New book coming from AALBC.com.

He is pale in comparison with the other members, yet he is beyond the pale. In addition he is impaled by Cynique's rapier. Cynique Cynic - the name of the gymnasium where Antisthenes ( the founder of the school of philosophy) taught Unique - since the core meaning of unique is "being the only one of its kind it is logically impossible to modify it by adverbs such as really and quite. Definitions courtesy of OED. SLAYING and creating an appellation that is both descriptive and a warning not heeded by fools. I don't think she nice, I know she nice. Paraphrasing Flava Flav (I had to make this parenthetical statement, otherwise the prior sentence fragment...) Or phonetically Sin Nique. Roughly translated the original sin. @Cynique

@Pioneer1Wrong, as usual. I'm a retired senior citizen, who has earned her life of leisure. So, how are the bean pie sales coming?

Greg Most black women choose white men because they find them more attractive and much better providers than the very unreliable black man. When it comes to women, attraction tends to be somewhat complicated........ They can find a man "attractive" in the sense that he is wealthy and has the potential for being a good provider but UNATTRACTIVE sexually. Vice-vera....they can find a man who is broke and totally untrust worthy VERY ATTRACTIVE sexually and physically and want to have many babies by him. It's been my observation that in THIS society, most women see Black males as attractive SEXUALLY and even PHYSICALLY (although this causes conflict in their minds because they were raised to see white skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes as attractive and are confused as to why they can't helpl but find the opposite of that attractive), but many don't trust us to be able to adequately provide for them and the offspring we produce. This causes a lot of distress in the psyche of a lot of women. Subconsciously, they want their attractions to "line up" neatly. They want the SAME men they find sexually attractive to be the great providers and protectors; not the lames and nerds whom they find generally a turn off. But unfortunately for them, in this society it's the nerds, lames, and "soft" White men who often have the most money and power.

ProfD Smart people often communicate in a way that the average and stupid people can't relate to or understand. What they say often goes over the heads of the masses. A VERY smart person who is socially intune knows how to "dumb down" what they're saying to a level that stupid and not so intelligent people can easily understand and relate to. Bill Clinton was great at this. He was smart like Obama, but he was also smart enough to know how stupid the average person is and how you must talk to them to get their support.

My question is why haven't a group of Black men....especially the relatives of Emmitt...ALREADY hunted down his torturers and killers and GAVE THEM JUSTICE THEMSELVES instead of waiting on the system to do it? Most of them down in Mississippi know who was involved. They may not know EVERYBODY who was involved in his torture and murder but I'm sure they know SOME of those who were involved. They could have snatched them up back in the 70s and had it taken care of already.

Are you serious? Do you really think anyone but old folks remember the 1950's, when Blacks were called Negroes and Colored? When we could not go to the same schools as Whites, were always blocked from voting, owning homes, operating businesses and running for office? What Black people alive today with a working brain wants to go back to that? It was Republicans who created the Dept. of Homeland Security, began rolling up huge national deficits, embarked on wars of choice, turned a blind eye to undocumented immigrants as long as they cleaned their houses and mowed their lawns. All was good as long as such ones worked cheaply and quietly in factories. It is the GOP that is now intent on re-dirtying our air and water, restricting voting and a woman's right to make her own medical decisions, allowing only certain people to have guns and playing unfair when it comes to banking and finance. Republicans don't even want true U.S. History to be taught in schools. Fewer Native Americans, Latinos, Blacks, Whites or Asians want to continue on the GOP path.

America celebrates its independence from British rule and striking gold through slavery. It has no love for the millions of black folks exploited.😎

Agreed. This could flip racism upside down. Especially when grandparents will have a harder time denying their mixed grand chilluns. 😁😎

Some people resent intelligence. Smart people are often mocked, ridiculed and cast aside until problems need to be solved ansd/or sh8t hits the fan. Ignorance and stupidity appeals especially to people those who can identify with it. Former POTUS 45 is a carnival barker but he's a hero to a large number pf people who think like and believe in him. 😎

The GOP promise of less government, curtailing illegal immigration, free market enterprise, gun rights and rolling America back to a time before the 1950s appeals to some black folks, poor whites and other minorities too.😎
