In order to survive racism you must first RECOGNIZE it and where it's coming from. Much of the racism you'll encounter in society won't even come from White people! Many Asians, Arabs, Latinos, and even other Blacks are racist and anti-Black people too! This is especially noticeable in the American Asian community. Sometimes I think White leaders are grooming Asians to maintain White/Light supremacy in society. When I look at the Asian American community, many of them have adopted many the suble, snobbish, and smug expressions of racism and anti-Blackness that even most Whites now know not to exhibit! Don't get me wrong, I've met many Asians who were very cool, open minded, and fair. But there are some who almost seem to worship White people and White culture. In a sense...many of them are "out Whiting" White people in terms of attitude and behavior. They've adopted and embraced much of the culture and attitudes many White people abandoned generations ago. Many Asian parents encourage their children to study classical European music and history and use it as a standard of civility.

Notice I said if the COUNTRY improves under his Presidency...it would still be a lose situation. The way things are structured in the United States, things could very well improve for the majority of people in this nation (including a lucky few Blacks) while STILL leaving most AfroAmericans behind. If you look at the 90s under Bill Clinton, more Black people were appointed to positions of political power in the United States than at anytime since Reconstruction, but at the same time more Black men went to prison than at anytime in U.S. history. The Black family also declined faster during the 90s than during any time in our history. So while things got much better for SOME Black people, conditions as a whole deteriorated for most Black people. Even among those who did good under the Clinton Administration....many of their CHILDREN aren't enjoying anywhere NEAR the success their parents had. They're having a harder time finding jobs, buying houses, and even getting a decent education than their parents. A lot of Black parents can't understand why they are having so many problems without realizing that society is so much different today than it was back in the 90s. The stock market decline of 2008 ereased a lot of the economic gains Black people made in the 90s.....while White America remained relatively unscathed. So things getting better in the United States in general doesn't necessarily translate to things getting better for AfroAmericans. -An improvement in the stock market will not help most Black people. -Donald Trump "gangstering" corporations to keep their white-collar workforce in the U.S. while still letting the industrial and manufacturing jobs go overseas like he did with the Carrier deal....will not help most Black people. -Getting tough on immigration or beng soft on immigration will not help Black people one way or another. Honestly, the only good thing that could come out of a Trump Presidency would be conditions deteriorating so bad to the point that it pisses Black people off and force them into some sort of civil action. It's hard to win in a game that is actually being set up to destroy you. Sometimes it's best to just quit the game altogether.

As long as Black people refuse to accept the fact that their communities are being poisioned on purpose and are being driven to violence and madness....the killing will continue.

Xeon Lol. It was a COMMENT.....not a prophecy....or even a declaration. Notice in my very next statement I even entertained the possiblity that he COULD be elected by saying, "Even if Trump does get in......."

From what I can see so far, a Trump Administration would be a lose/lose situation for not only Black America but for Latinos, women, and the poor of all races. If the country does poorly under his Presidency, the conditions obviously get worse. However if the country manages to actually improve under his Presidency, you'll never be able to accuse a bigotted White man of racism or sexism again. No one will want to hear it. They'll all point to Trump and say, "Well, they called HIM racist and sexist but look how great he was for our country...so just shut up!" Instead of being condemned for their intolerance, every bigot who seeks a position of leadership will be "given a chance". Racism, sexism, and fascism fill flourish under that scenario.

"and the winner is a "pussy grabber" surrounded by the assholes he's appointing to his cabinet and staff" You know..... I've looked at this statement over and over again and I KNOW there's a good joke in it just waiting to be put together.....but somehow my creativity just hasn't quite formulated it yet, lol. On a more serious note, Jill Stein is spearheading a campaign to recount the votes in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania and the Clinton team is finally getting on board. If fraud and irregularities are found and Clinton actually won those states, she could very well take Trump's spot. However I suspect if that happens, Trump's supporters would raise all types of hell that would make the anti-Trump protests we've been seeing look like Macy's Parade.

