  1. There aren't women in dominant positions on the church. That is also true in education and as a consequence commerce. I thought it would be obvious that this is true for science as well/ The church is a patriarchal structure. And is the foundation for most systems in the U.S. One nation under God.
  2. cynique I was just wondering if any Chinese people influenced your opinion. I will ask my Chinese friend what he thought of Black Panther.
  3. I am not trying to defend China , it is like saying Donald Trump and Google are representative of the American people.
  4. Does that also mean that Christianity endorsing the slave trade is of no consequence? Or that the internet is built on a military platform? Or that none of the founding father were working class. Or that the Rhodes scholarship was founded by the family the funded Cecil Rhodes , Rhodesia is named after him? I think all of those are of consequence? So the roots of something, have no consequence of what fruit is borne. This is one of our points of depature.
  5. Cynique how many Chinese immigrants have said this to you?
  6. Theyare also buying land in Africa and Australia. I would make a distinction between what the government does vs what the citizenry does.
  7. Timbuktoo aand the library of Alexandria are closed. The pyramids predate Pythagoras but it is named after him. I am well aware that the source of knowledge and wealth comes from Africa. Whether that's gold diamonds slaves or rare earth elements. However the science that is practiced is from a White European base. Harvard Oxford Cambridge are the Gold standard. Can you name one African University that has the same name recognition. Harvard intuitions were started by a religious order. You can argue that the base of knowledge and wealth comes from Africa. And you would be right. I would agree with you. But it doesn't matter. Hown many of your degrees from African Universities. At what point in your educational career did you consider an African University?
  8. Clearly not everyone. I have heard two types of criticisms : it's fantasy let's look at black history. It is an Africa that never existed. It meets a need that the film Malcolm X didn't. Some say it changes the image of how Blacks are seen others say it is fantasy. I would say it is both. The film is a fantasy because we are riding a Chimera we call reality conciousness life maya. Is the film important? yes and no depending on your perspective. Is it historic? Yes because it has shown us images and characters we haven't seen and the world was thirsty. It was half of tickets sold. And that is historic. China is saying Wakanda Forever.
  9. @Troy it's not important to you but it is important to a lot of people. I would put it on par with Barrack Obama getting elected. It is a film that touches on big issues: Individual vs society, tradition vs innovation, loyalty vs duty. Morality vs ethics. It's is the first movie that the cast seem to like each other. There a bit of publicity with the cast and the villain who plays Claw you could feel it was just a cast. I am not trying to change your mind. Just that it is important beyond the dollars. The first post by Cynosure had close to a 1,000 views in 3 days. So clearly it has some importance to your audience. It is important enough for us to be discussing whether it is relevant. Read this and tell me what you think. Alan Jenkins has spoken at Harvard Law School. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/black-panther-global-significance-1087878

  11. Where those University based on Chistianity Troy? Troy I named the first religous universities. Can you name yours and what they taught.
  12. How many people have you asked? What about the project they can do based on the success of the movie. Did Spike Lee make life better for Black People. Did any Black artist make life better for Black people. @Troy
  13. The above statement yes. But remember on Good Times when Florida dates the Atheist after James dies. It's like people saying Holy Cow in the US. Sapienza University of Rome, 1303 Given its date of founding, it’s no surprise that Sapienza University of Rome has racked up its fair share of Nobel Laureate alumni and professors. In addition to its place as the 11th oldest university in the world, Sapienza was also the first pontifical university, created by Pope Boniface VII @Troy Originally founded as the College of New Jersey by New Light Presbyterians in order to train ministers, Princeton University retains a number of landmarks 1746
  14. That's true, but some namby-pamby people don't want to argue with windows either.
  15. My reason is the first university from 1500'school were religious in origin. Part of Isaac Newton's university education required him to swear religious oaths. So that is within the last few hundred years. He also dedicated Principa Mathematica to God. on the hopes it would increase the number of believers. Is that information irrelevant to you? Except for the last paragraph I agree.
  16. Matter-> Energy -> Frequency -> Number -> ?
  17. If Stormy Daniels was paid from campaign funds Mueller will be interested. Jared Kushner's security clearance was taking 15 months. But it's gone because of his conflicts of interest. Sam Nunberg said he thought Robert Mueller had evidence on Trump. We shall see.
  18. Human nature is the source of the problem and solution. You seem to be a expending a lot of energy to help people without a commensurate return of income. You embody the very thing you say could change the world. If I am in error tell me.
  19. Raffles. People Donate blood for 2 cookies and orange juice. Charitable donations although some people give without expecting a tax break. Taxes go to public goods people wouldn't pay for, and they can be transfer payments to those less well off. Although this current administration has flipped that on its head. Lotteries. Some of these examples are pure giving, some are giving with the hope that you will get something, some are transfers of wealth. The solution is Black Books. Or is my inference incorrect.
  20. @Delano I'm just offering observations. I did not propose any solutions. From your statements I was making the following inferences: Black people are being exploiting by American culture. The Solution is to have an independent self sustaining culture. So I have two questions, "Is that a plausible reading from your statements? Secondly and independently of the first question, "is the solution reasonable?
  21. It's a bit early but it could be relevant. Gary Cohn quits. Adult Performer Stormy Daniels sues Trump. Trump declares Trade War is winnable. Jared Kushner under investigation.
  22. Some may seem namby pamby but don't want to argue with walls. There aren't any boring speakers just bored listeners. However you may be an exception.
  23. That's a good example because all of the other ways of counting the years are also based on religion. I mentioned this earlier. @Troy @Pioneer. If you got rid of the church and religion would it change science? I would say so. Science and Religion attempt to answer large questions. The validity of those answers appears to be personal.
  24. Things can be common knowledge but not use. Very few people think their mind is closed. Yet few have am open mind.
  25. Wants above needs is the marketers credo. Yes Mel it's an elephant. Troy I think your prognosis is correct. I disagree about the solution.
