The Soul-GLO Experience

[raybia]

^Well, that's like the asian chick that is disgusted by any and all things asian. You don't have to walk around in a kimono and whatever, but at the same, it's not needed to act like your people make you sick to your stomach.

The opposite of Bruce Lee who loved and respected the beauty of his culture to the point he want to share it with those who were non-Asian.

I read "Black like Me."

Great book.

Back in High school,.... Book was hated by a few of my fellow students because it made whites look bad.


Of course "Black Like Me" in my circles, (On Blackvoices.com), means militant blacks who will determine whether you are black by every little thing you do.

For example,... my actions over the last few days would have given me stigma of being an "oreo" .

the BLM folk usually believe that Blacks do or don't do a whole slew of things that are really limiting and march in lockstep with what I've had many non-blacks tell me "how blacks are."

MEH.

Well my response to any black who thinks I'm an Oreo is that I would rather be that than a hard dried up piece of coal.

Estelles insanely good perfomance on the Jools Holland Show. Complete with live band. Well worth a watch peeps.

Who said good black music dead?

The vid above slim

There is no "handbook" on how to be "black". You just "ARE". By birth. What you read, eat, how you dance or can't, basketball skills, what music you like or command of the english language has no barring on your blackness.


All of those are sterotypes........

Agreed. I think some black people buy into or try to live by the sterotype at times though.

I think so long as you're black and don't have a "I hate black people and don't want anything to do with them" vibe going, it's pretty much fine. I have known people that are black and grew up around every race but black and, while it may not be intentional, seem to skew towards that opinion. Haha, I already mentioned my little cousin who basically goes to an all white school, came home one day and told her mom, "I'm not black, I'm white." That kind of **** does need to be nipped in the bud.

Bingo! I agree.

Its also call self hate or lack of self esteem, identity crisis, etc.

yeah t:
I love the part where his at the party and another black guy turns up. His like "My Bad". Bcause there is only allowed to be one black person at a time.

Spoons is my token. Back ups are Terry and CMill. But I'm always looking for a 4th.

I have my token asian chick in my circle

 

[terry78]

Haha, I'm the token black guy on my team here at work. You will always be the token black something at one point in your life, unless you manage to always be around black people. Which is nigh impossible.

Thank God I have my Asian half to fall back on.

Who hasn't?

It all depends on your group of friends, especially if you are the only black guy in a group of white friends.

 

[chamber-music]

I always call my back up. Like I was the only black guy at my friends pub. So I called up the brothers and they down in a hour. Stregnth in numbers lol

 

[terry78]

There are other black guys here at work I go out with sometimes, but if we have team outings for our specific team, I'm usually the only black dude if I ever do go. The white guys tend to like to do the drinking contest thing whereas the black guys tend to just chill and nurse their drinks, and seeing as how I don't hit the alcohol, I'm just there not doing **** when I'm out with the white guys.

 

[Erzengel]

You mean besides taking their women?

 

[Varient]

Well my response to any black who thinks I'm an Oreo is that I would rather be that than a hard dried up piece of coal.

Well,... Usually I just laugh and tell them that they don't know what it is to be black and to pick up a book.

One guess on what they say to that?

 

[raybia]

I'm sure I've unknowingly been the token but if they would have even hinted to me that I was, I would have put my token shoe in their token slot.

 

[raybia]

Well,... Usually I just laugh and tell them that they don't know what it is to be black and to pick up a book.

Yeah thats a good answer.