Troy If you agree with Cynique about the double standard then you'll have to agree with me too because I'm the first to admit it and bring it up. There is INDEED a double standard between men and women and it's well warranted because men and women tend to had different desires when it comes to mating. Most healthy men tend to want to spread their seed around to as many women as possible to spread their genes. Most women tend to want to hold only one good solid man that can rely on to protect and provide for her and her offspring. Those different desires lead to different expectations among the sexes that has led to that double standard. Sexuality in this society becomes even more confusing when race is taken into consideration. We're living in a society that accuses Black men of being sexual brutes and potential rapists to be fears, and has historically condemned sex as a sin, in some cases the original sin, and as something low down and base on the level of an animal. But at the same time as we progress from a sexually repressed age to a more enlightened age of freedom and open mindedness where sex is seen as recreationals and even therapudic......now you see more and more Whites trying to claim their sexuality. So unlike the past where there was a blanket condemnation of sex as a necessary evil, today there's a dichotomy to be dealt with in the Westerns psyche. On one end this society has to condemn Black sexuality as hyper aggressive and brutish, while on the other uplifting White sexuality as a form of therapy psychological relief. 　 Cynique Both men and women tend to frown upon women who sleep around, but women tend to be the harshest and most vocal. While a man who sleeps around is said to be confident and full of himself, a woman who sleeps around is claimed to have LOW self esteem and allows herself to be "used" and taken advantage of. But it's usually not men who are saying this...7 times out of 10 it's women sitting on the couch gossipping among themselves about a particular woman. One thing you ARE right about....men generally don't want to hear about a woman's past sexual relationships. It reminds me of the joke Chris Rock told when he said that no matter how many partners a woman may have had before....it'll always be "too many" for the guy she's currently with.

I celebrated Thanks Giving as a kid because my family did. When I became an adult...I stopped. I didn't stop for political or religious reasons, I just didn't have an interest in it. If I don't find an interest or relevance to something....I don't do it...plain and simple. I don't knock others who DO celebrate, I'll even come over your home for a meal or two if you invite me....but I just don't get all "into it" like so many others do. As far as I'm concerned it's just another day. I don't even celebrate my birthday that much. Others tend to celebrate it more than I do. Friends and family be urging me on to get with the program and atleast ACT excited.....lol.

I saw this story the other day. It is indeed sad. Apparently there was some sort of verbal exchange between them going into an establishment and coming out. I don't want to sound like I'm taking the side of the White suspect who killed the young man however as I get older I often look at myself and wonder how able will I be able to stand up to some of these young thugs and 'hoods if God blesses me to make it to 60, 70s, or even 90. Again...not blaming the young man or his killer....I wasn't there so I don't know WHAT really went down. But I do know that young people don't respect older people like they used to. Older people are routinely disrespected and cussed out by young people of all races. It's not something you see everyday....but you DO see it more today than say a couple decades ago. There was a time young men didn't step to older men even if they knew they could easily take them. They just didn't do it. Older men could cuss and yell all they wanted and the young cats would just smile and take it out of respect.....but today. Today a 15 year old may just knock a 60 year old man out because he can, and take it as a joke. If I were 60 or 70 and had some heat on me, there is no way I'd let a teenage young man step to me whether he was armed or not. But what I find really disturbing was reports that the man shot that boy and then went to have dinner at a friends house like nothing happened. How can you eat after directly after taking another human being's life? The same think happened with the shooter down in Florida who killed the young man for playing his music too loud....he kills him and then goes with his girlfriend to have dinner. Then you go Dylan Roof who goes to Burger King for a meal after killing 8 or 9 people. What's up with these demons?

