Sounds like a version of Blacker than Thou This paper attempts to place the African immigrant and the African American in the context of their conditions in the United States. It addresses the issue of Americanization and the development of multiple identities that is fundamental to the contestation of “Blackness” in the United States. More importantly, the study discusses resource allocation and appropriation as critical to understanding the schisms between the African immigrant and the African American, focusing especially on how the conflict and tension potentially benefits other racial categories. It highlights the fact that conflict and tension between both groups result directly from the dominant White racial framing, wherein powerless groups unable to effectively challenge the forces that oppress them, attack themselves or people like themselves. To explain this complex interaction between Whites, African immigrants, and African Americans, this paper develops the theory of manipulative deflection, the central tenet of which is the subjective experience of deprivation that diminishes the construction of a holistic Black identity and produces confusion and conflict among Blacks in the United States.

@Mel Hopkins which episode a do you mean? Also i am not knowledgeable enough to have a strong position. Anthropology and genetics is not my area of knowledge.

Isn't there a Black Aesthetic that transcends time and place?Which comes across both verbally and non verbally. Have you seen non Black people pull off African or even Afro American clothing. Same thing with cadence slang and tonality in speech. Does Wesley Snipes seem more Black than Denzel Washington. Meek Mill versus Drake. I am not certain where I would put Eminem. He doesn't try and sound black but he loves hip hop in a way that Jay Z doesn't. Eminem loves hip hop Jay Z loves hustling. In. my opinion

Why do you ask.? EMO was founded by John Johnson and Linda Johnson was the CEO of an on for a few years.

Johnson Publishing CEO Linda Johnson Rice has dropped her other job as head of Ebony Media Operations, which her company formerly owned. Johnson Rice stepped down in March as CEO of Ebony Media Operations, said Michael Gibson, chairman of investment firm CVG Group, which bought the Ebony and Jet publishing unit in 2016. Gibson said he took on the Ebony Media CEO role and is moving ahead with the strategy laid out earlier alongside Johnson Rice, who returned to lead the Ebony magazine publisher in March 2017, after CEO Cheryl Mayberry McKissack exited. Johnson Rice, who remains chairman emeritus at Ebony Media, said today that she never planned on staying in the role long term and referred questions about the business to Gibson. “For us, it just wasn’t that big of a deal,” she said. https://www.chicagobusiness.com/marketing-media/johnson-rice-exits-ebony-ceo-again See who funded EMO and who is CVG.

That's the implication of my statement

You are missing my point.

Or the beginning?

Has it been sold

Yep

The irony is that maroon also means brown. In Switzerland it means chestnut. So Pioneer is indeed a Brown nut.

Bastids are you a native New Yorker? @Mel Hopkins

You would think my posting it twice with two spellings and an explanation would make it clear that i know the difference between maron and maroon and moron. Not even the Bugs Bunny quote helped. Okay guys.

are calling yourself a maron? History and Etymology for maroon Noun (1) Perhaps someone else can explain this to you. Not understanding won't impede you or anyone else.

Perhaps you will have better luck emailing her than I did. @Troy

maroon noun (1) ma·roon | \ mə-ˈrün \ Definition ofmaroon (Entry 1 of 3) 1capitalized : a fugitive black slave of the West Indies and Guiana in the 17th and 18th centuriesalso : a descendant of such a slave 2: a person who is marooned So you are either are runaway slave lost or a chestnut. But you are not a Free Man by definition. I stand corrected Bugs Bunny didn't say maron.

I could be wrong but I don't think thats a title Mel aspires to based on her comments. Clearly I am not speaking for her I am just guessing or presupposing.

You are calling yourself a maron? History and Etymology for maroon Noun (1) probably from French maron, marron feral, fugitive, modification of American Spanish cimarrón wild, savage
