.........like holyshit kats need to lighten up & just take a chill pill.
Talking to this bi-racial dude (half black & half white) the other day and I made a crack/joke about him being confused & having identity issues cause on a daily basis his white friends treat him as being black & his black friends treat him as being white, so therefore I'm like "it must be a crapshoot not knowing what race to be on a daily basis". So then I was like "if I were bi-racial it would be nice to be white(figuratively) in the corporate world & live that "american dream" that most blacks don't ever get to live and then just be able to flip the script & turn black once I enter the hood". Now the nigga is like trippin & got hot under the collar after I made that remark and wanted to actually fight me(WTF). It was just a fuckin joke,shiiiiit. There was no ill or bad intentions on my part.
Not only that but people can't joke around anymore with one another outside of their own race. White people even though they were associates/co workers made jokes about my west indian background ( and vice versa) trying to be funny like imitating the accent & shit mainly trying to be cool. It don't bother me one bit, cause it's kinda funny when they try & speak patios or any other dialect.
I still say that Don Imus shit was blown outta proportion. Black People have heard a lot worse comments before that were intended for malicous purposes. So if u were offended by that shit, then I feel sorry for ya cause to me it just shows the "enemy" that he is winning or still in control.
The point I wanna make if anything else is that............. as a black person u need to be able to step outside of u'r self with a sense of humor & be able to laugh at u'r self sometimes when being poked fun of by people who are different from u. Having a "screw face" 24/7 is never good. A sense of humor is theraputic for the spirit & the soul(u live longer). The difference maker is learning how to seperate/distinguish a sterotypical joke whether dealing with race or culture by another race and what is the true reality. No matter how many times a kat(black, white, candystripe etc) I know from "timbuktu" makes a crack about my heritage,culture or even race, I can always laugh about it.
If u have a real sense of self then the Don Imus's of the world should not bother u. Only black people who lack any real or true identity within themselves, get phased by racial humor and literally everything that has to do with race about them.
