Black Culture Discussion Thread

I knew I would get this kind of response.

Oh well.

Wasn't my intention to come off offensive at all bro. If you got some constructive stuff id like to see it. With all the lies and corruption about history it's gonna be a process trying to figure things out.

Will all the trolls we've dealt with thus far, I feel like people are gonna lead to a no nonsense attitude. If that's the best you can come up with though as far as half truths....
 
It doesn't matter what I come up with because people will believe whatever they want.

I mean...an opinion column and anecdotal accounts are being lent more credence than DNA evidence.

It's whatever though. I won't press the issue.

This guy got a history?


And from a historical point of view, it's been proven time and time again the history books have been cooked to reflect white supremacy.
So naturally people are gonna have an inclination to lean that way.

The Seven Black Presidents Before Barack Obama
Were There Black US Presidents before? The people thought that Barack Obama is the first black President of the United States. Wrong.

1. John Hanson (a Moor) was actually the 1st President of the United States, he served from 1781 – 1782 and he was black. The new country was actually formed on March 1, 1781 with the adoption of The Articles of Confederation. This document was actually proposed on June 11, 1776, but not agreed upon by Congress until November 15, 1777. Maryland refused to sign this document until Virginia and New York ceded their western lands (Maryland was afraid that these states would gain too much power in the new government from such large amounts of land).

Once the signing took place in 1781, a President was needed to run the country. John Hanson was chosen unanimously by Congress (which included George Washington). In fact, all the other potential candidates refused to run against him, as he was a major player in the revolution and an extremely influential member of Congress.

As President, Hanson ordered all foreign troops off American soil, as well as removal of all foreign flags. He established the Great Seal of the United States, which all Presidents since have been required to use on all Official Documents. He declared that the 4th Thursday of every November to be Thanksgiving Day, which is still true today. Even though elected, one variable that was never thought through was that America was not going to accept a Black President during the heart of the enslavement period. Enter George Washington.

2. Thomas Jefferson was the 3rd President of the United States, he served from 1801 – 1809 and he was black. His mother a half-breed Indian squaw and his father a mulatto (half white and half black) from Virginia. He fathered numerous children with Sally Hemmings, a mulatto slave with whom he lived with in Europe.

3. Andrew Jackson was the 7th President of the United States. He served from 1829 – 1837 and he was black. His mother was a white woman from Ireland who had Andrew Jackson with a black man. His father’s other children (Andrew Jackson’s stepbrother) was sold into slavery.

4. Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States, he served from 1861 – 1865 and he was black. His mother was from an Ethiopian Tribe and his father was an African American. It was told that his father was Thomas Lincoln, a man to cover the truth, but he was sterile from childhood mumps and was later castrated, making it impossible for him to have been his father. Lincoln’s nickname “Abraham Africa-nus the First.”

5. Warren Harding was the 28th President of the United States, he served from 1921 – 1923 and he was black. Harding never denied his ancestry. When Republican leaders called on Harding to deny his “Negro” history, he said, “How should I know whether or not one of my ancestors might have jumped the fence?”

6. Calvin Coolidge was the 29th President of the United States, he served from 1923 – 1929 and he was black. He proudly admitted that his mother was dark but claimed it was because of a mixed Indian ancestry. His mother’s maiden name was “Moor.” In Europe the name “Moor” was given to all Black people just as in America the name “Negro” was used.

7. Dwight E. Eisenhower was the 33rd President of the United States, he served from 1953 – 1961 and he was black. His mother, Ida Elizabeth Stover Eisenhower, an anti-war advocate, was half black.

Some of the most influential presidents too :pimp:
 
Not sure what the urge is to link presidents to us. Dudes could give a **** about us so what's the incentive? **** them tbh.
 
For such a broad statement...the Beethoven **** probably wasn't the best topic to stand your claim on.

That's ridiculously trivial compared to the rest of the **** they talk about.
 
I was hoping that was the link. I didn't know Cee Lo was up on stuff like that until I heard the freestyle
 
 
Anybody catch that show blackish?
thought about watching it.... hoping that it wasn't as bad as the plethora of garbage tyler perry's been spewing out

Don't watch much TV anyway but I might giv it a try, could be good for black television
 
 
I enjoyed it. It had a huge premiere, so its going to get a full season of episodes.

15 Unexpected Quotes from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

View media item 1197308
“I knew that I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed in the ghettos without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today – my own government.”

“There is a magnificent new militancy within the Negro community all across this nation. And I welcome this as a marvelous development. The Negro of America is saying he’s determined to be free and he is militant enough to stand up.”

“You can’t talk about solving the economic problem of the Negro without talking about billions of dollars. You can’t talk about ending the slums without first saying profit must be taken out of the slums. You’re really tampering and getting on dangerous ground because you are messing with folk then. You are messing with captains of industry. Now this means that we are treading in difficult water, because it really means that we are saying that something is wrong with capitalism.”

This was a great article. The Martin Luther King the dominant society likes to portray is used as propaganda to aid white supremacy. He was a real dude and was more militant than people think.

 
Thought I'd never see this make it to NT,

Should probably export this to the Africa thread too.
