Notice

The Format of this blog seems to stump many people. The template was created by Josh Peterson and tweeked by me, it is a 2 column blog where the right column is also split into 2 columns. It aslo has a single column at the bottom with additional 2 columns below that. Every thing in these columns are links to other pages or sites as well as the links we add in the post themselves. If you wish to leave a comment you must do so on the individual post which can be found under the Blot Archive.

This is only the Blog for the website SavageTalonsMedia. Please feel free to look around and let us know what you think.

I just have to share this, so many people caught up with race issues...

Not Black Enough !? SERIOUSLY !!??!!


.by Calvin Washington on Saturday, October 16, 2010 at 1:01am.
Wasn't sure about posting this, but WTF !! If one more person...No, make that one more BLACK person whom I DON'T EVEN KNOW walks up to me & tells me I don't "...act black enough !" , I'm gonna possibly commit my first Homicide !! My Skin Tone & Facial features are Race Specific enough that, despite the diversity of my lineage, I can legitimately be called African-American, although, since I didn't immigrate , but was BORN HERE, I consider myself An AMERICAN ! But, back to the Point ! The way I Talk, Act, Think, Dress, Live, whatever IS the Way a Black Man Acts ! It is the Way THIS Particular Black Man, Mr. Calvin 'CMan' Washington, Acts !! And I am NOT on this planet to fit ANYBODY'S pre-determined definition regarding how to be Black, be Gay or anything else ! So, to those reading this, you need to Define me, Fine ! But if You don't like the Definition of ME ,then Hit the DELETE button, cause ya better know that I WILL and so Hard & Fast that you'll have the letter "D" permanently imprinted on your forehead !



( And I'd like to add that I'm not unaware of how this rant feeds into that Angry Black Man stereotype ! ;-)

  1. im really sorry 2 read about this it has made me feel angry ... its like being judged without knowing the person (i maybe bit off mark i apologise) but its like it with me some ask me if im gay as i still find it hard enough 2 even speak about it as i had hassle at work a few years ago and even when i get asked i just say "im not comfortable or dont want 2 talk about it" but u still get judged no matter what. im glad when i approach people like u and rick i RESPECT U i wish some people would THINK B4 THEY SPEAK thats my opinion but i would hope this person sees sense and apologises, if that was me personally and was out of turn i would apologise but thats just ignorant!
