America is that 2nd Roman Empire. The fact that most of the legal and medical fields choose LATIN as their cryptic language and many of their institutions are named after Roman Deities is evidence of this. Western civilization is built off of the Roman Empire, which was built off of the Greek empire, which was built off of the Persian empire, which was built off of the Babylonian empire.

ProfD It doesn't help that AfroAmericans feed into those narratives from their willingness to be everything mentioned or play one on the screen and loud about it too. Some people will do ANYTHING for money. They'd sell out their own mamma's for some cash. This is what happens when you are raised to believe money is an "end" instead of a MEANS to an end. The crazy thing is....most drug addicts actually realize this. Chev I am opinionated when it comes to Black men doing so much of this, however, I still appreciate some aspects of the talent and some positive vibes. I understand how we are being exploited. But in some regards, there are some talented portrayals of Black women and I just do not have a problem with it. This one actor, is just too funny. Ms Renee. Under "ordinary" circumstances OUTSIDE of an organized System of Racism where one of the chief weapons is the E-masculinization of Black men....I wouldn't have a problem with it. To each their own. However when I see an organized attempt to influence Black men to be gay, trans, and dress and act like women and not just be homosexual but be FLAMBOYANT with it....that's the problem. You can work around a White or Asian man and they could be gay as hell. Being "done up" every night by 2 men at a time. But you'd never know it because they'll come to work just as professional and straight laced and NEVER talk about sex or their personal life. If a nigga is gay....he gotta FLAUNT it! "You see these eye balls pointing in yo' direction. Don't play games with me." He's gotta switch and snap his damn fingers and lisp on every word. Puckering his mouth and bucking his eyes at every man he comes across. Even other WOMEN don't do shit like that. They go overboard trying to "out women" even the women! He's LOOKING for attention. Just gotta tell the entire world how big of a pink dress wearing sissy he is. That's a sickness. A psychological sickness. It's not about him being gay or expressing his homosexuality, it's REALLY about him telling the entire world that he's a Black man who's is NOT a threat to the System of Racism. It's really a twisted defense mechanism. By acting like that...he's telling the racists that he's "safe". He's saying he's a Black man you don't have to worry about screwing your mother, sister, or daughter. He's saying he's safe to hire for a job or to dwell in White society because he doesn't pose any sort of masculine threat. Many men also employ this same defense mechanism in prison and in violent neighborhoods to avoid physical conflict.

That used to be a goal years ago, but today I have no desire to go to Brazil or anywhere else in Latin America JUST to see attractive women. For a number of reasons. 2 of which: 1. I used to think Brazil was the spot for hot women and they do have a lot of them however I'm not sure what happened but over the last 15 years or so I've been seeing African women as THEE most attractive women on the planet. Generally speaking I find the women in Sub-Saharan Africa FAR...and I mean FAR...more attractive than Latina women; including the AfroLatinas. Which leads me to my 2nd reason. 2. A lot of Latina women, including a lot of AfroLatinas are racist and think they're better than other Black people and are USED to Black men slobbering over them and thinking they're beautiful. That's becoming a turn off....for real. I don't want to be around women who think they're better than me or are racist as hell against Black folks, even if they don't mind giving me a little play personally. That "superior attitude" is a huge turn off. Too many bruthaz are chasing these non-Black and half-Black women when it really should be the other way around.

Do you know anyone personally who has actually BEEN to these places to verify them? Have you ever seen them YOURSELF to verify them? Has any Divine Entity come to you and verified them?

frankster The article supports my contention that genes are express more less or none at all and this is influence by environment. Problem is...that wasn't your ONLY "contention". You also take the position that everyone shared the same genes just expressed differently: This article contradicts that position: Fraternal or dizygotic twins develop from two different eggs fertilized by separate sperm; they generally share about 50 percent of their genes. Therefore, fraternal twins are essentially like typical brothers and sisters. Fraternal Twins | Psychology Today

-Say what???? richardmurray Can I change my vote? ....shit.

Facts. The appearance and dress of the Black people of South Africa are a testimony in and of themselves to that.

I didn't "leave anything out" of the quote. I quoted exactly what I WANTED to quote. I didn't want to quote the ENTIRE ARTICLE....only the part that proved my point. You quote whichever part of it you like, but I quoted the part that proved MY point.

I don't know.

ProfD I believe homosexuality has existed among Black people to a certain extent for THOUSANDS of years. However it was hidden and not something promoted or paraded around. Like you said, they are trying to "normalize" it and make it more flamboyant....which will INFLUENCE others into that lifestyle even if they aren't naturally inclined to do so. I don't think just image alone can make a person homosexual, but I do believe they can be influenced to engage in homosexual BEHAVIOR...regardless of their sexual preference. Even more so..... Being labeled as "sexual deviants" is just another stigma that the racists are attempting to attach to AfroAmericans. Just like they go around the world trying to convince others that our people are thugs and criminals, they also want to portray them as sissies, transvestites, and sexually immoral deviants who should be avoided at all costs.

