  1. I did define ethnicity earlier....making this point irrelevant. here it is again: "Ethnicity is self imposed group identity of people who share a common culture heritage history and often share common set of blood lines(kinship)" Meaning number 4 from the link you so graciously provided states the following where in even one membership in a specific profession can be categories as a race below the definition you will see some examples of Context and Uses. : a group of people sharing some habit or characteristic (such as profession or belief) … the whole race of politicians put together.—Jonathan Swift The Apostles, though they were fishers too, were of the solemn race of sea-fishers …—Henry David Thoreau … the race of domestic clowns or jesters, maintained in the houses of the wealthy …—Sir Walter Scott … to become a Dissenter seemed to him identical with choosing God instead of mammon. That race of Dissenters is extinct in these days, when opinion has got far ahead of feeling …—George Eliot … our daughters haunt the town as if searching for something they missed, walking up beside the rocks with books in their arms like a race of little nuns.—John Updike Yes....So when black parents birth an albino....is that child of the "white Race"? No...you are. Yes....that is the definition of race as a Social Construct... Race is not a biological fact .......but it is a Social fact Eugenists tried and failed to prove race genetically.... All humans share 99% the same genes....so we are alike than we differ Now if you had only read further down on your own link you would have found the biological definition of race....think it was no.3 biology : a group within a species that is distinguishable (as morphologically, genetically, or behaviorally) from others of the same species https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/race
  2. Yes....with roots in biology All Physical traits of humanity can be found among Africans....Most traits are shared among all humans regardsless of ancestry Why are they not two different races? how
  3. Malicious is always harmful and as such it is also violent... Violence is not always physical... Thanks for the admission.....running in circles is what you are good at Never said anything like that.... But in that statement does not means imply to me... But does not implies....it contrast which is how I read it and answered accordingly I gave you my answer which is and was direct and to the point. Than most of the rest of the world..
  4. Race is a social Construct externally imposed....based on phenotype and place of origin - esp skin color hair texture and physical features. Ethnicity is self imposed group identity of people who share a common culture heritage history and often share common set of blood lines(kinship) There is no biological basis for race.... Are Republicans and Democrats different races? Is there a French race or Spanish race? Does the difference in eye or hair color signify racial differences?
  5. It does to me Here is my first given definition of malicious on may 3 Do not leave out "malicious"....doing or intending to cause harm - injury To do or cause harm is violence Now I also said It always does...." If maliciousness is always harmful then it must also always be violent Or maybe you are trying to squirm twist and turn out of a situation yo find your self in I I quote/////..... On 4/5/2025 at 7:56 AM, Pioneer1 said: 2. In multi-racial societies where White people have to live with other groups: While Black people often form tribes and attack OTHER Black people, White people often form tribes for the purpose of attacking other people of color and NOT their own. Do you deny saying the above quote... My very first definition implied that.... You saying your opinions are based in or on facts.....is one that you have yet to provide evidence for No it clearly means became violent to me. I am at home but I am going to be busy... That is how I read it When you break whatever limits was in place... Thanks And I see you for trying to make out Africans as being more Violent.
