| It is time for all those Black women, who have been brain washed by the British media to the extent that they believe the white man is superior to the Black Man, to wake up and return before it is to late. I believe this is just the start of the new order of slavery based on willie lynches theory of how to make a slave, this is what the white man currently doing to us on physcological level

Dillinger, babes, get the 50 per cent of black men to consider coming back and then get to work on the sistren them. Black women make up on 33 percent in mixed relationships.

Prince Hakeem I agree with you.
We need to protest against the negative media image that is protrayed on us. For a brief example lets just take music in the media. Today listening to the radio a song kept getting calls to be rewind, when I stopped and listened to the lyrics a girl is cussing the guy because his not buff and don't wear designer clothes etc . Then the guy cusses her and says she can't get with him because she don't have good hair and is full of sexual diseases.
Second I can't stand the likes of 50 cent on his 21 questions video going to jail and the women must wait for him.......glorifying prison sentences what next. Off all the things he could've used as a theme in his cra*py 21 questions he choose prison life. What a waste of space. Remember they say a picture paints a thosand words well this is stating be proud if your man in inside.
The seed of destruction i.e hating ourselves has been set so deeply its going to take a lot of work to reverse the cycle. Visiting my neice recently who claims she loves RnB yet has pictures of Justin Timberlake all over her walls and her reason is he dances good yet not one picture of Asher. She has pictures of Eminem and says she likes the way he flows with his rapping yet not one picture of Busta Rhymes for example. Thats just music I haven't even touched on tv/films etc.
I have even started to witness amongst teenagers that old brainwashed stupidity of only wanting to date fairer complexion for their partners, I thought this had died out. Its getting worst I have to say I have never heard a black man to get cursed and degraded to such a low level by anyone else but a black women and vice versa we are our worst enimes. Just this weekend alone I can't tell you the amount of times I heard boys running down girls and using that they are too black as one of the reasons.
But back to Dillinger point I have to say its not just Black women being brainwashed its Black men too you must not leave this out.

| The Amazing thing is that the men who go with white women do so because they feel that Black Women have chips(no, not the edible type) on their shoulders and dont know how to treat them with respect many of them have told me that white women do more for them than any black women ever will and that includes the bed work. I find this sad as I would never go with a white women but have started to wander what they could be talking about because my Black princess will do anything for me and I likewise for her, the fact is there are somethings i would not expect my Black Princess to do nor would she expect me to do certain things and that is what i feel is difference between A Black Princess and a white gyal.

@Prince Hakeem: alright I put my hands up to that one I guess I did Sociology for long enough to know the value of statistics. However, I do think that I see it more as Black males being in interacial relationships than Black women. I do find the sentiment of Black women being princesses sweet and the love shown by Dillinger and Mantings is much appreciated. However, if someone makes that choice to be in a mixed relationship then it is purely their choice. The only problem I have with it if someone chooses to date someone else of another race due to misplaced hatred. My main point is that it is one thing to come together but if your choice is to be with someone of another race, then if you fully love and understand yourself, and you are doing it because you genuinely love the person it is cool.
@Mafdet: I do agree with you on the point of slackness however it seems to be on a universal level and I do not think it is a charge that you could simply level at the Black community(all though that is the community that we are concerned with)! As for Curtis Jackson / 50 cent; well shot nine times and been in jail he is representing where he has come from and the things that he has been through. I do not know whether you had the chance to see this programme on BBC2 about America but a lot of the things that they talk about are not a joke (scarily enough) they are very real. True it is a vicious cycle, and you should always strive to transcend the negative. But looking at his life story I am not suprised. There are those who do manage to live a different life e.g Mase http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mase.
However, if you are a parent and allow your child to get involved in the cult of Celebrity, and you allow the television to babysit them for hours on end (as I find a lot of people do) then you are going to end up with Children with a messed up and warped idea of the world.

