  1. frankster They are both African( of what would be call the black race)...obviously one is black skinned and the other is white skinned Well there are atleast 2 definitions of the word "African"..... One (that you probably won't accept) is the RACIAL definition which identifies those with dark skin and kinky hair who come from or who's ancestors come from sub-Saharan Africa Commonly refered to as "Black" or "Negro". The second definition is ANYONE of ANY RACE who was born on the continent whether they be Black, White, Arab, Berber, ect... When you say the blonde woman in that picture is an "African" do you mean she's a "White" woman born in some African country or do you mean she's an albina from two Black parents? Yes indeed Ethnicity is about Culture....Culture is History and Traditions - Heritage. Diet does affect Skin color..... Myth or Fact: Eating too many carrots can turn your skin orange. The surprising truth is that, yes, eating too many carrots can change the color of your skin. “Carrots can, in fact, cause an orangish yellow skin pigmentation,” says Dr. Lady Dy, a dermatologist with Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, Ill. “It’s called carotenemia and is often most noticeable on thick skin like palms of your hands or the soles of your feet.” The orangish yellow discoloration is a result of excess beta-carotene in the blood from consuming foods like carrots, says Dr. Dy. Other foods that can cause the orangish yellow pigmentation include squash, sweet potatoes, cantaloupe and even dried apricots. All these foods are also high in beta-carotene. The good news – it’s not toxic and doesn’t cause any other health issues aside from the slight discoloration. “The skin discoloration is temporary and completely reverses once you change your dietary habits,” says Dr. Dy. https://www.ahchealthenews.com/2021/10/29/can-eating-certain-foods-change-color-skin/ Ok....???? I don't dispute what you're saying in THIS context. But it's talking about TEMPORARY changes in a human's skin color do to medical issues, not GENETIC changes that people are BORN with. Hell, TATOOS affect your skin color too...but they don't change your race, lol A member of the Caucasian race and African race can eat the exact same foods for a lifetime and their skin color and hair texture will not change or become similar, would you not agree? On a genetic level all humans share 99% of the same genes...The point is we are more alike than we differ 1% difference is not enough to explain the White/caucasian race. What you're talking about is BESIDE the point. You're FOCUSING on the similarities and trying to make the differences "irrelevant". But the differences exist none the less no matter how small of a percentage they are. There is less than 10% difference between men and women...but the difference between a male body and female body are HUGE ENOUGH. Infact, they are so huge that women need their own doctors and medicine for their own needs separate from men! I'd argue that AfroAmericans need OUR own specialist doctors and hospitals because OUR bodies and dietary needs tend to be different than Whites and other races. I concur....that he was from Khem And What color was the ancient Egyptians(Khemet)? They were a mixture of black and dark brown in skin tone. If "Not every Caucasian is White in color." Therefore White people do not exist - except as a social construct .....but caucasians do as an Ethnicity. First of all, you're contradicting yourself to say they don't exist EXCEPT as a "such and such". Either they exist or they don't. White people/Caucasians clearly exist and have been ruling much of the world for over 500 years....whether you want to call them a "social construct" or not. Infact, social constructs EXIST. .....just like a building is a constructed. That which is CONSTRUCTED........EXISTS, therefor it is real. Second, yes...Caucasian is also an ethnicity too because in Russia members of various "minority" tribes from the Caucasus mountains like Chechnya are also called "Caucasians"...lol. What evidence do you have that a Black man could be president prior to Obama? Some scholars say we HAD Black Presidents in the United States already, but I'm not gonna argue it one way or the other. A more direct answer to your question is that the Constitution DID NOT PREVENT IT. As long as you're a 35 years or older born citizen with no felonies, you "could" run for and become President. Race or sex isn't a factor. ...So far the Paradigm or Pattern is only Men can be President No, the paradigm is that men ONLY HAVE been President, not ONLY CAN be President. We can have a female President too. And probably will. I would argue that as President he has much more power than the average US citizen/national....not an absolute ruler Then you'd be arguing by yourself then....lol. I don't know of anyone who disagrees with this. I am beginning to realize that ....but it's fun so I will indulge. ....as if either one of you have presented ABSOLUTE PROOF of your "only one race exists" position. Just because you two DENY the obvious so strongly, doesn't make it a fact. Then go ahead...I will be learning something new You won't learn it if you don't accept it. I can present all of the evidence and proof in the world, but if your mind is set on "there is only one race" and refuse to believe multiple races exist...you'll either try to discredit that proof or just find something else to counter it. I've presented Troy with both evidence and proof and like a squirrel he's ducked and dodged and bounced around my presentations and outright ignored them to stick to his position. So I've given up on trying to convince him, lol But for you......... Here are excerpts from an article from the New England Journal of Medicine which we can all agree is a SCIENTIFIC BASED publication. It's a well known journal quoted and respected by most doctors and scientists.: Here's a scientific journal that CLEARLY acknowledges that not only do different races exist, but identifies those races as well. And I can provide many many more if this one is not enough....but it should be because it's clear PROOF. Usually you don't need "proofs" (plural) to support and argument....you only need proof (singular). The real question is will you accept this, and move on.....or do like Troy and either ignore it or read the entire article 50 times and look for holes to poke in it or just find another article that declares race a "social construct".
