　 K2 Pioneer1: Shooting off from the mouth (again) with absolutely nothing to back-up your misstatements Have you known ANYONE who was able to back-up "misstatements"? 　 First and foremost, ethnicity involves the "social identity' of a person or group; anyone can choose to identify with whatever or whoever they want. Just like Judaism (a religion) isn't restricted to just Jews; even if Jews choose to not recognize that person as such. Allow me to correct you....... I said it's not enough for anyone to simply call themselves a Jew AND BE a Jew. Hell, as long as you have a mouth you can run around CALLING yourself the President or the Pope...doesn't mean you ARE. Again, in order to be Jewish you MUST fit the criteria I laid out....see above. Don't leave out half of what I say or you'll only get HALF the understanding.....lol. The same as with 'gender,' anyone can choose to identify as a man or woman. Male and female, on the other hand, is just one 'biological' aspect of living species. Allow me to correct you again...... Again, anyone can CHOOSE TO IDENTIFY with whatever they want, but that doesn't mean they ARE what they identify with nor does it mean they will be ACCEPTED as what they identify with. Male and female is BIOLOGICAL Masculine and feminine is SOCIAL A person can CHOOSE whether or not they want to be masculine or feminine. A person CAN'T CHOOSE whether or not they want to be male or female....outside of getting physically altered. 　 　 THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO BIOLOGICAL BASES to race and ethnicity. NONE, NONE, NONE Allow me to correct you once more......... Once again you're only getting it HALF right. The basis of ethnicity is MOSTLY sociological (although biology does play a minor role in most cases); however the bases of race IS BIOLOGICAL. 　 The BIOLOGICAL cause of darker skin of Africans: Dermatologist Susan C. Taylor, author of "Brown Skin," points out that African- Americans and other people of colour generally look younger than their lighter- skinned peers because of the higher levels of melanin in their skin. 　 https://www.slideshare.net/blmcharity2016/the-science-of-melanin 　 The BIOLOGICAL causes of different hair in different races: Asian hair is on average the thickest and most coarse hair compared to Caucasian and African American hair. It is almost always straight and circular in cross section. The density of Asian hair on the scalp (follicles per unit area of skin) is less than that typically observed in Caucasians. The density of hair follicles in African Americans is also somewhat lower than for Caucasians on average. At the lowest end of the spectrum the density of Asian may be just 90,000 scalp follicles and rarely gets above 120,000 scalp follicles. Caucasian hair can be quite variable in its presentation with straight, wavy or curly hair. The fiber can be circular or oval in cross section and is on average thinner than Asian hair. Hair follicle density varies and density can be approximately related to hair color. Red haired people have the least dense scalp hair growth of Caucasians, blonds the most dense and brown haired people somewhere in the middle. Denstiy can range from 100,000-150,000 scalp hair follicles African American hair is frequently tightly coiled, or spiral hair. In cross section it is elliptical or almost flat and ribbon-like in some cases. This means that there is more strength and rigidity to the fiber across the area of greatest cross section but the hair is much more pliable across the narrow section. This results in the curls of hair all naturally flexing and coiling along the ribbon while there is little or no coiling from side to side 　 http://www.keratin.com/aa/aa002.shtml 　 I can go on and on posting plenty of articles and links to the BIOLOGICAL and SCIENTIFIC reality of race and racial differences. Whether or not you CHOOSE to accept them is up to you. 　 　 (The Multigroup Ethnic Identity ... (by Jean S. Phinney) April 1, 1992). Read it and learn something! Maybe. But you should try UNDERSTANDING what you read in order learn. All the reading in the world will not help you if you don't have the intelligence to COMPREHEND what you're reading; or take what you've read and run off with only a half-assed understanding of the intended message.

K2 And you are being YOU again....which means making no damn sense....lol. But to answer your questions........... A Black person is the colloquial name for a member of the African race A Jew has 2 definitions: 1. A member of the Jewish ethnic group or 2. A member of the religion of Judaism So no...anyone can't simply CALL themselves a Jew and still be one if they don't fit the criteria of the above definitions.

