VIDEO: Only a black person can tell this truth

"Some folks is black; some folks is jes' niggers." A black person I know told me that a long time ago. She was talking about the difference between, say, the black men portrayed by Sidney Poitier in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? or Bill Cosby playing Cliff Huxtable, and the black men you see in rap videos, and often later in the dock.

There's always some truth behind stereotypes. Unfortunately, you can't speak the truth about the differences between the two stereotypes any more, let alone use the ninth word of this post. Unless, that is, you're a person of colour, preferably of the female persuasion. Here's a black lady who isn't afraid to say the quiet part out loud. 


Don't be calling her comment racist. This isn't about racial differences. It's about the difference between those who have enough culture and class to act like civilized human beings, and those who don't. Period.
