So, one day back in the 90s, I happen to overhear a conversation going on with my youngest sister and her friends, and one of them( if I'm remembering correctly), mentioned a scene in a tv show where someone was telling another character- "I love you"and one of her other friends then said, "That's white people stuff"..... Typical!
Oh really, so ONLY white people are capable of feeling or expressing LOVE?! We(black people) are above such concepts as romantic love... funny how we have no problem with LUST! I guess that's one of those things that WE are supposed to think is "corny", see my earlier posts where I talk about the "community's" use of that stupid word.
I'm reminded of that scene in New Jack City where Nino Brown's main girlfriend is basically pouring her heart to him and his response is something about how what she is expressing is "soap opera shit", which is just another way of calling her corny....
Are we that fucked up as a people that we think expressing loving sentiments to each other is "corny" or white? Funny how our men have no problem screwing as many women as possible, but aren't capable of showing warmth or tenderness to even one of them.
"My people" also have no problem laughing at each other.
In another words, my people SUCK!
Edited 4/10/25- I was reminded the other day of the STUPIDITY of the community's treatment of Whitney Houston in the late 80s or whatever- being booed at the Soul Train awards and that fool, Al Sharpton and his so-called boycott, calling her "Whitey" instead of Whitney- her music may not have been as funky as it could have been( you can thank that piece of shit Clive Davis for that) but that doesn't mean it was "white" or that she was a sellout. I liked Where Do Broken Hearts Go.
See how WE are?

Edited 5/16/25- Watch this video and pay particular attention to the part where she talks about the "love" scene between Annie and Smoke- at 7:28 .... "And just hitting it from the back INSTEAD of making love" "normal in the black community".....
I didn't see the movie but when she talked about THAT scene and how it was typical of how black men tend to be unloving with black women, I was reminded of what inspired the first paragraph of this post.
