Nicely put and I definitely cosign what you said. Black celebs are definitely thinking more about keeping their careers going for the most part than black solidarity. 
Deion Sanders: Blacks Have ‘Audacity’ to Judge Cooper For Using ‘N’ Word
- Thread starter Mr. Met
- Start date
Wrong. I said it's sad to believe things will never be that way. And don't act like black people are innocent. There are some out there who are terrible to the core.
Are you admitting yourself to be an ignorant person? Because that is who I said are the ones bitching and moaning. That is on you, if the shoe fits and you choose to take personal offense to that.
Not by a long shot. If you're going to choose to judge someone else's view, you better have damn good reason to do so. I am pretty positive that I am one of the youngest members on this board and I have given back to not only my community but to my "brothers". Am I perfect? Not by a long shot. But I am doing more than most who sit around and complain about problems, hoping they will be fixed on their own.
No, not us. Is this world perfect now? No..But things aren't how they were 500 years ago. Things have been changed because those who suffered fought for us to live better. And yes, I saw the pain in my own mother's eyes. And I never said shit has been sweet. But I'm sure YOU can walk into a restroom without issues. You can protest (mostly) without being attacked by dogs and hoses
Again, you speak as if you can talk for everyone. Disconnected from my people? Far from it. Last time I checked, our leaders who are now dead and gone are the ones who preached not to hate, because then we would be no better than those who hate us for no reason at all. I would say I'm pretty damn connected with my people, because it hurts to see our race going backwards instead of forward.
I never mentioned slavery. I said you refer to the struggle as if you lived it. Unless something absolutely terrible happened to you, we have only seen a hint of what our fathers, mothers, aunts, uncles, grandmothers, grandfathers, and so on have seen.
...
You speak of not barking up the wrong tree yet have no problem pointing your nose as if you were above those who think differently than you. Distance myself? Can't see how when I volunteer and donate. I try to show those who are lost out there in those streets that there are better roads than where the one they are on will lead them. Hell, I'm trying to better myself as a man to prove that we can be more than drug dealers, gang bangers, or thugs.
Who are the victims? Because people seem to blur that line an awful lot. Can you truly call yourself a victim if you walk around calling white people cracker this and cracker that, then someone turns around and calls you the n-word? I was always taught, if you keep knocking on doors looking for trouble, someone is going to answer and give you what you're asking for. Are many out there wrongly-treated without cause? Of course. But we as a people like to bunch ourselves into that as if it were our own pain. Only to give us a reason to hate white people. Some who don't even hate us. And yet continues the ever-lasting circle of hate.
a kid making a mistake smmfh
Well... Due to the fact that Carlin grew up in Harlem... He knew... that if he said it amongst certain black folks... He would have gotten his ASS WHUPPED... Especially in the 70s...
BUT... the fact is... It's a shame to see these muthafuckas like Deion... WHO MADE A CAREER OUT OF BEING A CERTIFIED... COUNTRIFED ... JHERI CURL JUICE DRIPPIN NIGGA AT THAT... jump on his soap box and talk that bullshit...
FUCK THE DEFLECTION, DEION... That cracka said some REAL bullshit... and here comes Captain Coon Deion to swoop down... and SAVE MASSA'S SON from NIGGA LYCHING...
I can't fuck with PrimeTime on that. Black Folks took the bite out of that word... AND... We also made it AN UNWRITTEN RULE... THAT WHITE FOLKS CAN NO ONGER USE IT WITHOUT CATCHING A BAD ONE... AND I LIKE IT LIKE THAT...
I have PAINT BRUSH SLAP quite a few white boys over that shit... and I will continue to do so...
"so who is the racist?" 
Incredible."so who is the racist?"
