Can we expect you to be chided by Pioneer for picking on a black man, implying Corey Booker is a closet gay guy? tsk-tsk. Or will he question Booker's blackness because of his pale skin tone? Wonder what size his penis is?

Right. Open-minded people are willing to accept new ideas that challenge their existing beliefs. Absolutely. Cannot have a forum or healthy dialog, debate or exchange of information, opinions and ideas without it. Right. The point is to share information, opinions and ideas that could challenge or change pre-existing beliefs. It's up to the individual to receive/accept it. There's no shortage of sources to cross reference facts. It takes some effort. I believe AI will make compiling data easier. How people choose to use the information and knowledge ties back to our discussion here.

“People come to me with leukemia. They say, ‘Dr. Sebi, the doctor said that my child will die with leukemia. What can you offer that the physician did not offer?’ I tell them that all I have to offer is a nutritional approach to disease. We begin by cleansing away the toxins that are invading the whole biology.” —Dr. Sebi, November 2005 20th Anniversary Edition November 2025 marks the 20th anniversary of my visit to Honduras, Central America, to interview Dr. Sebi, a man I feel is one of the greatest alternative medicine specialists we’ve ever known. Seven Days in Usha Village: A Conversation With Dr. Sebi 20 Years Later marks that journey. The book launched November 26, 2025, Dr. Sebi’s birthday, but November 6, 2005, is the actual day I arrived at Dr. Sebi’s healing center Usha. My favorite chapter in the book is one of the new chapters, “Dr. Sebi Shared More That Week in Honduras: His Methodology.” My hope is that you’ll read this updated edition of Seven Days and find your way to sustainable good health. https://www.sevendaysinushavillage.org/20th-anniversary-edition

@Pioneer1 so I gather you do not consider yourself a biblical scholar. I provided bullet points on how I arrived at my conclusion. Reading your original passages and researching them took all of five minutes. You could have done that, indeed you should’ve done that before you posted the passage. The only reason I took the time to research, the meaning of the passage was that it was provocative. I wasn’t aware that there was any language like that in the Bible so I was curious to learn what it meant I won’t bother doing it for you because I already know there is nothing that I can say that will get you to think differently about what you posted. From your perspective, the Bible has provided proof that Black people have the biggest dicks.

As people get older, they become more rigid in their beliefs and positions. IMO, the objective should not be to convince people to change their way of thinking. Presenting evidence and proof merely reinforces or substantiates claims of the person making the case or argument. When done effectively, sometimes a person might change their mind after being presented with enough evidence and proof i.e. facts. Otherwise, there's a saying about old dogs and new tricks.

Universal healthcare won't happen in a country built on capitalism. Money controls politicians. Sure. Big pharma and medical industry lobbyists wrote the legislation.

They should have went for Universal Healthcare. For basic needs atleast. We can still have health insurance if you want perks and extra benefits like a pimped-out hospital room or work compensation or certain designer drugs. But for basic care to keep people healthy, it should be absolutely free. At one point Obama had both Houses Democrat led and a more Liberal S-Court. If they were really sincere about it they could have done it. Obama Care was pretty much a give away to the insurance companies because now you're FORCED to get health insurance whether you want to or not.

ProfD I hadn't even HEARD of Bojangles until I moved down South...lol. When I first saw one....I got offended! WTF???? ....but I stopped and went in anyway, lol. All it took was ONE of those biscuits with some jelly on it and it was OVER jack!

Yeah that is probably why Jewish people punch over their weight when it comes to winning Noble Prizes and we dominate in basketball.

You are looking at it the wrong way. What I'm knocking your use of stereotypes -- particularly as they related to race. Another stereotype is that Asian men are inherently better at math than Black men. Do you think this is true? Now you can look up test scores to support the stereotype, but it could also be Black boys spend more time playing basketball and boasting about penis size than studying math. @Pioneer1 did you study calculus in high school?
