Speaking of black people dying in movies, everytime I watch Deep Blue Sea, it kinda amazes me how LL Cool J managed to stay alive that whole movie. With friggin sharks!
Two of my ds were black women and they had some of the tightest edge ups of all time. A lot of the black girls seem to be pretty afraid of going natural though. There are four girls in my platoon that got weaves just to have buns.HomShaBom said:

That is fucking awesome. Nice. I'm not even a Virgo but I'm tempted to save that on my computer or use it as a cell phone wall paper.
My BlackBerry died though ... =(
Also, it's awesome seeing a lot of you joining the Facebook group.

On the subject of black people called cool;
Why are black people in movies always so cool? (aside from that one who always plays in buddy cop movies, not the one with the annoying laugh but the other one.)

Does most of black gaf have an understanding of what an Uncle Tom is? Seems in that thread that peoples definitions are all over the place.

Yes? Like an overly obedient black person, right?Big Baybee said:
Uncle Ruckus is mostly a self-hating black person. I wouldn't fully describe him completely as an Uncle Tom.Ducarmel said:

The character, or how it's meant today?
I hate that so many people seem to think that being an Uncle Tom is 'acting white'. For one, there is no way to 'act a race'. What does that even look like? Plain and simple ignorance.
But really, it's someone that participates in the metaphorical shucking and jiving and/or lowering of their own dignity in an effort to appeal to whites. That's the shit that I can't stand.
That said, I usually can't bring myself to bring down other blacks. If I see someone being an 'Uncle Tom' so to speak, I just wish him the best and hope that whatever he earns is worth it. We have too much tearing down of our brothers and sisters and not enough uplifting IMO.

Putting down your own race and sucking up to another (likely white) for the sake of improved status.
Majority of the time it's ignorant and quite false but there are definitely a lot of black men out there who have done everything in their power to shred any evidence of the culture they grew up in, while genuinely seeming to have a dislike, if not a hatred for the things our race is typically known for.
It's definitely not just having a preference for a position in business and preferring white women though.

I would if I knew wtf it meant myself. At this point its a term loosely used to refer to someone acting "white" it seems, or selling out to white people, but what it really stands for is lost to me at this point.The term is thrown around so much its lost all meaning to me.

What's everyone up to tonight? I got a dark caesar earlier and I'm feeling fresh.
Right now I'm watching a Team Sp00ky stream of Super Street Fighter IV AE. Can't wait for AE to be released on Tuesday.

Guys,
If any of you have been on a sun soaked holiday before do you use sunscreen? I got to use some for my tattoo but I don't know whether I should use some for my whole face and body?
Also where is the link to the facebook page?
Cheers

Oh heck yes, I use sunscreen. I remember a middle school science teacher telling us that black people don't get sunburned. I tested that theory out on a hot Georgia summer day once and got burned like Back Draft.
Now, I'm only a medium brown, but I'll wager a guess that anyone will burn if they're in the sun long enough. Maybe I'm wrong? (lol)