  2. After careful observation over the years, I'm convinced that there are two major causes of pain in the AfroAmerican community due to racism: 1. The first is the pain caused by DIRECT injury from racism. -A violent act by the racists. -Financial harm caused by racism in employmente and business -Legal harm caused by incarceration or losing law suits for racist reasons whether it's from the judge, jury, or prosecutors 2. The second pain which is less talked and actually less known is the pain caused by REJECTION of White people -Having one's ideas not taken seriously by Whites at work, at school, or in society -Not having one's authority respected by Whites whether at work, at school, as a police officer, judge, ect...and constantly being "over ruled" by Whites in the same or higher position -Jokes not being seen as funny by White colleagues -Not being seen as attractive (or atleast they won't ADMIT they find you attractive) by Whites WE may find attractive The 2nd cause is more insidious because as I said before, it's less known and understood by most Black people even though most of us have experienced it so much in our lives living in this society. If we examine the REASON for the 2nd cause, we'll find out that the pain actually comes from so many of us SEEKING validation from White people to begin with. It's the view or belief...either consciously or subconsciously...that they actually are superior and are the judge and arbiter of what is "acceptable" or "unacceptable" in this society that drives this desire to please them and be accepted by them and have our ideas accepted by them.....which in turn leads to so much anger, depression, and frustration if they aren't. I personally make it a POINT to show White people whether at work or in society in general how much I DON'T care about their approval, what they think of me, or my ideas and that I have my OWN agenda and plans for whatever occasion....lol.
  3. That's why I said the theory of human evolution is a RACIST theory that shouldn't be accepted by ANY Black person with good sense. Caucasians came up with that theory after society became less religious and that "curse of Ham" nonsense failed. So they had to come up with another LIE to continue to categorize Black people as inferior so Darwin and the other racists developed the human evolution theory that calls OUR people the "missing link" between the apes and White folks....lol. Also.... If we know that Caucasians have a history of lying and not accepting the truth and proof of our greatness and discoveries, why get so offended and outraged when one or most of them continue to do it today? I've come to accept this about them, so it doesn't bother me one bit. I really don't waste time arguing with them.....I spend more time arguing with other Black people whom are more likely to accept the TRUTH about our history, lol. White folks ALREADY know it....they just don't want to accept it.
  4. I think most of this has happened within the past ten years or so, especially after the so-called "Great Recession" when so many people....especially Black people....had their homes taken away from them. That, along with the growing supply of heroin flooding the streets since the invasion of Afghanistan 20 years ago. Homelessness has exploded in every big city in this nation.
  5. Not sure, but I've been hearing a lot of Black people talk about and Black women calling themselves Mermaids lately.....especially younger people. I wonder if it's just a new fad or some sort of sexual reference that I haven't caught on to yet.
