Hi Negrotown,

In light of recent events in the US I was struck by a thought. If any of you want to move to a black majority country why not consider one of the Caribbean islands?

We have our own racial issues but at least black and brown people are in the majority. I'd welcome non-rear end in a top hat Black Americans since we're brain draining like crazy. Also our land is being snapped up by white neocolonists and if my country is going to be invaded by foreigners I'd rather it be black people.

I'm kinda joking but kinda not. If you want to gtfo of the States and move to a tropical island (and can freelance / otherwise self support) then let me know and I'll info dump.

Because drat. I know I'm not going to be using my US Visa when it expires next year. I want no part of that mess.

Fiance's family is laying the groundwork by investing HEAVILY in the resort industry. Timeshares and trips are quickly becoming the new hotness for making extra cake. Gotta get used to plantains and hearing folks suck their teeth at me.

I'm sorry, but that's insane. You're legitimizing a terrible state of affairs because in this particular case it works out in a way that you're okay with. The US prison state is a holocaust inside our own borders and acting like it's okay in any way is excusing it. loving hell

I'm still trying to figure out how I feel about this. I did laugh, though I'm kinda also not sure how black people, especially people in mixed-race relationships, feel about it. Still, I enjoyed the fact that the dumb person was the white woman, and the white dude didn't even have a speaking role, so a good video I guess.

This is kinda adorable. The problematicness is very mitigated by it being from S Africa.

Westworld and The Handmaiden Tale are basic slavery stories, handwaved and scifi'd to have white people being the slaves. Just got sat down by my white friend to watch the first episode. She is so hyped by this series.

It seemed like a fine show. Brutal and visceral. First time I heard her actually condemn this type of slavery and torture out loud. Its nice that the show is generating these discussions period.

But I have to hide my rolling eyes at the newfound enthusiasm. Same friend clammed up when 12 Years was discussed. She'd stick to how visceral it felt, or how the subject matter was brutal without participating in discussing the historical accuracy or moral questions about enslavement. It is a good thing, and I will never forget that 2017 is the year I was saw a white slave movie.

You really don't have to use some sci-fi wand to make a world where women are chattel; just go back in history a bit across any number of cultures and civilizations.

That was my "eyeroll" issue with my friend. Because the show was fictional and divorced from reality it allowed her to feel more comfortable to open up to speak about the themes of people as property, subjugation methods, and ritualistic rape. It's nice to finally get her feelings on it, but I just wanna scream "yooooooo, you are so late to the party. Took you having a map drawn using your favorite brand of crayons before you could get here.".

Rolling to see Who's Streets today. First time I've been south of the 10 for a couple months. Check out Baldwin Hills Mall sometime, poo poo is relaxing as hell. These dudes got cushioned seats, wooden benches, and those for pay massage chairs on deck. It was a fun contrast to the koreatown gallerias and the valley galleria. Super well connected to the bus system too, liked that ride better than some Ubers.

Veering slightly off the topic of a white person's story, here's my brown person's story.

I'm high off a combination of fash bashing and the regular amount of drugs. White Dude, you should go to the black side of town where ever you are at and go see Who's Streets. It's probably not at your regular theater, because of reasons to do with how film distribution works. But look up on Fandango and go see where it takes you.

Who's Streets is a fine documentary that shows the story of your police department lighting stuffed toys on fire with gasoline. Nicely done, it is a fine aggregation of cell phone videos of the hateful action. Then it adds context with the national news clips.

It is fascinating to see the hard core militarized responce to the BLM memorials and how all of that is absent from last weekend's home depot tiki torch invasion.

White Dude reading the Negrotown thread, in the process of doing that homework you will become an Ally who knows what to say to his lovely boss. White Genocide

Pay for the ticket with real people money, supporting businesses is important. It is a real tangible good that you can do. It is worth "Ally Points". No one is gonna rob you.

Eh sorry, I sometimes don't realize I'm doing it, both IRL or here; I spent a good chunk of my childhood (grades 7-12 pretty much) in a majority-minority state (Hawaii), and lived a few more years than that with two step-siblings that were brown, spent the first couple years that I moved to PDX with my only friends in town being a half-dozen Japanese immigrants that I was tutoring in English, and now live with a Black woman from NY*.

