  1. Your comparing and activist to an intellectual. Activist do stuff intellectuals think about stuff. For what he does Sharpton needs to be in the media. Be was on couple episodes of Boston Legal as himself. Sharpton is unacceptable to the media because he is intelligent but street. Cornell West was in the Matrix and did the commentary. Does it matter if they court celebrity. What does that mean. Does it make than ineffective. Dont know. If it means they get a bigger cheque. Right on Baby. I would enjoy talking with both, but Al looks like more fun at a party. But that could be my own bias. Plus I love his James Brown story.
  2. Troy if the news isn't working try books or journals. Is Utne Reader still published.You may also like Grand Street. I go through periods of not being watching the news to reading a few papaeds
  3. I'm well Troy. The readings are going well. And the children are happy. Can you explain the power iw ignorance part. Cynique how is reading or watching the news informative. What is the benefit of being more informed. Or what is the befit of beinglwss informed. Other than having less knowledge or being more ignorant.
  4. All people are brainwashed. You still have Aryan ideal of blonde hair blues being the gold standard of beauty. He was also bisexual. When I said this to a white woman she said why was I dragging his name through the mud. I felt it added to him because it showed he was human and a humanitarian. There's a scene in Malcolm X. Where the feds are listening to a wiretap of Malcolm X, they say he's a saint compared to King.
  5. The market has spoken. Do young Black readers want a black newspaper?
  6. You have the public versus private issue. How much privacy should I public person expect. Troy - Would you pay to see a team sponsored and populated with Klansmen. When we buy we are voting with dollars. I do make a distinction between the entertainer and the person. Generally I ignore and artist personal life unless it is really odious to me. Corporal punishment is a tricky one. I think it depends. Some people respond to words, or actions. Within this some people respond to the carrot some to the stick. I think it is important that if you discipline your child that you not do it when you are angry. This is damaging to both the parent and the child. In sports you have an interesting dynamic. We applaud the alpha dog and testosterone. So weapplaud physical prowess and beating the other team. Howeveronce the games are over we expect the combatants to act normally. You have the same problem with soldiers returning from war. We applaud sociopathic behavior and then we punish it. Ray Rice is a symptom. The problem is society and we are the problem. I enjoy watching UFC for the martial aspect. However someone would say I'm supporting violence and they would have a valid point. I find it extremely difficult
  7. Cynique you are correct. I tend to hang back and see where people are. I don't challenge the person. But I will torture the idea. Troy what does emotional sensitivity mean to you. I'm not impatient, but I like clarity. For instance it used to annoy when people use science without understanding the science. However lately I'm feeling more lovely. So I'm not as interested in verbal or mental combat.
  8. Cynique I feel the same way except the last Prince song I really liked was Call my name. I hqve seen him do an after show which is where he really shines. They are more like a jam session. I was a mad Prince fan at one point I had about 50 albums, bootlegs, singles, concerts and outtakes. There a good documentary about Prince. It. Features ?uestlove, Eric Leeds, and Kwame who wrote a book about Prince. The best take was that he never wanted to be normal or ordinary. Which explains a lot. I think he's ki d of list his way musically and some of his opinions are pretty strange and not I'm a good way.
  9. Cynique so with psychics they may get that impression then there conscious mind takes over.
  10. Troy I would say you require expert opinion opposed to personal opinion before you change your mind. I also think you have an emotional sensitivity, but you may be a bit impatient and want it to develop quickly or in a direct or linear fashion. Cynique can you read me as well. I would say psychics get confused with you, because you have a strong masculine and feminine side.
  11. https://m.facebook.com/132498760126310/photos/a.135330436509809.11648.132498760126310/737418516300995/?type=1&refid=28&_ft_=qid.6025646281121995451%3Amf_story_key.-5255407821624694938&__tn__=E
  12. She seemed a bit annoyed. And he seemed a bit to casual. Despite her ranting she didn't seem like a racist. I agree with Cynique. He seemed like q director toying with a fly. He seems a bit professorial about the situation. Maybe they are old Maury Povich actors. Aomethings I don't miss about the US.
  13. You'll need birth times for both charts. Your rising is the ascendant. The house their Sun is in your chart, shows how you see them. The house their Part of Fortune is in your chart, shows you their role in your life.
  14. Troy - Your relationships seem to be mirroring your inner tension. Usually people don't notice because you mask it well.
  15. Troy what's your opinion on your reading from May 26. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/doppelganger
  16. There is no need to send people back anywhere. When you can control their mind. This transcends colour.
  17. A driver could be linked by correlation or causation. I am attempting to understand what you mean. How you would you define prejudice and preference. I like to start with definition unless what you mean is self evident.
  18. Troy would you say there is difference between prejudice and preference. You say it's an instinct and part human nature. Instincts aren't learned. I thought prejudices were learned behavior. What's your thoughts.
