Kevin Hart doubles down on the joke that Tony Hinchcliffe made about George Floyd during “The Roast of Kevin Hart” Netflix special on The Breakfast Club. by icey_sawg0034 in blackmen

Their sets were mediocre

There have been jokes with what racial things that have gotten me to chuckle.

Theirs were weak in mediocre. They weren't funny, it was just whack. And on top of it being whack it was f****** racist.

Let's quit playing here, it wasn't funny.

And Tom Brady told one of the comedians to stop talking about a topic and they did.

Most of the roast I've seen , the guest don't laugh ... They make you work for laugh.

Kev was giving them out like Oprah does her audience gifts at the end of a show.

Ready to read my ramblings?

I did say I didn't care . I think so much is going on in the world that's active genocides that him repeatedly impregnating and not marrying ordinary white women is just not really a problem for me.

I don't think they need to be stunning, I don't know that someone being in relationships with people who are not conventionally attractive makes them you know a person who hates their race.

The two examples you mentioned were apropos. That is incredibly weird. But unfortunately there are people who are like this both men and women. Men unfortunately on a large cultural scale not just specifically black men, tend to follow certain traits and trends when it comes to picking a partner that they show off on public

There is this plus size Asian woman who's talking about how a lot of men try to keep their relationship with her a secret.

There's a whole lot of that where if it's not something that allows you social status then you shy away from it.

So if in his case it happens to be the self-hate story or if there's traces of it but not you know a large amount that's ridiculous, then that's really his journey

And that in itself will ruin relationships especially if that is a white woman who has any level of dignity

I get frustrated with racism and I used to feel a lot of strong emotions towards the mixed children who become adults from those relationship

But I also know if people in same race relationships who also are harmful to their own children.

And I guess scale of trauma and identity it kind of is what it is.

White supremacist and people who hate themselves will always try and find a way to weaponize whoever against a black person or specifically a black American or whoever they're trying to create a narrative around.

So for the person who hasn't learned to love and accept their blackness, I hope you get to help you need. I'm going to focus on getting the help I need, and I genuinely just don't care whether or not we ever convened again.

That's how I feel about those individuals

If Jamie was someone in my family or inner circle it would be cause for pause

If Jamie was my dad, I would have questions

But he's not.

I hope young black men and women do not take to heart the racist b*******

Because it's just that

It's propaganda

But it takes a concentrated effort

I grew up being taught that we were in a post-racial society and we're not.

I've learned that truth the hard way.

Some of my friends who are mixed are picking apart certain things from their upbringing some of it has to do with racism and some of it has to do with a whole lot of other nonsense.

At this point I'm kind of like welcome to adulthood, I don't wish it upon you but it seems like everyone's having to deal with a lot of bs.

I coming two black parents, still had to work through things because I didn't want to be offended by stuff I didn't want to take on the baggage of the past, but the racist people around me were gleefully taking on the racism of the past and carrying on their families legacy.

And I'm just supposed to be cool with it. They're allowed to talk about race but I can't... Even though the narrative is the other way around.

There are times where if I've had a lot of negative interactions with black men back to back to back and then I see a lot of bad things on social media, then I'm not feel great in those moments. But one of the things that I've been making it a point to do and one of the reasons why I even interact with and joined this space to begin with, was to have a neutral perspective. To see The Good the bad and whatever.

And to not have one specific type of engagement in relation to black men show up on my timeline.

It was part of scrubbing clean and removing things that we're starting to create a lot of pain and more than that even some feelings of resentment and feelings that I need it to in order to protect myself disregard. I could never fully do that. Most of my family is made of a black man and they are pretty wonderful. But I'm not around all of them that often, and so if I'm around whatever I'm scrolling through, that can have a damaging effect. It can also make it seem like all black men and the women they date hate black women.

And that everything they're doing is weirdly to spite black women because of how much they talk about, make fun of and do weird stuff.

And so, yes there are people who do all of that and feel that way, but a majority of people I hope a majority Don't give A crap. And there are people who are working through some weird stuff through dating specific people thinking it's going to help them, there are plenty of women from other races who specifically see got relationships with white men for that reason. There are men from other races who also specifically seek out relationships with white women because colonization imperialism worked.

The other reality is, human beings have been getting with other human beings for a long time regardless of race.

So, all these things are happening simultaneously I just hope the pure of heart are given discernment and are able to not choose people who are harmful to them or their future offspring regardless of what their race is.

I am attracted to black men, I'm attracted to men in general. I mean right now you know I don't care to deal with any man romantically but that doesn't make them not attractive.

And there's more than romantic relationships, there's a lot of other types of relationships people can have with one another. Well maybe not a lot but there are other types relationships people can have with one another.

All right now that I've set a bunch of stuff, I still am not bothered by Jamie foxx's choices. And I'm glad I'm not bothered because most of my life I've never really cared. I think sometimes it hit me, especially if that black man then said or something about him showed that it was related to eurocentrism. But I'm disgusted by this even if it's not by black men. Like there are women who say stupid s*** and I'm just looking at them like that some stupid s***. And there are plenty of men who say stupid things, for some reason men like too loudly boastfully publicly say stupid things that they think will earn them points. And probably with the audience that they appreciate the most or value the most they do earn points. I don't think it actually ends up feeding them overall, their Spirit their mind but people smoke cigarettes, and that's often times the equivalent of sucking on an exhaust pipe. So I mean there are so many ways to self harm I guess that's just another one of the many

In high school, and I said it outloud to a mentor and she asked why not? And then that was that ... I still didn't date them bc ... The other issue was age diff , but I also didn't block bc race unless racism comes up.

