Thread winner.
Black strippers not wanting to strip/dance for black people.
Black waiters not wanting to serve to black customers.
This one doesn’t count because I’m fully aware that gay guys aren’t women.
I’ve had some gay friends and when the women weren’t around, BOY, did they ever talk shit about them! And what’s so twisted about all this is, when they gay guys aren’t around, and it’s just the women, they can’t stop talking about how they love these guys to pieces.
I’ve always wondered if that was common in they gay community or if my experience was just a fluke.
Internalized racism is a big problem in the South African Coloured community. I think it’s compounded by Coloureds always being Other to the parties in power, both White under Apartheid and now Black. Often manifested as perceptions of most other Coloureds as uneducated, violent, alcoholic drug addicts. Strongest in those Coloureds who aren’t uneducated, violent, alcoholic drug addicts. Elements of cultural cringe creep in there as well - Coloureds in South Africa are much stronger bearers of colonial mentality than Blacks.
My wife speaks three languages fluently, which as a lover of language I find amazing and wonderful (I only speak about 1.7 languages myself). So I found it odd and sad that, for a while, she refused to “admit” that she spoke one if those languages – the one her parents speak to each other most of the time – simply because it is not associated with positive things (prestige? global importance? education?) in the place she grew up in.
Not quite what the OP is looking for, but another dimension of the same sort of thing. Similarly, a lot of Mexicans who speak an indigenous language (Maya, or Chinantec, or any of a score of others) deprecate this phenomenal skill – sometimes by insisting that the indigenous language is “just a dialect, not a real language.”
Mexican Americans don’t like to just get into gang fights,
they like flowers and music and white girls named Debbie too.
Mexican Americans are named Chata and Chella and chemma
and have a son in law named Jeff.
Mexican Americans don’t like to get up early in the morning
but they have to so they do it real slow.
Mexican Americans love education so they go to night school
and take Spanish and get a B.
Doesn’t this have something to do with the attitude of Black men towards black women? Likewise, there was thread sometime back on SDMB, wherein it was suggested that black customers tend to be poor tippers. Perhaps the black waiter would simply prefer a more lucrative tip for his services?
Oh my God. Black conservatives?

I think the phenomenon of many para/quadriplegics being totally and completely unwilling to be in a romantic and/or physical relationship with a fellow para/quad is a good example of self-bigotry. While logistic and practical issues are definitely factors that work against two wheelchair-users being involved with each other, those issues alone are absolutely unable to account for the downright visceral reaction of many wheelchair users to the prospect of dating one of their own. I think it’s a very interesting and complicated matter; it’s one thing to be the person with the disability and to be the person who uses the chair. But when you have another person who is also all of those things in your private life with you, seen in public with you, it brings into sharp focus all the potentially prejudicial/problematic issues that the person themselves has about their own disability.
Heh. I tried to think of a way to mention that, um, phenomenon.
My Jamaican landlady (Black by American standards, 1/4-1/8 by Spanish ones) had been married twice. The first husband, chosen by her elder sister when the bride-to-be was just 13, was a black gent more than twice her age. He was, in her own words, “a good man who treated me right, and I was sorry to see him die” (he died of cancer in his early 30s). But I know he was black because of the color of the daughter they had in common: she didn’t have any pictures of him. Each of her descendants kept getting darker, as the respective husbands kept being black. Sometimes she’d start ranting against “blacks”, “darkies” or “collerds” in front of me and of her dark-as-coal BFF, and BFF and I would just look at each other over her head and shake ours, because we knew that any attempts at pointing out the i-llogic would just leave Mama befuddled.
Then there’s the phenomenon of people whose citizenship still has the ink wet ranting about how furriners “should just stay back wherever the fuck they come from”. Sometimes in front of the gf who was present at their swearing-in and of their still-a-British-citizen mother; that one didn’t go down well. My Catalan relatives who like to go on rants about how “those people should just stay wherever they come from”? None of them would have been born if “those people” in our family tree had stayed where they came from.
Its self-hating not to allow black people to have the same varied political beliefs as everyone else.
Oh, don’t worry, I think all people with those political beliefs are delusional, ignorant, and/or bigoted. But they’re not all self-hating too.
I definitely have struggled with internalized misogyny ever since I can remember. I’ve been working through it, I guess. I think it might be due to my Catholic upbringing. We were definitely taught a lot of negative stereotypes about women (and racial minorities, but I’ve talked about that on other threads.)
Still to this day, if I’m listening to a talk show and a woman comes on, I reflexively want to change the channel because I doubt she knows what she’s talking about. Of course, I instantly realize that’s wrong and keep listening, but still. I could give many other examples, but it all basically comes to snap judgements related to what I was taught about women.
It is pretty crazy and definitely a sensitive topic for me.
Daniel Burros, an American Jew and neo-Nazi who was a member of the American Nazi Party and a Kleagle of the United Klans of America. He committed suicide a few hours after his Jewish heritage was publically revealed.
Who did that comedy bit about the blind KKK leader who was black?
You mean black Klansman Clayton Bigsby?
He was a Dave Chappelle character on the Chappelle show. I started to link to the clip, but it’s seriously NSFW.
Wanna get some coffee tomorrow in some Scottish shopping mall? ![]()
That’s it!
I just rewatched it. Serious funny.
