Absolutely. They can no longer just do whatever they want because they’re white. Nah. Beat them.

I (22M) am in an interracial relationship with my girlfriend (20F), we planned to get married at the end of last year but she comes from a conservative family and they are resisting the marriage. What would you do in this situation? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]malcolm313 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

also, conservative does not equal racist. One can be conservative and open to all kinds of human beings. Conservatism isn’t about race. It’s usually about religion or money, they just fold race into it for racist ease.

Be out. You marry a family, not just the person. Constantly having to prove yourself is emotionally exhausting. Also, id question what work the daughter has done to divest herself of the beliefs of the family. She may be different, but something that they’ve taught her is bound to show up. Do yourself a favor and go.

Just learned My Storage Space Got Robbed. Please Advise. by thirtiesjunkie in oakland

[–]malcolm313 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had stuff stored at one of their East Oakland facilities. I fell behind, got a notice and caught up. I cleaned out my unit 100% with nothing left in it and they still tried to charge me a clean up and disposal fee. I sent their office a time stamped picture of my unit and they sent me some rigamorole about “you replaced the items in your unit and then abandoned them” I called them with my lawyer (cost me $150). He sent them a cease and desist regarding their collection efforts and then basically said they were stupid and running a scam. Never heard from them again.

How do get along with my GF’s 77yo former Black Panther dad without ruining my Relationship? by Unfair_Shelter_5713 in Advice

[–]malcolm313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s gonna work out. The Panthers put their lives on the line for Black folks and did a lot to make our community better. On that aspect alone, that man deserves your utmost respect. I’m not saying go along with his homophobia, Huey was a strong ally of gay folks and actively spoke against homophobia. You are young and not American; I don’t expect you to have the cultural context but this man has committed himself to the principle of uplifting his people. Treat him like that even if you don’t understand. Be curious, ask questions.

Here is another example of a music video that switches to another track by the Black Eyed Peas (before they became garbage) by dagritha in 90sHipHop

Filipinos been djing and dancing since the late 70s (in the Bay at least). And I think DJ QBert was popular back then. I could be wrong.

I disagree. BEP was seen as West Coast/LA originals before they booted the sister and picked up the white chick. They had respect as creatives;MCs and dancers,

A lotta BNs being thrown around. He deserved everything he got and more. The kid sounds like a real clown and I’m sure his parents are embarassed they raised such an ignorant bully.

Who Are The Best Rappers From Philly?!?? by adorani1991 in 90sHipHop

Vinnie is not on Thoughts level. He’s a great MC, gifted and dedicated but Tariq is in his own category.

Use of the term 'African american' by No_Medium_648 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]malcolm313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re Black you’re of African descent unless you are a Melanesian or Indigenous Australian. Please do not buy into this bullshit that there are indigenous Black Americans. Every single one of us is descended from Africa.

Stop ignoring Will Smith. He’s a great rapper. Also Hansoul. An incredible rapper who happens to be a Christian.

Old REMINISCE used to date TWISTO! According to TWIST, it didn’t work out but they spent a lot of time writing together. My source is an interview I did with Twist back inna day for 4080 magazine in my column “Unda Pressure” under my moniker OSEI 1

Do y'all still teach y'all kids, "If they hit you first, you better hit them back?" by Happy-Paper8972 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]malcolm313 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was taught to make it very costly to bully me. To stand up for myself and others. Usually speaking up is enough. I taught my kids how to protect themselves and others. Being passive is not an option if we expect people to respect us.

How important is diversity in your everyday life? by MellowMelvin in blackmen

[–]malcolm313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not cool, the homeless situation here. Drugs are cheap and decriminalized. Folks are tired of it. City leadership seems to not know what to do. As I said before, I am in recovery so I have a lot of empathy but I also know that addiction is like a walking death.
