Why not:

We have a knack for invention -- be it technological, medical or etymological?

We're an intelligent people, with representatives as varied as Chuck D, Cornel West, Marcus Garvey, Randall Robinson, Nikki Giovanni, Angela Davis, and so on?

We're one of the most resilient cultures in world history -- who else could survive tribal treachery, the middle passage, slavery, lynchings, the Klan, Jim Crow, the Reagan administrations, UPN & the WB?

We're talented enough to be regarded as innovators in every artistic field -- be it music, film, painting, dance, literature, etc.?

We're wonderful organizers of civil resistance in exploiting an Underground Railroad, in writing Negro spirituals that were often escape plans in disguise, in organizing nonviolent marches and boycotts, and in forming our own businesses and successful political campaigns?

Or better yet, why not just change this thread's title and contents to "FOLKS (and why I love us)?"

It's not black (aside from the Jheri curl, LOL) -- it's universal.

Also universal are self-hating, stereotypical jokes that groups perpetuate about themselves over time.


and every family has a ThreadBare!

The Right to have our hair and nails professionally
done comes way ahead of the rights of bill collectors.

Just one microfiliment of hair in ANYBODY'S food
in the restaurant makes us ALL want our money back!!!
plus a fresh meal TO GO.

Most of us are bi-lingual. We speak English and Anglesh.
"Ain't it da truf?" translated...Isn't it true?
"they ain't got hyea yet?"...Has everyone arrived?
"Can I put this off over in there?"...May I put this here?
"Whachu laffinbout?"...Why are you laughing?

Okay, this thread is getting out of control... I just deleted a bunch of racist comments/flames. So... consider it locked.

Update: I've decided to reopen this thread. Some members have complained about the thread being locked while the "white" and "gay" threads remain open.

For the record, this thread was originally locked because of racist comments (which I've deleted), which prompted people to flame. So far, that doesn't seem to be a problem in the white and gay threads. But I recognize that some people may feel it's unfair for us to lock this one thread while leaving two related threads open.

So, as I said, I'm reopening this one. But here's the deal: if people start flaming or posting racist garbage again, then all three threads are getting locked/deleted. Sound fair?

Carry on... smile

Sorry for blowing my own horn here, but I just thought I'd note that this is the first time I've reopened a thread after reconsidering a previous decision to lock it.

See, I can be a reasonable person sometimes. biggrin
