aka Contrarian

This from a someone who is wallowing in the cesspool of white male derangement syndrome. 🥱😴

I guess ridiculing is all You can do when one of your own is outed. And you wonder why white supremacy prevails. LMAO

A highly successful black man has been humbled and brought to his knees sobbing, a public spectacle begging for forgiveness and leniency and mercy. And , who of all people, take great pleasure in mocking his downfall? 2 other black males. I find this ironic. Amusing, but ironic.

@Mel HopkinsGlad to get your input on this subject. I wish Chevdov would also contribute her opinions. Of course arguing with pioneer is an exercise in futility. Meglo-maniac that he is, he wants to make the world over in his image, and he views things through a warped lens. Tsk-tsk.

@Mel HopkinsI apologize for not being more verbal in my response to your latest post. It really is gratifying to see you happy again and I wish you and the newyweds all the best! Everybody looks great! 🫶

@Pioneer1I never specifically included Sally Hemings in my rebuttals because I knew there was controversy and mixed reports about her relationship with Thomas Jefferson. I simply found what ProfD had to say about them interesting. What I do know is that in the slave pecking order which spawned the colorism which endures to this day, were the "field niggas", the "yard niggas". and the "house niggas", and the "house niggas" were favored by their Massas and took pride in this status. As far as I'm concerned, the only people who know the true nature of Sally and Thomas' relationship, are Sally and Thomas. I will not be drawn into your imagined scenario. Keep in mind that I am 92 years old, and I know whereof I speak when it comes to "Kept" women and "Sugar Daddies," a term, which is black in origin. My knowledge comes by way of neighborhood gossip and parental anecdotes and even a childhood friend who was raised by an aunt who was the mistress of a well-off white man. Here again it is my intent to refute your claim that white men and black women didn't have an affinity for each other, as opposed to the black men you absolved for choosing white women on the grounds that they voluntariy coupled for romantic reasons. All of which proves that love and attraction transcend superficial differences because we are all members of the same human race. And I continue to wish Serena and her husband well in spite of your childish attempts to dehumanize him as a stick of melting margarine who doesn't have a large penis.

I will "go right ahead", using MY scenarios, not YOURS. Blah, Blah, BooHoo. Wipe your tears and stop blubbering because The "Kept" black woman and her white "Sugar Daddy" were not a dynamic of slavery times, Dummy! These mutually consenting liaisons, usually between a well-off older white man and "fancy" black female, ( the original side piece) came about in the years after slavery. Get your shit straight. Broaden your knowledge of black culture which you think you're such an expert on. The point is, we cannot assume, as you do, that all black women always hated all white men. It just depended on the circumstances then - as it does now, something your obstinate psyche is unable to process because you are in the throes of cognitive dissonance. Inasmuch as nobody appointed you arbitrator of how black people are supposed to look, unlike you, I will let people decide for themsleves who they find appealing and direct the women to check out "Beyond the Gates", the black soap opera on CBS, that daily serves up a smorgesborg of fine black men! I think movie star Michael B. Jordan is who a lot of young black women currently go for. Sterling K. Brown, Morris Chesnut, Tyrese, and LaKeith Stanfield are also "hot". You're welcome, Ladies.

Yes, you are mistaken, - as you so often are; mistaken and devious. So, take your cherry-picked, strawman argument and stuff it along with your pre-conceived notions. (Who said "kept" black women didn't like their white "sugar daddies"? Or "house" slaves didn't like being their massas' favorite bedmate? You thought wrong. Get real. ) Fast forward to 2025 where, in the present, diversity exists and individuals are free to choose a mate for whatever reason suits their situation, and this includes being in love, something you try to denigrate because it doesn't align with your malicious, lewd narrative. You have a one-track mind and assume everyone is as preoccupied with sex as you are. Nor do you seem to have the least idea what aphrodisiacs power and intellect can be. Yes, particularly as it applies to you black men, many of whom still equate having a white wife as the icing on the cake when it comes to "having it made" in America. "Real", indeed. This idea is deeply entrenched in the black male psyche, and is his Archilles heel.

@Pioneer1SMH.Pathetic.The only thing more obvious than your frustration is your jealousy and envy. You are totally threatened by white males and are in denial about how overrated black masculinity is. You cling to the black stud myth idea like a security blanket. Unlike ProfD, you can't just confidently take the Serena situation and all of its implications in your stride. No, instead you have to go overboard in your resentment and hysterical put-downs about a situation that should be of no concern to you. Why does how Serena Williams' conducts her personal affairs, drive you up the wall? It's none of your damned business. Getta life! And you gotta be kiddin about Denzel who's well past his prime, ready to be put out to pasture, all tired and worried lookin. And Idris who is getting by on his celebrity cuz there's a hell of a lot more better pickins out there than him! . You need to update. It's 2025. Secure people don't have to bad mouth the competition. They give credit where credit is due and keep on truckin. If black women want to do what black men have been doing for years when it comes to white mates, then black men have only themselves to blame.

One of the things Chicago's mayor revealed in a press conference attended by all the head honchos of the Illinois Democractic party, gathered today to decry the invasion of troops and the intimidation of ICE agents, was that these quasi- military groups are privately-operated security guard companies whose owners have secured lucrative contracts to do this work. In other words, they are nothing but paid mercenary storm troopers hired by federal agencies and deployed to urban areas by tRump and his minions to intimidate and lay the ground work for the coming police state. Meanwhile the Federal government is again on the brink of a shut down because the Repugs and the Dems can't reach a compromise. Wake me when it's over. On second thought - just let me sleep away. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

That's food for thought! Especially in these times.