Dazz Dillinger:
Word is bond son, I think it's time to do a little brainwashing of our own and make our sistaz an offer they CAN'T refuse.
Man you don't know what these white boys be doing to attract them.
They learn how to dance, they buy books on making love and different positions, they take sex hormones and try different goober enlarging techniques!
They MAKE themselves more appealing while most of us just rely on our natural animal attraction...which is superior to them naturally but it's no match when they get outside help.
I've always said that black men in the West are too damn spoiled when it comes to women because for so long we had our choice and it was so easy because most sistaz really weren't attracted to white men physically. But the angrier and more comptetive white men get...and the finer our babiez get...won't be long before they start leaving us in massive amounts. 
It's time for us to RE-LEARN all that ancient sexual and masculine knowledge that we had back in KMT and put it to use before it's too late.
Mafdet:
IZ DAT MY BABY!! 
Where been so long???
I can barely finish this post now.......
The image of the black male has been TOTALLY DESTROYED all over the world.
Most of the sh*t started in the early 90's when white exect started promoting WEST COAST barbarian-rappers who glorified the ghetto gang life and disrespecting women.
Before this, I NEVER heard men use "B*tch and Ho" when talking about women...just like I never heard them talk about low-riders and hittin' switches!
Then all of a sudden EVERY RAPPER was on the radio talking about how he's pimping and macking and slapping his b*tches around...then it started catching on all over the country.
Then sistaz started back-lashing with groups like TLC (No Scrub) and Destiny's Child (Bills-Survior) and now it's an endless circle of hate and mistrust.
If that ain't bad enough...they're importing this sh*t all over the world especially to black communities.
Rarely do we see black men and women loving eachother or making sweet love in the movies or on television...it's all about arguing and mistrust and cussing eachother out over infidelity.
Even these Terry McMillian and other ROMANCE NOVELS are a culprit in this word-bond!
They give young impressionable women like you FALSE IMAGES of what a real relationship is and what to expect so that adds fuel to the fire.
So, the FIRST thing we need to do is gain some control over the MEDIA and show our youth that black men and women CAN love eachother.
Aye, what's up with you and JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE???
When you LEFT here you were talking about that character...now you COME BACK talking about him!
I believe you got a secret THANG for that Micheal Jackson wanna be mutha...

Azaadi when talking on this forum 99% of the time I will make comments in regards to the African race soley. Therefore I am referring to slackness and lack of respect to the African race period. As for 50 cent (should change his name to not worth a damn red cent) to me being shot nine time is one big warning that the life you choose to live is wrong and I stand by my point that it shouldn't be glorified. Infact Kareem hits it on the nail in his post above.
In regards to your last paragraph this is true but although I have alot to say about parenting skills being protrayed today as opposed to how I was raised it still doesn't excuse the level of crap being protrayed about our race in the media. Remember we are not in control of the media unfortunately, so even if the slackest of parents have no objection to their children watching tv listening to music 24/7 it still doesn't excuse the poor contributions from the artists/actors etc that help enforce this negativity. Its not just tv celebrity its everywhere.
A poster called Ramjon wrote a thread stating to look out for programmes reporting crime and notice how there is usually a black passerby in the background, mainly a black male this is cleverly done to play on your mental storage. Don't underestimate those who control the media check it out and open your horizons it will lead you along the path of Freemasonary etc it goes deep very deep. Why because when the Black women is standing next to her black man and both giving each other support that is a force to be reckoned with. They know it thats why its vital to destroy this image and its seems like its working.
Kareem thats exactly what I am saying and I only hit on one form of media "music" I didn't even mention the others like I have said before i.e. it took Denzel to play a bent cop to be awarded an oscar, Halle Berry as you have mentioned only started to get noticed when laying down/kissing up with with actors in films.
Look what they done to Morris Chesthunt and Mehkir Phifer (not sure if I spelled names correctly) two beautiful brothers adored by millions of black women and they have them in a show together near enough around the same time. Even I found myself tuning in just to see these fine brothers gracing my tv, what do they do they put them in ER where Morris gets the chinese/asian doctor pregnant and then Mehkir lust after her like a sick puppy wanting to date her. Guess there are no black female doctors around huh!
But anyway since you decided to get personal I have to say it doesn't give me per se false images I have no idea what your talking about here Kareem, care to elaborate.
As for Justin Timberlake I have to admitt like Eminen I try at every opportunity to turn off my music when these two are aired. I can't stand when black people rate them so much ...how the hell you gonna tell me a white man has conquered and is the best at something YOU created with all the awards they win. They done this sh*t with Elvis Presley and I remember George Michael winning an Emmy for best RnB when Bobby Brown was at the height of his career, Lisa Stansfield winning an Brit Award when Soul to Soul was kicking up the UK with their hits BACK TO LIFE and KEEP ON MOVIN(I know you remember those hits Kareem your not that young and now you have them playing the same game with Justin and Eminen. Plus Justin looks like a damn nasty pervert in the making, couple more years and he is definately Raincoat flasher material getting ready to be let loose on the world.
I am just waiting for the white man to come and take over Ragga and win all the awards,and that will mean they have an artist at the top of all major music categories, notice I said Ragga and not Roots Reggea because Jamaica for one will declare war on the world if this was too happen 
One more thing Kareem I am tired so while reading this please correct all if any spelling mistakes I know how partial you are to my post inparticular

