave a fresh perspective….good post. If we not careful they gonna rewrite our history again and put our beginnings at the emancipation proclamation…..or the civil rights movement. Look at a school history book today and they are slowly taking the word “slave” and replacing it with “indentured servant”….smh.

@ Redd

Yeah, I know your research is based more on universal law than individuality….I just thought you might have run across it. I feel what you were saying in the previous posts..what is it? Like 98% of our DNA is the same no matter what….but you have to admit..as complex as DNA is that other 2% is a mutha.

@Ill

They’ve replaced “slave” with “indentured servant?”

Next thing you know they’ll say that the videos of police using firehoses on people was just a little water playtime. . .

MISS BLAZE43!!!

First of all how old are you? Where do you live? All that has something to do with your culture and what you believe…like I said, Blacks were ignorant enough to fall for it and they still fall for it!!! That is the sad thing…you can see that with drugs and violence in most of the communities. Running around like animals and not respecting eachother. I am not saying that what you said didnt happen, believe me, my family is from Broussard plantation…read about that…I know my history, but do you know yours? I just believe that arguing about what happened in the past is irrelevant to what is going on now. Is this going to make gas go down or fix our economy or save people from foreclosure? You will realize that you are narrow minded once you expand and realize its all part of life…the white man got over on a lot of folks…but your job is to not let it happen again…what are you going to do or rather what are you doing that will prevent this or any other tragedies that may come across our people. What are you doing that is constructive and positive?

@ Illuminate Truth

We are lost. I wish I could go back and ask a relative of mine about our true language and culture, but we can’t.

Every other group of people can trace their ancesstry back to the time when they arrived on the Mayflower – WHY CAN’T WE?

Once again, it’s because THEY DON’T WANT US TO KNOW. While we already know that we’re descendants of KINGS AND QUEENS, I want to know exactly Which Queen and exactly Which King. You know what I mean?

Why can’t we trace our lineage back to those times?

Is MissBlaze coming under attack?

Stop the madness.

@Mrs Cav

the “White Man” is a term used to describe the establishment of laws, policies, employment trend, media, and general attitudes that incorporate racism into our society. So this group includes Presidents who let a whole city drown, Judges who issue harsher sentences to blacks that whites for the same crimes, the lawmaker who write laws were crack holds a higher penalty than cocaine, police officers who racially profile, doctor who provide inadequate care to minorities, school administrators who enroll black boys in remedial classes without the benefit of testing, corporate executive who hire white employees over more qualified black applicants because they feel the white person would “fit in better” and all the everyday average white people who benefit from such actions and allow them to continue by not doing anything to oppose or even acknowledge it.

@ Syd

LOL……and the dogs were for therapeutic reasons…like they do with the sick children in hospitals. Seriously though, if you look in history books they are giving our youth today, it really is obvious they are attempting to belittle slavery even more….and what is with all the pictures / portraits of slaves…they are always smiling….what the eff (censoring myself just for you Syd) are they so happy for??!!

@MISS BLAZE 43

_____________________________________________________________

You know I think I read something where using DNA they can give you an approxiamation of what region your ancestors may have originated from.

It won’t give specifics like family trees but it’s better than not having any info. I thought it was interesting but I don’t know the name of the service/company.

@ Miss Blaze

There is a system out there where they can trace your roots using DNA…..I’m leery of turning over mines though…..just don’t trust it. But I trust little.

Yeah, a white persons family tree is filled with their history…their KNOWN history. But ours is more like a family plant…..our roots aren’t deep enough to support a tree.

@ tara

you say you know your history, but what is the history of drugs and the black community. Also what is it that we fell for?

Hey Man, Blaq

@Ill

Don’t censor yourself for me, bruh. Let it loose.

OK, I’m very interested in watching just how much history does undergo a bit of revision in our “post-racial” America.

You didn’t know the slaves were happy and whistling Dixie while they worked?

@ Man (wassup Brah)

Yeah, the search for roots using DNA can be found on africanancestry.com…….there are a lot of different ones though. I just suggest researching to find the most reputable one.

FYI, there’s info on DNA testing to trace ancestral roots on theroot.com.

Hey Shay!

@ Tara

Oh, the past has EVERYTHING to do with how we are as a people today!

What happened to EACH ONE – TEACH ONE. You want to know what happened to US?

When you got caught doing something as a kid and your neighbor popped you for it – you got popped again by your parent for DISRESPECTING that neighbor.

Oh, I’m 43 years old, love. Have two daughters and a grandson.

I was SHOCKED AND APPALLED to see little kids talking back to Ma’Dear and talking back to their elders – THAT’S BECAUSE WE’VE LOST SIGHT OF HAVING RESPECT FOR OURSELVES.

When Shaniqua got mad because a neighbor chastised her child for doing wrong, she didn’t like it. NOW WE HAVE NO VILLAGE TO RAISE OUR KIDS because we’ve forgotten WHAT THAT WAS ALL ABOUT.

I spent my summers in Savannaha, GA growing up – you better say yes Ma’Dear or Yes Sir or No Sir – TO YOUR FAMILY. Otherwise my great-grandmother would have no qualm in slapping every single tooth down my throat.

When the VILLAGE STOPPED RAISING OUR CHILDREN – THAT’S WHEN WE LOST RESPECT FOR OURSELVES AND ANYBODY ELSE IN THIS WORLD.

Yes, my grandson shows me AND any other person RESPECT because that’s what we teach him.

To bad I can’t say the same for the rest of our youth!!!

i feel you Nina, I always ask questions and want to know more and thats a good thing. Spirituality is so much bigger than religion, how could you not want to see the bigger picture. Redd is right on when he said its all in the Stars. The Universal Life is much bigger than this planet.

@SYDNEY

“Indentured servants were grateful for a chance to gain valuable and marketable work experience. A second benefit was a low or free cost of living while in servitude. While some were treated inhumanely the majority were viewed as an asset by those they served and a appreciated member of society.”

Yeah… get used to reading ish like that.

I suggest home schooling.

Africa isn’t only about “rape” and “killings” — It’s a continent full of countries where there’s a lot of good and prosperity taking place, but if you confine yourself to certain sources of information that’s all you’ll see.

There was also genocide in Serbia and other countries as well, not just in African nations.

@ Sydney

Yeah, this Tara chick is gunnin’ for a sistah. I ALWAYS seem to be the one singled out. Everybody can be posting the same damn thing as me, but nooooo. We gonna go after MissBlaze.

LMAO!!!

@ CorpCutie

What’s up, Ma? I’m about to get the heck out of here – I can’t believe I even showed up at work today at all.

As you can see, I did a WHOLE lot of work today..LOL

@Ill===> yeah scientific research previously stated that only 10% of human DNA has a purpose or is used within the body and the other 90% is junk…but now research show that every strand has a purpose, and is a phenonenon all in itself…Simply put, your conscousness shapes your reality…literally…

What up Blaq! Me neither Happy Times to you too…hahahah

Hey Blaq!

You start posting like that and I will assume its an imposter…lol.

No that maybe not all Africa is but that is a huge part of that country, and that should not be trivalized because we want it to seem “all good” over there.

