What was this?

2017-01-17 02:58:01 UTC  

'Dreams from My Father'

2017-01-17 02:58:16 UTC  

He used Colonialism every sentence - -

2017-01-17 02:58:17 UTC  

pratically..

2017-01-17 02:58:23 UTC  

Soo.. "Decolonialism" is key.

2017-01-17 02:58:28 UTC  

He hated Colonial Powers...

2017-01-17 02:58:39 UTC  

@Mother 'The Audacity of Hope'.

2017-01-17 02:59:03 UTC  

Not the title of the book, the reference to what he "thought of America"

2017-01-17 02:59:56 UTC  

He's a very confused black Muslim.

2017-01-17 03:00:41 UTC  

I feel bad for mixed people.

2017-01-17 03:01:01 UTC  

They are in the unfortunate situation of not being accepted by either community.

2017-01-17 03:01:15 UTC  

I remember when I was in High-School... They called mixed people 'Light Skins'

2017-01-17 03:01:22 UTC  

Yes, and it's been scientifically proven that they have more health issues.

2017-01-17 03:01:24 UTC  

The Black kids did.

2017-01-17 03:02:33 UTC  

The White Kids beat up on him a little bit to (This was during Football when the political commissars weren't around)

2017-01-17 03:03:38 UTC  

I saw this kid go back and forth between both communities and he looked more comfortable with the white kids, but he felt (he told me this) more natural with the black kids.

2017-01-17 03:03:56 UTC  

Really was sad to see him go through that.

2017-01-17 03:05:21 UTC  

They'd be much more ostracized by whites than blacks understandably.

2017-01-17 03:07:07 UTC  

That's the thing, the white kids were nicer (because the accusation of racism was much harsher back then) to him but still beat up on him on occasion. The black kids accepted him but were openly much more harsher on him. (Beatings, challenges, 'pranks', general abuse)

2017-01-17 03:07:26 UTC  

This is just my experience of seeing this.

2017-01-17 03:08:54 UTC  

That was the first time I heard the term 'Light Skins' (mulattos)

2017-01-17 03:13:36 UTC  

I dunno man.

2017-01-17 03:13:57 UTC  

All I know is, these blaeks blend into the night, which is like a double negative. A black on black crime.

2017-01-17 03:16:52 UTC  

@Bloodborn We call the mulattos "mutts" over here in the South. Why, because they resemble what St. Bernards would look like if their fur was mixed in all of the way.

2017-01-17 03:19:14 UTC  

@randellgary I heard of that term to. Did you ever do any sports?

2017-01-17 03:20:18 UTC  

@Bloodborn When I was younger. Mostly basketball and indoor field hockey.

2017-01-17 03:23:59 UTC  

Ah, I did Football, and a bit of Rugby myself. Whenever I heard I liberal teacher complain that Football was teaching kids how to be soldiers I always just sorta rolled my eyes. Yes, it's a game of strategy for coaches... but it builds comradery. When you go into the gym to bench 550lbs, you have to trust your spotter with your life. It teaches competition, comradery and discipline. All of which are sorely needed.

2017-01-17 03:36:50 UTC  

@Bloodborn Hell, they call American football "handegg". And they mock us for using knee and shoulder pads and helmets, meanwhile they play rugby AS IS with just their bodies.

2017-01-17 03:38:24 UTC  

I played it bothways, while I do love clobering others in rugby... i quite like the helmet and shoulder pads... you know.. just so I don't get a concussion every two games.

2017-01-17 03:42:12 UTC  

@Austin A. It's fair game, but keep in mind that grown men here in the States will literally get enraged if "their team" doesn't get a win. It baffles me, honestly.

2017-01-17 03:43:40 UTC  

@randellgary crazy isn't it

2017-01-17 03:49:05 UTC  

I don't get it myself.

2017-01-17 03:49:09 UTC  

And I played the damn game.

2017-01-17 03:49:21 UTC  

@Lyall Yeah. Then again, any excuse to see dudes get pissed off for no real reason is alright in my book.

2017-01-17 03:50:16 UTC  

Yeah lol I just don't like spending that much energy on being upset over a game, hell I'm an Auburn fan.... 😂

2017-01-17 03:52:28 UTC  

@TRQN Hell, I've seen cheating spouses that had more control when their significant other eventually found out. These sports fans who get upset make the "pro wrestling" crowd look serene.

2017-01-17 03:53:04 UTC  

😂 good point

2017-01-17 03:53:53 UTC  

I tend to be pretty chill, there's not much that gets me that upset, probably why I don't get it

2017-01-17 04:13:40 UTC  

@TRQN If you ask me, I assume they use football as a way to escape how their real lives are like. Yeah, we'd all would like to earn millions of dollars, bang hot women, drive expensive cars, have great fashion accessories and earn awards but some of us aren't laboring under delusions of grandeur.

2017-01-17 04:18:08 UTC  

I can see that @randellgary though I'll pass on the women. 😂😂 there are days I wish I had a small cabin up in the mountains away from public*gag but I know the reality of it and that it takes hard work. Nothing will be handed to me, I have to earn my way. Makes me sad so many in my generation have been lied to and think they'll just get things

2017-01-17 04:18:40 UTC  

LAND IN TEXAS IS CHEAP!
