  1. Rest In Peace And Power to our dear brother elder and now ancestor.... The Honorable Quincy D. Jones Jr.
  2. What about YOUR vision while trying to drive with that shit on it?
  3. @TroyQuincy's personal life wasn't given a lot of publicity. He was a behind the scenes celebrity. What he produced superceded who he was. His affinity for white women was incidental. No, I never saw him perform live. He didn't do a lot of touring. His forte was actually arranging music for other muscians.
  4. There isn't even a remote likelihood for 2 of the suggested scenarios to take place, - except in a Spike Lee movie. The white establishment would most certainly question what's in it for them if they agreed to putting another tribe in second command? Not only does being the largest minority benefit Hispanics, they also have a good work ethic. Asians are disciplined and highly professional. Blacks? They're splintered and checkered and volatile. Being good athletes and more sexually impressive aren't beneficial enough to make the cut. Would their mounting an armed challenge to the Establishent prove successful? Puleeze. The logistics involved in pulling off such an operation are overwhelming. Can we come down to earth here?Other than natural selection and survival of the fittest, there is no grand plan. Or master manipulator when it comes to the inhabitants of this miniscule star in a giant galaxy.Some breeds evolved into winners, others into also-rans. The pecking order is firmly entrenched. Randomness does keep individual achievement in the mix. Reality is a bitch. 😉🤪 Pay me no mind.This election has me in a particularly pessimistic mood. >Sigh<. I'm depressed.
  5. Each and every human being has a "paradigm of reality" in their heads. I have concluded that for each person part of that paradigm is emotional and part of it is rational. So two or more people trying to communicate are testing how well their paradigms of reality synchronize. It is possible to have a total “failure to communicate". The Cool Hand Luke Syndrome. Sometimes people's egos kick in and it is not about communicating but "winning". That is why Fiziks is so Phunny! . 25vus
  6. I don’t have the data. I don’t think anyone does, but I’m sure this is not true. I say that because I look at a lot of romance and I do see white men on some books. They are in the minority of them and I’ve never seen an Asian man paired up with the black woman in a romance book. You can scan these 500+ Romance titles I’m sure asian man, Black woman, romance novels must exist but again I’m also sure you’ll find more Black men than Asian men paired up with Black women and romance books — especially if they’re written by Black women. I don’t see anything wrong with non-black men paired with black women in romance novels. Now, if non-black men and black women would’ve majority of the titles I would be concerned certainly, but those aren’t the books that I’m seeing, and I look at more books than most.
