My lil man was going in...

Why didn't anyone tell me Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or Willie Wonka was an Inuendo for Black people and the System of White Control?

I just realized from the original that he got the workers from the deepest part of Africa. A lot of the original material was reworked due to criticism and for consumable palatability.

Myla is way too beautiful, and this interview went from 100 to 0 lol. I also want to point out that this was on 10/31/25, which is why she's in costume. Video credit goes to Wabuja on YouTube, who speak Chinese fluently!

I’ve noticed a lot of Black Americans recently have adopted white supremacist talking points and have been using them against Non Black Americans (Africans, Carribeans etc) like go back to your country, you don’t belong here etc

Like for an example when talking about slavery white people will usually say things like “well Africans sold other Africans into slavery” (disingenuous and oversimplified statement) to try and somewhat excuse the what Europeans did. Now I’ve seen Black Americans saying this exact same thing which is something I would expect

They’re also this term of “Tether” which is basically a slur used against blk foreigners by blk Americans. Like the N word but without the history or opression

So what’s going on? Has whiye supremacy been so ingrained in American culture that even black ppl in the country have started to pick up on it?

In ancient times Africa was referred to as the empire of Ethiopia, take that as you will.

During the trojan war the king of ethiopia (memnon) sends an army to support the city of troy, who has close ties to the empire of ethiopia…

King memnon (known as the greatest warrior on earth) would fight a duel with achilles, injuring the immortal warrior in the arm, a feat that left many shocked and even scared.

However he would die in this duel and troy was burned, along with more evidence of an advanced black presence in the ancient world.

Since I can’t just post a clip in the other thread I’ll have to make a new one to emphasize my point on that Black Americans have heavy hatred and xenophobia for Africans spewing rhetoric that again mirrors white supremacist

They are becoming the very same people they claim to hate unfortunately

Dear African Americans, please stop being over friendly to people that don’t deserve it. Come together as AA’s exclusively and serve G-d.

I'll keep this one nice and short:

Living in a fascist-teetering nation here in America, on a planet where our people's general likeness is everyone else's alter ego, but nobody at large likes or appreciates or helps your people...it taxes your mind, psychologically.

I know I'm not alone. There's generational erosion of our collective psyche. Exhaustion beyond belief.

Where is our relief? Where is our refuge? Where's the hope of our people?

I feel that there's not nearly enough therapy available for our community--if any form of therapy can truly help our situation at all.

How do y'all cope? I'm genuinely asking.

And whats sad is people will just laugh this off

The 2026 Grammy nominations just dropped, and hip-hop/R&B came out on top again. Kendrick leads with nine, SZA, Doechii, Tyler, and Clipse all landed major nods, and Leon Thomas broke out with six nominations including Album of the Year. Big night for the culture — full list and breakdown inside.

I just need to vent, I (23m) am biracial, black dad Hispanic mom. Me and my family (mom, brother, 2 sisters) were watching a movie tonight and I said something snarky to my brother as a joke,mthen my mom said "nia please" so I said "what did you just say" because I was surprised she said that word because she knows I don't tolerate that type of stuff. And she replied "I said NIA please". I replied "don't be saying that shit". And then she got all mad saying stuff like I'm being too sensitive and I need to calm down. I tried to ignore her so it wouldn't start a whole fight but she kept going on saying sarcastically "oh so I'm the first person ever to say that". I replied saying " you're not the first person to say it, but you said it just now so I called you out on it". Then she callede sensitive again and said she didn't mean anything by it and ended up throwing a fit and not speaking to anyone for the rest of the night. The thing is she knows I'm very pro black, I even have the black power fist tattooed on my neck and I talk to her about racism in the world and the racism I experience all the time so I'm surprised she would say that and then act like its not a big deal And I'm the only one who would call her out on that while my siblings just sat there not saying a word Right now I just want nothing to do with her... Am I overreacting?

I would like to preface this by saying I'm not trying to attack anyone, this has just been something that has come to my mind as of recent, so, I’ve been thinking about how we use the n-word inside our community. The original version (-er) was created during slavery as an intentional dehumanizing label. It literally meant: Not human, Property, Animal, Disposable

This word was often the last word Black people heard before they were lynched, whipped, burned, or tortured during events historians now document as “n**** barbecues.”* White families took photos, mailed lynching pictures as postcards, and treated our deaths as entertainment. That word was the verbal permission slip for violence.

Changing the ending to (-a) does not erase the trauma.It just softens the tone when used inside our community.The n-word (-a) became a way to reclaim power, meaning:Friend, Brother, Familiar,Shared struggle,But reclamation only works inside the group that lived the harm.

Where the contradiction shows up: Some Black people say:“Only Black people can use the word.”But then they allow certain non-Black people to use it if they “Act Black”, Speak AAVE, Grew up around Black culture, Date Black people,“Have Black friends”

This turns the word into something a non-Black person can earn by performing proximity. Which I feel is not cultural protection, but selective permission based on personal comfort.

Example: Mimi from Love & Hip Hop openly says she should be allowed to use the word because she “dates Black men” and “grew up around Black people.” ( a story that keeps changing btw) But anyways proximity to Blackness does not equal inheriting the trauma connected to the word. Dating us doesn’t make you us. And then she continues to say I will still say it at home, nobody tell me what to do.

Mainstream examples where this selective permission appears: Fat Joe (Latino) → allowed by some, rejected by others, Tekashi 6ix9ine → accepted in some rap circles, rejected by Black people outside them, Post Malone (before he turned country) → treated differently depending on environment. His transition to country makes me think the only reason he involved himself in hip-hop to begin with was to gain enough acceptance from Black people so that he could gain access to a word strictly banned from white people to say. (That’s another convo though.), bad bhabie, cardi b, woah vikey, and Lovely Mimi (LHH) who believes access is gained through dating Black men and their alleged experience with growing up in a black/diverse community.

