The Light Skin/Dark Skin Debate Among Black Teens

One of the deepest sicknesses afflicting African Americans is the obsession with skin tone and colorism.
This video is a window into that mentality.

George Zimmerman Was Appropriately Acquitted!

Now that the dust is beginning to settle around the Trayvon Martin legal case in Florida, it's time to reflect on the reality of the situation.  While I hate the fact that Zimmerman went out of his way to confront Trayvon against the direction of the police dispatcher, I still believe the jury in this case was bound by the restrictions of Florida law. 

Trayvon did not do himself any favors by brutally attacking Zimmerman and therein lies the reason Zimmerman was aquitted under the theory of self-defense.  Had Trayvon not chosen to physically attack Zimmerman.  Had Trayvon not mounted him in MMA style and pounded his head in the concrete.  Had Trayvon simply remained calm and non-violent he would likely be alive today, and if not, Zimmerman would be serving his first month in state prison.

Zimmerman's legal troubles are not over however.  The US Department of Justice is still reviewing the facts to determine if Zimmerman's racially-tinged decision to stalk Trayvon amount to a hate crime so don't be surprised if he is indicted federally.

The Martin family will also go after Zimmerman civilly to try and recover the hundreds of thousands of donated dollars for Zimmerman's legal expenses.

The most appalling element of this incident is the press coverage.  The press seems to be inciting and polarizing public opinion for the sake of ratings without giving due to all of the key facts in the case.  Hatred, distrust and hurt feelings abound as a result.

Stay tuned for the next chapter folks because this ain't over by any stretch.

The Black Man's Guide 2 Understanding The Black Woman

For those of you who are not familiar with Shahrazad Ali, she wrote a very controvesial book in the early 1990's that was ahead of its time in insight.  Black men praised the book; black women excoriated it.

Today, many black women have taken a second look and realize that the relationship dynamics Ali wrote and spoke of are true.

Please have a look at her lecture to see what I mean.

A Little Fun With Paula Deen

Most of us are aware that Paula Deen has been recently critisized for admitting to making racist remarks during a deposition.  Well, I don't know if she is really racist or not, but you just have to see this video parody!

In Defense Of Black People Who "Act White."

This is some wise commentary by Mr Vee who explains why well-spoken black Americans are criticized for "acting white."  Only a sick and dysfunctional people would do that.

White Anger And The "New Niggers"

It is axiomatic that bad economic times bring out the worst in people.  The below video shows an angry white man who provokes and vents his frustration on an immigrant store clerk.  It appears the dispute arose from the fact that the clerk refused to sell beer to the white man.  The white man resents this and give holy racial hell to the immigrant clerk.

This is sad to see but indicative of how SOME whites attempt to provoke minorities then invoke the state as revenge.  This immigrant did not fall for the trick, but I have seen many African Americans fall for it and pay with their freedom (and their lives in some cases).

If there is any wonder why I cannot stand the thought of ever moving back to the USA, it is people like this white guy and the camera man too.

The White Female Presumption of Interest

Most ethnic men in America, especially African American ones, have wondered why white women (no matter how unattractive) presume if they like a man, the man will like her in return.  It's as if these women completely disregard the fact that we men have particular preferences in women that they do not embody.  It also is if whiteness trumps any and all other characteristics that men evaluate in women.

Women thinking highly of themselves is quite appropriate, but what gets me is the anger, resentment, and surprise that these women feel when they are rebuffed romantically. On a few occasions, white women have felt the need to explain to me that they "just [asked] me out" as if I was not smart enough to discern that on my own.

I'm sure the American social hierarchy plays a role in white women's minds wherein they think those below them ought to be honored to accept their interest.  That's not how it works however. 

So women, when a guy who happens not to be white is not showing any romanitic inclination towards you, don't call him gay, lazy, or too dumb to realize your value and worth, he just ain't into you!