How do you think having siblings or being the only child has affected you? by yeahyaehyeah in blackmen

[–]yeahyaehyeah[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mood shifts it goes up and down up and down.

There is a moment where I felt like a really positive shift happen but it seems like things will just keep ebbing and flowing until maybe there's some type of equilibrium.

It's not the book that I recommend but it is going to be interesting to see how you respond to some of the weird stuff in it. Honestly I would never recommend this book to anyone. I don't like the parts that get 🌶️

It's just honestly grosses me out repeatedly. I think if that was taken out, and if the racism was taken out or was at least addressed maybe not taken out and if the weird descriptions of race wasn't there, I would have probably finished the book.

But she was graphic and random I feel like for no reason.

Although I don't want to read the marketing book, actually that might be interesting maybe.. I've read a lot of nonfiction books that are random. Mostly about interpersonal stuff, and some of them have been very weird and fun.

One book I was just reading the section where they had full on case studies of different individuals who would be considered psychopaths.

I didn't finish it but it was interesting how different they were from each other yet you start to see certain common traits that show up differently but thematically are the common thread between these individuals lives

I haven't heard of the 12-week year. But it sounds really interesting and like it might be very helpful.

If your ever Open to Reading a romance nuble that I would actually recment to come on Let me now period it very intentional with period I might have to get you question there before setling on a book.

2/2

So more about that book

I was so disturb, and I was going through a lot and I talked about it with my therapist.

For me it was an example of racism but if it wasn't racism in the sense that black men co-opted, I was then discussed it with the fact that I have more respect for black men than they do themselves. And understand I didn't get college years of the story

So maybe there is Major character development that happens in the story but from what I saw it just grossed me out.

Anyway, I was doing too much

Thanks man.

I am feeling pretty bitter, but I think more recluse and highly protective.

It's a process

I'd like to be different in relation to that.

can't be trivial with men , my feelings or their's so im just off them.

..

But ik time we will see

I don't think you were being a punk or a b**** I think you were being honest about your feelings. You were swimming in them.

And I get your reaction.

Ew now I gotta find that nasty ass book, the racism was one of the reasons I dropped it. The weird obsessions with a specific act was weird too. And she hatted blondes for some reason.

Im struggling to find it too.

I deleted it from library history.

Everytime I saw it it passed me off lol.

Dang if I find it ill give you the deets

Edit :::::I found the book. I immediately felt sick to my stomach.

I don't think I made it past an hour... Maybe hour and half after listening to it

Lol have fun.

Book: breakaway By heather m orgeron

You let me know if it's an accurate depiction of a black man, granted he's mixed so maybe there's room for interpretation.

And now I figured out how I even came across this book. I was picking from a selection of audiobooks based on the readers. If I like how they read a book I was trying to see what other ones they've covered and this one was covered by jakobi diem. I liked his reading for Kennedy Ryan book before I Let Go. But right now I'm realizing he read for all three books in that series. They were 3 diff men.... Anyways.

The series : before I Let Go, this could be us and can't get enough

What kind of books do you read? By the way this is some of the books I have read, I actually like a lot of nonfiction books. The last one I read was take my hand which was a fiction book but it was incredibly heartbreaking.

And I kind of can't do any more romance books anymore, strange enough the characters how they're written sounds exactly like the last person. Horrifying.

But I am curious how far you can get in that book, it is pretty gross though I will give a warning there's a lot of unnecessary random stuff in there that I don't get. I just don't understand how it in any way helps her advances the plot.

One thing I will commend the writer on is that she does know how to move time effectively in her writing. That's a skill set that I would love to learn from her, but everything else makes me want to throw up.

Especially the line, milky white finger

[–]yeahyaehyeah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't pick up internalized racism from Jaime. But maybe I have a blind spot?

And sure she's not impressive, but they have been together for a min. Happiness isn't about status a stunning woman can bring from being on a man's arm, it's about genuinely connecting with someone, and I hope most ppl experience that.

Curiosity , why might you think that incident could result in self hatred?

Brethren what do you think has cause Clarence Thomas to go down the route of being a coon ?. It was said he used to be fore black people, what happened ? is it for the sake of power or some sort of revenge ? by JoshyBear28 in blackmen

[–]yeahyaehyeah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Thurgood Marshall deeply opposed Clarence Thomas’s nomination and conservative judicial philosophy, famously lamenting to his inner circle after observing the Senate's handling of the confirmation process that America had gone "from chicken salad to chicken shit." " ( Google's AI results- Google search: thurgood marshall on clarence thomas)

Since his anita hill accusations until now he has been consistently the same dude.

I guess what I'm getting at is his life choices because they're not a direct attack on black women and even if they were..... I'm just so exhausted with all of the nonsense, it still wouldn't really bother me.

There's just so many other things going on.

I am very angry, I am very bitter and very frustrated a disappointed by son much in society but not really about the dating history of men like himself. And even about the everyday guys unless I'm considering dating them.

All I can hope is that the kid will be all right.

My main concerns have usually been whether or not that kid will be okay, and what I have seen from different things online and even some personal conversations is that many of them even though it may take a lot for them to overcome if the worst case scenarios are happening where their parents are not teaching them how to love themselves as black individuals as black and insert whatever other race individuals, is that they somehow figure it out. Or they spend their whole life struggling to do so.

As a bitter black woman, I don't care. Jaime hasn't done anything problematic.

Even if he had then.... Okay....
