I've heard white people say things like "I wish I had more of a culture." I think that's it...

sunshyne Oct 6, 2004

papichulo papichuloOG 2004

haha u kno my mom is crazy like that. next time u come over, look on the bookcases...i swear like every other book is black power or malcom X, or the black panther movement. the woman was crazy back in the day.

this is slightly OT - theres an elder in my old hall that has all this enviornmental fight the system type stuff in his bookcase. it always frightens me a little to look at it but its so cool that ppl come out of that militant phase and throw that burden on JH.

sunshyne sunshyneOG 2004

i will shoot you with many fragrant kisses

suchgr8heights suchgr8heightsOG 2003

and I will catch them and mush them altogether and throw 'em back to strike you down!

papichulo papichuloOG 2004

haha yea its weird right? but its all good. just dont mentioned slavery around here if shes in one of her (anti-white) moods. o man it cracks me up. the woman's quite the individual...thats why shes my mommy

sunshyne sunshyneOG 2004

this is where we disagree. (who mentions slavery anyway?) i dont hate slavery bc im anti white. i hate it bc its wrong. i think fixating on color gives ppl a reason to belittle the message.

go on loving your mommy thats cool!

papichulo papichuloOG 2004

yea i agree. in fact that whole subject drives me crazy. obviously slavery is wrong...but its the anti-white that follows the subject around that i hate. granted...if you were PERSONALLY affected by it, i can see where ur comin from. but i guess honestly i couldnt say, cuz in the truth you dont gotta worry bout harvesting those feelings..so its a protection. but sometimes when im around worldly people it drives me crazy. sensative subject though

The funky part si TODAY nobody can use the excuse, but they still try. For example: if someone's disatvantaged they try to blame it on that, it's really just a copout. There are plenty of minorities or mixed background individuals that are successful, what makes these people different? NOTHING.
Recently Bill Cosby is getting grief about stating a truth similar to the above mentioned...it's about time people start taking responsibility for themsleves PERIOD no matter where they're from or what they are.

but people do still get treated badly, like Karamo on RealWorld-Philly so it's still touchy and it's hard growing up hearing the stories of mistreatment that your family has gone through too.

yeah it's tough. My grand mother is west indian so i had to hear from her and my mom how tough it was for them growing up in the last generation about 40-45 years ago. It's a bit of a different situation because my grandmother is dark skinned but was mixed herself, so my mom is light skinned. THey had to say that she was their (mom & aunt & uncle) nanny when they went out shopping in a 'white' store.

originalsnob originalsnobOG 2004

Oh yes definately. I feel for people who have legitimate issues any kind of discrimination.

papichulo papichuloOG 2004

thats true in its entirety, except for one small part...its not true with me. people look at me and say, "Now heres a young white boy trying to make money...im not going to hire him cause hes white." Its wrong people..its WRONG. but i move on...thats right cuz im good like that.
