ProfD You make a good point about the new hirees. To them, the new system will just be normal business as usual....not realizing how easy and sensible the "old way" was before they got there. I'm not sure if they do things like that to make the process more efficient. The more conspiratorial part of me....inspired by Neely Fuller Jr.....wonders if they don't install shit like this as TRAPS for more people to lose their jobs. If they are in upper management, it would seem that they're smart enough to know that the most complicated and complex they make things....the more people they will confuse because they won't be able to figure it out. They should automatically factor that in.

Sometimes a person doesn't "walk away" from a fight because they can't. They're LAID OUT....lol. Good! Oh. Kind of like an American-Iran Ceasefire? Where people are still shooting missiles at eachother, downing planes, and destroying shit while a "ceasefire" is in place....lol. Or like an Israeli-Palestinian Ceasefire....where buildings are still being destroyed and people are still killed by the hundreds DURING the "ceasefire"...lol. "The Ceasefire agreed upon last week is still ineffect but is being strained as 3 more cities were destroyed and 597 people were killed overnight in missile strikes on the eastern side of the country."

What sparked me to start this thread was the new "call in" system they installed at work. Where as in the past when you wanted to calling to report being absent or late, you simply called HR and talked to one of the staff directly or left a message on their voicemail for the record. They switched it over to a new system that makes you sign-up, log in, use pass words, limit the number of categories you can choose from, ect... People are reporting problems with it already. I can imagine nearly half of the facility getting in trouble for not following the proper procedure for call-ins now. Just making things extra complicated for no reason what so ever. ProfD Demanding opportunities i.e. asking for a job can enrich some people. IMO, creating opportunities generates wealth which is money that extends beyond a couple of generations. You're right. However again, it goes back to INTELLIGENCE and being smart enough to do this. Most people are NOT smart enough to establish and operate a SUCCESSFUL business. If they were, more business would be in operation and successful. A lot more people are ambitious and bold enough to do so, but many of them still lack the brain power to maintain what they start. And when you generate the wealth, you must SAVE it and PROPERLY USE it.....which again requires intelligence. You can't be smoking it up in weed every night as soon as you get it. "Well......might as well. Can't take it with you when you gone." Black people as a group have amassed wealth over several decades. The next is figuring out how to make it grow exponentially True. A good place to start would be becoming more actively involved in the legal system and the decisions being made. A lot of Black wealth disappears in the legal system from lengthy and frivolous lawsuits and criminal trials designed to eat up their money like Pacman.

Speaking of urinals. I saw a rusty yellow stain on one the other day.......... 🥲 -and thought of you, lol. ((wait for it)) .......and ADJUSTED MY AIM, lol.

Lol..... In order to be "rejected" I would have to first make a proposal, a proposition, shoot my shot. When did any of THIS happen?

But you DID say: The fact that you admit that you find it curious as to why a dark skinned Black woman would rock straight blond hair suggests that you innately find something wrong or odd about this. It doesn't sit right with you even if you try to convince yourself otherwise based on contemporary social norms. You also ask the question....acknowledging the possibility that it could indeed be self-hatred.....before dismissing it. The fact that you said an "innocent" attempt to stand out almost ridicules the idea that when a Black woman dyes her hair blonde....she doesn't deep down know what she's doing and why she's doing it. Few women dye their hair ANY color for some "innocent" reason...lol.

I certainly do. You ain't fooling nobody but yourself....lol.

And what's crazy is, White folks are the same all over the world. It doesn't matter what their religion or nationality is.....they all practice the same racism against people of color regardless as to how it's wrapped. White folks have been known to CHANGE their religions, political affiliations, and even change citizenship....if it makes practicing racism more efficient and effective.

Not at the rate this country is going. They could care less about the debt or how large it gets. And really......they shouldn't. As long as the U.S. has the most powerful military of any nation on this planet, the debt is really a non-issue. It's only a "boogie man" set up to dissuade the people from demanding that the nation spend more money for social services and infrastructure. When it comes to funding wars and military operations, the debt is barely even mentioned. You ask for money to bolster medicaid, medicare, or keep social security from becoming insolvent.....NOW they bring up the debt.

