I totally agree, TwoDoor. That’s an interesting nickname, I once knew a homeless guy they called “Four Tooth Lou”. He could play a bongo drum like nobody else.

Oprah does it all the time, but, she doesn’t have to answer to anybody. It’s really important that when the President of the United States uses the word “we” that everyone understands that he is talking about “we”, as in “We Americans”, not “we” as opposed to “them”.

Marty, I think whats more important is what it says about black people in America in general that they have to talk in a certain voice or act a certain way or adhere to a certain persona in order to be certifiably “black”. What if the same things were required of white people? Catholics? Jews? Like we all had these fake roles we had to play. Is the stereotypical “black” persona a positive one? If not, then why is the media and implicitly, whites, blamed for keeping these stereotypes alive when it comes from within the community?

I’ll say it again, i’m tired of living in a non-truth based society.

It’s pretty frustrating when you see someone be something they’re not. Like Obama playing to the crowd, which is understandable I guess, they’re ‘his people.’ Had he spoken like this to white crowds, would he have been voted president? No way. Will the real Obama please stand up?

Are you kidding me? Black people haven’t done karate since the early 70s and that’s a fact.

Today’s African American gentlemen wouldn’t appreciate the need to see a high kick in action like your average cracker-ass would.
