Stupid rear end thoughts like the bolded are once again the reason why I said you and I are not the same, so stop trying to conflate our experience, especially since that statement is a bold admission of such. You don't and can't get it. You're an immigrant. That means you came from somewhere else. Which also means you have somewhere to go back to in case poo poo hits the fan. Black people here have NOWHERE ELSE TO GO. Hell, one of the reasons the ECOWAS passport can't get real traction is because countries like Ghana want to offer it to black Americans and other ECOWAS countries don't because they buy into white propaganda. You don't understand that. That's one of many things you don't and won't get because you and I are not the same, regardless of the fact that we live with the real fear that a white cop will shoot us both dead for looking at him funny.

On top of you breaking a ton of rules here today, once again. We not the same, and that's okay. Doesn't make you better or lesser than me or black Americans (I'd really wish you'd stop calling us African Americans), I'm just telling you that even though there's some overlap, you're culturally different from me.

Welp GFsincere you should know as well as anyone that outside of maybe family. A mixed kid in the eyes of society is generally Black or White.

If you are light skinned enough to pass yourself off as white then that's how you are generally treated in society.

Obama is black as poo poo.

Someone who's that color walking down the street is going to be perceived and treated as black.

How white people treat you is not the arbiter of blackness. Sorry to take the center off of what white people think in this regard. Socially black, as in what society perceives him to be? Absolutely. Culturally black? Not at all. He has little in common upbringing wise with most black people in America. Me and nutranurse have far more in common upbringing wise than Obama does with any black person. He has more in common with Shaun King than I (and we still don't know if he's actually black, after all he leaves far too much chicken on the bone and he attacked BLM members).

You literally said that the reason black athletes dominate many fields of athletics is because black people experienced a culling or selective breeding program which made them physically fitter than other races as a whole. This is a white supremacist argument, founded in a white supremacist ideology - eugenics. It's also very ahistorical, as far as I know.

No one's picked at it, but you also implied that black people are still "bred" to be good musicians and athletes to this very day because of the economic pressures and rewards available to them, in a eugenic sense. I'm hoping you didn't mean that literally, but you're being very intellectually sloppy with really toxic ideas.

quote:

When you breed a people for physical strength and attributes and make them more valuable (by the way hasn't stopped, because black people are only valued by white people by our ability to entertain them), surprise, they might be more physically capable on average, even with living in food deserts and suboptimal everything across the board.

While we're on it, another part of my understanding of the founding fathers - a number of them who were very anti-slavery didn't fight hard against it because they thought it was a dying industry. Basically, it was getting less popular AND less profitable, so a number of them were convinced that slavery would disappear eventually, so they didn't fight it in the early days of the country.

I think there's two parts to this: that it depends on whether you consider the founding fathers to just be the signers and the framers of the Constitution or to be more than that, and that they were all usually not as anti-slavery as people nowadays are led to believe.

But considering the most important ones: Thomas Jefferson, James Madison Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, John Jay, and James Madison all owned slaves, i believe until their deaths. John Adams was the only one of the 7 more famous founding fathers to have never bought a slave or utilized slave labor.

I don't necessarily think that wondering whether a founding father was personally against slavery or not (for whatever reason) is very important when they had a history of owning black people. Obviously they found the political and economic pressures of the time more important than the rights of blacks.

No, I do not have an option. Why on earth would I ever go back to Jamaica? It's not even a place to go 'back' to. It's nice to visit, but why would I ever give up on everything that I've built up in America? Because I'm an immigrant? Yeah I'll hop on a boat to an island that has one of the highest murder rates per capita in the world. Is that seriously the only way you can contextualize this matter?

Okay in that case yes, that is focused on I guess what white people think, but in terms of that comparison their experiences are different, not necessarily worse or better.


My black rear end grew up in the whitest part of my lovely little town. I had one black friend growing up(in my position who moved when I was like 7 or so. My experiences are different than someone who grew up dirt poor on for lack of a better wording "the other side of segregation". I was luckily one of the few black people who managed to grow up in the "white" part of town. I faced my own amount of bullshit and racism though it was probably a bit different than someone who grew up in different circumstances. But it's still the(my) Black Experience.

I'm not claiming that it was common, or even that the top ones felt that way. But there was opposition to it from some people(Hamilton, for one), and my understanding was that part of the reason those people didn't fight the good fight was that it was seen as a dying institution.

edit: Found this summary article that seemed real good - the record of the framers is a little better than you made it sound: https://www.britannica.com/topic/The-Founding-Fathers-and-Slavery-1269536

Franklin and Jefferson basically became more and more anti-slavery as they got older, for instance.

It's a combination of a lot of factors, some of which I've mentioned here. It's a lot of white posters basically strawmanning saying that I said "eugenics was awesome and good and the only reason why black athletes succeed" when selective breeding did happen, and in some ways still does happen on a social level due to economic and social pressures. I never said it's a white slaver standing in a room literally putting one black dick into another slave woman.

Hell, there are studies about those who lived through the depression and Jews from ww2 that even after it was over and they could eat right and had sustenance, their children were underweight and had all the markers as if they lived through the famine themselves.

But no, it's easier to make strawmen and agree with the forum version of David Clarke than actually have a discussion on race here.
