Nah, it it were just about the "thickness" rather than the shape then CURVES wouldn't be so popular. When most men say thick, they are envisioning a voluptuous woman with a large chest and hips and narrow waist. Not a sack of potatos in a skirt.

As I've been observing politics for 20 years or so the thing I've noticed was that since the 90's middle-aged conservative Whites have become more emboldened and militant while Black people as a whole have become more passive and satisfied or uninvolved all together. Where is the AfroAmerican version of the Tea Party? What mass Black socio/political movement has been held since the Million Man March? Also, most Black people tend to focus more on the politician himself rather than the issue that he/she is supposed to be supporting, promoting, or representing and that's the mistake our people have been making for 30 years. In other words, rather than saying we demand Universal healthcare, more good paying jobs with benefits in urban areas, and a public educational system that ensures ALL public schools are of the same quality regardless of regional income......to many of our people just vote for a politican because they're a Democrat or Black and ASSUME that they'll fight for what's best for us.

I'm glad he won, but now as AfroAmericans we need to put together a sound workable AGENDA to present to him to make sure OUR needs and wants are being met this time around. What does it say to the world that we had an AfroAmerican President in the Whitehouse for 8 years and conditions in the Black community still continued to deteriorate?

It's not so much the size as it's the shape.

This is the danger of an over-armed and under-policed or atleast improperly policed society. You have a situation where it's every man for himself and people begin to think and behave like savages. One of the problems with these "stand your ground" laws is that most civilians aren't trained like the police are to determine who is a threat and who is not, nor are they trained on how to de-escalate potentially violent situations. Most gun rights activist promote the idea of everyone having the right to kill in the name of self defense but they're a spiritual aspect to killing another human being that most people aren't prepared to deal with.

This is indeed a sad sad situation, especially for their 3 month old daughter who is now an orphan. Why would a relatively healthy (physically atleast) 25 year old man with wealth and a beautiful family feel so hopeless to want to not only take his own life and that of his woman but to do it infront of an audience. Damn.
