LIGHT SKINNED AFRICAN AMERICAN WITH NO NEGRO DIALECT???

Posted By: g smallwood on January 11, 2010

Here we go with a national discussion about superficial nonsense!

Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid described Obama during his 2008 presidential campaign as having a real chance at winning the first black President of the U. S, because he was a light-skinned African-American "with no Negro dialect." The statements appear in a new book, "Game Change," by Time magazine's Mark Halperin and New York magazine's John Heilemann.

Your best white friend thinks those kinds of thoughts, but they just don't say it. Let me tell you some other things they think, too, but just don't say to you. We behave like animals and **** ourselves with guns, **** and HIV ****; our families are dismal and black men have little shame about walking away from their little children in droves.

These are critical elements that speak to the quality of our lives; elements that we can and must fix, not for their benefit, but for ours. Talking about the diversity of our skin color and dialect is nonsense! And those who want us to continue our decline are happy that the discussion is about such trivial and shallow conversations; hoping it will keep us from directing our attention to the important stuff.

Yes there needs to be a discussion about race relations in America and the way our culture has arrived, the history being made today--in contrast to the rich history provided for us by the giants of our past. The discussion needs to be STOP! Stop asking and expecting more respect from outsiders than we are providing for ourselves. If we don't get this headed in a new direction, we will become marginalized, silenced, and powerless.

BLACK MEN STOP!

g. so glad you have given me a place to put this as to how discussted i am with this bull while Health care reform goes away because we are no longer interested in it?????!!!!!????

each day at a different time, I call 14048271700 when they go to the part where Jack reads a question and ask the views to email in...I punch in #2 then I say this, name,ect then I say I do hope you are recording this, I say all it ask to give them then I let thim know the date time and how I will continue until you explain why you are having your station proving what Reid said 24/7,365 days a year and you are not doing a story on this and your viewers having been telling you about your doing this for years now?????

sorry, but this is what I see, before and long after this latest frenzy about what the Black community is saying, reacting,ect. without showing enough respect that we even exist....they never allowing our community to speak for our themselves, because they may not even know we even have anything to say or that we even have dark skinned qualified to be on their studio cameras!!!!!!!
