P. Diddy proclaims "black power" on national TV. Was it racist?

P. Diddy is so ignorant and his name is so dumb, also he makes horrible music.

Morgan Freeman has been used in posts on this thread which I found fascinating. He suggests stop talking about it, meaning racism. Nothing's solved by not talking about the ills of a nation (in this case racism). It's like mental illness, how will the mentally ill get help if they can't talk about the cause of their mental illness for fear it may implicate or upset persons (situations) that had a hand directly or indirectly in the creation of their condition? What we have here is a society that opts to medicate rather than deal with the causes of a problem. The problem remain it's just no talking about it so nothing solved.

Yeah I understand that. But, talking about a thing, constantly bringing it up gives it power. just as an experiment, I'm going to remove someone's race from the equation when I talk to people. I'm not going to say "I'm black", or, "you're white", for instance, because these things really don't need to be said, unless you're giving a description to law enforcement and they ask it directly. think about it. why do you need to describe people that way? If I see a twinkie, I know it's a twinkie. I don't have to point to it and say "you're a twinkie". I just buy the #ing thing and eat it.

Damn. Now I want a twinkie

Diddy is part of the Boule. He actually likes his white masters more than his black brothers and sisters, don't be fooled by that act.

yes, it treats people as racial groups, not individuals, so if you want to support this racist stance, it is up to you

Advocating for the rights of a race that has been oppressed is not racist, because it is not a negative act of discrimination against a race.

Or do you really think other races are missing out on something if the rights of an oppressed race are advanced?

-rrr

Its amazing how the dishonesty on this site full of racists continues.

Yelling out "black power", which stands for black empowerment, has a totally different context and meaning as compared to some redneck or skinhead yelling out "white power", which means white anglo saxon rule over "minorities" including blacks, hispanics, asians, indians, jews, etc, but I'll let the klansmen and stormfronters that pollute ATS tell it.

My bottom line is I treat everyone equally without regard to color, creed or religion.

P. Diddy is clearly not treating everyone equally without regard to color.

Just because P. Diddy comes from a minority doesn't give him the right to discriminate against people who are not black.

That's racist.

You seem upset. May I suggest checking out stromfront dot org to find others who feel the same way as you do?

And your ignorance is commendable.

ah, your kind. Care to tell me what my kind is?

I love when I say that there are a bunch of racists on ATS, and then the racists that actually do post on here come rushing to prove me correct

what did i say that was ignorant your view that your still opressed is ignorant

when was the first race war? I must have missed that one

Originally posted by R3velutionR3quired

who is oppressed? I was just clearly stating that there is a difference between the terms "white power" and "black power"

and the fact that you assume that I am "black" because of my commentary makes you lot look pretty bad you guys are so racist its funny. The ignorant are good entertainers.

ATS is nothing more than a fringe right wing circle jerk for angry white men with guns.

Exuse me but is saying white power is different to black power not ignorant, because there are extremists in both black power and white power movements, the arrayn nation actually worked with the panthers for a while because they agreed the common problem was the zionist jews?


my point is im white why can i not be proud of that without being called racist?

Yet my son is mixed race.

I notice that you often get your posts deleted for being obnoxious and appear to be, how do I put it, just a tiny bit biased against white people...

Looks like I walk the walk, while you are the not so closet (or so clever) racist against white people.

reply to post by R3velutionR3quired


who said that you shouldn't be proud of who you are?

But trying to twist a term that stands for black empowerment, not discrimination, into the same category as a term that stands for hatred and discrimination, is beyond ignorant, and I will call it as such.

Time to crank it down eh?
