The Cookout

Coondace was born in NY state but raised in Stamford, CT. Her parents divorced and she was raised by her grandmother at about 11 years old. Her fathers side is 100 percent FBA, her mother is half Virgin Islands. Her mother's parents, her grandparents are FBA father, Virgin Islands mother.

Anyone in the NY area knows Stamord is an upper middle class area. Its gone down a wee bit but it was known as a rich area. Lots of the Wall Street bankers commuted from there. The black population has grown to around 13 percent now but it was tiny years ago. She essentially grew up in an upper middle class bougie white area.

Even though only one of her grandparents was from the Caribbean she clung to it. It made her seem less black. "I'm not black, I'm from the Caribbean". That kinda drag. She was ashamed of being black in a rich white town where they looked down on Blacks.

As she said on the breakfast club, she dated Asians in school and college. She was made fun of. Her grandparents didn't have money. Hence she had to drop out of college because of a lack of financial aid. Any New Yorker on this site can tell you Stamford is known for millionaires. My guess and its pure speculation, is that she was teased. She didn't have the money to hang with them rich white kids and they are snotty, rich white brats.

There are one of two ways Blacks usually go in an all white, rich environment. They cling to their blackness and despise the white folks who look down on you or the complete opposite, you are desperate to be accepted.

We know which one Candace chose. My guess is she was raised by the grandparents where one of them was from the Virgin Islands originally so even though she was 3/4 FBA, she clung to the one part that was farthest away from Blackness.

There is no evidence she has ever dated a Black guy. There are tons of Black male conservatives. Trump recently spoke at a conference. Around 8 years ago, racist Steve Bannon spoke at another big gathering. Although they are coons, the Black conservatives tend to have degrees and good jobs. Which, ironically is why they look down on us. She was never ever going to marry a black man, even if she met a high IQ, wealthy one.

Even as a liberal prior to her grift to conservatism, she was dating non blacks.

She was raised by both grandparents, not the one. There are blacks who will cling to anything that is not 100 percent Black. Some of us have grown up with sistas who say their light skin and 'good hair' was because they are Indian. Maybe in some cases, but in our area we knew a lot of that was pure black.

Truth is she is ashamed of being black. She's 3/4 FBA and clings to the 1/4 Caribbean. She uses it as a weapon against American blacks. She should never be invited to a bbq she never wanted to be in in the first place.

America cherry picks its black immigrants. There are poor ASF blacks in Barbados, Nigeria, Jamaica, etc. They don't get a visa to America. You can't get a visa unless you either are middle class and professional or someone sponsors you, either a job or a relative. So you come with a leg up in some form or fashion.

The sad thing is, like me, we grew up with other blacks...FBAs, suffer the same racism, be at each others house, ride and die together on the street and still try to be apart to whites. That is a test of ones character. You either see all Blacks as your fam or you sell out. Also,, you have some who came up in their teens and only live with, associate with and befriend those from their lineage. That's another thing as well. Those Blacks are more likely to be Republican because they have friendships, roots with FBAs. Similarly, FBAs who grew up in all white areas. Them too.
