jroday,
while i understand what you are saying i don't agree (maybe I just don't agree with the whole theory, the whole chris rock think I don't agree). i don't believe in the two kinds of black people (or two kinds of any people) theory.
it to me is semantics, a person who uses the term "nigger" or even "nigga" white, black or whatever, has a warped view.
the black person who uses it feel that there is a certain behavior that will make the âmainstreamâ accept them, not understanding that person that thinks there are âtwo types of black peopleâ aren't open and will never accept them or anyone else, itâs ignorant, uneducated, a power trip, but those people are few and far between.
a white person who feels that there are two kinds of black people feels that most black people are âniggersâ and the good ones they are black, they will even test black people to see if they are the black or âniggersâ, you donât test people you view as a peer or an equal, at least not in social situations.
it's sort of like being Jewish and trying not to "act" Jewish so that mainstream America will accept you, people that will have a problem with you because of a stereotype are never going to like you anyway, during WW2 NAZI's didn't gas just the "bad" Jews, the rounded up even the people who didnât go to temple.
the "nigger", "nigga", "two types of black people" thing is simply semantics and someone trying to be clever, all people who use and believe in any of those three theories are pretty much in the same boat in my world.
they always try to dance around and explain, but their are closed minded, unselfrealized people that need help.
there are never just two types of any "group" there are a many types in groups as there are people...
meow,
cat