  6. Troy Science ACKNOWLEDGES the existence of multiple races. And I can prove it beyond any REASONABLE doubt.
  7. frankster You said the following in bold type....please note the use of the personal pronoun "I" From this"I see more value in it" to this I'm saying I PERSONALLY don't find it valuable to me"....Your sophistry will only deceive yourself. Let me SEE if I can break this down to you as simply as I can... I'm not a smoker I don't smoke cigarettes. I don't find cigarettes valuable TO ME. But because there are MILLIONS if not BILLIONS of people who do smoke cigarettes...I can see the value IN THEM. VALUABLE TO ME focuses on myself and how the object relates to me Where as VALUE IN focuses on the object and how other OTHER than myself may see value in it. Do you NOW understand how those two statements can overlap yet be different from eachother???? Truth remains true whether you accept it or not....Universal and impersonal Correct. But you can still choose to accept it or reject it based on which one you PREFER to do. You can either be FORCED to accept the truth or PREFER to accept it. Usually only If used improperly. Name One? I'll go back to my cigarette analogy. They are harmful, yet valuable and people desperately want them. My heart is with me always and my heart is me.....easy Not THAT easy....lol....because your heart ISN'T you. It's merely a PART OF you. If your heart WAS you...then your brain and liver could be removed and it wouldn't affect you in anyway because they aren't you, only your heart. No, your heart is PART of you. That's a mathematical fact.
  8. And sadly too many Black people would rather TRY to pretend that racism is no obstacle or doesn't even exist rather than accept that it does and deal with it. While conventional wisdom will say this comes from centuries of being trained and brainwashed into not seeing the racism that exists before us, I have a more simple yet more diabolical explanation....... Many AfroAmericans simply DO NOT CARE about racism and how evil and widespread it is, as long as THEY don't feel THEY are personally being affected. Like one of the other posters who came on here trying to rally support from this site for their own personal cause. I'd be willing to bet 10 bits against a bucket of shit that the term "Institutional Racism" hasn't been uttered from their lips in 20 years and they could have given two fucks about what other Black people were going through from George Floyed to the janitor in the building they were working in.....as far as they are concerned it was "someone else's problem". Or not even a problem at all. Until THEY met some resistance or caught a mean look from a White person....then all of a sudden EVERYBODY is racist and we need to bring the whole system down, lol. Like I said about the poor......... In the United States, most poor people are in the condition they are because of THEMSELVES. Not because they didn't work hard enough, invest smart enough, or save enough money.....but because they didn't unite with other poor people and DEMAND more money and benefits from the richest nation in the world. Kanye said 400 years of slavery was a choice. Man...... There was another person who said people get the leaders they deserve. While neither statement is 100% true, there's a lot of WISDOM in these words if we'd just understand.
  9. Did I say you threw an emotional tantrum? As far as a better tactic...... Unless it's outright offensive and racist (not covertly or subliminally because that's gonna be MOST White folks...lol) I'd say let Michel or any other White person say what they like and either counter it with more facts or just ignore it. Like I said, this is a Black site and we CLEARLY are in power here. Unless the "powers that be" on the internet decide to shut this site down....no White person can or will control the conversation up in here. Also like I said earlier, we need to take a page out of their play book and not even MENTION race at all. Let them tell it, if they criticize you it'll be about everything BUT your race.....lol. We know that most White scholars reject Ivan Van Sertima's work for racist reasons regardless of the mountains of evidence he's presented both in his academic works as well as his speeches and presentations. But they don't SAY it. They just DO it. Just like the Critical Race Theory fiasco and how Black folks are running around crying and pointing the fingers as White teachers and professors accusing them of being racist and not wanting the truth told about America. Hell nigga JUST TEACH IT. No need to ask White folks for permission or accuse them of being racist and hateful. You already know that....so take action and teach the TRUTH about history.
  10. Troy There are now 5 or 6 apartment buildings taller than the empire state building in NYC -- when I was a kid that was the tallest building on the planet. I thought after 9/11 (which was over 20 years ago...hard to believe) they CLAIMED they weren't gonna build any more sky scrapers....lol. But I'm curious.......... You said the Empire building was the tallest building on the planet when you were a kid. Wasn't the Twin Towers around then? And I'm not sure but I thought the Sears Tower in Chicago was around then too. All three of those buildings were around in the early 70s if not late 60s.