Troy Lol....I can't argue with you on Tiger Woods. That dude was/is just plain confused. Ofcourse Usain is not a historian or sociologist to study the marital and sexual habits of various human populations, but he's traveled around this planet enough and is intelligent enough to recognize that there IS a clear difference between how Black (Jamaican) men relate to women and how White (British) men relate to women in their respective societies. He's comfortable with who HE is, and doesn't seem to be burdened with the inferiority complex so many Black men in this society have (even the wealthy and athletic) who feel that they have to live up to White expectations of morality and decency. Most NBA and NFL players like fools get married AFTER becoming millionaires only to love most of their wealth through divorce and lawsuits....and much of this can be attributed to letting others (usually their White coaches, managers, and agents) tell them how to live their lives instead of using their own brains and living by their own terms. I'm not saying that Usain is some sort of social revolutionary trying to start a movement. You're right he IS the typical athlete with a lot of dough and a sexual appetite. However what sets him apart and what I admire is his frankness in proclaiming the virility of the Jamaican (Black) man and how our ways are different and it's just who we are. He's not trying to hide it or "explain" is behavior apologetically, he's saying it bluntly and as a matter of fact which in my opinion is bold and admirable. Infact, I see this as more than just a horny Black man justifying his right to have as much coochie as he wants, I believe it's actually a huge step towards self identity. I believe Black people and especially Black men finally recognizing the fact that there ARE moral/ethical differences between us and White people actually puts us that much closer to reclaiming our own identity as a people and will go far to solve the problems of dysfunction that exists with in the Black family structure and male female relationships. When we as a group finally recognize and accept that we ARE different from White people on a psycho-social level then we'll stop trying to imitate them and their social customs and design and develp ones that will work for us. 　 　 　 Cynique I have news for you, lol. It's not the men who shame women for sleeping around.... OTHER WOMEN DO! I think much of what you said about women who sleep various men being labled as tramps is more of a projection of your own thoughts about women who do this than it being the reality of how most men think. If a man calls a woman a whore or a slut, usually her sexual behavior is the LAST thing on his mind and her sexual habits most likely had nothing to do with the insult. Again, women are the ones most likely to lable a woman with a large sexual appetite a "whore" or "tramp"....not the men. Ofcourse there's a double standard and I'd go as far as to say that it's unequal, but much of it is totally fair. How? Because most men WANT to be polygamous while most women DON'T. No one is preventing women from sleeping around if they so wish, but most by nature don't want to sleep around. Most women are programed by nature to only be with and have interest in one man at a time. I don't think that's strange or evil, it's just nature. I and most men respect this. Likewise women shoujld have the same respect for men and understand that it's in the nature of most men to want to be polygamous. I'm personally not asking for a monogamous OR a polygamous based society, I'd rather a society of FREEDOM where everyone has the right to choose whatever kind of relationship they'd like to be in whether it's a gay relationship, a polygamous relationship, a monogamous relationship, or single and by themselves. No "societal norms" to enforce or encourage. Just leave people alone and let them form their relationships how they please and THAT would make me happy.

Well I have to admit that I haven't been up on the situtation in Flint as I should be. Partly because of some public concerns in my own neck of the woods that I and others have been preoccupied with. But also partly (probably mostly) because of the seeming indifference that a lot of people in Flint THEMSELVES seemed to have about the crisis. We went up there and tried to help people who were busy in the mall shopping for tennis shoes and clothes while so many of the children of the same community had rashes, emotional problems, and other symptoms from the lead contamination. It's clear as a bell that the poisoning was intentional. Even if the Republican leaders in the state capital didn't initiate it with the intent to poison the city, the fact that they knew the water was poisoned for months and STILL allowed the people to consume it without so much as a warning is just as damaging. But I expect that from racist Republicans. What I DIDN'T expect was the indifferent and apathetic attitude of so many of the residents who took that "So what we 'spoze to do about it?" attitude after their children were poisoned. It's hard to feel sorry for people who can still party, go shopping, and shoot eachother down in the street....basically business as usual....after their own children were poisoned. Nationwide....... Black people have known...or atleast had access to the knowledge...that their communities were being poisioned for decades. What steps have they taken to rescue themselves from this plot? How many Black people are studying agriculture and irrigation and medicine so that they can cure themselves and their children and secure a decent living environment for themselves? It's one thing to be a victim once, or maybe twice....you have a natural right to get mad and blame the assailant. But if you're repeatedly being victimized over and over again, pretty soon you're going to have to look at yourself and what YOU are doing wrong that you constantly find yourself in this situation. What else will happen? Unless Black people change their mentality or God changes it for us.....the same shit will continue to happen over and over again.

