  1. News Says The Racist Moron Donald Trump Plan To Go To Black Churches. It Amazes Me How Stupid Black Christians Are.If A Black Church Allows Trump In, The Church Should Put Confederate flag, Swastika Flag Next To The Church Cross..Trump Should Take Racist Idiot Grand Dragon David dukes with him to black churches..Black Church Choirs Would Sings At Klan Rallies If Preachers Told Them To.Black Religious Are Morons. Democrats almost as bad. News Talks About Trump Being White Supremacist, News Not Saying White Police Have Been Fired For Being In White Supremacist Groups..Neo Nazi In The U.S. Military.They Talk About ISIS, Terrorist Groups,This Country Has Presidential Candidate Being Supported by a Terrorist Organization Members, neo Nazi, and The FBI see no Problem, With That...
  2. Bottom line: A strong woman doesn't have to be muscular, loud and aggressive. She can be supple, subtle and reserved. Strength can come from within, like the proverbial "steel fist in a velvet glove".
  3. CD I didn't say there was anything "wrong" with women being strong. But seeing as how physical strength is primarily a MASCULINE trait among humans, it only makes sense that it wouldn't be a desirable trait for most women to have. It's what women look for in men, but not necessarily what men look for in women. Most men who are looking for "strong women" are looking for someone to take care of them... LOL. But I'm not going to qualify or disqualify it from a moral point of view. It's no more "wrong" for a woman to be masculine than it is for someone to be lazy, obese, or stupid..... These are generally undesirable characteristics that often put people at odds with their social surroundings, but I'm not the one to say whether or not they are "wrong". As far as Black women being oversexed. I don't think Black women are actually promoted ENOUGH sexually, especially in a positive light. And there ARE positive and negative sexualities. White women's bodies are show far more often than Black women. Almost every movie has them getting naked showing their breasts, butt, and even pubic hair. Their sexuality is promoted far more than Black women. But it's usually done in a posivite light that promotes and glorifies them, while Black women are often portrayed in slutty prostitutish ways that make them look vulgar and desparate or like trifling gold diggers.
  4. Cynique I seriously think it's a meme. I think social engineers get together from time to time and put out new words and phrases just to see how much influence they have over people. They start showing movies or producing television shows where people are told to talk a certain way and then they sit back and wait to see how quickly it influences the public and people actually begin to talk that way. I also agree that Obama has a Black vibe or swag. He has a lot of "coolness" about himself and tremendous confidence that comes with being as brilliant as he is intellectually. The coolness and brilliance work together to generate powerful charisma. You can see how he struts when he walks as well as how he gives men "bro hugs" shaking one hand while embracing with the other that Black men started and others are just now catching up to. No other president would have even ATTEMPTED this:
  5. EMM Can you prove your a so-called African-American? No. Nor did I call myself an African-American...so-called or otherwise. Can you prove the so-called Jewish are Jews? No more than you can prove they aren't. Do you question the identity of the so-called Jewish people or Israeli? I used to, when it was important to me. Not any more. You never awaken asking Who I Am? If someone in 2016 is still using English so broken as "who I am"....maybe they need to go BACK to sleep....lol. What's your nationality? American. Anyone born on U.S. soil is a U.S. citizen. Israel means one who fights with God? It does according to the Bible you quote from...... Genesis ch.32: 22 That night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two female servants and his eleven sons and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. 23 After he had sent them across the stream, he sent over all his possessions. 24 So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. 25 When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. 26 Then the man said, "Let me go, for it is daybreak." But Jacob replied, "I will not let you go unless you bless me." 27 The man asked him, "What is your name?" "Jacob," he answered. 28 Then the man said, "Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome." According to these scriptures, he struggled with God AND other humans. According to the scriptures the nation of Israel went around from kingdom to kingdom slaughtering men, women, and children and taking land from people who did absolutely NOTHING to them.....claiming "God" sent them to do it. And THAT'S the people you want to identify yourself with? As far as the rest of your statements concerning the suffering the descendants of slaves are going through and the lack of self knowledge...... Can you show me the descendants of slave who have RECEIVED this knowledge and are now HEALTHY, RICH, with NICE HOMES, and are TECHNOLOGICALLY MORE ADVANCED than the other descendants of slaves? If not, how do we know this particular knowledge that you're promoting is the solution unless it puts you in a superior condition to those who lack it?
