Black Culture Discussion Thread

[maq25060]

Ain't my convo, but I think your question is much too simplified.

Joe Budden said he doesn't celebrate death...I wont go that far and say im here.

MLH said he's not happy he was murdered...That's where I'm at with it, personally.

I posted as much in the unpopular opinion thread...the fact that he was murdered makes this an empathetic situation. I dont feel bad that it happened to him. And I do find the celebration of his murder to be off-putting...and I think Van articulated why celebrating his murder to be ugly very well.

"Cherry-picked".

That's certainly one way of looking at it.

Purely out of curiosity/no judgement - do you have empathy for Charlie Kirk?

I give zero damns about what happened to dude.
He made his own bed, whatever happened to him happened to him. It is what it is.

 

[fluid hips]

Kirk wasn't any different. Using religion as a shield while pedaling hate. Fear mongering was how he was making a living and paying his bills.

Why is she so arrogant and condescending about it?

Didn't need to hear anything she said before "So.."

Out here sounding like an old Everest College commercial...

All jokes aside - it's a damn good thread!

Never knew Rev Dr. MLK Jr. did an interview with Playboy or was invited to speak by The Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

Dear Dr. King:
Being aware of your already expressed heavy speaking schedule, we are somewhat reluctant to seek from you a speaking date for the Muhammad Chicago Moslems.
However, as per our conversation at Orchestra Hall after your speech, “What Is Man?”, we are hereby writing you to ascertain a date in March or April, 1958 for your appearance before the Moslems of Chicago, and of course, other citizens, in a Free Rally in our great Temple #2 in Chicago’s exclusive Hyde Park District.
We suggest the earliest possible date in April, as that is the month of our many activities. We believe you hinted that you had never (in our conversation) appeared before a Moslem audience before. In that case, we would be honored to be your first Moslem audience.
Please be advised that we are prepared fully to assume any and all expense in connection with whatever date you are able to grant us at this time.
If considered, we shall await your earliest reply that we may give your coming ample publicity coverage.
ELIJAH MUHAMMAD
MESSENGER OF ALLAH

LOL @ "Let me put my chicken down."

Funny.

Big dude had some quotes. GOod way to handle that foolishness Black Man, we don't always have to give them what they want (which is pure anger).

Dude's face will be everywhere and his life will suffer.

Kirk was a worthless racist and I won't miss him. I'm surprised at all the weirdos here popping up for him, usually they would have been more vocal before now. I'm truly against political violence though, I mean look at all the nonsense it's wrought so far.

You're in denial about the state of American democracy.

It has been killed by a thousand cuts (mainly apathetic and proudly ignorant voters), and we are watching the emergence of another political system that is not going to be kind on dissent to white christian supremacy.

You're not out of touch, you're living in reality.

Problem is, a lot of these folks aren't. Most of these folks aren't. As I was just saying in the politics thread, we're seemingly firmly into a time when people just make up their own realities.

They want some martyr to rally around that they can elevate to MLK? They'll make whoever into that.

Just an extra average white male that hid behind religion to spread his racist messages. People should have wore turtlenecks to mock him and his followers yesterday………protect ya neck.
