I think he is puffed up. He has puffed himself right out of the black community and out of caring about anyone, including the children, who are still stuck in the ghetto. I understand wanting people to get themselves together, but if he has not offered himself up as a role model and mentor, then I personally think he should have refrained from making this post.

I'm skeptical that the OP is even black and if he is my question is:

What are you doing to show our black children that there are greater things to which they can aspire?

Your success does not make you an Uncle Tom and your total assimilation does not make you a bad person. Your negative comments and looking down upon others does, however, make you an a**hole.

While this is a decent conversation to have, the person that started the thread is white. Just thought you should know.

<quoted text>Maybe he's sick and tried of people calling him white lover..etc..I've heard it all myself..Continue to check out my post's...AKJ...They spam me to death. I can relate to that..

As I said, I have received my fair share of hate, even from my own family members. I am just not a proponent of looking out only for self. Maybe I am naive, but I'm not changing. I will continue to work within the black community to make it a better place. I've never lived in a black neighborhood, but what happens in the "hood" still is of concern to me.

<quoted text>No. C/F. They WANT all of what life has to offer; they just have no idea how to attain it. So, they spew anger at those that are successful; that is so much easier than looking in the mirror and blaming self.

Right.They don't realize how foolish and ignorant they sound when they say that you're tryna be white when you get an education , speak proper english ,and intelligently.

It's like in their minds successful people who talk elegantly,and use proper english = white,while ghetto talkin ignorant brainless acting people =black,and if you're black and talk intelligently without acting ghetto and stupid you're tryna be white.

My question to them is what exacly is talking black? Talking stupid ,and ghetto ? If so ,that shows you what they think of themselves and their race.

I am not surprised. Face it: black folks continue to provide great entertainment value for whites - especially mischievous ones.

This forum is like a giant "Sanford & Son" episode for too many people....

I'm not buying Malcolm's story yet. With all his/her accomplishments and he/she is on this side putting down Black people. If this story is true Malcolm needs to get a life and stopping worrying about people who wear 'urban wear'. Please.

Why? He needs to tell them that they are on the wrong path. Why are you against him saying it? Do you want your people to get ahead or not?

Hell, us Uncle Toms move outta the ghetto ASAP!!! Don't need a bunch of low rent haters calling you white behind your back!!! Better act, think and talk white and be successful than keep it real while living off of welfare, dodging bullets or having OWW children.

Yes, I have my MBA and through hard work have reached an upper level management position in a large investment firm. I have friends of every race, though mostly white and asian. I have moved out of the crappy black community and married an asian woman. I invest in stocks and bonds and not platinum chains and 22" chrome wheels. I dress in Lands End clothes and not baggy, rodeo clown looking "urban wear".
Don't hate you gold tooth, baggy jeans wearing, baby mama drama having,$8.50 an hour "keeping it real" GED having Knee-Grow "gangstas"!!!

There's nothing wrong with being successful, BUT there is A LOT wrong with calling yourself an Uncle Tom - it shows where your head's at and means you subconciously feel inferior about being Black!
