Well, it's less about that and more about the fact that I don't think of Satch as being very shady. She's much too forthright for that.

Pretty much lol Beyonce tho...
Both of my parents are pretty dark and yet my skin is pretty light. Light tan, even. I'm nowhere near mixed.
Lol
Same here but I am mixed (though most black from both sides of my family). I got my skin from my grandmother. Not sure which one... though one of them gave me red hair and the other made me tall and clumsy lol
Its fine
My siblings and me are all mixed with the same genes but we vary by shade lol
My older sister is dark like my father, my younger sister and brother are somewhere in the middle with my mom and I'm left out in the cold but luckily I have my grandmas. Lol
Either way, I consider myself black but respect all my heritage. I'm a person and my skin tone doesn't make me different from my family or others. ;3
He doesn't want to do it anymore because the fanbase pissed him off
dont really BLAME him the idiots who talk to him on Twitter would make me go insane.
different kind of shade. Satch can blot out a person's sunlight and cause them to have an identity eclipse.

As soon as the 'quote until they get banned train' started I was like, "oh shit." I'm not touching race threads any more despite the temptation. I'll have to enjoy them by proxy from here
He really needs to get off of there. Responding to YouTube convents would actually be an improvement compared to the crowd he deals with now
I get this 50% of the time. I'm:
1st. Native American
2nd. Hispanic / Latino
3rd. Indian
4th. Layzie Bone
apparently he is his own race.

I had to stop reading them, I got sidetracked by Mariana Gonzalez
That's not shade, though. Shade is subtle and underhanded; Satch drags and scalps.

Why do you assume Angelus posts here?
Because I can read the thread? Why would you even ask?
He needs a ban
Don't look it up on Wikipedia or anything. Just ask GAF.
This shit is starting to get on my nerves.
I went through my Goodreads account and made two lists; one of things I've read and one of things I would like to read. I started with #4, which I would not recommend doing. If I were doing it over again, I probably would start with #2, then #1, then #9, then pick between #6, #8, or #5 depending on what interested me most.

When I said, "Hey, just realized you know almost nothing about black history or politics?" as a rhetorical question to ask for a thread of self-education resources, that was actually almost exactly the conversation I had with myself. I had come to that realization sometime after a couple things happened: I came out and after reading about the history of homosexuality just how deliberately things had been hidden from me on that subject, simply by their omission in my education. After that, I read Lies My Teacher Told Me which made it abundantly clear that that sort of obfuscation, misrepresentation, whitewashing, and general nonsense was the rule and not the exception. I'd also become sensitive to the fact that I had been using issues of black civil rights in discussions about gay rights, while not really knowing all that much about said issues, or participating in threads about those issues. I had been doing so not so much to draw equivalences, but to highlight inconsistencies in other people's thinking - but I was bothered by that.
So, eventually something broke and I started trying to read more.
Afrocentrists sounds like a Funk group.

Tomorrow I finally find out the severity of my shoulder injury, guys.
I liked feeling indestructible, but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna hear that I'm being held together by nothing but AR 670-1, chicken wire, and burning passion.

Mumei is awesome.
Once I knock out some work-related stuff, I'm gonna do myself the favor of re-upping on some of these. After I got out of college, I've largely neglected the opportunity to continue educating myself on African American history. I think I can at least knock out 3 of those this month.

I'd off you a bro-hug, but I don't want to be the cause of your arm finally falling off.
It's sad that you're so open to answering questions and you get the same repetitive shit over and over and over.
I like asking the guy about his time developing stuff during his Clover days, though. Real interesting stuff. but the same 'fuck off' x infinity shit made me unfollow/mute the guy
Then again I try not to ask famous social-able gaming industry people stupid shit because lol common sense.
People can't be that uninformed about this overseas right? this is a troll, right? then again I know UK people that's never heard of black history month so im weary on commenting on these things. maybe some people are just that uninformed idk
