Black Culture Discussion Thread

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.

LOL

The damage has been done, nationally and internationally.

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

Fastest way to get power within a generation is to get into the places that wield it figuratively and literally (government).

First thing Trump did when he got back in the WH was getting rid of Black civil servants and Black higher ups in the military.

What I can’t understand is how a higher number of minorities than usual bought into his grievance politics and thought they would come out the other end unscathed. Maybe they got too comfortable being in a freer America they forgot how their parents got them there…

Correct.

But MORE can be done. He has a LOT of time left.

I left upper middle class/rich black people out for a reason. Missing my whole point.

I expect him to be convincing to poor white people, didn’t expect poor black peoples to be convinced

Folks riding in hoopties and buckets with Trump decals on the whip, never expected that

I mean it's easy to understand why they would; in their mind they could rationalize it as, "What do I have to lose?"

That's legit how he framed the whole ordeal top.

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.

Always wondered why Costco didn't sell sweet potato pies like pumpkin pies during the fall season

I like both. Cats gotta stop letting society put them in boxes. That shh is detrimental to a lot of black youth

Before BTS: How Howard University Helped Elevate Korean Culture and How Black Culture Influenced K-Pop

Howard's welcome for Korean students in the 1890s led to global history-making, and today the world's top K-Pop group follows in their footsteps.

recently found out cia was recruiting at howard in the 60's
no wonder the 1st black person to fly the sr-71 blackbird during the cold war didn't say much in his interview.

 

[Grine]

My daughter helped formed the first K-Pop dance team at Howard; they’re going to be apart of the documentary Netflix is working on. Can’t wait.

My thing is, Spring Break happens EVERY year.

Different races congregate in various places, EVERY year.

I don't know if those events get as much press/attention but we know why.

 

[tay1]

Isn't Spring Break meant for teens?

Why is it an adult thing now?