@ Pioneer, @Troy: Public housing does protect poor people from natural elements, true; but what about the unnatural elements? 500-1000 poor families living a space half the size of a mall; and less than 200 feet away another 500-1000 poor families and more; all within the space of several city blocks. Certainly overcrowding can be uncomfortable and lead to hygenic issues; but I don't think overcrowding was the problem that lead to the deteriorating living conditions of most housing projects in the United States. Look at Japan and China and how densely populated MOST of the communities are overthere. They probably live together at 10 times the population density of the Robert Taylor or Red Hook.....but had far less crime and violence. Hell, you can look at the population densities of the neighboring wealthy communities of the Upper West side of Manhattan or the Gold Coast of Chicago with a denser population than in the projects......but the living conditions are still much better. It's not the population density that's the problem, it's: 1. The mentality of the people and how they're taught to live in society 2. The maintanence of the buildings and property. 3. Security and police presence in the community All of this is involved in how well people in a given community can live together. In Detroit in the 70s when all of the projects were still up the crime and poverty was concentrated but contained. When they began the Section 8 program of moving people out of the projects into the working class neighborhoods around the city......they didn't solve the problem but SCATTERED it all over the city. So the neighborhood full of detached bungalo houses became just as crime infested and run down as the highrise projects, but with only a quarter of the population density.

Well I haven't seen the movie yet but I've heard him speak on why he left or was kicked out. Besides what you mentioned about him no longer believing hell exists, I've also heard that he stopped condemning homosexuality. Perhaps Carlton himself may be homosexual and this has influenced his decision. I always thought Carlton was kind of "sweet" anyway.....lol. Although I don't agree with much of the religious dogmatism of the Church and don't think it's very healthy for society I'm leaning more with the Church than I am with Mr Pearson on this one. Why? Because despite it's condemnation of people and discrimination of homosexuals....the church is an INSTITUTION. And how fair it is to go into an institution trying to change the institution and it's policies because you don't agree with them? If you don't agree with what's happening in the institution then either DON'T GO into it in the first place.....or if you later change your mind....LEAVE that institution. The beliefs about homosexuality and hell have been established in Christianity for hundreds of years and if you're going to be a member and promote Christianity.....then you should promote the beliefs as they ARE...not how you like them to be. It's like these different gay and lesbian groups insisting that their church perform same-sex marriages and accept them for who they are. Ofcourse they should be accepted for who they are and they shouldn't be condemned to hell forever. But my question is why insist on staying in an institution that hates you and condemns you in the first place? Leave it and find one that DOES accept you....or start one of your own.

Human beings need a measure of social validation in order to be be psychologically healthy. Men especially need social validation from the women in their community or environment to be at their best. Which is why we have female cheerleaders on many sports teams. Infact, I said in another thread recently that I wished more women would post on this site. Many women are happy as hell to spend long periods of time around just other women, but most men aren't like that. But human beings really need REAL LIFE interaction with eacother in order to be healthy. Some have a greater need than others, but all have that need and I believe all of this "online" activity is interfering with the natural process of socialization. I'm seeing a lot of grown men who have the type of social anxiety that you used to only see among early teenagers. Because everyone they meet and interact with is "online" they never learned to conquer their fear of actually stepping to girls and meeting new people. It's producing a society where so many people are stuck in their own little bubbles. Men and women in their 20s and 20s who can't tolerate any type of rejection and any type of confrontation makes them feel "bullied"

K2 You seem to believe that there is a MAJOR distinction from those Caucasians called "Jews" and OTHER Caucasians. .....as if one is worse for us than the other. What difference does the religion or ethnicity of the Caucasian standing before us and trying to get our vote....make? Do you think Jews have treated AfroAmericans worse than the Anglo Saxons or Arabs?

