Troy My concern is for younger kids and the potential impact on them -- something that no one seems to be concerned about. Lol....what reasons ARE there for the rest of us (or you for that matter) to be concerned about? This video has: -No violence. -No hatred of or disrespect of women. -Not even nudity or real sex is shown. .......what negative impact could this video have on children besides the risk that they'll grow up frustrated that their bodies aren't as firm and athletic as those on this video?

Troy No, again because there only one race. Believing in multiple races and the inherent differences of those races makes one racist. Oh...so in other words you believe Martin Luther King and Malcolm X were racists also since they also acknowledged more than one race and dedicated their lives based around it. Ok so then why take Cynique out of the so called black race solely because of her skin color? I didn't. Genetically, there are more differences bewteen Africans than there between you and any given white person. You have more in common genetically with jared taylor than you do with many of the native people of Africa. How do you know this to be true? Can you provide evidence that Africans have more genetic differences between eachother than AfroAmericans have with Caucasians? The are a lot things that scientists believed 200 years ago, that has since been proven false. Never the less........ You asked for evidence that the Theory of Evolution was racist and I provided it. What have you to say about that?

I recently I got into a confrontation at work with a manager (not mine) over a particular issue and it got to the point that our voices were raised. It didn't help that he was Caucasian also, lol. The issue was resolved (although I'm sure he hasn't forgotten my challenging him) by a higher up but later on after it was over a female co-worker from Nepal whom I flirt with a couple time but she rarely flirted back confided in me how hot and attractive it was to see me being loud and turning red while standing up to that particular manager whom she didn't like either. She said it felt like I was standing up for her (although she wasn't even on my mind at the time) and that the louder I got the more she felt like she was on a cloud and floating she felt so relieved. Anyone who's met women from the Middle East and African countries in general know that for one of them to admit openly that they find you or any other man sexy, hot, or attractive is a HUGE accomplishment because those women tend to be very conservative. But she's not the first woman to tell me straight up that she found it attractive for men to be confrontational and aggressive, other women have to. But the vast majority of them were from OUTSIDE of America. I used to think it was mostly AfroAmerican women who were strong willed and didn't want men "taking charge" of the environment but I've noticed over the years that it seems to be American women in general regardless of race. But I've noticed that women of all races who grew up OUTSIDE of Western culture tend to find strong willed "take charge" men VERY attractive. When I'm aggressive or show traditional masculine traits around women from other countries I can see it in their eyes that they love it and if I criticize homosexuality they don't defend it, most of the time they just say nothing or even agree with me. My question is directed mostly at the women viewing but obviously I want to hear from Troy and Del on their personal experiences, but do you all REALLY dislike for a man to dominate you and take charge of the environment like so many women today say.....or do you actually love it and just SAY you don't because it's the politically correct thing to say? I'm asking this because there's no way in hell so many women outside of America can think so much differently than those inside unless some sort of conditioning was going on. Now this is a moment when I wished Cynique was here, lol. Whether we agreed or not I could atleast count on her as a woman who gives her honest opinion about an issue even if it's not a popular one that most other women agree with. But perhaps Chev @Chevdove , Mel @Mel Hopkins, or Queen X can give there opinions and TRY TO BE AS HONEST AS POSSIBLE. Again, do you like for a man to be dominant and show aggression and "take charge"? Does it depend on the man, meaning as long as he's "smart" or "rich" you don't mind, or would you rather NO man try to control you or your environment or show aggressiveness? And if you DO like that do you like it in a sexual sort of way or just a platonic "proud" sort of way?

Troy 1. If simply believing in the existence of different races makes one racist, then by using that SAME logic....believing in the existence of different sexes makes one sexist. 2. What we call "Asian eyes" isn't a trait exclusely found among East Asians but can also be found among certain Africans and certain Native Americans. It's just ONE TRAIT, but in order to qualify as a member of a particular race it takes MULTIPLE TRAITS. 3. I'm suprised you didn't know the Theory of Evolution is racist. For one thing, it theorizes that humanity evolved OUT OF Africa....which implies that Africans are less evolved than other groups. We know that the theory originated for the most part with Charles Darwin and his book Origin of Species, but if you ever read the book and saw the title you'd see: The book that outlines his Theory of Evolution makes it clear that the theory is about the natural selection of FAVORED RACES (races of both animals and humans). Directly stating that some races are more favored and desired than others. So even if YOU don't believe in race, your boy Darwin and the other scientists who promote the theory do, lol.

