I love how this has become a popular topic of conversation lately. Seems like everyone nowadays is an expert on the illuminati and other secret societies.
My friend tried to show me a youtube the other day about how Michael Jackson was assassinated by the illuminati.

Was hittin it off with her nicely, but then when the subject of music came around she says "I heard kanye west sold his soul to the devil".....pause(not of the n/h variety). She later talked about being saved and not listening to secular music anymore. She invited me to some christian club thing on campus and said their would be an after party and all this jazz. I really enjoyed her company, but I feel like we'd probably bump heads if I were to pursue, I dunno. Maybe I'll at least show my face, try and talk to her a bit more and then just play some mahvel after since I've yet to touch the game, that's if I'm done with my homework by then that is.

Mahvel it is I guess lol. It's a shame though really, the girl is bad. But I guess I'd better just cut my losses right now as I would imagine she would have to be the relationship type, but I gotta say I would've so dated her based on talking to her for 2 hours before she dropped the Evangelical bomb on me.

The farahnk501 shit? I've seen all of them and they're GREAT. They cover everything. From how DMX is being fucked over by the illuminati and the evil imagery in Rhianna's umbrella video.

Fuck it man, sometimes you need to get down. You can't be on that brown liquor and screwing your face up to Talib Kweli. It's all about a balance. You can't be any one thing all the time.

Ouch....maybe cut and run. Unless you wanna hit it and quit. Might be one of those freaky zealots that talk crazy like that but then drop panties in no time at all.

I say hang out with her once at this party. At the very least you'll get a good story out of it. And who knows what might happen?

In the spirit of BH month, I started looking for some African documentaries. Just finished watching this and though it was pretty interesting. It's not just what it may appear to be, a documentary on slavery, it's far from that actually. They kind of touch on everything in this, wasn't really expecting to learn so much. It can be viewed on Netflix instant if you have that.

Crime, drugs, HIV/AIDS, poor education, inferiority complex, low expectation, poverty, corruption, poor health, and underdevelopment plagues people of African descent globally - Why? 500 years later from the onset of Slavery and subsequent Colonialism, Africans are still struggling for basic freedom-Why? Filmed in five continents, and over twenty countries, 500 Years Later engages the authentic retrospective voice, told from the African vantage-point of those whom history has sought to silence by examining the collective atrocities that uprooted Africans from their culture and homeland. 500 Years Later is a timeless compelling journey, infused with the spirit and music of liberation that chronicles the struggle of a people who have fought and continue to fight for the most essential human right - freedom.

I'd still keep at it... A lot of young people are on that dumb shit of believing everything they hear blah blah blah

I'll skip the bullshit - that red flag isn't big enough for me and depending on exactly how bad she is, it won't be big enough for a lot of other people either. Church girls are freaks. You know this. Put up with the Tyler Perry movies, the narrow/judgmental perspectives... at least she doesn't have kids or a crazy dude named LaCaTrel'eon all over her.

This may be a possibility, as I went against my better judgement and saw her tonight at the meeting which was basically an hour church service. I fucked up though because I said I'd come with her to this party afterwards and dance with her, but It was supposed to be either I go to the dance or the service and I went to the service like a dumbass. I'm obligated to rugby practice from 11 to 1.

You know the thought of not talking to her tonight was really nagging at me and since I talked to her, I know there was definitely sexual tensions as I was talking to her at the makeshift djbooth/altar. I'ma see her again next week though.




I'll see her again next week and I'm going to make it my mission to defile this woman in the near future. You guys have any stories with church girls?

I'm a preacher's son. Church is nasty.

The good church girls... don't know if this is the case with your girl - but they're worth putting up with a little hypocritical bs every once in a while because once those walls come down they'll do damn near anything.

I'm a former preachers son myself, never messed with any girls in the church when I was younger before my dad left. The girl I'm talking to may just be what you're describing though, although she's a white girl. She was saved back in high school, was wildin' out when she got to college and got re-saved/baptized like last year or somethin lol. God willing', we'll be able to stop beating around the bush with the sexual tension and have her break her vow of abstinence yet again. Thank God for the reset button.

I do, but I've been warned not to turn this thread into 'The sexual adventures of a random white dude'.

All I'll say is that of the two church girls I've encountered, one was an Ice Queen that I was wasting my time with, and the other was a complete freak, well worth the God bullshit I had to hear her spout from time to time. Hit it like six times, and it was a ton of fun. You'll only know if you try...

El DeBarge back in rehab right before his new tour, shit is bumming me out hardcore. All I've been doing the past few weeks is singing my fucking ass off (or trying, at least) to Time Will Reveal, Stay With Me, et al., and last night I even spent like 2 hours just watching youtube videos of him ripping shit up with his angelic, miraculously preserved voice, doing interviews saying the most lovely things, and I cried, and I pronounced El DeBarge nothing short of Jesus Christ Our Lord And Saviour Himself, the most beautiful and dedicated artist this shitty rock has ever been lucky to host, and I wake up this afternoon to see him beaten back down by the world.

I guess it's wonderful that he's taking care of himself and not letting shit get out of hand, but damn. Got all this love for you baby, know you gonna pull through!

Not really. I don't really have many nerdy friends. I rarely talk about games or whatever irl.

- Do you know your roots? The farthest that I've traced it back was to the Caribbean on my mothers side, and Maryland on my dad's side
- Your Age I'll be 20 next month
- Favorite musical genre Everything but Metal and Country, I mainly listen to Hip-Hop, Trip-Hop, and Electronic though

My dad, my 2 brothers and my best friend are black nerds so I don't feel alone. People do get surprised at how nerdy I can get once they get to know me. As for the whole acting white thing, I don't believe in it. I think it hinders people to try new thing.I just do me.

