No, I did not mean to suggest that I found something "innately wrong" with it. I was just curious about the motivation. Sometimes, perhaps often, we do things without understanding the true motivation. It is the same curiosity I have about people who wear spacers in their earlobes, cover their bodies in tattoos, or color their hair purple. I will admit 20 years ago I probably would have been more judgmental about those things. Today I could care less about what a person does with their own body, but I'm still curious about the motivation. Look, white people invented dying hair blond or at least popularized it before Black women began doing it. Obviously, white women were not motivated by race. Maybe it is not racial for our deeply melaninated women either.

I was able to successfully reset my password, so the site's basic functionality has been restored 😊

This week, as a distraction to the dust-up in Iran & stalled negotiations, POTUS OJ decided to disagree with Pope Leo XIV & depict himself as Jesus. Of course, neither Catholics nor Evangelical Christians condemned the actions to any significant degree. I love the phrase as it relates to people in general..."moral relativism & situational ethics". 😁 On a daily basis, the actions of POTUS OJ reinforce what people think, believe &/or are willing to accept.😎

Should I Feature first post? Basically featuring the first post by showing it at the top of every page in the topic? Sometimes on multipage conversation who forget the what the original point of the conversation was supposed to be. Maybe this will keep conversation on track -- maybe it does not matter.

Thanks, man. This whole website upgrade has been a challenge, but things will be much better overall.

The new look is fantastic. @Troy ...thanks again for everything you do & the sweat equity you pour into the site.😎

There are a bunch of thing I need to work through, but the most important thing is that one. You have to use your email address, not your username to login now. Resetting your password does not work yet (did it ever?). I hope to have that working sometime this evening. If you can login you are free to use the forum. After I get the password reset working I'm begin making some esthetic changes. Fun facts: We have been using this software since Sunday, September 13, 2009! The last time I upgraded to a new server was in 2019 and the forum was down for 10 days (at least)!

Right. All they have to do is stop buying his music & attending his concerts. Kanye's So-Fi show this past weekend grossed over $30 million dollars. I'd imagine a lotta white folks were there. Some Jews too.🤣😎

Really? I was an adult before I learned to do this. It is liberating 🙂 This is funny in this context. Otherwise it is not... at least not to me. Was the murdered? The he start the altercation?

...well they the ones paying him. Were it not for y'all I would know nothing about pop-culture. I would not worry about the promoter too much. You gotta buy insurance. T-Boz and Chill lbetter squash their beef and make that paper! "Independent thinker" Is a euphemism for arrogant ignorance. The idiot who does "his own research" in fringe corners of the WWW.

I am sure you are using this out of context....to make some wild and specious point. How can supporting everbody means you not supporting black peoples This is you misinterpreting my post....to suit your arguments The truth and fact of the matter is I dsaid no such thing. I think I said support or promote everybody equally.....One side gets 5 and the other 10 till bot are equal This I know is a definte Misrepresentation I am sure I said all who are "deserving" That Omission tells me a lot about you Based on your reasoning......You are the only person who I know would get that meaning from the doctors instruction. Are you now then denying that you said focus on Medium???? Why does it matter what I believe? To many it is a win Obviously you are confused. They are both wins See My Previous post Liar You have never done such.... What you have done is post an obvious misintrepretation. It is of no concern to me They are not in the arrangement you specified but they are in context and meaning accurate and true Below is some of your relevant post So you are proposing to teach that beauty exist only in "medium"? No. Medium brown, dark brown, and black. Not that beauty ONLY exists in these shades, but these shades are the focus. Yes I do... Which or who do you want to exclude? For a period of time....all of them EXCEPT medium brown, dark brown, and black. No, medium and dark skin specifically. Neither But I did take science in HS and my friends call me 'Philosopher' Are you a doctor? Again with your irrelevant examples They do exist..... I Do not need a religious text....to know that it is evil Do You need a religious text to know that it is evil/bad/wrong I do not agree with it.... Do you agree with it? We all know what evil is....we just choose not to recognize it - usually for selfish reasons.... How do I know we all are qualified.....It is written it scripture and in our hearts - called Conscience How so? As An Aside your use of the word AfroAmerican.....does the prefix Afro means African or Black African or Both? There can be no misunderstanding in what I meant... For you made it a simple and straight forward Mathematical Problem...... please review our previous exchange.... Why not just add 15 to the 5.....and leave the 20 as it is That is how we achieve equity parity and equality Read my quote wherein a posted your use of the word focus.... Even so This African is regarded and Recognized as an early thinker on natural selection and adaptation... This African also Proposed that environmental factors influence the survival of species. Emphasized the importance of competition among species for resources.....Survival of the Fittest Also Suggested that animals adapt to their surroundings over generations.....Sex selection Why does it matter? They did not called it The Theory of Evolution..... Then do.....feel sorry for you Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. Never again can we afford to live with the narrow, provincial "outside agitator" idea. Anyone who lives inside the United States can never be considered an outsider anywhere within its bounds. https://www.africa.upenn.edu/Articles_Gen/Letter_Birmingham.html It is The Enemy Colorism is Schism That is the goal we should all strive to achieve......here on earth Ignorance it is..... Ignorance take many forms....
