  1. This is from back in the 30s.......... Some scenes clearly show the body doubles of both Oliver and Stanley together. What was it called back then before the age of "Artificial Intelligence"???
  2. aka Contradiction Actually, the "subject" of this thread was about Miss Black America. But you couldn't stick to that, I guess. It appears that some of these rich Black female athletes aren't interested in anything Black....not even their own hair.
  3. Del Lol....are you sure you posted that in the right thread?
  4. So why didn't you mention THEM as an "aphrodisiac"??? Why did you dwell on Italian men and Nordic blonde men??? When it came to White men, you give their various regional and ethnic differences respect: Italian, Nordic. When it came to Black men, you lumped us all together: Random Black guys When it came to White men you described one as "something else" and "powerful" and the other as "interesting". When it came to Black men guys (you don't give them the respect of calling them men) they were simply "comfortable to be around".......like a family pet.
  5. 🤔Was it me who said it..... Or did YOU say you used to get drunk and get on stage trying to sing and embarrassed yourself and others back during your "salad tossing" days????
  6. frankster Yes....One human Race Genetically... There is no "one human race" any more than there is one ice cream flavor. Genes can be traced back....Y-chromosome DNA and Mitochondrial DNA - passed on by Father and Mother respectively. I understand, but can they be traced back to their LOCATION OF ORIGIN? Humans are divided social politically geographically...these division were and are human doings. True They are also divided sexually and racially and religiously. Some divisions are natural, others are man made. The now current devision is about Power and Resource by various factions of humanity. As was the case through out most of human history. Race and racism is a socio-political ideology predicated on ethnic differences.. Some would argue that ethnic differences ARE racial differences too, since both ethnic and race come from the same Greek root word "ethnos". So is Sexism a socio-political ideology predicated on sexual differences.. Sex and ethnicity exist outside of isms. How so? Xenophobia is a form of ethnic hatred or prejudice. So is tribalism. All human beings are more similar to other humans beings than too any other existing living beings.....hence the Human race All ice cream is similar in that it's all cold and creamy. But it still comes in different flavors...lol. The social-political ideology of race races and racism was created to facilitate social power hierarchy exploitation and persecution. By constructing and enforcing an artificial divisions they can have a in group(included) and an out group(other, excluded). The divisions already existed, they didn't construct them. They exploited them. Associating with and categorizing yourself as belong to is two different thing Associating deals with relationship context and proximity Categorizing deals with shared qualities or similar characteristics for classification We do not pick our family members...we have little choice in the matter We do often pick our friends....we have more of a choice in the matter Facts. No.....not by Nature But as a result of Enforced Social Engineering and Political Manipulation. By nature as well. Those of the same race share the same phenotype, and will usually share the same preferences for tastes, smells, hair styles, foods, color coordination, etc... Black people around the planet tend to like spicier food than Whites regardless of the culture both are raised in. Black people around the planet tend to be more fertile than Whites regardless of the culture both are raised in. No....they should not take. That must be negotiate with your current relatives occupying the land. What about those BORN on the land? Does the White baby BORN on that land have the same rights as a Black baby BORN on that land, since...you claim...they're both "African"?
  7. aka Contradiction This is what you call "projecting". These are things that White women say (or used to say) about WHITE MEN back during the women's movement. In an attempt to be like your White female friends, you want to take those same negative attributes and attach them to a BLACK MAN. ....while hyping up the sexuality and masculinity of White men. I know you like to drink whiskey, smoke cheap ass Salem cigarettes, go bar hopping and making a fool of yourself on stage. I know THAT much about you....lol
  8. Who a person "prefers" and who a person sees as superior are often 2 different things. I know women who prefer to be with abusive unemployed men whom they claim "ain't shit" over educated men with good jobs because of how it makes THEM feel. But they still believe those men that they don't prefer ARE actually better than who they're with.
  9. I'm sure it doesn't make a difference to you. It has become increasingly clear that as a group: you have a much higher regard for White males than for Black males While you're right that beauty and other positive traits can be found among all racial groups; because of your position...you enhance and promote the positive traits of White males and disregard their negative ones, while doing the opposite for Black males.
  10. That being the case..... There are HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of Black Capitalists in the United States, each probably with net worths of over $5 million. What they CHOOSE to do with their capital is what makes a difference. If they CHOOSE to waste it in clothes, entertainment, and lawsuits that result from them engaging in juvenile behavior RATHER THAN investing their capital into not only the technology that already exists but into discovering even better technology for the future.....it's their choice. You had millions of bums, drug addicts, and losers living on the streets BEFORE the advent of AI and no doubt you're going to have millions of them for a time period AFTER.
  11. What of the great things about American style Capitalism is that you get to CONTROL the flow of your own goods and services. If you put out a movie....and don't get paid for it...don't put out another one until or unless you do. The same goes for music or any other product.
  12. But THAT would mean plenty of jobs for those who would learn how to master AI and make movies on their own without the permission of Hollywood. One of the beauties of Creativity is it allows you to see infinite positive possibilities from most situations.
  13. Lol...so what happened with the girl you liked? Did you two ever communicate after that incident?
  14. It's one thing to be bold. It's another thing to be obnoxious...lol. "Geez, those things are long! How do you wash your tootie with nails that long, honey?"