During an interview with GQ magazine Usain Bolt said something that most Black athletes don't have the guts to say. He challenged the White/Western standards of morality and social ethics by plainly and openly proclaiming that it's part of his culture to have sex with many women. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/more-sports/usain-bolt-culture-asked-womanizing-article-1.2874442 I've been saying for years that MOST (not all) Black men are polygamous and it's part of our nature. It's nothing to "admit" because admission implies guilt, and this is certainly not something to be ashamed or guilty of. If anything, it's a sign of mental and physical health to be the epitome of what nature INTENDED for you to be. It's also a sign of strength and character to buck current social trends especially hypocritical ones that claim sexual "freedom" while at the same time condeming most of those who chose to exerecise it. I have MUCH respect (or in his home of Jamaica we'd say 'nuff rispec...lol) for Usain for publicly stating this. If Tiger Woods.....a well known womanizer...had done the same thing instead of trying to get married and "settle down" in an attempt to imitate his middle aged White colleagues, I would have had more respect for him now. I'm not saying that marriage itself or even monogamy is against our nature. Black people were getting married in Africa before the White race even existed. But the TYPE of marriage structure and the way men and women are expected to interact with eachother in general in Western society is the problem. It's born out of the confusion of a Western psyche that exists even among self proclaimed atheists that condemn sex as the original sin in the subconscious while proclaiming sexual freedom consciously, and since most Black men don't suffer from that subconscious guilt and thus don't have that same dichotomy of confusion....they don't understand the "inappropriateness" of polygamous sexual relationships so frowned upon among so many Whites. I've said for years that Black men need to be who WE are and we need OUR OWN standards to live by. We can't live by another man's standards and expect to be happy or successful. Happiness and success may come to SOME Black men who attempt to live by White/Western standards of morality and ethics, but not for most because much of their standards goes against our very nature as Black men.

I'm learning more and more that the average White man's idea of success and what brings him happiness and satisfaction isn't necessarily the same as yours, mine and other men of color and especially Black men. My idea of success includes happiness, good health, peaceful environment, ect..... Not recklessly oppressing people. I haven't met one Black man with an inborn desire to rule and dominate other races to the point that he'd sacrifice his own life and that of his family just to see that accomplished. But many White men have that desire. Which is why so many of them voted for Trump in THIS election and it's also why so many voted for Reagan in previous elections even after he cut off the economic life line for millions of them when he gutted the cities and the industrial sector. They don't mind taking the economic and social "hits" that a very traditionalist right-wing government will bring as long as it means that Blacks and Browns remain on the bottom. Instead of voting for a politician who would provide decent paying jobs and healthcare so that EVERYBODY has the opportunity to live a good life........ They'd rather live in a trailer park in dire poverty eating mayonaise sandwiches while trying to support a family on $300 a month as long as they know most Blacks and Hispanics are doing much worse. Most of the people who voted for Trump could care less about jobs, healthcare, and civil liberties....even their own. All they want is to "take their country back" by pushing that "nigga" out of the Whitehouse along with the liberal "nigga lovers" who helped put him in. If THAT is accomplished, then as far as they're concerned there ARE NO PROBLEMS.

Trump is helping people who've helped and supported him. Maybe Democrats and Liberals should take a page from his play book. Trump's cronyism and nepotism is nothing new, wealthy White males at all levels of the government as well as business sector have been engaging in this type of behavior since their establishment of this nation. Trump has just become more open and bold with what was already happening. Cynique, I don't know where you're gonna go. Like War said....."The World Is A Ghetto".....lol.

