So you seem t think you have a pretty good handle on this black thing.
If it were possible, as an experiment, would you change races and become a black person in the US for maybe 6 months or a year?
Simple yes or no. No need for a dissertation yet.
I sure as hell wouldn’t.

I totally would.
I would also spend 6 months being gay and/or a woman.
In which case I would get a Subaru and hit on Beth.

You can do the gay/woman/Beth thing tomorrow if you wanted to.
I wouldn’t do the Subaru thing though. That might not be reversible.

Well, I’m about to go to bed, but the basics of it is a much lower median IQ and an insanely high crime-rate, mostly committed against other blacks. Hell, the leading case of death for black guys in my age group is being executed by another black guy in my age group, Zimmerman style.
No thanks.

That may be where the mental disconnect for you lies.
I don’t care if you are racist or not. I am only responding to what you write here.

First, your question begs the further investigation of what the WHITE community is doing and it’s “sense of community”. [/quote]
No it doesn’t, but if you want to know, the white community is in a slow and steady process of utterly demolishing it’s own identity. [/quote]
So, in your mind there is a “white community” and a “black community”.
Ok.
[quote]
[quote]
You are literally speaking as if all blacks are one entity. [/quote]
Hey, you brought up the term “black community”, not me. Just the opposite, I said there was no “black community”. My view of blacks is way more individualist than yours =) [/quote]
No, you stated there used to be a “black community” and then went off talking about people being babied as a whole group…which again means you see blacks as one entity.
[quote]
[quote]
My sense of community is just fine. [/quote]
Yeah, the black sense of community is real swell. Hey, did you know that blacks perpetrate about 50% of homicides in the US? Hey, did you know that blacks make up about 49% of murder victims in the US? Hey, did you know that 93% of those murder victims overlap with the previously mentioned ~50%? [/quote]
Uh, I said MY SENSE OF COMMUNITY IS JUST FINE…and then you go on to tell me what “black sense of community” is.
Wow…you don’t think I know what my own sense of community is?
Don’t you think it is a little racist to think you know how I think better than I do?
[quote]
Your community members can’t go one day without pumping at least 20 other of your community members full of lead (to death. The non-lethal numbers are a fuck of a lot higher).
Some community. [/quote]
My community is largely mixed as far as race. What are you talking about?
[quote]
[quote]
I have not been “babied” by anyone. [/quote]
I don’t care about your personal story, but lets not pretend shit like affirmative action/welfare/food stamps doesn’t exist. [/quote]
What does that have to do with black people only?
[quote]
[quote]
Further, how would you know anything about what most blacks believe or think of their communities?[/quote]
Or in other words, “Standpoint theory is valid when it makes the claims I like unfalsifiable, but invalid when it makes the claims I dislike unfalsifiable.”
All right, I’ll play. Really, what you’re asking is an empirical question that can be answered by observing black behaviours.
For starters, 95% of you people vote democrat, and vote in record numbers when the democratic candidate is part black and identifies as black. [/quote]
Who are “my people”?
Who are “your people”?
You are here telling me who I am and what I bvelieve and how I think…despute me telling you otherwise.
That self important view where you see yourself as superior enough to tell how I think is where racism lies.
[quote]
Also, 83% of blacks identify as Christian.
Clearly there’s an enormous amount of conformity in the negro zeitgeist.
So, there’s beliefs covered. As for what they think of their communities, I could write a book outlining how blacks contribute to the tragedy of the commons more than any other group. I mean, if there is a black sense of community, it’s either entrenched in apathy or drowning in intra-hostility. [/quote]
Or, you see people as colors when it is about environment and socio-economic status.
You aren’t speaking to someone uneducated…so again, how would you know my sense of community?
And why do you see all blacks as one entity?

Is it a ‘Shaggy Dog’ sort of transformation where I gradually become black in place? Or are you proposing more of a Kafka-esque transformation where I wake up, possibly somewhere else, in a body that’s not mine and no one recognizes? Do I get to choose the black person I become?
If it’s the Kafka-esque transformation, I don’t think race would matter.
Well, you’re obviously not a debater, X. Frankly, it’s not worth my time to fuck around the the quote function just to respond to you, so I’m going to respond here, point by point.
Your first sentence doesn’t make sense. Moving on, it’s not about whether or not you care that I’m racist, what I’m saying is you’re going to find yourself without an adequate means of discerning gradation in how offensive my comments are if you jump right to “racism”.
Ok.
You wrote the OP. You introduced the term “black community” in this thread. I think there’s a black population, but to call them a “community” is a stretch. Really, it all depends on what standards you have when defining a “community”.
Your sense? I already told you I don’t care about you. You’re not representative of blacks in general. I don’t know what you think. I don’t care what you think.
Non sequitur. Clearly I’m talking about blacks in general, not your literal neighbours.
Blacks blacks are the most over-represented group taking advantage of these things.
I’m talking about blacks and whites. I’m not telling you how you think, I’m telling you how most blacks think. Maybe you happen to be a christian who voted for Obama, in fact it’s tremendously likely, but this about you. I don’t care about you.
Also, maybe you haven’t clued in yet, but I’m not bothered by being labelled a racist. Hell, what you consider racism, I look at as being cute.
Don’t be a dildo. Blacks aren’t all carbon-copies, but “averages” are a thing, if you didn’t know.
Does anyone else think that blackpeoplemeet.com is exclusionary and racist.
That being said being racist is so out of fashion.

This thread was moved from the Get a Life forum and was written in RESPONSE to the multiple threads that were made in that forum against black people. Those threads set the language I was responding to.
Once again, no substance yet.

Then how can you claim how black people think if you pick and choose which ones you use as representatives?
[quote]
Doesn’t matter. If “my community” is largely hispanic and black, can I claim both?
[quote]
You seem to be focusing on color again and nothing else.
Do you think being black makes them do this?
[quote]
How the hell do you know how most black people think?
You right here just wrote you pick and choose which ones you listen to.
How the fuck does that make sense to you?

I am betting you thought this was shocking?
I don’t care if you are racist. I am just pointing out the ignorance involved.
I know my IQ…and you apparently would underestimate it if you really walk around thinking like this with the black people you meet in person.
Also, when was the last time a mass IQ test was conducted on the entire population?
