I'm Black, and it pisses me off how little people know about Black culture, how negative what they know about it is, and how they don't want or care to correct their wrong beliefs.

I'm doing a project on a book about the post-slavery era, and my group members are constantly walking on egg shells around me. They seriously expect me to to freak out at every turn.

Newsflash: It offends me even MORE when you assume that I am the type of black person that is going to start screaming and pulling the race card. I am not, and you should know this by now. I'm a pretty quiet person.

A guy in my group suggested we do something about black culture, and I was like "Well, yeah, that is a part of black culture. But we can't base black culture off of the slave era. It has some similarities, but it has since evolved from that". And he was like "Oh, okay."

Then, some girl goes "Yeah, let's do the Soulja Boy".

........................................

..........................................

I was rendered speechless. I cannot even tell you how many times an ignorant comment like that has been thrown at me. A person said the same thing to me, when I mentioned that we had a cook out at my church. She asked "So, what do you guys do? Like, the Soulja Boy all day?"

It just bothers me that say, if I asked about Asian or Hispanic culture, people might be able to name a few things. Maybe they are correct, maybe they aren't, but at least they aren't negative.

Whereas if I were to ask someone about Black culture, they'd mumble about Martin Luther King, Soulja Boy, hip hop, and crime.

using "gay" as an insult is kind of immature
But it was in reference to Solja boy, who IS gay.    

  EDIT: Unless the video is fake.

so one rappers gay=all of them?

and kind of suspect that dudes be searching for that stuff...


I never said all rappers were gay. As they were referring me to a Souldier boy song, I said that I don't listen to gay rappers and their shitty songs, indicating that Souldier boy was gay (as it appears to be) and that his songs are "shitty" (as I've observed).

You know you like that crank that kkk
I don't support the KKK. Nor do I support gay rappers and their shitty songs.

immature much? shitting on other folks musical tastes?  

 for shame


Immature? Hardly.

Shitting on their tastes, no. I presented my opinion, which is the basis for all musical tastes. I do not like rap, and I view it as shitty.

You totally right man. Most idiots think they know what black culture is and mock it and they dont have the first idea what it is.

They still trying to put all blacks into a little box instead of just looking at the person IN FRONT of them and treating them like a person,

How would they like it if everytime we see a white guy we say "howdy farmer y'all want some pie?"

I finally understand you. Too nerdy to join the cool KKK jocks. Thats why you're on the internet with all those stats an such. You feel rejected. All this time I was looking at you the wrong way. All kidd rune need's is a hug.

Kid Ruin just go do your little crank that KKK dance
I'm not going to crank anything like an animal, nor am I going to affiliate with the KKK at all. The KKK wouldn't like me anyway.
