I don't believe in climate change because I did a statiscal analysis. But then , had to see what drives weather and the different ways of taking yempetature. That's an informed opinion. Adopting someone else's opinion without any critical thinking is not informed. Yet uninformed people will argue and ridicule me. Even after I make suggestions so they can see it is a fiction. Not one detractor made any effort to check any of said suggestions. So if don't argue or discuss it. Mel and Cynique are reporters. They have a position then check the validity of that statement. Even when i disagree I feel as though we cunderstand each other's point. If I disagree with you and Pioneer I don't gey that same sense. The difference though is you seem more open to changing your mind. Information to me is data that is rationally critiqued. Or compared snd contrasted. The only rational religious opinion is agnostic. A little thinking or a lot will reveal the verity of the aforementioned statement.

@Troy yeah stoke the fires. Books are one of the slowest ways to make money unless there's a movie deal.

There's a difference betwen having an opinion and an informed opinion.

I don't believe anyone has the right to make global judgements. Which is why I avoid jury duty. As a kid i was bullied by White kids. And until I had more positive experiences I was prejudiced. I remember Richard Pryor joking about the difference between Black and White people. And he said Italians were a bit different. I find judgemental people more likely to aligned with hatred and prejudice than open minded people. Thanks twin , thats why we're twins. Although Cynique saw it. And Pioneer derides it. This site is Troy's labour of love. Some of Troy's comments fall somewhere on the sexist scale. Although i dont think HE is a misogynist or hidden homosexual homophobe. I will mention a couple of instances that underly that knowing bit across the racial divide. Mel my big thing was I don't control you and you don't control me. A lot ofWomen not just Black Women can't manage that very well.

Both Farrakan and Obama are constrained by their roles. Neither are free agents.

Thank you Troy Mel and Cynique.

I would say there are more difference within than between the races.

Obama cried about kids getting shot. And he was callled weak

@Troy i have friends from across the globe. I have gone out with African, Dominican, European, Australian, Austrian and Nordic. I think you can ask the question in reverse. Why are Black women less intersted in a nerdy, thinking, democratic guy who likes to dance. I think about this because when i was younger i didn't like brothers who dated non Black. I think the main reason is that I am too laid back. Plus I'm idiosyncractic. I'm pretty democratic with looks and weight.there's got to be a vibe. People used ti ask me what is my type. My response was a woman with that indescribable thing. I went out with a dark skin sister that was 5'5" and 95 pounds and a light skin sister that was almost double that weight. I guess for me i used to pick women the same way i picked friends. Interest. When i was younger I was into clubbing and the artsy fartsy crowd. If i was in Atlanta i probably woyld have dated more sisters.

My mother asked me why i don't date more black women. A few years later it became how come you don't date American women. I am not certain you can say all Spanish women are fiery. Or that all White Women are passive. Tiger Woods ex wife is Nordic and she wasn't going for it.

Troy what statement have a made about Farrakan that gives you this.

No Pioneer you stated that Ballet is dancing for Whites. However I am retiring from dual monologues.

Pioneer violin is cool because You like it.

So is Farakkan playing the Violin for White Folks or Black Folks. In your mind how can you not question Farrakan playing classical violin?!?

@Troy you misread me. I am not saying he's a sellout because of the concerto. It just seems a bit inconsistent with his rhetoric. Pioneer was stating that black ballet performers wantes the approval pf whites. So i have been waiting to see what he has to say. Snoop lost his relevance whem he was raping inKaty Perry's candy land video. To me sellouts are profiting from Black misery and psychopathology. I found ot interesting how when rappers went to court they put on suits . A lot of rappers are sellouts. Because they are putting on an unconscious coon show for suburban white kids. Cats have twitter beef. Is that keeping it real.

@Pioneer1 Looking forward to your response.

In Deed. My ciriticsms were meant to be constructive. However I forget to say job well done.

@Pioneer has your opinion of Farrakan changed since he is playing the "opressors" music. Racism in this instance ia in the mind of the beholder.

It's not the stilt part of his name. Well a good man is hard to find and a hard man is good. Cynique woman may feel the same way about men watching porn. It can make you feel irrelevant or perhaps its mot feeling that you are the soul source of your partner's pleasure.

I guess most depends on who is doing the sampling.

His first name is all wrong.
