daniellegfny Posted February 17, 2022 Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 I had a conversation about the word Mulatto. This brought me to revisit these essays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfD Posted February 17, 2022 Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 The term mulatto is as outdated and offensive as colored. The ideas black intellectuals floated 120 years ago have amalgamated with varying degrees of success. Individual AfroAmericans have made significant gains over a century but collectively, we still have a long way to go. To date, there is still no AfroAmerican infrastructure in place to insure self-sufficiency and maintain wealth. If white folks stopped hiring and patronizing AfroAmericans, the unemployment rate and poverty rate would hit 75% easily. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To who? Why are not more connections with Africa being made. More importantly, it’s because of term Mulatto that we know many people of history were in fact Black. Like Pushkin and Dumas.

The phrase people of color is not offensive because it encompassses folks from all over the planet. IMO, AfroAmericans need to build better connections among themselves before reaching out to other groups of people. Africans have a whole continent and still have problems getting along among themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProfD Posted February 19, 2022 Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 The cultural differences between black folks do not make it impossible to find a basis in unity. However, it has to be taken into account because culture and experience do shape how people deal with each other. I'm working through it in my own family. Some of the older Africans have to be reprogrammed in how they view AfroAmericans. The Americanized Africans not so much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a huge proponent of black self-sufficiency, excellence, pride and awareness. In the same way that Jews will never let anyone forget about the holocaust and/or come at them sideways, I don't believe black folks should ever believe white supremacy does not exist.

Are you so blind that you can’t see the lie you are promoting? There is no white supremacy, never had been. It’s the same concept of White Jesus. You are confining yourself to an inferior position.

Unlike the fairy tale that religion promotes, the system of white supremacy is on full display. There are many people who either fail to understand what it is and how it works or they choose to bury their heads in the sand and/or walk around wearing rose-colored glasses.

You think you have discovered something that people can’t understand, but you have not taken the time to dig deeper. First, it isn't my style to insult or attack anyone on a forum, therefore I have not stated that anybody is inferior. Nor am I suggesting that I've made a discovery that others do not understand. However, as a victim of the system of white supremacy, I'm qualified to state that it does exist. It doesn't require a whole lot of digging to unearth it.
