Cynique

This is very cool and in keeping with the laid-backness of chilling, chuckling at a paranoid schizo like sara, thinking somebody is trying to "silence" her. LMAO. BABBLE ON.

YADA, YADA, YADA, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. Babble on. ROTFLOL

You're absolutely right. The bitch is going to chill.

Yep, the bitch is still here, and the sociopath sicko known as sara gets crazier by the day. LMAO.

"Her" as in sara, "Discombobulated" an in pathological, deluded, egocentric liar". SMH Yes, Troy, I know I said I wouldn't be back - until an intriguing subject came up, and - sara's desperate attempt to sanitize her persona was intriguing beyond belief! Trying to save face, crafting a travesty of lies and distortions, in denial about how she appeared on this board throwing her weight around, bragging about her book, and her position, later getting caught in lies, and corrected for errors,demonstrating her ageism psychosis, talking out of both sides of her mouth in unsuccessful attempts to disprove my snippets of personal history, clinging to sarafan, the figment of her imagination. I've never encountered such a devious, dishonest, disturbed creature. She should donate her brain to science when she croaks because she's like a throw back to the Neanderthals to whom sneaky slyness was a defense mechanism. Well, Troy, we'll try it again - . Help me, Jesus.

Because, Troy, you were in a position to establish parameters; to do what people won't do for themselves. As I said, it's difficult, for instance, to ignore someone who constantly attempts to discredit the episodes you have shared from your past. I'm not so sure others would be impressed with my ignoring this, and they could even interpret it as an indication that sara's accusations were true, when they weren't. (I guess besmirching my recollections is an example of sara being a person of "ideas". Just like she continuously hyped the idea that I never left the board, and then repeatedly posts the lyrics to "the bitch is back". if "the bitch never left" as sara crowed, why is she touting a song that says "the bitch is back"? Typical of how her discombobulated mind works. But I digress. LOL What precipitates the dissension between sara and me is clearly a personality clash. I am a contrarian and she is a pontificator. And never the twain shall meet. But out of respect to you, Troy, and because I'm bored with sara, I shall cease and desist. Time to return to my mountain top and contemplate the mysteries of the human psyche - until a subject that intrigues me comes up for discussion. OHHHMMMMM.

Oh shut up, Sara. If only you could see yourself as others do. You're so deluded about your impact; nothing you ever had to say was witty. It was just a bunch of repetitive drivel based on lies and your fixation on old women who dipped snuff. Just to show how little perception you have, Kola was not put on the defensive by me and she kicked my ass a bunch of times during our exchanges because, unlike you, she was razor sharp. The fact that you think I'm a bully is a testament to your being a wimp. It's pitiful that you're still orgasmic over sarafan because you're so needy for approval. LMAO I do agree, however, that battles between me and Kola were not sophisticated. They eventually got pretty down and dirty especially when she started to spam the board with obscene pictures, which at that time was unheard of. She was very computer smart and apparently had a lot of technical tools at her disposal. She was the first person I knew to use photo shopping. Or was I the only one feuding with Kola. She and Mzuri constantly went at it as did she and Shakespeare and others who would get into it with her from time. I also fell out with "a woman" and never got along with Carey but adored the witty, mischievous, LambD. The board was awash with a lot of warring factions and alliances. Kola even tried her best to generate a cyber romance with ABM who was an elusive prey. Kola was a diva, a drama queen and there was something amusing about her antics. I still regard her with a certain amount of affection. I would further contend that this cat fight between me and the "little pussy" is not an aberration. The Republican candidate for the President of the United States, Donald Trump, is a regular tweeter on Twitter, always going at it with somebody, as are many other high-profile politicians, including Hillary Clinton. Feuds between celebrities are rampant on Twitter. High school kids on FaceBook and Instagram and SnapChat are meeting up to settle their differences with guns and knives. Perverts are cat fishing lonely people, murdering them or stealing their life savings. Social Media is the enabler for all of this because it's extremely hard for people to ignore what others are publicly trashing them about. Plus, it's human nature to argue with those you disagree with when you have a public forum to defend what you are passionate about. The slam fest going on here is a microcosm of what is going on all over The Internet. I am not defending this insidious rivalry, just pointing out that it is a sign of the times. What I still don't understand is why you, Troy, who are the Web Master, the Administrator, the owner of this domain, and apparently the victim of a situation which you say discourages traffic to this site, would not step up and put an end to the bickering! I've never understood your reluctance to do this. Or do I understand why people don't skip over what they don't want to read about on a thread.

When I say "token" I mean a black person who has been selected and promoted by a particular white institution to show case, and stave off any criticism about it being racist. Next year's Oscars will probably have an overload of talented black actors who could be referred to as tokens because they represent an effort to rebut criticism of Hollywood being racist. I guess this is a term that is a throw back to civil rights days when integration was a big deal and every industry had its super negro to trot out, lest it be accused of being prejudiced.

Would you say that Coates is a token? There's seems to be a tradition of a black writer who is singled out to become the darling of the white literati. He's reminiscent of James Baldwin.

Oscar Brown is a "favorite son" of Chicago. He was in the vanguard of black theater here..

