I do find it a little... Questionable... When a bunch of old fat white guys speculate on whether a historic black figure would or would not be "embarrassed to be black" today.

Seriously... Neither you, nor I nor any of the other old fat white guys know enough about "being black" to be able to make that speculation. It's weird enough that the thread is a bunch of angry fat white guys arguing over what constitutes racism... Let's not let it get more weird than that.

Oh stop it.
Why would color matter?

You could argue that no man could speculate about any other man.
To bring in color is beyond stupid.

A white man of today could sooner relate to a black man of today, then today's black man could relate to someone from MLK's day. (does that read OK?)

Yeah.
It's just like the days of the negro league baseball.


Hank Aaron would be embarrassed to be black if he were alive today.

LOL!

I'm not fat!!!

Nor am I black...

but I'm not white either.

I've had my share of racism handed out against me, but I don't give a flying fk what other people think of me, nor do I cry when chit don't go my way.

Oh, I'm not angry either :)


So I have to assume you're talking about everyone else.

I can't get worked up, nor am I a huge Spike fan, even less do I care if anyone else is or not. I have enjoyed some of his work though, have not seen all of it.

But though his style of movie making is a matter of taste, I have to say he has done his share of skewering his own race. Many unflattering caricatures appear, and he even goes after intra-black prejudice. I believe the movie School Daze pits light skinned blacks against dark skinned blacks and exposes stuff that many whites and BGZ may not know happens routinely...just for an example.

Meh, whatever.

as a big movie fan, I feel that they have dissed me and are considering me a racist if I watch the Oscars. Do I need to boycott the Oscars also....

Lol Frank, I like that little cut. You're right though... I don't know much about the inner workings of black internal bigotry. I'm glad you put me in a class of my own though, I'm unique that way.

Anyway, always fun trolling you guys (yes, I know I'm an azzhole :)

Guess that's how I earned my vowel.

My Grandma called me a wop-a-sioux and my Grandpa called me a little injun (a play on words when I had this toy train when I was little).

I guess you could figure out which side was what.

And some people have no testosterone or male genitalia, but you really shouldn't make it so obvious.