You tell me. YOU believe in the scriptures. Either they mean what they say....or they don't.

frankster Yes...not really new info to me - but glad to see you doing the work Question are the eggs from the same woman and the sperm from the same man? If so then the are from the same gene pool.. Doesn't matter. Your position is that EVERYBODY has the same genes, just expressed differently. This article says...not so. Since it's not news to you, are you saying that you knowingly and willingly ignored information that contradicted your own views on the matter? And you are so cognitively dissonant that you think taking shots and insulting someone behind crossed out wording will someone NOT have the same affect as doing it in plain text....lol. Reminds me of a gang member covered in tattoos....wearing a mask over his face to "conceal" his identity...lol.

Acts 17 24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands Matthew 5 22: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. No need to dig up a new verse to counter that one. It's as plain as day.

Well here is some NEW INFORMATION for you that may cause you to rethink: Fraternal or dizygotic twins develop from two different eggs fertilized by separate sperm; they generally share about 50 percent of their genes. Therefore, fraternal twins are essentially like typical brothers and sisters. Fraternal Twins | Psychology Today This is a scientific article stating that even twins in the same womb...under certain circumstances....share only HALF of eachother's genes. What does that say about your theory that "everybody" shares the same genes?

When I saw the name "Humphries" I immediately recognized it as British anyway. If White men want to dress up like women and engage in all types of sexually confused madness, I say let them. I remember back in the 80s Tom Hanks got his start with another White dude in a television show called "Bosom Buddies" where they dressed up as women. They can play all kinds of roles without it influencing their personal lives OR their society. As quiet as it's kept.....many White men are that way already so it's not like it's INFLUENCING them to be that way. The horror movie "The Shining" gave the world a sneak peak into how the very wealthy among Whites throw freak parties that would make Puffy Daddy blush....lol. Judges Doctors Business owners all participating in wild drunken and drug crazed orgies Grown men dressing up in bunny costumes with a latch open in the back so they can have anal sex with eachother. This is and has been COMMON in among them for centuries.

Matthew 5 22: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

I got new for you....lol....White folks aren't the ONLY ones who have a hard time trying to understand it. You tell me how an ugly dude with no teeth in his mouth and sounds like he's got a paper bag over his mouth....can actually be a PIMP and convince women to sell themselves for him and give him the money! I don't know how that happens, but I've seen several dudes who fit that description, DO it....lol. I believe a lot of people are simply BORN with talent because I've been witnessing it all my life. But if I hadn't witnessed it, I probably wouldn't believe it myself because a lot of it defies common "logic". I'm also very Spiritually oriented so I know and understand there is far more to Reality that what we simply see in this physical manifestation. Many people born with certain talents actually developed those skills in other lifetimes but they are displayed as "gifts" or "talents" in this life time! Others were born with keen neurological abilities that allow them to pick up on and learn things much more quickly and thoroughly than the average person. There are some people with photographic memories who can literally remember EVERYTHING that happened to them since childhood. Even the type of clothes THEY were wearing and what others in their environment were wearing on a particular day. I'm not sure if that's impressive....scary....or both, lol.

A friend of mine from work keeps trying to get me to go to South Africa on a visit. He talks about how much I'd love it and wouldn't want to come back. He also loves to send me clips of South African women on the beach like this one: South African Sistas On The Beach Although I love MOST Sub-Saharan African women in all of their diversity, I have to admit that the women in see in the videos he sends me do NOT look like typical African women. I don't simply mean how they dress but even how they look physically. The various lighter skin tones. Being fat with big bellies and cellulite (which I don't mind in most cases....just part of an observation) Hair fixed in various styles with blonde and red highlights. And they come in various ages! Most of the sistaz in THIS particular video seem to be in their 40s, 50s, and 60s.....but wearing bikinis and having a great time! I keep thinking this was something out of the United States because they look so much like Black American women. But their ATTITUDE and how their carry themselves tells me that they aren't American. Too much smiling and having fun with eachother and no White people in sight in most cases. What a contrast to the Madea and "tough strong Black woman" images being promoted and even often praised in the United States. Black women who ENJOY being women.

Speaking of time ON their hands, who's hand is ON your shoulder? Is it that same guy who you used to catch rides to the grocery store with before yall's falling out???? Fingernails look kinda long for a dude....lol.

James 4 17: "So any person who knows what is right to do but does not do it, to him it is sin." So the question....is correcting someone you believe is in error the RIGHT thing to do?

Why do you need to "call me" a cock sucker, when I'm in the hood with YOU???? Think about that one.....you'll get it in a minute or two, lol.

Caregiver, huh??? He looks like the type of guy who'll CHANGE a person's diapers and sniff them at the same time....lol. You're the first woman I've EVER heard say anything critical about Idris Elba. On or offline....lol.

As usual, some are....some aren't. Collective thought is a detriment in some cases. Especially if you're part of a group of people who don't think much or tend to engage in a lot of foolish and self-destructive thinking.

Like Umbrarchist said, the United States has a problem with BOTH. It's been like that for decades, but BOTH problems seem to have intensified over the past 30 or 40 years. Especially since....as ProfD pointed out....the U.S. started shutting down it's public mental hospitals and using "cruel treatment" as an excuse to do so. So some patients were mistreated and abused. That happens in most major facilities. Since they don't want to house, feed, and treat these people......is being dumped on the streets to end up homeless, locked up in prison, or blown down by the police who aren't trained how to deal with people having a mental crisis, MORE humane than being locked up in a facility?