What about the REAL LIFE "fine old men" out there who won't be getting her money? Instead of her AI cybermance, she could have paid one of THEM to get her juices revitalized and flowing again...lol. "Shorty wanna thug?"

frankster Where did I say not support any one or group of peoples? I have always said supporty all Equally by Making available and accessible all forms of Promotion...thereby creaty Equity and parity When you said you'd support EVERYBODY....that really means you WON'T support Black people. Because when you uplift everybody at the same time, you simply maintain the IMBALANCE. Giving EVERYBODY Reparations. It's like a doctor telling a man to keep one of his legs elevated, so in response he gets on an elevator and rides it up to the top floor. What's the point of raising your leg if you're going to raise the rest of you body along with it? Did you not say to focus on Medium? I said medium, dark brown, and black. Ha Ha...so funny....you must be a clown or comedian Would you believe me if I told you I write for Chris Rock? They are benefits and a win for those who contribute and qualified to recieve them... If you qualify for benefits and receive them...it's a GRANT. Not a win. Which is what I told you in the begining. How are YOU going to tell me something that you've been arguing against? I'm the one who told YOU that a win is only in the context of a contest. Now let me amend my previous statement. Being compensated isn't a win, but it can be the RESULT of a win. For example.... You can win a lawsuit, and be compensated some money and other forms of restitution. The money isn't exactly a win...the judgement is. But the money is a direct result OF the win. Being paid is a win See my previous post. When dealing with some one who is not willing to admit to their own posting....it becomes nonsenical to repeatedly repost their own postings as proof. I agree. Which is why I only repost yours one or two times to bring a particular contradiction or error to your attention. If you don't get it; then I leave you alone....lol....let the chronic wear off. Good continue filling.... At some point, when the bin gets TOO full....I'm going to have to start SHREDDING....lol Cool....I have provided my proof - you have used the words Focus on medium - that alone is enough proof Were they arranged in that manner? Focus -> on -> medium Or did you just take those individual words out of their context and RE-arrange them to fit your strawman argument? Yes..... Many scientist and philosophers were considered mad..... Because the simpletons of world could not comprehend their logics and scientific thoughts. Are YOU a scientist or a recognized philosopher? Its reads like an admission....so it is one I'm glad you're not a detective. You'd be locking up everybody brought through the precinct doors. "He said he wanted to talk to his lawyer. That sounds like an ADMISSION OF GUILT to me!" In any case it is a Colorism....which is an evil and cruel practice How do you justify calling colorism "evil"? What religious text did you get that out of? Just say YOU don't agree with it. I'm not sure if you're qualified to judge it and condemn it as "evil". If so why is it wrong? Because it puts AfroAmericans at an unfair disadvantage. I told what I would do....to arrive at Equality Equity and Parity. Which was WRONG. Because what YOU would do wouldn't LEAD to equality or equity. It would simply maintain the imbalance. That is the primary and central thrust to your arguments... It's actually a STRAWMAN that you made up to argue against. I didn't say it and you can't find any quotes OF me saying it. Infact, the quotes you produced show the very opposite. African spoke of Evolution... They do not speak of lower or higher animals Case closed. Now again, my question is who spoke on The Theory Of Evolution before White folks did? I have done so.... I said read and try your best to COMPREHEND what you read. If that was your best, I feel sorry for you. No... Disctrimination is still around.....the enemy is discrimination. I don't know about you, but discrimination isn't necessarily MY enemy. It's only MY enemy if it's discriminating against ME or MY PEOPLE. Both....because the enemy is - Ignorance Not sure if it's THE enemy, but it's certainly AN enemy. I would rather their be not Colorism..in any form Then you're riding the fence. No Oppressor or Oppressed and No Victimizer or Victims That's Heaven. The enemy is unfair treatment in exposure access and availability. For a man who says he believes in fairness and equity, you certainly have a lot of enemies..lol. You can't focus on ALL of the injustices of the world. Sometimes you gotta pick a struggle.

Why is YOUR MIND on MY ASS? You better go and....play "grab ass" with your new AI boyfriend......or something.

Interesting discussion from back in the day....... AALBC.com's Thumper's Corner Discussion Board: Black Hair, permed, blond and more It seems as if back in those days @Troy held the same observations I do.

It's hard to believe nobody else on here thinks dark skinned Black people need have been victims of colorism and need extra attention to help uplift them.

Troy Is that a current picture of you?