  11. Coggins That doesn’t seem like confusion to me. It makes good sense to copy the right cat and not want crime rampant in ones community. Well for one thing, TRUMP HIMSELF is one of the reasons crime is so high in the United States right now and has been since the Summer of 2020. He and his Justice Department decided to let many of the most violent offenders out of prisons and jails during the Pandemic instead of most of the non-violent offenders which would have made more sense. And when he let them out, they went STRAIGHT back to their communities to raise more hell and havoc. Now you have little children being shot and killed left and right in America on a daily basis where as before Trump it was happening less than once a week. Typical of Republicans. Every time a Republican gets in office crime shoots up (no pun intended) sky high! THEY RAISE THE CRIME RATE to justify locking more people up and turning the inner cities into police states.
  12. FACTS Whether the groupings were based on religion, political affiliation, or militant Black empowerment....one of the main problems was their desire to fight with and harm other AfroAmericans who didn't see eye-to-eye with them. It seems that a lot of our people enjoy fighting with eachother more than they enjoy fighting racism...and this was the case even the 50s and 60s. Infact a lot of street gangs that exist today who see eachother as mortal enemies originally started off a clubs formed by young men to protect themselves and their neighborhoods from racist violence from Whites. But as often is the case, once they ran the White folks away....they turned on eachother.
  13. Troy Hey Michel...ignore the next couple of sentence will ya....lol. Validation??? NIGGA PLEASE....I haven't even validated the BLACK FOLKS who've been up on this site for years, let alone other folks who just popped up in the past few months...lol. I can only validate MYSELF because I know me, can't speak for some of these other jokers running around here....lol. My words in defense of Michel is hardly "validation"....just like your observation of them is hardly an attack based on being "mad". It's simply putting things in perspective. But in reality, it's actually not about Michel or any other White person or White people in general so much as it's about US and how we conduct ourselves even when WE are clearly in power. We....collectively....need to learn HOW to properly combat what we perceive to be racism in a more effective manner and like I said, throwing emotional tantrums isn't the way to go.
  14. Michel Montvert I think you're giving the rightwing working-class whites FAR too much credit as thinkers. They are not willingly sacrificing themselves to anything. They think that their problems are all caused by exterior forces (never the actual oppressor who is screwing them). They are NOT aware that their situation is enabled by anti-black racism. That's the issue. As I've gotten older, have lived around the nation, and gotten to engage with a lot of poor and working class Whites as well as having done research on racial relations in the past in the United States..I DON'T BELIEVE they actually believe this. I think it a CONVENIENT EXCUSE they use to cover up their NATURAL anti-Black feelings. They may be poor and uneducated but most of them aren't stupid. They know better. They KNOW that the jobs in their towns were removed by wealthy White business owners who left them high and dry; and they know Black people did take those jobs. Yet they still fly Confederate flags and listen to country music up in Minnesota....lol. The racism is one of the primary means by which they are conned into supporting their oppressor. Lol...they aren't being "conned". Your apologizing for them won't save them. These people know EXACTLY what they're doing and what they feel and why they feel the way they feel. The only con is THEM trying to hide it as best they can to keep a job or position. "Father....DON'T forgive these devils. For they know EXACTLY what they're doing!" It is not conscious!!! They are full of FEAR! Fear of what? Certainly not the Blacks or Browns they hate because most of them don't have the power to imprison them or keep them unemployed...so what "fear" are they using as an excuse for their hatred??? Most of them live in communities where they never even MET a Black person so they certain haven't been victimized. The only "fear" they have is the same "fear for their life" routine a racist cop uses to kill an unarmed Black citizen. No....the jig is up. We can no longer accept them "being afraid" as a justification for their HATRED. The folks in WV who correctly identify the COAL company as the problem... well those are the Democrats. Union people. True. But even in the Unions...and I've been in them...you have a core element of racist poor and working class White men who hate Liberals and Progressives and love Trump and Reagan. I've met them. Their hatred override their own self-preservation. Like worker bees or ants...they will sacrifice their own lives for the "hive" which is the system.
  15. I didn't say it in this thread...YET....but since you brought it up, that's EXACTLY what I've been saying for the past few years. That AfroAmericans need to separate themselves into smaller more exclusive groups with similar values and seek progress and success through THOSE groups instead of one big community. Too many of us are on different pages to try to unite as one people. And to be honest with you, I don't know if I want to unite with a large percentage of AfroAmericans at this point because too many have become immoral and criminal minded to build any type of meaningful relationship toward success with. Some of these clowns would only hold back progress. Let 'em go and let's move on.
