Are we too quick to accept everyone into our circle?

For instance, there could be a girl who is clearly white, Blond hair, blue eyes, who may speak a little "ghetto" and mention that she had a 1/4th Black great great great grandfather, and we're like "oh she's Black. :justabit: she's definitely one of us. :justabit: welcome! :cheerup: "

Bill Clinton got his dick sucked and we claimed him.  :plzstop: "Oh he's Black. Bill definitely got some Black in him."

You have to go thru hoops hurdles and mess to get a pass in any other community. Are we too willing and ready to claim everyone? Does this dumb down the social value of our community?

Maybe it's just me but I always thought your origins have to be of that community to be accepted. Just because I like Taco Bell, I wouldnt expect the latino community to send an invitation. I always thought that was foolish.

I agree.

Other races of people will ask you for receipts, especially if you do not fully look like one of them. Prove that you're one of us, or partially one of us.  :receipts:

But I've noticed we tend to take everyone in. And I'm not gonna act like I've never done it. :plzstop: :plzstop:

Is that so bad though
Yes, only because I believe it speaks to the levels of Black Pride.

You won't see white people claiming everyone and anyone, because they have great pride in their race. Same with Koreans. Chinese people...And with a greater sense of pride comes a greater sense of responsibility to your race to build it and make sure it succeeds. Keeping money circulating in the community, and not handing it to anyone and everyone just because they're marketing it to you. Which in turn creates more jobs for your own people, etc. Seems small but it's really not.

That is just my opinion though.

I agree with keeping money circulating in black communities, creating opportunities for one another, etc.
I would also like it to be the NORM to see a black doctor vs. (white, asian, etc). We all have HEALTHCARE in common, and perception of the black race can be influenced in that particular area, worldwide.

Hey bvy. :wub: I see where you are coming from.

But I don't think perception is anywhere nearly as important as productivity within the community. I guarantee you that Koreans couldn't care less about what Black people think of them. Or what any other race thinks of them. they're too busy working, building and setting up SHOP in our communities so they can take our coins. Our perception is of little importance to them, but our coin is very much a factor in their day-to-day operations. So we should feel the same way. Fuck what people think of us.

I totally agree.
But in all honesty? I think some black people have their own perceptions of themselves and what they are truly capable of. Self-perception and potential is KEY to making change within yourself and then the community. No one will make a change until they believe they can.

And I may not be using the accurate terms or making sense.
But I'm so tired of the likes of Kanye (complaining about 53million in debt over rags/clothes) when his family comes from education.
Try being in debt for providing educational services and resources for the black community. Encourage black youth to BAND together and build communities that may be flawed/broken.

I saw the comment you made about a Black person not feeling comfortable with a Black doctor and preferring a white one.  :plzstop:

Even though I personally don't feel that way....if a Black doctor has that license and degree they're just as good in my eyes as any other doctor. But I'll still address it...

This all goes back to us not being used to seeing one another in positions of power, and being so used to giving every other race our money and receiving services from every other race but ourselves. Which then cycles right on back to promoting Pride and more exclusivity within our own race.

Yeah were alwaysetting ppul in our circle and they never reLly are loyal to us when it goes down

(Small scLe example) chris whatBoutus on here

Hes always like oh im black
I was raised
Black ect

He was up hilarys ass and waNting mcain to win

But his proof that he was down with blacks wS his short list of entertainers he likes including brandy or his self hating racist friend jay on here

So we can give u good music and tv but  u cling to old white traditions when it cones to politics

So sme thing essentially some southern whites are naturLly soulfull
And its hard not to embrace thrm somehow cause its just how they are
But the oh i get black cock im black and i listen to rap im black and i have black frinds so im blk kinda whites are a no go

I know you saw the comment, and would understand it, but TEXT can be horribly dry.
And YES I agree with your opinion on "positions" and being "used to". Which is why I believe in black communities promoting pride and creating opportunities for one another.

And I'm sorry, I just want to see more black doctors. I want little children (of all races) to see more black doctors. I don't want it to be a rarity to see a young black man or woman perched in those positions. It has to start with "oh, I can do that too". No different than Brandy seeing a woman who looked like her, "Whitney" and believing she could do it too...

And being in those positions can help bring in other black individuals.
No different than Whitney handing Brandy an iconic role as Cinderella, bringing her on for DIVAs, etc. Paying it forward. That's what the black community needs.

Perception is not everything. But altering NORMality can be beneficial.