Troy ACKNOWLEDGING the existence of race and racism doesn't make one any more racist than acknowledging the difference between the sexes and the existence sexism makes one sexist. Lol, because you believe men are different than women, are you now sexist? ooking at the people you posted I see they have monolids, wouldn't that make them mongoloid, Asian, or whatever racial category you use? Why does Cynique's skin color disqualify her from being Black or "African," if you prefer, when having Chinese eyes does not? Because when determining one's race, MANY factors must be considered...not just one or two. You keep trying to make it as simple as skin color when there's a multitude of characteristics both phenotypically as well as genetically that determines a person's race or RACES (if they are multiracial). Cynique wouldn't be considered African simply because her skin is very light BECAUSE OF the high mixture of Caucasian blood that we KNOW she has. The reason for her light skin is obvious and it's because of a high amount of Caucasian ancestry. With the San people of Africa, their lighter skin IS NOT caused by a high degree of Caucasian ancestry because for the most part they are unmixed, which makes them PURE. They are Africans who happen to have lighter skin....but their other features like hair and nose and genetic markers are the same as most other Africans. 　 Africans are the most genetically diverse people on Earth. You can't call all of them "pure" without including the rest of humanity in the purity. We are all born of Africa including Jared and his people. They did not morph into a new race when their people left Africa 200,00 years ago -- that is a split sec on the eveloutionary scale. This is a mere theory......conjecture really.....not an established proven fact. I've said numerous times that I do not believe humanity came out of Africa. I believe our ancestors CAME FROM the Indian subcontinent region and MIGRATED TO Africa through Egypt and Ethiopia. Caucasians didn't come from Africa either. They came from another branch of "Black" people who had straight hair. But since neither idea has actually been PROVEN, both are theories. By the way, you DO realize that the THEORY of evolution is racist in it's conception right?

Troy What do you mean me and "other" racists? Just because I acknowledge racial differences and the racism that results from them that doesn't mean I'm guilty of the same. Lol, you should be ashamed of yourself....calling your brutha a racist. Also as previously mentioned you don't consider someone of Cynique complexion "Black," so how would you treat her mistreatment by a white man compared to that of a blond-haired, blue-eyes woman? I don't use the term "Black" much but rather "African" to describe our race. And no, I don't consider Cynique African by race but she's not Caucasian either. That Caucasian man could be racist against her simply for not being Caucasian regardless to how "Black" she may or may not be. Most Jews are Caucasian, but they are often STILL victims of racism because of the minute traces of their actual and PERCEIVED African ancestry. Del is darker than I am; in fact, Del is darker than many actual native African peoples. Is he a better breed, or a or more superior version, of a so called Black person? Again, it's not JUST about complexion but other genetic and phenotypical factors as well. This is why I use the term AFRICAN and CAUCASIAN for racial purposes, instead of "Black" and "White". There are a lot of pure AFRICANS with relatively light skin called the San People who live in Southern Africa. We are all human dude. Our skin color does not make as any more or less so, our behavior does that. You can believe that all you want, but try getting Jared Taylor and his supporters and followers to believe it. Try to get the racist cops who have shot so many unarmed AfroAmericans that we are "all" humans. Who YOU believe are humans and what they're worth ain't worth a hill of beans when those in power believe otherwise.