  16. Also according to code you're not supposed to directly call a White person a racist UNLESS they identify themselves as one.....lol. We can and should suspect every White person we meet of being a racist and don't let your guard down UNLESS they prove beyond a shadow of doubt TO YOU that they aren't. But that doesn't mean you go around with your eyes closed shouting and stammering out: "You're a racist....you....you....RACIST!" Every time a White person makes you mad, lol. That's not civil and it makes you look childish. It's also very poor strategy when actually dealing with racism. If the White person IS a racist....will telling them this and accusing them of it get you what you want? I'm certainly not accusing anyone on this site of this but I DO see it a lot in U.S. society. While REAL racism is running rampant and they're poisoning water systems and indoctrinating children with all types of foolishness....this nigga is calling some White man a racist because he won't let him borrow his cigarette lighter to smoke a Newport. Or because some White woman at Walmart won't let her return her clothes and get a refund without a store receipt.....lol....NOW the cashier is a "racist". Stupid shit. If you KNOW that a White person is a racist....learn how to COUNTER it with affirmative action. Throwing temper tantrums isn't a viable solution in my opinion. As far as Michel goes...... Or any other White person for that matter whether we agree or disagree with them..... This is a Black site and we are CLEARLY in power. Troy has this thing on lock. There are atleast a dozen intelligent Black folks up in here getting busy. We need to ACT like the master of our own home and show some restraint and decorum. Really, we should take a lesson from THEIR play book and don't even bring up their race unless THEY want to talk about it.
  17. frankster What race/races do the above individuals belong to? When you put them next to each other it's hard to tell because they actually look like the SAME girl but fixed to appear either Black or vise versa. If they're not the same, the pale one looks like an albina and I can't tell her actual race. Ethnicity has to do with Culture, Environment and diet....and in most cases Skin color and appearance(phenotype) You mixing apples and oranges. Ethnicity is about CULTURE...that's it's primary concern. The only time skin color comes into play is when you're talking about different ethnicities within the SAME RACE. What percentage of ethnic groups are of the same race vs how many are multi-racial...that's a different argument all together. However ethnicity is about CULTURE...not COLOR. As Humans we all share the same or almost identical genes, the differences occur along the continuum of those that are Dominant and those that are Expressed ALMOST is the key word. Hell, according to most scientists humans and monkeys share over 90% of the same genes too. But we're clearly not the same. Just because human's share similar DNA...there's enough DNA that we DON'T share with each other that makes huge differences between us. The study of Epigenetics has demonstrated how Culture, Environment and Diet influence and change(turn on/off) Gene Expression especially in terms of Phenotype. But not in racial allele/traits. Those remain constant regardless of diet. A Black man won't turn White no matter how much German culture he adopts...and nor will his children or grandchildren if they continue to mate with other Black people. The only time the race of his offspring will change is if they mate with a person of another race. Hence the reason I used the term Hebrew/Jew.....pick your nomenclature. What was Miriam Hebrew or Israelite or Jew? If the story of her in the Bible is true...she was the same as Moses, both a Hebrew and Israelite. However I don't believe the story. If as you say Moses wasn't a Jew...what was Moses ? - Hebrew or Israelite or other? As I said before, I don't believe the Biblical story of Moses. I believe the REAL or historic Moses was a Hebrew from Kemet (ancient Egypt) but not an Israelite. The Hebrews were of what Race in your opinion..? The Hebrews were (and still are) of the African race. What in your Opinion is the difference between White and Caucasian? White is a color that very few people actually have, especially if they're living. It's not a very accurate description. Caucasian is much more accurate because it identities the race of people decended from those of the Caucasus mountains of that same gene. Not every Caucasian is White in color. Some of them are tan and quite swarthy for various reasons, but the majority of their genes and ancestry is of that racial background. Paradigm means pattern...and before Obama the paradigm was only white men were President But see, that's not what you said at first! You changed words. Perhaps the paradigm was that only White men WERE President, but not necessarily that only White men COULD BE President. You said the paradigm before Obama was that only White men CAN be...which was false because he wouldn't have been allowed to run if that were the case. The US President is The Chief Executive Officer of the USA also is Head of State and Head of Government of the USA....That's Real Power - not a figurehead. I said the President has LITTLE POWER to change the course of things in the United States. I didn't say he didn't have ANY power. He has some, but not enough to be considered a "ruler". There are checks and balances to his powers in the form of Congress and the so-called "Supreme" Court. Responsibility Denotes Control or being in Charge of....Congress is in turn limited by the President's Veto Powers... Actually "responsibility" simply means the ABILITY TO RESPOND. IT doesn't mean you're in control or have enough power to be effective; it simple means you are able to give a response.
