Yep, that poster is a perfect example of someone who will never be reached by Whitlocks points. He doesn't want to and never will

I mean, that's what Whitlock is doing by using the term. What is interesting about Whitlock using a racial slur? It's a pretty straight-forward question.

Then, they tend to go down that slippery slope that is victimhood, where everything that doesn't work out for them, is due to them being black.
That's not really an interesting take on mixed race people. A racial slur is still a racial slur, it doesn't matter who uses it. A couple of examples doesn't mean shite. Whitlock isn't breaking new ground here, he's a just another black man trying to tell a biracial person that they ain't black.
Weird how our current VP identified as Indian her whole life until running for higher office.

Boom. I’d add black culture’s disdain for conservatism and successful black conservatives to the list of problems the black community needs to address.
Love them some ghetto shite stirrer. Hate a Clarence Thomas or Condi Rice.
Again, it is part of our cultures expectation of race.
It is one's behavior/politics which determines race, not skin color.
This piece by Whitlock is outstanding.

If anything being white is now a handicap when applying to colleges, professional schools and major corporations.

I actually like Whitlock a little bit, but attacking people because of their mixed ethnicity is still a pretty racist thing to do. I know that sort of thing appeals to some of you on here.

He never said use of the racial slur was interesting, he said his takes on people of mixed race were
I Imagine this is part of the take that is so interesting as I certainly find it interesting:
that in order to prove “blackness” to non mixed race individuals, mixed race individuals, particularly men, have to pronounce and embrace victim hood.
I have no earthly idea if that’s true, I’ve never even looked into it and this is the first time this theory has ever been witnessed by my eyes. It is an interesting theory.

Attaining victim status is the primary expectation placed on American black men.
Meeting this expectation is especially important for mixed-race, wealthy celebrities. In the culture created by the left, victimhood is their rite of passage into the fraternity of blackness.

Quite the jump there.

Do you not know what the word "interesting" means or something? I find it interesting that this discussion about that post has gone on for so long in this thread

Fun fact....Whitlock was a regular on Sport Reporters on Sunday mornings and leaned left, if not full blown lefty, race-baiter.....dude has done an 180. Probably why he was out at ESPN and FOXsports, I'm guessing on those 2.
I'm not going after you but I just wanted to take this opportunity to state -
You know what's even more impressive than someone who maintains a political ideology they were born into? One who has the courage, wisdom and self-awareness to re-examine the political ideology he was born into and make a change for the better. I welcome and trust these individuals more than those that have never gone through that process of discovery.

I'm not broken up about it, but it is a slur.

The one drop rule? Because white people view them as black? Or is it because black people view then as black? You tell me the reason why.
quote:

Because Whitlock uses two examples, that makes it true for all biracial people? Obviously this an untrue negative stereotype.

We're not discussing her, but I'm not a fan of the woman.

Because of the inherent privilege that comes with being black. Kaepernick never had black people in his life. Period. He calls himself black because it's an easy route to fame and adoration that his own attributes wouldn't merit if he were white. Meagan Markle is the same. She identified as white her whole life until she realized the privilege and fame she can exploit by being black.

Except he didn’t. Unless you are saying the use of the word halfrican is an attack on all
Mixed race people.
I don’t think it’s clever and the fact that it’s a term that can allow a legit thought and observation to be obfuscated by people that claim offense significantly detracts from the points he’s trying to make. See basically all of your posts not addressing his actual opinions but rather his use of a word.

This is not what Whitlock nor the OP said. Why derail a perfectly good thread with this nonsense?
And in all seriousness, if this is really what you believe after reading Whitlock's commentary, then I highly suggest you read it again. And maybe another time after that. The man made some interesting points to consider, no matter which "side" you're on.
