In 2015 what does the term 'black', to describe others mean?'Black' means what now? That one is not 'pure white?' Or does it mean anyone having physical features attributed to African continent population? The term 'black' to describe people is very generic, and outside of political categorization has very litter accurate meaning in describing anything. Most people today define self based on values, lack of, not color or genetic make up. As one who is, has been, was raised around many...I can honestly say 'black' is not a accurate way to describe people anymore or way to lump so many individuals together who have nothing at all in common accept coincidental DNA past. Not sure why society loves lumping all people defined as 'black' in one pot all the time. By doing so, it robs so many of their personal, individual identities...which others seem to have the right to enjoy. Not sure why a millionaire successful 'black' must be lumped into same bucket as welfare mother who's all thugged out.

Maybe Mohammad Ali says it best over 40 years ago, so keen back then.
Now look, as if bright males like him were destroyed, drugs pumped into communities, and now people on the streets behave and talk like void social zombies without any identity accept self destructive crime culture..

Odd how most 'Pro black' types are actually lighter skinned or mixed...like Mohammad Ali above, or Malcom X, who was considered 'Red', or Ice T, very very light skinned rapper who rapped about pro black stuff. Seems most who are 'pro black' tend to be of a lighter skin tone, and darker types just seem mean, bitter, and uninterested in anything positive related to 'black'. seems the loudest proponents of 'black power' or 'black liberation' actually seem to be those of very light or mixed skin tone. Yet those of very dark African skin tone seem to be very indifferent to any kind of 'black unity' type of movement, and instead always seem to walk around bitter at everyone, the world, and especially those of lighter skin tone than them. There has to be a phycology behind this, maybe one we'll explore and try to figure out in a later post.

Kenyan symbolI kind of think this is a cool symbol in that it actually stands for something, and is African from top to bottom. Lions, spears, shield, it's culture, actually has meaning and is the difference between culture and 'black'. In America 'blacks' (void) have really been stripped of any meaningful heritage other than post slavery civil rights and the pop culture and commercial styles it evolved into. But deep down inside I think everyone yearns to have meaning other than just a consumer at Walmart. Nor is crime and urban culture you see today, a culture, if anything its a by product of people not knowing who they are and being stripped of their ancestoral identity. It's why immigrants always do better who come over with ancetstoral ties strong, cause they have identity, a moral and visionary foundation. Something African Americans just don't have, it's more of an adopted identity.

Black females miss the high servant status colonial America gave them in the past, still shows in how black female cashier treat white costumers vs non white costumers'You like that girl, you like touching and stroking my white clean toes and feet?'Yes sa ma'am, I'ze love stroking yo nice cleans white's feets, laters I'll bathe you in soapy wata, if ya's don't mind ma'am'Black females still messaging the feet of their formers masters in a variety of ways. If there's ever a revolution, black females are to be trusted less than any other group of people, at least the colonial American kind.

Hearing younger college aged whites, at these protest, utter the words 'black lives matter', feels condescending to many, who fit that description.
And also odd, how just like 'white riots' of the past, like in the 1920's, and late 1800's, where white mobs would run in and burn down black business do to outrage of some 'white' lady saying a black guy looked at her, ironic how same thing occurring now, where you have rich white hobbits from the suburbs, running into the cities and burning down minority owned businesses again in the name of 'justice'.
Then these spoiled white protesters, during the day, return to their priviledged white communities feeling they've accomplished something, when they haven't, all they did was burn down black businesses, and 'black folk' will get blamed for it, and the rich white hobbits that burned the buildings down will be forgotten, and melt back into upper society, and come back years later on NPR as psychologist who study 'black rage'.
Life is full of ugly irony.

People who insist on be called a 'void' or a crayon color as in 'black' are hyper dense to me.
No tribe anywhere on Earth, throughout history named 'black'.
'Black' is a totally colonial mindset manufactured artificial term, meant for ex slaves without an identity other than what society creates for them.
If defined as a 'void' anyone can fill that void with anything.
Can't wait to have this conversation one day on a larger level.

No other peoples on the whole planet Earth, insist on being defined by a 'color'...in fact most find it offensive, like Native American Indians, they have tribes, Navajo or Apache, or this or that, and with tribal names comes an identity.
To me, American former slaves the only ones on planet who insist on being defined by a color, which equals a void, rather than tribal identity.
No wonder so much chaos within 'them'....without sound cultural heritage, one is lost, a people is lost.