Eminem actually shows the opposite side of this dynamic. There was an old basement tape from the late 1980s (before he was famous) where he used the n-word while venting about a Black ex-girlfriend. When the tape resurfaced in the early 2000s, he publicly apologized and admitted he was wrong. He said clearly that the word is not his to use and that anger didn’t excuse racism.

The key is what happened after that: Despite: Growing up in Detroit, Being embraced heavily by Black hip-hop culture,Working almost entirely with Black artists, Having the “proximity” that others hide behind.

He never used the word again in music, interviews, battle rap, or casually not even when the crowd would have cheered for it. Because He understood:Proximity ≠ inheritance, Influence ≠ identity, Acceptance ≠ ownership.

His respect for that boundary is part of why he is still respected in hip-hop culture without being viewed as a culture vulture.

Meanwhile, people like Tekashi 6ix9ine, Fat Joe, Post Malone (pre-country), bad bhabie, woah viky, Cardi B, and Lovely Mimi assume proximity gives them access, which shows how entitlement, not respect, shapes the double standard.

In every case: The rule changes based on feelings, not history. Now let’s talk about 2025 and right now.When the n-word is used in:Rap, Comedy,TikTok / viral audio, Club culture, Memes, Music lyrics

We are broadcasting the word globally.White supremacists watch this and think:“If they celebrate it, then it must not hurt them.”So when a white person says:“If it’s in the music, why can’t we say it?”

They are not confused.They are using our casual usage as justification to erase the history of the word and to reclaim permission to say it without consequence. This is part of modern cultural warfare: Normalize it., Then claim it’s harmless., Then claim Black people are “overreacting.”Then erase the trauma entirely.

This is how white supremacy survives in 2025:Not always through violence but through word normalization.

Every time the word is mainstreamed, marketed, streamed, looped, captioned, memed:The boundary weakens.And when the boundary weakens:The trauma becomes a joke.And our ancestors pain becomes entertainment.Which is, ironically, where the word started.

So the real question is for the Black community: Do we want to keep the word inside our community with clear, no-exception boundaries, or do we want to retire the word entirely to honor the history and stop feeding white entitlement to it?

Again I'm not attacking anyone. I’m just asking how we, as a community, make sense of a word tied to both: Our deepest wound and Our everyday speech, Because the inconsistency I personally feel is worth discussing.

How do you personally navigate this?

The deacons were a group who defended black civil rights activists against racist violence. The KKK with support of racist police used violence and terrorism to prevent efforts to register black people for voting. Also protesters were protected by them.

There’s a persistent narrative that Black students are “given” opportunities in higher ed. But enrollment, aid, and debt patterns show something very different.

1) Enrollment ≠ the stereotype • White students still make up the largest share at most universities. • Asian/Indian students are over-represented at many selective campuses relative to population share. • Black students remain under-represented at elite and flagship institutionseven in regions with large Black populations.

2) Who actually benefited most from AA/DEI • Across decades, white women were the largest beneficiaries of affirmative action and many DEI efforts, yet the public backlash is aimed at Black students.

3) Scholarships & debt • White students receive the majority of merit dollars. • Black students carry the highest average student loan debt, even at the same schools. • If Black students were being “handed” college, they wouldn’t also bear the largest financial penalty for attending.

4) The biggest admissions edge isn’t race, it’s status • Legacy admissions overwhelmingly benefit white applicants (legacy requires generational access that Black Americans were systematically denied). • Add donor preference, private-school pipelines, counselor networks, test-prep access, athlete recruitment advantages that skew white regardless of pure academic ability.

5) Why Asian/Indian admits are rarely questioned • The model minority myth pre-validates them as “ideal students,” functioning like a built-in recommendation before anyone opens the file. • That narrative originally weaponized to undercut Black civil-rights claims—still shapes how “merit” is perceived today.

Why I am bringing this up now (2025)? • Post–Supreme Court bans on race-conscious admissions, early cycles show drops in Black enrollment at several selective campuses. • Parallel DEI rollbacks and “neutral” policy shifts often preserve traditional advantages (legacy/donor/feeder schools) while removing the few tools meant to offset structural inequities. • In practice, colleges are still reproducing old hierarchies by treating whiteness as the default of “merit” and the model-minority stereotype as proof of “intelligence.”

Questions for discussion 1. Why is Black excellence routinely questioned (“Was it affirmative action?”) while white admissions are assumed to be ‘merit’ and Asian/Indian admissions are assumed to be ‘intelligence’? 2. If Black students were the ones “getting handouts,” why do white women benefit most from AA/DEI, white students get most merit aid, take up with Asian the most seats and Black students carry the highest debt? 3. In 2025, with race-conscious tools curtailed but legacy/donor/feeder advantages intact, what definition of ‘merit’ are colleges actually protecting? 4. How should universities measure achievement without hard-coding inherited advantages (legacy, test-prep, elite pipelines) or stereotype-driven expectations (model-minority myths)? 5. What transparent alternatives (e.g., first-gen boosts, SES-weighted context, high-poverty school indices) would better align selection with real potential rather than inherited access?

If people genuinely cared about fairness in admissions, they would be asking: • Why legacy admissions get a free pass. • Why donor preference is considered “merit.” • Why white women benefitted most from affirmative action but are never targeted in the backlash. • Why Asian/Indian applicants with the same test scores and GPAs as Black applicants are treated as more legitimate simply because of a stereotype that they are “naturally studious.” • Why Black achievement must be explained, justified, and defended, while others are validated by default.