@ everybody- all you fmales and black males associting with tru3playboy- I hope you realize who you all conversate with on a daily basis. Those were his words,not mine. I just wanted to show that uderneath all that small talk about race relations, therein lurks a beast, that is waiting..Stand next to and by your black male..Rest assured, despite all that’s been said, they will come, and when they do, be ready…..

the Devil is a liar and he is always near, isn’t that right, tru3playboy?? See how I pulled you out of your sheep’s clothing, to expose, who you really are and what you really think..And why all this ish that you all kick about race, is inaccurate…you spend all this time trying to defend your reasons, when you are even worse, than what you’re portraying….I’m glad, you had your peace, and I will always keep a piece, so there will always be peace, wherever I am….

@MissBlaze

“I ALWAYS seem to be the one singled out. Everybody can be posting the same damn thing as me, but nooooo. We gonna go after MissBlaze.”

It must be your smokin’ hot gravie. LOL!

@ Tara

when you are studying African and African American History, you must consider the source. for instance the movie Shaka Zulu was produced by the post apartheid South African Government. History = His Story.

Purpple… yhea home-schooling seems more and more appealing everyday! When I have kids they might not never see the inside of a school.

yes the universe is a much bigger concept,that people just aint ready for. Sprituality is actually the only reality. Religion is the middle man, trying to get rich. Religion blocks the path to true sprituality.

@ Tara

Will you please go WAY back up and read ALL of my posts.

How in the world can you even think that I condone GENOCIDE?!

MISS BLAZE43!!

When did the village stop raising our children? Why did we stop? Have you lived any where else besides GA? Have you lived outside he US? Do you teach your grandson to respect all races? Do you teach him to respect everyone’s views or do you raise him to be one sided like you?
ALWAYS KNEW!!!!

Also, I would like to add…that jamaicans, haitians, samoans, africans dont even like us…they consider us weak and we are the white man’s porch monkey…most jamaicans consider black american men gay…which they are becoming more and more…you cant really say who likes what and who doesnt like who…I have friends of all races…all types…from all different backgrounds..its really not that serious…if you guys put just as much time in talking to your own folks as you do to others that may or may not be interested in your ideals than maybe you would have more success…it just sounds like caca to me…

Sometimes its what we believe that keeps us stagnant.

Where did that quote come from, always knew?

“Religion blocks the path to true sprituality.”

T-shirt worthy……

PREACH NINA!
If people would only understand the mental slavery is the worst and most debilitating part. If youve got the mind, you dont need chains.

LOL, I have to laugh at the sheer irony of all this. . .

We’re on a blog geared towards African Americans, and we have the *gasp* audacity to talk about blacks (in a positive manner, no less), and that makes us racist, close-minded individuals. . .

*throwing up a shield around MissBlaze*

Racism is still alive.

Blaq,

I live by considering the source. My grandmother taught me that…and to always ask questions…Im sitting here cracking up at some of these posts…and we wonder why black people cant unite? I have read and studied, because as a young girl I was very interested in many things and I love a heated discussion. So I studied mostly all religions, all races…even the human psych…mental illness….I always research from as many sides as I possibly can. I try to step in everyone’s shoes…I try to understand the situation at all angles…even pertaining to this topic, which I will call the Katrina incident. Like I said in all that chaos, no one can really be held accountable…I dont blame those people for protecting their homes…and families.

@Ill

Im telling you dogg…ever since Ive been reading that stuff, Its like the lid has blown off my mind…It makes us look like idiots because of all of the racial tension amongst humanity… Read man, read it and understand, the possibilities are endless…This is so new, as recent as 2006-07

One of the first things W. Lynch said to his fellow slave owners?…..”Put the fear of God in em!”

“Religion blocks the path to true sprituality.”

T-shirt worthy……

What’s your point? Can you sum it up in one statement?

@TARA
“Like I said in all that chaos, no one can really be held accountable…I dont blame those people for protecting their homes…and families.”
______________________________________________________________

How do you define “Chaos?”

@ Man i just dont care

Wat up Man , I come to this thread because someone farted on the other one and people have ran off , what yall talking bout africa ?

@ Illuminate Truth

I got another one for you, and then I’m out:

RELIGION IS FOR THOSE WHO ARE AFRIAD OF GOING TO HELL, AND SPIRITUALITY ARE FOR THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY BEEN THERE!!!

I’ll holla…

PEACE

Tara,

Have you read The Nation article? It went beyond “protecting” homes.

Excerpt below:

“Some of the gunmen prowling Algiers Point were out to wage a race war, says one woman whose uncle and two cousins joined the cause. A former New Orleanian, this source spoke to me anonymously because she fears her relatives could be prosecuted for their crimes. “My uncle was very excited that it was a free-for-all–white against black–that he could participate in,” says the woman. “For him, the opportunity to hunt black people was a joy.”

“They didn’t want any of the ‘ghetto niggers’ coming over” from the east side of the river, she says, adding that her relatives viewed African-Americans who wandered into Algiers Point as “fair game.” One of her cousins, a young man in his 20s, sent an e-mail to her and several other family members describing his adventures with the militia. He had attached a photo in which he posed next to an African-American man who’d been fatally shot. The tone of the e-mail, she says, was “gleeful”–her cousin was happy that “they were shooting niggers.”

Where did “Tara” go?

It’s been intersting to say the least.

If youve got the mind, you dont need chains.

That’s great that you pointed that out, however even if they were “defending their homes” it doesn’t justify murder.

Not morally or via the constitution.

Life > Property

Peace errbody…..time to unplug and return to Zion…..the mothership is warmed and ready.

Mon dieu!

*holding head*

I really to put that on a tshirt….lol

its true, why not.

@Man

“That’s great that you pointed that out, however even if they were “defending their homes” it doesn’t justify murder.”

I agree, brother, I agree. . .

*still holding head*

Ok. I’m out. Holla at yall lata.

SYDNEY!!!

What positive thing have you said about black people? You have brought up some mentionable names in history, but what and how does that influence our future?

MISS BLAZE43 spoke about the village not raising our children any more…and I would like to say that that is not true. Oh there still is a village, but it has changed…to crack head moms…and gangsta dads…the village is still raising your children…just not in a positive way…the village is the environment and the people in that environment and now it has spilled out into Media, by way of BET and MTV and so forth. Parents are not teaching…grandparents have given up…so our youth are and have been for quite some time running around with their heads cut off. You can’t blame slavery forever. Get over it, dust it off and keep it pushin!!

@ Nina Knows

Explain Why

@ Tara

It’s funny how you can see the reasoning for these peoples actions but consider the ills of the black community are the result of our ignorance. We just got duped. You speak about the crime and drugs in the black community…how did the cocaine that is grown thousands of miles away find it’s home in ghetto, where no one owns planes. How did the guns arrive in the black neighborhoods. Why would the city zoning departments allow so many liquor stores and gun shop to be concentrated in a high crime neighborhood? Who wrote these books you studies about pre-slavery Africa? Which is funny since slavery has been around since B.C. so I don’t know who penned a pre-slavery history book.

Tara, you already attacked MissBlaze who has left for the day. . .

Please leave me alone and read the The Nation article if you haven’t already.

Thank you kindly.

Those quotes are the truth.
Its so beautiful when your mind is free though.

Peace ILL!

PLEASE LET’S DO OUR PART! PLEASE EMAIL/FORWARD THIS VIDEO TO CNN, MSN, 20/20, PRIMETIME, BET, OPRAH……..

@Ill===> Ill take that title..hahahahaha

@Tara====>I concur Miss Lady…

@tru3playboy- Am I racist, because I stated some facts or am I racist, because I don’t buy into what you say??? If it didn’t apply, you would’ve not spilled that little racist gem…spanish people don’t like blacks…you are all a deriative of each other..it is thesame race, even though you feel as though you are better than your counterparts…@Redd Tony- I see what you are saying, but it makes me no nevermind, you are screaming that I am a racist, yet, when I point out facts, no one says anything, that dispels what I have stated…Black males are being slaughtered. There needs to be something done….

