1 up

wow ..whats up with the coon word …..makes me laugh

WHAT AN ASS.

so i guess lynchings and beatings with whips were fun too…this kinda coonery must not be taken over into 2009.

God Bless him! He’s one of the good ones. He realizes who buttered his bread. The rest of you ungrateful n*ggers just don’t know how good you have it here. Yeah, we had our rough patch with a few lynchings, but that’s water under the bridge. You n*ggers need to let that go and move on. And no need to thank us frome rescuing yall from africa. Your welcome.

America would not be HALF the country it is today without us and our ancestors!!!

Go head Exxon300!!!!

Agree 100%

They need to be thankful for US!

Before I give my thoughts I need to see the vid……

Can anybody let me know what exactly he said and how he said it?

You ignorant negroids dont get it…the white man saved us from famine and evil, I’m with this smart brother.

We would have all kinds of disease and fly’s on us.

Was this the dude who was begging McCain 2 “take it 2″ Obama, only 2 have “massa” say “ur reward will b in heaven?”

I was wondering where ol’ Uncle Ruckus is now…

Wally George…you can really kiss our ungrateful asses…you and this fool…I’m about sick of you!

@ James Ralph

Uh, no… sickness and disease was UNHEARD of in Africa until u white folks brought it 2 the continent.

4 that matter, the Native Americans were also getting along pretty damn well until y’all showed up…

james ralph
Wally George
are coons just like this fake house n!gger claiming that he’s a rev. BULL$H!T

A ride on a slave ship is like a second class plane ride?? WTF??? I can’t believe that there are ignorant baffoon coons running around here on earth… Die a thousand deaths you wee wee jugglers…

America would not exist if it wasn’t built on the strong backs of Blacks. PERIOD.

twenty spot

james ralph
You already have a disease. You sick fool. Your mind is sick, you are sick, and you will constantly feel the pain.
Thats what cowards do. they feel the pain. Enjoy your sickness, dick in tha booty a$$ fool.

I agree with him. I for one am happy not to be dodging bullets and AIDS in Africa. Big up to my ancestors for paying the price for me to be born American! I am forever in your debt. Looks like black folks like political correctness over honesty as much as white folks. Whatever.

2DamTrill

Tru dat. What’s also worth mentioning is that Africa boasted civilizations ADVANCED in such areas as mathematics, medicine, and agriculture.

It’s almost 2 bad our ancestors spent their energies on positive development instead of making guns.

I think history would have been ENTIRELY different.

I don’t agree with how he minimized slavery. The price for our citizenship was beyond high, but at least we aren’t still swimming over here and floating on tires to this day like Mexicans, Hatians, Cubans and others that try to get into America often at the cost of their lives.

Please do not support this man in his buffoonery..I am sick of thes ignorant black people making these idiotic comments.

Africa is in the state that it is in today because it was looted and plundered. There were civilizations that if they were not already ahead of the Europeans at that time, they were certainly on their way. Most of the civil wars are a direct result of Europeans carving up Africa based on their greed and ignoring the cultures that already existed.
People should fully know both sides of history before they go around shooting off their mouths in public.
Fact is, every country considered “Third World” or ” Developing”, is in that state because of colonization and being robbed of their natural resources(including human capital).

not a good look

There is nothing smart about being knowningly IGNORANT.

The non-white and the white race have exp. famine disease, abuse, and poverty in this country and outside of this country. I had my ancestory traced on DNA.com…I only pay attention to MEN like Henry Louis Gates Jr. My family was already living in America. All African descendents were not brought to this country in chains, although many were during the middle passage.

I’m not entertained by self defeated bootlickers like Rev Lee who wouldn’t know history if it defecated on his face. There has always been a BLACK President in Africa, a woman President and a Black Woman President in Greece. What disguest me about men like Rev Jesse Lee is he actually has trashy followers who are sadistic self haters possible cutters, maybe both.

JK & Mrs Rance

Dont you n*ggers know, you already have your mini AIDS epidemic in D.C.. All those coons will be dropping dead by the time that muslim terrorist obama will be getting voted out of the white house in 2012.

Is this the guy who has appeared on Faux News (don’t watch it)? I’ve heard of him. . .

I found more of his previous comments, by the way:

On the October 20 edition of Clear Channel’s The Big Show with Bill Cunningham, guest Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson said of former Secretary of State Colin Powell’s endorsement of Sen. Barack Obama: “[H]e’s clearly for the color of the man and not the character.” Cunningham replied, “Great comments, and if Obama was white as chalk, do you think that Powell would be endorsing the Democrat? He didn’t endorse [Al] Gore, he didn’t endorse [Sen. John] Kerry. I think color trumps everything in his mind.” Peterson responded: “That’s right, because if it was about what Barack Obama stood for, then he would have endorsed Gore and all those guys, but he did not. You know, it’s so sad, my friend, that most black people today are racist. Not all, not all — but most of them are racist.”

Later in the discussion, Peterson said: “Most black people are — have a socialist mentality. They depend on the government, they don’t get married, most of them don’t work hard, they look to the government to take care of them, and if we allow the socialist Barack Obama to get in, our country would become that way, and we will be in real trouble.”

Colonization under the banner of “manifest destiny.”

Does any of you ignorant mofos realize that all of africa is not in famine. Also we were and are kings and queens in that country while being slaves here. Also God makes things happen not men. What about all of the Africans who are now coming to this country not as slaves but as citizens and making a way for themselves, hell what about the Mexicans, asians, slovaks, Russians, Jews etc. Does this asshole also realize that slavery exist right now in most of the world. They just caught some rich people in Manhatten, NY. with two slaves that they had for like 10 years. Some people are really shallow with their doctrine, but yet share it like it’s word, but in reality its just their naivete and ignorance.

@ Syndeny

If this guy stated all this, then he is out of control. I get so tired of hearing about black people taking advantage of the government. There are a lot of educated black people who actually do work hard and take care of their families. As for those who don’t they are not alone, hell Mexicans, Asians, and Whites along with other races take advantage of the government. They always act like we are the only race to do anything, they forget that we are still the minority in this country. So other races make up this percentage.

Hi Sydney.

That guy sounds more and more like Uncle Ruckus from the Boondocks.

Why does that Dave Chapelle character, “the Black & Blind KKK guy” come to mind?

@ Illuminate Truth
Damn, LOL

@JK

Oh, he said much more than that — That’s just an excerpt.

I can’t even react to this sort of asinine rhetoric. Obviously, he either does not have a full grasp of black history, he doesn’t care to, or he doesn’t respect it. Either way, he’s not worth the attention.