I'll tell you why....... Black voters didn't come out for Hillary for the same reason most of them didn't come out for Trump...NEITHER ONE of them really offered us anything! Atleast Trump would mention the Black community in a rather facetious if not condescending way in passing: "And the Blacks...ya know....the Blacks have it so rough now" "I mean come on, ya live in the ghetto and have rotten schools, what the hell have you got to lose" Now does Trump give a damn about "the Blacks"? HELL no....and no one with good sense expects him to. But Hillary Clinton never offered a decent alternative She never offered the Black community anything of substance like solid plans to rebuild the inner cities, promises of universal healthcare, or promises to bring back good paying manufacturing jobs to urban areas, ect...... All we heard from her during her campaign was just more of the same rhetoric we hear from most Democrats today which is a focus on women's issues, LGBT issues, and at the very end if at all Black issues are lumped under the label of "diversity" along with others like Muslims and Latinos. Black people had a right NOT to be very enthused about the prospect of her becoming President. Her apathy and indifference to Black America was louder than Trump's bigotry.

I think folks in the Deep South have more to fear from American terrorism after the election... There is a higher concentration of Black people in the deep South than any other region in this nation. If they are on par with or in some cases OUT NUMBER the racists in thier community but still sit back and cry and play victim as a handful of racists burn their churches and vandalize thier property....it's hard to feel sorry for them. I've lived in both Georgia and Lousiana and I KNOW how violent Black folks down there can be toward EACHOTHER, so it's not like they're a bunch of saints and pacifists. Again, if they want to lay down and crying "Why....oh why" with snot running out their noses while White racists ride around attacking them, then.......

Well..... I think this is going to be a very interesting 4 years to say the least...lol. I just think it's funny how conservative Republicans started talking about voter fraud and rigged elections but now that Trump has been elected you can't find ONE Democrat who even mentions the possibility of voter fraud. This shows you the difference between Republicans and Democrats and why the Republicans continue to "out play" the Dems and continue to win. Democrats love to play by the rules, Republicans play to win.

No, I hadn't. But now I have. So let me get this straight........... The author is angry because Black slave women were "inaccurately" being portrayed as having been raped by White men, and even angrier because Black men were shown coming to their rescue??? Excuse my language but what kind of BACKWARD fucked up bullshit "logic" is that????? Man! I've heard many women and even a few historians complain about the realities of sexual abuse NOT being portrayed or addressed but never have I heard someone come out and actually take issue with it BEING addressed and claim it didn't happen! As far as I'm concerned, THIS statement says it all about the mindset of it's author: "This is the story that deserves to be told, not one that disseminates archaic and damaging myths that cast black men as courageous saviors and black women as helpless victims." Apparently, she feels that Black men being courages and saving their own people has got to be a "myth". It couldn't have really happened. Black men? Black men loving their women and children so much that they were willing to fight and die for them???? Naw....... According to the author of THAT article, "that must have been a fabrication by some Black man trying to compensate for his own guilt or inferiority complex at the expense of Black women or something." Half of the article features her contradicting herself by condemning the portrayal of Black men as warriors and saviors while just a few paragraphs down hoping for more movies that portray the resillience and fighting spirit of slaves. Dr Alexander's irrational article STILL doesn't change my position that this movie shouldn't be evaluated for it's historical content. She has a doctorate in the field of history so ofcourse she's going to notice every single "historical" inaccuracy, but she shouldn't assume everyone is going to look at a movie from the view of a historian as herself. Movies were made for entertainment and it's up to the audience to do their own research for their own educational benefit. However I believe her criticisms of this film actually betray a more ulterior motive..... That her real problem is LESS about the historical inaccuracies of the film itself, but MORE about her lack of confidence and respect for Black men and their historical accomplishments.