Being told by people that are non-white that I am racist, cannot be factual. I have no real power, if I did, then black men would not be getting killed like this, in this day and age..I’m certaintly not expecting people who are not familiar with our struggle to agree, they have not been there, so how can they possibly KNOW? But for him to suggest, that I am racist, because as ARTICLE ABOUT RACISM, WAS POSTED ABOUT BLACK MALES BEING KILLED, is idiotic at best..No matter how educated you try to get…Believe me, you should NOT raise your sons / daughters to blend with them either, do you not believe what you read? He just told the truth, why take your agressions, out on me because I feel as strong as you do, about your own? I LOVE MY BLACK MEN WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING. I will not apologize. I seek their prosperity and with them, the black women will come along…I was pointing out Redd Toney- that if he wasn’t mixed, he would’ve NEVER won the presidency. There’s still such a thing, as the black man not having to be to threatning…And if you really want to know the truth, that’s why Barack had to spend all that money on the infomercial; to remind whites that he had a white mother and that they didn’t need to be afraid. If he wasn’t black, the election would’ve been wrapped up way back in September, when he was still having to deal with Hillary….Yes, I know he’s half-white, I accept Barack, wholly and with him he brings Michelle, Malia and Sasha. I completely TRUST him….It is what it is..I didn’t write the article, but it’s not OK. It shouldn’t be business as usual….

I won’t be responding to you as you try to kiss ass and make up with your cyber buddies. I hope they see you for who you really are…I know who I am, where I come from, where I am going..I am doing me, so don’t worry about what I am doing, worry about what you’re NOT doing….

I’m taking my kids out, so I can clear my head and get this frustration of me. Transference…May you have a great day and may all your hared toward black males and females choke you….

CRYSTAL STAIR by LANGSTON HUGHES

Well, son, I’ll tell you:
Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.
It’s had tacks in it,
And splinters,
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor –
Bare.
But all the time
I’se been a-climbin’ on,
And reachin’ landin’s,
And turnin’ corners,
And sometimes goin’ in the dark
Where there ain’t been no light.
So boy, don’t you turn back.
Don’t you set down on the steps
‘Cause you finds it’s kinder hard.
Don’t you fall now –
For I’se still goin’, honey,
I’se still climbin’,
And life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.

I’m out..

@Pedro

I believe its true because every aspect of the writting relates to today….

Thanks Purp!! I’m going to drop you a line in your email soon.

I’m out…..for now. Peace.

Responding- to put it to yall lightly, I don’t want ghetto niggers coming into my neighborhood either! The people weren’t out hunting…they were popping off people in their vicinity. How many black men hunt for black males to kill every nite? HMM?? So stuff like that doesnt really bother me…cause I see it here on the west coast everyday..but the shooter is looking like me..or my brother or my son or my father…and to me its the same mentality…we as a people dont see eachother as human no one else will either…plus before Katrina…New Orleans was out of control…cops that are dealing drugs…school principals prostituting the young girls…lil 8 year old boys…running around shooting folks like they are crazy…U betta ask Lil Wayne and Baby how it really was….they have good people there but they live in terror every nite…kids see empty shells on the way to school…some collecting them or kicking them…for them its life…and their living conditions are not good…most of those folks didnt see any future…and if you really want to know the truth…Houston is having problems from those same niggers from New Orleans…crime has tripled…resources have been wiped out….nobody wants that…but we are all coming from different life experiences so we will all have different views…I enjoy expressing myself and enjoy reading every one elses…

@ Nina Knows

lol ok . Please Explain How willie lynch aka ( Will he lynch notice the word play) saw “negroes” hanging on a tree iin 1712 when lynching only become common in the 19th century ????

“The Black slave after receiving this indoctrination shall carry on and will become self re-fueling and self generating for hundreds of years.”

Tell me who the hell can you be “Re-fueling” in 1712

“In my bag here, I have a fool proof method for controlling your Black
slaves.”

Why would he use a Capital B for black in 1712 ?? when that only started in the 1960′s

@Always Knew

There is no doubt that something needs to done about this situation, hell they were quick to convict US soldiers for killing Iraqis…. but shooting whitey, and exchanges of hate ARE NOT THE ANSWER….While those racits white folk in N.O were dead wrong, there is a bigger problem in our community from us killing our own..Aleviating the discord amongst ourselves I beleive is the first step..

see you Nina and Redd..and Sydney

Im out the door too

@ Red tonny

I fell u dogg and respect your opinions unlike some .But willie lynch has to many mistakes in it to be actually true .In his story he Uses the word “Color”
but why would he use that because hes supposedly english and english people spell it “Colour”

BLAQ!!!

They have a choice whether to buy the drugs!!! They have a choice whether to buy liqour!! I do not drink, I do not do drugs…I do not shop at liquor stores…you need to teach these people that there is a whole world beyond their neighborhood!! We all have a choice!!! Just like I teach my sons that every decision they make in life is going to affect them either in a positive way or a negative way so think before they act!!! Black people need to stop being the victim, and make moves. You guys feel people owe you something…no one owes you anything…get up, get out and get something…don’t let life pass you by…LOL! stop using the past as an excuse…like i said dust it off…

guess everyone checked out

Aight Purp Holla achu!

I feel you Pedro, you paying attention to detail, maybe they altered it a bit to form to modern script..I dont know, but Willie Lynch was a real slave owner. The writting shows the psycological effect till this day…Dont forget slavery initiated back in 1520′s, so you had scholars trying to keep Blacks slaves as long as they could…In order to do that you must break them psycologically….

OK, Tara is a troll with a penchant for exclamation marks. . .

“Ni**ers?”

“You guys?”

Hmmm. . .

Good night, all!

@ Red tony

“Willie Lynch was a real slave owner”

You a 100% Right he was a real slave owner what owned slaves BUT Captain William Lynch was born 1742 . 30 Years after the supposed “speech” Yes white people don’t want us to unite with other blacks and become a unite but no way can i believe they predict that the Issue of Light Skin vs Dark skin would have been pre-planed 300 years before lol White people are smart BUT not THAT smart C’mon people

Pedro, scholars back then observed human activity amonsgt the slaves..You heard of the term “House Negro/ Field Negro…They saw arguments like in the fields… the Light skin slaves were observed by the dark skin slaves as being treated better because they were the slave owners kids..they put the slaves differences on blast, to create discord..as long as you have a mental discord amongst a people, you can easily manipulate them

@ pedro

predicted vs. planned. This was not a prediction it was a plan. The division was made in slavery and promoted even until today. If you find it hard to believe the europeans who ruled India set in place the same color division with the cast system, look it up.

I agree with people, in that, you can’t alwasys blame it on slavery. What I am saying, is this, Black people’s lives- whether male or female- have always been discounted…You’d be a fool, not to know that…you hve to know where you’ve been to know where you’re going…And my sons, are being educated in private schools, then when they are about 8, private boarding schools….they will still come home on breaks and vacations, but I wil being doing humanitarian work overseas, and till taking care of my mother…Yes, it’s good to be educated but not when it was impartial, and not the whole truth….

