A whole reality exists outside the boundaries of language. Maybe words, rather than defining, are instead, confining?

Someone once mentioned every living being is hologram of the Universe and that felt right to me.

@Pioneer1 are you having a difficult time getting oxygen to your brain. Where do you come up with these wild assumptions. I just happened to live in county that is run by a woman and the Mayor of the city is a woman,... I think the mayor even served in the military. By the way, both of these women are black. Our county sheriff is a black man but there are quite of few deputies that are women...and dispatch is also staffed by women... While some men may use my services -it's mostly women...so if I had to count on those sustaining me I'd have to go with women. Currently my copyright registrations are issued and signed by the black woman who is the register of copyrights - the librarian of congress who happens to be her boss is also a black woman. I'm self-employed now but looking to get my 501 (c) 3 certification for my proposed non-profit ... Now you may be correct there - the dude who heads up the IRS is white man. He can either deny my application or approve it - but he's no savior... Like I wrote I'm not looking for anyone to save me and especially not a man. If anyone is going to save this country - as shown by our latest election it will be black women, women of color and then women - full stop

Pioneer in all seriousness. You may need to find a way to handle this frustration. Or it will eat you. Normally I would give you a hard time. Not on this one.

@Pioneer1Would you be specific about all the white men i am putting a lot of "praise and power on"? The men that Mel and i exchanged information about in our posts following your complaint, were black men as is Colin Kaepernick. We both give due credit to Barack Obama, as well as our own Troy Johnson. Name some white men who are heroes of "Afro American" women in this society?? You are the one who looks upon white men as being omnipotent. You imagine that on this board your persona is "forceful and dominant". But not to me, especially with all of your pouting about how my and Mel's "rejection" makes you "jealous", and how you mope about my not sharing your adoration for certain people. This leaves me wondering why you don't you stop craving approval. Why do you need my validation? i don't need yours. i don't care if you are put off by all of my new age spirituality and pondering about truth and reality. Why should it make a difference to you if i don't agree with you? Man up! Since you choose to guard your identity and professional resume, all i can go on is the impression you make here on this site, and you come across to me as a font of preposterous pronouncements, opinions that you pull out of your ass; someone who dwells on subjects i have lost interest in. You're good at that. BTW, you spelled "independently" wrong.

@Pioneer1 So you think that because Mel and I defended ourselves against what you, yourself, conceded may just be your imagination, and which you subsequently didn't refute because you couldn't come up with a rebuttal that held water, except to say in effect, that we are picking on you because we don't share your interests. And it's presumptuous of you to get indignant because we don't. Are you in any way guilty of bringing on yourself what you accuse us of doing? As far as i'm concerned, my disagreeing with your opinions does not necessarily make you wrong. it's more about your interpretations just not grabbin me and i don't feel the need to humor you by saying they do. I'm sure both lurkers and posters find many points of disagreement with me. But i don't require everybody to defer to my cynical opinions and observations and - don't care if they don't. You might consider toughening up your skin and stop trying to dictate what i should be engrossed in at this stage of my life. I am not Afro-centric and i'm sick of wasting my time dwelling on the entrenched white power structure and how it affects black people; your favorite subjects.

When the Amazon bookstore in Seattle opened almost exactly a year ago — the company’s first full-fledged retail location — book prices were identical to those on Amazon.com, whether you were a Prime member or not. But now the discounted prices are only available to Prime members. If you’re not, you’ll pay sticker price. The message: If you’re not a Prime member, you can’t get discounts. There are no price tags on the books at Amazon’s store, as customers can either scan the book at a kiosk or use Amazon’s app to find out how much each product is. Read the full article at GeekWire
