Every year, I do a post about Black History Month. A lot of people have loved it, and a lot of other people have gotten mad as hell and told me to stick to making music. Last year's post entitled 10 things my White Friends should do for me during Black History Month became so popular that it ended up being featured on The View. That's right, girls and boys... Whoopi Goldberg gave me props. (I can't believe I haven't worked that into a song somehow...yet.) Anyway, in the spirit of tradition, I give you my third annual Black History Month blog. Black History Month is a time to acknowledge the struggles and triumphs of African Americans and our contributions to the world. In this country, we are slowly growing to learn that our cultural differences are not something that should divide us, but something that we should embrace and viciously make fun of each other about. So to celebrate this special time of the year, here are 10 things that my White friends better not discuss with anybody, AT ALL, during the month of February:

1. Don't remind people that President Obama is biracial. Look, White homey. If he's partially Black, that makes him Black.

2. Don't gripe about the unfairness of Whites not being able to say the n-bomb.

3. Don't mention the fact that the dude who ate the other dude's face was Black.

4. Don't talk to me about how so many rappers are a "bad influence."

5. Don't remind me that White girls have *sses now.

6. Don't share your thoughts on the latest news clip featuring a Black person that got remixed and became a Youtube sensation.

7. Don't bring up people who "went Black and then went back."

8. Don't mention Shawty Lo's television special.

9. Don't b!tch about the president being friends with a rapper

10. Don't even mention the term "reverse racism" to me

-------------------

And I bet she would want me to respect her.

Irreconcilable differences would keep us apart.

And to think that our country and her ancestors, so to speak fought hard to get rid of the "one drop" laws and perspective, and the true racism it represented. SMH.

I infer "separate, superior and protected" from her.

How is her perspective POSSIBLY constructive?

I don’t even understand half of these. I guess one needs to watch a lot of TV to understand what this person is talking about!

Is “uppity” the proper adjective?

Time for my “what racism is” clarification.

Racism IS: Judging a person or group as superior or inferior due to genetic differences from another group, usually with regard to skin melanin expression.

Racism IS NOT: Judging a person or group as superior or inferior due to cultural or behavioral differences from another group.

7. Don't bring up people who "went Black and then went back."
10. Don't even mention the term "reverse racism" to me

And don't bring up Michael Jackson:

"You could argue that his ever more pallid complexion made him the pithiest shorthand for pop’s history: in splendid contrast to Little Richard and Pat Boone, he was the first black singer to become his own lucrative white cover version."

IT’s just flabbergasting — because of the color of my skin, and my chosen morals and behaviour, I am not allowed to say certain words, discuss certain topics, or hold certain opinions. Until SHE says so?

She thinks she or “they” deservedly HAVE that power?

Incredulous.

The black “clergy” have a lifetime immunization against embarrassment.

One day they can agitate for adopting every Great Society program, and the next feign cluelessness when the illegitimate welfare spawn run wild in the streets.
