You heard him @Limbo Pete let's take this showdown onto his turf: :eek: The Meme Thread o_O.

Instead of loser leaves town, the loser has to stay in the meme thread for all eternity, liking daily posts about Michelle Obama being a man monkey and Hillary losing the election.

And @Yorkist my offer still stands on you telling me your former username. Having the old comrade like your posts and play his insincere race cards on your behalf can be pretty, pretty powerful, my friend.

Not all blacks in America have the same cultural roots. His family recently came from elsewhere and is of high socio-economic status. Didn't marry into it either. As far as the problems go when "black culture" is described around here, I bet plenty of white guys like @Gutter Chris have far more insightful experience. Just sayin'.

That doesn't make much sense. Regardless of my socio-economic status or my spouse, when I walk out my door I live the life of black America. You don't know my friends, you don't know my family's economic status beyond my immediate family. You don't know my dating history, my education history, etc. My experiences.

I don't get to start every conversation with "Hey before you judge me, my parents X and my wife Y. I went to law school." It isn't tattooed on my forehead for when I walk into a store. It's not what I'm judged on or treated by. No one starts a random conversation with "Are you a well educated, high net worth individual? I need to know so that I can suspend my normal black assumptions."

As far problems go when "black America" is described, I know far more than any white person is concerned.

It's part and parcel of the absurdity surrounding this subject that people legitimately think that my socio-economic status or the background of my wife makes my experience as a black person less authentic than that of a white person.

People spend a lot of time talking about black America not taking responsibility for itself or doing better or how awful it is when black people say other black people are "acting white". But time and time again, I encounter non-black people insisting that any black person who is not downtrodden, not stereotypical in actions, beliefs and behaviors is somehow less authentic than some broke ass white person.

As if the sum of the black experience in America is defined by money.

The truth is that money changes nothing about being black in this country. You can have all of the money in the world and you're just a rich N to some people. You can be the most educated person in the room and unless you lead every conversation with your education background, plenty of people will assume you're the help. You wear the stereotypes everywhere you go because your skin color goes everywhere.

So you'll forgive me if my personal opinion is "Fuck each and every single person with these bullshit definitions of what it means to be black in this country." My dad did well for himself and one of the great explanations he gave us as he worked 16 hour days is no matter how good a doctor he is, he's still going to be looked over twice when he enters the store. They're still going to assume he stole his car, not that he bought it. He made more in 3 weeks than most people made in a year and it never changed how strangers treated him. Having money just means that those people have less power to turn their stereotypes into your reality but it will never stop them from trying.

The reaction of so many to President Obama proves this to be indisputably true.

Ya'll black folks share one culture now? Thought you said you didn't. Either way, I don't care to dispute it with you. All I know is when it comes to the mindset of an inner-city ghetto (from where people claim large problems originate from), I'm certain @Gutter Chris provides far more insight.

I think me and pan are both showing pieces of a larger picture. To him he will never be the right color and to me i will never be the correct level of affluence or culture

I think race class last name and all kinds of other legacy type issues go into deciding if you are one of americas chosen people or not and neither skin color nor money alone seems to be enough to buy a seat at that table

I dont think either group is monolithic and our experiences in life might be a lot more individualistic than we think they are

Lastly I think a lot of these issues exist in our minds just as much as in reality and our bad experiences with different kinds of people make us all defensive and that there is a good chance that some of the time we are misreading the situation

Im at my most sensitive around affluent people because i have been treated weird in the past so in the back of my mind I am always expecting it again. Im at my most comfortable around ghetto and trashy types because they feel like home to me . the group might change but im positive we all have ones that makes us feel that way

Agreed. We've all got our crosses to bear.

Are we even sure you guys are speaking about the same “natives?” There are pretty big cultural differences between different tribes, no?

I’ve become used to people on these boards telling me all about Jewish people or Hawaiian people. It’s still pretty frustrating to me though, honestly. I’ve even seen people lump Hawaiians in with Native Americans or Asians, depending.

I’d bet @Kafir-kun has gotten the worst of this, though.

Power of official vernacular? Sometimes they are lumped together on official forms like the census, maybe that is why people lump them in together.
 
So I'm a mixed race person living in a Republican state, and I just learned that my voter registration was purged. After living and voting in the same place for the past 5 years, I went in to vote today and learned that my name didn't exist on the voter roll.

I'd raise hell with the ACLU, any place with an acronym or initialism, and Starbucks.

My election notice says in large bold letters "IDENTIFICATION CARD" even though it's not any kind of identification card. Fuckery.
