OT: Not for nothting - Things that make ya go hmmmm...

Ayy yo,

I popped on-line for a brief moment over this past weekend and I must say that I was thoroughly ashamed at the childish, racist rants, and crude antics being dished out by the leading troll account on this forum which we can all count on to doll out toxic venom and putrid malarkey disguised as an opinion to our daily topics.  The questioner, who just happened to be white according to her actual profile pics, simply asked why was there a Black American Forum on OH and whether or not we BAF'ers would feel some kinda way about there possibly being a White American Forum?  For the most part my intelligent sistas held it down like I knew they would without making it a WW3 race riot up in here.  However, I don't know about you all but I don't think we BAF'ers need a hot-headed, acid-tongued, shadow spook (hey, we really don't know if that troll is really black cause "she" never has any pics up on her profile or avatar) speaking on our behalf to anyone outside of our cipher. 

Is it just me who feels like this or am I missing something?  Holla atcha boy.

I am one of many who do not consider themselves a "African American", but a "Black American".  I will NEVER understand why that racial clarification was ever adopted. My thing is what do you call someone of another ethnicity that was actually born in Africa?? White Afican American??? Latino African American?? 

My thing is UNTIL we start paying to post here ANYONE is welcome to post anything that want.  There are several on this board who do not have a picture on their avatar OR use a fictious avatar instead of posting their own picture.

Because while the Irish can go back to Ireland; and the Italians can look back to Italy; and the Germans can recall Germany; blacks cannot find BlackLand on any geographical map.

An African.

White Afican American???

According to the litmus tests that were used prior to the 1960's, all it took for a person to be considered colored is 1/16th of so-called colored blood.  So if he/she is a White African American, they term white be over-looked and they would have been considered a mulatto by the so-called powers that be.

Latino African American??  

Afro-Cubanos.  C'mon now... At least make this **** kinda hard.

Agreed!  But my purpose for posting this in the first place was to point out that we should, as a group, be mindful of who we allow to speak for us as race.

I was on the same page with you UNTIL... I got here.... Afro-Cubanos

<sup>From Wikipedia:

The term Afro-Cuban refers to Cubans of Sub Saharan African ancestry, and to historical or cultural elements in Cuba thought to emanate from this community. The term can refer to the combining of African and other cultural elements found in Cuban society such as religion, music, language, the arts, and class culture.</sup>

Good morning handsome, I read some of that this morning and I got sort of dizzy reading...so I stopped, wow ValueMe seem to be a bit 'bitter" she even mentioned that in her posts..lol, and for her to come straight up and out and say she can''t stand "white people" that is a very bad thing to say and racist thing to say, you can't group ALL people in one lump, there are good people and bad people in all races.
 
I am not sure if ValueMe is a troll, I have actually seen her pics, she took them down after a group of women on the main board and R&R attacked her, and she seems to be straight up, she seems like a very intelligent individual, which I respect but I do not agree with every thing she has to say.

I have ALWAYS posted anywhere I wanted too all over these forums and spoke my mind, and some white racists women HAD a problem with that they are ALL OVER R&R; I guess that is why a FEW racists white women could not stand me, there are black racists just like there are white racists AND I TREAT them the same with NO respect, I HATE racists of any color.

But the MAJORITY of white women on these forums ARE NOT racists only the few that hate themselves after weight loss surgery and tend to lash out at others.

I can't be a racist anyway, My very white German/Irish fiance would have a big problem with me being a racist.