I don’t condone doing wrong, but some people were not looting, whites came out in packs, and shot some blacks, in the back, that’s not called for, no matter what you say…The fact that you are an African-American female doesn’t move me either…Some of our females have also betrayed us…@ Tara- I’m not mad at you or anyone else, that doesn’t care, this is a community problem, that we, as black folks, must solve….

@ Redd Toney- I’m glad that we agree on something…

The quote I was using came from tru3playboy…You’ll have to scroll through the comments to read what was typed…

For real, I really hesitate to call other Black people racist (cause of my understanding of the word), but some of this stuff I have read is absolutely scary. I just had to get that off my chest. There is some extreme prejudice going on that is being proclaimed as truth, and it is not.

@NEWORLEANS…you are sooo clouded, i’m pretty sure if you would have walked your black..oops, let me get PC, African American ass thru Algiers that day your guts would have been blasted on the f-in street. There’s a special place in Hell for those types of people, racist killers; that goes for ANY race. People like you make me ILL!!

Signed by,
an African American as well…

the color thing is well and alive- there is a disparging comment almost everyday in regards to black or dark skin…In other races, the Indians discriminate on the basis of light or dark, in China, the same thing, in the Mid-East , same thing, in Africa, Great Britain, and the United States. When I was in Canada, I got called a Nigger, when we were coming from the Carnival, that they have every year, by an Asian woman, this color thing is global as well as in our community..To this day on this website, there are so many put-downs and negative remarks, in reference to women of color. EVeryday there is some negative remark, if the female is not aslight as Rihanna or Beyonce…I am more of the Lauren Hill type, (before she got messed up)…I acknowledge that there is still much to learn on my behalf, HOWEVER, I’m not going to let you piss on me and tell me it’s raining, either….

@ Red tonny and Blaqe

I digg ya opnions

@Snopp bloggy blog

wat up dog ?

@ tara

Why do you think there are so many treatment centers in the country, drugs are a national epidemic. It’s called addiction. Addiction has rose to the highest offices of the nation. Why do people use drugs? Why do people drink alcohol? I lived in a city that primarily white, full of drug addicts, why? poverty! When people are downtrodden they look for escapes, the escape they find is usually drugs. You can’t even be fired for being a drug addict, because it is a disease. A disease that has inflicted politicians, celebrities, doctors, lawyers housewives, if the people with everything in their favor use drugs it would explain why poor, low-self esteem, those who are discriminiated and undereducated would fall to lure of drugs. Take a look at any poor community in the world, I bet they have a drug problem, Why is it that the drug addiction in Iraq and Afghanistan have skyrocketed since the destruction of those countries? I guess they just want to be victims too.

@snoopbloggyblog-’Black children are not painted a positive picture of their future they are not encouraged or expected to seek greatness, and when they do fall off there are thousands of people with your attitude who didn’t anticipate anything else’

I dig the fact you are open to ideas other than your own. Smart man.

I read all opinions and I respect that okay now respect this……BLACK are the choosen people…….(that will piss ppl off) this message is entended for WHITEYS………….

Im BACK and Im bigdy bigdy bgidy BLACK…..lololol

@Pedro====> no doubt lil bro, keep comming on these types of threads, we all need to talk about this and come up with solutions…

@always knew

Have you been anywhere else outside of the US except Cananda

All came from black (except) the Europeans..All started in AFRICA………READ

lololol

@ pedro whaddup harlem, you in here kickin knowledge fam

blaq!

I have two black sons whom I love very much…and I so far, have done a great job…My experiences are different in that I didnt need to see Barack Obama become president to feel good about black men…I have Barack Obamas in my family. My Grandfather, my stepfather, my uncles, I grew up seeing successful, smart, loving, caring, honest, hardworking men in my family…I was raised by real black men…not these lil boys dressed up trying to be what they think a black man is. Alot of you have prejudge me. Let me tell you this…My grandfather was a proud black man…he fought along side the black panthers, had his head busted open by some racist white man…and damn near died. My grandfather danced with me on his toes and he could fix anything, he was a strong handsome that everyone loved…and eventhough he moved out of New Orleans, to make sure his family had better opportunities, he returned their thinking that he would enjoy his retirement….when he arrived, he got a lil part time job just to keep him busy…and help put his last child through college at Dillard University…first night he was there he couldnt believe the gunfire going on, told me it sounded like a war out there…next morning..he couldnt believe bodies still laid in the street while he walked to work and saw kids looking at that while walking to school…once my grandfather made it to the bus stop…the man was robbed at gun point of everything he had including his watch that had a lot of sentimental value by some punk kids…with golds in their mouth…pants sagging…how do you think he felt? They had no respect. I was just thankful that they didnt take his life. So dont tell me about thugs being people too…when you act like animals you will be treated like animals…

*returning for a sec*

You know, reviewing some of these comments reminds me what I was told a while ago about some of the perceptions by some blacks regarding the Civil Rights Movements. There were brothers and sisters who disliked MLK and others like him greatly and thought they were rabble-rousers who were creating unnecessary trouble.

I think with each generation, there are “doers” and talkers. Some will look at this video and read more about what actually occurred in La. and be moved to action, and others will not.

To me, this is not a race issue — It’s an issue of justice, of ensuring that a travesty like this will never happen again.

@ always knew

that was my post, and there is nothing wrong with a petition. We have to make our voice heard, we have to protest and DEMAND our elected officials do our bidding. That is the reason we have gained the freedoms we enjoy today. Get the drugs out of our community and the rest will follow. Now that we see that we can put a black man in the white house our faith can be renewed. We can get rid of these bias judges and district attorneys. We need to monitor the police departments and let the appointed official know the main priority in our community is to stop the drug traffic, not by busting some corner d-boy, but putting all that homeland security money on the borders and stop allowing the cocaine in the country.

WTF? Thats some BS. But I am not surprised and no one else from the South should be.

And (before I get jumped on), I’m referring to justice within the confines of what is legal. As I mentioned before, Colorofchange.org has started a petition drive for a deeper look into this matter.

Sometimes my ppl can be foul ..with that being said I will never write them off..PPl Id rather not be hurt by anyone or robbed but …If I had to choose ….hopefully it would be from my ppl…at least the stolen goods will remain in the hood…..lol ….you mad

@Snoop

Lol im just giving my little thoughts and fellings you know with the homies Blaq and red toney

jim jones voice : Learningggggggggggggggg

love my ppl…can’t help it

Aight Pedro, Blaq, Always Knew, Diamond and Sydney, JK, Tara..Im out, I enjoyed the convo today..I think we got a lil more understanding of each other and we are on the right path.. lets do it again..Peace

@ Tara

I am sure your wonderful grandfather did some stupid things when he was a kid. That’s what kids do. If those thugs had the benefit of having great male role models like you did, their live would have been different. What people fail to realize, is that many of the youth we condemn are second and third generation foster children. The only people they looked up to were Pimps and gangsters, we live in a violent culture. Last week 2 white teenagers did a home invasion on a 76 year old woman, beat her bound her and drove around in the car with her in the trunk. The one who orchestrated the crime sold her vacuum the day before. So whenever I see some white teens in a group I get nervous, because you know they are all the same and should be treated like animals. Right?

DUBYA!!!!

I couldnt have put it any better!

What up Snoop!, Im out till 2 mar dogg… Peace

Whassup Snoop!