. "Loser".

Much to your dismay, the bitch is back. You thought you had a shot at making your mark here once I left, so you rescinded your promise to exit when "Celestial Greatness" trashed you and your Seminole saga, leaving you and your paranoia to cry about Troy siccing people on you. You spineless asshole. Yes "The Lurker formerly known as Cynique" is still dropping in, and "the wannabe known as sara" is still skulking around, hoping and wishing... LMAO.

Just like you can't stop gettin your jollies from diggin up my old posts living vicariously through the interesting life that makes up for the dreary existence that spawned a bug-infested weed like you. To wanna be you would be to sentence myself to a boring lonely life.

Give it up, sara. You aint cuttin it. LOL

LOL I know it goes against your true nature, but admit you're lying. You got misled. You know you peed on yourself, so excited over the idea that you wouldn't have to worry about me exposing you as the one-dimensional twit that you are. I'm trying to stop the harassment but you're such a perfect target. There's so much about you to ridicule. BTW, you urine was very foul smelling, Not surprising.

Like who doesn't know that. If you didn't hate yourself you wouldn't be a lesbo and if you didn't hate your mother you wouldn't be so contemptuous of snuff-dippin old women. Not to mention that you and your evil self are a poster girl for why black men don't like black women

It's obvious to people who stay on point that there's a difference between plagiarism, and fiction being passed off as fact. Alex, himself, admitted that he was simply trying to provide black people with folk lore, so a lot of things in Roots were made up.

You obviously don't watch Game of Thrones. The only advanced weapons on it are fire breathing dragons. And there is no attempt to hide how barbaric European-like people were back then. The series is based upon myth; kinda like the history of all cultures.

It's entertaining to me because it's good escapism. It's also about the eternal quest for power and man's inhumanity to man. It's well-produced, has intelligent dialogue and not that different from the TV series Empire.

Until Playboy came along, National Geographic Magazine filled the void with pictures of bare-chested African women always gracing their pages. Are you, like Chris Burns and me, a "Game of Thrones" fan? There's plenty of what you're looking for in this series.

You can always watch "Coming to America" starring Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall. LOL

Of course, what I failed to mention is that there are others categories besides the either/or "educated" and "intelligent" ones with all of their variations. Some people are neither. They're just dumb. They let others do their thinking for them. This is why Donald Trump has such a large following.

On May 17th Pioneer said: "Cynique I'm suprised you don't have a degree. You took me as a well LETTERED woman. Especially having written columns for news papers. But then again..... As many of those older than me have told me for years, the education students received in highschool and even junior high back before the 60s was often superior to what they're getting in most colleges today." __________________________________________________________________________________________________ This is true. That's how I got hired to write a column for a newspaper. The editor who took me on, in addition to liking the letters I wrote to the paper's OpEd page, was impressed with the schools I had attended, knowing their highly-regarded reputations. Also, I typified the zeitgeist of my era. Back then, plenty of people dropped out of college after a couple of years, moving on to the promising jobs that were available without a college degree. A lot of guys joined the military. Many women left school to get married. My becoming engaged was a factor in my not returning to college, along with the fact that I was tired of the regimentation of school, tired of writing term papers, and cramming for exams and taking notes in lecture halls and regurgitating what my professors fed me. When I saw a chance for a new challenge I took it, like great numbers of my peers. "Educated" people who can't think past their nose don't view this situation as critical thinkers, too ignorant, for instance, to realize that a huge organization like the Post Office is maintained by a variety of departments employing a broad range of workers whose duties don't consist of slinging mail bags. But an "intelligent" person like you, is able to put things in perspective and broadens his scope of knowledge by making inquiries.

Well, I might be a little psychic because when I engage with a person for any length on line, their true persona begins to transcend their words as I read between the lines. I just pick up on certain things, that are said or that aren't said. People give themselves away and don't know it. Their style of expressing themselves takes on an attitude. The only thing anybody from this forum might be surprised about upon meeting me is my demeanor, Although 82, I am neither feeble nor sedate. And I have, after all, shared a lot of my personal philosophy as well as my life history on this board (much to the indignation of Sara who inadvertently revealed a lot about herself in her posts). My cyber personality would be different only in that I would bite my tongue a little more in person because I don't want anybody to go upside my head. People often tell me that I write just like I talk and I think I do because I write in a conversational tone. Contrary to what some might hope, deep down inside I am not really a sweeet person. Troy was exactly as I expected him to be. He and I have often clashed about things so I know both his mild and aggressive side. I know his pet peeves and his passions. And we fell into an easy conversation right away, quickly finding things to snicker about. I found it amusing that he kept saying I looked just like my picture. How about that? Troy and I didn't spend any more than about 10 minutes together because since there was no controversial topic to discuss, we pretty much said everything the moment called for. After meeting and greeting and bidding our fond farewells, me and my daughter split because we were in "Chiraq" after dark and didn't want to get caught in any crossfire. LOL. We even took an alternate route home because the expressway we usually take has had 12 drive-by shootings in the past 2 months. So we hopped into the Range Rover and got the hell outta Dodge. Mission accomplished. I met my good buddy, Troy Johnson, in person.
