negromancer posted:To a black woman, I'm still a black man first and foremost, and they have a wildly different cultural upbringing than white women, so my income or career path isn't really a motivating factor when it comes to dating. White women, it absolutely is. A man in his late 20s already making 6 figures is a catch for a white woman in corporate America, and my race for a lot of them becomes secondary. Hey uh kill whitey and all but I'm really not comfortable with characterizing women of any stripe as gold-digging. And I don't particularly like that stereotype of black women either - that's some hostile poo poo black men say after they get rejected. Let's not gently caress up the intersectionality game here. Women are people.

negromancer posted:Not saying they are gold-digging, I'm saying they have different priorities due to upbringing. A LOT of my white women coworkers grew up in homes with a dad that worked and a mom that didn't, or a mom that was able to not work during their formative years and could sustain on a single income. If we can't talk about the minefield of interracial dating without getting into sexist stereotyping maybe we should drop it.

Mind over Matter posted:Thank you for this explanation. I had heard about the gorilla thing in passing, but did not know the child was black or that so much sprung up around it. I had no idea that dicks out for Harambe was an alt-right thing, but I am glad to be educated on it. The kid was 4, iirc, and a big thing the internet harped on was that he had allegedly told his mother "I want to go in the gorilla cage" earlier that day. So a lot of childless nerds waved that around as damning evidence because they have no idea how much random poo poo kids that age say literally every moment they're awake. Also the mother committed the terrible sin of having multiple children.

Talmonis posted:Body image issues are a common reason for low confidence, particularly in dating. If it sounds like I'm saying that it's a primary factor, that's not what I intended and I apologize if I was offensive. But, I do think it's something people think about when considering dating someone for the first time. People are shallow, men and women both. This is way outside the scope of the thread and honestly I don't want to get into it too much, but broadly women don't think about men's bodies the way men think about women's bodies. You can see that in the diversity of straight womens' "types" vs. men's, which tend to converge on a socialized ideal woman, and in the rare media that is made from a straight women's perspective to arouse straight women - the men at the object of that aren't the loose collection of body parts straight men's erotic depictions of women are. To generalize, just because men might think of a woman as an rear end or a pair of tits doesn't mean women think of men as a dick. And man don't come into Negrotown asking about black dicks anyway. C'mon, you know better.

Tempest_56 posted:Speaking of old USPol posts, there was one back in September (I think?) going into some of the details about hair and the culture/stigmas/etc behind it. That was actually really enlightening and I'd love to learn more about that. There any good sources? Chris Rock's doc is a really good starting point, and a lot of the writeups in black media about it have authors and commenters sharing personal experiences. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1m-4qxz08So

PT6A posted:Crazy white people, saying names they way they're spelled...? PT6A I know you are pretty incurably Like This but you can be Like This in some other thread because all us black folk got rounded up in this ghetto and I'll be hosed if I'll let you pull your poo poo in either of the all of two threads we're allowed to post in now. You don't get to tell black people you know what's best for them. For anyone who read the QCS thread, this is another good example of the borderline poo poo that's impossible to request mod action about without just drawing heat on yourself for being a crazy negro whining about poo poo for no reason.

LeftistMuslimObama posted:No, not really. Because almost every single black person with a D' in front of their names pronounces it as "dee". Like, all you have to do is have a passing interest in football or basketball (which like 1000000% of white people do) to have heard these names pronounced correctly a million times. Or you just have to know an italian person, who also pronounce their poo poo that way. The only people pronouncing D' as having no inflection to it at all are loving french speakers. PT6A is a racist who likes to browbeat minorities for being "wrong" every time he doesn't understand something and you can expect to see quite a bit more of his work now that he's found this thread.

