@Pioneer1 While I don’t like to point folks to wikipedia - I’ll do it in this case... go to wikipedia and check out Elin Nordegren - then check out her parents. While some average black men marry for a big butt and a smile (I kid I kid) (kinda) black men with bank and upperclass black men still appear to marry for reasons other than a good-looking piece of hiney. Btw, @Pioneer1 I’ll never understand why you don’t research these little “fun facts” before you make a claim. As for me, I’ve already been married and had my 3 babies - so no, I don’t need to look. I really find that hard to believe. Really. I’ve known some black women who have been run over by black men...who left them as roadkill and the women have divorced and remarried another black man. Black women are freakishly loyal to black men. So loyal it makes me throw up in my mouth a little.

It seems more like something Pioneer would like or post, than you ((Looks over at Del.....stares....and shakes head))

@Troy Your response didn't enlighten me. How much of the internet scamming and phishing going on can be traced to the victims' participation in social media which, itself, regularly dispenses anecdotal warnings about the clever techniques of scam artists. As for the election, obviously Russia didn't exert as much influence on the outcome as the electoral college did. But for it, the Democrats would've won, in spite of the Hate Hillary campaign launched by the Russians. In regard to Hillary, the "lesser-of-2 evils"mindset of blacks prevailed over Russian propaganda. Even in the red states the majority of blacks voted for her. So spare me the theory about Russians turning blacks against Hillary via social media. The blacks and whites who didn't bother to vote because of Russian ploys don't really count and other "stay-at-homes" probably weren't denizens of social media which is why saying fewer blacks voted during this election has little relevance. You never question things that support your argument but, like everybody else, you find fault with rebuttals. What you have convinced me of, however, is what you are so quick to remind me about: i am not representative of the gullible people you are talking about. Soooo, i'll just be on my merry way, manipulation be damned! La dee dah dah daaaaaah

Mel Is that what black women tell you? Or do you believe that because of the love you have for black women and you hope it’s the truth? I have an extremely high regard for the truth. My love for AfroAmerican women has little to no bearing on my acceptance of the truth. I already KNOW that many of them have more respect for and faith in Caucasian men than AfroAmerican men even if they told me otherwise, and I also know why. I wish this weren't so but I don't refuse to accept it. I learned early in life that in order to change reality you must first ACCEPT it as it really is. 　 and tiger didn’t marry no broke chick who wasn’t connected. It was my understanding that the first White wife he had that kept going upside his head and tried to run him over with the car that he bought her started off as his HOUSEKEEPER. Not exactly the cream of the crop in White society. Inquiring minds like mine always want to know - who wealthy folks are marrying. Why? Lol...trying to calculate your chances??? I think think he's got himself another White woman right now but like most AfroAmerican men Tiger is HIGHLY polygamous so you still might have a shot. Michael Jackson said "get on it"....lol.

I haven’t read about any wealthy person marrying a run-of-the mill any woman... most of these women are connected — Then there’s Robert Smith multi-billionaire who married Hope Dworaczyk , former playboy model but she is also coproducer of E - entertainment fashion segment in Canada, when they married. Oh and yes, they’re gorgeous women too - so yes, I agree that’s something too. But there are gorgeous black women so all things equal it’s that extra thing.

@Pioneer1Is that what black women tell you? Or do you believe that because of the love you have for black women and you hope it’s the truth? Actually being white is enough because of the access. You do know white high school graduates have more wealth than black college graduates and even those who have master level degrees ... and tiger didn’t marry no broke chick who wasn’t connected. Inquiring minds like mine always want to know - who wealthy folks are marrying.

I enjoy Neil Gaiman’s writing! It appears he does a lot of research on West African culture and antiquity. I read American Gods when it came out —and admire how much African mythology he wrote into it.

No I can't in fact I don't know what you mean. Which is why I asked you for an example. I listened to about 40 minutes. Even before I listened I knew I would not finish it. It seems more like something Pioneer would like or post, than you. Going back to my book. Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman.

I guess there it is in a nut shell. I'm sure your pension is secure as long as you need it. Someone has to carry all the junk mail we get @Mel Hopkins please don't encourage @Pioneer1 LOL!
