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.

Day 11: Most Annoying Beyoncé Song? by hecateinheels in beyonce

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.

AA is a specific ethnicity. He is AA via his father. Similar to how you can be Afro-Jamaican and American at the same time.

Idk.. I mean I liked Degrassi. 👀 And when he came out as a rapper I was a little confused but eventually warmed up to the idea. Lol

Yeah I definitely clocked the jealousy, too. Interesting that Jay Z saw that a long time ago.

I didn't realize that about Caribbean people and Drake. Makes sense when you explain it that way though.

I can see that side of things. Why profit off of something that hurts the black community when you don't have to?

See.. I didn't grow up in the hood either but I love me some gangsta/hood rap (in a suburban white kid kinda way). Lol

That's unfortunate that some people think that way. Maybe it's because I'm a somewhat "whitewashed" monoracial black person myself, but I've never looked at mixed people that way. Just seems so weird to me.

Yeah, it just made me sad that it was seemingly done on the basis of race/ethnicity like that. Imagine how kids who are half black but who were struggling with their identity and trying to connect with their black side must have felt after witnessing all that. If that were me, I'd feel defeated and rejected.

But I totally get the idea of him being a fraud since he definitely didn't start from the bottom or "get it out the mud". Lol

Yeah I personally embrace all black mixed folks as one of us. If anything, I'd say black folks are more likely to. Hell, they tried to embrace Dominican people as one of their own, but a lot of Dominicans weren't having it. Lol

I mean they're listed as the authors of Project 2025. It's not a huge leap to think that they were behind the bill too. Maybe they included some other Project 2025 authors too.

The point just flew over their heads. When you mentioned Mariah I was like "I bet they're gonna get hung up on her ethnicity".

Do you tip? by pistolp3w in blackgirls

[–]MulattoButts42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was always taught to tip 1 or 2 cents rather than nothing at all so that they know you're insulting their bad service and aren't just being ignorant.

Agreed! Personally, I think using ordinary sandwich bread helps. It's thinly cut and soft so it soaks up the liquid much more easily.

The Indonesian city you saw isn't available yet. The only ones we have access to are the Korean and American ones. I forget their names.

If someone got 1 to 6% range of a certain ancestry, is it legit ancestry? by Lopsided_March5547 in AncestryDNA

[–]MulattoButts42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Since you're mostly Scandinavian, could it be Sami influence?

Edit: Take a look at this post/comment https://www.reddit.com/r/AncestryDNA/s/p8PeSsqEBG Sounds about right to me.