Troy Ummph. I remember Kim Coles was doing a little stand-up even BEFORE she had that show. If I were you I would have asked her to introduce you to the other sistaz on the show like Queen Latifah, Erika Alexander, and "Tootie". (I know she's Kim Fields but she'll always be Tootie to me....lol)

Troy This society was BUILT on racism and racial heirarchy. To believe that those in charge would stop tracking race and considering the races of individuals means you believe they'd actually be willing to dismantle their entire system. The victims would have legal ground for being mistreated. All this focus on race being the motivator tends to reinforce the perceived, inherent, differences between people with different skin tones. Problems is....victims can CLAIM mistreatment but without the acknowledgement of race there is no basis for claims of racism nor would their be an ability to document PATTERNS of mistreatement. It's like claiming you were bitten by a dog in a society that doesn't believe dogs even exist. All you would have are individuals being mistreated in what appears to be unrelated cases instead of SYSTEMIC abuse (racism). Also, the acknowledgement of racial differences is beneficial to us as AfroAmericans also because we can focus on eating the proper foods and using the proper products that benefit people of African descent as those differences are acknowledged. When you claim that all people are of the same race, then you won't be able to explain why Caucasians can drink alcohol at the same rate that Native Americans drink it but the Native American community ends up being DEVASTATED by it while the Caucasian community does just fine.....but acknowledgement of racial differences explains this. When you claim that all people are of the same race then you won't be able to explain why certain soaps and lotions that are just fine for Caucasian skin and hair doesn't work or has a negative effect on AfroAmerican skin and hair.....as most Black women will confirm. .....but acknowledgement of racial differences explains this.

Troy Oh, that's Jared Taylor. I could have told you about him. He's one of the foremost spokespersons for the moder Caucasian racists today exactly BECAUSE of his well spoken, calm, and charismatic demeanor. Infact Tariq Nasheed interviews him many times and they even had a debate. You ask do I understand how a belief in race can be so destructive, but I ask you do you realize how e NOT believing and acknowledging the truth about race can be even MORE destructive? And I mean literally! Do you realize that in Latin America in places like Mexico, Dominican Republic, Bolivia, and other nations in South and Cental America the governments don't acknowledge the racial differences of it's citizens? All Mexicans are considered the same race despite their color. All Bolivians are considered the same despite their shade. You say this is marvelous and beautiful! The problem is Black Mexicans and Black Bolivians are HEAVILY discriminated against, beaten, jailed, and mistreated by the White and lighter skinned people of their nations and because "races" doesn't exists officially they can't even call it racism. The victims have no legal grounds in which to claim discrimination because these governments don't recognize them as being of a different race than their attacker. As for the first video..... Neely Fuller says that one of the biggest tools that White Supremists use is CONFUSION. As usual, the slick talking Jared Taylor is confusion RACE with NATIONALITY in order to confuse the audience. He talks about "American" as if it were a race and uses the terms "white" and "American" interchangeably in order to associate in the audiences' minds that American MEANS White. He also consistently says "America" and only rarely uses the correct term for this nation which is the "United States". Confusion has been weaponized today, and this is why a person must not only have an analytical mind in order to decipher and parce words in order to NOT be confused and deceived, but must also have a proper grasp of world history. As for your second video........... I said in another thread that Black folks were making rap videos and even had The Wire talking about how violent and ghetto Baltimore was; so they shouldn't be so surprised when Trump decides to back them up and bear witness to what THEY say about their own city. Negroes need to start using more common sense and think ahead before they start glorifying and taking pride in foolishness. Don't brag about how violent and crazy your community is and then get angry if a White man comes along and agrees with you! On a lighter note. Since squirrels are "rodents" too and plenty of them as well as beavers can be seen roaming around Washington D.C.....someone should inform Trump that those who lived in "rodent infested" cities themselves shouldn't throw stones at others, lol.