Troy Ofcourse, I'm not talking about the dogs who kidnap and sell young girls or turn them on to drugs and use them as sex slaves and other demonic forms of abuse. Not only DON'T I support them, I support their incarceration and a violent punishment as a deterrence for others who may consider doing the same. But yes, in a way the other form IS what I'm talking about although I'd prefer ALL levels of prostitution be as safe and regulated as the high-priced call girl industry. Even those offering $10 blow jobs should be afforded protection from abuse from either pimps or clients as well as subjected to frequent testing for disease and adequate healthcare. I support a sexually free society because I believe it would be less violent, prostitution and other free expressions of sexuality are just a part of that. But I have more respect for a successful pimp or madame in this society than I do for most managers of fast food operations because they have to be smarter than the typical manager of a "legitimate" industry just to survive and be successful. The manager of a structured environment like a resturant derives most of their power from the authority that comes with their position. Anyone stepping into that position would command the same respect. All they have to do is step in and maintain the structure or system already built before them. On the other hand, people who run underground operations have to build their own networks and use their intelligence and social skills to maintain order and respect from those under them....all WITHOUT relying on the police or other authorities to back them up if things go wrong. That takes a special type of intelligence and skill that you don't learn in school nor from an already established position. Cynique Sexuality and the suggestion of sex is used in society to sell things and attract people's attention, but sex ITSELF isn't. As Troy and I were discussing above, prostitution is STILL illegal and there isn't a school in the United States offering a 'sex education" class that actually TEACHES the students how to have sex. It'll all peripheral knowledge that skirts around actual intercourse itself. Which is why nudity let alone the actual act of having sex is strictly forbidden on public airwaves in the United States while it's readily seen in other Western nations like Canada and Germany. But truth be told, Western society as a whole is STILL quite sexually immature as compared to ancient societies. The United States WENT through a sexual revolution in the 60s but then reverted backwards in the 80s under Reagan and the threat of AIDS.

Troy I think you're right. I've asked myself these past couple years...... Are the cases of police brutality and Black men being killed by cops actually, going up? Or is it that because everyone has celly's and can capture things on video and put it out for the world ,we're just SEEING more of what's actually BEEN going on for years? The killing of Black men by the police certainly ain't nothing new. It was going on a few generations ago in large numbers. I remember an episode of Sanford and Son (back in the 70s) when a doctor told Fred that some sort of disease was the #1 killer of Black men and Fred said he thought it was the police!

Pat Buchanan was one of the most prominent politicians to openly speak of race and the "culture war" that he said was taking place in the United States. I find it ironic that the same traditionalists and conservatives who pride themselves on the "freedoms" they claim America has also at the same time insist on preserving the Western European CULTURE and TRADITIONS to the exclusion of others. But to answer your question...... I think the upcoming election will IGNITE it. I used to think that if Trump got in his policies would be so extreme that it would force the masses to revolt. Now I believe that is a possibility, but even if Clinton get's elected....those who are behind Trump will be so enraged about it that they will become violent and cause a revolt also. So either way it won't be pretty........ BTW...... I've been meaning to tell you for quite some time to quit talking about how you're not going to "be around" to see this or that. You may be in your 80s, but NOBODY knows when they're time is going to come. You can go in your 80s....you can go in your 20s....you can even die while still in the womb. The election is only a couple weeks away, then the inauguration in January and the months it takes for any President's policies to take effect so with God's grace we'll ALL be around to witness what happens afterward. But if you're THAT concerned of what may happen as a result of this election..... You can give me your address and I'll hop on I-94 and come over to Illinois "protect" you for a few weeks....lol.

Troy A pimp....like a madam....is nothing more than a MANAGER/PRODUCER of prostitutes. Some are good and protective, some are bad and abusive. If people in this society weren't trained to look at sex as evil and disgusting, then they wouldn't see prostitution and all the various forms of it as bad or exploitive either. Western civilization glofiries violence but demonizes sex. I'm sure the managers at Walmart and your local diners are exploiting far more vulnerable women than any pimps in the area. Cynique I didn't say I admired pimps, but I do have a certain amount of respect for them and their psychological and sociological skills. Perhaps if White men legalized it THEN it would become a "legitimate profession" and socially acceptable to all those who align their morality with his.