"so who is the racist?"
according to deion, it isnt cooper but its all of us
damn we're being destroyed by our own kind
just so they can live in a big house next to massa
yea who's keeping the shit the way it is, black people or white people?why include it in the post and then say oh i was speaking in general, when you were quoting me. that's wack shit. i didn't take offense to anything i assumed you would direct and not passive.
and like i said. you're barking up the wrong tree. that has shit to do with what you do, you questioned me and i said you don't want to play that card about what do i do for the community. cause i do a whole fucking lot.
but i better not be in the wrong neighborhood or i can be approached by someone, shot in the fucking chest, and they can go home and it be justified.
then stop acting like it was a distant memory then. disconnected, not identifying with, thinking its a long ago past..
stop that.
something actually has, but that's not the point. its to be aware and to keep these lessons with us. that's the problem now, we think shit is ok... its WAY BETTER than it ever was but still not ok.
where is my nose up? im pleading, not suggesting i am better than.
which is what i said to do, which by your previous post could not be indicated. i do the same.
yes. this is what i don't get, if you know there won't be any equality, why try to apply it in this situation, when it isn't applied anywhere else. in this we have equal footing... its we all need to be equal to one another... in everything else though? you see it.. you see how it is out there..
what i will say to this is, it's not even hating white people. its being aware of what they are and do.
there are exceptions in how some view us.
they aren't the ones controlling the system though.
there is no circle of hate.. they hate US we hate them, they have the laws and the country on their side, we are made to be evil.
i mean in every aspect they try to make us out to be horrible. focus on the bad few and carry that as the stereotype for all of us.
this is why i said what i said to you about what they see you as..
cause they don't care about the individual just the color.
It was all good to say nigg*r until Blacks started saying & it no longer had the power. Now it's a problem
this motherfucker said he said something under pressure who let us know who he really was and i can forgive him for that
so
he was under pressure (which is not fucking true what pressure? )
and it let us know who he really was ( a smile in your face bigot)
and you're ok with that?????
ahh man colonel sanders how could you
must be the money
yea the pressure shit... what pressure was he under?
what pressure was he under to make him call a black man the n word?
peer pressure?
the kid... a 25 year old kid...
Honestly? It's both. Have you seen how some people in here talk. It could be a white baby and a black baby playing, and a few people would have no problem saying "get rid of that cracker baby." "Or why is that n-word playing with our baby." It is a TWO-WAY street.
Why include it? Because I have the right to. I'm not going to post one single line for each thought in my head. If I didn't say your name directly, which I have no problem doing with anyone. Then you shouldn't assume something. But of course, all you have to do is ask and I would have no problem clearly something up.
Again, it's a two way street. What I do has nothing to do with you, and what you do has nothing to do with me. You can keep going with that, or move the fuck on. Because in MY eyes, your actions are not greater than mine. And mine are not greater than yours.
Again, attaching yourself to a situation that happened to another person and another family. Do you feel this same way when a black teen shoots another black teen? We're up in arms over Zimmerman killing a young black man. But we have young black men killing young black men over shoes, colors, girls, etc. We must see the bigger picture before we can fix a pixel.
It's not a distant memory. But stop acting like it happened yesterday. Like I said, times have changed. Not all things have, and not all by much. But our day IS different from theirs. We can identify. We can relate. We can hurt. But we can not compare.
Never said it was ok. Like I said, I hate that sort of treatment. No matter who it is from. But we haven't lived it. It hurts my soul to think what our people went through. And I am thankful that I do not have to live that way.
Your last comment suggested that I was something other than black. Why, because I said that I am not like "niggas"? I am not. And I am sure you aren't either. There are some who just need some help. But there are others who just don't give a fuck about our people. Who would harm their own people. That is who I am not like.
As I said, there will never be equality. But I do know that if I was beaten by five white officers, I wouldn't want you telling me that you know how I feel. Because you aren't the one laid up in the hospital. The one who took that beating with me. Do you see what I mean? You can sympathy with what I went through, but could you truly relate?
Of course. I'm not blind to how some things are. Some white people are who they are. But that can be said about a few in every race. You either separate them because everyone is an individual or you combine all because of a race. Can't pick and choose. I am nor naive or stupid. I know some white folks will play their card or do whatever else that they will do. But I've seen some black people do whatever they can to see you struggle. I wouldn't really call that a racial thing. Some folks just don't wanna see you succeed, achieve, or prosper because they can not.
26 next month.
