Black Culture Discussion Thread

[Mark Antony]

That's so nuts to look back on. She must have said something, can't just be music.

 

[HankHill]

From my understanding, it really was simply her going pop when she became a big star. I was still in diapers and have no consciousness of the discourse around her then. ****** was just hating.

Maybe it was a Black Eye Peas moment.

Back in the day never ran into this issue ever. Magas real bold out there now though.

I mean, I don’t know cuz I never went back in the day. I can’t imagine a worse time than being around highly intoxicated white people though.

Yea go watch her Biopic if you get time, it touches on it in there. It definitely was a thing.

I mean to experience a couple times with your youthful energy was cool but it got old quick. Plus you're as drunk as them so if they wanted that green smoke so be it.

Didn't know he was so vocal against her.

This is wild.

Makes me think of that Martin episode the way her name is spelled.

On the Flip Side (Liking someone that "ain't ours)

Funny thing is I honestly believe a LOT of Black people would like pumpkin eye if they allowed themselves to vs. Buying into the idea that it belongs to "them."

Because growing up, those Pumpkin pies were the ones @ Safeway/Giants and they were GOOD.

Black unemployment under Trump is skyrocketing

Garvey,

Yet some of us still voted for and would vote AGAIN for him.

The only positive thing is he is close to halfway done but he could still do a LOT of damage before his time is up.

Im never letting this up, too much "brothers" before the election kept spewing garbage and misinformation about him, Im still mad at homeboys telling me "Trump is a great business man, he will do well for the economy"

I had to clear out a lot of dudes I grew up with, its too much.

I was traumatized by pumpkin pie growing up. Cut a slice out thinking it was sweet potatoes and spit/gagged on the first bite. It never stood a fair chance after that. I eat pepitas regularly tho

 

[el presidente]

Tried pumpkin pie for kicks last Fall and it was pretty terrible

Question for y’all: can you tell the difference between pumpkin and sweet potato pie just by looking at it? Without packaging

Cats was ALWAYS dumb. You just tolerated it far to long.

 

[finessence]

Funniest thing about ALL this to me is, you got cats that despise someone like Jay-Z

Just waiting for him to get exposed about any and everything….

… but turn around and admire/give Trump a pass

I’m so glad I’ve always had a mind of my own

(Totally unrelated to Trump but, just an example of how people pick and choose, and how their psyches operate)

I have this exact same story. I cannot and will not ever forgive pumpkin pie for it either.

 

[finessence]

Mans must work for the CIA trying to convert us black folk to pumpkin pie.

HELL NALL. That ain’t ever happening dawg

 

[finessence]

Pumpkin pie tastes spoiled off rip

 

[x Buddha Bless x]

Now to me some of his sentiment comes off as something that rhymes with buffoonish but there are other points made

Plus I just didn’t expect to see this pop up on this YouTube channel





Should’ve asked him about his childhood

Admittedly I didn’t make it through the whole vid. Clocked out at black fatigue. He was fatigue inducing.

 

[Master Zik]

She wildin These only child types grow up to be ruthless (yeah she got a sister but she grew up alone)

 

[TSCQ]

get's really ugly when you roast women.
also never roast light skin women, they can't take it, they will get the whole army on you.

I get so sick of them talking about whites understanding. That’s the point. They aren’t designed to understand our plight

Again… Trump is your president dawg

Cam answered his own question. That’s the point of having power. People have tried or used status to their advantage since the beginning of time. The point is to put yourself in that position for that very reason. If I had the pull to get my child into a prestigious university or get them a lighter prison sentence or not no time at all, that’s how the game goes
