You guys are so dead-on with the comments made about oreos livejournal, especially sswhite. That shit was ridiculous. I was reviewing oreos livejournal to see the kind of people they call "oreos"- and I agree with you that they are not special because they have "diverse" interests. They are isolated because they choose to isolate themselves, they say things like "I don't listen to rap music" in a condescending manner, and they call other black folks "thugs". I also found it amusing that one member said that "she's happy that she's lightskinned, and that she looks like she's mixed with Indian or Mexican so that she wouldn't be confused with them". What a dumbass, others (non-blacks) will see you as black regardless of how "light" you think you are. Then I didn't like the concept behind "sswhite". How are our women actively looking for white men? I mean, if you're saying you're an equal opportunity dater, fine. If you're saying that you happened to end up with a white man and it had more to do with common interests, then that's fine as well. But when you look for white men to the exclusion of black men, then that does bother me that you think you're too good for black men. Do you find your own father to be a failure? Do you find your brother to be a failure? Do you find your son (despite who you choose to procreate with, the child will still be considered black) to be a failure? I just don't like when girls that like to call themselves black treat white men as gods (most of these men are overrated simply because they have white privilege) but they won't even recognize the African royalty among their own. And they can't even use "no-good black men" as an excuse as if all black men are that way (again I use the father-son-brother example here) and not think that white men would treat them the same way that they were treated before if not worse. If they really believe that white men would treat them any better, or if white men are the "cream of the crop" they need to open up a real history book or attend at least one Africana Studies lecture to reconsider

| Do We Black Have Our Own Culture? |
[17 Aug 2006|08:04pm] |
I was in another community, and my sis and I really started talking with other people about whether or not Black Americans have their own culture.
Now, maybe I'm retarded, maybe I've been raised in my own mind for the past 21 years, but I could have sworn that black people had their own viable culture in the way that we live our lives. It's not like we're not American, but isn't our culture a subset, like Sicilian American or Irish American?
Maybe I'm crazy, but after all these years, there's no such thing as Black/African Amercan culture?
Someone please help me if I'm wrong. Or validate me if I'm right!

I'm not asking for everyone to go over to the other community, I seriously want to know if I've been wrong in my assumptions, because I want to know.

This was a response for SONY pulling down those racist adds:
REZ- I am so sick and tired of white people feeling like they are walking on egg shells and black people taking advantage of that fact. I am sick and tired of white people feeling like they have to apologize for something their great grandparents did. I am so sick and tired of black people expecting some sort of handicap in life. I am sick and tired of the double standard in America. How is the Ku Klux Klan any different than the Crips and the Bloods? At least the KKK isn't out there killing each other. Who's fault is it for the education gap between whites and blacks? Can we still blame the "racist education system"? Anyone in High school can agree that if you aren't getting an education it's your own damn fault. I am mixed, my father is black and my mother is white. Should I use that fact to justfiy my opinion? Hell yes I should! If you want to get angry over something get angry over the fact that capitalist America needs poverty to survive. Black people blame society for keeping them in poverty because of racism, when it's all about the color of money, not the color of their skin. Honestly, when everyone over the age of 50 dies, the world will be a better place.
All I can say is, WTF?????

A black person calling another black a nigger means they are calling themselves niggers. If you want to be called a nigger, or even call yourself that, I don't believe you will evolve anytime soon.
If you don't understand that, then it's because you choose not to. Keep laughing at the watermelon and coon jokes if you don't know what I'm referring to.

Here are some questions for you guys: Do you love yourselves enough not to let others define you? Do you know or even care where you ancestors came from? Do you trust any non-blacks? They are sincere questions. I am mixed: Arab, Black and White, half white, equally Arab(Egyptian) and Black(Eritrean).It is impossible for me to date someone of my race really.I haven't taken AP classes, I was home schooled for a part of my high school career What I find interesting is how shallow people can be: Black, White, Arab, whoever. Both Black and White girls, even a few East Indian girls I know tell me I should straighten my hair. I don't want to spend tons of money on damaging my hair to look whiter, I know it would be ridiculous.The African gene was dominate in my appearance.I don't think anyone should straighten their hair, as a matter of fact. What amuses me is when people I've never seen before think they have the right to know my ethnicity, nationality, race or whatever.If I ignore don't answer, or make a smartass reply, it's probably because of the way the question was posed. That kind of behavior is just rude and ignorant. Why did I choose to join oreos, instead of your community? Because they are more diverse, they aren't all about hate, and they offer a listening ear, and freedom of expression.The name is a joke, for most of the members.I mean, there is an oreo barbie, how can anyone be proud of that?! I don't identify as one race, because I choose to identify as a person. A black person calling another black a nigger means they are calling themselves niggers. If you want to be called a nigger, or even call yourself that, I don't believe you will evolve anytime soon. It's not that all of you are un-evolved, you may just be frustrated. But how can I, a compassionate person and independent thinker, (or anybody who does not fit your mold) work with you, or even be around you, if you are so intolerant?

From the girl who thinks being mulatto is Japanese, Black and White:
http://community.livejournal.com/interracial/589476.html?thread=9224868#t9224868
Apparently all black people listen to the same music and blackfolk is using some form of segregation for not allowing stupid white people into the community. SMH.
This type of isshhh just ruffles my feathers. Its like she states "I'm mulatto" so I don't listen to the music that "other" black people listen to. That is just LAME!

Im glad I found a group that kinda tells ppl to shut the fu** up. Im tired of people unsatisfied with the truth adding shit to wut they are. "I got some Indian in my family"...shut the fluck up...ur black. All this shit has to do with the perception of beauty(more like booty) in todays society.

I have found out that I was banned from the oreo community. I really don't have the slightest idea, but it doesn't matter because I personally find oreos to be a bunch of oversenstive moody assholes who are hellbent on correcting a "nigga's engrish."
Fuck being a oreo because I am not preoccupied with being confused.

It's kind of silly to create a whole community based on downing another one. I think a lot of people have the wrong idea about the oreos community anyways. The people there don't hate black people or being black and I don't believe we're trying to be white. I don't see why all the communities of this sort can't just join together. I mean, we're all basically just talking about the same things.
