I do not believe in Races so why would I accept the idea of any human being being 3/5.... The choice have been made....I am one of the Oppressed Nature/God has made me as I am.....I accept what and who I am with no regrets If given the choice....I will stick with Natures selection. Not all Rulers are Oppressive....heavy is the head that wears the crown Society has its flaws.....but all in all it is more good and beneficial that bad. I agree.... Calling and recognizing that everybody is human is a start. Getting arrested and going to jail is a protest. Well Racist are still trying to find a scientific rational or biological basis for race....so far they have not found anything that stands up to scientific inquiry and rigors of proving. As of today Race remain a scientific and biological fiction.

no I am not... Based on your interpretation of colorism....it is a reasonable question to ask I Agree I agree I know that is what you meant....but I felt it necessary to point out that these relatively light skinned people are native to Africa south of the Sahara Yes...Race is ascribe to various biological features especially as an aggregate with other features common to an ethnicity or geographic region. Genotype is what is pass on from parent to child....Which gene is expressed depends on diet and geography - Epigenetics The parties involved. Africans and peoples who present as black are still under threat from White racism. Basically it is a further dividing of the oppress...so as to weaken and foster internal strife and turmoil. The whole idea of Race is a biological lie.... It is a social construct introduce to divide human beings along lines of their differences....so as to oppress use and abuse for purposes as of greed a section of humanity. Most humans are 99.9% identical in their genetic make up..... Yes I am.....yet I never abandon them in their time of need...... only in their time of want True.. if i am wrong please correct me as to my supposition on your behalf. I will take that to mean you would not ....even though they are of a light complexion. My guess is you would not abandon theses people because you know that they are Africans So to you their Africanness is more important than their humanity....this is so because you ascribe to the ideology of Races. Then we should use it to divide the racist oppressors....not ourselves. I posted people of the same Khoi San people who treat their hair....to demonstrate that what they have is a afro hair Please....peppercorn or peasy hair you posted is mostly a result of washed untreated uncombed hair -

Interesting side note First thing is that Indians was in ancient and pre-colonial times considered Ethiopians Some Indians Historians of Dravidian ethnicity trace their ancestry back to modern day East Africa....Ethiopia Eritrea Somalia and Djibouti - Horn of Africa K Harris mother is from the Indian State of Tamil Nadu which is in the South of Indian....Tamil Nadu is the Blackest State in India - in my opinion. Tamil is believed to be one of the oldest language in the World....Residents of Tamil Nadu are mostly of the Dravidian Ethnic group Though K Harris mother says she is of the Brahmin Caste....One could say(not necessarily true) that the Brahmins are the whitest caste in India Thanks for the reveal Chevron Dove.. Traits can also be exclusive to an individual....as in idiosyncratic - usually based in/on a particular gene expression What gene is responsible for this genetic trait that is exclusive to and only found in Africans? Aren't we all of African Descent? How so? That is why science does not rely on observation alone....The earth looks flat but is it? Aren't Traits also a result of genetic variation and gene expression due to geography. Define this genetically speaking LOCKS that is exclusive to Black Africans? Coily means tightly curled as in LOCKS Kinky Frizzy wooly nappy springy bushy are all basically afro.....3a-4c Congratulations....I respect the accomplishment True...the Halo of Angels and the fully bloomed Crown Chakra Is this seal of the Living God exclusive to Africans with Afro Hair? under a microscope....is that still phenotype? African Hair runs the spectrum from straight to coily....As African hair is the mother of all types of Human Hair. -

True because its a trait....a phenotype is a collection of traits - curly or coily hair type These people are definitely not black.....but brown They are Africans We are all Africans and Africans have the widest genetic diversity....these are some of the most unmixed peoples In other words these traits are in all humans.....just to varying levels and degrees of expression - Genotype No its not Yes....but only after their is no chance of reconciliation The division you are recommending is more of an abandonment of people facing or enduring oppression in their time of need. Abandoning people in their time of need is truly a despicable act... In the picture you posted of Africans who are not black but brown....would you divide out/against these san people? Those type of classification and categorization has always been used as a means to oppress -
Regardless she is being informed by societies mores True and sometimes they were considered as non whites. Racist idea are ingrained in all people born and grown in USA....as a default - One most work to dislodge racist ideas. Human Beings are biological creatures.... all are homo sapiens sapiens AfroAmericans are political and social creatures.....The idea of 3/5 humans was a political idea and race is a social idea The moment you begin to divide people....you become an oppressor of those who are divide out they become the "Other" What if they experience prejudicial and discriminatory oppression because society deems them to be black? By the fact that races do not exist as a biological truth...if you accept that social construct as genetically true the you have accept a Racist Ideology All humans are Africans and all Africans are human beings.....Regardless of Phenotype

Appearances can be deceptive I think Most Shaman mostly smoke.....tobacco How do you know that weed is not among the variety of herbs.....they use I will not disagree..