Riley Cooper= 26year old kid who made a mistake
Trayvon Martin= 17year old man who caused his own death
Fuck cooper!!, but I cosign exactly what you wrote,
Was watching fruitvale station (good movie, very hard to watch) and these parents had their two young kids (girl/boy less than 10yrs old) watching it, with all that language, and it just made me cringe at the normalization of that damn word, and we hurl it at each other.
So yeah cooper said that shit in a waaay Ill level, but the so called endearment n...a can flip real ignorant giving the right amount of testosterone, and y'all know that y'all know that be true. Don't front
I think the players on his own team should be more angry at fact that dude is back at practice , with a fine and four days off, goodell has said fuck your concerns, basically
It's absolutely sickening how lost some of these folks are. Willingly sellin' out ALL integrity for false perceived positions of stature, "friends" in high places & dollar bills. And people will be too scared to say shit b/c to cast any criticism of any of these entertainers will have you gettin' bestowed w/da label "hater" & accusations of jealousy b/c of their financial standing. All is well b/c "they gettin' money tho'". Muthafuckas don't stand for shit.

Agreed.
If Riley Cooper gets suspended for this.....
then any NFL player who says the word should also be suspended....
I want to see Riley get suspended....

show me a clip of a black nfl player using the word for that to even be an issue
I've been around Italians and never heard them refer to each other as wops.
I've been around Jews (they live in my neighborhood) and never heard them refer to each other as kikes.
I've been around Mexicans (hung out with them) and never heard them call each other wetbacks.
Don't hang around too many Chinese, but when I worked with them, never heard the word chinks.
Yet, I am walking down the street, and see a bunch of young black men using the N-word in every other sentence. This is out in public, where everyone can see and hear them.
Who the hell advertises that much fucking ignorance for the whole world to see AND hear?
There is no rationalization for using that word (especially not the way black people use the N-word today). Don't try to deflect to other races.
Jews, Italians, Mexicans, Chinese, and whoever do not make songs celebrating racial slurs. They do not make TV shows and movies where they say it every other sentence. They do not think it is funny and make jokes for everyone to hear. They do not disrespect themselves because they have a pride and a culture that they respect.
Black people clearly have little they respect if using the N-word is so important to them.
I just don't understand why black people are so determined to defend the use of such stupidity and ignorance. There are so many better things to fight to protect.
Why the fuck would you fight to be called a racial slur? I just don't get it.
its also funny though cause black men are always kids when it comes to other stuff.
when we do something good, we're a good kid.
i've never heard anyone call eli or peyton a kid. or aaron rodgers a kid..
at any point in their careers.
i have, our experiences are different. you haven't doesn't mean it doesn't happen. i have doesn't mean it happens in every circle
just like all of us don't say the n word but yet they are trying to say that we all do. which is total bullshit.
no rationalization intended. its just the truth. we are the only ones who get called out, that's fact..while others do the same shit, that's fact.
george lopez built a career calling himself a beaner...
jeff foxworthy built his entire career calling himself a redneck..
That wack ass nigga wouldn't even give me his autograph unless I bought his CD with this dumb ass track on it.
Well you must have loose associations with those groups you mentioned. I have friends in all of those groups you just mentioned and once you get to know them and be around they friends and families at they house you will see how they talk to each other.
Mexicans become "beaners" "wet-backs" "slobs" or whatever other racial slang they use. Most the Asians I know have called other Asians FOBS (fresh off the boat), Twinkies. Most the Italians I've known insult each other around food and we all know what a Guido is by now (Jersey Shore)
Don't be so ignorant to think this is something exclusive to black culture.
bruh you the only one foaming that was perfectly normal response
ALL of THIS.
Damn, Supreme Extremists broke it down to a tee. It's all about the economic power a community has. There's a reason why the Jewish community is untouchable and why we are the most shitted on.
Do I agree with what Deion is saying? Absolutely not but I understand why he said. "Keeping it real" doesn't pay the bills.

This and he once was one of my favorite players. Deion is now a punk bitch to me.
sometimes I have to laugh at folks at their rationale. duke was always a punk, but now his antics are bothering you. folks have always wanted to be a brand, well, nows hes making brand-like moves. never try to cultivate relationships with people who want to be liked.
