I don't se it that way they were a proud and dignified family , most whites and blacks inthat area know that they were " respectable colored folks " The stealth part was they just didn't go around making ostentatious displays of wealth and made sure each generation laid a foundation for the next . They had nice…

What's even more dangerous is that he is equating authentic blackness with poverty which is so internally corrosive…"

MY best friend is Indian -Jamaican , I am the godmother for her kids and my first boyfriend was Indian as well, I am cordial with Trini Indians but don't really mess with them too deep
in Florida some of the Trini and Guyanese Indians don't really seem to approve of how some Jamaican Indians and Black Jamaicans flex

I don't know if it's in" large numbers" but when IR occurs that is usually the most popular , when BM are rich successful etc there , they are more likely to have an Indian or mixed Dougla wIfe many of the ads etc promote Indian Beaty , they get the jobs in corporate as receptionists etc.

Just seeing this don't you know Ricky and I are in the same witness protection programme ? LOL

Im not really a " one drop rule theorist" Tigers mom is Asian so he is biracial that being said I also know that society tends to code people visually and he looks fairly black to me
IMO it's it not claiming all your heritage that's a problem is the seeming to want to distance yourself from blackness that's the…

But if he did that how would people know he got " good hair " ????

If Dave ismad with CC then say so
He specifically calls put K &P going as far as to say they hurt his feelings for not crediting him on their show ? And that's not the first time he has done so .I am not even a big K& P fan but it's really unattractive at the end of the day Dave did not invent sketch comedy

Tristan's motto " when they go low we go lower" LOL

I am wary of arm chair mental diagnosis but well Kanye makes it so hard not to ?
But I have always maintained whatever it is that is going on with Kanye it is exacerbated by his pathological need for white acceptance and validation. He married Kim as he thought that she was the ultimate white prize and he is probably…

Hi Rima Welcome !
In all fairness I dont think @Malcoms comment was a jab at you personally.Guess He ? was pointing out a cultural phenomenon where some black men will rush to claim or defend non black women in a heartbeat , a bit ironic given the nature of the article under review
Thats my take anyway …Peace

The Title is perfect because it focuses on the mentality of people who think Ciara is dragable and spend an inordinate amount of time so
Ciara bashing is apparently a lightening rod for hotepry , misgynoir and respectabilty policing which is CGT's wheel house

Words of wisdom that will now be seen all over theses e-streets

Dude the story of your life though …write a book LOL

The majority of the white people killed by cops are poor, mentally ill on drugs and homeless , the average white person does not care about these people , think about it , it is white people who came up with the term "white trash" to describe their OWN people
For all the " all lives matter " rhetoric no white people…