True They are many types of weed....each giving a different effect according to your immediate environment and mood. Those are beginning effects ....THC enter the blood stream from the Lungs - blood shot eyes/red eyes order of effects 1.Paranoia 2. Short term temporary memory lost/disorientation 3. Relaxation 4.Heightened Sensory perception/attention to details. 5. Time dilation/slowed time 6. Humor/Laughter 7. loss of physical dexterity /impairment 8. Dry mouth and increase appetite 9. Euphoria 10. Heavy eyelids/sleepiness/cloudiness How do you know....it cannot make you smarter? Thats going against centuries of Shamanic Ancestral Wisdom of nearly every culture. It is in this "feel different" state that wisdom is often sought and found.. When it comes to making you feel better is the very reason ....why Shamans were also called bush or witchdoctors

Yes.. sure it does it is true statement. Yes that is true I don't Not necessarily...She grew up in a white environment where her mother is not just seen as white....but more seen as Italian - in that same white family her father is seen as American as in Black American. How Black????....as in degrees of blackness She grew up in a racist society....and those are the standards of beauty... Well she does look like Jayne Kennedy.. Yes they are black if society says they are. This idea that you are now espousing will only serve to exasperate the situation to the benefit of those oppressing blacks. This idea is not new...it was introduced to the west in the 1500 to oppress non white people called the Casta System - Mulatto creole octoroon quadroon etc Yes because she was seen as not white ....black Well some say they do not feel accepted by the black community....as they are seen as not black enough. You are entitled to your opinions....no matter how misguided I think they are.

There is no phenotype that is exclusive to any one race.... if so inform me Thats not proof .......thats a definition The thing with divisions is that it tends to lead to enmity and more division. Since they are not accepted by whites and half their family is black.....i think you will end up with more confusion In the USA They once were considered black then white then black again....just as Polish Irish ad Italians were not always considered white. You have dark skinned and African descent latino and light skinned and European descent latino The Term Latino means of Latin American descent or ethnicity....especially one whose native language is Spanish I am referring to black white mixes.... They are not white either ....... The you are back to were we are all degrees of white or black and the difference is arbitrary. You are entitled to your own definition.....all members of society may not always see like you do -

frankster replied to nels's topic in Culture, Race & Economy
How do you recognize this predominance? Present your evidence or proof of the biological basis of race? think we had this conversation before Yes we are.... So you recommending more division.. passing is only for those who present as white .....not those who present as mixed. In America Mixed has always meant Black Those who present as mixed.....say they feel as if they do not belong or accepted to/by either race. okay but that still does not mean fully or totally. I was referring to born Americans? Anatomically and Biological Yes.....Most humans are of one sex -

frankster replied to nels's topic in Culture, Race & Economy
How do you define "black" as in a racial category? Since there is no biological basis for race....we are often using ethnic characteristics as a base for socially construct race. American(Nationality) as an ethnicity is split in two Cultural and Phenotypical divide.....Black and White mostly based on how you Present and Represent In this time or on this occasion or for this purpose "half "only serves to divide...us Black American people We are all composed of varying proportion of multiply Races(ethnicities)...at what fraction do you become one or no longer of the other? Do you really know anybody that is "fully black" or "fully white"? -

I am Going to Vote for Kamala... because she is half Black and a Woman. What are the Qualification Required to be President?.. 35 yrs of age or older Natural born Citizen lived in the USA for at least 14 yrs - her qualifications are Indisputable Two Individuals has been SELECTED for us - of which we must choose one to be our next President.... Should she win.... Do I want her to do something specifical for black people....yes Am I expecting her to do something special and specific for Black people...No Am I expecting her to promise something special and specific for Blacks....No - that would be tantamount to political suicide. Politicians are not what most of us expect or are taught that they are... Politicians are first and foremost creatures of Moneyed interest/issues(donors/pacs) and Popularity(electorate). African Americans are less than 14% of the Electorate(2020)... Asian Americans out number us on that count. African American contribution represent less than 14% of funds received for political Campaigns.... If we want Kamala to do something for us Blacks then we must continue to agitate organize and institute.. Support your local and national movements on issues that are close and dear to you with your intellect time and or money...even when they not perfect. For Me the primary black issues are Affirmative Actions and Reparations (Includes Africa and The Diaspora) -
Informantion is coming out that Sonia Massey's Murder was premeditated and the noise she heard outside her home that led to her to calling the police was done by the Police officer who shot and murdered her.

