Could you repeat that in French, please?Perhaps because it is the No Whites who want to be talked about, to be noticed to be a race apart kind it happens to me because I am black , etc.Is it racist to know there is only one, human, race?
Why doesn't that question ever get asked in threads started by whites who make rude, incorrect and wrong racist comments all the time?
You see what i mean ?

Acceptable blackness is blackness that is acceptable to white Americans, blackness that does not threaten them or make them feel uncomfortable (racist). Barack Obama is a good example. So is Halle Berry, Will Smith, Michael Jordan, any black person in an ad, everyone on “The Cosby Show” and that pretty black woman on the evening news (every big American city seems to have one). Tupac Shakur and Malcolm X are not acceptably black.
Acceptable blacks often talk, dress and act like well-to-do white people. What white senator Joe Biden meant when he said Obama was “articulate and bright and clean”. Being light-skinned helps, but not necessary. So does smiling.
The idea caused something of a dust-up on the Internet in January 2008 when Bob Garfield wrote an article for “Ad Age”. He said Obama was acceptably black, so much so that white racists would love to vote for him to prove to themselves and others that they are not racist. Like having one of those black best friends.
Shark-fu read this and on her blog, Angry Black Bitch, she was, well, angry. She has been hearing this sort of thing most of her life. She grew up going to a white school, speaking proper English and even dressing white. She was acceptably black. White people told her so in so many words.
It made her blood boil:
Acceptable blackness is defined as the absence of overt culture and of difference. It is a level of conformity that requires absolute perfection…
Achieve that perfection and your black ass is acceptable … to a bunch of trigger happy assholes that soothe their privileged guilt by letting you tag along, all the while prepared to lay down harsh and rigid judgment should your perfect mask crack.
She does not like how it is whites, in their little, narrow racist minds, who determine what is “acceptable”; how you have to give up so much of your blackness and pretty much sell out to achieve it.
That is why so many who are “acceptably black” to whites are told by blacks that they are “not black enough”. Speak proper English and listen to rock music and suddenly you are “not black enough”.
But because “acceptable blackness” plays to a white audience and “black enough” to a black one, it is possible to please both.
It is not easy but it is possible: Will Smith, Denzel Washington, Chris Rock, James Earl Jones, Bill Cosby. I would love to know how they do it, but somehow they can put whites at ease with their blackness without having to act white to do it. It is the secret of their success.
Barack Obama, on the other hand, tries to achieve this by striking a balance by acting white but not too white. It is a thin, dangerous line: too many whites are waiting for the mask to crack.

I think so but really think you need to explain this to me in terms of American race relations.

Yea, usually if you let people talk, they will expose everything they are about....
We can always talk about what we think forever, but when you have your eyes clouded by blindness, you can not take concrete facts that prove your right.I do not know Joy Reid show here I just pick up shit from CNN and they're against the whites, you have to be blind to not see it, I'm not.I am not saying that you are but the lefties that a other storyMSNBC is even worse.

You say we are racist because we are white, but wait a minute, what are you exactly towards westerners in general you leftists. Come on you are lost in your thoughts and you do not see the reality.

I liked IM2's page 11 post. I read some others. You know I was in a college Alabama history class, with a black woman, short transcript was such:
blackwoman: how did cotton turn a profit because of slaves? what was black incentive?
me: common enforcement was a whipping post punishment on unfavorable economic measures like less than say 10 bales of cotton
blackwoman: well why would they do that paternistically to help the black people, they know that's not helpful?
I found it so cute, its a lot more fun in group discussion, you should get a group discussion group. Then again it all seems dangerous around genetics , starts sounding rather Nazi, to some black people I've met, I've always found genetic talk worse, its alienating. You agree we didn't take 4.5 million black slaves and burn them into 4.5 holocaust jew corpses, we actually took 300,000 and in the most laid back barn painting fashion became 4.5 million slaves, see the other direction. So, you know everybody confuses themselves KKK neo Nazis! What do you think of my new anthem that involves no black face, I posted it here a while ago, No awa to bide awa!
Maybe still in patriotic American tophats, thatd be nice.
Am I correct I read that the word "racism"s first major usage is by Theodore Roosevelt was in regards to the American Indians? We shouldn't have racist policies against assimilating American Indians. That's why I hate it, its so postscript and after exactly Everything isn't it? Pure blacks are over there in Africa and they use most of their paycheck to say they're just like you! Yes sir! African American by way of Niger! So between Theodore Roosevelt's the Last Mohican, The Extinction of Race by Racists! And what we're talking about, what a flexible word. The whole world's filled with my brains better than their brain, pretty distinct concept, you got the part where we're not British anymore I take it? It's important!
No doubt there is real racism against Africans, and we should stay up in Government where I referenced it, the British and others I quote their justification of Empire that 'the white race is necessary in guidance and order to the other races' pretty close to this as real justification. Totally hilarious, southern bible thumpers against evolution like well, Canaan's cursed to serve his brother , its in the bible, no abolitionist Christians can crack this nut, unlike the british empire, unlike the catholic norm, not actually racist? I've seen some people find racist quotes out in Texas, I enjoy Mississippi secession says, by curious fact of nature the African can stand the tropical heat down here , how would we pick the cotton, they expect whites to pick cotton. Nice try to the northern states anyway. Jefferson Davis says they aren't citizens, not prisoners, not convicts, slaves. Constitutional "servant" used most often.

No I didn't. The people you mention have nothing to do with the racism industry.
you people?!?!
that's racist
Since I didn't say that it can't be. Please stop trying to pretend that everything said by blacks about whites has the same meaning as when whites say it about blacks.
why would it not be the same only in reverse?
Mainly because I never said you people and then we have the history between the races whereby things have not been the same.
that still does not entitle blacks to a payoff or and other special treatment including kissing your asses
I think people who have got payoffs and special treatment now for 242 years really need to think before they make comments.
