I guess subconsciously, yes. Obviously it's not true, but it is a more appealing physical characteristic.Originally Posted by layeazy

A little education considering the new proposal for an all-white scholarship program.
Many have asked about blacks only universities. THEY DO NOT EXIST!!! There are no universities in this country that are exclusive to blacks. That's against the law, first of all. But secondly, the colleges many are referring to are historically black colleges. They have non black enrollment. Usually 3%-5% and that jives with the black enrollment of many mainstream colleges.
Now the reason these colleges exist is because up until the 1960s blacks weren't always allowed to enter many colleges. Colleges in the south should be considered traditionally all white colleges because up until 1964 they didn't allow blacks into their schools. So in order for blacks to get a college degree that had to have their own. Now that there are open enrollment, these schools still exist and like the colleges of the south, they are inclusive of all people.
Now let's discuss BET (black entertainment television). 1st, its owned by Viacom, which is a white owned. Secondly, its has nothing to do with race, its capitalism at its finest. Someone found a demographic underrepresented in television and they found a way to make money off it. Let's face it the demographic for MTV is different from the demographic of MTV. We're different so why not have programming that reflects that difference. BET is no different than Philipino television, Univision, or any other ethnic centered television channels. I compare BET to CMT (country music television). I wouldn't have a problem with CMT being called White Entertainment Television. Why? Because how often do you see minorities on that channel? I guarantee you see more whites on BET than you see blacks on CMT.
Just thought I'd drop some food for thought.

To what would you attribute the casting of blacks in movie roles which originally starred whites? The Karate Kid for instance. Is it just another way to capitalize on consumers and make money, or do you think it comes from something deeper?
Anabolic Member
Money! I mean, I think Karate Kid is a bad example because the remake also involves a Chinese main character instead of the original Japanese character. So I don't think movies like that even matter. The race of the main character plays no significance. I'd be hard pressed to find any other examples. "I am Legend" is another example, but just like Karate Kid, Will Smith has the money to buy the rights to those movies. But again, the race of the characters in those movies had no significance to the movie itself. So I think its all about money. Now if a black man was cast in a movie of historical relevance then maybe I would consider it an issue.

This question may not seem serious but it is.
My 1st cousin is about to marry a black guy. No one in my family cares at all, love is love. Anyway, she was talking to my wife and she mentioned that he is nervous about meeting our family because I think he figures us all for hillbillies. We have family reunions every year fyi and he is going to meet everyone at once. I don't wanna call him up and be like don't worry because I don't know if she told him that she confided in my wife about his fears(lack of a better term). We ( my wife, son and I) will be visiting how would your approach the subject of him being nervous? Or would you not say anything and just show him he has no reason to be nervous at all?

Mayweather isn't what you see on TV. Trust me, its all an act. I did some bodyguard work for him in the past. Neither him nor 50 dislike white people. Hell Em is one of 50s best friends. Mayweather's advisors are all white and some of his closest confidants are all white. Plus Mayweather is a very smart man, he won't fight outside the ring and why should he? Would you get give away for free what you could get paid millions for?
Anyway, enjoy those painkillers brotha. I'm about to pop a few myself. Just deadlifted 700 for a double then did some box squats and my knees are screaming at me!!
Anabolic Member
Definitely give him a ring. I've been where he's at. It's nerve racking. Talking to him before the event will give him a sense of security plus it'll make him feel more comfortable knowing he has at least one person on his side. But before you talk to him, make sure whatever you tell him is real and honest. If they're are people in the family that won't approve, let him know who, so he can avoid them during the family reunion. Good luck and remember open communication is always best.

Quantity of quality. Thats for guys who smoke constantly. Old school brothas (with jobs) only smoke late at night and only need a little bit to get right. Plus I gotta little cheddar in my pocket (and a script) so I get the pharma grade stuff. A little dab will do ya!!!

Just thought I'd bump this to pay homage to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on the anniversary of his assassination. He was one of the greatest Americans and too bad we are still a long way to realizing his dream. The saddest part being that both sides have bastardized the man's leniage and used him for their own personal, selfish gains.
RIP Dr. King. You are truly missed!

Does it ever piss you off that you have to shape, rather than style, your hair?
Anabolic Member
Nah, I'm bald so I don't have many options. But when I did have hair, I had 'good hair' so I could style my hair but blacks haven't been into styles but the shaping was always we were into. Seems to have crossed over to 'others' as well, since you don't see very many black men with their hair 'styled' but you see a lot of whites, hispanics, and even asians trying to mimick black hairstyles.

I was watching Barbershop last night and had to chuckle when there was a revelation about Black Men need to stop bullsh1tting themselves about three things:
1) Rodney King deserved to get his asss beat
2) OJ did it
3) Rosa Parks just sat her tired asss down
...gotta love it!
Anabolic Member
I beg to differ. I was thinking you were close to my age? But I remember back in the 70's.... (ok, early 70's), I lived in the California Bay area...
comparing the two different generations?
and here's a big clue.... interracial couples. Now, it's no big deal. Back then? You had to worry about some dumb asss redneck coming at you if you were black, or in my case, some black chic coming at me or my girl cuz she was black.
My son was dating a black girl there for awhile (mentioned it in one of my "few" threads). Nowadays, it's all good, and the litmus test I gauge his girls is all about respect and work ethic and family values (in no particular order). I'd hands down approve any girl of color with respect, as opposed to some white disrespect girl. this seems obvious nowadays.
I think Dr. King's message was one of tolerence (first stage), and seriously, we really have come along ways. Don't you think?
As a society, we really should be proud of this accomplishment. I challange you to show me any other society that has turned it around, this much, in a sinigle generation.