Yep Everybody for the most part is playing by the decency rule book...being the bigger person or as Michelle Obama put it - When they go low we go high... Trump on the other hand is a maverick and plays by his own rules.....remember Trump made fun of the Paul Pelosi beat down - then retracked it. His own Secretary Of Defense Mark Esper said Trump ask if he could shoot the George Floyd Demonstrators. But will this method work to the Democrats advantage when we are dealing with individuals who are die heart bible thumping evangelicals...A resounding No in my opinion An a appeal to Reason Logics and Rationality will not convince the die hearts....like the youtube below Trump’s 40 Biggest Broken Promises Revealed | Robert Reich To thin his base of die hearts an appeal to emotions is the only way....

The Primary reasons why Jamaal Bowman lost is two...in my opinion 1. His Rigteous Indignation to speak Truth to Monied Power.... 2. Gerrymandering/Redistricting......renders electoral politics void of True representation for Black and Brown Americans. Electorial politics as it is practice in most of the world is flawed in that money plays a large role in who gets elected...in other words votes can be bought both directly and indirectly - it is the Capitalist way and as such to many it may not be a flaw. For every "shortcomings" their is a reason or cause....Black people have many. To which shortcomings of us black people do you specifically refer? Where do you see the cause and reason for this....in otherswords where in lies our fault? Yes I know them well. Black Corruption is real Black Consumerism and Black Conspicuous Materialism Are also both Real. The Stress and Oppression of White Supremacy is Real....to me Are you saying that Black Corruption and Black Consumerism should not be Attributed to the Opression of White Supremacy experienced by Black Africans? Or Are you saying Neither White supremacy and or The Oppression of Blacks exists? Where ever Truth is being communicated I will co-sign and have. My co-signing does not make it official...as I am Not an Authority or have any Authority on the issues we discuss here Like You and @ProfD I am only sharing my opinions and enjoy hearing others...Especially Yours on this topic

I learn from your questions and share what I know with all as best as I can. Here in the West and the Arab East it would appear to be an Economic, Abled Bodiedness and Knowledge.... The Europeans first enslaved the local Taino Indians but they could not with stand the rigors of Plantation life and Whites who were used to replace them did not fare(perform) much better. It was Bartolome Las Casa who suggested Africans and so Racism(slavery based on color) White Supremacy was Born. What kept it going was that it was immensely profitable leading to the Industrial Revolution and the Invention of Capitalism. Chattel Slavery was new because it reduced a Humen being to a thing or animal.....All other forms of Slavery maintained the slaves Humanity There is reason.... Africans could produce so much and still survive to breed not matter how harsh the treatment or how hard they were pushed. The rhyme... India and China was on their way to Industrialization.....African enslavement gave Europe the ability to overtake them So Let me try to alleviate your chronic pessimism by share a Toaist Tale Saii Weng shi ma The Story of the Old Man and His Horse (Sai Weng Shi Ma, Yan Zhi Fei Fu) 塞翁失马, 焉知非福 Never Forget All Humanity is benefiting from our Sacrifice/Suffering Every Race has experience Enslavement at one time or other in there History There is absolutely no way of answering your query definitively. Past Behavior is said to be the best predictor of future behaviour....if this be true Most African led Nations/States of the Past are known for their Tolerance and Mixed societies....Moorish Spain(Al Andalusia) Two Recent One is Zimbabwe and South Africa and even Haiti There was no reprisals against whites in general in either Haiti Zimbabwe or South Africa on a State sanctioned Level. I think this is because Africans on a whole are not xenophobic and do not demonize/dehumanize other human beings even when at war with them The Exception is the Hutus demonize the Tutsi which resulted in Genocide....it is now known that France play a role in Fomenting this occurrence. Consumerism and Materialism is a result of Marketing or as @ProfD the opiate we use to hide or survive our hardship Good day.....Yaaaaah

