While #AlfonsoRibeiro has always expressed gratitude for the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’s success, the 49-year-old has also been vocal about how being typecast as a character like Carlton has been made him feel ostracized from the Black community at large. “It still happens almost every day, unfortunately,” Ribeiro told the Atlanta Black Star about having his Blackness challenged. “I am in a mixed relationship. And I get things and looks and comments constantly. And I find it very interesting because you see a lot of things on social media where people say things and people have positions and perspectives. And it’s not easy to make that choice, because you’re not at home in any home. I’m never going to be white and I’m never going to be fully supported in the Black house.” Ribeiro married writer Angela Unkrich — who is white — in 2012, which he said has contributed to his feeling like the Black community doesn’t accept him. “I’m in my own little world with support from almost no one, to be in love with someone I’ve fallen in love with. How does that make sense? It doesn’t,” he said. “We all want to live in a world where everyone is accepted for being and loving and living the way they choose to live. I will support any person that wants to live in a world that they want to live in.” “I live in a mixed world. I love in a mixed world. I live in a Black world, and I love in that world. I feel everyone should be supported,” he continued. He implied that these perceptions have led to the BET Awards neglecting to invite him, despite being so well known for The Fresh Prince. “I laugh at the fact that I am a mainstream television host, been in the game forever and I could purchase tickets to go to the BET Awards. So it is what it is. I’m not going to purchase the ticket…But at the end of the day, if that’s the view they take, then that’s the view they take. I can’t change their mind. All I can do is live my life and be me and be the best version of me. And continue to love everybody equally, and let it fall where it falls.” Source: #atlantablackstar

Some of you saw me post about this in the past but it's worth talking about again.

I know this pain all too well. Nothing hurt my heart more than being made to feel like I wasn't black enough for my own people. Even as an adult I still feel like an outsider. And every time I wanna have some kind of connection I keep seeing scene after scene of black people tearing down other black people over some bullshit purity test that makes me want to wall myself up even further.

All of it just makes me relive the hell of my younger years over and over again.

I was black on black bullied brutally for not acting black enough. But no matter what I did or did not do I was still accused of trying to act white even when I was trying to act black enough for them. I had textbooks Thrown at me. I was kicked downstairs. I was even stopped in the street in front of some off duty cops. The bullying got so bad I came 2 blocks short of bringing a gun to school. And why was me being different worth making my life a living hell? Oh yeah all the trendy stuff black wanna gatekeep as their own. Oh being a blerd it's cool now but not too long ago black nerds were punished by other black people for trying to act white. How the fuck do you get mad a black kids for having good grades or Speaking proper English or reading. We were hated, harassed and bullied for trying to do anything positive and constructive. But now our community wants to pretend it was always in support of the same hobbies and interests we got punished for having. BUT GOD FORBID I SPEAK UP ABOUT WHAT I HAVE BEEN THROUGH BECAUSE ADDRESSING THE FUCKED UP SHIT BLACK PEOPLE HAVE DONE TO OTHER BLACK PEOPLE MAKE YOU A TRAITOR.

First I've heard about his ordeals continuing.

He's a good dude. Makes me sad he's had to deal with the same shit for so long. I hope one day the lessons his character taught are taken to heart by all. It's sad that those lessons are still needed.

So this scene was based on his actual experience? Wow.

White privilege is being able to act anyway you want without the fear of not being "white" enough

Watch "Kudlow reveals which area will take the greatest hit from tax hikes" on YouTube

Working people, grab your ankles and grit your teeth. These communist democrats in congress are going to raise your taxes. They are going to drive most small business out of business with higher taxes. Larger businesses are going overseas to escape higher taxes. Finally billionaires will have new loopholes.

I am obsessed with this.

So because parkour is such a ridiculously male dominated sport, the "correct technique" for a lot of these movements that you're taught when you become an instructor plays to a male body's strengths: upper body strength, higher center of gravity, etc.

She demolishes this course by moving in ways that make sense for her body. She doesn't muscle her way up to her over a wall, she just throws a leg up over the wall. She doesn't use upper body strength to do the salmon ladder, she uses her hips!!! And it's fucking incredible.

So many girls and young women walk away from parkour because every movement caters to the strengths of men, because doing what makes sense for their bodies is seen as "bad technique" to be trained away.

If pre-transition me had seen this I would have cried tears of joy.

She is taking advantage of the strengths of HER body rather than the "correct" strengths, and it is HELLA FUCKIN IMPRESSIVE.

Like, that salmon ladder omg??? Any male trainer who wasn't willing to work with a person's distinct strengths would tell her she should hang by her arms and go up one rung at a time. But she uses her core strength to go from being above the bar to swinging and using momentum to move it up FOUR RUNGS and then in an equally smooth move across to the other side.

She probably wouldn't be able to finish this course if she stuck to the "correct" way of doing things, but she's doing them in ways that allows her to use her strength to her advantage, and so she fuckin demolishes it.

I'm just fuckin in love.