I suppose, we should all thank the slave owners for that cruise across the Atlantic called the Middle Passage — The one during which thousands died from diseases and other ailments, or were killed (The film “Amistad” depicts the throwing of Africans into shark-infested waters), etc. We should thank the people who tore families apart, sold children away from their parents, men away from their wives, etc. We should be grateful that slaves were deprived of their culture, religion, language, identities, etc.

Yes, for all these great things, we should all be extremely thankful. *tongue planted firmly in cheek*

@ Harold, Thank you! There was a Black owned diamond company that started a mine in S Africa. They only could make one type of cut at the time of their start up. The DeBeers family (white) then flooded the market (wholesale) with that certain cut, effectively wipeing out the company in its star up phase. Thats where you get the term conflict diamonds.

Hi HF/Ill

Yes, he sounds like Uncle Ruckus, Dave Chappelle’s blind KKK character, etc., etc.

What is so funny about that harold? this man is saying what a bunch of us older blacks and more conservative blacks have been wanting to say for a long time…

“thank you white man…thank you..now i dont have fly’s on my eyes and disease on my foot”

The truth! Get with it my brothers!

@ James Ralph
I don’t know no older black people who say rhetoric like this. The older people with sense, who remember how things really were do not say this at all.

REAL TALK HF!

these ignorant fools believe what ever the bushy fox on the one eyed devil tells them. you all need some Ivan van Sertima in ya life…

I bet you didn’t know that Africans had built planetariums out of rock waaay b4 the Europeans and such came to rape the motherland…

by the way, there is scientific proof that Africans were trading with the Indians, and mating with them in some parts, waaay before Christopher Columbus told his lie that he discovered America… BLACK PEOPLE WHERE ALREADY HERE IN AMERICA.

It is sad though, honestly I never see any good pics of Africa or about Africa doing any type of good. That I do believe is a consipracy theory.

@ james ralph

U r clearly NOT black. (I’d say “nice try” but I’d b lying)

That wouldn’t b expressed even u had a room full of Ward Connerlys, Larry Elders and Clarence Thomases.

@Roe ski Love people r getting brainwashed by too much tv, I mean i loved blood daimond but at least i have the sense to know black people aint make the movie. he’s prbly grew up in a white neighbor hood where they were nice too his face until he wanted to wed one of their daughters. people forget the past so easy. And even that can be tolerated but to rewrite it and making it seem like it was all in good intention is ridiculous. and who knows if africa would have topped they us if it didnt get rapped so much?

FYI, The Nation ran an interesting profile of Peterson, entitled “The Minister of Minstrelsy,” back in 2005:

http://www.thenation.com/doc/20050411/blumenthal

“Though Peterson’s stunts border on self-satire, there is a method to his madness. In his hunt for recognition, Peterson has modeled himself after his hero, Booker T. Washington, the turn-of-the-century author and entrepreneur dubbed “the Great Accommodator.” Like Washington, who allied himself with conservative whites in a quest for corporate grants for his cash-strapped Tuskegee Institute, Peterson demonstrates loyalty to the most rigid elements of the white establishment in ways that seem calculated to advance his personal ventures and increase his public stature.

“Blacks see racism everywhere they look, even though by most accounts there is really very little racism left among whites–certainly not among those with much power and influence. The sad truth is that black racism is far more pervasive today than is white racism,” Peterson wrote in his 2003 polemic Scam: How the Black Leadership Exploits Black America. For conservative Republicans frustrated with the steadfast refusal of minorities to abandon their grievances, Peterson’s words are a source of comfort. For white nationalists determined to intimidate and marginalize aspirant ethnic minorities, Peterson could embolden their crusade. It’s no wonder both factions have promoted him so aggressively.”

@Ill

I just your first post. . .

Da-Yum!

Oh, sorry, back to the conversation at hand. . .

Damn ignorace… they say ignorance is bliss… but this is pure idiotic…

You don’t hear no Jews saying “Thanks for the Holocost”

@Roe ski Love people r getting brainwashed by too much tv, I mean i loved blood daimond but at least i have the sense to know black people aint make the movie.it doesnt rep all of africa. he’s prbly grew up in a white neighbor hood where they were nice too his face until he wanted to wed one of their daughters. people forget the past so easy.

@JK
You know they are…. Every time that day comes I wanna burn some History books from these schools.. teaching the kids lies! Fourth of U Lie too…

Thats why you gotta teach your kids the truth and break this cycle of self hate.

@2D am Trill

I do, the teacher assigned my son a report on Geroge W. Bush. He wrote a little about his background, and he also wrote somethings I had explained to him, like the unneccessary Iraq war which was built on lies. and how George Bush doesn’t care about anyone since he was playing Golf while people were dying after Hurricane Katrina. He got an A, LOL, the teacher was probably to scared of what I say if I had to come up there.

ADD HIM TO THE LIST OF OTHER COONS, LIKE KING COON TYLER PERRY, SOULJA BOY, AND FLAVA FLAV

@toussaint, he is on his own level of cooning he’s on kill himself level. t.perry and flav dont need to kill themselves…he does.

@ JK

You don’t hear no Jews saying “Thanks for the Holocost”

Right, because that would be a ignorant comment. We need to stop giving this Uncle Tom…”Thank you Massa” any publicity

________________________________________________

@ Trill

It doesn’t surprise me at all. The sciences were another field in which Africa rivaled if not, exceeded anywhere else in the world. Let’s not even get started on music, art and culture. 1 of the ways the white people were able 2 conquer the Africans was by forcibly taking their drums away. Once they realized that the Africans were sending warnings by drum beats, they said “no..no..no.”

Now that I mention it- between the African Drums and the smoke signals of the Native Americans…what we now know as Morse code was invented. As usual, the credit went 2 a white man named Samuel Morse.

REAL BLOODCLOT COON YES!!

Speaking of the African slaves and the Native Americans… they were tight indeed. The Indians dubbed the slaves “Buffalo Soldiers.” There r infinite stories of these 2 groups interacting, exchanging ideas, and helping each other out, both before and after the middle passage.

2 this day, there is a tradition of celebration of this relationship during Mardi-Gras. Specifically by the Mardi-Gras Indians.

Hey Syd!!

Just a little bit off topic, but have you been to the Sandy Spring Slavery Museum in Bmore at all. Anybody that hasn’t been and is close enough to go should make it a point to visit…..just don’t bring children that are too young (I would say under 12)to see graphic depictions of slavery (i.e. our female ancestor’s vaginas in a jar of formaldehyde……trophies for our saviours, the slave master). If you can walk out of there and feel the least bit good about slavery you have absolutely no shot at logical thought. Personally, I had to seperate myself from Caucasian society for a couple of days just to avoid the obvious.

