Have a short conversation with those folks over 40 years old and you'll walk away knowing exacting why they're alone and/or thirsty. 🤣 Many folks *waste* their most productive years having fun and BSing. They use up their mental and physical capital in non-productive endeavors. Both women and men wake up over 40 years old wanting settle down after accumulating a few Samsonite bags full of baggage. For some reason, despite the fact that I'm probably one of the least religious dudes on the planet, I meet a lot of religious women. Telling them I sit at the right hand of Satan doesn't scare them away. 🤣 Those religious women have turned their lives over to God after goofing off the best years of their lives. Even as senior citizens with adult childen and grandkids and a couple failed marriages or widowed, these women have either 1) surrendered their bodies to God and 2) want to be married before getting into a physical relationship. Some folks either haven't grown up or they are just batsh8t crazy. There's no shortage of men and women. But, there's definitely a reason why they're alone.😎

I believe that perception depends on several factors. Where we choose to live, work and play has to be considered. Age group is another factor. For example, there's no shortage of older women available since they tend to out-live men. Of course, physical appearance and other qualities tend to qualify or disqualify individuals from the available pool. From what I can see, there's never been a shortage especially considering birthrates haven't gone down and kids are running around everywhere. 😁 Black men and women are finding each other by any means necessary. 😎

Let the haters keep moving to Florida. That will make it easier for us to know where they live. The south has never been shy when it comes to racism. Florida is no exception. I experienced it first-hand back in August 1977. The last time I visited Florida several years ago was cool. No racist encounters. Beautiful weather. Of course, neither of the clowns were in Florida at the time that I'm aware..Orange Julius nor DeDumb. 🤣😎

Agreed. D8mn shame ao many folks had to die. For taking the azz whupping, Ukraine will get close to $100 billion from the USA in order to rebuild their country. 😎

First priority is a better choice of words.😁 Indifferent doesn't have to be cold and harsh. Basically, we need to mind own business and get our own house in order before we can speak about and/or on behalf of another group of people. I still contend that getting pulled into other folks' issues is a diversionary trap to keep us preoccupied with something else.😎

Jews didn't have to beg or be considerate of or concerned with the plight of any other group of people in getting reparations for the holocaust Japan pulled the USA into World War II. Yet, after the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Japanese have been receiving reparations from the USA for a half century and counting. AfroAmericans should not have to bend over backwards for a debt America owes us for 400 years of slavery. 😎

Black unity is not about tyranny or marginalizing or mistreating any other group of people. Live and let live. Black unity and power is about being self-sufficient in all areas of human activity and dismantling the system of racism white supremacy. 😎

AfroAmericans should be indifferent about antisemitism and any other issues concerning white folks that have little or nothing to do with reparations for America's original sin of slavery. 😎

Roundabouts have been around for 200 years. That conspiracy theory of yours is a bridge too far. 🤣😎

The main reason stupid sh8t is allowed to happen in a wealthy country like America is be because everything to include dysfunction fuels capitalism. Otherwise, I agree that winter weather preparation and clean up could be planned a lot better in order to minimize disruption. Meteorologist spill the tea a week in advance that 48 inches of snow is coming in on a system. Get the snow plows ready. NY state government could have done a better job of helping Buffalo. Snow removal is a matter of having the right equipment and a deployment and mobilization plan. The state has resources including equipment, food, water, medical supplies, etc. But, they know people are going to do dumb sh8t and some will die during a weather emergency. Acceptable risk and loss to include human beings. It's sad. That's capitalism. 😎

The city of Buffalo got dumped on by 4 feet of snow. Several dozen people have died as a result. While the city is still digging out, some folks have used the bilzzard as an opportunity to loot: https://www.wivb.com/news/crime/four-arraigned-for-alleged-looting-dollar-stores-during-blizzard/ As of one of the volunteers mentioned, the citizens get the short end when selfish people decide to break in stores and steal. 😎

Fear. Black folks think 1) Jews control money and 2) immigrants are going to kick them out of 2nd class and 3) fighting systemic racism and economic injustice will make the white man force them back into indentured servitude. 😎

Think I heard the same thing years ago. It's not getting her Black azz a pass with the Jews. 🤣😎

H8ll naw.😁 Whoopi (born Caryn Elaine Johnson) took on Goldberg for her career. 😎

@richardmurray, I answered the question as presented in the 1st paragraph of my initial response. Again, I'm in agreement that elected officials including Black folks have a responsibility to get as much as they poasibly can to support their districts. This is not the 1st time you've had a problem with my response and/or it didn’t meet your criteria. We're not in class.😎

There are ways of getting a beloved pet back without going to court. That guy should be ashamed of himself for letting that trailer trash take him there. The judge definitely knew the best way to settle the case.😁😎

The mom's sense of entitlement is hilarious. But, dude had to know she was lazy as h8ll before he went into that cookie jar. A fool and his money shall soon be parted.🤣😎

I find it incredulous that AfroAmerican celebrities continue to let Jew drop from their lips. Apparently, they haven't gotten enough from the backlash. These n8gglets won't be be satisfied until they have been rendered penniless and broke. Then, maybe it will occur to them to keep certain groups of people out of their mouths. At 67 years old, Whoopi probably doesn't give a d8mn anymore.🤣😎

Senator Richard Shelby has done for Alabama what elected officials are supposed to do for their home state. I'm in agreement there. Most of the billions of dollars have gone into state infrastructure projects, ports, harbors, railways and educational facilities. I cannot help but to wonder how many job opportunities were provided to AfroAmericans in the state of Alabama where 1 in 5 people lives in poverty. Sen. Shelby has been in DC for well over 4 decades. He learned how to pork barrel early on and he's one of the few who still does it. Helps that he sits on the appropriations committee. Otherwise, most congresspeople are working for party-wide interests moreso than their constituencies. But, the American people (voters) need to do a better job of understanding 1) for whom they are voting and 2) what they plan to do and 3) how Washington DC works. 😎

I'm not a recording artist/musician. I mostly sit down and play for my personal enjoyment. Music is my opiate. 😎

Most public domain music I play is Jazz and R&B. Every now and then, I'll do a drive-by and play Gospel (spiritual, traditional, contemporary).😎

I play piano/keyboards. 😎

I've mentioned a few times here that I'm also a musician.😎

I'm neither a writer nor a book reviewer. I was attracted specifically to the Culture, Race and Economy discussion forum here. That's where I've plopped into a chair. 😁😎

As I wrote in another thread, some forums will only have a few active participants with more folks who are lurkers/voyeurs. Considering the topics discussed here are not popular (sports, music, gossip, etc.), fewer people will engage in the conversation.😎
