40 acres and a mule thinking

[Gaisaradatsuraku!]

That was you you dickhead. I was the guy also dissing that moron and you indicated that you were at least from NYC. I said I was from Brooklyn and you did too.

I left the hood behind me bro. Hence my hooks are lame white man hooks.

Been to Circus lately? Some nice hos in there huh?

Much better to perpetuate the myth that the white man is the devil...

Uhm, no, that's just "you" perpetuating that myth. Nice try though. Instead of coming up with intelligent responses, just throw as many racial stereotypes and inflammatory comments out there as you can and see if you can draw out some racial flame war comments from the other side. Interesting, and very old, strategy. Very lame though.

No dummy, I am showing you the logical extension of your very old, antiquated way of thinking. Welcome to the 21st century. Plenty of white folk in here. Just check your black rage at the door because the new age is the age of responsibility and self determination. No more of the democratic welfare state mentality that was like feeding crack to a crack whore. Oh, I am sorry? Was the last point so on point that it must be bigoted. Well, excuse my canard.

PS: Josh was from Oregon and he imitated blacks. I am from the East Coast and never imitated anyone except the young Marlon Brando.

I don't know about anyone else, but when I read this forum I have mental images of the posters... and I always pictured you as Christopher MacDonald in "Happy Gilmore".

I'll have to look him up. He ain't a white dude is he?

He da devil!

[cstaylor]

You haven't seen Happy Gilmore? Let me give you a taste:
(the movie is about golf)

Reporter: "What did you think of Gilmore's performance today"
MacDonald (as Shooter McGavin, tour hot-shot): "I don't know, I was too busy winning".

In summary, he pretty much saved that movie from destruction... Sandler is funny, but physical humor and non-sequitors are only good for so many laughs...

Ah yes "dickhead", what a witty retort. Such erudite book learning you possess. Well, if you're not Josh, you certainly appear to be cut from the same cloth: reckless verbal rants, racial slurs, incoherent posts, hip hop black face posts, machismo "I'm a man" issues, etc.

The fact that you seem to bent on discussing african-americans through the lens of welfare, fighting, reverse racism, nba player tattoos, crack whores, street slang and the like is just more proof of your cultural outlook. I'm curious, what things would you have to say if I was puerto-rican? I bet you have some really colorful descriptions and stereotypes for that group too, huh? What group is immune from your racial ranting? Nevermind, it doesn't matter, just keep spewing your faux-hip hop street slang so everyone here can get further confirmation of who you really are.

They Porty Rikans are my second favorite minority. But really, I am so different from Josh it is not funny. Clearly, you don't know anything about white people. Well, seen one honky and you've seen them all right?

And there you have it. If you were intelligent enough to be capable of irony, the attempted humor might be apparent, but alas, you are not, hence, it is not.

Funny but I always had the image of an old Marlon Brando..

I look a lot more like Buckwheat. You know him....o----tay!

Oh for goodness sake - Malcolm X as the most influential figure in modern black America after Martin Luther King, Jr. - That statement alone makes me want to weep for the demise of higher education.

Steve please educate me. History was not one of my chosen subjects but when I was forced to take it I remember feeling that we were taught a lot more of American history than our own (just the way it should be, right Gai?). However, ask me to name an influential black American and I'd probably go with the popular vote and name the two above.

Who was the most influential figure in modern black America after Martin Luther King?

[kotatsuneko]

i thought marcus garvey was one of the better ones

[Gaisaradatsuraku!]

Rent any of the Our Gang series. Buckwheat is king. No better actor in the business. Sammy Davis, also quite influential. In modern times Dennis Rodman is really moving the cause forward and Al Sharpton would be at the top of the list except he is a deadbeat and convicted liar.

The real story is that the bench is quite, quite thin and THAT is the real story.

Actually, Powell could be huge. Too bad that Harry Belafonte thinks this intelligent man is an Uncle Tom.

The best critical analysis of Japanese hip-hop I've seen is courtesy of Professor Ian Condry over at MIT. He turned me onto King Gidora, who is mentioned in the article. http://web.mit.edu/condry/www/jhh/ and the articles at http://www.iancondry.com/#publications

Taipei Times: Japanese hip-hop: Imitation or art?

For the last 12 months, Ian Condry has been organizing a research project at MIT and Harvard on Cool Japan: Culture, Media, Technology. So on the surface he may appear to be one of those young academics who desperately wishes he was even younger, and seeks to redeem himself from the staid image university life often attracts by immersing himself in the culture of the markedly and trend-settingly young. But this would be to do him an injustice. This new book, his first, shows he has the merit of plowing his own furrow in research, of being able to read and speak Japanese fluently, and of being able to write clearly and forcefully about contemporary Asian life...more...

Taipei Times: Japanese hip-hop: Imitation or art?
...To him Japanese pop music, certainly of the hip-hop variety, is nothing if not distinctive and original. Far from copying American originals, it takes the form and develops it into local and often remarkable Japanese styles....

Words like that make me glad I'm only an albino American alien---Otherwise, I would have to have a litter of still-born kittens at the thought Japanese hip-hop is "distinctive and original" and "often remarkable."
