  1. @thewolfxxNobody owes you any explanations, especially since you wouldn't accept them because you are so deeply afflicted with the cognitive dissonance that is exacerbated by the Dunning Kruger syndrome which has you in its grip, and identifies you as a neurotic fool. You probably finished near the bottom of the class when you attended the troll academy. Watta waste of humanity you and your cohorts are. Were your parents related?

In 2017, 40 percent of sub-Saharan Africans (ages 25 and over) held a bachelor’s degree or higher, compared to 31 percent of the total foreign-born population and 32 percent of the U.S.-born population. Nigerians and South Africans were the most highly educated, with 61 percent and 58 percent holding at least a bachelor’s degree, respectively; Kenyans (50 percent), Ghanaians (39 percent), Liberians (31 percent), and Ethiopians (30 percent) followed. Meanwhile, Somalis had the lowest educational attainment of all sub-Saharan Africans, with just 15 percent having graduated from a four-year college. https://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/sub-saharan-african-immigrants-united-states-2018 IQ Test are both racist and culturally biased....especially in the US Yes it is called .....Unequal Access and Under Funding Access to Funds - Money In fact, the U.S. educational system is one of the most unequal in the industrialized world, and students routinely receive dramatically different learning opportunities based on their social status.

  3. Racism and Poverty .....Inadequate Legal Representation - Prison Industrial Complex While Black people make up just 13.6% of the U.S. population, they accounted for 53% of exonerated people. Similarly, of the approximately 240 people the Innocence Project has helped free or exonerate, 58% are Black.......Five years ago, the organization found that innocent Black people were seven times more likely to be wrongly convicted of murder than innocent white people. The new report found that those odds have worsened slightly since, with Black people now being 7.5 times more likely to be wrongly convicted of murder and eight times more likely to be wrongly convicted of rape than white people. https://innocenceproject.org/nre-national-registry-exonerations-report-2022-racism-criminal-system/ Racism , Alienation and low teacher expectation.. in the educational system of the United States, students are dependent persons, and educators are independent persons. The system creates expectations and evaluates outcomes based upon ideas, beliefs, and values generally accepted by the dominant culture of the school......More than any other time in U.S. history, Black students are being educated by people who are not of their racial or cultural background......Research on effective teachers of Black students emphasizes, among other things, the teachers’ collective belief that Black students’ potential will not be realized in classrooms where teachers view Black students from a deficit perspective.......Compounding the problem of some White teachers’ cultural misunderstanding or indifference, additional research suggests that the gap between White teachers and Black students is exacerbated by powerful social conditioning that cultivates actual negative attitudes towards Black students https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ839497.pdf Please post a link to those stats as I am unable to find a correlates...so that I may properly address your query Black communities are both over policed, targeted, and under police .....Prison Industrial Complex Below is an example that is replete throughout the USA Criminal Justice System 1) In Ferguson, race had everything to do with who was stopped by police, and whom they used force against African Americans made up 67 percent of the population, but between 2012 and 2014, they made up 85 percent of the people pulled over by police. Between 2012 and 2014, black drivers were twice as likely to have their cars searched, but they were 26 percent less likely to have contraband. Between 2010 and August 2014, 88 percent of the documented use of force was against African Americans. Every time a person was bitten by a police dog, the person was black. The FPD brought certain charges almost exclusively against African Americans. For example, in 2013 black residents made up a full 95 percent of manner of walking in roadway charges, and 94 percent of all failure to comply charges. Between 2011 and 2013, African-American drivers got 72 percent of the speeding tickets when radars or laser verification were used, but when tickets were based on officers' personal observations, they got 80 percent of the tickets. 2) None of this could be explained by any differences in the rate at which people of different races violate the law It's not just that black people commit more crimes. "Our investigation has revealed that these disparities occur, at least in part, because of unlawful bias against and stereotypes about African Americans," the report concluded. https://www.vox.com/2015/3/4/8149337/doj-ferguson-report-police-racism I have seen both black and white moms lose their kids for Neglect and or Abuse.

  4. Black folks should not allow themselves to be put on the defensive and subjected to specious arguments where their opponents set the standards and make the rules. Screw IQ scores which can't predict how any given person would respond at any given time to any given situation. Even with the leg up of privilege and entitlement, whites cannot best African Americans when it comes to surviving and even thriving under adverse conditions. I'm sure these nit picking trolls are INCEL members. They are so full of hate because they are frustrated losers who women are repulsed by.

