Are African Americans doomed?

As a cultural term? And then you wonder why there are people who don't consider Obama black...

The real question is not when will the US have a black president but when it will have a Geek for president.


We are the ultimate oppressed minority!

Oh dear. It's hard to explain to you. You would have to spend sometime over here in this country, and around black people here.

When black people trust you it means that they consider you one of them.

Don't listen to him Hera. There's still a difference between "being trusted by blacks" and "being black."

Seriously Kid, I dare you to go up to your black "friends" and ask them if they consider your lily-white ass "black," as opposed to just being an unusually "real" white guy. If they call you black I'll kiss your bare ass on main street at noon.

I think it would be a bad thing for any race to be associated with Kidicious. Kid, your views are bizarre and, for the most part, extremely retarded.

When they talk in reference to me they do so as if I'm black. The've specifically excluded me from white people.

Kid was a tabula rasa before he went through your educational system.

Every age has people like him, in the middle ages they were praising inquisition.

Yes, they are bizarre for a place like this where most people are nerdy white males. If you heard some of the beliefs that my black friends had you wouldn't think my beliefs were that bizarre. Although they consider me one of them, I'll still never actually be black, as I was raised by white people and I have different experiences.

What the hell does "as if I'm black" even mean? Slang, intonation, and other speech patterns only indicate their trust and acceptance of you, not necessarily that you're "considered black." Similarly, "excluding from white people" does not automatically imply "considering black"; it makes more sense to suppose you're considered an exceptionally "real" white person, or perhaps in some sort of interstitial limbo. Again, I'll kiss your bare ass if you can get any black acquaintance to say aloud that he/she considers you "black." Hell, I'll give you a gobknobble the day you get that aloud on tape.

Even something less strong like "one of us" would be pretty surprising, but at least believable, since "us" would likely mean the multi-racial category stomped on by "the man" moreso than "blacks."

I don't for a second believe you have any friends, no less black friends.

Black people (cultural) believe that society is divided into blacks and whites. That's probably hard for a person like you to understand because many white people don't see society like that. I'm saying that black people see me as a black person in this way, not that my skin is actually black.

Actually I'm picturing something more like "gimme a pound dawg" than high-fives. High-fives are so white...