Troy Again, Pioneer if you accepted the fact that race has no genetic basis and is purely an artificial construct, would would be confused about the differences between by and Shakra and only this issue to b th bass for you rejecting our sister. I don't reject Beyonce as a human being, I just don't accept her as Black. RACIAL CATEGORIZATION is an artificial construct..it was invented by humans. But RACE ITSELF is real and is genetically based. Just like plants and polar bears are real and obviously different....but categorizing them as "vegetation" and "mammals" is artificial. You really should have read the issue from National Geographic recommended these was an article with pictures that illustrated the genetic diversity on the continent of Africa. It would help you appreciate grouping people origin by the basis of their skin color is silly. Race is more than than simply a person's SKIN COLOR. There are Indians in India who are just a dark as the darkest person in Africa but they're still of a different race. I've seen Chinese and Japanese paler and whiter than most White people I've met.....but they're still of a different race. Race goes deeper than just skin tone. 　 　 Mel You know how it is with what I write. Sometimes you have to just eat the meat and spit out the bones....lol.

College Student Hailed As Hero After Saving 80-Year-Old Woman From Burning Home GLEN BURNIE (WJZ) — A Maryland college student is being hailed as a hero after saving a woman from her burning home in Anne Arundel County Wednesday. Family was back at the home Thursday to clean up and go through some of the things inside. This could have been much worse, if not for the help of a stranger walking by. The charred facade of Gail Johnston’s Glen Burnie home is hard to miss when driving by, but it’s what happened at the back door Wednesday afternoon that has plenty of people calling Tre Williams a hero. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/good-news/college-student-hailed-as-hero-after-saving-80-year-old-woman-from-burning-home/ar-AAwIB8I?OCID=ansmsnnews11

I still remember me and my brothers going to visit relatives who lived in the projects when we were kids.....lol. I remember the shitty green color of the walls and stairwells that smells like urine. Virginia Slim cigarette billboards all over the place. Crack and crack dealing hadn't gotten a foothold in the community yet so pimping and plain old robbing people were HUGE back in those days. But the thing I really remember was the COMMUNALISM that existed among most of the people. While the grown folks were talking and visiting, the kids would get together in groups to play and build go-carts and other things in empty lots and after playing we would go from unit to unit eating food at different family's apartments. I'm almost sure it was the same the way some of you grew up but when I went to the projects every time you met a new kid you never knew how things would turn out....yall could be fighting 5 minutes after meeting or yall could be sharing toys and being friends....lol. I remember getting into it with one joker and I hit him with my shoe and he took my shoe and ran off with it and I had to hop back to my cousin's place.....lol. But what was really weird was having someone you just met a couple hours ago taking the entire crew back home and their mother feeding all of us during dinner time! We didn't do that back in my neighborhood. You barely invited the friends you knew for years over for dinner.....let alone new ones you just met. Also, I remember there were still a lot of grown older men living in the projects and they could fix ANYTHING from cars to refrigerators to blow dryers to air conditioners. People really lived as a "village" and everyone knew everyone who came in. As far as the high rent they want to charge now.............. The Republicans have set out to dismantle all of the social and economic gains America has made since Roosevelt...and that includes public housing. Most wealthy Republican conservatives actually hate anything "public" or supplied by the goverment because it gets in the way of private corporations making a profit from filling the demand. They don't want the public supplying housing for people, because it's too many options. They want private housing to dominate so that you will have no choice but to pay extemely high rent and taxes OR be homeless. This was the situation that greedy rich people had America in before the New Deal. Paying high rent for substandard housing. Roosevelt came along and built housing projects that were strong and sturdy in the inner cities to help the people. So what Republican Conservatives have done for the past 40 years or so is SABATOGE and DEFUND everything "public" and goverment offered to so that it will purposely This includes the public schools, public housing, medicaid, the post office, ect...... Anything public they will purposely defund and mismanage it to the point that it is in shambles.....then point at it as an example of how "inefficient" the government is and use it as an example of why it should be privatized. Who I blame are the Democrats and liberals who ALLOW it to happen and don't fight to increase funding.

