It goes a bit deeper than that, and I can understand the views of the "African-Americans" in this instance and those others that tried to get their buddy nominated are totally in the wrong.
Regardless of what you PC people want to think, they are wrong because they are trying to make a point on what they think is an injustice and unfair.
*Point-fucking time*
(OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH, I gonna shred this!! Here it comes..)
People like this really need to take a good look at themselves and ask "What am I doing? What am I trying to say or prove?"
(These idiots just robbed part of a script from "Soul Man" with C. Thomas Howell.)
Are they trying to get into "some" club with "one of their own".
Are they trying to be Politically Correct and found someone they think "qualifies" as their definition "African-American"?
(By finding someone an "Caucasian" African and nominate him for an award CLEARLY dedicated for the "Americans of AFRICAN decent" is making a mockery of the whole thing and SHOULD be expelled for being "insensitive".) How are they being that? Why should they be suspended?
I can give one reason: If they thought the award should include anyone who also shows the trait one must have to win it, WHY DID THEY NOT pick anyone else, even themselves to be nominated?
(NOOOOO, they had to go and get someone who was African...) INSENSITIVITY, very blatant..
What they were doing was sending a message, a real fucked up one. Trying to find a point where they can "turn the tables" and point a finger, saying the how racist the whole organization is because they can't get into the "club" they shouldn't be trying to join in the first place!!
You might want to think I am speaking because I am a Black.
(Yes, but I see myself as AMERICAN more than even being Black.)
Did they really think an African who is caucasian is a candidate for an award designed and embodies awareness and recognition of the trials, tribulations and struggles of the BLACK AMERICANS and their DECENDANTS? (Three words: Hell-fucking-NO.)
Still can't understand why they were expelled?
*History lesson time*
Just being from Africa isn't an automatic qualifying point.
(What the hell were they thinking?) You know, you all want to point and claim "reverse racisim", but lets pull all stops out and really look closely.
Lets go one step further and take a timewarp to the late "'50's - 60's".
(Now you just might want to think I am calling "sides" but this is where we all get to see why he shouldn't be there in the first place...)
Let's play this game called FACTS:
(and you'll see the unwritten meaning of recognition this award and what disqualifies him in the first place. He shouldn't be there in the first place..)
1) He and I, standing in a park, I am thirsty and so is he. If I drank from the fountain that he just drank from, what would happen? (You know, the one marked "WHITES ONLY"..)
2) He and I, get on a bus, who can sit where he pleases, and who has to sit in the back. (God forbid, if the bus got full, then who would be forced to give up his seat so a "Caucasian" can sit down?
3) They KKK corners "us" on a road, somewhere on the country-side? WHO would get lynched? (I think he wouldn't like to volunteer that information he's from Africa right then.) How many Caucasians were lynched because of the color of skin?
I think you see the picture now, so let's fast forward to today:
1) He and I apply for college,(ex: Yale, Yeshiva, Harvard...) who more likely will be accepted and who will recieve a background check?
2) He and I goes to the same job interview, who'll most likely to get the job without having to have a drug-test before hand?
3) He and I, standing on a street corner, the police rolls up, who will more likely will the police check and ask identification for?
Let me not get carried away, I know you see my point... Too easy to pull "that" card, huh.
But, that is the truth of how it goes...
Now, let me tell you what that award is for.
It isn't about being Black, or African American. It isn't an exclusive award targeting a specific club.
It is awarded to an African American that best exhibits a postive attitude in their contributions in their school work, sets example for his or her peers, and shows promise in face of the racial "restrictions" that are STILL being oppressed on their lives TO THIS DATE.
Now, in this case, their point is that his ONLY qualification for nomination is that he's from Africa?
(To point-fuck, he isn't American to boot..) If you agree to this plight and thing it's reverse-racism, you obviously MISSED the point....
This isn't about the award, this isn't about MLK. People should look at them right in their faces and see these people are wrong,
and tell them that, point-blank.
