  1. I have people tell me I am quirky, non aggressive , sensitive, good cook, good dancer, psychic, smart. So for a lot of people that makes me gay.
  2. I didn't write the article. There's no editorial content in my post. I haven't said anything. I posted it because I thought Troy and Mel would be interested in the article. I priase Del for sharing this article. However, to your point, that is just the way he is wired and It is all good. It takes all types of men to make an interesting world. Interesting since I was thinking of you when I came across this on Facebook. So even though I am posting it for you , you think I am advocating for women. @Troy @Mel men in general don't make an effort to socialise with each other. Maybe former Drug Lords can conduct workshops on creating and profitable and we'll structured organisation. The comments here answer or speak to some dynamics that plague the Black community .Someone can try to explain this to Pioneer.

  4. Sally Hemnibgs Why are Or why aren't there more women dictators. Answer : No dic, no dictator.
  5. No, this is certainly not true. The very fact that we are so often in disagreement about what constitutes integrity should be proof enough Yes it is true it's called mores or morals. Which are universal for any given culture and and time. However you can't compare across cultures and temporally it can break down over time. You have your own code of what you consider ethical. We clearly inhabit different world's. I think you and Troy are confusing a masculine perspective with domination You have your own code of what you consider ethical.

  6. It seems longer than six months ago.
  7. I was going to respond, but I don't know what you are trying to say. So protecting Black Girls from a Black Minister is a non-event. Yet Black Men protect women? @Troy and @Pioneer1 if that's the male perspective than I am embarrassed at our manhood. I have thought that each of us represents a segment of the Black Population. The lack of response from @Troy and @NubianFellow tells me that unity is not possible. Since respect ,empathy and the ability to simply hear and feel someone's experiencial pain is missing. I don't have to try and win arguments.
  8. Which is exactly what was said in the link from the New York Times. But I reference non credible news sources @Troy Can I get a witness? Whose money is it?
  9. Troy comprehension is key. I haven't argued any points. I have stated my opinion ask other members what they thought without imputing motive. Let me remind you that you said I was speaking for Mel. I didn't think so, and asked her she said no. So you may not be objective. You asked what I meant and I clearly demonstrated what I meant. And then you responded like I personally insulted you. That is how Elijah Muhammed is referred to by the NOI or is that also news to you. Cynique gave first hand evidence. Yet you wonder about the veracity of my statements. Lately you seem to not notice or acknowledge when I answer your questions. At one point Cynique had to point out to you that I had answered your question.
  10. December is a long month for me and a short month for you.
  11. @Pioneer1, De is not above using tabloids are reference material. I never heard any, other than Del, say that MLK engaged in a honosexual affair. @Delano where did you get this information? FBI allegations and audio tape. https://www.nytimes.com/1987/11/03/us/19-children-of-muslim-leader-battle-a-bank-for-5.7-million.html What do you think @Delano No You are right the CHILDREN are innocent. That's a point by point answer.
  12. You must not be keeping up with the news. So many breaking stories but not the decisive one.
  13. @Pioneer1 you are confusing your lack of knowledge with information. King was a sexual libertine, Correta didn't speak on it publicly. His extramarital affairs were very different than the Honourable Elijah Muhammed. Who has 8-13 illegitimate children.
  14. That's a statement do Black Lives Matter to Black people.
  15. The defense of women doesn't apply if it is damaging to a famous black Man. Troy and Pioneer you have truly illuminated your positions, Kudos.
  16. Does MartinLuther King's extramarital affairs with both men and women have any bearing on his legacy.
  17. I no longer try to win arguments here or try to change anyone's position. I post a link and later I state my position and I ask questions. I also don't define what your position is or should be. I think our respective positions are clear. I don't have a masculine or feminine perspective. With the exception of Bill Cosby I think about an issue. I also will do a quick search about the issue. I think the Viola Davis thread is a perfect example of my approach. I wasn't any side. And I was able to answer the question that was posed by Mel. Live and learn or not. The comments have already answered this.
  18. @Pioneer1 that was Elijah Muhammed's rational. The good out weighs the bad.
  19. And fire flies
  20. I'm done with our monologues Troy.
  21. Troy you think Black Men protect Black Women. Mel and Cynique don't agree with you. You think I am speaking for the women. Yet both Mel and myself say we are not. I thought it was common knowledge that Elijah Muhammed fathered children with his teenage secretaries. Delano : Who will protect Black Women from the Honourable Elijah Muhammed Troy: I don't know what you mean? Malcolm X: I was told by Elijah Muhammed's son that his father had children with his teenage secretaries. So I left and was threatened. Women were being taken advantage of in the NOI by the founder . It was common knowledge. And when Malcolm X said he was leaving the NOI, he was threatened. So no one in the NOI including Muhammad's son was strong enough to confront him about his sexual activities. I didn't think that needed any explanation. The founder of any organisation having sex with teenagers that he is not married to is a big problem. So in my head women and especially young women are not safe. When their leader is preying not praying. Let me know if any of that is incomprehensible to either @Troy @Pioneer1 or@NubianFellow I am awaiting your responses.

  23. I don't know what you mean
