  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. I have wonder whether Pioneer was Black as well.
  5. Nevermind @Pioneer1 I have made a mistake.
  6. Madonna is probably the closest to what Pioneer is talking about in terms of how a sexual partner is chosen vs a marriage partner.
  7. Why call it African American sexuality when it is just men commenting on what they find sexually attractive in women they haven't met?
  8. Your response has made my point. No further questions.
  9. Not everyone shares your perspective, and you disrespect people by crossing their boundaries.
  10. Pioneer so you would be okay with gay men coming on you at work?
  11. How is my comment creating problems?
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Racism assists the ruling class to reap more profit. Angela Davis. about 50:00. Racism serves the ruling class.
  17. I was working across the strret from the WTC the day of the first attempt, so you have a point. However I just wanted to make certain that you were aware of the weather. Yeah some of the storms were beautiful.
  18. I missed this post will check out the clip. This analysis is incredibly relevant to what is happening today especially politically
  19. Troy may the President will commute your sentence and set you free. Yeah I even saw the hour long episodes. Often is not quite the same as never.
  20. I had a look at the weather. It appears to be similar to NYC, except it is generally cloudy. And they have 3 tornadoes a year. LAst year there was record number of Tornadoes in Tornado Alley
  21. You can't fight an invisible enemy. Look at Slavery. House Slaves vs field slaves, Overseers are still not eating with massa. So on the plantation noone has an alliance, from Miss Anne down to Kizzie.
