@Pionee: What transcendered people think or believe has nothing to do with the title of a post i made about a lesbian giving a soulful rendition of a torch song. "Soul" refers to the emotion she imbued the song with; it was an adjective, not a noun - a play on words that apparently went over your head. @Prof D i'm not a spokesperson for the LGQB community but they could make the argument, that they are mutations of the human species, a third sex, if you will. They may be a form of population control because they cannot reproduce but they do exist and contribute to society because so many of them are aesthetically gifted. The Supreme Being makes plenty of mistakes. they are called monsters and are aborted by the womb.

Why can't they stand on that claim?? Your question makes no sense. Secondly, they don't have to answer for an opinion I expressed. The can maintain what they believe. .

No. You're making a non sequitir. Body and soul are not the same.

@what's his name: Since you are not the head nigga in charge, you don't call the shots. Me and white folks can use the word nigger any time we please What are you gonna do about it?

In trans people gender is independent of sex. It has something to do with how their brains are wired. They also believe they are trapped in the wrong body. Who are you to say they aren't. Live and let live.

One is physical , the other is mental. Sex has to do with your genitals; gender has to do with your masculine or feminine orientation.

@Jasmine Reed: You can weaponize words, and empower them. To a white person, the word "nigger" is like a bullet they can use to wound, frustrate and anger a black person. This puts the white person in a position of power and control because it dictates how a black person will react. The choice to use the slavery-tainted word remains to this day an option for white people and it has never lost its impact. . When the n-word and all of its variations is used among and between black folks, its implication is conveyed by the tone and inflection of the user's voice. And this dynamic is uniquely black. Most blacks want this multi-faceted word removed from black speech because of its painful history and the license it gives white people to use it. Others continue to use it in private conversation because there's just no substitute for it! Of this I am guilty. Or. has the younger generation shown any great inclination to eliminate it from its street slang. Should we use the N word? Well, maybe. As long as the n-word doesn't use us.

"She" doesn't want to say good-by to "her". Give 'em a break, Dave.

@ "Whomever" I am blocked by a firewall named Go Daddy from stating new posts here. I can just add to my old posts or comment on someone else's thread. My smart phone and my computer are hopelessly entangled because of me trying to register as myself on my smart phone so i could post from it, and then trying to unsuccessfully open another account under another screen name since i couldn't pull off the first procedure. It's like artificial intelligence is getting its revenge on me. Of course, it's possible that the Universe is trying to tell me something to the effect that it's best to keep my thoughts to myself. Might be a quantum physics message cluing me that all those posts I bypass don't exist because they are unobserved. Could even be I am being punished - or rewarded for divorcing my race. Or - maybe Troy simply got tired of my pictures and music videos. Who can blame him? Whatever. See ya when i see ya.

@Pioneer It's a mystery to me why you think i would prefer having you rather than my dog and cat laying around. or even being in your company under any circumstances. You've really convinced yourself and continue to try and convince everybody else that I have thing for you. All i can say is, I don't. But dry your tears. Maybe Farrakhan can get you a job selling bean pies.

@pioneerI I don't care whether you get the vaccine or not and all your conspiracy theory spin off drivel is to be expected. As I say, getting the shot is a personal choice, and nobody on either side has to justify what they decide to do. Maybe you can find another job, flipping burgers at MacDonalds.

@MzuriThis is 2021. Medical science has advanced. Their latest techniques compensate for what once required a longer trial period. In any case, one person's freedom ends where another one's begins. At some point, you make a decision as to whether or not you will be self indulgent, or embrace the common good. The covid virus can kill. Being vaccinated lessens the chances of dying from it. Being unvaccinated makes you a danger to others, and you have to live with the consequences of your choice. This is the response to the anti-vaxxer narrative. There is no definitive answer because there are experts on both sides, although the anti-vaxxers are a magnet for YouTube quacks. In any case, once a person makes up their mind to refuse the vaccine, they rarely change it, no matter what the science shows. These are those who are afflicted with the cognitive dissonance syndrome, not to mention the misinformation pitfall.

Why have vaccines become such an issue? They've never been 100 per cent safe, but they've always been required in many situations; schools, the military, foreign travel. I still have a vaccination scar on my arm that dates backt 80 years ago. Nobody asked what was in the small pox vaccinations, and i'm here to tell you that whatever was in them was worth the risk. i don't advise people one way or another about geting the shot, but it's unfortunate that it has become politicized. I took my time about getting the 2 shot Moderna vaccine and I'm in no hurry to get the booster one. Whatever This world is so jacked up I will soon be disowning the human race. Freedom ain't free. That's a hard lesson to learn.

Great sounds by great artists who me and my husband may have been checkin out back in our jazz clubbin days...the way we were. \

Prettty much what i tell my grandsons.

@ProfDI've always heard that Paul Mooney was gay, and that he and Richard had a "special" relationship. Mooney was on the writing staff of "In Living Color", one of my favorite comedy shows.

@ProfDDuring a traffic stop, does being addressed as "Officer" set the tone for what proceeds?

@Del&@Mel Hopkins So is this like... living in the moment and - becoming the moment, the moment being a set time determined by a marker of one's choice??? Was "Lucy" the movie about a female android in heat? 😍

@ProfDDo black people react differently to blacks cops than they do white ones?

@ProfD I've been meaning to as you: To what do you contribute the high rate of suicide among policemen?

@Mel Hopkins Scroll down and check out Del's post Time Markers or experiments with time. and see if you get what he is saying to explain to me.

I really miss "Game of Thrones", Black series like this and "Empire" don't have enough violence and sex. Ho Hum.

Yes, he was a black French West Indian and a favorite of the Black Panthers back in the 1960s. I considered posting John Coltrane's "My Favorites Things" for all the weed heads out there, but it runs so long.

So, - like i was about to say, Lori and Kim were waging a cat fight, both trying to justify their positions because they, along with the recently-appointed black Superintendent of Police are catching hell for their inability to do something about the out-of-control crime wave in Chicago. Kim is inflexible in her position of not overreacting to misdemeanors, believing petty criminals should be let back out the streets, and that bail should be low for what she believes are victims of a system that is unfair to young blacks. Lori says "screw dat", black-on-black-crime-requires a different perspective. The police chief just quotes figures showing the murder rate is down - compared to the higher rate the week before. Jesse Jackson was propped up long enough to take on the role of mediator and Kim an Lorie agreed to meet to further discuss the problem. Meanwhile, the white head of the Police Union, fresh from his KKK meeting, pled the case for his endangered boys in blue being a favorite target of the shooters. And the beat goes on. Car jackings, expressway drive-bys and personal beefs, too often taking their toll on unintended victims, many of them kids. It's awful. i feel sorry for all those poor Black Chicagoans living in fear of each other.

@ProfDI'm surprised you didn't pick up on the Frantz Fanon reference.