@ JK

Always good to see parents taking the time to remove the BS they are being taught and replacing it with truth…..Your child will prosper because of it. I was just talking with a good friend last night about parents monitoring everything they are being fed by our school system, the media, entertainers, etc. so you can balance the nonsense with good sense. If our children are made aware of what is real and what is fantasy (starting with these so called history books…very large propoganda pamphlets is a better description) and how to look at things from all perspectives, instead of blindly accepting an agenda as fact, we will raise a generation of free thinkers. Thanks for doing your part.

he really needs to learn history.

the state of the country now and the somewhat simmering race relations is not a result of the white folks, but the drive and fight with African Americans so that we could live better and be treated with respect.

It it were left up to whitey, things would still be segregated.

I wish more folks like him especially at such an advanced age would really learn their history. Ignorance kills

@Illuminate Truth-”Why does that Dave Chapelle character, “the Black & Blind KKK guy” come to mind?”___________________________________________

As soon as I saw what he said, I immediately thought of Dave Chapelle…What’s up with everyone calling everyone a coon? Not a good thing. Nobody’s a coon, we should probably really stop that….But here we go again…

SMH @ all the people who envision Africa, to only be a place of filth, flies, famine, hopelessness and disease…BEFORE, Africa was robbed and vandalized, she was beautiful, still is..EVerywhere in Africa, is not like this. You turly show your ignorance, in even suggesting it..With all that said, I will not thank Whites or ingratiate myself to make all your psuedo-negros happy….I will not talk ish about Africans. Period. I will not contribute to yet, another divide purposely put in front of me, to cause further dissonace / division in our community…

Any of you who don’t outright reject what is being said, only reinforces my beliefs that most of youa re so far gone, that you could care less.To me that’s a bigger travesty, than all the things that have happened to us/ our community—WE DON’T CARE..

I’m tried of a few stupid black men opening their mouths, talking out the side of the neck, with no basis, for the garbage being spewed….

BLACK MEN GROW UP, PLEASE…PSEUDO-BLACK MEN PLEASE SHUT UP AND NEVER EVER, OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND MAKE YOURSELF LOOK EVEN WORSE THAN YOU DO NOW, (JUST A MEANINGFUL SUGGESTION)

** I know Kigali is around somewhere smiling from all the challengs that we our community faces, without trying to SOLVE THE PROBLEM….

that should’ve been “challenges”….

I have checked this guy in, more than a few times. He is totally respectful and cordial. Then when you see him on television spreading his sickness….I’m sure he’s an OPERATIVE. An operative for whom, I don’t know; but for someone I’m sure

@Toussaint Beaupre

I for one donate to my alma-mater SULC, which is an HBC.

However, I really don’t see anything wrong with Tyler Perry, everyone is not the Cosbys. And, man do I get so tired of saying that, why can’t black people laugh, why can’t we enjoy ourselves. Now as far as Soulja Boy, no I can’t buy that and other rap like that however, that is my personal choice. Although is rap is not positive he is doing something besides selling drugs on the street, and making babies everywhere, for now at least.

Second, if something like the Cosbys came out or someone made positive rap all the time. No one would buy it or watch, it is sad but true. People like to watch shows that they can relate to, honestly a lot of people may wish they had a family like the Cosbys, but a lot of people don’t therefore they can not relate.

@ HF

Good posts…as usual. I enjoy reading anything that is informative and thought provoking….you covered both. You are correct in saying this land was visited WAY before Columbus made his journey (this clown got lost, ended up in the island now known as the Dominican Republic / Haiti, left his crew for dead and went back to Spain…..a true hero). The people of Kush visited and interacted with the indigenous people of this land. The proof is in the hieroglyphics inside the flat topped pyramids (a Kush trademark) in the lands of the Aztecs, the Mayans, etc. Again, white man taking credit for something already accomplished.

Clearly, the lobotomy didn’t take effect.
How much do they pay these Niggers?

Well hell, perhaps the lobotomy DID take effect.

I wonder how much Fox News is paying Jesse lee to distribute stupidity and self-hate nation-wide. I’m not astonished at all by Lee’s comments. I just would like to know how was his upbringing? Are his parents responsible for this puerile and inane buffoonery? This is the same reverend that believed Bill O’Reilly’s comments (‘There wasn’t one person in Sylvia’s who was screaming, ‘M-Fer, I want more iced tea, and I couldn’t get over the fact that there was no difference between Sylvia’s restaurant and any other restaurant in New York City’) weren’t racist, but informative and educational to White America.

Boyce Watkins stated, ‘Isn’t it amazing that in America there are still Handkerchief Head Negroes.’ Yes, some of us are still shucking and jiving for white folks (Bamboozled by Spike), and it’s sickening. What’s really disturbing is that, Jesse Lee is enforcing political ideologies that advocate white preponderancy. He (just like other black people) is the result of a social ailment created by racism and oppression centuries ago. I can’t fathom or assimilate this man being a reverend and having a flock of saints.

@ always knew

Don’t throw away that word “coon” just yet. That term was used by slave masters to describe an unruly slave that wouldn’t conform to massah’s wishes. The white man of course would call us that in a negative light and we have adopted the word to also be negative…..technically, I’m a “coon” and proud of it.

@Redd tony- lol what did the video say and how was it said..smile, I’m glad you still went home and checked it out for yourself. I was instantly filled with RAGE, FRUSTRATION, ANGER and HOSTILITY.
Not the most constructive ways to vent and get something done, but I wanted EVERYONE, to get angry, not just upset, but ANGRY. It takes ANGER to make us move and stop objectifying ourselvs, even if we don’t always agree, you have to see that..I am tired of us turning on each other and the fact that black life doesn’t seem to matter…

Well, I am glad to see you on today’s thread, and yes, he is s atraight fool, for the racism, he’s spreading…And of course, Republicans and other whites would love for him to preach his ‘message’…They would surely benefit the most, being absolved for the hurt done and caused…On the other hand, I strongly feel like people like him are needed, we have to be able to see people, for who they really are, and not just because we share the smae skin…Clearlr, our community has been infiltrated, and definitely NOT to our advantage….

The damage that false prophets and lying men do, all the while, speaking of the Word, no I’ll pass, here we go with that indoctrination ish…I”LL PASS…

since the 80s he has been able to hold it together as a professional coat grabber now hes out of a job

SAME THING WITH MADEA AND THESE STEREOTYPES THAT WERE CREATED BY SLAVE MASTERS, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH JUST WANTING TO LAUGH AT TYLER PERRY’S INGORANCE, BUT ITS WHEN THIS IGNORANCE BECOMES CELEBRATED AND IT ABILITY TO DAMAGE, DISMISSED, THAT IT BECOMES A PROBLEM.

ROTFLMBAO

Somebody, please tell me he didn’t say the “Trip” from Africa was like a Crowded airplane???? Please tell me he didn’t go there!

