Quick question, but Im sure there aren't any simple answers... When are you black enough to represent the entire race??
No one person can represent an entire race.
Thats true for Whites and other races..But for the black community one person CAN represent the entire race..
Unfortunately, we get knuckleheads to represent us through the media like Ron Artest and Youngbuck... :wink:
Anytime blacks want a positive speaker who represemts us??? Jesse Jackson :roll:

Sho'll can't. It took MLK and Malcolm X to represent us and what we stood for....and they didn't even agree with each other. No 1 person can represent us, because some want freedom through peace, and others would rather fight for it. MLK wanted peace. Malcolm said by "any means necessary."

I know this is probably a lil spinoff from the black miss world contestants thread and how some of them weren't considered "black enough". Like i said in that thread, i don't think that skintone, hair texture, or background can be a determination of the degree of your blackness. True, society plays a big part in manipulating the masses into believing what is "beautiful". But we need to learn how to step outside of that and support each other regardless of what mainstream America deems as acceptable . The problem with our people is the whole "crabs in a barrel" syndrome. We're so quick to want to pull each other down, even when one seems to be making it out. Truth of the matter is...black is black is black. Black is no one thing, no one person, and no one idea.

that's tru as hell....even the 2 greatest (modern) leaders the black race as had couldn't agree on some s**t. It's not a knock on black culture it's is just impossible for 1 person to rep an entire race.....any race. not to say they didn't get along they just had different experiences and saw a different means to the same goal.
Its the same way with white people. You couldn't pick George "Dubya" Bush to represent ALL white people. The northern people would say that they wouldn't want a redneck as a representative. You couldn't pick Howard Dean to represent ALL white people because the humble southern conservatives would take offense to some wild "non-southern" dude representing their race. The idea may not be impossible to do, but its highly unlikely that an ENTIRE RACE OF PEOPLE would agree on 1 sole person as their representative.
But I do think 1 object can represent the Black race.....HAIR GREASE!!