BEYONCE SHAKIRA These two women are SUPPOSEDLY of two different races...... But can anyone point out any actually PHYSICAL DIFFERENCES between the two? I don't care what anyone says......Beyoncé IS NOT BLACK! Too many AfroAmericans have been brainwashed into accepting ANYONE who calls themselves Black AS Black....and it's creating problems in the community. Beyoncé is being promoted and paid by racist entertainment executives because of her light skin and she's being encouraged to dye her hair blonde, probably straighten it, and wear all types of weaves and extensions to FURTHER brainwash Black youth.

Yes, culturally speaking men are usually programmed to be more aggressive AND they are naturally more aggressive because men are predominantly higher in the hormone testosterone which ALSO makes people more aggressive. My point is it's not an EITHER OR....it's BOTH.

For the sake of conversation.............. What's the problem with Jews....male or female...running for office?

I brought up the Nation if Islam as an example of how men putting on suits and ties DOES NOT necessarily mean you're trying to be White, because the Nation of Islam teaches that White people are a race of devils....lol.....so they're obviously not trying to be like them. Now it's a well known social as well as scientific fact that men tend to be more aggressive than women and it's been that way since recorded humanity. It's also well known that testosterone.....among other things.....causes one to be more assertive and aggressive. This is just one of MANY examples of how biology influences sociology and behavior. But if you want to continue to believe that the only reason men tend to be more aggressive than women....have deeper voices, have penises, have larger muscles, and can grow beards.....all simply because of "programming" then you're well within your right to do so....lol.

I remember Claudine.....and that bubble bath scene. Infact, there was a couple of nude scenes in the PG movie. But like I said in the other thread, this was the 70s where sex and nudity was more appreciated in society. It's a shame how sexually conservative the society has become since the 70s I remember the first time I drove to Chicago on my own and ended up GETTING LOST in the Cabrini Green projects.....lol. I needed gas and had been to the Northside which was shockingly White and segregated and a Black security guard warned me not to stop and get any gas up there because Black people get attacked on the Northside at night, so I drives down the Dan Ryan to what I thought was downtown and ended up smack in the middle of the projects with prostitutes hanging around and helicopters flying around shining lights through windows.....lol. Detroit's housing projects obvioulsy can't be compared to New York's or Chicago's but we had a few high rises of our own that were either torn down or coverted into apartments. Diana Ross and the Supremes actually grew up in the Brewsters Projects on the Near East side...but much of it has been torn down now. Actually I support the IDEA of public housing projects. I think more of them should be built. The only problem is when Roosevelt started them and he passed on, they were ALLOWED to fall into chaos because they weren't properly maintained or secured. Anything will fall apart if you don't properly maintain it...even a mansion.

It sounds like Kanye is going (already went?) off the rails....lol. But after hearing what he said in context, I KIND OF understood what he meant or was trying to say. It was more of a message of responsibility in the sense that Black people couldn't help being taken captive and brought to America as slaves but during those 400 years you had plenty of time to think about it and choose to become I can't find his entire set of tweets dealing with the issue right now, the only thing they're putting on line was his "slavery is a choice tweet". Kanye isn't helping himself with his silliness, but clearly much of his words and actions are taken out of contexts and isolated to make him look more irrational than he already is.

I wouldn't DO what R. Kelly is allegedely doing, but I don't think what he's doing should be demonized. Men using their power and money to attract a harem of young ladies for their sexual pleasures has been going on since the beginning of humanity. What the man is doing is NATURAL. America used to be one of the most sexually liberated nations on the planet with all types of sexual experiments and orgies going on in the 60s and 70s. What Kelly is doing would have barely raised an eyebrown 50 years ago. But since the Regan Era when an avalance of conservative cultural ideology began to sweep across the nation.....along with the AIDS epidemic.......sex and all forms of it outside of traditional marriage began to be demonized again.

