Actual Black American tired of Acho cosplaying as one on TV. He sure has a lot to say about us for someone who “learned Blackness” from his research. 🙄
@jemelehill
Dez is doing something the rest of y’all haven’t done, which is to call Malika out for being anti-Black American. I believe the polite phrase is “we see you, Malika”.
@HasadSicarii
Just facts. A lot of Black parents keep their kids shackled to those institutions - makes it easier to get along in many spaces, getting jobs, making friends, etc. - but the *smartest* Black parents allow their children the freedom to choose what they will do.
@DeeTwoCents
@FredTJoseph
How do we explain the commercial success of “Black Panther”? It beat *everything* in that genre other than Avengers. Spider-Man is supposed to be a kid and has DECADES of loyalty built up. This new kid is BRAND-new, so it’s folly to expect the nearly the same level of interest.

Virtue signaling gone wrong. The colors of Juneteenth are red, white, and blue,
@SouthwestAir
. The celebration has zero relationship to the continent of Africa. It is an American celebration, born in Texas.

@noatishby
This is so disrespectful to Black Americans. You're looking at Emmanuel Acho and allowing him to pass himself off as Black, which he is not. He doesn't speak for Black people. This entire conversation becomes fraudulent on that basis alone. And the other black guy is from Canada.

Exactly. The problem with the sketch nothing to do with trying to exclude homosexuals and non-binaries from Black-centric shows and movies. The problem is using tacky stereotypes.

@HasadSicarii
I’m results-based analyst. If Black Americans are the most religious Americans and BA - as a whole, not speaking individual cases - are also near the bottom in most economic metrics, I have to question why those things so often track so closely with one another in OUR population.
@Jussieakafba
What can they (we) do with it? Who taught them (us) to maintain anything? Who taught us how to convert that to a cash-flowing asset? How can multiple sibling heirs be expected to work together across a community for the betterment of that community?

@AshleyShyMiller
Yes, they could all get it, but my feelings align with OP's on this. I'm not saying that debasing Pam as a sex object would have made it better, but I don't think one can honestly deny that there was an element of "blackER-is-always-ugliER" in the way that "humor" was delivered.
@Toure
The large majority are and they don't even have to talk to one another to know the "code". "Running QB" is one of their go-to euphemisms for "athletic, but not cerebral". Anonymous reports of "character issues" to impact a guy's draft stock. And on and on...
@i_am_nunya
100 families per year might be about 300-400 people/year which might be about 1500 over 4 years.
Just counting individuals, the difference between 100 and 1500 - in the context of 30+ million - is completely insignificant.
@Frediculous
This. White. Here.
"They" *hated* Affirmative Action, because it mitigated the "redistribution of wealth" they were very happy with so long as said wealth was leaving the Black American community.
@PresidentPat
“I hate how dangerous Black men are.”
I don’t know this kid’s life or his struggles, but claiming victimhood while spreading hate against Black males is straight out of the WS playbook. If he felt unsafe, he should not go there. OR go, be cool, get his cut, then leave.
@BSO
I like Brock Purdy, because I like his game and I like his story. This idea that a 2nd-year QB sometimes "disappears" or "shows inexperience" are the most ridiculous narratives from the hot take entertainers. But also, the guys begging him to be Brady are clowns, too.
@BSO
"We" can't stand Nick Bosa more than we like Brock Purdy.
Brock Purdy playing like Mahomes is how the 49ers advanced past Green Bay and Detroit. In winning time, he was the difference in both those games and he took PATRICK MAHOMES to overtime.