@ Toussaint Beaupre

I am truly a believer that no one teaches my children anything but me and their father. If people would stop letting the television raise their children, that probably would solve half the problems we have with our youth. I let my oldest watch that and he listens to rap, however I am there and is father is there to tell him that whatever he is watching or whatever he is listening to is not how it really goes down in the real world. See I grew up on rap, and no I don’t gang bang and I didn’t marry a thug. I actually went to college and law school and compelted both.

So, again in closing stop blaming everyone else and blame yourself or the people you know who in the real world who are actually causing the probelems. One we stop trying to make others a role model for our children, and actually step up and do the job ourselves and once we stop blaming people such as Tyler Perry, and say “Hey what can I do for my child to make him/her better.” Than half the battle will be won. So when people or children who watch shows such as this, will be able to enjoy their lightheartdness and not actually take it as this is how the world is.

“Once”

“So when people or children who watch shows such as these, will be able to enjoy their lightheartdeness and not actually take it as this is how the world is or should be”

Sorry was typing fast, at work. LOL

I gotta question for the black community? What country would you rather live in? America or Africa? I’m proud to be from Africa… but life ain’t that bad in America.

‘TYLER PERRY IS JUST AS BAD AS THIS DUDE, PROJECTING RIDICULOUS STEREOTYPES AND THE WORLD LOOKS AT US LIKE WTF!’

Tyler Perry films could be considered insulting to some for their boisterous and sparked with anger conventional characters. But, to examine him in contrast with the reverend is a little far-fetched. I don’t recall Tyler Perry ever thanking God for using the white man as an asset to free our ancestors from Africa.

Illuminate Truth

‘he is a bonefide house niggER (damn right, he gets the “er”)’

Yeah, his is a house nigger, and some of the Fox political contributors aren’t too far behind Jesse Lee.

What’s up, man? I’m pretty good.

@ Film

I totally agree

@Matchstick

I am not going to lie, at this point I would rather live in America.

What up errbody===> I hope yall could see the apology I made to everyone about my unclear yet insensitive comments in the Katrina thread yesterday…I think I was an idiot for posting and I didnt even view it..My apology is on the Katrina thread yesterday about 12:25 am…

Anyways, I havent viewed this footage of Jesse yet, but I will say that I still have a form of respect for him because he marched with MLK, however from reading everyones reaction to his statements, he may have been the one to tell MLK to go on the balcony that day to get him shot…

@Matchstik..

I couldnt honestly answer that without having been to Africa before. I know for fact though it’s not exactly what they try and program us to believe. All I can say is at least once in my lifetime I must travel there. and for now I’m stuck in America, and it aint too peachy.

I can’t say that Madea’s image is in anyway correlated to a mammie image. There is truth in his stories. The truth that a lot of really like Madea people are raising children that are not theirs, because the parents are out there wilding out or on drugs. This is truth, to many grandparents are raising their grandchildren.

here is the truth, You wont see the truth because you like him and his work, thats fine.

Its the same reasons they justified slavery. when you dont want to see the truth its easy to dismiss it especially if you benefit from the lie

@Toussaint Beaupre

Again people raise your own kids and stop letting television raise your children and the suppose to be rapper role models. Yet again you have not addressed this issue. This would resolve a lot in our community.

Why do kids some kids, cause not all black kids think this, that hustling is better than college. Cause they are not being raised. Raise your damn kids.

@ Redd

No need for apologies fam……I don’t think anyone was offended. I wasn’t. BUT, Redd, I am shocked you ride with MLK so hard. It doesn’t bother you that he was given a free pass by the US gov? That doesn’t make you raise an eyebrow? And, WTF, no greenery in 3 days?….. LOL. Good luck with that……

Actually I love his work. It is good to see a black man doing something good, liking building his own film studios, having a show with black people, when the major networks refuse to do so. Donating back to the community. It is good to see a black man strive to be more than a rapper.

@ Everyone-

This is a completely unrelated topic. I just saw this article and it pissed me off. Check it out:

“A slain police officer’s sister reacted with disgust after a jury cleared a former actor on “The Sopranos” of her brother’s killing during a botched burglary three years ago.

Lillo Brancato Jr. on Monday was convicted of a lesser charge of attempted burglary. He faces from three to 15 years in prison; the former actor could get credit for time served because he has been behind bars nearly three years”

____________________________________________

This article is in regards to black police ficer that was killed by an actor for the Sopranos. He has been cleared of all charges…

MY POINT:

Everybody came down on me for talking about the lack of quality of life, if your skin pigment is not of the Caucasian skin….A BLACK OFFICER was killed and his death is going unpunished. The officer was killed in defending his neighbors property. The Sopranos’ actor- is out of jail, free after 3 years.

@ Tara & Everybody else who can’t see it-

It doesn’t matter if you have on a suit, speak proper English, have 6 zeros’ in the bank, or work for the government. He was shot during a ‘bad’ robbery…The black off-duty officer was responding to the white actor breaking in to support his crack/ meth habit. The officer was killed and he completely got off….Even our so-called authority figures , their lives are not taken seriousy either….Even if they have no record, doing the right thing, etc.,

YOU ARE STILL TREATED WITH DISRESPECT.

Sean Bell was murdered and the cops also got off…Which leads me back to this point. Everyone PRETENDS, that once you have a little change, that you no longer hae to put up with the racism. You ar wrong. If you wear this skin, no matter how much money you have, how far in life you go, what you drive, where you live…MY POINT: OUR LIVES DO NOT MATTER TO THEM. EVEN WHEN YOU FOLLOW AL THE RULES. YOU LOVE TO PRETEND EDUCATION – WILL CHANGE IT ALL…NOT NECESSARILY, IF A INTSTITUTION SEES YOUI A CERTAIN LIFE, YOU ARE STILL DEVALUED. YOU ARE STILL TREATED AS LESS THAN. THE WHITE GUY BROKE INTO THE BLACK GUY’S NEIGHBORS HOUSE, THE BLACK GUY GETS KILLED, EVEN THOUGH HE ‘S A POLICE OFFICER, NOTHING WAS DONE..tHE WHITE CRACKHEAD,COMPLETELY GOT OFF….EVENTS LIKE TIS HAPPEN EVERYDAY…

MY POINT: JUST LIKE TUPAC SAID, IT DOESN’T MATTER WHETHER YOU WEAR A BUSINESS SUIT OR A JUMP SUIT. ALL THEY SEE IN THEIR EYES, IS A NIGGER. OUR LIVES WILL CONTINUE TO BE DEVALUED. WE WILL NOT PICK UP THE TORCH AND DEMAND EQUALITY, IN THE TRUEST SENSE. WE WILL CONTINUE TO LET THEM CONTROL EVERYTHING AND WE’LL JUST CONTINUE TO BE GUESTS, IN OUR OWN COUNTRY… AND BASING THIS ON THE RESPONSE THAT I RECEIVED YESTERDAY, (TARA),YOU CAN’T EXTRAPILATE YOURSELF FROM CERTAIN SITUATIONS, IF YOU HAVE NO REAL POWER…..BESIDES, PEOPLE CONTINUING TO BUY INTO:

EVERYTHING WE SEE OF OURSELVES IN MOSTLY NEGATIVE LIGHT. CAN’T SOME ON ANY WEBSITE, BLACKS PUTTING DOWN DARK BLACKS, HATING ON LIGHT SKINNED BLACKS, NAME-CALLING, BLACK MALE BLOGS HATE BLACK WOMEN,

WILL ANY OF THIS EVER STOP? OR WILL WE CONTINUE TO GO THROUGH DOWNWARD APIRAL OF US ALWAYS HATING EACH OTHER..