Mel Erm nope... your premise was black women emulating white women by changing their appearance.. It doesn't matter to what degree - whether slicking down hair with pomenade or dying your hair blond - and lighting your skin and wearing a YT's suit to be appealing to YT... it's your stance, so degrees don't matter. And it was you who brought NoI into the equation. I'm not sure what you're refering to by "slicking your hair down with pomade".....lol. But if you think I'm unfairly targetting Black women and saying ONLY THEY are trying to be White, ofcourse Black men who relax their hair and texturize it are trying to do the same. During the 30s and 40s and 50s when Black men used to get their hair "conked" was an ever better example. But physically altering your appearance by lightening your skin and bleaching your hair is NO WAY in the same catergory as wearing a suit or speaking proper English. You're trying to muddy up the argument......lol....and it won't work. My point is biology is a hard science and not to be mixed with sociology. Well your point is wrong, because the two go togther. Biology heavily influences sociology. Women are biologically made to produce milk during and after they give birth to their children....which is why MEN DON'T BREAST FEED. If we went with your argument, men would be just as able to breastfeed their children as women.....if society would only allow. K2 Lol..... Man, I really have no idea what point you're making or trying to make. What's your POSITION in this discussion? Troy You wrote in an earlier post that you thought Odell was trying to be a white women. I clearly recall reading that. I don't know, you may have indeed read it.....but you didn't read it from ME....because I never wrote it. The only thing I wrote about Odell was this: _____________________________________________ Troy I forgot to mention back when you sarcastically asked was Odell Beckham trying to be a White woman...... Believe it or not MANY young Black men today are both consciously and subconsciously trying to be White women! They feel being a "man" is too hard and comes with too much stress and frankly, many of them are confused on what manhood is. They look at how White women are pampered in this society and how they seem to be able to say and do anything they want and everyone comes to their rescue and comforts them and does favors for them and growing up watching this......many young Black men have come to the conclusion that life as a WHITE WOMAN is much easier than trying to grow up and be a Black man. __________________________________________________________ Now I do edit most of my posts.....almost always within the first 15 or 20 minutes of posting them. But I stand by my words. If said that i thought Odell was trying to be a White woman then it would STILL be posted up there! I suggest you re-read our entire exchange and perhaps you'll find a statement you may have misunderstood.

Mel Ancient KMT wasn't the beginning of civilization... Did anyone on here say it was? I believe it was just the TAIL END of a much more grand Black civilization that existed millions of years. By the way, cleopatra was african and greek OK? Thanks for telling me what I already knew and , that's not quite the way I would "word" it. African is a race and Greek is a nationality. Perhaps African and Caucasian would be a better choice of words, but yes she was mixed race. What makes some men more aggressive is psychological programming. But like I said, I don't mix biology with sociology.... Human pathological tendencies have too many causes. I suppose the only reason women have babies and almost no men can is due to "psychological programming" too.....lol. Look, psychological programming is only a PART of why men univesally tend to be more aggressive than women. A much greater part of it is the fact that they have a preponderance of testosterone which MAKES ONE more assertive and dominant. 　 "Atavistic residues of aggressive behavior prevailing in animal life, determined by testosterone, remain attenuated in man and suppressed through familial and social inhibitions. However, it still manifests itself in various intensities and forms from; thoughts, anger, verbal aggressiveness, competition, dominance behavior, to physical violence. Testosterone plays a significant role in the arousal of these behavioral manifestations in the brain centers involved in aggression and on the development of the muscular system that enables their realization." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3693622/ Biology HEAVILY INFLUENCES the sociology. 　 　 And that's because there's some kind of glitch on the board - so when you quote a comment- in one thread after just responding to another thread - it merges the quotes no matter where you're responding. It happened to me earlier but I caught and just deleted the response . Huh?????? I'm not sure what you're talking about but again.... I PREDICTED that you would use the fact that both males and females have both testosterone and estrogent (at varying amounts) to prove that there were no differences between men and women.....and you pretty much did so with your above statement. I'm not sure what "glitch" you're talking about. K2 　 I was shocked that (in Papua New Guinea) homosexuality, promiscuity was part of their culture, rampant actually. That young women receive gifts from their fathers to adore their bodies to be attracted to young men for early sex. And that young men are encouraged to engage in oral sex with older men for complete manhood; to avoid keep his sexual desires in check. Homosexuality exists in every society, but in natural conditions probably less than 5% of the population of any society is homosexual. I believe it to be a natural form of birth control to keep the population in check. But Western society takes it and promotes it and encourages it to the point of it being destructive and unnatural. Palestinians, they to be of claim African and Greek descent. Palestinians or PHILLUSTEENS (as they call themselves) are related to the Berber peoples of North Africa. Both groups are mixed today, but originally both groups were WHITE PEOPLE from the Greek islands and were known as "sea people". Apparently, they didn't want an American wearing a Press badge taking pictures of the Prince gambling. Funny you never mentioned anything about a "press badge" or you working for the press UNTIL Mel mentioned her career in journalism....lol. I thought Muslims weren't supposed to gamble....what are casinos doing overthere??