Troy "Harm" many not be the right word. So I can't answer your question as posed. Sure you can, your answer was actually "no"...lol. Because nothing in this video harms children in any way. It may make ADULTS feel uncomfortable if they are around children when it comes on, much like frank sex talk makes parents uncomfortable when their children (of any age) are around....when that same talk wouldn't bother either if they were by themselves. And it all originates from people NOT having honest and frank talks about REAL sexuality to begin with, but instead hiding or ignoring it....suppressing it. And as is often the case, when something is suppressed it comes out with much force and discomfort from being kept into such an unnatural state. dunno man, I can only imagine what the average teenage boy wants to do after seeing this video I got news for you my brutha, the average teenage boy DOESN'T NEED videos like this to get him going....lol. When I was a teenager my erections WORK ME UP like an alarm clock. 　 Look, scantily clad women gyrating in this manner were around when I was a teen too, but you had to go to a strip club to see this stuff. Now come on man, you grew up in Harlem in the late 60s and 70s! Are you telling me all those pictures I saw of prostitutes on the street half naked and every day girls walking around in miniskirts, halter tops, sting tops, and hot pants, braless, ect....was just on television? You didn't see women walking around shaking what their mama gave them in REAL life? I know when I was a kid growing up in the Midwest in the 70s and 80s when it got hot women and girls were wearing clothes about as skimpy as what you see in that video. 　 Yes I remember doing the "Freak," but we were not filiming it and watching it constantly. Did you think the freak was appropriate? I know at least one guy that ejaculated while freaking 　 So while I don't disagree with anything you wrote Mel, I find it hard to believe you would host a party where your teenage daughters were dressed and dancing like that. Would you you let them "freak" or dance "rub-a-dub style" in the basement with the lights off? @Pioneer1 if you are familiar with those dance styles, same question 1. When I was coming up we were doing the same thing but we called it "grinding". White folks called it "dry humping". All it was was having as something as close to sex as you can with your clothes on. 2 . I did grind on a lot of females at parties and clubs and altough I don't remember "busting" in my pants, most of the time I DID feel a little "pre-cum" come out. I'll stop right there rather than get too graphic....lol. 3. Not only did we do this as teenagers but now that I think on it even back in elementary school at 7 and 8 we used to chase girls around getting out "squeeze" on all over them. We called it "hide and go get some". What you're seeing in the video as well as what you saw growing up is African youth behaving the way we NORMALLY behave when nature is allowed to take it's course. Before Caucasians came and influenced our thinking with their prudish anti-sexual religions and philosophies most African and Dravidian societies had "sex cults" where the entire community would come out to have sex with eachother in mass.....nothing to be ashamed of. You can read in the Bible where the Israelites (Caucasians) tried to stamp it out in the different lands they conquered. 4. To answer your question: No. As open minded as I am about the idea, no I probably wouldn't let my teenage daughter do it. Why not? Irrational male over protectiveness. But my decision is an emotional decision, not a logical one. You were a gymnast? I bet you were strong as hell! I've met a few male gymasts and them cats had muscles like wire cables. 　 Mel The dancing in this video is beautiful! And look at all those chocolate young women and men!~ They are beautiful! Not only do I agree with you but I absolutly LOVE seeing attractive and physically fit AfroAmericans be sensual and express their sexuality. I'd much rather see them do THIS than fighting and pulling guns on eachother. I'lll promote Black on Black love over Black on Black violence any day. 　 Alright.....you've been agreeing with me so much lately I'm getting suspicious! What are you up too....lol. BTW...when you say "Kim Coles" do you mean you went to school with Kim Coles the actress from Living Singles?

Fired? A person get's "fired" from Subway for not making a sandwich correctly. How is just "firing" someone who just killed a man supposed to be seen as a victory? In Hong Kong the other day some police officers were caught on camera beating one of the protestors while he was in the hospital and already injuried. They weren't just "fired" but these officers were ARRESTED and put in JAIL for what they did. Fired............. Hmmm....I wonder will the Eric Garner incident be listed on his resume?

Maurice Perhaps in both the UK and US many of the citizens of color aren't out in the streets challenging these right-wing facists because they're afraid they wouldn't be shown the same indifferent treatment to their activities that the Caucasian leftist activists are shown. While the Caucasian activist may march and scream and duke it out and get back in their groups and drive off.....the African or Indian activist probably fears he'll find himself in cuffs or brought up on charges of assault and inciting a riot. Queen X That doesn.t explain why crazy people should have military-style weapons. Those young men weren't "crazy" or insane. Evil....yes. Crazy....no. They knew EXACTLY what they were doing and why they did it and showed no remorse for their actions.

Maurice I have suspicions about this "antifa" group as well. They are supposed to be this far left organization yet I don't see any AfroAmericans or Latinos as members nor do I see any of them in real life....only on television.

