  1. This crazy video showed up on my channel and caught me off guard. I thought it was pretty funny though. Grandma gave the Jada Pinkett glare and off went her grandson...
  2. Egads! Listen to you Boomers and GenXers fretting and expounding as if you have some relevancy. Puleeze. The Millennials and the GenZers got this! And they are the wave of the future. Your days are numbered. Traditional values mean nothing to these sleepyheads. They are flexible and evolved, have embraced the "do me" approach to life and are making headway as they dare to merge with their true selves. Something they do with a growing measure of authenticity because the species is mutating - expanding. Screw all that BS about the true nature of humans and what "God" intended. Time brings change, depending on the whims of, say, quantum physics and - the impact of highly advanced computerized technology, including Artificial Intelligence. And last but not least a Creator who's lost interest in your welfare. Society is also evolving, fragmenting into the diversity of tribalism. Nowadays all you have to do is find your "Peeps". immerse yourself in their echo chamber and commiserate with your fellow malcontents. Meanwhile, Civilization staggers along being what it has always been about: acquiring power and exerting the control that comes with it, pitting the great unwashed masses against themselves, leaving their legions bound together by a common mistrust of their Government. America, in particular, is a sphere of mass confusion compounded by organized chaos bristling with the wanna-be soothsayers pulling their hair and beating their chests, spouting tired old conspiracy theories that disintegrate under the scrutiny of logic and reality. Same ol, same ol. So what else is new? Check ya, later. Maybe.
  3. How would voting for Trump justify black violence? Is that all you understand? Do you think it is normal for a group of people to go around dealing with everything violently while not providing any type of path to peace in the world through say an invention that makes life better for people? Why do you think it is so awful being white? What makes you think because I'm physically larger than most black guys that there must be a physical confrontation of some sort to sooth the ego of belittled violent black men? What about Asian people who are KO'd by black people just for being Asian? I think that kind of violence is very disgusting.. Most civilized cultures do.. Blacks practice slavery today in black countries where it is not outlawed.. Just google any black country and type in slavery.. You'll find millions of black slaves who are owned by other black people.. I don't like slavery so I googled it and what I found out was shocking... There are black men who literally groom young black kids to be slaves.. It is where Nestle (a white owned company) gets its chocolate.. but I dare you to look up slavery in say Nigeria.. It goes on today.. Again the slave owners are not white people.. Nwaubani Ogogo was a slave trader who gained power and wealth by selling other Africans across the Atlantic.... Playing the blame game doesn't solve the problem. If you care about the victim acknowledge the root of the problem.. It's not just white people and never has been.. Stop playing like it is.. Also, many neglect the fact that the Portuguese (A Spanish people) owned 10x times more black slaves than the confederates but people act like black slavery what a white southern issue.. While many blacks sold other blacks into slavery.. None of it was good but don't try to act like the only problem was a white face.. Again, millions are enslaved by their own people.. Anyways I have better things to do than argue about race which some people just live their lives doing while never achieving..
  4. This is from https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0151919/bio She was the daughter of Adelaide (Glaser) and George Channing (who was born George Christian Stucker). Carol's paternal grandfather, George Stucker, was the son of German immigrants, and Carol's paternal grandmother, Clara, was African-American. Carol's maternal grandparents, Otto Glaser and Paulina Ottmann, were both of German origin. Carol stated in her autobiography, "Just Lucky, I Guess", that her father, who was light-skinned, used one accent to help "pass" in the white world and another around the house, where he sang gospel music to entertain his daughter.
