I found Heavenwood's post so amusing that I decided to create one of my own. Ask a real live black chick anything! Don't be shy, now, ask away!
Btw, if you are having an 'off' day or an 'off' life, please don't ruin the fun.

Do you think that Bush hates Black people?

Do you think that Bush hates Black people? No, I don't. Like any other politician, I believe that he cares for and caters to his supporters. He wouldn't cater to those who don't support him, but I don't think that means he has a special emnity towards them. |

As a black woman do you dream of a blond, muscular nordic riding to your aid, with a rose in his mouth and a sparkle in his eye, whisking you off into the glorious sunset?
I should stop reading my mother's romance novels.
Oh, do black women actually go on and on about each other's skin tone like in "Jungle Fever"?

Actually, when I'm attracted to a man who is not black, he usually is swarthy and dark-haired. I haven't ever dated 'white' men, though, two Jews, however. I don't know what's the policy on this board about white and non-white, I know that some boards don't classify Jews as 'white'.
As for the other question, I don't know what you are talking about; I have never seen 'Jungle Fever.'

Have you seen any other Spike Lee movies?
They all are good IMO.

I haven't seen the film in the longest time but I think I'm incorrect in my initial post. The scene actually was about black women discussing how black men choose white women over them.
But I've heard, from many sources, that light skin blacks are preferred over darker blacks. One of those sources being Malcolm Xs' autobiography.
And Jews are Caucasoid. I think every regular on this forum would agree on that. Those boards that don't classify Jews as white are the stormfront types where an agenda is the norm.

Why do some (okay, most) African Americans feel the need to speak with an "urban" accent?

Preferred by whom? I know that my sister's friends, both dark-skinned, get treated pretty badly compared to my younger sister, who is fair, when they enter an upscale store, or a downtown store. For example, she went with one of the girls to Macy's to buy jewelry. When the girl adressed the white sales person, they kept looking at my sister to answer. The girl eventually gave up and my sister did most of the talking. My sister told me a similar story about her other friend.
Among black people, I hear from my mother that her brother, was teased for being light skinned; they called him 'high yeller'. An older friend of mines remembers being called 'tar baby' because she was so dark. Personally, I have heard ribbing about skin tone amongst the kids I hung out with, but it wasn't serious stuff. I'm getting the impression that the seriousness of colorism has lessened among black people over the past generation.

Caucasoid is a myth, origional jews where Aramid/Armenid not white , and not all jews are white, geographically i think of israel is north north east africa, power to the people and peace to my ethiopian brethren |