  15. When I'm out and about the society and look at whole GROUPS of dysfunctional people on the street, sometimes I think of what you said about dysfunctional people breeding with eachother and producing MORE dysfunction...lol.
  16. Yes. Nature provides examples. They serve as an incentive for you to NOT be like them and dysfunctional yourself. However to keep it real...... I think this society is making a lot of dysfunctional people far beyond the "normal" rate that may occur in nature.
  17. Sometimes even asking a person you barely know or don't know such a personal question will make you look like a bigger ass than assuming....lol. If a woman has nails like that....unless she has somebody wiping her ass for her....she's NOT cleaning properly.
  18. Sometimes I wonder if some people's purpose in this world is to serve as an example of who NOT to be and what NOT to do. Want to know what happens when you don't finish school? Look at THAT man sitting over there. That's his purpose. For children to look at as a reminder to get their education. Want to know what happens when you use drugs or join a gang? Look at your cousin or brother. That was this purpose. For somebody to look at so they wouldn't go down the same path.....so they didn't and ended up great. And perhaps the same can be applied to certain groups............ If you want an example of what happens when you don't take care of your snitches and sell-outs....look at THOSE people over there. If you want an example of what happens when you raise strong daughters and weak sons....look at THOSE people over there.
  19. frankster It is the same set of gene that is responsible for all phenotypic variation....the differences arise from how they are express and to what degree from on or off That is a great explanation for the reality OF race...lol. Those differences still exist, regardless of cause or reason. It is also back up by genetics. Oh? Do genes have a "return address" on them like mail where you can trace back the location of their origin? Humans If that's the cases then I have a statement and a question: 1. Humans are ALREADY divided, so "they" are wasting their time trying to invent something that has already been invented...lol 2. You said: They not only trying to label us.....but divide us My question is, who are the "they" you say are trying to divide humans? Are THEY humans too? Yes....they are exploiting this division Again, I'll await your response in reference to the "they" you speak of. The ideology of Races and Racism is a way of maintaining this division The reality of Race exists outside of ideology. Racism is merely the focus on race and the frequent weaponizing of it. Race exists outside of Racism....just like the reality of Sexual differences exist outside of Sexism. All peoples come from black African people. I think we've already covered that I don't believe that, so no sense in beating a dead horse...lol. One should accept that we are all of the human race but ethnically diverse. Why should one accept that human beings are a "race"? A race is a category OF a similar group. What other groups are similar to human beings that we can be considered a category as humanity? Yes...a purposely flawed misapplication to facilitate persecution of the weak Or simply another way of identifying people absence of malice. No....that is not entirely true People primarily come together around shared interests and values....age sex and color are culturally inculcated Your first associates aren't those you share interests and values with but are your FAMILY - lineage - RACE By nature you share interests and values with those WITH IN your race. Biologically Africa is the proverbial Garden of Eden making Africans Adam and Eve Not sure about Eve, but the word "Adam" has a specific meaning in Hebrew. Adam may have come from Africa, but Black people didn't come from an "Adam". The white South Africans are not Africans - "NOW".......they have always been Africans by descent They are not Africans because they were now born and bred on the continent of Africa.....but because they are descendants of Africans If you believe this to be the case, then perhaps you don't have a problem WITH these White Africans coming back "home" to take their rightful place on their ancestral African soil...lol. Perhaps Donald Trump has a point when he says stop persecuting the White South Africans! Maybe when they first started arriving hundreds of years ago, instead of seeing it as an occupation and invasion....the Zulus and other Africans should have had a Welcoming Home party for their long lost fellow White "African bretheren" ! "Whaddup fam! Where yall niggaz been??? You were gone for I don't know how long.... Now yall dressed up and acting like you don't know nobody, huh?"
  20. ProfD I asked a few women how they managed to take care of themselves with those fingernails that looked like talons. The women with claws told me it wasn't a problem in the bathroom. I could only take their word for it. ....and that's the problem. You could ONLY take their word for it...lol. I don't know why you even bother to ask them because you know you're not going to get the truth. It's not like any of them would ADMIT that they don't clean their ass as properly as they'd like...lol. They can barely count money at the cash register or handle a pen, so how are they going to properly wipe inside them folds and creases with nails that look like ram horns....lol.
  21. ProfD It got real at around 16 when n8gglets started using tools instead of throwing hands. Some were using them younger than that. I remember back in the early 80s some kids were bringing guns to school. Not many, but a few. Reads like an old fool. He had no business trying to fight. Should have been at the crib with his ole lady. He looked like he was in his 70s or maybe 80s. But in HIS mind he probably was in his 20s or 30s...lol.
  22. And our brother Demond Wilson died at 79.
  23. ProfD POTUS OJ sees her as an opportunist from as he calls it. Sometimes it takes an opportunist to know and recognize another opportunist...lol. However I think he just has a problem with smart Black women period, especially those who oppose and resist him. He couldn't even get along with Omarosa and had her escorted out of the building. That's assuming they have respect & appreciation for women in the 1st place. I have respect for women, however I've met men who did not and some who had vitriol. However I have yet to meet a heterosexual man who doesn't appreciate an attractive woman. They can CLAIM they don't all day long when they're talking to me, but as soon as one comes over and says something to him he starts grinning and eyes start shining...lol.
