Sigh…I came across your site while looking for a quote (positive) about having White ancestry, from May Angelou – (who I have to agree is “over-exposed” for the talent level (I’ll be tactful – we Canadians of whatever shade are known for our politeness). I saw this sad news on who is being invited to a SCHOOL (!) to “speak” to students…you are RIGHT – this principle should be fired.
My ancestors are 8th generation Afro-Canadians from the southern Gulf Islands, B.C. I am SO GLAD to be Canadian…that aside, I’m sickened by the reach of this so-called “black culture” (GIVE ME A BREAK) – Violence, talking like you have marbles in “yo mouf” and a pea for a brain, mistreating women, braggadoccio, greed, turning on each other, being hyper-sexed, being turned on by bad poetry….these things are not “Black” (or White or Asian…or Native First Nations…or whoever!) I think you will find the vast majority of Black people think these rappers are the abject fools they are.
And by the way 9lest I misunderstood) – when I say I’m “proud’ to be a Black Canadian” – I hope you are proud to be a White american (or whomever/whatever you identify as). Sadly, it seems that some White (Americans) think that if you are Black and “proud” that you are being exclusionist or racist against White people. For me, anyway, nothing could be further from the truth; I just mean it as being self-confident, having self-esteem for the ancestry I was born with and the nationality I was born into – nothing much deeper than that – and I think it is a sign of good mental health to be “proud” of being White (or Black or Mixed, etc. etc.)
And – speaking of being “Mixed” – does anyone else out there notice? Barack Obama is not “Black” – he is “Mixed” – a “Hybrid” like his (half-Asian/White sister) and is married to a Black woman. It always bugs me that the U.S. in particular seems to have to polarize everyone into “one or the other” (such as that silly “one drop” idea – it’s NUTS to have blue-eyed, blonde-haired people with a little “Black” ancestry or like the Mariah Careys and Derek Jeters being called “Black” or calling themselves Black…I hate to say it, but with M.C. it’s like a way to get the Most Attention, and be in an exclusive club without having to experience the true racism she claims to have experienced – I’m not her, but is it just me or would others never know she’s “Black” if she didn’t SAY “I’m Black!”? Don’t get me wrong, just because it’s got lots better, does not mean terrible scourges like the KKK don’t exist and do evils still – but, I agree that having a misogynistic, vile, violent thug “speak” to middle-school students is evil-doing that promotes internalized race-hatred and “reverse-racism” (what I mean is : making Black inner city people out to {unfairly} be portrayed as total idiots who hate themselves and each other and think “success” is to “stick it to Whitey” by throwing around “ho’s 7 gold chains” as if on some MAD TV skit!

There’s my 2 cents – thank you for allowing me to say it.

Canadian Black Beauty, C.M.

Chelly, why not print your comment and take it to your English teacher and ask her to teach you how to speak and write English properly? We’d love to hear from your principal. I’m sure she is a lovely educator as you say.

MsMartini, it’s sad that the only paths that many young black children have are to be a thug rapper or a pro athlete. The principal who hired Gorilla Zoe should be terminated. No word yet from the Dallas ISD.

Dread, I didn’t say that I wouldn’t write a letter to my child’s ISD. I don’t live in Dallas. If something like that were to occur in our ISD, I would be camped out ready for the next public meeting. Hypocrite, hardly!

@ Fedd Up
My point is that if you feel enough outrage, (and I don’t entirely disagree in this case), you should take initiative to do something. But in typical apathetic and pathetic style, nothing. Thanks for making the world a better place.

Calling AWD a hypocrite???

You ARE reading Angry WHITE Dude…

Of course we wont write letters. We just chalk it up to TNB and move along with life.

“My letter would have no bearing.” I guess that means this post doesn’t mean anything either. You’re angry enough to express moral outrage and rake the ISD across the carpet for teaching “politically correct mishmash of anti-American crap,” but you don’t care enough to do anything about it since your kids don’t go there. Hypocrite.

“Bill Cosby–so close, and yet so far.”

Indeed, what the quote shows is that even
Cosby, help up as the paragon of righteous Black leadership, has to reach
down to this idea of “Whitey is laughing
at us!” to motivate better Black
behavior. So even he is driven by
hostility to Whites rather than nobler
goals.

I’m not surprised. See

It’s very likely a better than average
Black that you served with, both in
nature and nurture.

Dreadhead, my children do not attend the Dallas ISD and I don’t live in their district. My letter would have no bearing.

@ AWD
“Principal Benita Noiel-Ashford of Pearl C. Anderson Middle Learning Center should immediately resign or be terminated for inviting this rapper fool to speak to her kids.” Are you going to post the letter you’re writing to the school board and the principal? As I said in another thread, it’s empty rhetoric if you don’t. You can all sit back and complain and express your shock and disdain, but I question if any of you want to make it better.

Somebody has to tell these animals like it is: join the civilized world and learn how to be a responsible, educated, hard working human being or go back to living in the dirt. BTW, most of the black guys I served with in the Army would agree 100% with my statement.

LBJ’s “Great Society” experiment was a failure in every sense. Black Americans were making progress economically and socially, despite the problems with Jim Crow (which was being dismantled), right up to the time he decided to just push the money at people who wanted to fornicate without paying child support. It all went downhill from there.

And there are similar trends among whites and Hispanics too. Getting down in the dirt is an equal opportunity calling, with no racial divides that I can see.

Observer,

Of course I’m rubbing my hands together! You mean you aren’t? Man, I’m just thrilled to be a diminutive young white woman, with younger, even smaller, sisters, in an area crawling with screw-up blacks who might succumb to the urge to rape, rob, and/or kill us all at any given moment. And I’m rolling in the floor with mirth over the idea of future children, nieces, and nephews getting to live in a laugh-a-minute world with even MORE screw-up, violent blacks.

Because, uh, um…failure is hilarious, and we all know they only hurt themselves!

Bill Cosby–so close, and yet so far.

Sasha,
Bill Cosby is wrong about one thing. He says:

“The white man, he’s laughing, got
to be laughing. 50 percent drop
out, rest of them in prison. ”

Perhaps some are, but most of us, even those who are race realists, are more
inclined to cry at this situation than
to laugh at it. Does Cosby think that
the average White is rubbing his hands
with glee over the fact that Black
people are such screw ups? That’s
messed up!

No, I’m not glad about it, and wish it
weren’t so, but wishing won’t make
racial differences go away.

I think of those kids in DISD, many with little direction at home, in need of structure and discipline and education. You’d think a safe place for these kids would be school with teachers and principals who cared for and encouraged them to reach for the stars. Yeah, now there’s a fairy tale. Thanks for that link, Sasha.
