  1. Not everyone shares your perspective, and you disrespect people by crossing their boundaries.
  2. Pioneer so you would be okay with gay men coming on you at work?
  3. How is my comment creating problems?
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Racism assists the ruling class to reap more profit. Angela Davis. about 50:00. Racism serves the ruling class.
  9. 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.
  10. I missed this post will check out the clip. This analysis is incredibly relevant to what is happening today especially politically
  11. 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.
  12. 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
  13. 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.
  14. Which is why the class war is the only real war.
  15. As a teenager I was able to by Lucy's and Old English 800. Without id. There where numbers shops. And this Mafia cat owned a little store. That had gambling in the back. I even remember a place with pinball machines that had a functioning slot machine.
  16. Some Ancient Greek philosopher made a living creating weapons. It's was an still lucrative. Archimedes
  17. The matriarchal system is older than slavery, but it's used to justify slavery in the Usyis relatively new. My guess is that you can say the concept of race and racism coincides with the "discovery" of the Americas.
  18. In Rome Slave could become citizens. The US use Matriarchal lineage, so that any slaves born of a slave were also Slaves. I believe that was unique to US's system of slavery.
  19. Is that the case in every place that has Slavery.
  20. The Answer is Slavery, Slavery goes back a long ways. However the American Slave trade create the concept of White Superiority to justify slavery. So in the South you have White Women being the ideal and being seen as chaste. With Black Men being seen as sexual brutes, and Black women being temptresses. However that falls apart because White Plantation owners were raping Black Women and selling their own offspring. So you have a situation where Black Men can't protect their women, Black women are seen as sexually loose, and White women having to reconcile their perceived status with the reality.
  21. Nice one Prosecutor Johnson
