Sister mmmdot's words
mmmdot • 8 months ago
Welp! At least he's admitting that many Black men disrespectfully speak to us like children - as if many of us didn't know that already. Many Black men committed to anti-racism hypocritically deploy anti-black misogyny against Black women. It's where all their RUDE, UNSOLICITED, uneducated, paternalistic Steve Harvey-like "advice" for us comes from. ::Eyeroll:: They don't realize they stereotype us the same way whites stereotype any black man they personally don't like as a "ghetto thug". Patriarchal binaries are used to oppress Black women while leaving men unaccountable for their behavior. Examples : “[too] independent woman” vs. “gold digger,” “strong" vs. "angry,” “Black queen” vs. “b__ _ _/females", “supportive” vs. “bitter”, "classy/stuck-up" vs."ghetto hood_ _ ", "h_ _ _ _ _" vs. "good girls". NONE of these do ANY good for Black women on EITHER side.
There are two ways to dehumanize someone: by dismissing them and by idolizing them. That's what these patriarchal binaries do: dehumanize Black women.The Black men who use these labels don't truly SEE us for the complex women and human beings we ACTUALLY are. People THINK calling a woman a "ghetto hood_ _ _" or a "good girl" is a neutral, objective description of their actual BEHAVIOR or MINDSET but it's really just a stupid, shallow, toxic anti-black misogynist stereotype that is used to DEHUMANIZE Black women. The men who stereotype Black women like this are generally sexists who inflict anti-black misogyny on Black women. They need to think twice about the way they speak to and about Black women.

The only "problem" black people have is whites and their nasty antisocial attachment to and investment in white supremacy, anti-blackness, and misogyny. If your society is built on disrespecting my very humanity it deserves to be totally destroyed and you right along with it. Completely and utterly decimated. Period. This shit has ONLY been going 500 years. Humans have been on this Earth for 200,000 years. Globalized white supremacy didn't exist before that time and it damn sure isn't going to last forever...so they better be prepared for what's going to happen to their albino asses when their REIGN OF TERROR is over. Because it WILL happen. One way or another this f_ _ _ _ will end and they know d_ _ _ _ well they'll deserve everything they get. They may not want to pay the consequences, but they d_ _ _ sure know they deserve them.
The massive mistreatment against Black people by whites is deserving of massive justice. There must be accountability in combating evil, which is the Law of the Universe. Today, we see a radical reduction of the white population worldwide and that's JUST the TIP of the iceberg of what they've got coming to them...

If there is a case to be made against Affirmative action this is not it .This instead is the embodiment of white entitlement and mediocrity, please do your research
1) 1180 Sat score and 3.59 GPA is considered mediocre for a lot of schools.
2) There were only 47 students with same/lower points than Abby that were accepted that yr 42 of them were WHITE.
3)In other words all the black /latino students that got into UT scored higher than Abby save for the 5(see above )
4) There were several white students with higher grade than her that were rejected
5)There were several black /latino (168) students with higher grades than her that were rejected
6)UT gave her the option of doing 1 year at another school and then transferring provided she maintained a 3.2 Gpa and she refused
7) Affirmative action addresses inequalities based on gender and not just race/ethnicity & there are studies that prove white women have benefited the most from Affirmative Action
Finally in a white dominated society , as a white woman , Abby with a lower GPA from a lesser University is very likely to be in a better paying job than black students with higher GPA from UT or elsewhere.

