  1. Yes, because it is such a wildly inaccurate statement. Why would I invest my time reading more? Plus I don't know enough about the the subject you and CHevdove are talking about to participate in a meaningful way. Do really believe that humans are billions are years old!? I'm not going to debate facts with you, because you've demonstrated that facts don't mean anything when they conflict with the world view.

    FaceBook could never be accused of not having a sense of humor. 😄
  3. @Pioneer1 Yes, this is true. But this also goes in line of your constant usage of the word 'Caucasian' although, I understand what you mean, so it doesn't bother me. As likewise, that term 'mankind' is not completely what you believe as it is used in other scholarly respects, but again, it doesn't bother me if you don't view it that way. In an earlier post, you said that you don't use the word 'HOMINID' and yet again, I understand and it is okay, but, this would be a technical term used by scientist who have systematically classified humans with the SCIENTIFIC PROCESS. It is like saying to me, that you don't use the common English word 'LION' or 'GRIZZILY BEAR' or 'GIRAFFE' or etc. Unfortunately, we don't always get to pick the terms. That is okay because this is a challenging area due to the deception of this system in how it set up to be an empire and orchestrate a slave system that lasted for hundreds of years. Nevertheless, it is a typical DIVIDE AND CONQUER tactic based on GENDER CONFLICTS. I don't know about you as a Black man, but I could not even make a count of how many times other men have told me and tried to convince me how useless Black men were in the attempt to try to win my affections. I will admit, I appreciate men from all walks of life, but my choice was based on my upbringing, being around my relatives. But men compete on all levels for women even if it to highlight a person's negative aspects of ethnicity and cultural pitfalls.
  4. Why should I? If everything else flows from the crazy statement that you made below. Where did you learn this information? Again there is nothing to debate here if you are operating on the premise that so called "Black" people roamed the Earth billions of years ago. The Earth's atmosphere was not even breathable 1/2 a million years ago... Again, I know you will never change your mind or God forbid retract a statement and admit you made a mistake, so I will not try to convince you otherwise. Do you understand now?
  5. Obviously failing to understand the difference between the two words is what is muddling his reasoning. I've heard it often said that words don't have meaning; only people do. This is what is causing a great deal of strife in our political discourse; where there are no objective facts and the truth is purely subjective, open to interpretation, a matter of opinion. When the very definition of words are open to opinion, it is impossible to have a meaningful discourse because the participants are speaking a different language without an interpreter.

  7. It means ouch that looked like it hurt when Cynique opened uo that can of whoop ass.
  8. Right there but you don't see it. The world keeps spinning The US is a nominal republic and practical oligarchy. That doesn't mean all republics are oligarchies. If you had said the US functions like an oligarchy even though it's a republic. You would have made a subtle distinction.

    People need meaning in their life and they want to be part of something bigger than themselves. Apple isnt selling computers they are selling membership into a club comprised of artistic altruistic thinkers. Apple consumers worship Steve Jobs like a rock star. And just likea a rock concert. They camp out to consume the latest offerings. The product is sold but it is the perception of image and community that is consumed. This applies to following products : Religion; soda; music ; restaurants, universities ; clothing ; sexual identity ; sports ; weight lifting; race et cetera. Identity is a chimera it means what we believe it means. (it is like race a subjective construct) So purchasing products helps to create and sustain identity. When was the last time you drank OE 800?
  10. @ChevdoveI do owe you my notes which I'm still gathering to package. In the meantime, I found this some time ago and used some of the information to create the "fictional" events in my novel. I haven't verified all these accounts but it appears you have; so you might find this interesting - HISTORIA AFRICANA calendar that begins in 100,000 bce to the present. http://www.africanfront.org/calendar.php Just in case someone changed some, I copied and pasted every single page for my files. And I posted it here too http://thedailymindf-ck.blogspot.com/2011/10/historia-africana-part-i.html http://thedailymindf-ck.blogspot.com/2011/10/historia-africana-part2.html http://thedailymindf-ck.blogspot.com/2011/10/historia-africana-part-3.html http://thedailymindf-ck.blogspot.com/2011/10/historia-africana-part-4.html

    @Cynique 🎤 -drop This is a powerful statement! The truth of it hit me unexpectedly -I got tears. Damn!!! This right here is the truth of all of us ....and the truth is in its simplicity.
  12. @Pioneer1 the initial conversation was referring to sexual assault and rape of minors. Child beauty pageants aren't indicative of that type of criminal activity. If it were , or even if making that leap wasn't nonsensical, child beauty pageants would be illegal. Further you stated that "caucasians" were proned to sexual assault and rape minors. Child beauty pageants, children wearing makeup and dressing in party dresses and gowns is NOT sexual assault and rape. Further, although they may get more publicity, children's beauty pageants are not limited to "caucasians"... Seriously, look outside of the world you've created for yourself. I can't tell you how many black church beauty pageants, fashion shows, debuntante balls and cotillions I've seen or was in while growing up. Hal Jackson's International talented teen pageant was a huge event for years... I was a contestant when I was 14 years old... The fashion industry used to use models who were young as 12 years old. Most designers use children because they don't have curves or muscles. Therefore, you could see the haute couture designs without focusing on the body wearing it. Unfortunately for the young models, some grotesque individuals pursued the children for sex i.e., The perverts sexualized the children; not the clothing. Now most of the fashion industry is closed to young models who could earn good money for college etc. But that didn't stop the perverse from trafficking children for their perverted pleasure. Once again human trafficking for sex isn't specific to one culture, ethnicity etc but rather those who have the most power. Further, the concept of sexualizing girls or boys is in the mind of the beholder. I don't look at children and think "sex"... I don't care what they are wearing. Babies are babies period. Those who see children as sex objects are mentally deficient and color has nothing to do with it. This perverse activity springs up in all cultures - as you can see a with the bishop feeling on Ariana Grande in front of the world. And like Chevdove mentioned a black man doing it - is the worst in my book. Especially since most black women are more inclined to date and marry a black man before considering anyone else. Therefore black women hold black men to a higher standard full stop. If however you still want to limit pedophilia to an ethnic group think about many African tribes and those who practice islam who still take young girls for "wives"... There are many ethnic groups practicing their so-called religion who make it "legal" to molest, sexually assault and rape children.