Troy Del my name is not Pioneer, the new information forced me to change my original position. Besides the issue of of RACE....of which this "new information" you have yet to present to me despite me repeated requests...lol.... PLEASE SHARE AN EXAMPLE of me not changing my original position when new information was presented to me.

Del When I was talking about what White women put up with from White men, I was talking COLLECTIVELY. Meaning as a GROUP they tend to put up with their men abusing them, forcing them to have sex with animals, and killing them. Obviously not all of them get killed by their husbands. But collectively, many of them understand this possibility but still continue to pledge their loyalty in the name of White supremacy. Troy If it were up to some Evangelical and religious extemists here in the United States, women HERE would be wearing the exact same thing. Look at the Amish women and Mormons and some of the other extremist groups that live way out in the desert and rural areas of the West and how they have their women dressed like something out of the 1800s. Infact, you can look at most NUNS and how they dress in the Catholic Church and tell that they aren't too far away from what the Muslims are doing in the East.

But males and females have them at different levels with men being testosterone dominant and females being estrogen dominant and THAT causes the sexual differences and the gender differences between most men and women. ......that so many feminists seem NOT to understand, lol.

Because your consciousness doesn't die with your physical body.

Mel ESTROGEN does not make women submissive It's a hormone! Testosterone is a hormone too....and it MAKES MEN MORE AGGRESSIVE. Whether or not estrogen makes women submissive is irrelevant. The fact is men have far more testosterone than women and THAT'S what makes men more aggressive. 　 But here's the kicker women have both our testosterone and estrogen hormones as do men and they both fluctuate in varying levels.. Any imbalance in those hormones then yes we may experience physical problems - but please stop mixing biology with sociology... gender stereotypes in this day and age is just plain ignorant. LMAO!!! The REAL KICKER is the fact that you just made this statement ONLY MINUTES after I PREDICTED YOU WOULD!!!!!! In another thread I said: "Next thing you'll be saying the concept of male and female doesn't exist because ALL HUMANS have both testosterone and estrogen. " 　 https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/5137-pulitzer-prize-winning-emcee/?page=2 AND YOU BASICALLY SAID IT 2 OR 3 MINUTES LATER. IN THIS THREAD....LOL. Man oh man..... I don't understand why I can predict people so much yet I'm still not rich (yet). I don't understand it...lol. 　 and I blame the Ancient Africans for all this bullshit. When we were an egalitarian society , a true civilization and ran the neandarthals into the caves ..life was good. When some of the Africans decided they wanted to be nobility it was the beginning of the end ... we get patriarchy which led to slavery - and coveting and stealing and corruption... ((Pioneer holds up a an index finger)) Uhhhh actually..... Ancient Egypt or Kemet thrived under male kings, but when they started getting female leaders like Cleopatra....that's when the civilization collapsed and ended up being conquered. African society was more egalitarian than Europe...true. But the men were still leaders. We African became more matriarchal.....that welcoming nature of women allowed more outside invaders to come in and take advantage of the resources and eventually conquer the people.