@ red tony

Later homie

@ Snopp

Yeah man thats true , by the way dogg is there any new Wst Coast rappers
that you could show me ? I wanna download a few New school W.coast songs for my long ass drive lol

Its not cool for BLACK ppl to rap or steal or even murder their ppl…..with that being said ..BLAME IT ON AMERICA and its treatment of BLACKS …some BLACKS are so far gone from emotion that they hurt their own……NO ITS NOT GOOD ….BUT BLAME IT ON AMERICA AND THE SOCIETY SYSTEM ..NOT JUST YOUR OWM PPL….PEOPLE HAS SUFFERED SINCE SLAVERY AND PAIN EMBEDED IN THWEIR BLOOD LINE >>>GO STUDY

RAPE OR STEAL IS WRONG BUT BLAME ON SOCIETY TO NOT JUST YOUR OWN

IF YOUR NOT GOING TO TAKE EXCUSES FROM BLACKS THEN GET ANSWERS FROM YOUR GOVERNMENT TOO AS WELL AND DONT LET THEM GET AWAY WITH JUST EXCUSES

STARTAT THE TOP ….START WITH THE INVENTORS OF POVERTY THEN HOLLA AT YOUR OWN BLACK PPL………

PPL PLZ……

“STARTAT THE TOP ….START WITH THE INVENTORS OF POVERTY THEN HOLLA AT YOUR OWN BLACK ppl ”

ill answer your question if you rephrase it son

blaq, I love your posts — You are a trooper!

And you’re definitely a Doer.

BLAQ……THANK YOU,,,,START WITH THE SYSTEM BEFORE YOU TAKE UP FOR THESE WHITEYS THAT REALLY DON’T LIKE YOUR ASS AND THE ONES THAT DO WANT YOUR MAN OR EVEN YOU……..

@ pedro

100%

DAMN ….IN REALITY THEY DO OWE US BLACKS.. BUT THAT WONT STOP ME FROM WORKING AND BEING COLLEGE EDUCATED..REAL TALK

I live in the NO and this is a bunch of BS. We would have been heard about this before now. Yes people were getting banged up but not because they were black but because they were looting. Oh and I am black too!

@ Blaq

Oh ok I always pictured you as a dark skinned Black male whenever I saw you posting , But know you told me you a women, I picture you as a meduim toned black women

SOME BLACKS GOT ISSUES ..YESSSS..AGAIN BLAME IT ON THE SYSTEM THAT STARTED POVERTY AND SLAVERY BEFORE YOU BASH YOUR OWN….

How do you tell someone’s skin tone from their posts?

Just curious. . .

DAMN

Sydney,

I assume by skin tone….you mean color? or whether they are light or dark? Not sure what you mean? Or what that has anything to do with anyone’s posts.

IM NOT GONNA ARGUE DUMMY ..BECAUSE IF YOU GO BACK YOU WILL SEE ITS SPELLED RIGHT ITS JUST NOT SPACED OUT….YOU MEAN I DIDNT TYPE RIGHT…GET IT TOGETHER AND READ RIGHT..AHAH

My last post was directed to Pedro.

YA KNOW “START AND AT WASN’T SPACED….OOH YOU FEEL LIKE A FOOL….CLOSE YA MOUTH

I am enjoying this way too much! This is cool that everyone can express themselves and we can converse about heated topics such as this.

LOL….

@ Adiamondcenter

Maybe you should “STARAT” reading your post before you comment , not everybody understand your unique language b

@Dubya

Michelle and Barack both had strong familial support to assist them in being “exceptions.” As Blaq so eloquently mentioned, not everyone has the same level of backing or resources.

I’m not making excuses, I’m echoing what has been said here. If you are an “exception” yourself, then you are in a position to help someone who is struggling to be “exceptional.” Put the anger to good use.

@Pedro

Oh, OK. I thought you had some special method or something.

DUBYA!!

Keep it coming! Tell it!! My Grandparents were the EXCEPTION!! I strive to be an EXCEPTION…people always speak about things from one side…but I know all sides…trust me…I have been through alot in my life…and I push on…so I dont fall for that excuse of not having a father or not having a stable environment…if its in you, it will come out…God is going to make grow regardless…he has brought so many people in my life to help me grow…people of all religions, all races…white people have been just as important as the black people in my life…not my family, that was my great foundation, but just people that I have met along the way. I live in a city that has every race you can think of and my family is like the united nations when we get together. So I know for a fact that not all white people are bad…and not all black people are good…and not all asians are good at math…and not all mexicans are illegal…

How do you know all sides, Tara, when you haven’t even read the article in question in this thread?

Or have you?

Where did everybody done run off to?

Hmm, Pedro, well, your “harlem estimations” are off, lol.

@ dubya

if you qualify all these people to be exceptions, then you are validating a stereotype, that black success only comes as anomalies and that the majority of Blacks are good for nothing etc, etc.This is problematic. As other people have said, your argument also leads to problems as being individual based, and more of a “pull yourself up by the bootstraps” instead of understanding systemic and structural issues. All in all, problematic.

Sydney,

Some people dont want help…trust me. You try to help one of these thugs…its like talking to a brick wall…sometimes something is so in bread in a person that it becomes them…they are stuck…stuck in that mind frame…stuck in that whole self pity, my moms on crack, dad was never around…no body ever gave an F about me, so Im going to knock someone over the head and be a menace to society…some of these dudes develop mental illness which isnt addressed in our culture…but they are bi-polar, depressed, Pschizos, some have anxiety issues…some of them really believe down to their soul that that is how life is supposed to be….its just the way it is…they have become complacent…its damn near impossible to create change in a person, unless that seed was planted a long time ago…

Sydney

————————————————–
I hear you! Michelle and Barack may have not been the best example, but I used to teach high school math in the inner city and saw first hand, many youth who did not have the support from their family but still wanted better. Although they came from thug infested neighborhoods, had deadbeat parents, they wanted better. A tough upbringing is a predicament not unique to the african american community yet we always use it as an excuse as to why there are so many ills in our community. There are far to many people who have risen above it to make it a legitimate excuse any longer.

I can think of so many examples right in my own department of people who have not had support but just wanted better and did better and are well on their way to completing their phds.

It’s just not a good enough excuse anymore, because there are people in the same situation waiting to take advantage of the opportunities we, as african americans squander on a daily basis.

It’s understandable, but it is not justifiable. Enough is Enough.

One more brief comeback lol

@ sydney -

There never off ,the Harlem estimations are allways correct lol I didn’t mean you was dark skined it was just an example , Trust me the h.estimations fully knew you was light skinned

Im out fa real harleeeeeeeem

@Tara

Well, that’s why we should work on reaching more children sooner, isn’t it? Or broadening awareness of the impact of mental illness in our community. Or address the poverty that may lead to criminal behavior among some.

Either we’re going to be “complacent” or we can try to be part of the solution. Talking vs. doing.

@Wahoowa snitches

I agree with your post, but that kind of stereotypical thinking is prevalent on this blog, IMHO.

WAHOOWA SNITCHES!!! PLEASE READ!!!!

Pulling yourself up by the bootstraps is the American Way! I understand the systemic and structural issues. I am black. I never said the majority of blacks are good for nothing…now I will say the majority of the ones in New Orleans are, oooh forgive me Lord!! Let me stop…all jokes aside…I dont know how you can read all my posts and say that I am perpetuating the stereotype that the majority of my folks are good for nothing when I have explained that I have been surrounded by exceptional (not because of what they are doing or have done in life) but they are exceptional because of what they have accomplished due to their so-called obstacles. Due to them being able to overcome or avoid those same systemic and structural issues you have mentioned and not let it get in their way.

