GBAM GBAM GBAM!!!!!!


I feel like anonymous is right about the demonizing of black women by the American culture tho. I don't understand why Royal is trying to refute it.

Ileke-IdI:


It means I support your post lol.

~Royal~:



Demonizing?...LoL That's a Bit Strong, I would say that definitely was the case from 1700-1975 (lol) but in our lifetime?..i dunno...then again im not a black woman so i might not "see" what you all "see".


See you have to remember "Lightskin Black Women" are Lorded Praised and Cheered.. Told they are angelic princess...(Aaliyah,Beyonce)

Then you have the "Pam's" from Martin..who are portrayed in a Demonizing Fashion.

Most of the times when you see black women casted in those "demonizing" roles...it's by black producers/ Or shows with "Black Male Leading Stars"

Example of this...The Tv show Martin...the "Gina and Pam" Stereotypical role...

One is the angelic pure faithful princess....

The other casted as the Evil, loud mouth, sassy ghetto promiscuous h03, that can't keep a man..

But remember they are both black women so how can we say "all" of black women are demonized..?....

I disagree...

Ileke-IdI:



Hmmm

In EVERYBODY HATE CHRIS, The lighter skin woman was portrayed as the crazy cookoo head.

Are you trying to say that Black women don't get the sassy, rude, lower class and sometimes obnoxious roles in Hollywood (non-black) movies?

True but when a black boy is adopted by a white family, their female influence is a white female and since the western world demonizes black women when it comes to being below the ladder especially in America it is inevitable they will fall for the trap easily, but I am not saying it is the excuse majority of the time

Well you are right black American culture is europeanized, when it comes to the difference between Boris and Obama you are right; at least Obama visited Kenya three times while Boris never did however in the end of the day both Obama and Boris are african american culturally and have assimilated into the african american community, both have african american wives, both have black African fathers, and both were raised outside Africa. I am not against it actually, to me majority of the time where you are raised and who your mother is really makes a big difference. I actually think both men are good men but are not culturally african.

~Royal~:
They do, it's not as prevalent as it once was....

With Black Movies Producers you virtually see it on every occasion.

The Demonizing of our women are done more by Black men.

.."If" you even want to classify something like that as demonizing...

Truth Be Told...these women do exist all over America, it isn't a character created out of "fiction".

Because of the constant portrayal of these types of characters for years upon years, black women have literally tried to play directly into these stereotypes

Its apart of the culture now.

Blacks are more at Fault for this Portrayal than Whites

Well you are right black American culture is europeanized,

kengis:

I really don't think that Obama is an "african american" culturally !
Actually Obama was raised among white people , he graduated from one of the best "white" university just like his father
Obama has nothing in commun with the mainstream black american male and never did experience the "black american" journey
Did you read his book ?you should
Obama made everything possible to differenciate himself from the black american male like jesse jackson
This is why he got elected
Renember at the begining ,black americans wouldn't vote for Obama because he was different,they were rooted for hilary
white people supported obama from the begining ,guess why ?because he 's not black american ,he share the white american experience through immigration
His dad came in America as a "pioneer" and did not experience segregation
white people are more welcoming with african migrants in general ,guess why

chic2pimp:

LMFAO @ Obama being culturally African American.

Well you are right black American culture is europeanized,

anonymous6:

well I get what you are saying he is not the traditional African american where he is the decendants of slaves but has a direct parents from Africa but culturally Obama is African American and white Americans as you pointed out

kengis:
You did not understand what I wrote
Obama is not "african american" culturally at all ...

anonymous6:

well he is, he identifies as one, his wife is one, his mentor Reverend Wright was African American so in a way he is but not completely because some of his influences was his white American side

anonymous6:

well I get what you are saying he is not the traditional African american where he is the decendants of slaves but has a direct parents from Africa but culturally Obama is African American and white Americans as you pointed out

anonymous6:

ok what culture do you think Obama is?

kengis: White people feel safe around Obama because he is different and not the typical black american

..Ight i had enough...Too much ignorance....Lmfao^....

I let the Other Black Americans waste time with this...

"Typical Black American"....

I guess a "Typical African" is a uneducated guy living in a mud hut chucking a spear and drinking blood from a dead man's skull?

If you let white stereotypes of us "brainwash" you...ill let white stereotypes they tell us "brainwash" me

Obama is very much a "typical" older Black/White American male. There is nothing "Different" about him at all

chic2pimp:

LMFAO @ Obama being culturally African American.

~Royal~:


Has Direct Parents from Africa?....

His mother was a white woman born in kansas...LmL

LoL@How blacks overly obsess about claiming "Biracials"

....He is not just Black....He is every bit White as he is Black.

kengis:
he just wanted to be elected ,that's why he called himself "AA"
he is truly a kenyan american
so being married to a black american make you black american culturally ?it makes no sense
Why do you think reverand wright rejected him ?
White people feel safe around Obama because he is different and not the typical black american

kengis:
Read his book : he defined himself as the offsprings of a kenyan man and a white woman,raised by his white grand parents
he still strong ties with his family in kenya :the luo people

kengis:

very funny LMAO

anonymous6:

well he is, he identifies as one, his wife is one, his mentor Reverend Wright was African American so in a way he is but not completely because some of his influences was his white American side

chic2pimp:


No he is not.
That his wife is an African American does not mean he himself is culturally one.
The fact that I have attended a few White churches in my life time does not make me culturally white.

I probably have more in common with my Japanese neighbour's culture than he does with the African American Culture

anonymous6:

Obama has always identified himself African American since he was young from what I have heard from his biography, which is his prerogative, so i think it is more then him being elected

anonymous6:

True but his cultural life style he calls himself is African American
