Has Any body here ever heard of activist
Juanita Young? she is protesting against
police brutality.She was beaten down by as
many as Eight white cops in the Bronx last
month.Her son Malcolm Ferguson was killed
by the NYPD in march of 2000.The only way
she could cope with his senseless murder
was by protesting against the NYPD.
She has been harrassed and beaten by cops
in NYC but she says she will not back down.
I WILL POST MORE INFO on this brave woman.

Why is this "Brazilian Nigger" suckin up, tryin to get in our good graces, suddenly referring to an American black woman as "brave." Bad move, kola. Very inconsistent with the role "eastwest" is supposed to play. Get ya shit straight, you addle-brained amazon.

Paula Zahn is probably going to do what so many other white, mainstream reporters in the past and present always do. Try to justify racism against Black ppl(by talking about Welfare, A.I.D.S, and Reverse Discrimation against White males). "Expose" Black ppl as being just as racist as White ppl. And try to "cover up" some of the most offensive racial comments made by White ppl.

As much as I don't take Tyra Banks seriously. She actually had a pretty good program on race. And it showed what many Black ppl always knew and feared but didn't want to talk about that we face racial discrimination the worse.

It was a rehash of old news, and ended up with Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson kissin' up to each other.

What happened with Paula Zahn? I was reading a book and then I fell asleep so I missed it. :-)

E/W - Hmmmm. So your black american step father used to post to this forum. Whatta coinkidink. I did not know that people discuss what internet forums they post to with their real world friends, family and associates. I always thought that what you do online, stays online. And by the way - "CUNTIQUE" is played out and has lost its shock value. Could you please come up with something new. Thank you.

Surprise, surprise...:-)

CNN and Paula Zahn--(thanks a mil for the spelling)--took a monumental step forward last night. Most Americans - Black and white - don't understand this "New Racism" but CNN took the mainstream dialogue on race beyond just the overt forms of racism and broadened it to include "The subtleties of racism" & how it too affects our everyday lives, which was CRUCIAL cuz ppl don’t realize this. They think racism is lynching, blatant discrimination, Driving w/BLK, police brutality, The N Word & ect. So, CNN and Paula Zahn did a commendable job!

"Expose" Black ppl as being just as racist as White ppl.

I watched it for a minute. Dyson and that other brother was good, that punk McWhorter was standing there trembling like a deer in the headlights--

White conservatives wonder why black people don't follow black conservatives and they only elevate those who are trembling lickspittles and wonder why no body will follow them

Who wants a leader that's a coward?

When it became obvious to me that Zahn was doing what I suspected--that is trying to blame it all on black people, I changed channels.

He was punked from JUMP! I thought he would be butting in, talking down to the brothers, showing his ass--they were nice to him but when he started off on one of his tangents they set him straight, even cutting him off at one point--

Ken Hamblin he was not.

Dayam. I kinda hate to hear McWhorter went out like that. I'm sure Zauhn White observers were none-2-please by that too.

"Speak of the devil: NELS! I think John McWorther is YOU, Nels. ...Sure he is!"

Really? Wrong assumption, odd guess - but nice try anyway.

Good luck on that one Tonya. Now, why don't we really get under some people's skin...

Miscegenation is a dirty word, its themes an insult to Black brilliance.

I support the mixed race movement mainly
because it will force the blacks in this
country to confront their hypocrisy.
If most of the mixed race blacks in this
country were to opt out of the black
race and seperate themselves and form
their own community,the self hatred of
the darker skinned blacks, especially of
the men would HAVE to be Dealt with.
I have meet many black americans who
have a problem with Africans,simply because
most Africans have dark skin and kinky hair.

For some reason HAIR is a big obsession
of the black community in this country.
Being from africa and having naturally long hair
made me one of the most hated females in my
school,having green eyes and a fair complexion
did not help either.I don't know of any white or arab relatives in my family
so I can not say for sure what EXACTLY I am mixed with.I just might be ALBINO.

Toubobie --

"Miscegenation is a dirty word, its themes an insult to Black brilliance."

I totally understand how lost souls (perhaps) like yourself continue to live their frail and oppressed lives in denial. If they would stop trying to drag the rest of society down into their void of self-hate and insecurity, then they actually might get somewhere in life beyond yearning for that which they "cannot" have or "cannot" be.

Miscegenation is a great word. Most of "modern" so-called U.S. "black" society owes its very existence to miscegenation. It's only the hardline pro-black zealots that go ballistic when they are confronted with a condition over which they have absolutely no control. "Black" self-hate, poor self-esteem and bad societal attitudes are very characteristic among U.S. "blacks" whose phenotype alone denies them the opportunity to jump the line. Be satisfied with who you are because as I've said many times before on this board, you will be "black" for the rest of your very "black" lives, so get used to it.




Eastwest --

Interesting post, indeed. Covered a lot of ground too. BTW, I have absolutely no problem with Africans whether they are darker, purple-black, have kinky hair or whatever and I’ve actually lived with them before. Nigerians and others, in fact. Quite intelligent too, and no Katrina types either.

It’s the self-hatred of darker-skinned U.S. blacks that pretty much irritates the palate of reason and logic amongst the others in the crowd, i.e., the lowly rest of us. They (i.e., darker-skinned U.S. blacks) haven’t figured out that the world does not revolve around their needs, wants and insecurities, and that no one really gives a shit anyway. Darker-skinned black men selectively choose lighter-skinned mates quite frequently based purely on the LSB phenotype. Darker-skinned black women constantly bitch about their looks and everyone else’s, swearing all the way to their graves that they’ve somehow been cheated because their skinny to fat black assess are alive and able to walk the face of the Earth, permed hair and all. Well, the alternative is certainly a less desirable option.

And yes, if the truly mixed-race blacks (and mulattos, quadroons, octoroons, etc.) were to opt out of the so-called "black" race (as recognized by the EEOC, CBC, NAACP and so forth), then the black "niggas" left behind wouldn't have anyone else to call mutts, parade around town, profess "look who I got!", and all of that childish narcissistic bullshit.

Nels. You are the one that posted those blue blood links, not me.

Most blacks do not realize that it's blue bloods like you and your kind who have arguably done more damage to our people than white people have. Historically, you have been a sneaky, untrustworthy creation whose sole purpose is to divide us in all areas of people activity. You bring shame to black people who are enlightened to their proud history. There is nothing authentic about you, and there is no honor in that.

If there ever were a race war, blue bloods would be the first to get done, by both both blacks and whites. Neither race trusts your kind. Something tells me that deep inside that pale body of yours, you know this to be a very painful, personal truth...which is why... Nels.. You have my deepest sympathies.
