How to be "black enough":

Wanted Assailant
Being a stupid white guy, from a cornfield, can someone explain to me what people mean when they criticize someone (i.e., Obama) for not being "black enough"?  I'm assuming other black people are most likely those who would say this as some sort of criticism ... but I don't understand exactly what this means.  ((I'm not just limiting the discussion to Obama, use any example you want, this is just the only person that came to mind)).

 

Ok Ok - I'm assuming that if someone (jessie jackson, say) said that Obama may not be "black enough" --- first, I would be confused - that's why I'm here. 

   Next, I would take this to mean, that the person must be acting white or eurasian or something other than "black".

So, does acting more "black" mean acting less "everything-not-black"?

I have never heard someone saying that, maybe some people say hes not black enough because hes not african-american.

 

@ Iminicus

 

Why would black people have to prove they are not black? what you just said was racist.

They have to prove they don't fit into the stereotypes that are associated with black people.

 

Now, on the racist remark. I wasn't being racist. I was telling an observation. If you believe that to be racist, I would say your misuse of the word Machiavelli to describe an uninspiring rap musician as racist. Also, it is a butchering of my native language, which could be seen as racism against England.

 

So stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

what on motherf*cking earth have 2pac and machiavelli to do with this, you sound like a retard! now stick that up youre ass and enjoy it. BITCH!!!

Because you devote your life to them.

 

 

And because you didn't define the word, racist, which has been demeaned and degraded quickly in such small years. I hope you know what it means.

I hate all this white and black stuff, we all people, I'm half and half so I used to be stuck, but now it's like, just view you for you and them for them, not they colour and like accept that they are the colour that they are.

 

As for acting a colour, it's pathetic, how can you act a colour?

I don't see how the misuse of a word, or someone taking it upon themselves as a name is racist.

Makiv Tupac guy, you are giving our people a bad name. This topic had a good debate going on until you came in.

Lock requested or posts deleted

A quick reply because I predict this topic will be getting locked pretty soon!

 

Anyways! what's the whole point of racism anyways? it's ignorant and just a waste of time just talking about it.

To be honest their's no such thing their's a reason why we are all different because if we looked identically the same then life would truly suck! and besides that's how it was meant to be, GOD loves us all the same!.

Now I think some good points were made here, after all Obama himself wants to bring the race issue to the front of the american mind, and have a frank and honest discussion about it.

 

IMHO he better keep trying to do this, although I'm not certain what he wants to "discuss" .... Now, maybe he would benefit from not discussing the issue at all - he needs to have some success at something if he hopes to win
