I can't really speak to the rest of it, but this much:



has happened. That's one of the reasons a large number of political personalities from LA went ape-shit. The state recieves, unlike most other coastal states, no revenue from it's off-shore resources.

If white people really managed that I think they've earned the right to use weather manipulation to kill whoever they want.

so....

if Bush wanted to kill blacks and he has the ability to make Katrina level hurricanes...

why wouldn't he just, you know, hit Africa with it?

Africans that live in Africa have a naturally high level of midichlorians, which allows them to deflect weather altering lasers, due to mana fields present across the entire continent. The mana fields are thought to be the result of white men sacrificing indigo-babies to their reptile gods around 235BCE. The mana fields respond to skin color and naturally seek out those most similar to their origin, the dark skinned Africans in Africa thus monopolize the energy from the mana fields. A similar phenomnenon is obvious in Versailles in France.

It's really pretty obvious if you look at the facts.

damn...

Why is American policy not worried about this obvious mana gap?

No, an Oreo is a Black guy who acts/tries to be White. So basically, it's the opposite of a Wigger.

And I must say; over-the-top Oreo's are a lot more tolerable than over-the-top Wiggers. A white guy saying "nigga" and acting all hard and ghetto is just straight-up annoying and stupid.

I agree. When I see a "black" professor* talking every bit like his white professor contemporaries, I think nothing of it, but when I see a white person "actin' all ghetto gangsta" I find it rather annoying. The Tulsa area is full of "wiggers".

Seriously, though, is that because I am white? Am I conditioned to think that talking like a white professor is the way an educated smart person is supposed to sound like?...or is that the way it should be to begin with?


*It was pointed out to me by a racist white person that a professor I had high regard for was black(She had a distaste for my liking this professor and thought it important to let me know about it.)...I saw a great professor, the other person saw a black man.

I think the reason is that a black person speaking educated isnt trying to be white he just simply thinks thats the right way to talk. Otherwise a wigger is being pretenious.

I however think it depends on the person.

Yes, that's because we live in a white-majority nation, and they're the example that the rest of us are expected to follow and emulate.

Mana is simply the energy of the land or energy passed on through heredity. I wasn't aware it was usually portrayed as having a specific color.

Why? I tend to find that most people, at least white people, dislike them because they're affraid of them. Just because people with my style of dress aren't typically seen with a cops knee forcing their faces into the ground doesn't really mean they're all out of get you.

Not that I'm saying that's actually how you feel, I just decided to use your statement as a chance to make my own.

Nah, I mean Mana is used quite often in fiction (Mako, Mp etc) and from what I can remember it is usually a lime green-ish colour.

I dislike ghetto black people because I've lived around ad them my entire life and I dislike the black community in genral, not blacks ( I have no problem with otehr black people in geenral) and it's ideals and beliefs. I also don't like double standards that go on between the white community and the black community. FotN's attitude toward whites case-in-point.

I'll elaborate, if this is confusing..

Well, my definition of ghetto black people is a bit different. A black person who lives in the ghetto isn't necessarily a ghetto black person. Rather, it's a black person that just really knew stupid stuff that makes us all look bad, like that fat chick from The View who made the remark about notknowing if the world was flat, due to having kids.

I don't see how the language of someone who is educated is white.

For instance, I am white and predominantly hang out with white people. Further, I think I speak fairly "high brow", its something that I am somewhat proud of.

I can assure you, the white folk I hang with (who are largely uneducated) do not speak the same way that I do.

I would say that mastery of the english language and an expansive vocabulary lead people to speak in similar fashions. For instance, is it "Brown" to speak Arabic well? Is it "Black" to speak Swahili well?

Yes, English is the language of the "oppressor", but seriously, most white people speak more like what you would label as "black" (ie: using slang and abbreviations of words), if the difference between black and white speech is how "educated" it sounds.

So, basically, you dislike ghetto blacks because they give you all a bad name/reputation?

If that's the case, you can understand why a great many people, both inside and outside the "black community", would see that as thinking you're above them. Yes?

No. It's just a parallel reply quote i thought I'd add in there for good measure.

But i think the White man feels indifferent about culturally influencing Blacks into assimilating onto mainstream society so long as their likes and interests are taken care of first.

I don't think it would be in the best interest of Whites to try and "change" Black culture. They won't have anyone to point their fingers at.

Devil King
That sounds kind of paranoid.

Don't you think the poor are really the people with the finger being pointed at them?

A poor white man has more in common with a poor black man than he does with a rich white man. (or a rich black man, for that matter.)

If you wouldn't want to live there because it would make you feel unsafe it is discrimination (albeit justified). If it's just a bit too far from your favorite it's not discrimination.

A poor white man has more in common with a poor black man than he does with a rich white man. (or a rich black man, for that matter.)

I think minorities (including rich minorities) and the poor are really the ones with the finger being pointed at them all the time, the most. You can't even sneeze anymore. Yet "white" collar criminals on every level (car salesmen, bankers, head creditors, accountants, realtors, CEO's, attorneys) -all whom are mostly white (in this country)- whom prey with predatory practice devastating the lives of millions of fellow citizens with stuff worse than any other crime there is and get slapped in the wrist most of the time while officials turn the other cheek while a minority doing something a 1/10th of a white collar crime gets 20 to 50 years in Federal prison, half of the time with a good lawyer, even if the minority is well off.

Ooh, you angry black man! And don't put white in quotations to point out how unfair the system and language is, this isn't a scence from Malcom X. Unless you think the language is unfair to blue people as well, don't be so paranoid as to think 'white collar' is a term meant to keep down the black man.

And you think that rich black people have more in common with poor white people than they do with rich white people? That is simply ridiculous. You've been watching too many episodes of Cribs on MTV. A rich black rapper living on a 40 million doallar estate, singing about having a hard life in the ghetto, sounds like a marketing ploy to me.
