Not the blackness itself, which is thoroughly neutral or even advantageous in some objective contexts (athletics anyone?), but a disgusting imago built around the blackness.
It’s telling that rap is not just tolerated but venerated in that milieu (there is white rap, with due deference to Eminem, but it is much less common).
If you roll in garbage, do not expect to be told you smell like a rose by those who don’t.
As if others don’t have to surpress opinions about things. Its called part of getting along with other people, and not injecting, in her case, liberal hot button racial issues into all of her interactions.
Maybe she needs to go back to the ghetto and stay there where she can eat her stereotypical fried chicken and share outrage about the latest racial.incident with people who have been programmed to think as she does.
Crawl away there, honey.
No one is fixated 100 percent 24/7 on your phony-baloney made up crises anyway.
No, Africa doesn’t beckon... they are smarter over there!!
Some individuals will never grow up. It is difficult to deal with children. That is why racism continues day after day and year after year.
Suppress yourself some more, horseteeth. And try out some new material. The “woe-is-me poor-victim” schtick is getting threadbare.
Yes, because white people NEVER have to put on faces to get along in society and social settings ever... What foolish nonsense.
Maybe the simple fact is, when a violent thug gets shot by a cop because said thug is charging him, its not noteworthy, except when you want to filter the world by race, which is a fools errand anyway.
Ferguson was what happens when a bunch of ignorant folks are incited to anger by manipulative bastards who are promoting themselves. Keep your anger sister, it will do you so much good in life, really.
I think her problem is she feels persecution that isn’t there.
After the Age Of Obama, one would hope race relations in this country would get better.
No dice. The one thing I’m sure of is the grievances will never end.
She’s just Al Sharpton with some refined language.
My Lord. Such navel gazing.
Hey, Brainwashed Dumb***
Michael Brown brought it ALL on himself
Take your own racism and shove it
“I was excited for the potential of cross-cultural exchange.”
So this is what was she was excited about? Not moving out and being her own person or anything else. Just the potential for cross-cultural exchange. There lies the problem.
LOL!
How does she stand upright with those 500 pound chips on her shoulders.
Whatta whiner.
Though blacks are outnumbered 5-to-1 in the population by whites, they commit eight times as many crimes against whites as the reverse. By those 2007 (FBI) numbers, a black male was 40 times as likely to assault a white person as the reverse.
Maybe that's because Brown got killed as a direct result of his trying to get the cop's gun... most likely to kill the cop with.
Making up your own "facts" about the case isn't really a great way to go about understanding the situation.
“I guess some white people do act “real vanilla” and only understand the realities of their own universe”
Classic projection.
Oh, and only, if only, were any other black people in Brooklyn, she wouldn’t have to feel so all alone.
or, the metaphorical Frito Lay factory!
“... as we moved into our apartment in Bed-Stuy last fall, I was excited for the potential of cross-cultural exchange.”
Translation: I was glad to get out of that hell hole D.C. and into a nice, hip, mostly white neighborhood, but I wasn’t about to set aside my racial resentment and hostility.
“...somewhere in the mix I brought up Ferguson, hoping to spark a “conscious conversation.””
Translation: I intentionally sprung a trap on the whiteys during a simple “get to know you” conversation, hoping to trigger white guilt and set the tone for our relationship going forward.
“How could he not know? Weren’t his Twitter, Instagram and Facebook feeds flooded with opinions and hashtags?”
Translation: I live in a bubble and think the entire world revolves around whatever I deem to be important at the moment.
“But as I stood there, awkwardly not saying a word — while hundreds of words ran through my head — it was a reminder of how much I would have to suppress in order to get along with my white male roommates in our tiny four-bedroom apartment.”
Translation: I was not expecting my race card to fail so soon, and I had no other plan for gaining the advantage over my roommates in a power struggle which I was determined to initiate, so I decided to bide my time until I could think of another strategy. Like, maybe writing an article about them on Salon, where they would have no opportunity to tell their side, and making them out to be the villains.