Madfit or Mafdet:
Well you know that through out the 50s, 60s, and early 70s most black music was sung BY MEN AND WOMEN TO EACHOTHER in love or lust.
Check out the dances and how men and women loved to slow dance and most of the dancing involved women and men in close gentle contact with eachother...that's nice...
Hold tight now, look at the late 70s, 80s, and so on.
Look at Funk and Hiphop and the rap generation.
Look how the interest turned AWAY from eachother and TO MONEY and CARS and "SELF" GRATIFICATION with LOVE being left out of the picture or thought of as something weak or something to laugh at.
Then look at the dances during these eras and how people could easily "DO THEY THANG" by themselves.
Now dancing is about who can be the best and draw the most attention to THEMSELVES!! 
Our people are being taught to HATE and DIS-TRUST eachother to the point that we are too afraid to open up to one another.
A lot of black men think it's WEAK to be in love because you're gonna TRUST your woman too much.
A lot of black WOMEN now are thinking the same...so now you have this lack of trust going on between the 2 preventing real love from forming.
Can't love someone you don't trust enough to open up to.
Then they take it to the NEXT level, "Well, I'll hurt HER before I let her hurt ME".
So now you have the PRE-EMPTIVE STRIKE of sexuality going on where people are so afraid of being hurt and distrust eachother so much that they become PREDATORS and try to avoid BEING hurt by HURTING people...and this is an endless cycle.
I also agree that "50 Cent" is a disgrace and if you asked ME...whoever shot the clown should have finished the job because you have a lot of young cats out here now doing looking up to this fool as a role model and getting killed and hurt THEMSELVES!
The REAL culprit in my opinion was TUPAC!
This fool was a lyrical genius but used his energy and superior charm in a NEGATIVE way instead of POSTIVE and now you have a thousand Tupac "wanna-be a thug" rappers like JaFule, DummyX, and 50-Sux running around in wife-beaters and bald heads glorifying the "thug life" and influencing millions of black men all around the globe into doing the same thing.
If THAT doesn't drive black women way from us...I don't know what will.
Hey kid, remember in the early 90's when the concious rappers made Malcolm X our role model and savior?
Well, the "brotherhood" didn't like this so they GAVE US Tupac and made a Jesus out of him in death for our youth to follow.
I am just waiting for the white man to come and take over Ragga and win all the awards,and that will mean they have an artist at the top of all major music categories,
They already did in the form of Shaggy and Sean-Paul!
These men don't sound any different than there dark-skinned counterparts so why are THEY so popular and winning so many awards?
What most black people in the West...even Caribbeans..don't uderstand is when people like Shaggy and Colin (Colon) Powell go to color-struck nations like Brazil or P*kistan or Korea..they aren't seen as "black" like Oprah or Micheal Jordan...they're seen as their REAL SKIN COLOR which is yellow or almost white...so to promote light skinned artists of ANY MUSIC and have girls slobber over them is STILL enforcing the "lighter\whiter is better" philosopy.
Don't worry about your spelling...when I know it's from you...I don't read it anyway...I FEEL IT!

this sista for one aint believing the hype that all our men are wutless, wannabe gangsters. and no white man will ever convince this sista to lie down with him..because, thats all they want us for, whatever is said about mixed relationships being cool. (The media tells us & shows us its cool, you see so the belief is starting). Sistas all got friends with white partners, or know of a sista with a white man & you check it, their eyes all over you every time they meet you. If one of us available, they think all of us are, see? Now as to the slack rappers, they should all be wasted. They are fools singing of disrespecting women, & black way of life, in a language that is universally understood in the western world. Hence, the impression (to white folk) is that brothas disrespect their women (look, they even sing about how much of a a b***, & h* their women be) so, end result? they disrespect us to, while chasing us for that sexual thrill they heard about. Hardly a life improvement for the sistas. Some brothas got a lot to answer for..I say some, because i believe there are still good brothas out there. Couldnt care less about statistics..we the most studied race in history anyway & there will always be some dumb azz poll to try & show, yet again, how little we value ourselves. Dont believe the hype..black men & women..we are all each other has so we need to learn to live, & love together.Another thing about culture, relationships et al: why black people always the ones to have to integrate & if we dont, we are wrong?if you want to have an all Jewish school hey, its all good..but, a black school? no, we cant have that its segregation! Our music, events etc can just be hijacked and we supposed to just keep our places, not say anything. whats the fear? and why are some of our people so fearful about black pride? We know the white man is there and we are in his land, yes..and, its a bit difficult not to talk to him. But some of us need to lose the mindset that we have to ingratiate ourselves with them to ensure our own survival. Life isnt about that, & black men & women need each other. We need to lose the western ideal that money, material gain (ie. trinkets like designer clothes, flashy mobile phone, car etc) are all we need to get us through life. If we dont build, we cant grow. But like someone has said, the media promoting this as black way of life, black youth seeing it and the disrespect is bred in them from a young age. Whats to do? parents, the educators, must educate. We have to try. This post is loooong! Last thoughts Eminem greatest social commentator/rapper of all time?since when? how come so many black people giving him props. Okay, is all he is as an artiste..some folk acting like he the first rapper! As for Timberlake, oh please..he a white boy so gonna get all the pushing, hyping, etc. just a white boy singing over some good music..which, wasnt given to a black artiste. For now, words fail me.