  6. True... Malicious is always....Harmful If it is a Malicious thought....it is always harmful - often first to the Thinker And I stand by that...Either intended to do harm or having caused harm When it is a desire wish or wanting - Malice aforethought is intending....... When it is an action already done......Malicious wounding intended to harm or upset other people: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/malicious There was no mention of "Blacks/Africans being more violent " than anyone. I do not twist words You show your own guilt by your opening statement....."no I haven't" and it's not enough - Which is it? You haven't or its not enough? @Pioneer1 @Pioneer1 To be clear, when I speak of Black folks being tribal, I mean "tribal" as in grouping up for malicious purposes simply to oppose another Black person. Whether it's in a nation, a school, or on the job. See other Black people and just form gangs and cliques so people can have your "back" as you go out attackanother brother or sister. Not necessarily ????? but malicious is most often is violent.... Show me a Malicious Action that isn't violent? Your dishonesty knows no bounds Here is a quote of your query that I was answering @Pioneer1 Ok, so can you please give me an example of someone who was tolerant but violent? There was no mention of at the "same time" Yes.... Tolerance has Limits....beyond which it will not go. If the Nation have Laws that you Violate....Then they will penalize you The Nation is intolerant to all Law breakers......but Very tolerant to the Law Abiding Thus is the intention of Laws
  7. I do not accept..."one drop" I also do not accept the idea of races Every human being has African blood Yes they did.....we Africans are dark and they are pale etc.... The word slave was first applied to Europeans of the Slavic ethnicity.. Nearly every ethnic group has been enslave at one point or the other throughout history.... Romans enslaved the Britons at one point....The Britons/British Indentured the Irish and Welsh The Ottomans and The Arabs enslaved Europeans and Africans
  8. I do not think you did..... The buddhist above that i quoted and linked were initially tolerant....but then became violent - after being push too far. Tolerance has its limits beyond which it will not abide/remain.
  9. We do not know how Authentically Black he is...Being Real? Just sharing Ancestry and Having Dark Skin.....Does not meaning he is "Woke " and or Conscious. "One Drop" is the standard and most popular historically used metric to decide delineate and define race....in the Racist/Racism World view. Which and or What lie? The Blood is by way of Louisianna and Haiti No....not Racial. Both Blacks and Whites did not know they were Black or White till they Arrive in the West...and became Aware of the 'Ideology of Racism that governs Western Society. The difference is Singular Historical Experience - Transatlantic/Triangular Slave Trade/Route and its effects and purposes. Though we Share the MAAFA in Common He likely will.....Maybe not as directly as we would like.
  10. This question has been answered.....He African blood cruising in his veins. True True And since race is about Politics(social power) and Economics(financial power). In the US both historically and currently for the most part he would be considered and treated as black once his ancestry is publicly recognized and accepted. you are within your personal rights to not call him a brother. First off every human being have African ancestry Yes they are many Europeans with African Ancestry....not necessarily blacker ancestry. Italians were not always considered white....and so were treated differently. To have Black Ancestry you must be a descendant of Enslaved Africans....Continental Africans who were colonized but not enslave are Africans. You are entitled to your own belief..... When your definition or ideas clash with that of the society you are living - you will experience some rude awakening or dissonance. when you reside in a larger society they often get label you and treat you accordingly....as per their agenda I did not watch the video....just responding to the title. He is not the first African Pope or Pope of African Ancestry.. Yes it says Black so it depends on your definition of Black.....Colored brown dark mixed biracial etc
  11. The New Pope is a brother.....well he got some NGR in him
  12. The meaning of the word tolerance mean to allow or bear...it has its limits One can not be totally tolerant without limits....then intolerance will win - at some point the tolerant must be willing to defend tolerance against intolerance. So below is an example of tolerant people resisting intolerance in the form of proslytizing. What is especially interesting is that Buddhist proponents of anti-Muslim discourse often assert that Myanmar is under threat from Muslims precisely because Buddhism is, they say, a uniquely peaceful and tolerant religion. In arguing that Rohingya are illegal immigrants who promote an exclusivist and proselytising religion that is bent on geographical and cultural conquest through conversion and marriage, some Buddhist leaders in Myanmar thus exploit the very same presumption of uniform tolerance and peacefulness that makes many westerners uniquely surprised by Buddhist violence. https://gulfnews.com/opinion/op-eds/why-are-we-surprised-when-buddhists-are-violent-1.2184812 The meaning of the word tolerance mean to allow or bear...it has its limits One can not be totally tolerant without limits....then intolerance will win - at some point the tolerant must be willing to defend tolerance against intolerance. You are confusing Pacifism with tolerance. True true peng provide your evidence Here are some forms of Violence. Verbal Violence: While less tangible than physical violence, verbal violence can be equally damaging, inflicting emotional harm through the use of words or