WHAT DO YOU SEE ABOUT OUR CULTURE? IT’S GTTING SO BAD, I DON’T EVEN WANT TO LOOK, MORE FIRES THAN I COULD EVER PUT OUT—WHAT EFFECT DOES THIS DO TO US AND OUR COMMUNITY?

THE BLACK AMERICAN FAMILY/ COMMUNITY IS IN A STATE OF EMERGENCY…WE NEED EACH OTHER TO COMPLETELY NOT FALL INTO THE LIES/ SUBJECTIVE TREATMENT…

THIS LEARNED BEHAVIOUR WILL NOT GO AWAY OVERNIGHT OR SIMPLY BECAUSE WE HAVE A ‘BLACK’ PRESIDENT… COMMENTS, ANYONE?

“”What message is this sending out to the New York City police officers today? It’s wrong,” said Yolanda Rosa Nazario, sister of the victim.

Prosecutors said Brancato, 32, and accomplice Steven Armento broke into a basement apartment to steal prescription drugs after a night of drinking at a strip club in December 2005. Officer Daniel Enchautegui (En-chow-TAY’-gee), who lived next door and was off duty, came out to investigate.

Armento blasted the 28-year-old officer with his .357 Magnum, hitting him in the heart. The dying officer fired back, wounding both men. Armento was convicted earlier this year of first-degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison without parole.

Brancato, who acknowledges problems with drugs and alcohol, said he was unaware Armento, 48, was carrying a weapon. He also argued he did not directly take part in the killing and was not armed.

During the gunbattle, Enchautegui was struck once and Armento was hit six times. Brancato, who drove the car to the apartment, was shot twice.”

DO YOU STLL THINK THAT YOU CAN CHANGE THEIR MINDS, BY BEHAVING ‘CORRECTLY’?? IF YOU DO, YOU HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM. THIS IS BASED ON HOW THEY SEE PEOPLE WITH PIGMENTATION IN THEIR SKIN? WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU CALL IT??

I ALSO THINK IT’S MESSED UP THAT NO POLICE OFFICERS STOOD UP FOR THE BLACK COP, BUT WHEN SEAN BELL WAS SLAUGHTERED, ALL THE COPS STOOD UP TO PROTECT THEIR OWN. THE COPS ALL GOT OFF, CALLED NICOLE AND LAUGHED, THAT THEY KILLED HER MAN…

YEP, NO RACISM, I’M JUST OUT OF MY MIND AND IMAGINING THINGS AGAIN. I’M SUCH A RACIST, I HAVE TO MAKE THESE THINGS UP BECAUSE I HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO. AND I SHOULD BE GRATEFUL TO MASSA, FOR LETTING US HAVE THIS PRIVILEGE..RIGHT???

GTFOH!

education is the key.

Mamie, Images of the over bearing asexual female head of the house hold. Taking strength away from the father position in the family. ( read the jim Crow Laws as to why this happened. Make the women strong and over bearing and keep the men weak.) Sambo , unlucky negro who cant get it together, the fool. I’m sorry i just would like my children to see images of intelligent black people, We are more than Madea, or atleast we should want to be.

Roe ski Love

Does any of you ignorant mofos realize that all of africa is not in famine. Also we were and are kings and queens in that country while being slaves here.
*************************

Kings and Queens in some little village that a small American gang could take over easily doesn’t count for much. Where are all those kings and queens now? And what is up with oil rich Nigeria that is so corrupt that a whole government of short sited people would rather lavish themselves with more wealth than they can spend than to build up their own country. Lets not pretend Africa is not almost 100% phucked up.

A man is weak only if he allows himself to be. Let’s not start trying to lay the blame on women who have no other choice but to step up because the black man at this time refuses to do so by 1.) Being head of his household; 2.) Being there for his children and wife; and 4.) Being a provider for his family.

Hell is there even a such thing as a black family anymore. This would include a mother and father who are actually married and raising a family together.

Besides Madea should not be the only kids watch, if it is for some than shame on them.

100 percent co-sign. I swear people make Africa seem like it is the land of dreams at this point, and is not, they have a helluva lot of problems. So much in fact that a lot of people really would not be able to handle it over there if they were forced to go live there for even a year.

JK

‘If people would stop letting the television raise their children, that probably would solve half the problems we have with our youth.’

I concur. That is exactly what my parents gradually infused into me. I am a stickler for education from books, and not via televised programs. To this day, I still keep my TV off over 60% of the time.

I also give of myself to participate in volunteer work, and I’m very aware of young men/women who were born deprived and lacking common necessities and who stem from inept/incompetent parent/s. Therefore, they didn’t have anyone to turn the television off for them. Sometimes, the more fortunate individuals should take it upon themselves, and aid the less fortunate.

Redd Tony

‘he may have been the one to tell MLK to go on the balcony that day to get him shot…’

LOL, what’s up, Redd Tony?

it is truly a sad shame to hear black people talk so negatively of Africa..shame on all of you. Instead of thinking of ways that YOU can help rebuild home you help tear it down with accusations..black american’s really are idiots SMH..

and I am not feeling the coon word even if they are acting like dumbasses

@ NYC Gal

So true indeed….they need to be thanking us. It wasn’t just the free labor. The slaves (property) had to be insured from the time they set foot on the ships at the western shores of Africa. Bank of America (formerly “fleet” bank – get it?), Citibank (or Citicorp), American Express, AIG and Prudential (just to name a few and NONE of them lightweights in the financial sector) all got their start and their riches insuring the slave owner’s property – the African slave.

===================================================
Have you ever been to any country in Africa? If never, you need to shut the f**k up and stop watching the ignorant box!!

I been to Africa several times and if I had some money I would move there!!

If you haven’t been to Africa, don’t talk bad about it. You know the media hypes bad Sh*t up, just like all Muslims are terrorists and all Asians are in the sex industry or eat noodles.

