Maybe he's trying to do some good for the hood. What's your problem with it?
He's not racist like you? Is that it? Did I ever tell you about: I'm a cracker.
When you hear "cracker" It's me they're talking about.
Even my white friends say: "Hey cracker"
USC isnt the hood dummy.
How is donating to an HBCU racist? Are you a ******* retard or something?
Demanding that he donate to a college based solely on race is racism - something that you just did. Losing respect for someone because they donate money for a good cause to an institution that is owned by white people is racist. A statement that you made in your OP. Funny how you think that he was talking about donating to HBCU would be the racist statement you made rather than the blatant racist statements that were obvious.
Dear
FA_Q2 if the motivation was just skin color, yes, that would be equally race based.
But my understanding is the point and goal is for Black people to be encouraged
and rewarded for investing in OWNERSHIP for EMPOWERMENT:
Their own community ownership of schools, businesses, districts, etc.
in order to break out of the cycles of oppression and victimhood
from the days when property ownership was denied to Blacks who were
treated as property of other people instead.
This process of reclaiming ownership does tend to collect and identify by racial and cultural lines.
So that is how people identify if they are investing in Black ownership
in order to change the perception of being controlled by "other people"
owning and running things in ways that don't represent that community's interests.
The issue is OWNERSHIP.
And it happens in cases like this one, "collective identity" of the
community seeking to pull together is united around their common race and culture.
This is one way tribes and packs are going to identify as a collective voice.
That's natural, though you are right it should never be abused to judge
and reject people based on skin color as the judgment of someone's value.
We should still respect each other, even if we affiliate along different lines.
That's going to happen, we might as well work with it.