Anyone who defines self as 'black' is low IQ to me, straight up.
That means they've accepted other peoples definition of them, which constantly changes, and usually for the worse.

Black still = void and when defined as a void, that void can be filled with anything
Take for example women.
Before slaves, certain women were 'queens' of Africa, where elephants, and other majestic animals use to reign.
But now whenever you turn on the TV and watch biographies, or nature shows, it's always some skinny, Ivy League 'white lady', teaching every one else about nature and conservations and all.
And now black women, when turn on TV, always shown as creatures of colonialism, stripped of past, and re made in the image of 'convenience', other peoples convenience.
So few of you will get that.
But how you're, or how 'one' is, or even how 'a people' are defined really does matter.

Kind of 'lost it' yesterday on social media site
I got a bit upset yesterday, on a social media site when told someone, but only cause they asked, that to me the term 'black' is a social construct, it's a generic designation of 'one' or of 'a people'.
Like stated on here to me 'black' is not a culture, rather it's a void, and when defined as a void, others can and do fill that void in with their own definitions, and in the case of 'black' it usually isn't good what others fill that void with, be it other ethnicities, other 'blacks' or 'whites' ect.
Mind you I"m a person of color, but when shared this on social media, I was accused of being a 'White supremacist'...huh?
In other words 'If you don't think like 'us', than not only are you a 'white', but you're a 'bad white'...again huh?
These people were very culturally and mentally inept and very small and uneducated.
Not to mention full of hostility, but that's what happens when define self as a void.
The term 'black' is a social construct.
And I've never met anyone who defines self as 'black' who has a healthy attitude towards self and or others, but mainly others why they define as 'black' also.
If hate self, surely not going to love others who remind them of self.
Thus that heavy use of the n-gga' term.
How is it healthy to always refer to self that way, how is being referred to has a racial derogatory term a healthy view to have of self?, or others who remind one of self?...
Anyways, it's late, I'll finish this later.
Very long day.

People who define themselves as 'black'---
There's usually not much there beyond basic emotions.
Cause if one defines self as black, what does that mean?, how does one allow self to be emotionally programed?
If defined as a 'void' what does that do to ones concept of self?
Seems if defined as 'black' in political sense than seems one destined to walk around rest of life with 'chip on shoulder'
1. All whites are bad, evil, and are racist and therefore owe me, owe my 'feelings' to go out of their way to prove to me that they're not bad or racist.
Well that to is a void that can never be filled.
You cannot fill voids whether defined as one or whether define others as.
I try to engage people, women, who define selves as 'black', and there's just nothing there, black is not a 'culture', it's a political mindset, a social construct for the purpose of marginalizing a whole people.
A 'class stutus' seperation type thing.
Why do you think Indians, Native Americans don't call themselves 'Red'?
Cause 'Red' is a marginalized term applied onto them by colonial powers and strips anyone called that of their history, culture, and individuality.
The same with 'white', but in the past, and even now, the term 'white' tends to have a positive conitation behind it, in that most usually think good traits before they think bad traits...
There is power in definitions and for the life of me cannot figure while a whole people or various identities would allow selves to be defined as one big generic void.
To be continued as time allows.

When I keep hearing 'black history month' on the radio, what I hear is..
'A identity totally invented by colonialism'
'A people who forever want to prove to whites, that they to can be white'
'I am somebody, from cradle to grave, sentiment'
I mean I just don't think 'culture', cause when I hear 'black history', I just think of the above.
I just don't like how that's framed, like 'void history month'..or 'generic people identity month'.
But lumping individual people together who have vastly different personalities, over came different things, different educational level, probably different ethnic racial make up, different shades of skin, different religions, orientations, places of origin, to just lump them all together and call them 'black', to me is insulting.

I actually love this rap song, but is this 'black culture'
One of my favorite rap videos of all time, but that being said, is this 'black culture', that I just heard some guy on the radio reference?
Being single Mother having hobbits out of wedlock, is that 'black culture'?
Is crime, gangs, pimping, drug slinging, is that a culture or lack of culture?