Wrong again, Pedro! lol

@Sydney

Thank you, and yeah I’ve been reading some of this. It’s a lil spooky for real.

@ dubya

if you qualify all these people to be exceptions, then you are validating a stereotype, that black success only comes as anomalies and that the majority of Blacks are good for nothing etc, etc.This is problematic. As other people have said, your argument also leads to problems as being individual based, and more of a “pull yourself up by the bootstraps” instead of understanding systemic and structural issues. All in all, problematic
————————————————-
Two things:
1. I never labeled them as exceptions. I was simply responding to Blaq who first labeled the south african woman as an “exception”. Go back and read the posts.

2. Put my comments in context. I am talking about people who came from poor upbringings or general life hardships. They are an exception if this is the case and they go on to rise above it all.

Pulling yourself up by the bootstrap is the FIRST in a series of important steps needed in the african american community. I’m working on my Phd in economics here in Boston, MA. I can’t successfully study the economic plight in my own community if I don’t first obtain the knowledge for myself. Once I finish up my studies, I can go back and lift up those in my community. I can study the issues in our community and I can offer up solutions. I can teach fellow african americans, I can encourage more of us to enter the field.

But, as an african american female, I have the right to be individualistic too. I can work my hardest to achieve my goals, but the responsibility to remedy the community is not solely on me. I can only do so much and I should not be expected to carry the burden. It’s time for all of us to wake up.

Sydney,

Who said I didn’t. I would tell you some organizations that I belong to and you would probably get a better understanding of where I am coming from, not to mention my son comes along with me. I love children and I am a child advocate, I also petition to gain more $$ for our public schools cause it has been the practice that California will put more $$ into the predominantly white schools, while predominantly black and latino schools go with out adequate books and computers. I am very active in my community, so think you should walk the walk before you talk the talk, Miss Lady…I also am known as the crazy black mom too…with a bat…I have no problem with hemmin these lil boys up if they look at me crazy and I dare them to go and get their Mommas…whether I catch them spray painting my steps or whether they look at me crazy…they know Im going to say something…but then they all love me…cause they respect me…they sit and ask me what I do for a living…and they are so interested…Im a professional black woman and I carry myself as such…and I am a role model in my community and in my home…even to my fiance…so Sydney, I am on my way to my castle…it was great speaking w/ everyone today. I have learned a great deal.

Thank you all for your time and consideration

Remember to live and not be lived through!

1,2..

Is that you, Film?

@Dubya

Congrats on your doctoral studies. And, no, I don’t think anyone is saying any of us is responsible for “carrying the burden.” It’s an individual’s choice how much he or she wants to volunteer, participate in advocacy, etc.

One question for you: Why did you turn the thread yesterday into an address on black women and obesity when there were only white women featured in the video (unless one of them ate a sister as an appetizer)?

I just wonder how some of these threads — like today’s — veer so wildly from the topic at hand. . .

@ Dubya, Tara, Sydney

Good discussion. This is the only reason I come on this lying ass, biased site. See all the intelligent thinkers here. I know it sounds corny, but I really do see a change coming.

1,2…

@blaq

You see a change coming? You are optimistic.

Ok, everyone- here we go..most of you will read this tomorrow, because I know that your off and don’t have the time to read this,but here goes…

Dollars is what counts. The entire United States is owned by 10% of the people. Yes, that’s right, 90% are OWNED by the minority…If rules and regulations are put in place, so that you and anyone that looks like you, don’t succeed, that’s racism. Racism is when you have the institutional power to affect a mass people and the way that they live. Our problems didn’t begin in slavery,they were exacerbated by slaver. I am talking about the United States. Most states had ‘colonized’. Th reason that this is important,is because most of you, claim that you are not enslaved, but are quick to cut down a black person, etc. especially if that person is of a darker hue. If we were all being ‘real’ which we are not, most of you would admit to the “white-washing” of America. Everything that is light and damn near white is loved and cherished. Our own even think, that black boys and girls are are ‘ugly’ if they are dark , or not light-skinned. What kind of ignorance? The same ignorance that started when this country accepted blacks as chattel and made it right to dehumanize life. Which most of you seem to be afflicted by. I know with the brownin of America, it is too painful, to see just where you are really from or what we had to endure. Quite frnkly, most of you would probably prefer to ignore, any of our history. You see it everyday. The brother at the store with his white female, the black boy in social services, cause his family don’t care, or in jail, or dead. There are many problems within our community, ifyou lok for them. But this article, was clearly about BLACK MEN DYING FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I would like to stick to the topic, at hand. If you are going to type, at least know what you are typing about…You should not open your mouth to call someone ignorant, when you clearly don’t KNOW OR UNDESTAND why things are the way they are…..BTW: Look up the real meaning, of “COLONIZATION”, I know that’s a little above your comprehesion level and all…..

that should’ve been UNDERSTAND…(typing too fast)..

Blaq,

I know I said I was on my way home, but I had to respond. It’s not about looking down at black people, its about being an example…maybe I’m not looking down and they are looking up…someone has to do it…are you mad cause Im not poor and I am doing what everyone should be doing which is working towards a greater future for themselves?

@Sydney

yeah. if I’m trying to read a real blog on race, I’ll just go to racialicious

Spuddy,

gotta go, respond when I get home…look forward to it sir.

yeah…..

@wahoowa snitches

I read Racialicious sometimes. Good blog. There are others as well.

Are you new here? I don’t recognize your SN.

Nawlins!!……used to be a great place to visit!

Film, are you having trouble posting? lol

Or are you testing your mic? 1-2. . .1-2. . .

Tara,
I am NOT a Sir! I am a Ma’am. Last time I checked I do not have the equipment to be a “Sir” and my boyfriend and 2 daughters I gave birth to can vouche for that.

Hi, We “Blacks”

Stop all that Nat Turner talk. . .

Sydney, Blaq, Tara, I’m curious, what do you see? I know Blaq sees a change coming? What is the basis for that optimism? I want to believe you, I really do, what causes you to feel that way?

If you read over the blog, it seems like we are fighting among each other. This is what is expected? Stick to the facts, an innocent man was shot for no reason. That was an injustice and needs national attention. National exposure solves cases! (RIP Cassie Anthony)

@Sydney

I read all the time, but I’m never motivated to post. I don’t really like blogs and the internet and such. And I only have time now cause I’m on break.

@ Dubya

I think the issue is that I understand exceptionalism in a different context than you do, and I will leave it at that. No problem there, just different understandings. Have a good night.

1,2……

funny, huh…….

Good night, Wahoowa. Nice chatting with you.

@Dubya

Well, I think there a number of informed brothers and sisters — like some on this blog — who do have the knowledge and resources to bring real attention and change to some of the issues we’ve discussed today. I do value the valid points brought up from varying sides, and I do see the issues from different perspectives.

I do find it a bit distressing that — as someone just mentioned — a thread on innocent victims can be turned into another “this is what’s wrong with black people” discussion without any real resolution. I think that’s harmful and diverts our attention from the underlying causes of these challenges. For example, I think class is a huge divider of people in this country, and I think it as well as race played a role in what occurred in La.

I got reinforcements!!!! What’s up We Blacks…..

co-sign

@Film

“funny, huh…….”

Yup, lol.

Microphone, checka, 1-2, checka. . .

@dubya

LOL, being a BAP is OK.