Whatever! I have lived in Africa (Ghana to be precise) for two years. I WENT there, I was not BORN there and let me tell you…y’all don’t have a damn idea of what you’re talking about. Africa is the sh*t and I’m finishing up my college degree so I can go back.

Dang, the African-American people are a dying, mindless race sometimes. Yeah I said IT!

aiight I’ve read enuff.. time 4 my two:

First off, This dude suffers from a case of victim syndrome. (Abductees would sympathize with the abductors)As much as I was shocked at the audacity of this guy, And 2nd, I also SMH @ the state of black consciousness in some of our elders not mentally equipped for change. So it’s not about thanking him or thanking her, but it’s about the mental illness present in these elders: Pastor Manning and now REv lee as the more prominent ones.

This is a sign for some of you youngins who WILL become elders if you live that long. Educate your offspring.

@ JK from what personal experience are you speaking from? have you ever been to the motherland? I want to know if you are an expert in analysing African economics and politics…

@ the Mrs. DAMN I LOVE YOU! had me laughiing a righteous laugh up in this piece. Damn, tell it.

Black people will get nowhere trying to seperate ourselves…. from ourselves.

you got:
Black Americans vs. Africans
Black women vs. Black men
light skin vs. Dark skin
rich blacks vs. poor blacks
hood blacks vs. suburb blacks
north vs. south
etc… I could go on and on, but we need to realize we are ALL THE SAME. Our culture was stripped from us beyond reconition, and we all need to work hard at getting it back.

Blacks are made to feel bad if your trying to do right by your people and your people only. I cant worry about saving the world without reaching my hand out to lil girls and boys who look just like me.

We are bigger slaves now then we’ve ever been because our minds are enslaved. Back then they were not allowed freedom and they fought for it. But now we THINK we are free and no longer fight anymore. we run across stories in the papers and go “ooh man that was messed up”… then we back doing what we do. smh

No old money white families that was born in America like the Rockefellers, Vanderbilts etc EARN their money!! All of them got their wealth on the slaves’ FREE labor!!

The White House was built by the slaves and its only right that one of their descendants should live in it!

Illuminate Truth

@ Redd

No need for apologies fam……I don’t think anyone was offended. I wasn’t. BUT, Redd, I am shocked you ride with MLK so hard. It doesn’t bother you that he was given a free pass by the US gov? That doesn’t make you raise an eyebrow? And, WTF, no greenery in 3 days?….. LOL. Good luck with that……
———————————–

I idolize MLK, because what ever he marched for he changed it and did it non violently. How was he given a free pass by the govt? It must be something I havent heard. If anything, the FBI was down is back all the time..He had the balls to fight a fair fight, he was a great speaker and truly meant what he said…If he and Malcolm would have teamed up, it would have been something special…

This man needs to watch the movie “Good Bye Uncle Tom” in it’s entirety.

You missed the point.( you did your best to) I’m not blaming Women for the position that they were placed in, I am asking men to be men, instead of laughing little boys. Yes we should be raising our children, and part of that is being responsible for what the are exposed to. I congratulate Tyler on making money, I just wish he would be more responsible with it. Crack makes lots of money too. It doesnt make it right. We should be teaching them right from wrong , the scarey thing is that some of us…. seem to not know the difference.

Forgive me for asking black people to put out better images of ourselves, forgive me for thinking that we can be more than our stereotypes, forgive me for calling a spade a spade. But here is the thing, out side of my corporate career, I volunteer with 6 different youth organizations and I see first hand how these kids are being led astray by lack of parenting and guidence, they see these images on TV and they imitate it. You ignoring that the images that are seen in popular culture is simply laughable, the stuudy of poular culture and its influence is oler that us all, so pretend all you like. Laugh at Madea, I will help kids grow into leaders who know better.

@MATCHSTICK- I gotta question for the black community? What country would you rather live in? America or Africa? I’m proud to be from Africa… but life ain’t that bad in America.

For me this is a 2 prong question- I;m proud of Afirca, as well, would I like to live there? Depends. Depends on how you are talking abuot living…I don;t think it’s that great in America, sorry…There’s ALOT of stress, hypertension and high bloodpressure caused from dealing with the racism and issues, people of color have to deal withm that inadvertantly cuts our lives short…In Africa, starvation and other racial issues…I wjust would like to be able to live,without all of the discimination that goes along with it….

At first, I foolishly belived like some of you.We had moved up. My husband and I purchased a house at the base of a mountain, with majority of white neighbors and such….It wasn;t what I thought it was going to be: White Neighbors always in your face, trying to look over backyad walls to see and compete with you–in regars to landscaping, the luxury SUV, that you drive, them trying to compete, because I mainly work from home, only going to the office when I need to or to drop off paychecks, they send their kids over to play with my toddlers because they have very expensive things to be so young, custom, nice clothes and shoes, motorized trucks and atv’s (they are only 2 1/2 and 3 1/2), they want to come over to see how you can afford to go out of town all the tme, they want to compete, when they nose their way in, looking at your Samsung ugscree with surround sound, they want to comment and see all you art collections , go all in your house to see how you live, they want to come over for dinner and invte themselves to your cookouts. They want to know where you shop, how you can afford whatever, they are just ALWAYS THERE……Living in a mainly white community is not all it’s cracked up to be..I miss being around people that look like me. I miss having neighbors who understand our culture, and lways trying to touch you, your clothes, your children, etc….Getting stopped at least once a week for 6 months, until they (neighbors and police officers)realize that you own, not renting/ leasing…

Feelings of shame, when you go to the gated community park and there’s not one child who even looks like yours…..And then the white school issues…..When you answer the door,to sign for packages, they think you are the help until they see your children…..YOU TELL ME, THAT’S NOT RACISM, RIGHT???….

It goes on forever, it’s not sweet on either side…And you feel like you don’t belong, because they are always going out of the way, to find out every little detail about you…

There’s something to be said about living in ‘nice’ homes……Ofen times more than not, you become a prisoner of your own home… For me, it’s not that bad but, it;s not great either, I can just imagine how the super wealthy blacks feel….

excuse the typos, typing fast and don;t always go back to correct…

America was made because of one common thing that they exported..COTTON! America was built on the backs of slaves who could work the long hours outside in the hot sun because the white men and women skins were too fair to take the sun..

I want my got damn reperations..I may not take it but I damn sure want the option and to those of you who don’t want your’s..i’ll gladly take it as well

“Back then they were not allowed freedom and they fought for it. But now we THINK we are free and no longer fight anymore.”

@ Nina

Damn that is SO true (so much so that I have nothing to add)….perfect written JUST like that and bears worth repeating.

@ The Mrs

Let em have it Sistah….truth is a lovely thing.

What up Film…

ELLE I agree with both of your last posts. It is time for us to aspire to something higher. We have to be willing to do more for our selves and for our children. It all starts with the truth and examples. We have to tell the truth, no matter how many people dont like it (JK) and we have to see examples so that they lead they way to greater things.

