Black Atheists Act White?

Post by Drewish » Mon Nov 07, 2011 10:01 pm

I'd really like the POV of a black person (preferably from the US) on this video:

Nobody expects me...

I'm not black, but I don't think it actually matters. I recognise this as being the same as the reverse snobbery of the peasant class. The one that states that they are they salt of the earth and that those who come from that background who put on heirs and graces, or attempt to better their situation are somehow acting like the bourgeoisie. Its a repugnant servile defeatist "know your place" attitude by which they condemn themselves and their children to sanctimonious squalour.

It's simply slander to say a black person is "acting white." Watch the movie "Drop Squad."

The Pope was today knocked down at the start of Christmas mass by a woman who hopped over the barriers. The woman was said to be, "Mentally unstable."

Which is probably why she went unnoticed among a crowd of Christians.

OH well. I was wondering how pervasive that kind of self selection group pressure is within the black community.

Depends on how much of a siege mentality any particular group has.

:{D He still said "axed" instead of asked.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

Fanny isn't black. I do miss him too though. I tried emailing him a few times, but no replies. :(
