African-American Appreciation Thread - Not Actually an Appreciation Thread

[byron]

I don't get why they always act so proud that they live in shit holes or that their neighborhood is ridden with violence and crime.

The answer is going to be similar to everything else we observe and try to deconstruct: there are layers upon layers of disfunction. It's not just one thing.

Part of the reason is likely that it's a sign of "authenticity." Another is that it's a sign of resiliency.

The movie 8 Mile ends with the main character winning a rap battle by "dissing" his opponent with such cutting insults as, "your parents are married and they sent you to a good school." Oh no! How will I ever recover from the shame of *not* being a bastard child!

Rap battles are full of this retarded logic. Here's a famous one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1W_u5GPDys

If you're like me, you can't understand a single goddamn word of that. Thankfully, someone "translated" it, and the results are hillarious:

"The living conditions in my place of birth are much worse than where you're from" LOLOL. This is supposed to be an insult!

This is all fun and games until it crystalizes into mainstream political thought ...which, surprise surprise, it has. Here's a "privilege walk."

Among the "privileges" mentioned are: your parents are married; your parents made sure there was always food on the table. I've also seen versions of this which included having your parents read to you.

Those are "privileges" - and what do we do with privileges? We "check" our privilege. We're meant to be ashamed of privilege, to give it up. Certainly not to pass it on.

This is evil! This is an evil ideology. It couches your parents' love, your parents' hard work and sacrifice, as a negative thing: privilege. It suggests that if you have children, you shouldn't work hard for them, lest they be shamed as "privileged"

I could do this too, by the way. I could line those people up and say, "take two steps forward if you can get into medical school with lower grades than your peers" - nobody would take a step forward. Then I'd show them this:



and tell the blacks to take two steps forward.

Take two steps forward if your racial identity is recognized by mainstream institutions as a proper noun, to be capitalized and elevated in importance:



Take two steps forward if your racial identity is validated ("black lives matter") and two steps backwards if the FBI is called out when someone suggests it's "okay" to be your race:



Take two steps forward if mainstream institutions make excuses for you when you're a bigot, saying "what that guy did isn't a big deal, because he's black and he did it to a white person, so therefore it's not racist"



Take two steps forward if mainstream news outlets amplify any crimes done to a member of your race, so that everyone knows that crimes against your race are morally wrong. Take two steps backwards if mainstream news outlets conceal evidence of crimes against members of your race.



Take two steps forward if your employer has never shamed you for your race



Take two steps forward if the justice system is more lenient to you because of the color of your skin:



BTW, I could go on and on with these. And the difference between the privileges I've pointed out, and those in the bullshit leftist cuck's privilege walk is: these things I've pointed out are morally wrong! It is morally wrong to give blacks less jail time just because they're black. It is NOT morally wrong to stay married for the sake of your children.

I hate leftism so much, you guys. It is so enormously evil.

America should be a sundown country.

First night back at the theater and already I get a complaint from some guy saying that three "teens" were running around the theater and disrupting everything.

And yes, they believe the KKK is still out there lynching people.

Ironically, if that were really so (and lynching not randomly but for good reasons: murder, rape, robbery, etc.), not only non-blacks, but blacks too would almost certainly be living better lives, as in the latter case, their inherent tendency toward nigger-shines would be kept in check, and they would likely be healthier, safer, and genuinely happier.

Ain't that all kinds of fucked-up? I guess it isn't unlike a sullen teenagers resenting his parents when they make him do his homework, go to bed at a reasonable hour, not regularly smoke himself stupid with weed ― it's for his own good.

"take two steps forward if you can get into medical school with lower grades than your peers"

Y'know, when I first saw this gag, I just thought it was funny.

Now? Well, Stewie is a genius, after all, so...

What's with black people calling teachers Bro and Bruh? How retarded are you?

They call everyone that. Of all their verbal tics, that one bugs me the most.

There is a close correlation between the ratio of "bro"s-to-other-words and the time remaining until the inevitable chimpout.

The second most obnoxious word-sounds they like to utter is "SHUT DUH FUCKUP", usually at cops. They can't help themselves, but has telling a cop to shut the fuck up ever improved matters for that person?
