    Commitment: Can I get you to make me a promise? Can I get you to see passed the undertaking of my hearts desires? I promise you love and devotion, which by today’s society is far from the norm. In becoming attentive to the needs of others, one can cause self-harm. My loyalty is more than the trust that I extent to the dedication called us. Faithfulness is the underdog of fidelity when adherence is no longer a must. My resolve said you are worth the time sacrificed, but do I take what is given at the cost of a life. We were supposed to walk as one, an allegiance standing its ground, refusing to retreat. However the bond that brought us back to heel was a facility to the pain, which was real. Your pledge an oath told to the old that promised fairytales to the very young, was the contract that promised mystic retreats had me rethinking the pact that you had made with me. So many decisions were made back then and I was amazed you consider me a friend. I guaranteed you me at the cost of them, not contemplating the contract end. The resolution was supposed to bring me peace of mind but is was only affirmation of a kinder time when you could feel me in the breeze of the night and the vows we made said we’d be alright. Yet reality has a way of creeping in with no assurance of where ties begin. It is only a burden when duty pressures an engagements end, and the arrangements made were to consider the obligation of a lifelong friend. Never the less, here we sit hand in hand with the future untold. We considered the undertaking that was pressed upon us, and welcomed the moment we both got old. The memories that we would never rewrite because in the commitment we learn to fight. Those fights made us bold, and in them we learned to stay beyond the words and pain, the commitment to the future that we never thought we’d see, still makes me think this way. A committed friend.
  2. Troy on man... You actually believe that some white men have arranges for these contest to be won by Black women to cull the Black population? Seriously? I'm not sure, but it's a definately possibility and I'm inclined to believe that this is the case. Black men (atleast most) have been praising the beauty of Black women for atleast 50 decades now while Caucasians stood by the sidelines and said nothing. Now for the past 10 or 12 years all of a sudden they've been "discovering" how beautiful Black women are and singing "soul sister" songs to them. You tell me why after all this time of ignoring our sisters they are JUST NOW starting to recognize them? You are giving white folks too much credit. I didn't GIVE it to them....lol. They've EARNED it with their history of shrewedness and cunning. Lucifer himself could use a few lessons from these people on the art of deception. Good old fashioned colonialism has far more effective. What do you think THIS is, we're talking about? One of the most effective tricks of colonnialists is DIVISION between their subjects. They are attempting to take African women, seperate them, and turn them against their own men......a typical divide and conquer tactic. Sorry man I simply don't believe that white folks created AIDS as a weapon to kill Black people. AIDS is just a collection of symptoms. Technically, if a person's immune system becomes weak through ANY disease ot the point that it no longer works aren they acquire a host of other diseases....they have AIDS. But HIV is the VIRUS that destroys the immune system that leads to AIDS and the virus WAS invented by Caucasians. Why would they invest so much time and energy looking for a cure and developing medications that render aids far less lethal than smoking cigarettes which kills 10 times as many people worldwide. They're not looking for the cure, they already have it. Nearly every public university as well as scores of other private institutions have research laboratories where they're constantly doing "research" for this....that.....and the other. Do you seriously believe that after 40 years of research by the dozens of the top institutions of this nation that they just having "discovered" a cure to HIV and these other diseases yet? Man, sometimes I think you express these opinions simply to get a reaction.....lol. You operate a site populated by strongly opinioned pro-Black people and you get on a chair and stand before them proudly proclaiming that you don't believe in any conspiracy to harm or kill AfroAmericans and that the entire thing is just ridiculous......and with a smile on your face you sit down and wait for the reaction, lol. Flava Flav would say, "A yo Chuck, is he serious man?"