After spending so much of my life as the only white guy in the room, and amongst so many different ethnic and cultural groups, I more or less code-switch contextually like most PoC do. Even in my own home, me and the wife code-switch (she's the queen of sounding like a corporate receptionist one moment and turning into Tiffany Haddish the next) when talking to each other depending on whether we're talking about watching an ep of Atlanta or the latest article on VSB, versus when we're talking about Star Wars or whose autographs we want at the next comic con and we both turn nerdy AF.

Kanye is what you call a problematic fav.

Most of what white people get on Kanye about is usually laughable and usually overreacting.

The real problematic poo poo Kanye says is stuff about Black women, like Amber, his Trump stuff, and Racism doesn't exists crap.

And I will wilfully forget all of that while some pretty white bitch drags his name through the mud. He is mine to rake over the coals. He needs to go down for saying his actual mean poo poo to Amber, not get disparaged by a precleared music prowrestling beef.

I just watched Deathnote. Got some poo poo to say, gently caress spoilers nobody was gonna see it anyways. You might be asking yourself why this is getting posted in the Negrotown thread? First, ain't no asian thread, second I watched it with my black fiance, third I wanna talk about this guy:


L, as played by Lakeith Stanfield, is the Moriarty character. He is the lead investigator of the cops, represented by Light's dad (off topic, this motherfucker said some smart poo poo "All units find L, he is armed and dangerous, I never liked the guy"), but is a private investigator because he actually gets poo poo done. The Lakeith was given the direction of being Javert with aspbergers and does well with that material. The "bad guy". But he shows up like halfway through the movie. He was raised in an orphanage built to cultivate a batman level detective. The initiation is 7 months in a crazy room out in the middle of a compound in the county. After his Batman training he was given the only asian actor to play his Alfred



I was vaguely familiar with the source material. Read the wikipedia notes about it around 2008. It's a fun asian story, where a silly devil spirit binds himself to a man (Light Yagami) who then creates his own godhood through overly complicated final destination rube goldberg machines. Fiance had no idea what anything was going in.


Basic rundown of this film is this Light Turner is a scrubby hot topic scene teen who gets the hots for the crazy white girl cheerleader, Mia. In the first scene we see Light attempting to save ol girl from a 19 year old man stealing lunch money from a teenage girl or some poo poo. He inserts himself between the two but beyond that he fizzles out, not willing or able to throw a punch. He promptly gets knocked the gently caress out. He gets detention because the kid did like 15 other kid's homework, idunno, where he cowers from meets out at the first sighting of the God of Death and inspired casting choice Willem Dafoe.



So Disney kid receives, through no fault of his own, a bound contract with a demon that scares the living poo poo outta him. This contract gives him the power to kill any person on earth after doing a fb search of the victim's name. Before he even has his own montage of playing around with the death machine he decides to show it to his one true love, Mia, a girl who only talked to him because he saw the school bully get his head chopped off.



In this film she plays the Lady Macbeth role of telling her man to stab his way to godhood. Highlights of her arc include stealing a page from the book to kill the fbi, telling light to kill his own father, writing Light's name in a bid to steal the book for herself, getting mad that Light wrote Mia's name in the book in retaliation. Each time Light halfheartedly disagree's with her and she rolls right over him. She is a snake of a character and Light gave that crazy ho too many chances. Every single interaction with her on screen led to my wife saying "loving around with them white girls". She is the reason Asian Alfred gets got, so gently caress her.


I'm fizzling out. But basically Deathnote as done by Netflix is the whitest god damned telling of an asian story I've ever seen since David Karadine's Kung Fu. I ain't even mad anymore, they mayonaised up this script so much it would be jarring and impossible to see an asian teen perform in this. Willem Dafoe is the best anytime he is on screen. Only watch this if you are really, really, really high. Edit: The soundtrack was dope.

That is one hell of a context, I don't know how else to describe this series. I played the first game about halfway through. I kinda like it, this sequel video game making the white child easy mode, the brown child medium, and the black child hard mode.

It makes a fantastic headline, I do feel like I'm playing life on medium right now.

What the hell else would he be, looking like that? Japan is one of the worst places for not even conceiving of black people as part of the human species.

I haven't travelled internationally as much as some people but I deal with international film markets in my job and the poo poo Eastern Europe and all of Asia say about movies with black actors is unbelievable.

Asian folks from the homeland have the issue of never having seen a black person period. Full stop.

I still remember my fiance first day at an ESL school in Korea. A kid picked her arm, looked up at her and said "teacher, no chocolate". This 5 year old kid seriously thought black folks were supposed to have tasted like chocolate. He was crushed the same way an American kid figgured out that Santa is just mom and dad.