Now we know what kind of person "begrudges Serena her happiness". The usual opinionated blather and imagined scenarios, and obsessive, insecure attacks on white males and condescending assumptions about women. Put a sock in it! @Serena: kudos to you for getting your life in order. You go, Girl! 😉👌👍 Serena and her handsome 6'5" millionaire husband.

How long is it going to take before the planet is crashed by consumerism. Does the book written in 1932 say? Are there any old books around predicting the emergence of AI?

The latest in the white-on-white carnage is that the state of Utah has set aside 1 million dollars to hire the best, high-profile, public defenders to represent Charlie Kirk's murderer, Tyler Robinson, the guy it is seeking the death penalty for. Talk about being on "the horns of a dilemma"! Trying to prevent the son of MAGAs from being executed for destroying the sun of MAGAs is creating a world of trouble for the white segment of the little blue dot. 😳

News nobody gives a damn about: DA BEARS finally got a lucky break and beat the LA RAIDERS in the final seconds of play with a blocked field goal, 25-24. Both of my teams won this week. Finally, something to cheer about!!! Meanwhile, over the week-end, Government troops showed up in Chicago, and proceeded to patrol the downtown business district popularly known as the "loop" and is where the smash and grab robberies have been occurring. The details are sketchy... There is an uneasy peace at the local ICE facility as protesters continue to demonstrate. America, the home of the Brave. 🥹

Apparently, after a series of failed relationships, Serena Willians has finally found happiness. What does it say about a person who begrudges her this, and tries to steal her joy? Venus Williams just recently got engaged to the successful millionaire she is pictured with below.

'Just finished watching the local news to get the latest on the ICE demonstration rockin my town. Things have really escalated. Police from all the surrounding towns on the scene as well as state troopers. iCE agents clubbing and dragging demonstrators who are growing in numbers. Traffic tied up and being re-directed, the Mayor fumimg and saying she wants these goons gone! It's unclear why and how they just showed up and opened a facility and started arresting people! The latest casuality is a fast food Tamale place that has been raided and closed down, its owners taken into custody. UNBELIEVABLE! Oh, well. At least Illinois beat USC in a close game. 24 to 21 Let's go BEARS.

@umbrarchistAs the title "Status Seekers" implies, it's about impressimg others with the symbols of wealth and success! A sleek, new, expensive car, for instance, theoretically makes you the envy of your peers, or at least commands a modicum of respect. On the other hand, in the materialistic realm, a modest economical life stlyle reduces you to just being an average bloke even if you are highly intelligent and of good character. That's the fallacy exposed by the book Karl Marx wasn't about private enterprise and profits, he was about a class-less, state run society. Communism, as you know, is the anti-thesis of Capitalism. Presumably, the free enterprise of Capitalism is more compatible with the "democracy" adopted by the American republic. zzzzzzzzzzzzz

@umbrarchistWell, isn't "planned obsolescence" at the very root of a Capitalistic system? How can industry thrive and survive if there isn't an ongoing need for the products they manufacture? Vance Packard also wrote "The Status Seekers". An insightful look at the link between materialism and self-esteem.

@ProfDSigh. Yes. All the polls and pundits predicted Hilliary would win. Besides the private e-mail server another factor which contributed to her loss was the betrayal of her very own. Once inside the polling booth, white suburban women caved in and voted the same as their male chauvanistic husbands. Still, Hillary did win the popular vote by over a million ballots. The fallacious electoral college which has its origins in white supremacy was the final nail in the coffin of her candidacy. I was disgusted and disappointed that during tRump's self-indulgent tantrum at the UN, where he raked other world leaders over the coals, that they didn't stand up and walk out, or at least "booo" his words. Instead they all just sat in silence. Were they intimidated? White supremacy is a powerful self perpetuating dynamic that lives up to its name.

Has any rational person ever suggested e-mails, texts, or letters be sent to diseases? How muddled can you get? Age and time in relation to numbers are abstract concepts too deep to be comprehended by shallow indviduals.

James Comey played a big role in Hillary Clinton's loss to Trump when he revealed that she had a private email server days before the election;news that turned the tide in Trump's favor. It's generally conceded that Hillary was one of the most qualified candidates to ever seek the office of POTUS. Had she defeated Trump in 2016, and become president , the whole course of history would've changed and chances are America would not be in the terrible shape it's in today under Republican rule. Me and a lot of others have never forgiven Comey for this, and he's finally getting his just desserts. He has become a pariah to both parties.

I remember hearing the term "planned obsolescence" at least 60 years ago. Seemed like it had to do with cars "being out of style" before the buyer finished paying for them. It was not something consumers were completely in the dark about. The attitude toward this practice was very cavaliere, often joked about. I knew a coupla guys who regularly purchasef a new car before they finished paying for their current one, claiming - this saved money(?) altho that doesn't make sense.

Is this the case that Colin Kaepernik is financing an independent autopsy for?

@ChevdoveDid you see our girl Sha'carri Richardson lead the U.S. Womens' 4x100 relay team to the gold at The World Track&Field Meet in Tokyo again? She ran the anchor leg and won by a - false eyelash😉