MC Smoke Sensei posted:Thread, allow me to share this with you, from the bowels of *chan /pol/. I wanted to Hey since we're in the early days of this presumably historic megathread, can we get consensus from the black posters on posting stuff like this? I love to laugh at awful racists as much as the next person, but I could see this easily sliding into PYF Reminder That Black People Aren't Human, and I don't want to get to a point where I feel like I can't risk clicking on this thread when I'm having a bad day In general I find my well-meaning white friends sometimes trot out racist stuff just to get my reaction to it, kind of a common-purpose "wow we both agree this is awful right? Remember I'm on your side" and I know no offense is intended but I don't think they get how exhausting it is when that's just the world you live in. Like, racism isn't really a novelty for us, so it's not always fun to look at even if it's just to laugh at the racists.

Thanks for posting that. I'm sure nobody wants to wade into "trigger warnings" and summon a million hi-larious goonbros, but maybe a good rule of thumb is whether the thing you want to post can foster deep discussion, or just prompt everyone to go  So like, someone might post some pictures of Sinterklaas and his cheerful slave buddy, and that's pretty enraging but it also opens up a discussion of European racism (and how they all sniff that that's "an American problem" ugh), but just Fratboy Wears Blackface #9083 might not have the same potential.

Things have gotten worse and they are going to stay worse. You WMs all think no one could ever really be that bad, that everyone's a good person deep down. They agree, but they (and you) don't tally hatred of minorities on their moral scorecards. They want us dead and they're going to get it. FactsAreUseless posted:Nobody's been run out yet.

Hey guys this isn't actually USPOL 2.0 so if you can't find a way to relate your dumb Bernie fanfiction to the black experience you can take it somewhere else. And if you're about to respond that we would have won the election if The Blacks had only turned out for Bernie you can go ahead and go gently caress yourself. Edit: Actually JFairfax you can gently caress right off entirely, you've been racist way too many times to be derailing this thread like you own the place.

PT6A posted:Sorry for posting in this thread again*, but I just want to call this poo poo out because it's unbelievably loving stupid: I have a ton of respect for you posting this, and I want everyone to know that despite my (and the entire black poster community here, mysteriously) reputation as being "angry," I will happily embrace anyone willing to do this kind of self-reflection. I'm even up for doing more handholding about bigotry and intersectionality than I usually might. Every one of you coming around to our side is one less on their side. And I think the black culture fascination with kung fu might partly be because those movies tended to play in urban movie theaters, and there was some overlap between kung fu and the -sploitation movies. And also Bruce Lee is dope af and we respect dopeness as a people.

Everyone watch Black Dynamite too. It's probably less funny if you didn't grow up on these movies, but it's still great. Actually here's my blackfolk 101 (extremely 101, don't fuss) movie list: Black Dynamite Black Power Mixtape Good Hair Dear White People Coming to America CB4 Shaft Jackie Brown (Even though Tarantino is the p-word) Do the Right Thing (ok tricked you this one's advanced, but watch it and then be confused by it and come here and talk about it and unlock wokeness inside you)

negromancer posted:Basically. Yeah, I'm an rear end in a top hat, but with a purpose. It's deliberate. It's always amazing how people talk about how "angry" we get, but fail to analyze that how people that were just calm and having a fun discussion suddenly don't want to talk and want them to leave.  I kind of want to put in a bunch of those basic cable afternoon movies I grew up with, like Black Knight, but I have no idea how those look through white people's creepy blue eyes.

Mixodorian posted:I've seen that 5 or 6 times and David Ruffin is still my favorite member. 227! Also you know what I caught on Hulu recently and is surprisingly good is The White Shadow, which is about a white retired NBA star who coaches an inner city basketball team. It was really ahead of its time - sincere and fresh attempts at a lot of stuff that became watered-down cliches in the 80s and 90s. The kids on his team were really revolutionary depictions of black teenagers at the time, and it holds up pretty well. Everyone dies of gang-related-aids-teen-pregnancy of course, because what is blackness without a bunch of bullshit.

And what's that movie where Denzel is a school principal and causes a huge fire hazard by chaining the school doors shut but he's a hero for it I guess because he's so no-nonsese Oh poo poo and Sister Act obviously. Watch II instead of I - it's the exact same plot but it has Lauryn Hill in it.
