  1. @Cynique mostly I ignore it. It's not that I'm passive I just choose to not be aggressive. It was an aberration and now back to radio silence. I think the current world situation is very heavy. My because your mind feels lighter your feet feel heavy. @Cynique mostly I ignore it. It's not that I'm passive I just choose to not be aggressive. It was an aberration and now back to radio silence.

  2. If you are new and you are condescending to everyone then it annoys me.

  4. @Stefan may feel that he hasn't initially insulted anyone. However being condescending by stating that you know more is insulting. Writing about subjects can lead to a greater understand. However that can't occur of you feel that you instantly understand matters. Perfect People, don't need correction, because they are perfect. People who think they are perfect don't receive correction. It's not that people haven't tried but they can't receive it. What you and Greg have done has been to foster black unity because his comments were insulting and yours were condescending.
  5. I am not a doctor but maybe you should see a nutritionist. Or perhaps a health care provider who is holistic.
  6. It's not true and everyone on the forum knows it , but he does not. Sometimes a person can neither take criticism nor perform self inspection.
  7. In the animal kingdom games are how animals learn to deal with the environment.
  8. From a racial pov it's about collectively dealing with the larger society and the restrictions it placed on people of colour. On the relationship side it's an issue of dominance. I would say it's a multifaceted problem.
  9. The Dozens. A Black game of supposedly friendly rivalry and name calling ; in reality, a crucial exercise in learning how to absorb verbal abuse without faltering Audre Lorde .
  10. Black women and men fight between ourselves over who has more of a right to freedom, instead of seeing each other's struggle as part of our own and vital to our common goals. Audre Lorde
  11. They are single-handedly dismantling the notion of White Supremacy.
  12. I will come back to this, I have to have the time and mental headspace. A day for a year and a day for a month are techniques in Astrology. Jesus being dad for the three days and rising. Hs a similar corollary with the Winter Solstice. Which start around Dec 22 the Sun appears to stop it downward movement and then rises. The Winter Solstice is the shortest day of the year. So the Son(Sun) is risen and is bringing the light to the world.
  13. Yes i understand that, I don't know enough to really debate the point you bring up. However I am straight no chaser.
  14. Thank you @Chevdove. I wonder if any of these comments will lead to self reflection for @Stefan.
  15. @Chevdove It's a one sided conversation. It's not worth the effort.
  16. Thanks @Troy I keep trying to tell @Stefan he is reading me wrong. He is a bit slow on the uptake, I think it will take him three months until he understands what we are saying. @Stefan I will give you a hint, I know Troy we have broken bread in each other's home, and we have hung out together. Ironically the people on the forum that you respect all respect me. What do you think that might mean. BTW you are a reporter you write articles. Which is not quite in the same league as a person who writes books. I never said that. When you realise you are wrong I will accept your apology. It will be like a Holiday present. We both have something to look forward to in the New Year. Ha Ha Ha.
  17. Suzan-Lori Parks was the first African American woman to receive the Pulitzer Prize in drama
  18. Another really good self assessment. Have you and Pioneer been comparing notes? Keep trying you may start a revolution, if you can find enough feeble minded people to follow you. You forgot to mention that you are condescending while being a bit ignorant about business. While talking to someone that didn't write about business but actually worked in Financial services and also went to school for business. You are in the minority of people on this site that believe you no more about business than myself. However perhaps the people that you respect can help you remove you rose mirrored glasses.
  19. I actually had a conversation with Suzan Lori Parks a winner of the McArthur Genius grant, a Pulitzer prize winner among other accolades. I was at the Judson Church listening to a playwright read his work. I was the only one laughing. She asked me if I was a writer. I said no but , this writing is out there. I also had the priviledge to hear Kelli Jones speak, she also later won a MacArthur Genius grant. She is the sister of Lisa Jones who colloborated with Spike Lee in his early days. The Jones girls are the daughters Leroi Jones aka Amiri Baraka and Hettie Jones In college, Parks studied fiction-writing under acclaimed writer James Baldwin. He encouraged her talent, calling Parks, “an utterly astounding and beautiful creature who may become one of the most valuable artists of our time.” He steered her toward writing plays, due to her tendency to act out all the voices when she read her short stories aloud. Parks graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Mount Holyoke in 1985.
  20. While it's unintentional, it is the best self assessment you have made on the forum.
  21. I don't feel the same. I whole heartedly agree.
  22. You make a lot of assumptions. Not all of them are right. What you fail to see and even know. The goal of a public corporation is to maximise profits. That is factual, this doesn't infer that is my position. If you would have read with a bit more thought you would have realised that in addition noone else hear could imagine me taking that position. Since most of the participants can comprehend and think critically.
  23. You seem to forget that you have done this as well.
  24. De Nada it is nothing
  25. It's okay I often neither read what he posts and rarely respond to his comments.