  18. Michel Montvert But as I've pointed out before..... When it comes to the poverty of rural areas like Kansas or West Virginia and wide swaths of Middle America where half the population is hooked on meth and have no teeth in their mouth and over 90% of them are White.....most of them WANT to be in that condition. Maybe "want" isn't the best word to use but they ACCEPT their position as the "grunts" of the system. They are what are called "White Sacrifices" that are being used as pawns to keep going. Cheap and handy labor to keep the system operating. They also stand as a cushion between the masses of Black and other people of color who are poor, oppressed, and angry and they act as a buffer to keep the wealthier classes protected "just in case". They KNOW they are being exploited and mistreated but unlike most Black people they are WILLING sacrifices. In West Virginia a lot of the poor Whites who worked in those coal mines KNEW that it would fuck up their lungs and that they were being exploited by wealthy mine owners and investor....but they labored on working their asses off with the excuse of "feeding their families".....until they got sick and dropped dead. They were WILLING pawns in the game of what they believed was "White Supremacy".....the System. You find these type all over the country keeping things operating at the expense of their own bodies and health. They'll work hard all day long and sit around at night with no teeth in their mouths smoking and drinking until they drop dead....and do it WILLINGLY to keep the System going strong. "Here's to repealing Obamacare and the rest of that socialist garbage! Real men don't give a FUCK about their health or teeth! Real men don't need helmets when they ride motor cycles! And real men ain't gonna walk around with a damn face diaper on, Pandemic or not!" 🙄 -If Social Darwinism is real...I say let nature take it's course.
  19. frankster I think those two men are of different ethnicities.. Ethnicity has to do with CULTURE, not looks or skin color. We can have the same Genotype and yet express a different phenotype. But not vise-versa. You CAN'T have a different genotype and express the same phenotype. They are of Different Ethnicities.....Mostly due to environment diet culture and history True. But diet, culture, and environment does NOT affect your hair texture, natural (not tanned by the sun) skin color, eye color, and other racial traits. Those are products of GENETICS. If you are saying that the Hebrew/Jews were white/caucasian....Then how do you explain Moses hands turning white and Miriam turning white 1. Moses wasn't a Jew. According to the Bible he was a Hebrew. Jews weren't invented until around 600 B.C. 2. I didn't say the HEBREWS were White, I said the Jews and Israelites were. Caucasian to be exact, not necessarily "White". There is a difference in all 3: Hebrews, Israelites, Jews. Sometimes they overlap, but they still are different. Yes but Obama being President change the paradigm that Only White Men can be President.....As Men rule would imply First of all there is no rule or paradigm that said "only White men" could be President. It wasn't in the Constitution even during slavery. Secondly, the President of the United States is merely a FIGURE HEAD. He's not a ruler and have very little power to change the course of things in the United States. Most of that power still resides in the hands of White men.
  20. frankster It is either you are Lying or Confused... OR...(don't forget the third option) you can't comprehend, lol. Because I recognize that OTHERS find something valuable that I don't...you think that means I'm lying or confused???? So as a man.... If I tell you that I don't see much value in a tube of red lip stick...but I understand how some women (or some other men...lol) DO find it valuable -you'd think I was lying or confused about that statement???? Man.... Truth and Value is not a matter of preference.... Actually both TRUTH and VALUE are a matter of preference to certain extents. You can prefer to ACCEPT the truth or prefer NOT to accept it. And values are HIGHLY preferential because what one person prefers to value another may disregard. Value is Beneficial....Truth is of Relevance/Righteousness I'm not sure if ALL value is beneficial. Some values are harmful. ..how do you get information from this SUPREME BEING It's not "this" SUPREME BEING but THEE SUPREME BEING. This implies there are Others and you are focused on "This" particular One. There is only ONE SUPREME BEING. But to answer your question, I get information from The SUPREME BEING in numerous ways from Hunches, Dreams, Meditation, ect... In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. So says John.....a human being, who lived -said what he had to say- and died like the millions of other people at that time. But how can Something be WITH Someone AND BE that very same Someone at the same time?