Troy Oh don't get me wrong, I totally respect the right for whoever to get themselves all tatted up if they like. But I don't like this "monkey see monkey do" attitude of just because you see a lot of Caucasians doing something you feel an automatic urge to imitate them even without knowing the meaning. Infact, I make the same complaint about so many AfroAmericans wearing suits and ties as so-called "business" attire. Common sense should tell us that one's ability to do good business pertains to what's going on in their head and their ability to sell their ideas and effectively communicate.....and as long as their clean and neat whether or not they have a suit on should be irrelevant. But since the founders of this society (Caucasians) established that you should wear a suit and dress shoes to business (and church) many of our people just go along with it unquestioned. ....but that's another topic all together, lol. Listen, I'd lke you to think about my question carefully....... Exactly what (as in what scenes can you point to) in this video do you think would actually harm a child by them looking at it? There is no nudity. No one is even having sex. It's just a bunch of people dancing and shaking and showing a lot of skin (and tatoos). How could this be detrimental to a child's development or psyche?

Mel Well if you had stuck with them a little longer and rose higher in the ranks of the party you would have eventually realized that not only are they a bunch of thugs and gangsters but at the very top BOTH the Republicans and Democrats are one and the same. The Left wing and Right wing are just different side of the same bird of prey. Republicans and Democrats are just components of a political game controlled by the same group. As far as the financial aspect of Conservatism......... I can agree with it on a local and state level because these regions can't "make" their own money but must get it from other sources; but I don't by fiscal conservatism at all on the federal level because this nation can literally "make-up" and print all of the money it wants and add as much value to it as needed to offset inflation. And this is exactly what the U.S. has been doing since WWII. So there is no need for America to be financially conservative at the federal level.

Sex sells.... Always has Always will But let's put this video in it's proper perspective........ This video is MILD. It's not even worth a PG rating as far as I'm concerned. All it is is a bunch of AfroAmerican youth dancing and girating around in scant clothing. There is NO SEX being had, and NO NUDITY seen. Like you I watched the entire video also, expecting to see some nudity or sex....lol...and didn't. While my concern isn't the exact opposite of yours, it may be considered a bit diagonal or kitty-corner from it. My concern is that this society is becoming TOO "anti-sex" because they are mistaking tasteless juvenile girating like what you see in that video.....for ACTUAL SEX. Because it's not. You can see more skin and sensuality at the beach. I await the day where you'll actually see COMPLETELY NAKED women (especially older women for a change) not just dancing around but actually HAVING REAL SEX in music videos as well as in movies and this be a normalized thing. On a side note, I noticed that almost all of the men in that video had tatoos. I do have a problem with so many of our people getting tatoos over their bodies. People of color don't need tatoos....they already have color in their skin.

A lot of AfroAmericans are hard on Jay-Z for not going in hard enough on White Supremacy given his wealth and status but Jay-Z isn't a Civil Rights leader nor does he profess to be one. He's an entertainer and he makes his money making people happy, not pissing them off....which often happens when you start delving subjects of controversy like politics. Truth be told, like most rappers of the 90s Jay-Z got rich rapping about killing other AfroAmerican men, selling dope, abusing women, and engaging in other negative anti-social endeavors. Should we really EXPECT anything positive from him?

I think they're putting more than just lead in the water but other toxins too. Much of this is used to control the behavior of the AfroAmerican population but when you have AfroAmericans in positions of power like police, mayors, and even the President (Obama) who KNOW about this and do absolutely NOTHING about it.....what can you say? If this were a WHITE city and they found this out, the White judges and cops would have whoever was in charge of the municipal water supply in cuffs and up on charges within a week. They wouldn't wait on the fed or someone else to do it....they would take care of it themselves. But you have some Black officials standing around in suits and ties scratching their heads over "what to do" when their cities are poisoned. The older I get the more I realize how just and correct this Universe actually is and how people often get just what they deserve. You KNOW the water is poisioned...but you still drink it and do nothing about it. You KNOW drugs are put into your community to destroy you....but you still use and sell them. You KNOW guns are put into your community to destroy you....but you still use them. Since childhood I wondered why Black people had to go through what they did, but when I observe the BEHAVIOR of a lot of our people even when we have the opportunity and power to do better and help ourselves......often times the reasons our people are in the conditions they are in make much more sense.

