In addition to the previous message about people of color, yes, I'm on another similar topic.
Black people who use terms like people of color or black and brown people or Black and Latina are still in the mode of khebma ka, kumbaya, can't get enough of that funk faking solidarity stuff.
Hell no!
There's no evidence to support this expectation on a group basis, but plenty ongoing evidence to support the opposite conclusion.
When speaking of something important to them, have you ever heard a so-called “Brown Person” say, Black & Brown People, or Brown & Black People?
No you haven't. They don't think of us when they are thinking about themselves.
Have you ever heard a Latina person say, Latina and Black People?
No, you haven't. They don't think of Black People when talking about themselves.
Does that mean you consider those two groups as equal?
Does your use of a different name mean you Brown People and you Latina People have a different origin than Black People?
I'm fairly certain the answer is yes.Why do you ignore the Human Genome Project?
Just because you have a partially different culture and/or language, doesn't mean you have a different ancestral origin.
All groups of people contain color shade variations.All Black people know black includes brown, yellow, cocoa, chocolate, mocha, butterscotch, mahogany, ebony, coffee, toffee, and so on.
Since Black is inclusive of Brown, who are these Brown People who are not Black People that Black People need to include when talking about Black People?
Similar to Greenlanders, Brown People are clearly saying, we are not Black, we're Brown, we're Latina, Mexican, Pureto Rican, Hispanic, Indian and so on. We don't identify with being Black. We are not the same as Black people. We do not have the same origin. We are Brown People. We ain't Black. Don't think just because we are Brown that we see ourselves as part of the Black Family Tree.
Of course there might be one, two or a few “Brown People” who, from time to time, do right by Black People.
But until you see it, don't believe it, or expect it, and don't extrapolate it beyond that moment or that person.
Speaking words of unproven solidarity with any other group who think they have to deny being Black and also deny being rooted in Africa, shouldn't even be a thought until we have solidarity within our own fractured scattered diaspora.
Be certain that these are IQ lines Black People don't necessarily prefer, but the battle lines have been drawn, so we have to move accordingly to how all groups of Brown People, attack Black People as lesser thans. How all groups of white people, we are not white people and people of color, attack Black People as lesser thans.
Black People, stop saying “Black and Brown People.” We adults got the children saying it. This traps them in unrealistic expectations and causes them to become schizophrenic by dismissing current reality.Stop Meeking Out & Start Speaking Out Pro Black, Unity Consciousness #2923