Sydney, did you just call me Nat Turner?? Thank you!!! You can call me Toussaint L’ouverture too cause I’m not buying their nonsense anymore. Nope. Nah-uh. You can call me Crazy Horse AND Shaka. You can call me any name that is connected with a fight for freedom and truth and mental emancipation, girl. Everybody here knows EXACTLY where my ass stands on these issues. Girl you’d better ask somebody! LOL
Seriously though. Bad bad group karma. Baaaad. As my creole Grandma used to say (When I could understand her country self) “Dey got dat bad ju-ju chile”

LOL @ We “Blacks”

If you had posted that earlier, you would have thrown in with the rest of the “black racists.” lol

It has been quite a day.

What’s up Blaq!!

*Opening her long trench coat to display her wares like they’re Rolexes*
I got that trufe! It’s real…you can’t get a deal like this anywhere. Nice and shiny golden trufe!

hahahahah!

LOL Sydney, girl I’m used to being thrown into the Black racist,crazy afro eccenrtic pile. Ain’t no thang but a chicken wang! The truth hurts!

Okay, just for that I’m going to Put A Spell On You.

go…..

OK, I’m going to go (I was waiting for you Film, but you’re taking too long — Hope all is well).

It was a pleasure talking with you all and thank you for the very interesting, and enlightening, conversation.

Have a wonderful evening.

eccentric*

White people always take it to the next level.

shooting people? c’mon now!

they need to be beat the hell up.

@We “Blacks”

Yeah, it was heated in here earlier. . .

What, Film? A spell?

Is that really you? I need evidence.

Isn’t that Nina Simone…..

what evidence……

i agree with this video….they are racist in new orleans & not only there but everywhere else in the south! & people dont want to admit that or accept it as being true when it happens everyday…my sister was in katrina & i would be damned if someone treated her like the people in this video was treated

@Film

Tell me which actor’s films you ranked for me recently. . .

Denzel……..

@Film

OK, how are you? I have to go, but I may log on later.

I’m okay…….

@ blaq-and yes, I seriously fear white men in a group, especially when there is alcohol involved…but I have always feared white men…my grandmother raised me to not be afraid of black men, cause they are there to protect me…if my grandmother was living today…what do you think she would say? White men are not wrapped too tight and I expect them to be wild…and crazy…and being serial killers and eating the brains of some relative…or do some other crazy ass crime…but Black men…I wasnt raised to see them like that…to see them in that light so I hold them to higher standard because I think more of them…and I love them…When my fiance holds me, the way I feel, man that is priceless…to have a strong, smart, handsome black man at my side, that means a lot to me…and I hold him to a higher standard than I do anyone…cause he is about to be my team mate for life…he doesn’t need any golds in his mouth, or saggy pants…and my husband didnt have a male role model at all…and had it rough, I mean…I don’t know how he has over come all of his obstacles…he is amazing…and he makes me a better person by being his team mate…I think that what is in you will come out…same with Bob Marley…you have to know God has a plan for you…everyone knows right from wrong, I dont care who you are…”
______________________________________

i grew up with my father, as most other black folks, I knew as well…I am talking about the majority of homes, where there is no male head. I was giving the reason as to why Black AMerica is in the deplorable condition, that it’s in. Weare in an emergency state and most look the oter way and use statistics to justify the dehuminization and desecration of the black male…We should not just stand by, yes, I know that we should have a voice, but through bureaucracy and the red tape, what ever gets done? They are just now resolving that Jena 6 mess. I don;t agree with all the trouble that we get ourselves into or the traps that we fall for. But you can most certainly bet, I am not turning my back on my brother. He is my keeper. I do believe that…not in physical sense but more literal sense. Anyways, I;m glad to see you all still conversing on the topic, we do need to stop this craziness going on, and this is how it starts………

WTH, them vigilantees look imbread like a mofo. Especially the one from Chicago saying he earned his wings. Get a life.

Rai what the f#*k are you talking about? Algiers is not racist it is predominately black with the exception of Algiers point which is a small area. Now St. Bernard that’s a different story I don’t go there but it’s Algiers all day for me!

BLAQ!!!

Hey Im just getting home, I consider by California standards I am poor…LOL! I never said what kind of car I drive, or where I live. I am just saying that we dont have to stay in the position that we may have been placed in whether its voluntary or involuntary. You can do something about your situation. I am working my way up still. The reason why I work so hard is so my sons dont give me the same excuses we discussed earlier, just like I couldnt give my grandparents or parents any excuse either. I lead by example.

I have been depressed but I am also strong enough to know that drugs multiply your problems…then you will be looking at jail time and other things that you dont need in your life…again that is ignorant to try and solve a problem while creating another problem, I have the right to feel that way…I grew up to hate drugs…cause I was exposed to it at an early age…I didnt use, but people I loved did and I saw how it tore their lives down…I learned through other peoples mistakes. I understand about being poor…I know that when people are hungry and there is no jobs, no resources, no hope, chaos will ensue. I am sure the White people and not just white lets get that straight there were blacks shooting blacks too. Things can get crazy in a short time. The mentality is totally different. I think everyone on both sides felt like it was time to get crazy…some were looting cause they had to and some were stealing tvs and everything like the New Orleans resident stated. I prayed for everyone that was affected, but to think that there will be something done about these white dudes shooting these black males is completely ridiculous when you had George W. Bush(I like to call him Gee Dubb) who didnt even give a shzz about those folks, you really think they are going to waste their much needed man power and tax dollars on this case? Give me a break. Lets keep it real. America is motivated by monetary issues and nothing else.

Blaq,

it disturbs me that you think its okay to use drugs if you have no other opportunities. Thats crazy! You have choices regardless of what your surroundings are telling you. You have to take that extra step. You create a way when there is no way. It comes from within. There has to be that lil voice that says Im going to get out of this, Im going to be better than this. There are always options even when you may not see them..and it also depends on your faith. Faith is strong with me and in me, because I would have given up a long time ago. I have to tell myself that I can achieve eventhough I have two children I am raising by myself. Yes, I have a fiance now, but he and I live separate and everything I have as of now came from me and no one else help, next year will be different. I have busted my butt and I am very proud of myself, cause to tell you the truth…the women in California have no morals…they are going both ways, using dudes left and right and yeah they have alot of nice things…but at what price…here I am going with out, sacrificing so i can take care of my children, work full time, and go to school full time…I am naturally beautiful, my kids have everything they need, I have been single for a long time, because I felt I was too good for these guys out here and refused to be part of that whole scene. I have zero tolerance…so you know we are coming from two different places. I expect more from black men…way more. My poor fiance (smile). Yeah, I just wanted to say that you can not judge folks being in a situation of chaos. They did what they feel they had to do. I would have done the same thing…and that would have been anyone coming close to my house, my neighborhood or whatever. I am saying its not a white thing, its not a black thing its a human thing…

BLAQ,

All I want to know is where can a black man obtain a job with golds in his mouth and saggy pants? How you dress states where you are going, except if you are a musician or an athlete…or Russel Simmons. When I say saggy pants I am not talking about the style of dress, I am talking ass showing to where I can see their underwear. My fiance does not wear tight ass jeans…but you know when someone is thug and when they are not. You can tell by a way a man is groomed if he has something going for himself. I can tell when a black man is healthy and when he is on some shzz…I had to get on my own son about his pants, I wanted to choke the shzz out of him, we were lounging around the house so he had on his t-shirt and gym shorts and we decided to pick up a pizza I had ordered…when I pulled up, I told him to hop out the car and run and get the pizza, so he hopped out and I noticed his pants was hanging…I was so pissed off that I parked my car and ran in that store and told him to pull his !@@#$% pants up and he said he didnt know they was down that far…I said if I ever catch him doing that again…its going to be me and him…and I told him that its gay and gay dudes are going to get his booty if he keeps walking around flashing it…got that from that show “Lock up Raw”. There was a dude (butt pirate) that was in prison saying how he sees them young dudes come in the prison w/ their pants sagging and that it turns him on and he used to rape them…so I kinda threw that in their for the fear factor…LOL! But yeah I was embarrased as hell! Not because there were white folks, but older black folks, and families and everything in there.
We need to stay on our folks regardless. It isnt about being poor…its about having respect and wanting more for yourself.

