(Surely you do for you are a master of it).<br /><br />It does not make direct judgment as to this type of public display on the stereotypes of BLACK PEOPLE - it instead deflects to the most favored subject of Black Progressives like yourself: WHITE FOLKS who are in the mud with you.<br /><br />It is not a BLACK COMMUNITY GROWTH initiative. <br />Instead it is a NEGRO PACIFICATION scheme.Constructive Feedbackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13417405356099504421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-6459344765472746882012-04-26T20:56:47.342-05:002012-04-26T20:56:47.342-05:00CNu,

Again, what are you afraid of? Herskovits i...@Anon. Again, what are you afraid of? Herskovits is definitely in play here--are these legitimate "black cultural" archetypes or something else? The folks of NO would definitely argue that it is.<br /><br />As you know, I take on blackness and whiteness. Blackness just isn't beautiful. It can also be ugly too. It is no less rich because of it. We are humans; as such we display a range of human behavior. Just like any other peoples.<br /><br />Are there Africanisms at work here?

I take my business too seriously to do that.<br /><br />"But at some point don't your tire of this cultural referee driven posturing?"<br /><br />I am Unicron and Galactus. My hunger never ceases!

Your question is clearly irrevelant.<br /><br />What drives this recurrent theme of yours to always seek some type of esoteric agenda and cultural reference with whites and others to contrast for the things Black folks do?<br /><br />Are we always in play and under some racial and cultural litmus test for intellectuals like you?<br /><br />What drives this cultural insecurity of yours? What is your underlying angst about Black folks and our ethos in the public? Once again the specter of low expectation has entered your posturing with regard to Black behavior. Why?<br /><br />Why can't the interpetations of Mr.Ghetto & Company just be one take on this saga and not an indictment of the totality of Blackness?<br /><br />Stop being reactionary and embrassed by the nature of Blackness it can of course handle your unwarranted parochial analysis such is the nature of genius of Blackness..<br /><br />But at some point don't your tire of this cultural referee driven posturing?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-43499682153322913442012-04-25T22:03:08.579-05:002012-04-25T22:03:08.579-05:00I'm just wondering.

How long does fad have to last before it becomes part of the culture?<br /><br />My gut feeling says that unless it's passed down from generation to generation it isn't culture. It's only an expression of the current new generation. Each generation seeks to distinguish itself from the last by it's expressions.<br /><br />But usually they don't become a part of their culture.sledgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16561832954749256080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-7941110221653895362012-04-25T19:26:57.322-05:002012-04-25T19:26:57.322-05:00is it is, or is it ain't jes grew?is it is, or is it ain't<a href="http://townhall.tripod.com/JesGrew/jesgrew.html" rel="nofollow"> jes grew</a>?CNuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14152640304402402884noreply@blogger.com
