  1. Where in Australia did you visit? Since like most countries there are regional differences. Did you meet mostly men?
  2. Have you been to Australia or met any Australians? It is profitable. The far right are armed and organised. Kyle Rittenhouse is going to be the litmus test for the far right and White Nationalists.
  3. You may have missed that police car with the search light on him that backed up.
  4. @Troy I no longer go out. However my feeling is that everything is more segregated.
  5. I feel the US is having several civil wars, the winners will decide the tone of the country. The Big Money remains entrenched.
  6. Troy I went to a movie premiere because I was friend's with one of the principals. I was in the Limo with his wife, his brother, his brother's girlfriend and his childhood friend. I was hanging out at at this afterhours club and was talking to a woman. She said she was a poet I said can i buy you a drink she said save your money I'm hanging out with trust fund kids. I hung out two to three nights a week from 1986 - 2000. A friend offer to introduce me to a Morgan when I was working on Wall Street. A guy I worked with in 1986 was the number 2 for Max Chapman I ran into him when I was temping around 1997, we had a bit of a chat. I broke bread with people who literally had millions of dollars more than i did, I didn't care about their wealth or their fame. Read what Nelson George had to say about New York night life. You and I clearly have different perspectives due to our experiences. don't mistake your world for The World.
  7. Thanks for your insight. I have personally seen that this is not true. In fact wealthy at time do this to have a dose of reality. https://www.crfashionbook.com/culture/a23784668/cr-muse-brigid-berlin-rejection-of-status/ Among these talents was Brigid Berlin, a photographer and painter who found herself after rejecting the upper class lifestyle she was born into. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/18/arts/brigid-berlin-dead.html This may have been somewhat true on Nancy Cunard heiress to the Cunard Cruise ship fortune http://cup.columbia.edu/book/nancy-cunard/9780231139380 Cunard was also a prolific poet, publisher, and translator and, after falling in love with a black American jazz pianist, became deeply committed to fighting for black rights. She edited the controversial anthology Negro, the first comprehensive study of the achievement and plight of blacks around the world. Her contributors included Langston Hughes, W. E. B. Du Bois, and Zora Neale Hurston, among scores of others.
  8. If you find a way to remove people's shackles and upset the game, you can be assured there are some bullets coming for you.
  9. There is the emotional and spiritual side. What straight Man is concerned about whether another man is Gay... I think the Lad doth protest too much.
  10. Nevermind @Pioneer1 I have made a mistake.
  11. Madonna is probably the closest to what Pioneer is talking about in terms of how a sexual partner is chosen vs a marriage partner.
  12. Why call it African American sexuality when it is just men commenting on what they find sexually attractive in women they haven't met?
  13. Your response has made my point. No further questions.
  14. Not everyone shares your perspective, and you disrespect people by crossing their boundaries.
  15. Pioneer so you would be okay with gay men coming on you at work?
  16. This illustrates my point I made earlier. Troy has put the time in , dug into his pocket to do the research. And the only response is that sister looks fine.
  17. When I say cost I don't just mean money. What I have found quite often is that people rarely appreciate something that is free. Libraries were funded by robber barrons, as were museums. So you can't get people to pay for things that would elevate them but they will pay handsomely for destruction. McDonald's pays for Ronald McDonald house by selling lots of burgers.
  18. Yeah you should read her Women Race and Class @Troy Her James Baldwin, and Audre Lorde are my favourite intellectuals about the state of being Black. What do you think of the discussion and the various perspectives. The cost to the originator outweighs the perceived benefits, otherwise it would have been done already.
  19. Yes I think there may not be much left to burn, but I have just been told that it has regenerated. I was looking for work and I asked the Tarot card where should I look. They said stay home it was the day before 9/11.
  20. Racism assists the ruling class to reap more profit. Angela Davis. about 50:00. Racism serves the ruling class.
