No, he didn’t say that. Much ink was spilled pointing out how he thinks women shouldn’t accept a drink or pill, but he never explicitly said anyone deserved to be raped. He denied the premise that Bill Cosby had slipped drugs in without consent of his victims, he speculated that the women wanted sex, and he probably used the outdated definition of rape which requires overcoming the victim’s will.
However he was a major asshole to not_what_you_d_expect, who had shared her personal experience with a rapist.
Major asshole as in, if this had happened in a face-to-face context, you are no longer on speaking terms with anybody within earshot. Someone tells you how they were raped, and your response is “not good enough”? It doesn’t matter if you thought you were discussing what it takes to prove rape in a courtroom. I don’t think split_p_j has ever acknowledged how much of an asshole he was, let alone apologize to her.
Here we go, I never said that there were no dark-skinned black women in AKA during Harris’s time, so the picture doesn’t really mean anything. Things were slowly changing in the '80’s and '90’s as i said.
You are of course being disingenuous here. I can put up a picture of my black grandfather with white men in the US Army during WW2 and say see, it was all good.
That’s basically what you are trying to do here. I’m talking about the mindset of the time.
Bwahahaha, you mean stereotypical white features, treasured because of the insidious effects of white supremacy, gained by having at least of act of rape by a slave owner in your genetics right?
I rather doubt that this is a like-to-like comparison.
The NBC 4 article and video is more compelling than the photos. Harris’ sorority sisters didn’t have to follow up with her years later – if her dark-skinned sorority sisters were tokens or somehow segregated from the full AKA experience back in the 1980s, it beggars belief that they’d be supporting Harris publicly 30-something years later. Much easier to just not make the trip to DC.
Look I get it’s gotta be rough being a conservative Black man, but that doesn’t mean you put on the Uncle Ruckus act to impress the White conservatives.
No, I meant West African features, diluted a bit by Eruopean features. Like I’ve been saying the whole time.
I’m a full Black American, descended directly from West African slaves. I have dark skin and no European features and I’m sure if I did a genealogy test there would be 0 Eruopean genes in me.
Contrary to what this board is trying to tell people. There are millions of people like me in the US.
Nah, he doesn’t have the guts to actually be “Uncle Ruckus”. He’s stuck resorting to pretending to know “Uncle Ruckus” and posting those opinions as ‘Guys? I’m really concerned’ trolling.
What is so funny about that statement? I’m sure I have no European ancestry. I look exactly like some other African immigrants I’ve met depending on where they are from in Africa.
Like I don’t look Nigerian as an example.
Not all of us are mixed with Europeans like this board is trying to say.
But the '21 pic is irrelevant, the attitudes had changed by then, as I’ve said, and just a hot tip for you some black peoples skin gets darker with age.
So yes in '21 it wasn’t a thing for the AKA’s to allow darker sink women in, and some of the women in the '86 photo were the ones that helped change that.
It’s funny because there’s no “look” for having 5%, or 10%, or probably even 20% European ancestry. Just like there’s no “look” for having that same % of African ancestry. I look like a light-skinned white guy with dark blonde hair. By my appearance no would would ever presume I had any non-white ancestry.
But I did a genetic ancestry test and have about 5% West African ancestry.
My dad looks like a white guy with dark brown hair. He has a higher % of West African ancestry than I do (approximately double, but I don’t remember the exact #).
Your feelings about your appearance have very little to do with your actual genetic ancestry.
Why gosh, sure, as long as you leave out the fact that your black grandfather wasn’t in the same unit as the white men (unless they were high ranking officers in the unit), ignore the fact that the military was segregated, and the fact that the unit your grandfather was assigned to had the word (colored) after its name in its title, as in 92nd Infantry Division (colored). Aside from that your comparison is spot on.
If your entire ancestral tree goes back to West Africa, except for just one of your 32 great-great-great grandparents from 1900, that’s 3%, low enough for any given dominant phenotype to almost certainly disappear.
