Dr. Umar thinks the white liberals want to make black boys gay through the public school system and that abortion js black genocide. I am not surprised he’s not supporting the Democrats. He is part of the fringe and definitely not the majority of black men. He’s like the route for QAnon for some disgruntled black people online. He makes lots of money supposedly crowdfunding to build a “black K-8 school for poor black boys” but it’s still not finished yet despite years of discussing |
Says the person that has never had to question whether the people in politics, on tv shows and in movies, as news anchors, and in other areas of public representation looked like you. You come from a position of privilege that the world has always been open and inviting to people "who look like you". When someone is a minority theyfeel like the field of politics, fame, and positions of power are not welcoming because everyone looks like you rather than like we do. My parents taught me I had to be 110% and better than everyone else to be considered average and equal to others. You grew up thinking that you could do anything you wanted and you saw examples of people who looked like you everywhere. You could dream of being POTUS because you've seen plenty of white men who achieved that. For those of us that are minorities, with the exception of President Obama, we've never seen anyone representative of us as President. Until VP Harris, we've never seen a woman of color as VPOTUS. Obama and Harris help us to believe that we could aspire (or in reality, our children could aspire) to such positions. There is a world of difference between a white person voting for "someone that looks like them" as opposed to people of color voting that way. And if you can't understand that, then you have a very poor understanding of privilege and race. |
So you just listed a bunch of assumptions about my life that stem from your own biases rather than knowledge of me as an individual. White people don’t like that any more than a black person would like it if some white guy made up a narrative about their life and experiences. Why is that so hard to understand? In reality, I grew up in DC surrounded by black people who were in positions of power. I was a minority in my own community. The most powerful people in my school were black administrators. The mayor was black. The news anchors were often black. The music my friends and I listened to was definitely not by white artists. I was bullied and threatened for my skin color. I couldn’t dream of ever being accepted into many of the important cultural groups that my best friends were allowed into just because of my skin color. Ever seen a white boy at a Junkyard Band show over at Barry Farm? Hm. How do you think that played out? I am also from an immigrant family from an eastern european country and I can sure tell you about the lack of people who shared my experience in DC. The black people that I grew up with had far more cultural representation than I ever did in a million years. The point is that while I have not faced anti-black racism (although I have definitely been a part of my friend group while white people were treating us in a racist way) I have faced my own setbacks and loss of opportunity due to my own skin color so why can’t you see our similarities rather than our differences? |
As a mixed-race person, people feel this need to put you in a box with one label on it. They cannot cope with wanting to love and treasure all our cultural influences. I’m not part-black but have experienced this a lot, and it is IRRITATING. |
DP. As a white person, if you've had "setbacks and loss of opportunity," I'm pretty sure they are not due to your skin color. |
Another DP...you're white?!? I never would have guessed. |
Who isn't mixed race today? I guarantee 90% of the population is mixed race. Probably higher. |
Did anyone noticed how he grabbed the wrong bottle of water? |
Yes, a few pages back. Because no one can figure out what happened there. Did he not notice that his water was on his right side? Was he trying to show aggression toward the moderator? It’s just such a pointless Trumpian thing to do. |
I can't believe Republicans want to keep arguing about "how black" Harris is. She clearly scares the shit out of them. |
🙌 |
Harris is not 100% black, but Trump is 100% a r*pist, crook and a traitor who wouldn't waste spit on his supporters even if they were on fire.
Gee, it's just so hard to choose! |
Michelle Robinson Obama also had slave owner ancestors BECAUSE SLAVE OWNERS IMPREGNATED THEIR SLAVES.
Taunting Black people for having slave owner ancestors is not the gotcha that you dumb ass racists think it is. |
