LOL. Sort of like they folks that talk about not having proportionate amount of black coaches out there "because they're black, so they can't coach that well!"
Well you should know that I run this place, but I think we will get along. Hey man, I met you once. Jim Taylor introduced us last season.
Did I provide my disingenuous smile and shake your hand, then promply wipe my hand off on my handkerchief while moving on?
Not really actually. He is kind of a mix of what you call a "real" black and a Carlton type. BTW, does "real" black just mean a black person from a poor neighborhood or family to you? It seems that people think that just because a black person is from the suburbs they aren't a "real" black person. They are often called white washed. That is racist.
I was totally joking, but as somebody who was surrounded by the brothas growing up I don't count black suburban kids as black. They just aren't the same as my boys I grew up with. No street cred, sorry!
No, but while using hand sanitizer, you told me my PER was somewhere between that of Ruben Boumtje Boumtje and Qyntel Woods......... which I took as a compliment!
I don't understand how you can not count them as black. They arguably face more racism on a daily basis being surrounding by white people than black people from the city do when there is a higher percentage of black people. Whenever my friend goes anywhere, it is very likely that he is the only black person there. Even none racist white people notice that he is black. I have had people be racist towards him in many ways when I was with him and I've heard about more. You can say he doesn't have street cred, but I do think it is incredibly ignorant to say he doesn't count as black.
They are trying to join the white world and its conservative value system. That's how they are less black, culturally, than blacks not doing so. But in posting this, I realize that I invite arguments from those against multiculturism (in which separate black cultural values conflict with white ones). I know, I know--you say that there is right (the European legal tradition) and wrong (the traditions of the rest of the world). I'm not getting into this argument.
