I'll see if I can circle this back around to the OP...
Quote:1. ALL BLACKS CAN SUMMON THE GANGSTA
Try to imagine hearing an old-money aristocrat on the Upper West Side say: “I can get redneck if I have to. I’ll go up yonder holler and tan that old bastard’s hide.” Upper-class white people don’t have a connection with the lower orders. They don’t even understand them. If Brooke Astor had ever met Eminem, the entire conversation would have been a sea of pardon mes.
Yes and no. Most people, regardless of race, have the ability to code switch in the US. It's just a matter of whether or not said UMC persons actively acknowledge and interact that low class proles that exist in their family tree.
Quote:2. BLACKS AIN’T DOWN WITH THE GAYS
This is a bitter pill to swallow for liberals so they put it in the plant and tell the doctor they took it. During a Trayvon demonstration, a white hippie got on a megaphone and said he was sick of the oppression of minorities such as African-Americans and the LGBT community. A stocky black woman then grabbed the megaphone and informed him that the issue at hand was “not no gay ****! None of that!”
Mostly true, which highlights my theory that the DNC is simply a big tent of disparate groups that are only unified by the idea that the GOP is full of bigoted old rich white men. If you really want to see this in action, simply compare the Gay marriage issue to the civil rights struggle of the 60's.
Quote:3. BLACKS DON’T LIKE THEIR FANS
...
The majority of black Americans would rather have a beer with an Archie Bunker type who talks about the dangers of “negro neighborhoods” (which he lives right next to) than the Gawker blogger who keeps whining about “crackers” and annoying “white men” like his own father. Blacks don’t appreciate the ethnomasochism of whites. They think it’s on some ***** ****.
There is a theory on race relations that sums this up perfectly; in the south, blacks can get close to whites, but not get far (political power). Up north, blacks can get far, but not close.
Quote:4. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS SELLING OUT IN BLACK AMERICA
If a broke white comedian appears briefly in a commercial for motor oil he becomes a pariah. The more esoteric the art form, the more verboten it is to profit from it. Punk rockers are barely allowed to have enough money to eat.
Rappers have the opposite set of rules. If you’re in NWA and you want to do a commercial for malt liquor, you are “getting yours.”
The above mentioned 'selling out' is approved because one is separating white people from their money while still remaining true to the 'hood. Don't be deceived though, Tim Scott, Mia Love and Thomas Sowell and absolutely considered sell outs. The research on this take is pretty weak.
Quote:5. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS
Whites across the political spectrum see beating a woman as one step down from murder. Blacks hate it too but they prefer to keep the whole thing in-house. If a white celebrity was caught hitting his wife, the couple would split and we’d never hear from him again. Maybe it’s because so many blacks have been sent to jail for domestic violence—one prison guard in Queens told me about a third are in there for “domestics”—but they don’t see getting the authorities involved as beneficial for anyone.
True, but only insomuch as is a black woman has decided to be with a man permanently, then she has made a decision to rebuke that financial benefits of single motherhood that Daddy Gov't can offer. It would be a betrayal of her principals to backtrack.
Quote:6. BLACKS DON’T CALL 911
Why bother? As Flavor Flav said, “911 is a joke.” Possibly for the same reasons they prefer to handle domestic violence themselves, they prefer almost all crimes to be taken care of by the community. You’d think they were living on the Rez, or under a cooler version of sharia law. If a fight breaks out in the projects, they are more likely to yell downstairs for their cousins than call the cops.
Such lawless areas are were 'might makes right' and you end up with tautological gems like 'snitches get stiches' and 'stop snitching'. The cops are called to come and pick up the dead body. 911 can't work in extra-judical enclaves where people don't/won't help the police and view law enforcement negatively.
Quote:7. THE LADIES LIKE BEING CATCALLED
Perhaps the most glaring example of rich white liberals not understanding black culture was the recent catcalling controversy. White girls don’t like it when black guys appreciate their bodies so they assumed all women were on the same page. I was surprised too when I first moved to New York and saw blacks, Hispanics, and working-class whites, strutting forward with beaming pride after getting catcalled and even hollering back, “Thanks, baby.” These men aren’t groping themselves and hurling disgusting fantasies at women, they are appreciating them. Being a man with a healthy libido who adores girls and wants them to know it is tantamount to being a rapist for liberals today and the rest of us think they’re nuts, especially blacks.
It depends on the type of guy doing the catcalling.
Quote:8. HAIRCUTS TAKE FOREVER
If you don’t know what it takes to make black women’s hair look like not-black women’s hair, I highly recommend the Chris Rock documentary Good Hair. Basically, long hair is purchased from poor Asian and Indian women and then stitched into a black women’s afro for thousands of dollars.
True.
Quote:9. BLACKS ARE PAROCHIAL
To outsiders, blacks seem to be a remarkably conformist culture where all kids dress exactly the same. White teenagers might be goths or cowboys or preppies or nerds, whereas black kids seem to all share the same personal stylist.
Mostly true, but there are cracks that are starting to appear that allow for deviation from the stereotypical black archtypes of athlete, thug or afrocentric activist.
Quote:10. THE BLACK GLASS IS HALF FULL
Being a pet isn’t that different from being a slave. After decades of being jewelry the Democrats wear to local fund rallies, black morale is relatively low. To justify big government programs, the left has told them again and again that life is hell and there’s no sense trying. Blacks are told they will not succeed on their own and they need the nanny state to nurture them. When someone makes it out of the ghetto, the left says it’s a very rare exception that can’t last.
Cracks are beginning to appear in this theory as well. Though it must be noted that the loyalty is more about maintaining black political power through racial unity in order to get equal time wielding the gov't use of forces powers.
