... the other Black experience
!!! AGAINST THE GRAIN: POST YOUR UNPOPULAR OPINIONS !!!
It's BACK!
An all time great thread from the AP 1.0 foundation.
Massive props goes to the originator Onomatrix who brought us this powerful forum, inspired by by a forum on Playahata.com (if I'm correct). Ono, get on here and set it off with your unique perspective.
Objective: express the opinions that would normally get your run out of town if vocalized or presented. Example:
= Obama is not the best candidate but he's all we've got
= Black folks are our own worst enemy
= Women are too emotional
= Men are too emotionless
= Censorship is a good idea
= All women with perms hate their natural selves
= All men with dreads date white women
= Folks under 30 don't know anything about good music
= Chocolate owns vanilla
= J-Dilla couldn't touch Premeir, Large Pro, Pete Rock or Dre
...and so on (disclaimer: all the above examples do NOT represent my personal views, one or two maybe...).
This is not a place for full on debate & violent conflict, but please be free in how you express. And keep the page long flame-wars to private messages and off the boards.
Ready? Let's go!

Here's an unpopular opinion; the Afropunks under 30 owe a goddamned debt of gratitude to the Afropunks over 40. It's one thing to have a mohawk in 2011. It was another thing completely in 1980.

I wouldn't say bum. I would say a very successful Machievellian Republican-plant.

Degress don't mean shit, unless they are MD's or engineering degrees. To think that you are going to succeed because of a degree is silly. Especially if you are a person (afropunk) that doesn't fit in enough to work the system/step on necks.

The only people that those opinions would be unpopular to are people that wouldn't listen long enough for you to even get it out of your mouth. The idea that there is something beyond blind materialism is something that comes with the same self-evaluation that that would allow those words to enter through the veil. It's like talking to a fucking caveman sometimes...

Well said El, Mota, Lesy, and Greggie P.
Set the background, I am on vacation, and sitting at home. Ahem.
There is nothing impressive about how loud your car stereo in that Hummer that you can't afford to put gas in, the fact that you have said Hummer in the first place, how baggy your jeans are or how much you paid for them, how drunk you got at the party, how loud you talk at 4am, how many guhls you ALMOST got at the party. So please, shut the fuck up already.
It's not a coincidence, young 'uns, that the only folks who are impressed by all that dropped out of high school, ain't got no legal job, are dramatic and mean and bitchy and ignorant (even by your own account). Ain't you ever thought of that? No? Don't start complaining about how no-count your "friends" and lovers are: do some inventory and see how you are presenting yourself to world in the first place. You'll get your answer and believe me it ain't gonna be pretty.
Yeah, I'm a bitch for saying it but I'm real ain't I? I am honest because I ain't got time nor patience to be anything but honest. I shall not concoct any stories for you. Seriously, you potentially got the world by it's throat if you make a few changes.
Be careful who you let in your world. Pay attention to what they REALLY all about. Think before you do shit. Like my old homegirl who is now in her early 60's told me many years ago: don't make a permanent decision based on a temporary situation.
Dammit......you spend what little money you got on these fucking big ass loud SUV's and is it making YOU any money? No! And no it ain't gonna find you "the one"....it'll find you some gold diggers who are out to get you in this neighborhood, I can gurantee you that.
You ought to check out my nice neighbors.....they young like you. They have found the balance of having just enough FUN with they friends, while STILL having common sense enough to take good care of themselves and they kid. They got street smarts enough to survive but they have avoided the pitfalls of acting a damn fool like you. Young squires of the hood.....take heed to them.
Ain't they living proof you don't have to fuck with excess to have a good time? Damn.
NEXT UNPOPULAR OPINION:
What needs to be buried: taking those online battles public. Did that fourteen page long back and forth about whatever subject get your bills paid, put gas in your car, put money in your pocket, get you laid, teach you something useful in your day to day real life? If it didn't......leave it alone.
Ain't nobody gonna be upset if you DON'T have the last word. We'll all secretly thank you all for NOT doing it.
In fact, we'll APPLAUD you internally for taming it. We'll be happy and even learn a bit from the clearly stated views and opinions and rebuttals that each make a point, without degenerating into a "but I'm trying to prove I'm right and you're wrong" bullshit. That would be 1950s generational Future Always Very Cherry SWEET, now wouldn't it!!

"Sold out" only means something if you feel that you've lost something important (usually your soul) by being in your current position. If you don't feel that way, then you haven't sold out.

no selling out means that you have gone against everything that you or your group stood for instance joining the "illuminati" a primarily white secret cult with other minor groups such as the kkk, so basically what I am saying is that for a black person joining in any type of masonic group or faction is the equivalent of a jewish person becoming a natzi. THATS SELLING OUT

I believe prisoners should be lined up against the wall and shot. We have no use for them in society. I dont want to pay taxes to feed, clothe and house them. I also believe that murder and rape should have mandatory death sentences.

3rd-ed. So far he's proven to be pretty spineless and I'm honestly pretty frustrated with him right now. He speaks from the left but acts from the right. He gets accused by the tea party of being a socialist when infact his actions show he is very much the conservative moderate. Truth be told, he's been given a pretty raw deal by all those white conservative assholes that he has to play ball with everyday but at some point a nigga's gotta man up and I ain't really seen that happen yet. It's like he hit the ground running and now the GOP is just dragging him along like a runway slave that's been captured by rednecks. One thing his presidency has done is to bring the racist underbelly of misguided "patriotism" into the light. it's amazing how fast all these fringe ideas that are very much in line with white nationalism become mainstream when people reveal their fear of a black nation. All of a sudden they have to "take the country back". From what? I thought were were all Americans here. I guess that's another lie I learned in school. This country's going to shit. I was frightened at the direction it was going and now it just sickens me and makes me angry. I guess when enough of the right people get angry for the right reasons then we'll see some change or just burn this whole motherfucker down in the process.