Savant's Words
I certainly favor an independent (preferably democratic) Palestinian state, and have long favored the two state solution to the Israeli/Palestine crisis. For me this is a human rights issue. And this may help lessen the force of terrorism to an extent. But I doubt that the resolution of the Palestine question would solve the problem of groups like ISIS. ISIS didn't emerge out of the Palestine/Israel crisis. If I'm not mistaken their base is in Syria and Iraq. Had America not invaded Iraq in 2003 both ISIS and Al Quaeda would be less of a force in the world, NEITHER had a footing in Iraq until AFTER GW Bush's disastrous blundering in Iraq. (Of course, I would have like to see an end to Saddam Hussein, but preferably by a democratic POPULAR REVOLUTION). At the same time, a military solution--or at least a PURELY or primarily military solution--will probably be like pouring gasoline on a fire. I wish I could say what the best solution might be. Attai suggested somewhere (I forget when and where) that had decisive military action been taken when ISIS was first forming it could have been neutralized. Perhaps. But now? I doubt it.
My French friends here in Baltimore don't seem to think such condolences are "hollow" , and they do not share your xenophobia and barbaric racism. And I seem to recall that 9/11 horror was carried out by fanatics who were not immigrants or citizens of this country. The West (especially the USA today) has to own up to its part in creating the crisis that exists in the Middle East today; and Western global capitalism must be held responsible for destroying the economies and social infrastructure of poor countries, which is largely (maybe primarily) the source of the global immigration crisis. If I hold ISIS and its leaders responsible for their actions, I likewise hold the leaders of the West (surtout les Etats-Unis) and the corporate power system responsible as well.

Savant on the Paris attacks
freddy is a buffoon who acts the fool on any occasion, even one of such tragedy as we see in France now. He may think he's being funny, but some of my friends have FAMILY over there including a lady (of 68 generation) who teaches in Baltimore. I've two students from France who don't find this in the least amusing that their family might be in danger. I may disagree with you or Attai on certain things from time to time; and I know how much you may disagree with each other. But this massacre is no laughting matter, and hardly the time for the childish game of trying to score points as freddy does here and elsewhere. On THAT I think we all agree--including you and Attai. My condolences to the French people---les blancs, les noirs, les juifs, les mussulman francais et les autres. Mort au terrorism. Mort au Fascisme! Vive la liberte! Franternit! et Egalite!
-Savant
_________________________________
Mon amis, Attai: My condolences to you and your compatriots. Again, your country has been targeted by theocratic loons. I hope that no harm has come to you, your family and friends. A French teacher here in Baltimore, and one of my long time friends, has at least learned that none of her family was directly touched; but she is unsure about the sons of one of her friends who may or may not have been in or near the club that was attacked. I say to you as I said to her that I sincerely hope your family has not been directly touched, and that your country can defeat this scourge of terrorism on her soil without surrendering your traditions and ideals of liberte, fraternity et egalite.

At least 90% of Blacks were RURAL folk, not residents of inner cities. I know of NO Marxists in the Democratic Party, though Bernie Sanders is reportedly a socialist of sorts. "Successful Lives", if you mean economic prosperity under global capitalism, is less and less available to ANYONE; and given the super-exploitation and economic dispossession of Blacks (and Latinos apparently) this "success " is even less available to us as a group. As far as I am concerned BOTH Democrats are Republicans are essentially corporate parties; parties subservient to corporate interests. Both practice racism, though nowadays (unlike the past) more blatantly among Republicans than Democrats. Hence both can go to hell. A plague on both your houses!

Crammasters Exposing the Evil sick male 'King" Noble
At the heart of anti-black female rhetoric is Homosexuality on the DL. No normal heterosexual black male man spends time downing women. There might be women he doesn't personally like, but he would never advocate harming black females he has never met. What if someone takes his message to heart and rapes his mother or sister? My guess is he is so mentally deranged and self-hating that he might not care. Black people will never be free of oppression until we eliminate this element from our communities and the best way to do that is put them on ignore. Don't give them a second of attention and they will dry up and go away. "King" (Queen) Noble will eventually self-destruct on his own.
For a black male under the foot of white oppression to focus his rage on black women and children, he is a sniveling coward, he has been beaten, he is frightened of his enemies and cowers before them like the coward he is. He is not a man, he is barely a male, and has no idea what a man is. He is doing his white masters bidding and for all purposes is doomed to be a slave forever.
