There is NOTHING... NOTHING... I hate more than hearing BLACK American people talk about "God bless America" who the fuck do you think you are to take pride over a country that enslaved your race? That's some ignorent shit... Too many black folk don't know where they coming from... ok I'm british... ain't NO black people over here take no pride in being no ENGLISH man... why? Coz we know we ain't English... we know we where enslaved or shipped over here being tricked that we're sailing to a land of oppertunity, then got trapped... Now what I realized is this is what seperates American black people from EVERY other black nation of people... Uncle Sam raped you, FOOLS! (Don't worry I'm not white)

Just had to be said.

Funn DementaLL,
hmmm---Oprah doesn't want to be called African AMerican ...cause she was born here...
this is a little too racist and simplistic for me...

Jennifer,
Sorry Jenifer.... I'm madly tierd and wanted to post that before bed... So all my brain cells aren't function... I could have been more politically and perplexing about the surrounding issues here as well as the primary debate... but I'm too used to dumbing down to folks... but don't you see where I'm coming from? and yes the term African American is pretty discerning... but hey, I know America for its bigotry.. anyone in denial?

Funn DementaLL,

Your statement can be applied to any member of any social class not elite in this country. Once again this is not an issue of race, it's an issue of money. Blacks, Irish, Asians, Latinos, Women, Working class people of all ethnicities, Gays, Lower class bible thumpers who vote agains their own interests, have all been "raped" by this country. The more general question should be why we allow this shit to continue. I'm a white male, perhaps my opinion doesn't count on this issue, but I feel we all should stop electing this rich assholes that don't allow for progress and elect a President and representative government filled with average, middle class people of all make-ups. We cant change the past, but why do we insist on repeating the same fuck ups over and over again.

Anditsdeeptoo,
now that is a good, complex answer to a complicated question...bravo....let the dialouge begin!

Funn DementaLL,

Ahem...

How did the idea of slavery get to be so popular here? Oh, did you say the British brought it over with them? And what side was jolly olde England on in the Civil War? It definetly couldn't have been with the region that provided so many textiles for people with funny voices and bad teeth. In fact, the Brits began the African slave trade. An American ended slavery... We may be far from perfect, but dammit we ain't no bloody Brits! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!! (Lord knows she needs it...)

And you know where you can stick your tea!

Funn DementaLL,
You really need better reception over there if you want to comment on Black Men in America .
The American Black Male is the shit .
Our great-great grandfathers may have been enslaved , but
this century , our generation is getting payback big time ,
Please DO some research on ,Marcus Garvey ,Malcomb X , MLK jr , Sydney Piotier, Ray Charles ,Benjamin Bannacker,Miles Davis, Jim Brown , Richard Pryor , Jackie Robinson,Bill Russell ,Bill Cosby,Jimi Hendrix,George Washington Carver , W.E. Debois ,Muhammed Ali, Paul Robeson,Micheal Jordan,Ossie Davis ,James Brown ,Andrew Young , Duke Ellington,Colin Powell ,Hank Aaron,the Tuskegee Airmen , ......
I know where I come from , I'm living on the land my grandfather was born on .And Slavery was not "our sin" it was a sin forced upon us , and white people have that burden to deal with , not us .
One on One the American Black Male is the strongest, most gifted ,smartest, spritually blessed being God put on two legs. So Mr. Black englishman , go FUCK YOURSELF !!!(PISS OFF!!)
You may not have had any Black men that gave you a reason to be proud of your ethnicity, but I had my Father , and since He passed in 1983 ,I've had my step-father .And both were as much a man as any listed above . So if you don't feel enfranchised by your country ... relocate ,but don't tell me I can't love America,because I do ,warts and all .

oh yeah ...and

bcddjjsc690, like I always say, America sucks..but it sucks less then most other countries...you want to see some opression go to a third world country and try and talk smack about your goverment..bottom line in the days of yore, it was a blood thirsty, strong take advantage of the weak world..Europeans were just the first suckas to use Gunpowder the wrong way, and thusly were able to kill more people. Since the dawn of time mankinds history has been kill or be killed. It's up to us to move pass that horseshit, pull up the people around us that cling to hatred, play more PFunk and make the world a more groovy place to be..pass the offerin'

bcddjjsc690,


;p

I gotta love you for that post man. That was the BOMB!

Anditsdeeptoo, MurphD and Deepseas.....WORD TO THE MOTHER!

funn dememntall,

I felt you and your rage! Now I am an African (born in the Sudan) and am now and American (raised outside Wash D.C.. I am like Oprah, except, I do not like the reference BLACK PEOPLE. I have never really seen a BLACK person. I have seen dark brown people, but not black.

My father (who is a devout Muslim) taight me that our family did not come over to this country on no boat enslaved - we cam on an airplane - in the 20th century.

I learned my "black" history so I could be AWARE & BEWARE.

Racism is a bad thing....but jus because a group of ignorant dickheads did some sheidty shit back in the day does not mean I am going to hold it against any white people today.

I aree with deepseas where she said in anyther thread - she follows the golden rule. Love ye one another as I have loved you.

I do not care if you are white, green, purple, blue or orange, if you have love for me, I have love for you. & If you do not have love for me...I am gonna just keep you in my prayers...........

Racism has to stop somewhere and it has to begin with yourself.

So funn dementall...check yourself before you wreck yourself.
YOU, my dear post member, need to slow it down and think before you type.

I am not flossing on you...you have a right to your opinion. But I must tell you, what do you expect black people in America to do? Get back on a fucking boat and roll on back to AFRICA??? Shheeeeiiiiittttt, that is alright, I'm good. I will just stay my Brown Azz in America. At least over here, I can get a GOOD education, a CLEAN drink of water, roll on down to the Walgreens whenever I feel like it and make a SIX DIGIT income.


Peace Out \Big T