language. This includes insults, threats, humiliation, and other forms of verbal abuse aimed at belittling or intimidating others. Verbal violence erodes self-esteem, undermines confidence, and perpetuates cycles of trauma and insecurity. Emotional Violence: Emotional violence targets the psychological well-being of individuals, seeking to control, manipulate, or coerce them through psychological means. This can take the form of gaslighting, manipulation, emotional blackmail, or psychological abuse, leaving victims feeling isolated, powerless, and emotionally scarred. Emotional violence often occurs in intimate relationships but can also manifest in other settings, such as workplaces or educational institutions. Structural Violence: Unlike other forms of violence, structural violence operates at a systemic level, perpetuating inequalities and injustices through social, political, and economic structures. This includes systemic racism, poverty, discrimination, and other forms of structural oppression that disproportionately impact marginalized groups. Structural violence often goes unnoticed or unrecognized but has profound and far-reaching consequences for the health, well-being, and life chances of individuals and communities. https://www.victimsofviolencefoundation.org/unveiling-the-spectrum-of-violence-understanding-its-forms-and-impact/ Real funny....you still running or shucking and jiving? So you posted something that does not back your claim... Why you try to use our ancestors to support your lies??? You have....malicious and attacking is enough Malicious is violent.. Walking it back yes
  13. Are you really being dishonest over a simply discussion....that ia in print/recorded - so Republican of you Let me quote You again @Pioneer1 To be clear, when I speak of Black folks being tribal, I mean "tribal" as in grouping up for malicious purposes simply to oppose another Black person. Whether it's in a nation, a school, or on the job. See other Black people and just form gangs and cliques so people can have your "back" as you go out attack another brother or sister.
  14. True... Westerm Racism has most of its roots in classism ..... Rich whites did not want poor and indentured whites uniting with enslaved Africans in Rebellion. The Anglo-Saxon Aristocracy in the US called the Plantocracy or Landowners created and instituted Racism.. They were exceptions and the Aristocracy was not monolithic Slavery is about economics....Racism is about Power - personal social and political etc..
  15. They are many forms of Racism....some will eventually be reduce to minimal levels Others will stay with us in tiny pockets or in specific centers/organizations of power for much longer The Racism that are most dangerous numbers wise are luckily the one most likely to go away.. Such are Structural Systemic and Institutional. Interpersonal Racism such as Bigotry prejudice discrimination and colorism/featurism will be with us much longer. Technically Colorism/featurism is not Racism in the traditional sense....it is a form of Bais - based on prejudice True Imo it is dying... Those whites closing ranks will get smaller and smaller though they will remain powerful and wealthy...for a while True That is true today...It seems to be changing to me Race as a factor will go away before Class....and the wealthy tops both Ok Okay you have recommended this book so many times I will now have to read it
  16. Yes Most people who practice Non-violence tend to be very tolerant Not all tolerant people are Non-violent There is a limit to toleration beyond which it will be forsaken for violence.... Non violence means there is no point at wish you should be violence....the moment you become violent - Non violence ends. Right Now I cannot have enuff. It always does.... Violence can also be an expression....see below from your own link 1 a : the use of physical force so as to injure, abuse, damage, or destroy b : an instance of violent treatment or procedure 2 : injury by or as if by distortion, infringement, or profanation : outrage 3 a : intense, turbulent, or furious and often destructive action or force the violence of the storm b : vehement feeling or expression : fervor also : an instance of such action or feeling c : a clashing or jarring quality : discordance Exactly.... I express angry feelings like threats which can result in someone having an heart attack out of sheer shock or fear Sometime it just a hard nut to crack Run all you want it is clear to me what you meant... Show where he said black folks are mor hateful or violent than white folks... That says nothing about blacks being more malicious/violent....than anybody. You have yet to provide a link stating that Africans are more violent....please
  17. Yes No.... Tolerance is a CHARACTERISTIC of non-violence Tolerance is not Non-violent Yes... Malicious means to have cause harm or to intent to cause harm.. Violence can be expressed a variety of forms.....primarily Physical Psychological Verbal Emotional Personal(reputation) Financial etc Harm is to cause physical damage or injury. It is not considered physical violence....however it can be consider emotional financial and Personal Violence - causing damage and injury. How Republican of you......rewriting an obvious truth with falsity whilst the truth is still evident. You may not have used the word violent....instead in the proof above you used the word - malicious the meaning is clear. Malcolm is not accusing....he is asking? - big difference. Malcolm already accept that fact....that many black people grew up hating themselves and the situation they are in... Malcolm was placing attention on the cause and root of this self hate. Please provide the quote from Garvey that supports your assertions... If you are going to practice this level of denial...then in future our dialogue will be ones of an exchange of opinions - with no regards to facts and truths.
