Chittlin' Talk: Black Enough?

Black Enough?

"Black enough? What the hell does that mean? I have been reading a few articles online about is Obama black enough to pull in the Black vote for being the next president of the USA. Again what the hell does that mean? Is this because he's articulate, dresses well and is intelligent that means he's not Black enough? If you look at that question more closely, then does this mean that to speak badly, dress sloppily and act stupid is to be Black? I don't think so. I have heard 50 cent as well as Juvenile make some awful statements about Oprah and her 'acting white." What does that mean? I guess they want her talk slang and "bust caps" on her talk show. Ridiculous. Troubling times, troubling times. That is all."

If I wanted to be an internationally famous rap artist, I would name myself "Billion Dolla."
50 Cent can shop at a 99 Cent store.

Booker T. Washington said:

"There is another class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs -- partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs....There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who do not want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public."
