Studlystuf: i think at this point its their sport
Studlystuf: and we're just trying to get involved
fellas, i thought id take the opportunity to run with the topic for one second, rather than start another post. shifta, what would happen if "we" tried to organize a WHITE IMAGE AWARDS to counter the black image awards hosted recently? i mean this would take us back to 1960s-level riots, am i wrong? how long should america allow the blatant isolationism and racism of such things as black entertainment television (which i watch), the NAACP, and the black image awards? i guess the naacp is okay b/c it is just fighting for the rights of its people, but come on. white entertainment television? white image awards?
hypocrisy is more rampant among the black community than the southern baptist convention. and for the sake of full disclosure, i love black people (and think they influence pop culture more than any other "group"), and i was raised in a southern baptist church. doesnt mean i have to agree with everything they do or say.
I think I'm okay with the whole thing --- self-segregation. If that's how "they" want it, I think I'll let it slide. I'm not sure why black leaders in the past tried so hard to integrate the races -- it apparently isn't the direction they wanted to go.
After all, they need a place to all get together, be loud and obnoxious, make fun of white people, and shoot at each other over lyrics and what not. Typically, white folk don't want to be involved in those activities.
P.S. I'm not sure -- but White Hisotry Month may be the appropriate time (if there is one at all) to bring up the modern-day slave trade known as professional sports. I've submitted this theory in the past and it gets shot down by the "we pay them millions of dollars" rebuttal. But I'm not buyin' it. They still "own" people, mostly minorities being purchased by old white dudes. How is this being overlooked? I think everyone needs to pick a side right now. Either be outraged or entertained by it. I think you know where Shifta stands.
