Yes, I really wish this Marque Anthony clown will go somewhere with this whole, “we are not black” crap. You can tell his feelings were hurt when people used to call him blacky as a child. Address that with your family and friends and stop spamming everyone else’s blog posts. You the type of disrespectful negro that make it hard for other blacks to have intelligent conversation.

Why do you keep harping on the word black bro. Its ingrained in our speech but not in our minds. We are not all African. Afrique was the first Roman capitol of European domininance named after Scipio Africanus, a Roman governor-general-emperor because the Romans allowed their conquerors to name the lands they conquered, so African American is a misnomer as well. Original Man is better or indigenous. That is more accurate and doesn’t have any misnomers. You do this everytime someone mentions black and misses the whole point of the article. The Jews arent the real Jews but we as blacks know when you say ” JEW” it means Eastern European Ashkenazi wannabe Hebrew. So please we are all tired of your “We Are Not Black Campaign” Lets talk real black issues and bidness instead of irrelevant arguments MARQUE ANTHONY

Neither are black. Scientifically black is not even a color. Did you know that?

What’s sad is that we African Americans are still calling ourselves BLACK because Caucasian oppressors called us that to contrast their color and to assign to us all the negative things BLACK is equated with in the dictionary. The fact is, like it or not and believe it or not, YOU ARE BROWN and your car tires are black. You can say black is a culture but when they deal with you, they deal with you based on it’s definition – dismal, gloomy, dark, diabolical, treacherous, devoid of light. WAKE UP AFRICAN AMERICANS. We do not call the Asian yellow man because he would not stand for it. We do not call the Native American a red man because he would not stand for it. We do not call the Hispanic man a brown man because he would not stand for it. And many Africans, Haitians and Jamaicans do not accept being called a color they know they are NOT.
Ironically, African Americans are the only ethnic group/race on the planet which allows ourselves to be called a color we are not, allowing ourselves to be defined by color, by someone else and to allow ourselves to be attached to a color we are not – a color they filled with negative denotations. Then we fight to help keep the lie in place. Is it any wonder that cops treat us as BLACK people by the definition of dismal, gloomy, treacherous, evil etc? We will never rise and overcome as a people if we allow other groups to define us, to define us with a lie and we are sadly willing to help them. AFRICAN AMERICAN LIVES MATTER PEOPLE. Black is the color of my car tires, not my skin. I am a family and relationship counselor who specializes in deprogramming African Americans from slavery mindsets.
