[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let me explain to the white folks out there about our dirty little secret in the black community.  Most, but not all black folks have this imaginary "black card" that they force unto other black folks.  If folks like me or this dear football player don't march in lock step with other blacks our "blackness" is questioned or other black folks will labeled us as cornballs.  They will proceed by revoking this "black card" away from us.

The following will get you labeled as a  cornball amongst SOME black folks:

Speaking The King's English
Marrying a white person
Voting for Republicans or Libertarians
Not having a victim, a plantation, or a ghetto mentality 
Being an Atheist or non-religious
Hating R&B music, gospel music, or Hip Hop
Not being militant
Not walking around with this, "I hate whitey attitude"
Being biracial, mixed, or having light complexion
Having dark complexion, but not behaving like a degrading stereotype
Not behaving like a Mammy, Jezebel, hoodlum,etc.
Marrying before you have children
Placing a high value on education (Don't be a nerd in DCPS because other blacks will beat you up because a nerd is not black enough to them.)
Not "keeping it real" translation meaning acting ghetto or "black enough"
Supporting the LGBT community (God forbid that you acknowledge support for gay rights in a room full of only black folks)
Having white friends or socializing with white people outside of school or work (You're best friend or spouse can never be white in the eyes of black folks)

[b]Also, the most crucial sin is to admit that you want to be an individual that is judge by your own merits. [/b] You don't want to be attached nor carry the burden of race on your shoulders. This is the nail in the coffin.  Some Black people will forever despise you and reject you.  Individuality versus the tribe mentality is like a cardinal sin in the black community.

And the list goes on.  Honestly, if you are a black person in America you're not allowed to be a freethinker or an individual.  You must adhere to the tribal thinking that is in the black community.  Those of us who think or behave any differently, are called, "Oreos, House N-word, Whitey, Traiter, and many other vile names.  I've suffered more racism from my own people than any other group on the face of this earth.   So, I'm not surprise that this young gentleman (football player) was called a cornball.  Blacks are vicious to other blacks who don't share their belief systems.  It's called intra-racism.  Some black folks hate to see other blacks who have assimilalted into American culture.  They rather for us to "keep it real" and fight for the cause (meaning reject success and anything that has to do with white American culture).

Us cornball blacks are feared and hated by other blacks because they feel rejected by us.  They think we are going abandoned them and conspire with white folks about their destiny.  I know this sounds crazy, but most black ethnocentrists have this warped, "Us against them" type of mentality.

The PC nonsense is killing me!  Look, some of us black folks know that we're not accepted by other blacks because "we're different".  We just have to go with the flow and pretend that blacks are not as racists because only white people are.  It's insane because this poor football player is being verbally harrassed and it's accepted because the perpetrator is black.  It's so disheatrening because behind close doors intra-racism in the black community is very much supported and accepted.

Sincerely,
A Proud Cornball! [/quote]
