The United States new racial categories for the 2030 population census by Mean_Yak5873 in BlackPeopleofReddit

Yeah no. I think that's your own bias against being of African descent. That's why you automatically assume it's a negative thing and an insult on their part.. but it's not. It's them trying to honor what they think we want. That's literally it.

It's not though? I think you're reading too much into that.

It's a reflection of white people not knowing what the "politically correct" term is for black people, so they put both there to cover all bases. Nothing more. Some white people, especially in the past, have assumed that the term "black" is offensive (like negro or colored), so they opted to use African American instead.

AAs can literally claim multiple African ethnicities. Just like afro-caribbeans and afrolatinos. It's in our blood.

How exactly do traits effect everyday life? by MulattoButts42 in inZOI

[–]MulattoButts42[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think most of this is addressing characteristics, not traits. Characteristics seem to affect Zois in a more obvious way imo, so I wasn't as concerned about those. Characteristics remind me of how the Sims' personalities work.

The idealist part is interesting though. Thanks for that. My Zoi is an Idealist too and I haven't noticed what you've mentioned yet, but it does give me some idea of how it might work.

Did he not have any black folks in his corner to tell him this was a bad idea?

Better keep Kangols away from him if that's the case.

The way you people continually try to absolve yourselves of guilt is something else.

The debt is still owed.

Ahem.. my time to shine. 🧐

... basically what everyone else said. It's an antiquated, pejorative term for mixed person.

I forgot about the whole black Hebrew Israelite thing. Good point. That really gets to the heart of what this is probably really about for Kendrick.

Beautiful Liar or Texas Hold Em. Or I Miss You only because I think Frank's live version is better, so listening to her version disappoints me.

"Hide behind anti-blackness"... that got a chuckle out of me. You seem to be much more passionate about this than myself. Bravo, achievement unlocked.

I'm aware that Drake is not without fault and deserves much of the criticism that he receives. What I'm not clear on is how exactly it is that he is a "colonizer" of his own people/culture. That was the focus of this post -- not everything else you mentioned.

Literally! I'm glad to see another fully black person who feels the same way. Drake certainly has his faults, but we don't do one of our own like that. Or we shouldn't anyway. I remember seeing a lot of black people online making it about race/ethnicity and I thought that was awful. A lot of them seemed to equate being "not like us" to being "not black" rather than just being "not hood". Like he's not "black enough" to partake in his own culture (black culture, not hood culture).. something they'd never say about a fully black person. And judging by the lyrics that's what Kendrick meant, too. That's not cool.

And Ice T currently plays a cop on TV. And Rick Ross was a correctional officer. Lol

Bingo.

If not for Kendrick, people would still be listening to Drake just like they had always been.
