re: LSU investigating racist incident *Update: Hillary responds*

Says she's a Daily Reveille columnist.

I hope it's not, but what if it's in some way done on purpose so she can write a column about it for the paper....

uhhh. no i didn't

the whole "call yourself a king/queen" is DEFINITELY a part of black culture

Why I Kinda, Sorta Hate It When Black People Call Other Black People “King” And “Queen”

quote:

---

Now, the idea that we (Black people) descended from royalty isn’t an uncommon one. It’s a popular reference, found in countless songs, texts, and speeches as an understandably empowering juxtaposition to how Black Americans have historically been portrayed here. So popular is this reference, in fact, that many of us use “king” and “queen” as pronouns. It also has some historical merit, because there were actually kingdoms with kings and queens and unfathomable wealth. But this — both the reference to descending from kings and queens and being referred to as “king” — has always (always!) bothered the piss out of me.

5 Phrases Black People Must Abolish If We Are Ever To Get Ahead.

5. "We Are Descendants Of Kings And Queens!" - Ahh, my favorite all-time HBCU Negro Motivational Talking Point, and one that I still occasionally hear on talk radio, at church, and even to motivate AAU youth basketball teams (no, seriously, this one coach actually used that line!) today. Folks, we need to keep it one hunned: most of the people who left Goree island were not descendants of royalty. It it mathematically impossible. Reality is, many of us are descendants of weed heads, janitors, and "ladies of the night". And there is nothing wrong with that. But continuing the fallacy that we are all the spawn of throne dwellers is intellectually dishonest. Admit it: if your genealogy report came back, and you discovered you weren't a descendant of a Kaing, but instead a descendant of the ancient Nigerian version of Gucci Mane, would you be devastated, or somewhat relieved? Putting outlandish standards out there for folks to live up to creates unrealistic expectations that none of us can live up to. Who needs to carry that sorta weight? Create your own legacy, even if that legacy means yelling the phrase "Brrr! Brrr!" every 10 seconds.

quote:

No, it's a wannabe uppity black thing.

now that wasn't the best answer ever in the history of mankind, but it wasn't wrong

certainly didn't deserve the vitriolic attack that you unleashed

if this is proven false she needs to be kicked out of school