Maurice Id agree with you that today that there are Brit artists imitating the sounds made by Afro Americans. I'm really trying not to be biased here but I truly believe that the previous artists I mentioned were doing it for love. Yes, they made loads of cash in the process but I think this was mainly due to the original songs they eventually recorded. Ofcourse. Nodoubt they were doing it for love! But love of the ART....not love of the ARTIST. So if they can find a way to seperate the ART (that they and their fans love so much) from the BLACK ARTISTS (that many of their fans despise and see as inferior) they can have their cake and eat it too. Or better yet, if they can claim this art as THEIR OWN.....this inflation of their egos is an added bonus. Ofcourse in the context of 2019 both you and I can listen to Joss Stone or Adele understand how an argument can be made that their style is basically a copy of the urban style of AfroAmericans.....but what about 2 or 3 generations from now? By that time the context would have changed and all you would have is the artists. It's the same with the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Today we see these groups as wonderfully talented groups with the creativity to rock the world, very little is mentioned of the Chuck Berrys and Little Richards and Sly and the Family Stones that these groups "borrowed" much of their styles from. You see.... Putting a Caucasian face on such great and soul-stiring music helps to maintain the idea of White Supremacy in society because it tells society that such wonderful and alluring music HAD to have been produced by the "superior" people. It would be illogical and fly in the face of White Supremacy that those deemed "inferior" could or would make superior music.

LD Virtue How would you explain our black Republican. There are Republicans of all cultures. How do we justify there decision, It's funny you should ask that because I actually know some AfroAmerican Republicans personally and for the past year or so they've been so embarassed at the antics that's been going on in Washington that the last thing they want to do is talk politics with me....lol. As Troy pointed out much of it has to do with financial reasons, however in my personal observations besides the AfroAmerican business owners who favor the lower taxes and deregulations the Republican party promotes, there are also 2 major reasons why AfroAmericans join the Republican party: 1. Self hatred. You'd be suprised at how many AfroAmericans actually HATE other AfroAmericans and wish they can join Caucasian racists in harming and eliminating them. Often times this hatred stems from how they were treated in childhood by other AfroAmericans. They decide to get "even" as adults. But the self-hatred is REAL and not just an exaggeration or cliche. 2. Confusion over conservative principles. Up until recently most AfroAmericans were SOCIALLY conservative. They were against abortions, against homosexuality, had strong family values, and were very religious. The more the Democrats moved away from these principles the more AfroAmericans lost faith in the Democratic Party and many turned to the Republican party because of their moral RHETORIC (which most really don't believe in) which tickled the ear of the average Jesus loving AfroAmerican who believed Republicans were the party of values and morals. What's happening today is as this generation of AfroAmerican youth become more socially liberal they aren't as attracted to...thus aren't willing to fall for....the conservative/religious RHETORIC (which they really don't believe in) of the Republican party.

Delano and see what Eminem and other rappers say. Lol....after I told you that I see Eminem as a thief and a liar, why would you think I would even care about what he has to say? Maurice Do you really believe that all pop music STOLE from Afro American music? Loads of Brit bands in the 60s were very deeply influenced by RnB and covered many tunes . I'm sure there was no intention to rob. How can you be so "sure" there was no intention to rob or steal the music and claim credit for it? You talk about the Beatles and other bands of the past but TODAY as we speak British artists like Joss Stone, Adele, and Ed Sheeran have attained fortunes and world fame basically IMITATING the sound and cadence of AfroAmericans in their music. How can people born and raised in England sound so much like inner-city AfroAmericans if they weren't intentionally trying to imitate them? It's a clear case of intellectual theft.