Mel @Pioneer1 Now I know you're just being contrary - - Women shave their unwanted hairs everywhere they don't want it INCLUDING THEIR MUSTACHES AND SIDEBURNS!!! - But yes, beards are rare which is why I said all humans grow sideburns. Some women can grow sideburns that wrap around their ears to the nape of their neck - a Good Waxing helps them out though. I'm not talking about SOME women, I'm talking about MOST women and men. SOME women are sexually attracted to other women, MOST aren't. If you want to start picking out exceptions to every rule pretty soon there won't be any rules or boundaries and no facts would stand. Next thing you'll be saying the concept of male and female doesn't exist because ALL HUMANS have both testosterone and estrogen. As for the Nation of Islam and its followers; their founder looked like a Sicilian (YT) man and some historical accounts actually say he was a yt man. And NoI followers dress just like him. Low cut slick hair is european and suits are a european design. Now maybe if they had shaved bald head and wore robes, then we'd have men looking like their African ancestors but - NoI members look like they've assimilated by emulating YT's design. Our African ascendants didn't wear suits in any of their old paintings or carvings. Nor did they have slick hair - they shave their heads bald. The Rastafarians , the other African religious sect believe we aren't supposed to touch our hair at all. So when you bring NOI into the equation, you're definitely wandering into the trying to look YT territory. I can't speak on why the Nation of Islam wear suits and ties, perhaps they are trying to look professional or presentable to Black people who were raise in Western culture. At any rate, I think a person putting on the clothes of a White person is still a far cry from one who actually ALTERS THEIR PHYSICAL BODY to look like one. In other words, I'm not going to charge a Black person who chooses to wear suit and tie with the same accusation of wanting to be White as someone who goes so far as to actually DYE their hair blonde and use skin lightening cream. One is clearly more extreme and pathological than the other. As far as the Rastafari...... I wouldn't call them an African religion, but more like a Bible believing religions with elements of Christianity and Judaism. The religion didn't begin in Africa but in Jamaica and only makes references to Africa.....Ethiopia in specific.

Well I say it's harmful...... It's not harmful that women want to be treated fairly and protected from abuse.....that's justice. But what is harmful is WHO is pushing feminism and WHY they're pushing it. Feminism in the Black community didn't come FROM Black people, it came FROM racist White people who are attempting to FURTHER manipulate and disrupt and destablize the Black community in general and the Black family in particular. Racist White women who PRETEND to be strong and independent will sit up and tell Black and Brown women and girls that they don't need men in their lives and that they should stand up to their men, confront them, argue with them, fight them, and leave them for the slightest insults. Yet THESE SAME White women after doing all this preaching to Black and Brown females will THEMSELVES go back home to the suburbs and by good little housewives to THEIR husbands! Their husbands will beat them, make them have sex with animals, and even kill them and chop them up but they'll STILL remain loyal to these men! But if a Black woman catches her Black boyfriend having sex with another woman she accuses him of being SATAN INCARNATE! That's what feminism has done to the Black community. Don't forget that over 53% of White women....the same ones pumping their fists in the air claiming feminism.....voted for Donald Trump! Some of the same women that were marching on Washington D.C. in 2017, voted for Trump in 2016! If you go on most college campuses today what you'll see if few Black males but plenty of White males with girls of ALL RACES studying, partying, and having a good time together. This is what "feminism" is really about. Prying women of color out of the arms and away from men of color and bringing them to White men both young and old to enjoy.