  6. Got a question for the cast of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves? They may have answers! Submit your questions here < https://entertainment.tumblr.com/ask > , and tune in for their Answer Time on March 30th at 11am PT / 2pm ET, before the film opens wide on March 31st. U.R.L. https://entertainment.tumblr.com/post/711937110429532160/got-a-question-for-the-cast-of-dungeons-dragons In Amendment many black people love video games, love board games, love card games, and yet, I have never seen a board game like dungeons and dragons implemented by black people. Yes, Dungeons and dragons has an open world structure meant for any human to play in it, but rivals for games are made all the time. Just wondering. Also, will you ask a question ?I placed mine below Do any of you play the Dungeons and Dragons board game and will you play a character like the one you play in the movie or another? What do you think about a version of the Dungeons and dragons board game based on the movie, upon success and sequels, will it be an uncommon synergy between film and games? Honor among thieves seems a introduction to a world but not an origin story, am i wrong or right, and will that make sequels/derivative works more fun or creative?

  7. Idk. I just wanted to share my thoughts on this. When it comes to compatibility I find earth signs and water signs do well together and fire and wind signs do well together. I know there are more complexities to it based on the behavior of each specific sign, and I know there are exceptions, too. But typically, this is how I've seen it: Earth gives water a place to release and settle, while water gives earth life and reason to be still. Air gives fire expansion to gain more ground and fire gives air something to fan out and inspire. On the flip side: Earth and fire don't work well because usually earth puts out fire and its appeal while fire scorches and hurts the earth judgment. Air and water don't match because air scatters waters tranquility and water isn't as random and spontaneous as the air. Air and earth hurt because air breezes over earth and a settled nature while earth blocks air from reaching wherever they need be. And fire takes water over til there is nothing left but steam and shallow feelings and water dampens the strength of fire. The exceptions are that: Water can keep fire from burning out of control with their antics and fire can give water more than one temperature to perceive the world at. Air can pick up earth and bring out more adventure and earth can give air structure and a pattern to blow. Water can travel with air and give different shape and beauty to their gusts and air can show water around and give them new places to hydrate. Earth can give fire more body to whatever they want to achieve and fire can give earth more reason to branch out and be for different places. Overall, people are gonna be with who they want, whether friends or lovers, and a lot of signs actually do good with those who share the same element, but when problems arise it doesn't hurt to wonder if the elements are off.

  9. @frankster just explained it in detail, yet you obviously can't comprehend because you still have that primitive mindset. Primitive hominids cannot exist peacefully amongst modern mankind because they have stolen little Black African children, then raped them and outlawed them from being able to read and write. Creepy beings, that is what you are.

  12. Come on. Cher may still be "viable". A lot depends upon whether or not your ovaries are still producing estrogen. Nowadays 70 is the new 50. i really don't like to discuss my personal life but - as a widow in my 70s, i had a boyfriend in his 60s - and i never got any complaints. He's dead now and i'm still kickin'.

  15. Yes, cameras are everywhere, script is everywhere about how Whites have brought blacks to America as little children and exploited us and now deny this. Your end though, it very near. Yes, and you know why but being a supremacist you want to believe in a lie. But your end is very near. America will not continue to exploit Black people and set them up to kill each other for long. @SpeakHerTruth is not lacking intelligence at all because she understands you're origins. The continent of Africa is where the Slave Ship Trade was set up BY WHITE DEVILS who have been in that continent for thousands of years bringing in their deception. So it's not hard to understand that Africans have the same pattern of Black Hatred. Big Deal. All of this will end though. White Supremacy will end. The mistake our ancestors made was to let you into our lands but they were decieved.

  18. Chev I've never had an obesity problem, I've had issues trying to GAIN weight...lol. But I can understand the frustration of trying to lose weight because I have so many family members and friends who struggle with it. One of the main problems with why so many AfroAmericans struggle with weight isn't so much the amount they eat and the lack of exercise, but it's the CHEMICALS that are being put in the food that people of color seem to be exceptionally sensitive to. Just like when you go to the West Coast and look at the Mexican Americans and Native Americans....most of them are obese. Even when they're small they tend to be "round" and chubby and stubby. This is due to the Wesern diet of a lot of starch, breads, sugars, and red meat....something their genes aren't used to. It's the same with our people. Many of them are fat and "round" both in the body and in the face today because of all the unnatural foods and junk foods they're eating that was originally designed by and for Caucasians. Eating spaghetti and pizza....made by and for Italians. Eating cheeseburgers and hot dogs....made by and for Germans. Eating ice cream and milk chocolate candy......both are dairy products with high amounts of sugar. AfroAmericans have been CONDITIONED to love these foods even though most of them don't have the genes to metabolize them. Actually our bodies are TOO GOOD for most of what Caucasians eat! Our bodies don't need as much sugar and grease to produce energy as theirs do, so it gets stored as fat. We don't need as much meat to make protein and buid muscles, so that too gets stored as fat. An African of the same size could easily function on less than HALF the food a Caucasian needs.

