  1. Hmh.......... Let me see .......... When my high school history teacher and football coach seemed to turn up in places when I got off the city bus in big ole San Diego, way on the other side of the city ....... there he was in his van------ offering me a ride...... when he told me I had to do after school study or I'd fail and could not graduate, and even though I took my friend with me..... he demanded that she leave because she was passing and then, she left....... he pressed against me..... i was 16 years old..... a virgin...... and I beg him to get off of me..... and later find out that he did this before and was basically just 'slapped on the hand' and sent to another school......my school.... to do it again!!! Fortunately, he did not continue and he did leave me alone that day.... or 9 months later, I would have had a half White-Italian baby. I was terrified. I did not like it at all. I felt like Kizzie..... as this was the rage during that time. Yes, I do find assertive men attractive, but not creeps. In college, too, and like this situation, there are many creeps. But to do this to ARiande Grande on such an occasion, is unbelievable. Come on, @Pioneer1 on national television! Yes! That is awful. Did you see how he was holding her? That was just ridiculous. Is he married? If he is, then how would you expect his wife to respond. I would completely flip out.

  3. @Pioneer1 Man, this is a ridiculous statement. I know the masses are easily manipulated, but no one will forget the the Catholic Church's offenses because "bishop" grabbed him some grande tittie. We can remember more than one thing at the same time. I listed to video of Dyson's speech. Again I still not not feel like I missed anything. Sounded more like lines from his standup routine and a eulogy for Aretha. The rant against 45, the dig against Obama absence were uncalled for inappropriate -- That kind of rhetoric was apropo for the old Tavis Smiley State of Black America Conference . But this was clearly not a "normal" funeral.
  4. @Pioneer1 you misunderstand the definition of the word oligarchs are not elected. Our government is actually a republic. However our country is arguably essentially an oligarchy, run by plutocrats who have paid off our elected officlas.
  5. @Mel Hopkins @Chevdove Thank you! I didn't read this post by pioneer because i didn't feel like shoveling my way through what i figured would be a lotta crap, but i am sooo glad you two did read it and took the lecherous pioneer to task with your on-point rebuttals! (Of course you risk a reprimand from Del who regularly attacks Troy but thinks folks should go easy on his "little brother" pioneer because he loves some black people - some of the time. And of course pioneer will think y'all are being "thin-skinned" because you criticized his ignorant, boorish mentality.) Unfortunately I, myself, was more focused on Ariana's short dress than on the Bishop's taking liberties. I did think his reference to her name reminding him of Taco Bell, was an attempt at humor that bordered on racism. But y'all put things in proper perspective and, once again, I thank you!
  6. @Pioneer1, it is not ALL the time man, but done in jest or to make stronger point -- never intended to be taken personally ;-) At the risk of being called a homo by Pioneer, I love @Delano.
  7. By @Chevdove I read on from an instagram comment his wife was sitting right behind him. A young woman who said she was a parishioner in his church - said, "I know his heart. He didn't do anything wrong." Needless to say the other instagram posters took her to task for being "blind"... I'm sorry that you had to experience that from someone you should have been able to trust. I'm glad you made it through without him physically harming you. I do know those mental scars are hard to carry though.
  8. @Mel Hopkins YITES!!! Touchez!!!! On Guard! @Pioneer1 Yes, She did pull away. She absolutely looked uncomfortable. @Pioneer1 Come on. Well, what about the other way around. This comment reminds me of one of my past favorite movies '9 to 5' starring Dolly Parton and Jane Fonda.
  9. A Minister is feeling a women up at a public funeral. Hown many levels of wrong is this.
  10. Then by this logic, if it is normal behavior for men, specifically clergy to sexually assault women then the catholic priests are normal.Maybe in an effort to keep their vows they turn their natural inclination on unsuspecting boys. No need for a coverup. Media is just pointing out the widespread activity that also occurs in the black church. Now it makes perfect sense why so many heterosexual men are terrified of homosexual men... If it's natural for men to advance on and assault women when they choose; then it's perfect;y natural for a gay man to feel up on any man he chooses. Got to appreciate the balance in the universe.
  11.   Chev Vilitigo is not 'white as snow' in appearance. Isn't it patchy? Vitiligo starts off patchy, but as it progresses it will eventually turn the ENTIRE BODY white. I also for the most part agree with your assessment about the biblical references to psoriasis but I also believe that the type of so-called "leprosy" that covers the entire body was actually vitiligo in it's end stages because according to Leviticus 13 a certain form of "leprosy" changes the color of the victim's hair. "3 The priest shall examine the sore on the skin of the body; and if the hair on the sore has turned white, and the sore appears to be deeper than the skin of his body, it is a leprous sore. Then the priest shall examine him, and pronounce him [b]unclean. 4 But if the bright spot is white on the skin of his body, and does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and its hair has not turned white, then the priest shall isolate the one who has the sore seven days." Psoriasis DOES NOT affect the color of a person's hair and turn it white, but vililigo does. Psoriasis Vitiligo
