Because you're making a judgment about a culture that you know little to nothing about, let alone the fact that you are not a member of it. You admitted yourself that you are a 19 year old British citizen, so by that standard alone, you have no grounds to judge American culture in general or African American culture in particular. Since you are unaware of the history of African people and their descendants in America, you're probably unaware that white people systematically marginalized, belittled, and humiliated black people in this country through slavery and Jim Crow laws, and that said black people were often characterized as "savages" who had no redeeming value except for their labor. Even after fighting a civil war, going through the civil rights movement to guarantee rights to African Americans that were supposed to have been enforced over 100 years earlier, and electing an African American to the Presidency, we're still dealing with white people (mostly from the southern parts of USA) attempting to belittle the accomplishments of African Americans.
Because you are not from the USA, you don't have that cultural mindset which pervades race relations in this country.

Now that's just ignorance on your part. Unless you somehow managed to raise yourself after exiting your mother's womb, every person is a sum of their family and community's heritage. Just because you weren't enslaved by whites or fought against the Scots or Irish doesn't mean that you don't have that cultural history ingrained in you in some fashion. You said that you're only 19; so you probably are too young to remember when your parents had to dodge random terrorist bombimgs by the Irish Republican Army or the history behind the rise of the Irish Republican Army in the first place. Now hopefully, your culture has evolved considerably since then, but don't claim that your parents or grandparents history doesn't affect you you are today.

Everything you just said about me is EXACTLY what you have been doing.

And thanks for admitting to trolling, Makes it easier for mods to ban you.

Just for evidence.

if i was happy to be ''ignorant'' i wouldnt have said i was happy enough to sit back and read why you think these magazines are so important

the only half way decent explanation i got was explaining why it was around in the 60's
because of all the segregation and shit, but now thats not legal anymore their is no need for these magazines so my point was proved very early on

Do you feel these stations that are for a target audience shouldn't be around?Having a product ,whatever it is,for a target audience is business 101.I'm going to assume you dont think Latina magazine should be around either

i dont even read magazines and newspapers and i do not inherit the individual history of people from past as my own made story
you cant say about racism in your country untill you live in every state. inevery town. and meetr every person in the counrty so you might aswell dismiss your own
some white people hate you because of the color of your skin because they believe in stupid shit like ''protecting culture'' similar to you
they believe they can judge a person on the colour of their skin because the 'steryotypical culture' condones that they are being fair
if they tell you to go chuck a spear, according to you its not racist, its just being historically accurate seeing as what some black guy was doing in africa by his own choice a thousand years ago somehow inflicts it as your choice because you 'claim his culture'
if im wearing glasses, at least they arent blocked out completely
ass

theres no naivety, if anything me posting what i posted just pulled the blankets off of what other people think ebony jet magazine is about
one contradicting the other, its quite funny actually

Zinzi said:

Never once did I ever say that blacks should live any kind of way. In fact, I know several blacks who do everything they can to have nothing to do with black culture. Do you have a beef with Mexican people? Or Irish?

And you are a troll. Stop trying to deflect your bullshit on other people because you got called out.

Zinzi said:

Yup. You're not getting it nor paying attention to anything posted.

I feel like Barney Frank at that town hall meeting a few days ago.

Zinzi said:

''culture'' means ''a way of life'' so if yo know blacks who dont conform to such ways of life yet you still call it ''black'' culture does that mean they are any less black?
i dont have 'beef' with anyone other than twats that dont shut up about racial bullshit

if you knew fuck all about slavery youd know that blacks were selling blacks to white slavedrivers in the start
and why use the term ''white poeple'' like all of them had one?
it wasnt whites it was the goverment
no culture or history can be ingrained on someone seeings as its man made
my mom bringing me up has nothing to do with her inflicting forced cultures onto me
you yourself wear racist badges ''african ammerican''
do you call whites ''english americans''

SavonOsco said:

yeah i dont like BET either ''black entertainment television'' why should blacks be entertained by anything differently than whites?
you cant target a whole race as an audience being black isnt a state of mind
