That whole "clowning" bit on that thread has done it for me. We all know that to "clown" somebody means to embarrass them and show them up for the fool that they are.

According to some on DU, apparently "clowning" is black men standing around hooting like fucking apes while a man performs certain sex acts on a woman. I fucking cannot abide this shit anymore.

So that goes to show... I'm not sure what, but my family has an affinity for blacks and want them to win.

There are so few people with my last name, that I used to seek out strangers with it. Imagine my mortification when I went to visit a teacher in my high school with the same name and saw she was black. I fled the room, what was I to say?

Something along the lines, of uh, my family gave you that name because they owned you? So that I avoided.

Maybe I missed out on a good thing, but I was ashamed. In the years that followed, since the name was unusual, people from other states called to find relatives as they didn't have their phone numbers, and didn't have the local phone directory with more names. They were all black and some even sent me thank you letters for taking the time to find out where their relative lived and their number.

Why would they bother, if they had the same thoughts I had, or if they were angry about it?

The surname is unusual but I can trace my paternal lineage, name for name, for over a thousand years.

The famous POC can be found by Google, but they are not unknown names culturally. The white ones in the UK are in the Google and history books. Not royals, but 'traveled' together. Scholars, officials, blah, blah. Why do I say blah?

Because I don't know what happened to any of the parallel lines, I got no inherited wealth, we were all workers of one kind or another and satisfied with it. I never felt it made me special, but I knew I had white privilege and my perception of that unearned advantage made me feel uncomfortable. After all there are more important things than what a person can get away with which is how some people use theirs.

The Anglosphere has many of my folk doing well from education, which is a Golden Key. And there is a certain facial resemblance that holds strong through all of them I've seen images of and it's a shame POC have less to go on.

My family told me a lot of the dirt done to blacks growing up. They did good and died young.

To me, check me if I misspeak, but it's why I consider AA's to be the most AMERICAN folk. This is where they come from, believe it or not, in my mind. Other than native americans, this is their country.

I could say some more about white people generally, but I bet it'd get hidden as being 'racist.' I love all the kinds of people as souls... but I don't love all souls, that's the truth.

Very interesting. I never really meet any Black people with my last name, but i find a lot o hispanics with my name. I get Facebook requests from every latin american nation and PR. I've always felt a bit left out, but it's because I have the wrong name.
But with my grandfathers name and my Dad's name there are jus too many lines to trace without DNA. Too many Smith's and Morgan's in the world and I'm probably related to half of them.
I would like to walk down a street with my name. It would be cool.

I'm not good with acronyms and always have a hard time remembering all of these shortcuts. Since this is a forum, I saw nothing wrong with asking what it meant.

Now, for about that bug up your ass... sad for you.

You also completely mis-characterize a land rights issue. However, this thread had NOTHING to do with that so I won't re-debate threads that went on for hundreds of pages.

BTW, I found this thread because I was selected for the jury to shut down one of the posters here (you know, like you like to do). I voted to leave it because I don't believe in censoring free expression that isn't criminal or perverse.

I'm glad you enjoyed the block. But I'm a bit puzzled as to why there is such intense trolling at this time. Perhaps I should be heartened by it.

Is it possible that BlackLivesMatter is really getting under the skin of these folks coming now?

Mine grows out of my scalp and that shit hurts!

I've got another well meaning person upset because I'm not bowing down to a woman I just - ewwwww - She's so not me!

I just can't. Noooo. Audrey Hepburn and Sophia Loren - that's who I look up to amongst white celebrities. Note - neither one is/was an American. Much like Igloo - but Audrey and Sophia kept shit real!

I look so forward to when Hillary supporters go back to the race triolling they did in 2008, because it is obvious the racists will be reayd to hit the high notes when the curtian rises. This is a fine example.

by the backdoor racists that sooner or later end up showing their true colors. This place is just like the demographics of the rest of amerikkka, and fear of losing white privilege is usually at the bottom of a lot of racial defensiveness and slick offensiveness.....no change in that element since I started fighting white ignorance, stupidity and racist hate in the 60's. Take it as a badge of distinction and affirmation that you struck a cord of truth that hurt the undercover people always denying when their denial consistently rings so hollow and fake. The day I leave this site, is the day I will put all my suspicions of just who they all are. Hang in there.
