Hopefully, over the next couple of days, I will be addressing the following points that I have noticed all throughout my life on what WE think it takes to be considered “black” in America:
#1. Skin tone
#2. Must have two “black” parents
#3. Must have lived in the “hood”
#4. Must hold the belief that all whites have [...]
Yes, according to Alan Lovell of Piedmont college. He discusses how blacks willingly fought for the plantations of the old south. I have also read from multiple sources that blacks did in fact on their own accord fight for the confederacy. We can thank political correctness along with just plain ignorance on our [...]
“I was kind of lynched, so to speak,” said Willie Breazell to the Gazette-Telegraph, when he was forced to resign his post as president of the Colorado Springs branch of the NAACP.