  19.   A situation I ran into the other day in Pennsylvania made me think about this video and others like it that are a little extreme but I do think it gets into the head of how a lot of sisters actually view Black men and "our" approach to women. I stopped into this place to get some coffee and there was a young Black girl at the counter I'd judge to be about 22 or 23. She smiled and asked me my order and I said a large coffee. She asked did I want any cream or sugar in it and I said, "No. I like my coffee like I like my women....straight and Black." A line I've used thousands of times.... A line that has actually gotten me a few dates.... A line that had women smiling over 80% of the time..... But this time, this young girl stared at me for a COUPLE OF MINUTES with a blank look on her face. Now I didn't say a few SECONDS.....I said MINUTES. A minute is a long time for someone to stand there staring at you. A number of thoughts was going through my head about what was in hers.....lol. After staring, she rolled her eyes and sighed while shaking her head, went and got my coffee (I had to watch her after that....lol) came back and gave it too me without giving me any eye contact. As I was leaving I heard her go to her co-workers (white girls) and say, "Giiiiirl, you would not believe.....was he serious." Now this isn't the first time I've seen something like this. For the past 10 years or so it seems that a lot of young Black women, especially those who have been raised around a lot of White people, don't seem to understand flirting or "slack talk" that a lot of Black men do. It seems that many of them are being TAUGHT....not coming to the conclusion on their own but TAUGHT....that the way Black men talk to them is rude, inappropriate, and disrespectful.....especially compared to the rather bland way White men conduct themselves around women which is being held as the ideal. Now I know a lot of Black men ARE rude and disrespectful with women as well as with eachother, but it seems like with this new "#metoo" movement and "street harassment" movement......the very culture of Black masculinity seems to be scrutitinized. Does anyone understand what I'm saying? In other words....... Black men have THEIR way of communicating with women. White men have THEIR way of communicating with women. But the way Black men do it is slowly being framed and labled as "wrong" or "inappropriate".

  20. NIna also had a serious, largely untreated, mental condition. This explains her erratic behavior and perhaps even her art. Again being "Mr. Antirace" I would be willing to bet money that there is a much stronger correlation between obesity and class than there is by race. Where lower class people tend to be overweight, and upper middle class people less so.

  21. According to what popular astrology attributes to my sign, I am not a typical Leo, being neither extravagant, nor maternal nor flamboyant. And I have not found myself to be more compatible with any one sign. I also have never found the old saying about opposites attracting to be true when it came to mates. I always gravitated toward men whose ideas jibed with mine because agreeing rather than arguing was more romantic I could never have hooked up with a conservative tight-assed bible thumper. Signs and challenges aside, over the years, I always found it odd that whenever I was confrontational with a guy, he always thought I wanted to give him "some". The male ego is something else. When it comes to female friends, I can do without drama queens and moms whose lives revolve around their children. Hurry up August, so I can turn 80 and can then concentrate fully on stopping the world so I can get off.

  22. Well....... The fact is, too many of our people are dumber and uglier than they really SHOULD be. We should be trying to IMPROVE ourselves instead of trying to divert attention away from the problem by making it an "American problem" or pointing at White people and what they're going through. It's not simply being fat that I'm taking issue with because I've found more heavy women attractive than I've found skinny women. It's the OBESITY along with terrible skin and other health problems (both physical and mental) so many of our people are suffering from that need to be addressed....not embraced. This is an attractive FAT woman: This is an OBESE woman: There is a clear difference between the bodies of these 2 women. It's not just the amount of weight, but the texture of skin and the proportions are also different. We know that most Black women's bodies tend to be made slightly different than most White women's bodies, but some are using this fact as an excuse to let our girls blow up like balloons. Then turn around and jump on Black men for not loving them the "way they are". It's the same for Black men BTW..... Noooo, I'm not gonna sit up here and just pick on my sisters. Too many of our brothers are seen staggering around the streets of America fat, sloppy, toothless, with dry ashy faces and elbows. Go to the suburbs and the White man is our running with his shirt off and a band around his harm. Go the 'hood and whatever the Black man is doing...chances are he's SITTING DOWN doing it. I'm so glad I had an opportunity to go to Europe years ago and see beautiful Black men and women who were WELL DRESSED. Most of them were African or Carribean and stuck to thier native diet even though they may have lived in England or France, and these people were so attractive and hooked up they looked like they stepped out of a fashion magazine. Nobody's perfect, but we need to start taking much more responsibility for our health, our looks, our minds, and especially our souls.
