Life experience. What other race s on each other because they sound educated?
well i actually live this life. i have heard white punk kids and mexican gang members clown people of the same race for being educated. could just be a kid thing, though. i don't think being a "nerd" was ever applauded as a kid. again, as a black man i've never felt like my own race wanted me to fail. i have family members and friends who aren't as successful as me and my immediate fam and all we got was encouragement.
I live it too. Because I speak proper grammar, I'm often told I "sound white". It's dumb. Already at a disadvtange with all of these stereotypes, I shouldn't have to deal with some other black people's opinions of what I should sound like. Like I said, it's their personal problem. Their own self pity.
you're asain, fam and it sounds like you deal with a lot of losers if you're still hearing that as an adult.
denzel washington, e lee, obama and even tim duncan all speak with intelligence and grace and nobody says they "sound white". "sounding white" =/= speaking intelligent. you gotta be a dummy if you believe this. the only time people get called out for "speaking white" or an uncle tom is when you abandon your race and culture for the acceptance of non blacks, like charles is doing.
again, this crab in a bucket is specific to youth. socially awkward kids, nerds, geeks, emo goth kids, will always get talked about and picked on while the good looking, athletic kids will get praised even if they're lacking mentally. that goes for all races.
barkley needs to pick up a book and learn how to read before he judges anyone. if he wasn't blessed with athletic ability this coon would be serving my dinner or flipping burgers somewhere.
When Barkley says this: "He keeps it real!"
When Barkley orders whites stop use of N-word: 'dumb uneducated n!gger shoots hoops for a living! his opinion doesn't count'
confirmation bias ftw
Anyone who calls him a coon for this, are the people he is talking aboutits ridiculous
I think his point on this, is that its more hurtful and influential when you hear that from a black person, than from a white person. Racism is harder to tune out and ignore, when it comes from your own race and/or family.
This take is re ed beyond belief.
making fun of someone for being "nerdy", and making fun of someone for "not being black enough" because they try to get good grades are two completely different things.
on the contrary, ive heard MANY black people state that every last one of those people you named "sound white" and are "coons"
Mexicans are the only other people in America I've encountered that clown on educational success. But at a point they realize it means their family will be better off and I think this is the underlining issue. Mexicans in America currently share many of the same negative values of Blacks in America but the family aspect pushes them forward. I've never seen a Black father drop his child off at school with a lawnmower in the truck bed.
Ultimately Blacks in America are the most materialistic sub group I know so they often fall victim to "Being cool [an an adult]". "Keepin it real". It's mostly Rap bull . I read an interesting critique of Blacks in America: they always try and stand out/be seen. Whether in a positive light or not, they always want to be noticed. For example blasting Rap out of a car. Doesn't matter if most the people look down on them for doing it, the mission was to force people to turn their heads. This illustrates the mindset of many Blacks in America. It's social pressure to be an Alpha which stems from an inferiority complex.
lol no, I'm a light skin who doesn't sag my pants nor speak in ebonics. You seem to be unaware of how divided blacks can be against each other. Also, you don't speak for everyone. And no, it is not specific to anyone.
Exactly, Ive never heard of Mexicans making fun of each other for hard work. They are one of the hardest working races out there despite the lack of an education
Trill doesn't leave the Black Panther plantation much.
So u also deal with a lot of unsavory blacks. Where do y'all live????
Troll post
A light skin? So your black or asian. I'm thinking Asian.
I'm not unaware of the crab in a bucket mentality every ce has. It's not a dirty dark secret and it's not a major problem. None of the blacks I know applaud going to jail, da fucc? That is something kids do, not adults.
^ Yes it is a major problem. And just because you don't know anyone that does it, doesn't mean it isn't prevalent.
best thing to be in america right now is a young and upcoming successful black man tbh. i'm talking managerial positions with suits and all that.
More like Trill post
I'll be back with research and links to back up my points in a few, smh.
Few hours.
So either Trill is a liar, an uneducated child or just flat out trolling...yall choose.
He plays the "not a troll" really well, almost enough to believe him.
So the most successful of black men, even Trill himself exhibits the characteristics of what Barkley was talking about [jpeg]salutethemdudes[/jpeg]obama isn't black.
where do y'all get this "da man is holdin' us dine" rhetoric from?
meanwhile in isreal
the hate for blacks is ridiculous
