  1. I am not overly concerned about cosmetic issues. Troy
  2. That's an ad hominem attack.
  3. Did their James Brown's and Al Sharpton's hairstyle negatively effect their message or their image?
  4. What about James Brown and Al Sharpton? Wasn't conk the style in the 40's-50's?
  5. What is the definition of a racist?
  6. No I stopped at the relevant bit for my argument. In the future I will neither ask nor give further clarification from/to you.
  7. What part of the quote ,implies or makes that statement?
  8. Therefore, if we really want to observe ourselves and find out what we are, we are really beings of energy and vibration, radiating our own unique energy signature -this is fact and is what quantum physics has shown us time and time again. We are much more than what we perceive ourselves to be, and it’s time we begin to see ourselves in that light. If you observed the composition of an atom with a microscope you would see a small, invisible tornado-like vortex, with a number of infinitely small energy vortices called quarks and photons. These are what make up the structure of the atom. As you focused in closer and closer on the structure of the atom, you would see nothing, you would observe a physical void. The atom has no physical structure, we have no physical structure, physical things really don’t have any physical structure! Atoms are made out of invisible energy, not tangible matter The above is from this page https://www.collective-evolution.com/2014/09/27/this-is-the-world-of-quantum-physics-nothing-is-solid-and-everything-is-energy/
  9. Troy replied to Delano's topic in Culture, Race & Economy Del for the most part in our daily lives there isobjectivereality. 2 + 2 will always equal 4. People who refuse to accept that 2+2=4 because they believe it could be equal to something else, despite evidence to the contrary are going to have problems dealing withreality. @Troy
  10. Two persons but four people.
  11. And so concludes this discussion for me.
  12. So is love less real if it isn't perceived by an audience. Except the beloved.
  13. Nubian you say Black Women are beautiful as they are, yet you can't accept Cynique choosing to wear a wig.
  14. So a magician is really sawing a woman in half. Since that's what the audience sees?
  15. No I don't think so, but I'll get back to this later.
  16. Nubian you are being dishonest whether this is conscious or not . You are suggesting Cynique should follow your suggestion of what to wear. Even though she has explained why she wears a wig. I read critically. You have said the proper order is for the Black Man to lead and the Black Woman to follow. You are correct about a war. Except the war is about belief and ideology.
  17. How does square with discerning the difference between perception vs reality.
  18. what about object vs subjective reality.
  19. I guess I am either not a guy or I disagree with this post. @NubianFellowWhy not respect and listen to other people's choices.
  20. https://ed.ted.com/lessons/rethinking-thinking-trevor-maber#review
  21. How do you tell the difference?
  22. Okay what do you think my point is Nubian
  23. @NubianFellow Maybe you shouldn't be condescending when you are missing the point. That both Cynique and I have attempted to convey to you.
  24. In addition I asked Nubian Fellow what thought about what Cynique and I said about the mind and hair .No response. Troy reread what I posted. The very first thing I said Black people should be more concerned with the content of their mind rather than the conditions of their hair. Dick Gregory.   What the time and cost ratio of hair care to education. Cynique made a similar comment which NF didn't get. Then says the thought process is naive. Perhaps you should reread Cynique last comment with my statements in mind. He answered the second not the first statement. Hence my statement about ignoring the first statement. Also the point both Cynique and I made explicitly stated focusing on the mind.
  25. Troy that's a good question, what I was pointing out subtly to NF was our comments Cynique and myself mentioned the mind. While Nubian Fellow is going on about hair. And then telling me it's naivet to think it's just about hair. Does that clarify it. I have looked at Nubian Planet all the women are pinups. Does that represent all women. So only fit attractive women are beautiful. So iT's exclusionary and not exactly celebrating the beauty of all Black Women. What is my sacred cow Cynique?
