Mulatto.org: Debate And Free Speech Board

A question for LaCosa and his professor about African phenotypes.

Lboy — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 06:30:58 GMT

I am thinking the best person to answer this question would be someone in the type of class that LaCaso is taking. Can Africans tell each other apart as far as tribal phenotype? During the massacre in Rwanda, did the Hutu Militia know who they were killing? If someone who was Black American, Trinidadian or Jamaican had been in town that day, could the Hutu militias have looked at them and said, "oh, he is not a Tutsi, don't bother him". I watched a documentary about it and when I looked at the Hutu and Tutsi, I didn't see one bit of difference in looks. How then can they know who to kill? When there are genocides being committed by Africans of one tribe, can they tell the phenotypes of the tribes that they are killing?

Microsoft doesn't recognize Mulatto as an ethnic title.

Lboy — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 06:01:59 GMT

I typed this out using MS Word 2007. Look closely at it and tell me what is wrong with this. I purposely left off a capital letter for the titles of ethnic groups and countries. MS Word is showing me with a red underline that a spelling mistake has occurred. Now look at the word Mulatto. Leaving off a capital 'M'. Doesn't effect the grammar of the word. Good, bad or who give a flying fudge?

Film Depictions of AA Women (Martin Lawrence & Eddie Murphy)

PassingWoman — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:35:24 GMT

Hi Everyone,

The world needs your opinions....

A young journalist/grad student called me the other day and asked me about visual portrayals of African American women (although I inquired as to "mixed" women, as well....) in film and media. She's doing an article, and could benefit from people's opinions....

Do you recall Norbit and Eddie Murphy's female impersonation?

And what about "Big Momma's House," with Martin Lawrence dressed in female attire?

Does the fact that you KNOW these aren't really women effect how you view the films? (Bearing in mind, however, in Norbit, the female charater is "real" at least in terms of the plot)

Further, what did those depictions "tell you" about African American women? Was there an intended message about women of color? If so, what?

Does (or "can") media control your perceptions by showing images which are less than exemplary?

Can you think of any similar films, or ones which had depictions like these (even secondary characters)?

Add anything you can think of, or whatever thoughts that you might have. I'm going to tell the grad student to come to this site, and hopefully she can get some opinions....

Who knows where things may lead, but I'll be there are some STRONG opinions on this board!!!!!

Serial Killers in the Midwest

LaCosa — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 21:19:41 GMT

What's going on in the Midwest? one might wonder.

Milwaukee, Cleveland, and Chicago are all dealing with their own Black-American male serial killers. So far from what has been released thus far, they all seem to have preyed on black women, mainly prostituting to support drug habits.

I mean all three serial killers seem to have years that intercepted one another when they were operating.

It used to be, serial killers were the domains of white men in the United States. Not any more.

I hope yesterdays Tyra show don't fall death ears.

Lboy — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 17:16:45 GMT

I VHC taped it because the preview looked so interesting. They were showing woman who suffered from illegal surgery's. It was crazy. I wanted to cry for some of those females who described their story. The one Black girl from England flew to Panama and got some placed into her eye to try to turn them permanently blue. She now according a the doctor on the show could develop blindness. The doctor in Panama didn't tell her he cut a hole in her chorea. (ehhh). This 3rd video below video is relating to what Tyra's show was about. Tyra never mentioned what this guy is saying. He is right, these female are showing up in back alley places to have these surgery's done. C'mon, let use our brains! For this Black girl from England, my first thought was "What a dumbass" but after they told her the longterm damage and even blindness she may have, I felt soo sorry for her.

Wow, someone placed it on youtuve already! Here the girls are....