@ HF “Once they realized that the Africans were sending warnings by drum beats, they said “no..no..no.”

He went there, now lets get his a$$!

These idiots never fail to amaze me. What is even more amazing is how this ignorance is spread and accepted even in this day and time.

Hi Sydney, Film, Redd, Ill, Nina, 2damtrill, Always knew

@ Candid Canuck

Thanks homes…yes, bump the education system here. isn’t it the lowest among developed countries anyway? Yes the American education system is lacking and kids are dumber than ever. When I attended school in Ghana, i was learning French and traditional language called Ga while having English classes and media classes. And you say Africa has the problem? Fall back haters…

@always Knew

I agree with your points about America, Ive always thought about moving out the country when I retire.

Of couse it would be natural for a package a carrier to think you were help in an all white affluent neighborhood….just like it would be natural to think a white person in a predominantly black ghetto is buying drugs…why care if they think that, That is societies perception….Maybe they think you are special, because you show symbols of affluence, and maybe your affluence will give a white person the impression that black people are not all the same..Why do you let them come over your house and play with your kids? I know its disheartening to not see your people living like you, all you can do is set the standard and maybe people will be inspired…..

Toussaint Beaupre

‘I’m sorry i just would like my children to see images of intelligent black people, We are more than Madea, or atleast we should want to be.’

I agree. There aren’t enough optimistic, representations of us on the TV screen. There are major studios, such as NBC, ABC, CBS that have been presented with family-oriented, black scripts for a pilot. But, the story line is too unrealistic to these executives or it’s out of touch with what America is accustomed to (thugs, out-of-wedlock children). How many black shows have been distributed by a major studio? I can only think of a hand full. We’re given certain networks for entertainment purposes with the knowledge of these shows resulting in low prime time viewers and low profits/capital. It’s just a modernized way of supremacy.

What’s going on, Blaq?

@Nina===> I feel you, but the kkk must learn not to hate Black people either, its goes both ways..i know i know..only in a perfect world..

What up Blaq!

I really feel sorry for the people of the that fool’s church! They need to put his naked ass chained up on a slave ship leaving from West Africa bound for the Carolinas.

Have some of his white saviors whup his ass everyday and let him eat food where he sh*ts! Then he will be able to see if the ride over was like riding on a crowded plane.

To Anybody

I saw Redd Tony mention the ghetto and drugs. Is anyone aware of Dark Alliance: The Story Behind the Crack Explosion? I have to catch a flight, but I’ll check back in after I reach my destination, if someone is familiar with this.

Take it easy, everyone.

@NYC & Christmas jones
Thanks for speaking out.
This video shows that mental slavery is still predominant among the african american community.
I am truly amazed at the ignorance shown by the so-called educated people on this site.There are people here that need to pick up a book and travel in order to broaden their horizon this level of ignorance is surprising in a country like America.The fact that there are people on this website that believe that Afica is one big country(like Sarah Palin) with everybody running around with flies on there faces is truly amazing in the year 2008..Yes there are countries in the continent of Africa with problems mainly due to bad leadership and corrupt practises but in this economic climate which country is safe?.
@ Mrs Rance
Nigeria just needs good leadership and this will happen sooner or later . There is the resource and a lot of brillant minds both in the diaspora and in Nigeria that are working towards that.
Africans will have to improve there countries sooner or later because they rule.African american need to try and improve there own conditions and thereby move out of the third class citizens status.Africans in the USA are doing a lot better both in education and buisness in a country that you call your own.The situation in Katrina alone showed the world that African Americans will always be at the bottom of the food chain.Even the so called African American president is half white with an african father(Kenyan).
Please wake up and smell the CAFFE LATTE!!
do not believe everything you are fed by the media
get out more!!
You have a brain use it!!

@Mrs Rance,

“I agree with him. I for one am happy not to be dodging bullets and AIDS in Africa.”

So you have never been to D.C.?

tru3playboy… omg, here you go. Where did you get your “black card” at today? Didnt “always knew” pull your hoe ass card yesterday.

jews did NOT go the exact same thing as Blacks. I get so tried of stipid people trying to compare the two.

You already admitted yesterday how you people really feel about blacks, yet you are OBSESSED over what we go thru.

I guess there isnt any problems in the latino race for you to go and address.

I nearly threw up at 1:02. “The ride over was pretty tough.” “It’s like being on a crowded airplane and you are not in first class.” “You’ve got to take pain to gain.”

So hundreds of years of brutality is just the price you pay to be among the white?

He has already been punished.

@TRU3PLAYBOY- I GUESS THE ENTIRE ARTICLE THAT I COPIED FROM THE http://WWW.FREEP.COM IS LYING. WOW! I HAVE TO MAKE UP FAKE ISH TO COME HERE AND BE CRITICIZED BY YOU….IF HE WAS HISPANIC, THAT’S NOT WHAT THE ARTICLE SAID….IT STATED THAT THE OFFICER WAS BLACK, MAYBE THEY MADE A MISTAKE OR SOMETHING, BUT DID I DISRESPECT YOU? WELL F-UCL YOU TOO KINDLY, SIR.

YOUR ARE NOT MY FRIEND OR EVEN AN ASSOCITE OF MINE, PLEASE DON’T TYPE TO ME…I THINK THAT YOU HAVE ME CONFUSED. I DON’T ‘PRETEND’ TO BE ANYTHING. IF YOU THINK I AM EDUCATED,WHY THANK YOU AND IF NOT, OH WELL, I AM NOT LIVING FOR YOUR ACCEPTANCE…I;M GLAD YOU CARE SO MUCH ABOUT OUR CULTURE THAT YOU CAN’T STOP COMING HERE, TO TELL ALL OF US, HOW WE ARE SO WRONG….LOL..I LOVE ALL HOW ALL YOUR POSTS ARE FILLED WITH POSTS OF SOMEONE HATING OR NOT LIKING BLACKS, YOU ARE NOT THE SHARPEST TOOL..BUT OH, WELL……

This isnt just a throw away phrase but Rev. Jesse is ignorant of American and African history. His whole argument is based on the idea that black Americans arent an integral part of the American expiriences and America developed in spite of the presence of African slaves. It hasnt. His argument would only make sense if blacks came here post 1960s. They came to American before its freedom, development, and wealth. I dont see the US developing the way it has without its black population.

@Christmas Jones,

I always thought Africans had structural problems while black Americans had cultural problems. I know which one is easier to overcome.