i agree with the points of views on the white man using the media to make himself the "alpha" male and belittle the black brotha who we all know is far superior in every single way.
BUT i have concerns on what i think is irrelevent material on this forum which is not helping the black cause in any way shape or form.
50 cent and all the other "hardcore" rappers are speaking from life experience and i RESPECT him for that, he is making a lot of money out of the misery of his past, if he wasn't so famous would we HATE on him so much?? young people look up to him and in my view that is a positive thing because the youth will see a different side of life; a darker side ,which they will have to deal with as they grow up in this racist society. It is up to parents/guardians to educate the youth and lead them in the RIGHT direction not rappers.
I agree that the brotha must not give into the "devilish" temptations of the white "woman"who is likely to only be interested in the "lunchbox" and comforming to modern day"have to have" fashion. However we need to address the sistas who "reject" black men as soon as they are rich and famous going under the notion of "white is right". "Traitor" sisters include Denise Lewis, Shaznay Lewis, Naomi Campbell,sade etc etc who as they reach the dizzy heights of fame forget about the poor black BROTHA!!. So in a sense i think it could be considered a bit to faced to just "pick" on the black men when in truth you are no BETTER!

I think there are many reason why Black men and Black women sellout or what I call prostitute themselves to white people. I am not saying also that in some cases love does not play a part, but it is a small percent. What's going on is lust not love. Black women are the new in thing, and white men is pushing the lets mix through media. Look at the series Girlfriend, four black women who are friends, who by the second season, one is getting all ready to marry a white man.
See it just for what it is.
I don't like the idea of mixing, not in the current climate. I remember once an old black man speaking to me in a waiting room. Gazing upon me he said, Moses was not born to be a King in Egypt.. I later began to understand the saying... we are doing nothing short of prostituting ourselves, to gain wealth, a form of power, whereby we can look back on our own as though they have not arrived.
I liked Moses, as soon as he found out, he was the son of the slaves and not the son of the free in that land, Moses set about freeing his people, and numbered himself amongst the slaves.
This is the attitude, we as black people in Britain need to adopt.

@Everyday people
Just read your post and I going to tell you what I tell many I come across that projects the same sentiments as you. FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF OUR RACE STOP BEING PERSONAL AND START BEING LOGICAL its not about men versus women. STOP TALKING BULL CRAP please and trying to promote a battle of the sexes here. Because if that is your game plan then you will not have enough time in the day to read the long list of Black MALE celebrities with their white women partners I could produce.......so please drop that angle it serves no purpose here.
Let me explain for the purpose of my previous post that 50 cents was used as an example there are many out there that I could've said but I used 50 cent and stand by what I wrote. He is not a role model for kids to look up to and you please tell me what part of his tune In da club is educating our youth or 21 questions. There are many out there but I am going to choose KRS1 as an example of a postive rapper who came from a hard life....infact was homeless but still managed to go to school during the day and sleeping in subways by night, washing himself in the school bathrooms.
It strikes me that if you agree with the points on this board so far you will be for postive rappers that can tell you about the hard life but go deeper and tell you why the system has been purposely set up and geared at the black race black man in particular to fail. Thats why you will always find me listening to Common or Mos Def over the likes of 50 worthless cents.
Also you are very much mistaken if you think a rapper loving and promoting thug life and bling bling turns his nose up to sex if it came from a white women......do some research you will find they have subcome to this devilish temptation as you so call it way before we even knew about them via their celebrity status.
Remember this topic was opened up by using phrases such as the "British media" therefore an artist like 50 cent should be addressed as you yourself say young people look up to him. For this very point is why if I could turn back time I would ensure that one of those nine bullets was aimed more precisely or pay for the hitman to have proper firearms lessons concentrating on accuracy. Because its terrible when whites degrade us by damn right destructable when our own does it.
@Zee
Well said sister, but since words are failing you, you go take a well deserved break and when you come back don't forget full stops and paragraph it makes it so much more easier on the eye when reading. ....lol
@ baby......ooops I mean Kareem
Now why you want to play around with my name when you know it oh so well!
Anyway I can always gaurantee on you to fill in the gaps, I didn't want to jump on Sean Paul and Shaggy incase anyone came at me saying I am wrong because they are still black. But yes it has crossed my mind why these two artist have broken through international barriers and won so many awards over other long standing brilliant counterparts, but I certainly didn't and don't want to get into a lightskin versus darkskin war. But your words have not been lost on me I too see and note it.
Don't worry about your spelling...when I know it's from you...I don't read it anyway...I FEEL IT!
If I didn't know any better Kareem I'd say you was flirting with me...........................again

