Guess you'll think twice before sporting what is literally the worst hairstyle.

that would be the topknot, tho

also i find that people who think lowly of dreadlocks tend to be imagining gross white people dreadlocks--why must white people ruin everything

I don't discriminate, dreadlocks look bad no matter what race you are.

hth, they look infinitely worse on white folk b/c their hair cant naturally twist or lock, so they go about doing weird gross stuff like not washing their hair ever and throwing weird bonding agents into it

to each their own tho

Wasn't a black guy. None of my friend's who were up in arms about Eric Garner and Michael Brown are even caring.

I guess only #blacklivesmanner :rolleyes:

uhhh im p sure the homeless guy's a black guy and that it was a black cop who did most of the damage to him

i think it'd be more likely that homeless people dont matter than a race thing. homeless people get beat up on by cops all the time and there's not much uproar b/c gently caress poor people

dunno what's so complicated about this

if you cant be a violent petty abuser of your power then whats the point of becoming a cop in the first place

theyre not even legally required to protect or serve the communities they police, so it comes down to coercing them

You picked the wrong day to be black, son.

i mean, DC is called Chocolate City colloquially. sure that wont be the case in like a decade thanks to gentrification (i mean ffs theyre trying to gentrify anacostia, good luck with that) but, like, im sure there were hundreds of dudes they could've pulled off the street that fit that broad description

it baffles me at to why white people beat themselves up so much and dip into masturbatory white guilting themselves b/c, like, of course youre racist and have racist thoughts actions and inclinations b/c we exist in a racial hegemony. stop being so loving basic and move on to helping things change or whatever

you're right, I'm totally done feeling bad about slavery. such a weight off my mind, thank you

I dunno why you would feel personally responsible for slavery. poo poo. There are more modern grievances that minorities can cite that you could beat yourself up on because chances are your parents and maybe grandparents benefitted from them (redlining is one of them).

Like. If you actually wanted to he racially progressive you wouldn't go all white guilt about stuff (because it helps no one and is all boo-hoo, poor white me for being white and privileged) and just accept that society is set up to benefit whites to the detriment of nonwhites, that this prolly taints every thought and interaction you have with nonwhites, then you go about watching yourself for when you inevitably so or do something racist and accept the reproach you get from minorities seeking to point out 'hey that's racist' rather than getting all butthurt about how you could never be racist because you remember that society is set up to lead you to racist conclusions. :shrug:

But that requires too much introspection for most and so racism tends to get a pass

The conflation of success with "acting white" is, IMO, one of the most common examples of systemic racism because it essentially alienates Black behavior from success and enforces the subliminal assumption that a Black person cannot be both loyal to his roots and successful at the same time.
The trappings of success: fashion, education, modes of speech, etc... are all branded as "white" things, and Black people who adopt them are seen as somehow inauthentic by both whites and other Blacks.
That is something that needs to change if minorities are to move up in our society. Instead of chiding a Black person for "acting white," in order to get ahead, you should stop and ask yourself why you assume that he must somehow act contrary to his own success in order to "act Black."

most people ive met who've chided me for acting white and not acting black have been white people, hth

it's really not a case of black people holding black people down, moreso white people being uncomfortable with someone acting against a stereotype b/c that's how ya'll neatly rationalize perpetuating a racial hegemony

yea way to flip it around on them

see what i find absurd about the post is that it presupposes that black people don't already know that black people can come in all sorts of varieties (ofc we do we're loving black and have varied interests that we talk to each other about) and that its the all-knowing white people who truly recognize us for the many differences between one black guy to the next. it's straight up ivory tower bullshit that comes from never actually speaking with black people at length but musing about them among other white folk
