  1. I am not certain what you are saying. What is your counter argument or where is the disagreement. I am not clearly on what you are saying.
  2. You can work for someone else and create wealth for yourself.
  3. I have generally spent more time on my mind than my hair. Hey if geeks and nerds make enough money they may influence black cultural norms. Would that be of use to the community.
  4. So what in your opinion would be the cures that Black folk need. Ie money Religion language emotional maturity?
  5. How many people want to pay to see the real Nicki Minaj
  6. We are in agreement in our assessment of you. Job well done hee hee hee.
  7. How's your job done mi compadre when you got the interpretation all wrong.
  8. I can rest easy now Troy. Knowing that you will write the wrongs. Insert the appropriate smiley face or emoticon.
  9. It looks a bit different than what you posted @Troy. I can't remember this though.
  10. Troy, I believe Galton did work with genetic probabilility. I don't know enough about genetics to refute your statement. For example if your mother has Blue eyes is it the same probability as if your Grandmother has blue eyes. My gut says probably not but you wouldn't just post some statistics without knowing what your talking and mentioning me at the same time. I could look it up but
  11. Troy please elucidate the socio-political or even interpersonal similarities between myself and Pioner
  12. Delano replied to Cynique's topic in Culture, Race & Economy
    He is feeling it , and folks seem cool with him.
  13. it puts the we will not be replaced comment in perspective.
  14. But I still got down with my Boys at Soul Summit. And the Family Stand when they were at SOB's. nd all the hip hop parties in the Bronx. and a year at the paradise garage. And a year when I was a bike messenger.
  15. Troy what in your experience helps you understand. That Black Women should be cheerleaders to Black Men and have sex with them to encourage them in the struggle. the reason I am here is because we are friends. And I believe in you vision. And not to sound arrogant but my background and experience draws on business and Magic. Which I feel can be of use to us. I think Cynique is one of the best critical thinkers I have met. Plus she has isn't some dry academic. Mel is my psychic sister. and her post about the esoteric and thinking sends me into interesting corridors in the mind of Del Strachen. Pioneer post are extremely challenging and know I just read them and don't respond. since his experience is valid. and provides a window for an alternate take on things. Also once or twice he mentioned an idea I had previously. And his start has risen in my eyes, when he worked out the Issac Newtown. I spent many years dancing in the dark with a lot of Black people. until I went international in 1996.
  16. Thanks Cynique
  17. Pioneer are all of the opinons you have espoused your own experience or do they have some basis in the external world. In several countries the Astrologer was put to death if ineffective. We don't need to be careful but you should be careful. I have stated based on my experiences with about 10,000 clients everyone has an ability. So you are not only confusing your specific experience with a global. You can't see how that is possible. I agree you shouldn't be giving anyone advice unless they think like you do. Religion and spirituality exist in a mutually exclusive fields. Logic has no place in spirituality or religion. You may want to look up the definition of cognitive dissonance. The whole idea of cognitive dissonance is that your beliefs are internally consistent they just don't match reality. So you changed your beliefs to match reality. It's a psychological term. Here's a proper definition of cognitive dissonance. Notice there is no internal conflict in beliefs. Cognitive dissonance refers to a situation involving conflicting attitudes, beliefs or behaviors. This produces a feeling of discomfort leading to an alteration in one of the attitudes, beliefs or behaviors to reduce the discomfort and restore balance etc.
  18. Your beliefs effect how you see life, so if you persist with those beliefs perhaps the effect your afterlife .
  19. I have set it earlier. Trump will be the most unifying divisive President. Pioneer we must live in different worlds since I find your perspective unrelated to my life experience
  20. Yeah being present and grateful are important
  21. Thanks Troy, but they passed away some years ago.
  22. Because most of the people in Tampa are retired from New York New Jersey and Conneticut. My parents moved there, and said they hadn't met any Floridians.
  23. Thanks for re-minding me.
  24. Should men shoot some cash to single mothers and service them. Since they seem to be raising more kids on their own than single Black men.
