Discussions like this always remind me of a quote I read once.
Not sure who said it, but it is very true.

I'm not sure I've witnessed them doing anything "black." They just do the things normal people do. When dude is out cutting his grass, one hand isn't holding up his pants. When he walks his dog, it isn't some fight marred up pit bull, it's a little furry yapper that would sit on your Aunt Martha's tit at Thanksgiving. Although his wife does drive a Cadillac, it's not sporting 28" rims or blaring rap music. His beverage of choice after cutting said grass seems to be Miller Lite, not Colt 45.
You sound like you live in my neighborhood. The black guy who lives a few house from me is a deer hunter, drives a 4WD GMC, and has a four wheeler. He sits on the 'gate of his truck drinking beer and smoking stogies after cutting his grass.

I'm gonna distribute flyers in the ghetto How to get out of the ghetto and have a better life: Start reading books Work on speaking better. Make a habit of sounding out each word clearly. Don't listen to those who make fun of you, you're making your life better Look for a job, if this fails, knock on doors and ask around for odd jobs and save all the money you can Don't listen to those who make fun and call you white - there are plenty of black people on the other side who won't do that When you have saved enough money, get an education - GED or community college or technical school Keep ignoring those who make fun of you. You are making your life better, they are living in shite. Do not break the law - do not steal, kill, rape, sell drugs, or get in fights. Try to be honest. Find your new friends in those who work and go to school and are focused on improving their life Keep ignoring those who make fun of you When you have your degree, get a job in that field Once you have your job and have saved enough money from it, get an apartment away from ghetto Forget about those who made fun of you Keep moving forward.
Add to that their odds of landing a white girl not on meth or under 200 pounds increases exponentially.

Some back story. Wilson's parents were Ivy League. Therefore, they hung out with whites and stressed academic excellence. Very few gangstas at Harvard.
Sounds like the Obamas.
quote:
Wilson continued through college to hang out with whites and make good grades and now he's getting the treatment from some of his black team mates.
Grant Hill had to put up with that same crap when he played at Duke. Even Jalen Rose made some ignorant comments about him.
quote:
Same thing happened with Tiger Woods. He only associated with whites at Stanford and married the whitest woman on earth. Jet Magazine ripped him for denying his blackness. He insisted on calling himself mixed...Cablanasian
What some Blacks took exception with is when Tiger Woods told Oprah that he's "offended" when people refer to him as Black. How do you think Italian-Americans would have reacted if Joe DiMaggio said that he was offended when people referred to him as Italian? How do you think Irish-Americans, Hispanic-Americans or Jewish-Americans would react if one of their own rejected them?
quote:
His advisers said "Tiger, if you want to keep getting millions of dollars in endorsements...you have to be black." He has since had no problem referring to himself as black. Money talks.
I heard that Bobby Jindal had a similar talking to when he was hanging out with only White girls: "Son, if you want to go anywhere in politics, you better find yourself a nice Indian girl."

Jagd Tiger, you and I have very, very different ideas about what Blackness means. Your definition of Blackness is my defintion of ghetto. At least ghetto is the term used by folks that I know to describe Black folks with this mindset.

Blacks have been doing that for years.
And still get unfairly treated. this whole "do as they say" sounds great on paper.

We've been doing it for years, but this forum only wants further bash blacks/turn the blind eye to the positive things that blsck men are doing.

quote:Exactly. You can apply that to any ghetto of any race. The Irish, Italians, and Jews lived in ghettos, were poor and uneducated, had higher crime rates, and were discriminated against. Then they joined society and became part of the culture. The weird part is that a lot of blacks have done this too. But a lot simply won't. Remove the small part about "acting white" and take my flyer to any white ghetto too.
Like in any other race
It's for everyone.

I am so confused by your post. What in the heck are you talking about?

Why is it that black people are so consumed with someone's blackness?
I was told years ago by a black friend that whites have no idea of the division between light skinned and dark skinned blacks. This division went both ways so she said.

look at most of the successful "ghetto" blacks, they are either rapper/actors, athletes, or politicians, blacks who are successful in mainstream society outside of entertainment/politics are the ones who ignore "blackness" and focus on their own work and ability.
They have found success in what "ghetto" blacks call 'white society', this is exactly what Barkley is talking about, people like the guys neighbor that assimilates into white suburban culture.

How long before TBS fires him for not being PC?
Chris Rock was using this same material in his stand ups for years. I don't think Barkley will be fired. Pretty sure Bill Cosby is on board with this thinking as well.