@mafdet
"Brotha" can you really not comprehend a text?? I think you truly do not understand my point. I am not trying to create a battle of the sexes, but instead stating a valid point that their is two sides to every argument. If you are going to put ALL the blame on brothas and not sisters you are clearly deluding yourself. Of course black men date outside their race(50%) as seen above(for the record i have read the other posts!!)BUT SISTAS DO TOO. They are not innocent!!!!
And moving onto 50 cent i respect him and other rappers who are "keeping it real" We as a people do not need rappers such as common to GUIDE our kids WE parents and guardians have to GUIDE our kids. I also do not know why you included the "bling bling" and rappers dating white girls. Where did that come from??, i did not mention that. "in da club" is a rap/pop song for the club, take it with a pinch of salt. Music needs to be listened to rather than talked about.
remember knocking another brotha i.e. 50 cent is not helping the cause!!!

@Kunjufu
brotha i am sooooo glad that you are curious. What i mean by "keeping it real" is not conforming to what society deems as exceptable for the young generation. 50 cent among many other rappers is telling it exactly like/was for them before they became famous. The breakdown in the family unit, gangs, crime,poverty,death,racism,drugs the list is endless. It's reality for a number of blacks here and in the states. This reality must not be swept under the carpet, but instead should be heeded,embraced and taken seriously to prevent things like what he and others had experienced not happen in our community or any other. The lyrics are cries for help:society and youth please take not, if you are not careful this could happen to you!!. Youth of today are not STUPID, they need to be exposed to both the happy/lighter parts of life as well as the darker sides of life.
THERE IS NO CENSORSHIP IN REAL LIFE!!!!

Everyday people: I understand your perspective, however does there not come a point when 'keeping it real' becomes 'keeping it glamorous'. Don't get me wrong I love 50 cents, but it does seem to me that instead of champaigning against the reality that many of us suffer.
Some rappers and record companies are now shamlessly selling this 'reality' as something to somehow aspire to.. Personally I have a big problem with this and with people black or white who try to promote this aspiration..on this tip whilst I like 50 cents I'm not happy with the way he or his record company glamorises the fact that he got shot 9 times, as a badge of honour...
You can tell me if I'm wrong but how does it fight the system if we are not only giving up our future, but also pushing our future towards the gencide of shooting ourselves for 'respect', to promote the cheapening of our women? is that 'keeping it real' or is it as I suspect 'keeping it stupid'or 'keeping us down'!!!

kunjufu, i'm afraid i find your posts hypocritical, i get the impression that you think 50 and the like are only rapping for personal gain i.e.money and that we should not respect them. Yet you say you LIKE 50, IM CONFUSED!!! Why do you like him??? please inform me!.
50 in my opoinion does not glamorise being shot 9 times. The MEDIA focus on this one element of his character and blow it way out of proportion. IT'S a catchy headline, and if 50 chooses to use this to help sell records GOOD ON HIM i would too. Remember music is a BUSINESS hence music business record companies are there to make MONEY. Im fore brothas making money, are you???

Everyday people: I'm quite clear that I like the beat behind 50 cent, I also see the poignancy behind his last tune 21 questions... However liking a man does not mean i have like everything about him or that I have to agree with everything about hiom..nor might i add does it mean that I blinded to the bulls.hit either...
I don't disrespect 50 cent for making money, thats his porogative..but please don't then try and feed me the line that he is 'keeping it real'..he aint he's making money simple good for him.. Also please don't insult my intelligence the MEDIA doesn't glamorise the 9 shots he does as a selling point for himself.. The media and the artist work hand and glove with each other to wash each others backs.. My point here is that regardless of whether I like him or not, HE has a responsibility if he is 'keeping it real' NOT to glamorise or to be seen to be glamorising something that is killing us faster than racism itself..guns and drugs..Am I wrong?
I'm for Brothers making money, but not at the expense of my children or my community at that point people that try to ride our backs to make a quick buck..are no better than the KKK end of!!!