  21. You know what man...... I like what you're doing. I like your hustle.
  22. LOL...what in the world......... Well, if it seems like I'm coming to the defense of the White person....I am, lol. I think White people are devils (ask me to define "devil" before you get too offended, lol), are inherently racist, and I don't trust them. However, having said that- I haven't read anything Michel has said that comes over as overtly racist or outrageously offensive. Hell..... When it comes to SCIENCE and ARCHEOLOGY....the same things they (btw....what makes yall think Michel is a "he"??? I haven't read everything they said but I don't remember them explicitly identifying their gender. Infact, it seems to me they went out of their way to AVOID revealing it...lol) have said on this site are the same things MOST Caucasian scientists in most universities say and teach! From promoting evolution, claiming Black people are less evolved, calling the work of Black scholars "psuedo-science", and denying everything except the "authorized versions" of history and science is the NORM in typical Western academia. That's just what White people do in general....not sure why some of you are so shocked...lol. Actually, outside of the scientific and historical assetions, most of what Michel has said about politics, economics, and society so far has been RIGHT ON the money. Whether "they" really believe it or not, "they" (until I'm sure they're a male or female....lol) is hitting the nails on the head when it comes to their political and social commentary. Although I believe MOST White people are inherently racist, I don't believe in outright accusing them of such because of disagreements and we have to be careful of that type of emotionalism. If some of yall didn't LOVE White folks so much and seek their approval, you would be so angry and offended when they disagree with you...lol
  23. richardmurray exist for the nature of fiscal capitalism. Black people in the usa haven't figured out how to make the majority have positive business ownership but neither have whites in the usa so.. Another MAJOR reason is that smaller communities tend to be more MONOLITHIC. The smaller and more tight knit the community....the more likely they are to share the same culture, values, thought patterns, ect..and that automatically ensures more unity in action. Whether it's the Nation of Islam or a small Haitian community in Baltimore, if it's smaller and more tight knit they will likely stick together more against outsiders and support each other.
  24. 😉 Thanks for telling on yourself and letting us know how you REALLY feel. You only confirmed what I suspected anyway, lol.
  25. frankster For me Humanity is of One ....Race is a social construct - based on political expediency. 🤨 So, you believe the differences between these two men is a "social construct" and doesn't have a physical and genetic factor? So since you believe race is a "social construct", you're saying eliminate the "race construct" and no one would be able to tell the difference between them?? What Phenotype is exclusive to "The Caucasian"? The phenotypical GROUP traits of nearly white skin, red/blonde hair, blue/green eyes, weaker bones and muscles. Again, individually these traits can be found among all other races. But only among Caucasians are they ALL found in a group. Thus the term "race". Yes they do not show blood through skin"Like" Caucasians do.....They are not Caucasians. Like humans they do show blood when the blush and or bruise from under the skin....like African, Caucasian,Chinese or Indians do - each in their own individual way. Ok? Tell me something I DON'T know. I didn't say they weren't human. I said they were of a different race. Provide the Scriptures of which you speak....They are quite a few Scriptures that uses the terms son of man/God Ok, here's one.... Here, Ezekiel himself is referred to a "son of man"..which in it's original translation would be "Ben Adam" or "Son of Adam" Unlike the New Testament which suggests only Christ is the "Son of Man".....the Old Testament calls multiple people "son of man" because the term simply mean a descendant of Adam. Adam being the allegorical first White man. One woman breaks the Rule of Male rule..... We will have to disagree. One or even several occurrences doesn't necessarily end or change the paradigm of an establishment. Obama being President for 8 years didn't change the fact that White people are the ones primarily running this nation.
