I bet you're too pleb to double fist

i would say about half of black men are in fact Idris Elba

fucking chameleons

Even a single shitpost on Veeky Forums from this man would raise our credibility to ten times what it usually is.

After a history of illiteracy, the blacks have discovered a power that lay dormant inside them

...

Why do African-Americans in particular have this psuedo-intellectual mindset? Regular black people are just levelheaded but there's something about black american culture that makes them want to constantly prove that they're intellectuals

>Oh shit a black person might actually be smarter than me, how do I try and devalue it?

There are plenty of black people smarter than me. I'm just saying that reading two books at once (one of looks like its a Kevin Hart biography lel) while wearing a nifty suit is a definite African-American thing. Same as rappers coming up with lines like: "Not bisexual; I'm an intellectual"

JEJ

What is so funny about that image you laughing faggots.

>there's something about black american culture that makes them want to constantly prove that they're intellectuals

I'm guessing you don't live in America? The dominant black culture here is the anti-intellectual gangster culture.

Many of them who somehow don't fall into this culture try desperately to be intellectual because they subconsciously suspect that their race is mentally inferior (including themselves).

It's the same reason we have the "we wuz kangz".

kek

Judging by the Nas picture he was talking about the We Wuz crowd. Most of the "intelligent rappers from the golden age of hip hop" were/are 5 percenters.

You leaving this board forever would also increase its quality tenfold

>not listening to audiobooks at 2x speed with each earbud reading a different book

You seriously can't tell it's edited? You dirty fucking nigger lover

Their entire heritage is a prolonged humiliation. They're the offspring of blacks caught by other superior blacks in Africa and sold to whitey/kikey and then kept as farm animals for centuries.

Being a slave descendant African-American is probably the saddest thing you can be and that leads to an understandable inferiority complex.

check this out if you want to have some laffs:

>probably the saddest thing you can be
ever head of non American Africans? they should be glad to live in the US and if they're not they can always move to fucking Africa if they hate whities so much.

This doesn't even make sense in the context of the comment you're replying to. Moving back to Africa doesn't make them not the descendants of losers and them hating themselves doesn't have much to do with hating white people.

noice

lel

I'm fully aware of that. A lot of people thought it was just a dumb /pol/ meme but I'd known about it before /pol/ or /new/ or /n/ existed. "Intelligent" black "people" are funny.

yakub was real thought

why is it always on the philadelphia subway??

I think you mean white people.

>"Not bisexual; I'm an intellectual"
did you improperly capitalize just to disturb my tism

DANG

There's nothing improperly capitalized in that, dumbshit.

dont take it out of context bro

>my styles switches like a faggot
>but not bisexual; i'm an intellectual

it's funny to see academics celebrating the 20 years anniversary of illmatic it's filled with safe-space destroying homophobia

I mean, it's obviously a metaphor.

I doublefist drinks, at least.

But all I gained from that is alcoholic neuropathy, throat cancer and a damaged liver, so.

Lol ok usually racist jokes on Veeky Forums are infantile/unimaginative at best but this ones was good.

Yeah dude any other black person would find this odd too. I don't know how you've come to construct this image of black american culture but it's a bit off mate lol

Don't forget that the shit I write is even tougher than dykes

t.guy who has illmatic stuck in his car's CD player

p sure it's stuff that I write senpai

...

That's not called doublefisting, that's called being a drug-addicted jackass who willingly poisons himself.

>blocks ur path
>asks you if you're an intellectual

At least ONE of them are

kek

>reading Plato on the subway
>Parmenides, struggling to understand
>black guy next to me glances over
>"Are you an intellectual ?"
>"Not really."
>"That's why you read Plato"
>he smiles and leaves a few stations later
>come home and try thinking of comebacks in the shower

what the fuck

as an american black, intellectual culture is a white man's game.

now, if you mean winning, a constant desire to win and cheat and beat everything else, despite being totally incompetent mentally, then yes, niggas want to be intellectuals, not for cherishing the light fluffy crust of thought, but because they think it's something to win and that's all, the word "intellectual" usually means "why you talking like YT" otherwise.

topkek this is great

'Not' isn't the first word in the quoted sentence, actual dumbshit.

Fuck you. You can't relive the past, fag.

It's an old pasta.

This.

I think it's a vicious circle of there not being too many legitimate black intellectuals, so when black people try to venture into new ideas and look to black writers their options are: Nation of Islam numerology bullshit, modern academic sociological ressentiment, the repetitive and narrow ideology of postcolonial studies, Afrocentric history, the navel-gazing of critical race theory, and the shallow analysis of black pop culture that masquerades as representing a deeper truth when all it offers is high school-tier essays on rap songs. There are of course good black intellectuals (mostly historians on Africa and slavery) but they get none of the coverage of their more provocative colleagues.

All this is made worse by white academics who try to encourage "the Black voice" by allowing subpar scholarship to go without valid criticism. The condescension of whites too cowardly to even consider the possibility of a black writer being wrong is one of the biggest obstacles to fostering actually valuable black writing.

There are a ton of black academics but you are just too much of a pseud to know them.

i never implied that there weren't. all i'm saying is the ones who get coverage, the ones who would be recognizable to someone just starting to read "serious" literature, are mostly from the categories i listed. it's just more likely that people will be attracted to provocative but shitty writers like coates rather than drier more valuable writers like henry louis gates

Love him or hate him, le black science man is at least one of the most prominent and reasonable black academic role models

>tfw my old african-american history professor croaked and they named a "cultural institute" in the school after him, so now generations of students will probably think he was some rich white guy who donated a bunch of money, but i'll always have the life experience of being in his class and having to do my presentation by myself because i was to autistic to get a partner and then after doing a pretty good job if i do say so myself he asked me about the role of the church in the post-reconstruction african american community or some shit and as an edgy athiest marxist at the time i didn't even bother to study that aspect and i started getting flustered and he was like "it's ok it's ok you did pretty well"

Yeah that is actually reasonable, sorry for the snarkiness

Lol. Sounds like fun times.

Amazing shop

Why would you be taking african-american history lessions?

whoa i didnt think anyones ever apologized to me here. respect

I'm sorry to hear that.

if you can find it, back in the 90s The Teaching Company, who now make those Great Courses classes, did a series called Superstar Professors or something, and they had one with Willam W. Cook from Dartmouth called US Literary History, it was only released on cassette, but you can find torrents of it, shit is amazing, dude is so underrated, but unfortunately i just saw he actually passed last spring...i couldn't find any talks or lectures by him anywhere other than the aforementioned lecture series, and this is the only video of him i could find anywhere on the internet at all, and if you're racist then you're really going to hate it, but assuming you are earnestly seeking dank african-american scholars you can get a sense of his erudition from it

Eh brother it is good to admit when I'm wrong. No religion higher than truth.
