Not sure if srs
I certainly appreciate the quotes. And you put forth a truth, that for many will be hard to swallow when I say it. I know lots of black men that are educated, intelligent, employed, law-abiding, and dress snappily. Not a handful, but lots. A few year back, we got together for a wedding, and started talking about our time in college, at UF. The discussion turned to the president at the time, who was ousted for calling a black regent an "oreo." We then discussed what that meant. An oreo, obviously is black on the outside, but white on the inside. It is one of the most offensive "compliments," a white person can say to a black person. It implies that a successful, law-abiding black person, isn't "really black," because they don't fit a pre-conceived notion that white people have in their minds about black people. In one fell swoop, they strip away one's blackness, and give honorary whiteness. I myself have been called an oreo, or referred to as the "whitest black guy," as have many other people I know.
Conversely when a white person "acts black," that is a negative thing, again illustrating pre-conceived notions about blackness.
I just want to point out that at 34 pages since Saturday this has to be a record for a plinker's first post...
Here is where your experience and mine are different, and obviously guide our opinions. I have heard black people "insult" each other by calling them black, but never a white person make the same remark. But I know you have had much more opportunity to witness these interactions than I have.
Still only one post. Shill account, or just a guy who likes to start discussion and sit back and
Well, he started a discussion that has allowed people to see different points of view and remain civil. Discussions like this, in other places, get out of control very quickly. And as far as I know, no one wants to throw a planter through anyone's window.
Kut, please define "planter."

a very large legume often seen naked with a top hat, cane, and monocle.
And someone would throw a disabled, monocled, Chippendale-costumed legume out a window.... why exactly?
And this thread has taken a very odd turn.

You wouldn't get the message if someone did that to you? I would, and would pack my **** and move someplace else.