  18. At no time did I claim Africans are Non-violent.... Tolerant.....accepting condoning or Allowing differences. Do not leave out "malicious"....doing or intending to cause harm - injury To do or cause harm is violence Try as you might you can run...but you cannot hide from the truth No.... Its a rhetorical question....meant to stimulate thought - not an accusation On who is propagating promoting and spreading self-hate among black people Already did that....see above typical....no evidence to corroborate your claims Which you have failed miserably to accomplish
  19. Yes that is truth it does not mean non-violent but it does mean more tolerant Less violent mean they are other more violent people or places. Here is two Quote: "To be clear, when I speak of Black folks being tribal, I mean "tribal" as in grouping up for malicious purposes simply to oppose another Black person." "however I'm not talking about humans in general but Black people in specific and it seems as if we tend to be very divided and often times SEEK division and separation from eachother more so than most other groups." Copy and paste the entire statement or response? They are many reasons...... The one I think is most relevant is that Africans do not Annihilate or obliterate their enemies and their culteres on the scale that most other continental peoples do. Historically it has been more tolerant than most other continental peoples.... Suit yourself. I have been taking a Historical and Comparative stand on this issue....and provided a study as evidence. While you have taken the racist position of highlighting Africa's Negative....out of proportion. Its not your fault though...the blame is on racist propagandist mass media - which you have thoughtlessly consume hook line and sinker I still love you and will continue to try and dissuade and deconstruction your brainwashing.
  20. They do so more than in the other four continents....historically Today Africa is less violent that ....than three other continents That Africa and Africans are more violent than most other people Yes if one is comparing levels of violence on a continental scale. Comparatively it does. No...that is not the message I ahve been trying to convey - that is the message you got More so than in many other places and continents hence - the reason there is so many languages and ethnic groups there How can that be when you have not provided any studies to back your claims...
  21. True I did not want to give her a response again.. because I know what type of query the next question would be....so I had to find another response - knowing full well it would not stop the downward spiral.. As I had no Answer...so I gave the best response I could The Purpose of Life.....is for you to Live And of Course her Answer was....Why?
  22. A depressed Sister once ask me this question...I was hard press to find an appropriate anwers so all I could do is give her a response. The meaning of Life....is the Purpose you give it Then as she spiral down...she ask me - Then what is the Purpose of Life?
  23. If that is what we are speaking about then every continent has wars... My Point is to refute your implications... When it comes to violence and intolerance.....Africa historical is Fifth out of Seven - and currently Asia has more wars than Africa I can list Genocides that happen in other continents.... Africa is not the only Continent that experience Genocide. Yes....so says the study Right Now Africa would in my opinion be ranked number 3 0r 4 There is fighting and killings going on in at least 5 or 6 of the 7 continents... Whats your point???? I already know what?? Yes because....the english language is a living language in which words usage and meaning tend to change.