@ NINA KNOWS- I’m glad someone else saw through the bs, he tried to spoon feed…

_______________________________________________

I’m sure there are plenty of immigration issues he could be commenting on instead of being on here “trying” to throw in his little two cents… oops I mean his two peso’s.

lol hahahahahahahahahahaha..That was pretty funny…

@ Redd Toney- I let them play with my boys, becasue my boys have no one else to play with. It’s just my husband and I, here. Our family is all up North, in New Jersey, Syracuse, New York, Farmington Hills and Inkster, Michigan…

They play with each other but noone else at b-day parties, I mainly take them out to museums, kids hand on museums, observatories, Disney plays, and to business meetings (sometimes, depending on situation, state and federal meetings, I never take them.. ) and to all of our, out of town meetings and vacations….

We are pretty much by oursleves. We did this because 8 years ago, my only under-performing business was here, so we decided to concentrate on it, because I wanted to build a house, in this state..The business was to provide and pay all bills, for this state. It’s working, but VERY lonely. We have ourselves, each other and our 2 kids. We fly in relatives, all the time, but not this year..Other plans… And I am not really happy about it either…I love my family…more than any amount of money….

This right here is what would happen if uncle ruckus from the boondocks was a reverend. We just got a black president but yet we have ignorant people like this making it worse. SMH.

@always knew

Thanks for sharing Ms Lady, I understand where you comming from.

@Hey Film..Ive never heard of that book but Ill check it out…

@Redd Toney- That’s why I don’t believe that I can be truly happy, I want to be around my own. There is nothing more deprseeing than being around people thatdon’t have, then you feel guilty for having, working hard to get ahead…Still working this out….I’m still going through it…6 years later…..I don’t think, I’ll ever really be ‘adjusted’ to living like this..My hope is to be out of here within the next 2 years…I would like to retire overseas and do some humanitarian work…but that’s in at least another 15-20 years…minimum, I have to take care of mom and other obligations, but when I do, I’ll finally be happy, I will be redoing whatever area , I go to..I cannot be happy, if people are starving around me..My conscious won’t allow it, which is why I have to work so long, it’s not just for me…It’s also for those that will surround me…I don’t want anyone to go without, if I can help it…

Where are you thinking of, overseas? Me , it will definitely be Haiti..

Who’s to say what Afica or America would look like now if a significan % of us were not enslaved and transported around the world as property. Whatever the case, I would never ever consider the capture, tranport an enslavement of a people is a thing to be grateful for.!

@ Christmas Jones.. THANK YOU! You are the only one who came in here with sense. All these people like JK have never set foot in Africa.

STOP treating Africa like it is one country where there is just famine and distruction. I was born and raised in Nairobi, Kenya. I live and work there now and I am having a great time. Educated in Kenya and I am a lawyer.

If you haven’t set on in any country in Africa, you have no authority to say anything on how life is there. Have you been to Accra? Nairobi? Lagos? Abuja? Addis? Dar Es Salaam? Rabat? JoBurg?, Windhoek? Kinshasa? Cairo? You probably wondering where all these places are. African cities where life is going on.. business, finances, entertainment, etc. Africa has over 50 countries with so much diversity. So much life. You will have a ball when you set foot on the motherland.. the land of your ancestors. So here is your assignment for 2009: GET A PASSPORT.

Secondly, how anyone can be grateful for slavery, is beyond me. It was demeaning, destructive and disgusting. It is good to be proud of America and where you are from but don’t look down on a place you have never been too and rely on racist broadcasting and news.

@D
Thank you!!

Uncle Ruckus as mofo.

Booooo you get TWO thumbs down for your unspeakable idiocy.

Clearly he can’t be serious. He’s trying to stir up some ish. Does he got a new book coming out? What’s he peddling?

I am quite shocked with some of the posts. As one poster has already said Africa is a continent and not a county just as Europe is a continent. The continent just like the Americas is vast and diverse.

I find this man’s comments depressing. I can’t believe that anyone who is famliair with the history of slavery in the Americas could say such things. Slavery and the slave trade was a blot on humanity.

I am black British from African descent and I studied American slavery, Jim Crow and the civil rights movement at university. Slavery and Jim Crow was a dark time in American history. And I can not believe that anyone in this day and age could say that those who traded in African slaves and those who made a living off the labour of Africans were doing them and their descents a favour.

So many defenders of slavery at the time had the same argument. They said that slavery would ‘civilize’ the African. This is racist talk.

Sorry for the typos.

I believe a book does exist, but there’s also a website if you’re interested. Here’s the link to the web address:

@ Everyone, (especially BLAQ, REDD TONEY, PASSENGER 57, NINA KNOWS…PLEASE READ AND PASS ON..

Go here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/geoffrey-dunn/watermellon-roll-more-rac_b_152743.html

It’s very important. I’ll check you guys tomorrow I had to put this down…And I copied the link, directly, so you can see it for yourselves. I wouldn’t want to get the details wrong….and intentionally promote racist propaganda….

@Joey B- I;m not mad at you, feelings were hurt, but not mad…Truce?

Talk at you guys later..just an article I came across when reading news papers online before I lay me down to sleep…

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw!!

wooooooooo. We found Soulja Boy’s Daddy.

people r getting brainwashed by too much tv, I mean i loved blood daimond but at least i have the sense to know black people aint make the movie. he’s prbly grew up in a white neighbor hood where they were nice too his face until he wanted to wed one of their daughters. people forget the past so easy. And even that can be tolerated but to rewrite it and making it seem like it was all in good intention is ridiculous. and who knows if africa would have topped they us if it didnt get rapped so much?

damn typos

i dont want to criticize people who are on tv giving a lil food to little hungry kids in Africa and not everyone there is hungry and live like what they show on tv and i know am not doing anything to help but i really cant stand those people who come onwanting donation so they can get some oatmeal to the starving kids what they should do is build things u all know the saying about give a man a fish and he eats today but teach him to fish and he will eat for a life time it looks all good but tomorrow they will still need y not build a way for them to get clen water instead of taking some bottled water that way tghey will always need….goodness we have such a long way to go to get back to our rightful place

this really itchs me the wrong way i suppose he has a big picture of jesus up in his house too nice and white i bet becasue the white man says everything good is white and some of us runs out and buy it..i dint know jesus was taking pics back then and god and the angels came for their phot shoot i wonder if theyr were posing

Right on point jadimpiece

I couldn’t even take this seriously. @HF, I thought the same thing: UNCLE RUCKUS.

I read the Nation article earlier today, because I googled this guy. HE said he had an awakening in 1995 when he discovered Jesus…and *drum roll please* RONALD REAGAN.

I wonder if he is the inspiration for some of Uncle Ruckus’s rantings on Boondocks…

This isn’t even anything to get mad about…he’s beyond anger to the point of pure foolishness.

But slavery was just like a crowded ride in an airplane. If at random moments the women would get raped and the family members got seperated and treated like cattle, that’s exactly what it’s like.