Yeah, I've been lurking this thread for a while but missed your posts about this certain topic. I will try to not sound too bitter about this but if I do forgive me.

An overwhelming amount of Dominicans are in denial about their roots. If you've hanged out with any Dominican then you might be familiar with all the bullshit terms we have come up with for calling black Dominicans anything other than black. "Jabao, indio, morenito, trigueño" etc. The amount of black Dominicans I've met, large majority of which have been darker than me, who are incredibly racist and do not consider themselves black at all is quite depressing. This all goes back to the Trujijjo era and all the anti-black propaganda that came with it. That was a long time ago, and there is no excuse for the amount of racism and denial that still exists in the DR.

I actually don't hang out with any Dominicans and haven't for a long time. There is just a big disconnect between my views and all the prejudice, bigotry and hypocrisy that is integrated in Dominican society. The amount of racist comments I've heard by just NOT talking Spanish to anyone even if I know they are Latino is quite infuriating and disheartening. I am just glad that I grew up in the US and made the choices that I did because I might have been like that if we had stayed in the DR.

I would like for the Dominican community to move on from this white is right mindset, but that is not going to happen if we keep ourselves in that denial filled bubble that so many Dominicans seem to fall into. If people just opened their minds even a little bit, and tried to listen past the rhetoric and the bigotry passed down by their own families and learned to appreciate their own roots then I could see things really moving forward.

Yo, black-gaf, glad to finally be here. I remember reading through the first black-gaf thread about all the stories of whoopings, great times. My Intro:
- Where you're from Born Birmingham, Al but my parents were in the military so we moved from place to place (SC, NC, TX, KS) didn't really have a permanent home
- Where you live Marietta, GA
- Your cultural heritage, lineage and genealogy Don't really have a clue. I know my Dad's side has some Indian and both of my parents are fully black
- Do you know your roots? Nope, I suspect African though, based on my features
- Your Age 18 going on 19 in about 3 weeks
- Favorite musical genre I listen to just about every single genre, but by far Rap
- Your profession/major/career interest I'm in school for journalism, but really I want a career in rap music (right now I'm just practicing and working on my skills)
- Your religious affiliation VERY Loose Christian/Agnostic (It's sorta complicated)
- Hobbies Gaming, Anime, Getting in Shape, Learning to Rap and Make Beats, Being a Goofball

- Do you feel ostracized as a black nerd/dork? Charles Barkley once said that "there's nothing sadder than a black nerd". What do you think about those words, and while we're on the issue, what is gaf's opinion on the whole "act white" thing? I've become really comfortable with who I am as a person. I think it's pretty cool to be honest. One second I'm talking to one group of friends about the new Kanye song and then I'll turn around and debate the best Final Fantasy games. Guys like Pharrell and Lupe made it cool for me when I was younger to accept being a black nerd.

As far as beats, I'm not even close. Just a beginner right now, I got a M-Audio Axiom 25 MIDI Keyboard last Xmas and I'm about to buy Propellerhead's Reason. I've had the GAF Music Production thread bookmarked for about 7 months now.

Main blogs I read are 2DopeBoyz and NahRight for Rap. I look at AllKPop occasionally too whenever I'm in a Girls Generation mood.

Ha she's really grown on you huh? Definitely one of my favorites.

Well its good to hear that you're making your own beats, if you get better at that than rapping, maybe you could be a top producer like your avatar. Look forward to hearing some of your stuff if you're ready to post it up.

Looks like we go to the same sites for rap, I also go to Datpiff sometimes. But I listen to a wide variety of music so I visit multiple music blogs like
-Analoggiant
-Gorilla Vs Bear
-The hood internet

Since we're on a videogame forum, how do you guys feel about artists that try to make rapbeats based on videogame music or sound effects from games like Charles Hamilton ? I love seeing what people do with videogame tracks. Like DJ Kariu who usually works with street fighter.

It is a sore point for me daily walking through the BX or Washington Heights trying to speak to the gorgeous DR women and being destroyed instantly. :(

Click to expand...
Agreed. Amazing how Washington still thought of black people as human at a time when people just perceived them as animals or subhuman. I think some the U.S. founding fathers were kind of hoping that slavery would be abolished and blacks would become hardworking business owners like they are today, especially when you study some of the philosophers that influenced their thinking, you come to realize that many of them may have been strongly against the institution of slavery. I had no idea that Washington was such a popular last name for blacks in America until today. I didn't think people actually considered it a "black name"

My mom is kinda nerdy too - when I go home from being at campus for a while, she'll ask me to get on my Xbox360 and see if Netflix has "any Batman or Superman cartoons for us to watch".

As for "acting white", I get comments like those from friends and family a lot. In highschool, we went on a ski-trip to Colorado. When I got back from the trip, I told my father that I had gone snowboarding, to which he replied, (without hesitation): "I always knew you had a little white in you." I also hear things like "You are the whitest black chick I know" or "You'll definitely end up dating a white guy", etc. I've just learned to brush it off at this point because it's pretty funny.

I'm so down with the Cowboy look. For Halloween I grew a disgusting beard and dressed as a Cowboy. Thing is, I was decked out all in white: White hat, white tank top, white vest, white boots, white pants.

If I was black it woulda had kind of a Rick James vibe.
