My Pops recently passed this Feb., Now his mother goes and arranges Direct creamation, which I was'nt trying to do, She calls and tells me to meet her at such n such Funeral the next A.M. @ 11..Ight... Cool... So me my Bish StepMother(CUNT) or Pop Dukes X wife and his mother meet...The guy goes over all the funeral arrangements costs and all that good bullshit, So my man shoots a price of 1875... Pop"s Mom looking around like DAMN(That Much), So in turn this Bish is coming out her mouth with "You know us Black People don't have that kind of money...But her and her buck tooth husband steering an Infinity, Mayne you don't know how I BLACKED...How the fuck you going to SPEAK for or on us like that as whole, Like she knows every damn Afro-American in this world...

yeah i can see ship poppin off 2. one person say the wrong thing and all hell would break loose. i dont really think this shit can ever work 2 be honest. alot of people want something like this 2 happen but shit would be full of ignorance on both parts
 
I have those discussions all the time. As a mixed person, people are asking me all the time "why do white people do this" or "why do black people do that"? I like to think that I know both sides of the story. When people ask me, I'm brutally honest with my opinions, some people say too honest. To further complicate things, I'm very light with wavy hair, many people think I'm Puerto Rican. I have been confused for Rican, Cuban, Mexican, Arabic and Italian. Because of this, I often hear what white people say when they think there's no black people around. I see a world that most people don't.
 
Yeah, back in college. We had 1 liberal ass hug a tree whiteboy version of Bob Marley, a Jewish American princess who just wanted to be a white wasp sorority girl, a militant Asian into Dungeons & Dragons/MUDs/Macworld geekfests, a cool Latina punker girl/environmentalist, and a laid back World Music lovin 12 semesters extending brotha -- ME.

It was not too bad. I doubt it changed anyone's minds though.
 
Why? I already know how they feel about me and my people; they fuckin bought us here. Don't talk to me, show me.
 
One thing I have learned is that Cubans, ESPECIALLY Miami's Cubans, will discuss ANYTHING about race and culture. They like to debate. HOWEVER, they REFUSE to discuss the fucking wetfoot/dryfoot policy in a negative way, and if you push the issue and or mention the "expiration date" of the Bay of Pigs "apology ticket" (my term for Eisenhower/Kennedy letting Cuban immigrants come to the States without the regular process by merely reaching dry land), them muhfuckas will either 1) get mad/cuss you the fuck out, 2) claim that shit never happened, and that it was ALWAYS like that, or 3) accuse you of being prejudiced against the Cuban people and insensitive to their plight as oppressed people living under the dictatorship of that tyrant Fidel Castro aka El Diablo.

IT
NEVER
FAILS
:smh::smh::smh:
 
I've had a couple of these discussions before. I picked up that some of the same social issues that disturb other races are similar to the ones Black mention. Economic positioning, how to bring their communities together to speak against racism and mistreatment, interracial dating, white washed members of their race who try to seem more Americanized than their counterparts.

Great discussion, though I think they were scared to actually say what they felt about Blacks but did acknowledge to me that they recognize immigrants coming to this country shit on Blacks unfairly even though we paved the way for many of them during Civil Rights era.
