Black men SHOULD have rallied around Sherrone Moore instead of lambasting him all over social media. Yes, he's responsible for his actions. No, if he actually committed the crimes he was accused of he shouldn't have done it. I'm not saying he made the best decisions. Some of them WERE foolish in my opinion. However a White man who did the same thing probably wouldn't have gotten fired. Also, even if a White man had committed those crimes....his picture and image wouldn't have been plastered all over the media for the world to see as an example. However in this world, one of the BIGGEST crime is powerlessness. Not being able to defend yourself physically or in the media. Because no matter how much you're victimized....those who are smarter and with more power will find a way to make YOU look like the "bad guy" and make themselves look like the good guy. He did what many if not most heterosexual men do when they are in positions of power....USED it. Men have sex with women. That's what we do. Hate to break the hard news to some of you who may have thought otherwise, but that's the truth! Well.... What about him being married and cheating on his wife? What about him chasing White women around? What about inappropriate relationships with co-workers? Except for the last one....I wouldn't have engaged in either of those actions, personally. But I'm not going to side with the enemy to take down or lambast an intelligent and successful Black man who used his power and position to get pussy. That's what men have been doing for THOUSANDS if not MILLIONS of years. White men do it. Asian men do it. Arab men do it. Black men aren't and shouldn't be an exception. I say the same thing about this situation as I do about the Somalis and how they're going after them. If we're going to stay out of it...then we need to stay out of it. But atleast don't HELP the damn enemy go after other Black folks. Even if they aren't going to defend him, at the very least Black men in the media and social media should atleast just keep their mouths shut on the situation and talk about something else. No need to help the enemy (racists) target and go after a successful intelligent Black man who made an unwise decision.

I think we may be overlooking the bigger picture..... Yes he's responsible for HIS actions. And if he actually did what he was accused of doing.....NO he shouldn't have committed those crimes. However the bigger picture is he was another Black man who is being used as an example by a racist system. The bigger picture...and bigger crime...is not being powerful enough to prevent what happened to him in the first place This is probably going to sound silly, but Black men SHOULD have rallied around him instead of lambasting him all over social media as they are doing. If you KNOW a person is a victim of racism, even if they had a hand in their victimization....you don't pile on and side with the enemy against them. It's like blaming a rape victim for the clothes she was wearing or the lifestyle she was living.

Right. No shortage of examples. N8gglets posting up with snow bunnies and losing it all. Unfortunately, Sherrone Moore won't be the last n8gglet to lose millions of dollars based on his owns actions .

The USA allows freedom of choice and expression that does not exist in other countries. -

It could be used in such a way. So far, social media doesn't have a doctrine that requires people to follow instructions and take actions and live a certain way. -
Understood. Enjoy those African women as long as any cultural differences do not present hurdles. Many African women use a ton of make-up and foundation to lighten themselves to appear less dark and look more European. Too many Black folks have been conditioned to h8te themselves. That's a real problem.

How many guys are we talking about Pioneer, five, a dozen? The problem with your reasoning here is that this is just your personal experience, anecdotes. It’s not data. You’ve heard the story about the blind people feeling different parts of the elephant and coming away with a completely different understanding of what the animal is? Your personal experience is analogous to this so you touching the elephants tusk and thinking the whole elephant is smooth and hard, get it?

Sorry, I thought that was obvious no, of course not. I missed that question. I don’t think so but I guess it depends on what you mean by it.. A ”little something?” Dude you said you read the book multiple times and parts of it in various languages that’s more than a little something.

White men generally look older than Black people of the same age and he looks just straight up younger than her so I’m not surprised he’s younger.

Apparently you got KICKED OUT of the "academy" a few years ago. Which explains why you eventually came BACK to AALBC after your lengthy hiatus....lol. -

"He AIN'T go find out! Cuz ain't nobody go TELL him! Now git yo' nosy ass back upstairs and make yo' mamma some mo' money! 'Fo I put you back out on Central Avenue and make you work your way BACK up. Lil' jive ass nothin' ass ho!"

For somebody who doesn't care about me, you sure did use "you" a lot in this recent post. My previous post was much longer than yours and I think I only mentioned "you" once....lol.

@Pioneer1You are incapable of self examination. Objectivity is a foreign concept to you. You are the victim of your ego. Also a loser. -

Neeley Fuller is obviously your god. His words are your gospel, his image your idol. Social media is multi-faceted, encompassing many subjects and issues. Using your methodology, it could also be an academy. -

And I made my position clear: "A capable man is not threatened by a woman." You're standing on shaky grounds. -
You can't speak for all black women. You don't know what their sentiments are when it comes to relationships with white men. As usual you're creating false or anecdotal scenarios. You just can't accept the idea that all black men are not better than all other men. Or that each interracial coupling has to be judged on an individual basis. You are a bigoted black supremist.

ProfD You wonder why I have a "soft spot" for Africans? One of the reasons I'm so attracted to African women is because they exude natural femininity and shut down the disgraceful myth of the "strong masculine Black woman" that America has so celebrated for nearly 50 years. Through out much of America's history, they only wanted White women to be the standard of delicacy and femininity. They pushed the masculine role on to the Black woman, and many in our community actually embraced this nonsense. But African women come to America and no matter what they've seen and been through back home, they STILL have light voices and are very feminine and act like women. White men see this and many of them try to snatch them up and marry them. I've seen so many White men actually get angry, offended, and even defensive with Black American men OVER African women! Many of them act as if African women are THEIR women and Black men should stay away from them! When a woman ACTS like a woman....she makes a man want to ACT like a man. Now some will say, "A man shouldn't need a woman to make him act like a man....he should just naturally act like one". While this is true, some men...many men...need to be primed or encouraged into doing so. Whether they "should" or "shouldn't need this is a discussion unto itself, but the fact is many do....and if that's what it takes to force a generation of young men to get off their lazy ass and stop smoking the weed and get busy building....then that's what it takes! Let's be glad there IS a solution to the problem and then apply it.

You're correct to say " in other words".....because those words are OTHER than my own...lol. I didn't say this. I made my position crystal clear. -

In others words, you're fine with women as long as they "stay in their place". One thing is sure; a capable man is not threatened by a woman. -
1. How are they "getting away" with something THEY usually don't initiate nor do they usually enjoy personally. I understand that much of the sexual contact between White men and Black women aren't forced or rape. I'm saying that White men tend to like and enjoy the very act itself far more than Black women do, who are usually doing it out of some sort of economic gain. 2. You don't know WHAT kind of harm it's doing to the community short term or long term for so many Black women to freely have sexual relationships with White men under this system. Many Black women will CLAIM the man they're with loves her, but slowly he starts introducing all kinds of freakish sexual themes into the relationship that goes against everything she was raised to value...and she accepts it. Then he starts being racist and talking racists...first about OTHER Black folks....then to her ABOUT her....and she accepts that too. Behaviors like this are common among Black women who involve themselves into relationships with White men. They may start off nice, sweet, and respectful but devolve into something grotesque and demonic. It reminds me of that movie Monster's Ball where Halle Berry ends up having sex with the same White man who is responsible for the death of her husband and son! "Go ahead...I'm listening. What else did they do???"

Lol. Yes, I can.
