  1. It's a really good example that doesn't prove your point. Wind is moving air. If you are assisting someone the person is still able. They just need support. Whereas help implies a more critical situation. A person needing someone to step in on some one's behalf. No shouts "Assistance, assistance, can I get some assistance." If this is still not clear listen to the Beatles song assistance. Sorry for the toppo, add should be ass. Text prompting decided add was better than ass.
  2. Some things are beyond help. You may need an assistant more than a helper. Simply because the word assistant has an ass in it. Hee hee hee
  3. with object and adverbial of direction Assist (someone) to move. ‘I helped her up’ with object and adverbial of direction Assist (someone) to move. ‘I helped her up 1Help (someone), typically by doing a share of the work. ‘a senior academic would assist him in his work’ no object ‘their presence would assist in keeping the peace’ ’ An assistant and a helper have the same function. The only difference may be that an assistant sounds more professional and helpers may not get paid like Santa's Helpers.
  4. And the winner by a Truth Knock Out Mel Hopkins.
  5. Pimps understand human nature. And I believe at one point Malcolm was a pimp
  6. @Cynique you don't strike me as self centred. Your opinions and statements logical. What do you see as your three sides.
  7. When I was at University I went to hear a speech by Louis Farrakahn. He was different than what his detractors and supporters painted him. @Cynique what's your take on my simplistic attribution?
  8. Chev really enjoyed your breakdown of the interracial pairing, plus the voice mail story was priceless
  9. Highly opinionated but not self centered.
  10. Pioneer this matches my definition (connotation?) for both words. wealthy ADJECTIVE Having a great deal of money, resources, or assets; rich. rich ADJECTIVE 1Having a great deal of money or assets; wealthy She has a wealth of talents. He was richly rewarded for his work. That's how I see them as well. @Cynique why do Black Women marry outside of their race.
  11. Some mistake their world for the entire world. Right there.
  12. Not idea indeed. Professor Smalls
  13. https://nypost.com/video/milwaukee-police-shoot-unarmed-man-holding-cellphone/?utm_source=facebook_sitebuttons&utm_medium=site buttons&utm_campaign=site buttons No additional comments or video. @Troy
  14. I was going to rewatch them but you deleted them. I was going to rewatch them but you deleted them.
  15. Very good start.
  16. There's a difference between wealthy and rich. Bianca Jagger and Jackie O were wealthy. Trump and Madonna are rich. And some people have so much charisma they don't need money. There are many worlds out there, requiring different keys to enter.
  17. So you have expertise and fell under the sway of your arch enemy. OK Troy. Facebook bad yeah now ones arguing, put down the knives.
  18. Smalls you feeling OK?
  19. @Mel Hopkinsand why do Black Women marry or date outside the race.
  20. Apparently someone wants to make Anansi white or have a white character play him. Yeah I read Am I a God. Which is what it says if you just read the lit letters. The series was good.
  21. My mother ask me why don't I date Black Women, later it became don't you like American girls. My mother's Uncle was half Austrian. And my grandmother was half Mohawk Indian.
  22. No I can't in fact I don't know what you mean. Which is why I asked you for an example. I listened to about 40 minutes. Even before I listened I knew I would not finish it. It seems more like something Pioneer would like or post, than you. Going back to my book. Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman.
  23. No he said Islam was the original religion of Africans. Do you think that is true. Ironically I used to wonder why successful Black Men married outside of the race. I had a Black Women give me a bit of heat about dating a white woman. She said a black man and a black women that's a good couple. After we broke up she dated women, and married a one.