So Goes Africa...so goes Black America and other Blacks from the Diapora....our fate is One - sealed in our skin color. We live in a World Lorded over by Racist....who seek to impoverish and disempower black skinned peoples everywhere. Europe defeated Africa because Europe united under skin color...Making them a Continental power - whilst we were still Nation/states. They Met In Berlin and devise a plan of Conquest - as a continent against nations The Slave trade and Black Africans took their Freedom because the Haitians defeated France Spain and England The Three Great European powers and Haiti was the sole major supporter and supplier of Simeon Bolivar Conquest of a large swath of South American countries. This shook white supremacy to its core. Hidden from us is the full extent of the Role Haitians played in the American Revolutionary war Our Skin color is our Mark of Cain and says to the world.....The Oppressed The Permanent Under Class - Globally There is a concerted effort by very powerful and connect organizations that still practice promoted and institutionalize White Supremacy as the De facto and De jure state of Affairs on a Global stage. Most Black Africans do not like Black Americans or Blacks from the West....we are called Akata or Obruni. The same is true for Most black Americans do not like Black African and Blacks from the diaspora. In Short we all do not like each other. WHY??? We live in a Global Culture that teaches ALL to hate BLACK SKIN Features and Culture....We Black People are part of that ALL We are Taught Self Hate and we express what we learn.....Hate and distrust of people who look like ourself as ugly and unhealthy. Yes Most African countries are politically free today...because of Pan Africanism Many are progressing toward Economic Freedom....Because of Pan Africanism It is called functional Unity....like when Russia and The US Allied to defeat Germany White Supremacy is ingrained Ideology of Western Europe...Eastern Europeans mostly learn of it when they go west or come in contact with Non-whites European are not Oppressed based on their Skin... Tell me if their are any Black led Country/Nations/States in NATO....do not be tricked by the name/nomenclature They all share and benefit from those who are oppressed because of their skin color...Berlin Conference/Scramble for Africa The Only Reason Racism still exist is because money and power is being made from and because of it What do you think US/Western support for Israel is? Show me a time when any socalled White Nation/State came to the Aid of a colored state against a white population or state or Nation.? The opposite is common place. The Exception is Russia and Communist States. That is Geo Politics....The US is Moving NATO on the Borders of Russia - Cuban Missile Crisis in Reverse Russia never practise Imperialism based on White Supremacy or Codified Institutional Racism. Nations and States go to war for many reason.....and because they share white supremacy in common does not mean they no longer fight among themselves and if they do that does not mean they no longer are racist. Christians fight among themselves so do Arabs and Muslims....that does not mean they are no longer Christians Arabs or Muslims The Peoples of Korea were victims of a proxy war and had little to do with the Split that was between Russia The US and China....the Koreans are victims of Cold war politics Like Vietnam almost was and Germany was for a time. We came together for Civil Rights....Functional Unity The Black Peoples of Africa fought together for their political sovereignity....Pan Africaisn African Culture is not a fantasy....if it was it would not have been outlawed in the West. Prior to the 1900 all people where part of a Kingdom and as such the King or Queen was the Official and Constitutional Father and Mother of the Nation Tribe Clan or Subjects. Africans were here in great Numbers before Columbus set sail....These Pre- Columbian Africans were all over The Caribbean and North and South America That is because you do not know African History. In Short Africans had a Global Civilization all over the World based on Trade. Civilization was founded by Africans....Africans brought civilization to Europe. We are no longer a Civilization...in a civilization commerce reigns supreme - Reason and civility We are living in a Barbarization...in a Barbarization Conquest reigns supreme - Violence and greed As it should and you are entitled to your own interests.. Blacks in the West because of Racism mostly vote out of Fear or Desperation hoping that thats whats best for themselves and the country. Elections are One every 4yrs...The Power of the Vote is so ephemeral it should be considered a Distraction a ceremony of lies and promises. Real Political Power is in Agitations Organizations and Institutions Africa and African at Home and Abroad in the Diaspora and their Descendants...The Whole World is Africa - All Peoples are Africans Descendants. Yes Africans and Africa is my first Love Please do check out META AI Your Questions are the best and most interesting I have Had in Years....and thats not an exaggeration. My fear is that I was not adequate for the task they required. Please I love these queries....I live for them - bring it on Thank you.

@ProfD is correct. The individual has chosen - that is free will....but lacks the Discipline Commitment or Ability to follow through. This lack of Discipline/Commitment will result in a yielding to the path of least resistance which is usually previous habits formed...Which is still an expression of their Free Will. Habits are informed and influenced by previous experiences and thoughts that now are the default setting Habits are like a body in motion - force of habit....To change the trajectory or speed another force/body must act upon it - Form new good habits that are desirable. -

I cannot see existence without influences known and unknown....that is the default setting of human existence Our senses mental and physical bodies are organs design to seek out and to understand our situation and environment. Maybe we should define what we mean or think free will means Free Will is the ability to decide or choose among a given set of Options...Instinctive Reaction or Intellectual Response. Real Free Will is the ability to Create Options - Divine Discontent....Intuition True Free will is the Ability to achieve a Desired Out Come - Divine Volition...Not My will but thy will -

HAPPY JUNETEENTH ONE AND ALL I believe Free Will exist at the point of Decision....The Choices we make are the extent of our free will The results or outcome from the choices we make are beyond our control...except through know-how Whether or not one answer the call of various influences affecting you from within yourself or from without. Every action taken or not taken is the result of influences....that is inescapable. You can or could decide now or may have made the decision long ago in the past Looking back we can and will ascertain the reasons why a particular decision was made. The circumstances and influences does not take away free will....it explains it Every action reactions or response is a Decision....be it Prepared rehearsed or completely unexpected surprise The more knowledge we have....the less free will it seems we have - understanding the mechanics of decision making robs it of its independence only in our Minds.