I think I agree with both of you...we have come a long way, and have a long way to go.
Anabolic Member
hahahahaah!! And the movie was right!
But Times, I'm not saying we haven't made progress, I'm saying that we haven't made enough progress and we are far from the day that Dr. King was speaking of. Yes interracial dating is more accepted nowadays than in the 70s but me and my wife still get looks from others and there are still places in this country where it is frowned upon and people will say hateful things. The day Dr. King was referring to was the day racial differences didn't matter...ANYWHERE in this country. To believe that it doesn't in certain areas is naive.
Anabolic Member
IMO... never happen. We are a society, hell, we are a race of people that loves to categorize things including people. And when you categorize, you notice differences. When there are differences, there is judgement.
Like any dream, or goal, it is something to strive for.
Unfortunately, there is ignorance amongst ourselves. And truly, ignorance is the enemy!
We have achieved more in a single generation than any other country has achieved in hundreds of years. That is something to celebrate!
The day Dr. King dreamed of is a goal. But, we should not get disappointed because we are not there yet. We should look back and be happy we are not where we were just a few short years ago. =)
Knowledgeable Member
TR well put. I never really though of it that way; as in look how much we have accomplished. Agreed we need to keep working for the common goal of equality but it's far from a black/white thing.
It really is to bad the there are still so many people, religions, races and fanatics who think they are the superior race. Granted some races do have superior genetics for certain sports but that's just part of adaptation.
Anabolic Member
it's not just a black / white thing...
it's a male / female thing
black / white / brown / "red" / "yellow" thing
disabled thing
religious thing
old person thing
gay thing
Title 10 has a whole list of "things" this is about.
It's really just about people, and treat others as you yourself wish to be treated. Simple as that.

Some people eagerly go down this path, saying X people are better at swimming, and Y people are better at fencing. (whatever)
Here is the ugly sister to that thought.... If certain races have a predisposition for a physical aptitude, then it is not too much of a stretch to include the idea that certain races have a predispotition for certain mental aptitudes.
After all, the brain is a part of our physiology, just like muscles, hormones and skeletal formations.
So let's just extrapolate that thought for a moment, shall we? How easy would it be for me to form an opinion and say, "Based on what I see, Afghan men are probably not as intelligent as the people in the United States"? Ignore the idea that a comment like that would probably get me linched for the moment.
Do we accept thoughts such as this? Having said this, I would scoff at the idea.
Another thought. During the 70s' through the 90's, Blacks dominated boxing. You think genetics? hmmmm.... Not so sure. Today, Russians completely dominate the heavy weight division. Genetics? Doubtful.
I think that anyone coming up through the streets, struggling to survive, like many of the russians today, will have an advantage in the ring. The corrallery to this is that growing up in a comfortable environment puts you at a disadvantage. Growing up comfortable means you've never had to really put it all on the line, and therefore, probably won't start in the ring.
From a DNA standpoint, we have 99% the same DNA as a baboon. I'm guessing, but between races of people, it would be nearly 100% the same. I don't see how one race can have a genetic advantage over another?

If you were given 300K. Would you buy a really really nice car and living in "da hood" or buy a really nice house and a "regular" car ?
Anabolic Member
It's Title 9, but I get your point. And I wish it was as simple as that.
If you look at the history of sports in this country, it was usually the ethnicity at the bottom of society that did well. Why? Well its because that was the only place where they were allowed to succeed. Just think about the Irish at the turn of the last century, then the Jews in the 20s, Italians and Eastern Europeans in the 30-40s, then blacks up until the 90's. Now its the Mexicans that dominate boxing. The Eastern Europeans and Russians dominate the heavyweight division because of the absence of American heavyweights because we have 'evolved' to play more profitable sports.
As far as genetics is concerned, I believe that years ago, certain races may have been genetically predisposed to be better at certain things (similar to horse breeding), but with the large amount of intermixing between cultures and races, I don't think that is true today. Let's face it, the reason why blacks were used as slave labor was because Europeans and even native Americans couldn't handle the working conditions in adverse climates the way Africans could.
Not really...lol!
Remember I was a professional athlete DSM, so I had that opportunity for several years. Never had the desire to live in the hood (most blacks don't live in 'da hood') and I bought a nice house and had a couple regular cars.
TR, I think our perspectives differ on King's dream because we are of different races. What you've seen and experienced will differ from what I've seen and experienced. So you think we should celebrate what we have accomplished thus far. And while I agree that we should be proud of what we have accomplished (much further than places like Brazil), as a black man, I feel that we haven't come nearly far enough. So our perspectives are going to differ because you haven't experienced what I have.
