The Self Described Blackest Man On The Internet Calls Out "Skip" Gates On His High Profile "Bitch-Assness" (my words not his)

Blogger under the alias Denmark Vesey who describes himself as "the blackest man on the internet" says the following regarding Professor Gates:

"If you call yourself "Skip",
If you marry a woman who looks like Edith Bunker,
If your claim to fame is to have been allowed to work at Harvard,
If you are known as a preeminent black scholar and writer but no black people can quote you,
If you identify yourself as "Half-white",
If you identify your children as "Half-white",
If you are proud of the fact you live in a "white" neighborhood,
If when you move into a new house you report to the local precinct to introduce yourself to the police ...The first time a police officer upsets you - You Cannot Yell "It's Because I'm A Black Man In America!"

No. It is because you are a Plantation Negro in a white neighborhood."


Dang....I couldn't have said it better myself. He goes on to say in comments and this is just beautiful....

"Gates is making a bitch move by implying his actions had nothing to do with what happened and that it was strictly a function of his skin color.Ya'll Plantation Negros still think "blackness" is a game of mindless group identity victim politics.When bad shit happens "Itz Cuz Iz Bwak!"

In the comments, Conservative Black Woman explains what a "plantation negro" is.

>>A "plantation negro" is aside from being an ugly term a term which describes a black person who subscribes to mindless identity politics of victimhood...CONSTANTLY. A "plantation negro" is more concerned with his "community" than his family. A "plantation negro" feels entitled because the "plantation" owes him. The "plantation negro" likes being on the plantation and a part of the community because it's easier to point a finger and rest in victimhood than it is to take responsiblity to effect positive changes in your life. "Plantation negroes are so excited about Barack Obama because they feel they can get more booty from the "plantation" (government)since the "overseer" is a black(ish) man. Basically, the "plantation negro" feels utterly scorned by this country because they are still enslaved mentally.