Tough love = being given clear boundaries, while other kids in the neighborhood seemed to run wild. That’s just my experience, but I hear it repeated pretty often.
@Toure
Even after they blackballed Kap and he had to find work elsewhere, they still wanted to "high-tech lynch" him for being hired by Nike. They threatened Nike boycotts, but then folded (except for the one Colorado store owner who closed down) and switched to "well China!!"
@colorfullstory
Wanting to see someone held accountable for a misdeed = "hating BW and taking pride in seeing them harmed"?? 🤦🏽♂️
Tell your story, but... The huge majority of BM are nothing like this. You can focus on what you want, but it feels so dishonest to me, unless you just hate us.
@JustAFamilyMan_
The "myth" is that hard work and determination are enough. You included *opportunity*, the lack or absence of which is why the American Dream remains a myth for so many.
I'm looking around for the Latina, Asian, and South Asian "people of color" who are advocating for Black Americans. We need to be FEARLESS about using the term BLACK, in part because white liberals are trying to "POC" Black folk into the ether.
@Kyla_Lacey
He doesn’t sound “fine”. It sounds like he tries to convince himself he’s fine. He also sounds like someone who’d gladly transport that same trauma to the next generation.
@BSO
You’re both correct. But also…you’re both correct. 😕As much as I know what is *real* about America, I can never give up the hope that she will someday become what she purports herself to be.
They will still hate him, but if he wins, they’ll have to *address* him differently.
@ryanlynchmov
@Kyla_Lacey
The author claims a white person in the U.S. would be “jailed, ostracized, or murdered” for saying something racist. Where is that happening in the U.S.?
@ToniLaNae
That’s the kind of energy I would have. People running around talking about “you need to forgive and move on”...nope, I don’t *need* to do anything but stay Black.
@Ebonyteach
We did not gate-keep back then, because many of us bought into the pan-Africanists' vision. Meanwhile, corporate execs out here passing over qualified Black Americans because of the "we're too angry" stereotype, while later arrivals check the melanin box without the angry label.
@2020istrash2020
And they always the first ones to say "but what happened BEFORE the video??" (of yet another unarmed Black male behind shot and killed without due process).
Met Usher backstage at his residency last year and my wife acted like a teenager with her first crush when they got to take a picture. It’s like that sometimes. Just gotta be happy for her and then quietly delete all of his music from her phone like a real man.

@jdg84269
I wasn't all over the country, but I was around Black folk in a few different areas of the South and Pam was *not* getting the love she deserved. She had replaced Aunt Esther as the comedian's dark-skinned punching bag.
Race hustlers push the fact that not having the ability to build generational wealth and White Supremacy is what is missing from and has led to the demise of the Black community. Not having fathers in the home is what has destroyed the Black community.
Building generational
@Lou_Chainz
Point-of-information: Acho reports that he attended a predominantly White private school before going to UT Austin, which is less than 5% Black. So, if Acho was bullied as a child for his name, it most likely was not from Black Americans. Way to automatically blame us, though.
@ToniLaNae
Not. Even. Close. The most populous state is California, where we make up barely 5% of the population. I think the actual stat is like 6%, and they are including HAITIANS and possibly Africans. I can drive from Sacramento to Seattle without *seeing* another Black American.
@blackintheempir
Because - as a veteran - I am trying to reduce the odds of Black Americans being sent to fight in white folks’ wars that we won’t benefit from.
@bakara_j
I have no problem with him speaking out about his work situation, but I *do* have a problem with him being cast as James Baldwin in the upcoming biopic. That's a huge mistake.
@Behembaba
I don't "need" Reparations either, but MY PEOPLE and MY COMMUNITY do. The U.S. owes a debt, period, and I don't give a shit what black Brits or "colored" South Africans think about it. This ain't they business.
@OVOLakeShow
Somebody who’s hungry like that will never stop working on his game, first to earn himself a contract, and then to prove that he belongs in the League.
@Pauline98476699
Nope. He said “watch something else”, so I won’t be watching this either. There is nothing compelling about him and there are likely 10,000 Black Americans who can do his “job” better than he can. I’ll check them out instead.

The reason everyone KNOWS you’re lying is that 1) it didn’t happen and 2) even if the language got salty, as soon as a brother checks another brother by saying “it’s women/kids here”, that shit is corrected.
@Yascha_Mounk
“Misinformation”? Who said that? Hispanics angrily supporting *utin and TFG do it largely out of anti-Blackness, and knowing aligning with WS brings a *lot* of advantages - social, economic, and otherwise - in the U.S. And also, it ain’t new.
@TheHoopCentral
There would be no NBA (as a worldwide spectator event) without Magic. There would be an NBA without Steph. Whereas Magic was a true 1, Steph is more like a 1.5 *because* of his supreme shooting. The primary job of the 1 is playmaking, therefore the only right answer is Magic.
@TorraineWalker
I have no idea who that is, but if he’s got $29,000 to spend at one store, he could probably find another store willing to accept his business. And maybe they have water. 🤷🏽♂️
@atlfreak333
@AshleyShyMiller
Even if we concede that was a part of the show and definitely acknowledge it as FACT in Black America, we *must* then acknowledge light skin privilege has long made them the “preferred” class of Black folk. Even if it’s less today, families have had generations of benefit = 💰💰
@blackhomeva
They literally drilled this "white man's ice is colder" idea into us with Brown v. Board of Education, because our schools were being consistently and deliberately underfunded, which created an never-ending cycle of denied opportunities. That's the era I came up in.

It’s hilarious that they think someone is going to leave the comfort of their nest to go engage 4 people, when they can sit in the dark and fire.

That’s such a misleading headline,
@YahooNews
, very irresponsible. 🤬 “South Korea’s supreme court” is not “supreme court” for a US-based company.