Chev You don't? Yes, I believe them... maybe not pres. Trump, he says too much to know what to believe coming from him, but the others, yes, I do! I do believe that these Republicans saying thiese acts of terrorism is racist-- in that they are sincere. Why would you not trust Trump yet trust the sincerity of his fellow Republicans? They are ALL liars and racists; if not, they wouldn't have joined the Republican party to begin with. Even the kids at the Florida highschool that was shot up a couple years ago no longer believe the lying words that come out of these politicians' mouths and told them their "thoughts and prayers" ain't worth a damn. It's the love and trust so many AfroAmericans continue to have of deceptive and racist Caucasians that ALLOW them to carry out the domestic terrorist acts they commit. Because you only distrust them AFTER they have done something horrible instead of not trusting them in the first place before they can get a chance to. No way! This is a conditioning, and a choice that is being made. This, IMO is not GENETIC at all. It is not apart of any RACIAL MEMORY and it is not born in them. This is all taught and conditioning. If their racism is all conditioning and a result of being taught....then WHO started it? Who taught the first group of Caucasians to be racist and see themselves as superior to all the other people of color in their environment? For nearly 4,000 years we've seen them commit the same theft, murder, and enslavement whether it's with Native Americans, Africans, or Asians. If it's not part of their genetic make-up and they "learned" it from somewhere....where/who?

Maurice The worlds gone mad. "gone"????? What is happening today that hasn't BEEN happening for thousands of years prior? In what era or age have humans NOT seen mass killings by the hundreds and thousands? This is nothing new. The methods and weapons used for mass murder may differ from one era to the next but the theme is pretty much the same: -People...mostly young men.....who feel frustrated and angry at their lot in life either join a gang, the military, or if their too crazy to get along with other people become lone wolves and set out to make as many other human beings feel their pain as much as they possibly can.

Have you seen non Black people pull off African or even Afro American clothing. Too me, Caucasians can get away with dressing in the "typical" AfroAmerican style but they look funny as hell dressing in traditional African clothing. The colors and patterns are often too bright and clashes with their skin. Does Wesley Snipes seem more Black than Denzel Washington. Meek Mill versus Drake. Wesley Snipes is certainly darker than Denzel and some would consider his facial features more African, but for most intents and purposes I wouldn't consider Wesley "Blacker" than Denzel. Blacker than Will Smith...lol....but not Denzel. As far as Drake and Mill.....Drake is a mulatto while both of Mill's parents are AfroAmerican. I am not certain where I would put Eminem. He doesn't try and sound black but he loves hip hop in a way that Jay Z doesn't. Eminem loves hip hop Jay Z loves hustling. In. my opinion You may not know where to put Slim Shitty but I know where to put him....in the same box with Elvis Presley and the rest of those in the popular music industry who are guilty of stealing AfroAmerican music styles and claiming it as their own. He's a thief AND a liar. For one things he's NOT from Detroit. He's from Kansas City Kansas and he only moved to the SUBURBS of Detroit at 12 or 13 but never grew up in the city itself. His entire persona has been fabricated and it was done so with two purposes in mind: 1. To help erase the image of Detroit as a "Black" city and make it seem more Caucasian friendly for gentrification. 2. To put a White face on Hiphop so that the global audience will not be so attracted to AfroAmerican men who originated it. Infact the entire "Pop" music genre was developed to STEAL AfroAmerican music and styles and attribute it to Caucasian artists.

Mel Oops...lol....I think you may have made a mistake and left out an important word in your statement. You said: But I think what you MEANT to say was: Because in America, it's not Asian or Africa or Native American men making anti-abortion laws and playing legal games with women's reproductive rights.....it's almost ALL Caucasian men mostly in the Republican party. We must be very specific when we cast blame and don't inclue ALL men in what racist conservative men have crafted. 　 　 Troy Outside of the major urban centers, we have a gun culture here which I assumed was inherited from you guys :-) Are guns difficult to obtain in the UK or do people simply not worship them as they do here? I know you were joking with Maurice but it should be pointed out that the Englishmen who founded the United States primarily came from the lower classes. The early colonies were heavily populated by the poverty stricken, destitute, and mentally ill as well as criminals and cast aways. The fact that the most violent and criminal minded of British culture founded the United States explain a lot about why this current society is so gun-crazy and violent as compared to England. It's the same with Australia. Australia was founded and populated by the same type of criminals and destitutes who populated the early U.S. But New Zealand was established by the UPPER CLASSES of England! And to this very day you still can see a clear difference between Australian and New Zealander culture. Even the way they talk is different.