@Always Knew, Blaq, Sydney, Ill, JK, Purp, Nina, and whoever was offended by my posts today….

I have a confession…I was making comments today and I didnt even see the video because I couldnt view it at work..All I know is I came into thread and I read your statements about killing whitey, and I thought you sounded kinda off..,So I went straight into asshole mode…I should have waited till I got home to comment, and my sentiment would have been different..While I still do believe that killing all whites off the face of the earth is not the answer, those men who shot those Black Men should be brought to justice…While my objective is not to post ignorant statements, I should have watched the video first….lol and smh… I can be stupid sometimes and cruise on my soapbox. I am not afraid to admit I was a insensitive to the situation, and is a lesson to me that I should get the facts straight before i post…Please accept my apologies my people…Peace

All I have to say, is yes, I reacted when I heard and saw what happened. I was VERY angry. That is not the best or constructive way to express one self. However, that does not excuse the fact, that they (black males) are being hunted down like animals.

@ Blaq- I feel you. I could be on here all day talking about the positive examples, in my life but when I look around at the state of what’s going on, it makes me feel overwhelmed. We have to start caring about each other..and not blaming entire races for what a few bad apples, are trying to do. I respect everybody’s comments that kept it 100. It shouldn’t matter, if you are rich or poor, we must all be treated with dignity and respect. I still have my brothers’ back and I do hope the petition, is successful..I’m tired of hearing that we don’t care..We do.. know I do, I care a heck of a lot…People are to lasse faire, these days…And yes, I miss Big Mama and grandpa too, but it’s still not going to change what issues/ challenges that we have to deal with today….It hurts me to see this..Yes, black on black crime is killing us, but us not caring about each other is killing us, even faster, than a bullet, ever can or will….

@Red Toney, Sydney, Tara, Etc- I wish everything, (all the answers), was easy, but it never is, to change an entire country’s way of thinking. If truth be told, and if we were all truly accepted, this video would not exist. I wish the world was all roses, but I live here, so it concerns me…I love my black men, all of them..Rich, poor, free, incarcarated, institutionalized, gay, straight, light, dark, short, tall,attractive, not attractive, it really doesn’t matter…Wat matters is, they are being erased, as we speak…(yes, even the ones with the gold in their mouths. I personally don’t care for that kind of stuff, or the saggin pants, but I wouldn’t want to see ANY of my people hurt. But again, I stand with the black male. I meant what I said….Love ya’ll peace..

@ Tara- Blaq never condoned selling drugs, she stated that she can see how that would happen, she has empathy and compassion, for situations, you know nothing about…Know what you’re typing about please, THANKS!….

it’s funny how people here are saying we learned violence from white folks…WELLLL..according to my african world studies teacher, jesus and everyone in the bible were black..and weren’t kane and abel the first two to commit an act of violence? riddle me that joker

@ pedro take your time and read…..I am here to make you think…….that simple

@ pedro again you cant read I typed “STARTAT” not “STARAT” your not seeing that you keep missing the T bro……Damn read go back above study and then ‘watch what you say before you type…OMG…..How you gonna teach and you cant even get pass this lesson……….wow

Hahahahaa EPIC FAIL!!! What a moronic thread full of Stormfront rejects and ghetto losers.

Tsk…tsk for allowing yourselves to be baited into some retarded race argument that will never be won on neither side. I find it disheartening that people from all sides of this tired race argument, generalize an entire race and/or culture on the actions of a few idiots. This thread is the perfect example.

What is so perplexing is, why do some of you insist on debating some backwards country redneck? You cannot reason with someone who is already determined to be a racist. Considering the source, (Come on people Wally George is a hick for crying out loud!) I think nothing of what this person has written and neither should any of you.

This is exactly what happened after the storm. New Orleans is trashy. It was trashy before Katrina. There were tacky people of every ethnicity.

While not every resident is as pathetic as those trailer park rejects, people should do their research. Blacks are being pushed out by red tape and that city is trying to use policy to become whites only. The tourism market, which fuels them, tanked after Katrina and it should stay sunken. Don’t support people like this.

Toss those MOFO’s in Jail for Hate crimes like they do everyone else who commits hate crimes. End of Story. I don’t know why – there should be any question of justice for anyone who was a victim of a hate/racist crime during Katrina. Why are we even debating on the subject.

LMAO@BACK-WOOD TRASHY MOTHERF*CKERS.

I LIVE LIKE 5MINS FROM THERE…LUCKY ME

This doesn’t surprise me in the least. Your eyes are opened real quickly when you get into bootcamp and come across some of these rednecks from the deep South. They’ll call you the n-word to your face. (Though they never did that to me.) But what’s more disturbing is seeing the tolerance of neo-Nazi groups in the military (even though I’m sure they’ll passionately argue otherwise). It seemed to me that whites who scored higher on test scores at the time of admittance were awarded better contracts. Often allocated to programs where they’d be taught how to manufacture bombs where Blacks were denied. (It’s obvious they didn’t want Blacks to know how to make explosives.) I saw how neo-Nazi group members would often converge together and it puzzled me why the officers weren’t intervening. They’d look the other way. Bootcamp is so organized, everyone has a definite place where they should be at all times, yet these white boys would be seated together at the same table in the mess hall. Obviously, the officers were aware. It’s like for training purposes, the Klan sends their young recruits into the military. There was even talk not too long ago that a Wizard held a high-statured position in the Navy. Who’s going to challenge those people when they are masters of clandestine operation? They make concealing things an art-form. But yeah, I’ll say it, taxpayers are funding the training of neo-Nazi’s in the Navy (and other branches of the military, I’m sure). The recruits usually know all the oaths, the war songs, how to fold their clothing (according to military standards), are fully prepped on the operations of the Navy and even though you eventually get to realize that so many of them are not that bright, they scored high on their tests taken just before enlistment. It’s like they’ve been pre-schooled to ensure their success in bootcamp. I found this pretty disturbing. Like they were being readied for a race war. The military mind-f**ks them and then unleashes them on third world countries under false pretenses and I can just imagine how they treat the natives. That whole Abu Grahib expose came as no surprise to me. I know what they’re like. I’ve seen it first hand.

An African Perspective,

I love when people drop knowledge and truth. That was awesome and I wanted to say “Thank you” for posting it. I hope people will read it and be led to think about the meaning of your commentary.
I think a dialogue is long overdue.

I live on the westbank in New Orleans, and what I don’t get is how people are so appalled with a handful of stupid white folks. There have always been racists white folks in the South. This is nothing new. What should be apalling is there’s no outrage from blacks over the senseless killings going on in New Orleans everyday…black on black murders everyday. New Orleans has the highest per capita killings in the world, and it’s mostly young black men, but you rarely see black people outraged over that. We only see outrage when the small racist white population rear their ugly heads.