I've heard the same things about some historical inaccuracies in the movie. My take on it is.....who cares? There were more lies and historical inaccuracies in Eminem's "8 Mile" movie, yet I don't recall one critic bringing it up. I wonder did they do a fact check of Schindler's List to see how much of THAT was historically accurate, or maybe one of Mel Gibson's The Patriot? This wasn't a science project, it's entertainment BASED on a true story and should be treated as such. Enjoy it for what it's worth and learn the overall historical lesson. As far as Nate's rape allegation........ He was acquitted, so legally speaking he's an innocent man. What reason do they have to keep calling this man a rapist or bringing it up except to smear his reputation and tarnish his and the movie's image? I don't condone rape at all, nor do I know the full details of this particular case but..... When you have these young women who get drunk and hang out with young men on college campuses doing all kinds of sexual acts with them and then regret it in the morning....is this really rape? What responsibility do many of these young women have in putting themselves in these situations? And never mind that if the girl in question was indeed White that there is a HISTORY of White women who voluntarily have sex with Black men only to cry rape later.

　 Cynique How about you guys on this board. Is it your experience that men make lewd comments about females during bull sessions?? I'm sorry I didn't even see this question. I didn't notice it until Troy responded to it. To be honest, me and most of the boys/men I grew up around did NOT make comments like Trumps...bragging about actually assaulting women or forcing themselves on women. Black men may brag about how much pussy they're GETTING, but not about "taking" it or forcing themselves on women. I'm not saying Black men don't sexually assault women or force themselves, but I haven't once heard a Black man talk about grabbing a woman or forcing a woman into sex and those who do these things definitely don't openly brag about them with other Black men. There is often atleast one brother around who will threatened to do great harm to a man who goes that route. With Black males it tends to be the other way around.... We think it's cooler to have game so tight that women forth themselves on YOU and chase after YOU. The most graphic parts of Black men talking to eachother may revolve around how good the sex was or describing the body parts of a woman, but no sexual violence. But this has been MY personal experiences around other brothers...... Troy I wouldn't say Bill is worse than Donald or even as bad. Bill Clinton was (is?) a WOMANIZER......a man who just likes to bang a lot of women and he uses his charisma and power to do it. Where as Trump in my opinion feels he's ENTITLED to a woman's body. He clearly believes in bullying women or using force to get what he wants whether it's money or women or respect in general. You'd never hear of Bill Clinton walking in on beauty pagent contestants while they're dressing, or grabbing women in the crotch, or trying to grope on women he didn't know on an airplane like Trump.....lol. Bill believes in using his charisma to get the coochie, while Trump believes in TAKING it...big differences. Which is why although I may detest a rapist, I actually have respect for a successful pimp. All I think what Donald Trump is doing....is once again doing what Black leaders SHOULD be doing...which is calling attention to the petty social rules that have been plaguing the working class male for decades. Just like Black leaders should have BEEN calling foul and accusing the election system of being rigged...because often times it IS rigged against Blacks and Democrats....but instead Donald Trump and the Republicans of all people are doing it; Black males are often denied jobs and fired from jobs and locked out of much of modern American society because we haven't been "trained" out of flirting with women and making open sexual comments...so why the hell are rich White men the ones talking about this???? It's common in our culture, especially among the poor and uneducated Black males to flirt heavey with women and hit on women. There are few rules in the "game", and guess what.....I see nothing wrong with that. Poor White men have been crying over the feminization of America and the American male when it reall should be BLACK men doing most of the complaining because this effects us much more than effects them. I don't know how many Black men's careers have been ruined over sexual harassment charges and sex offender lables on their record for behavior that would have been totally accepted just a couple generations ago.

Saw the movie a few days ago. It was pretty good, but it could have been better. I don't like how this movie as well as other "slave movies" like DJango and 12 Years a Slave always INSINUATE slave masters raping and abusing Black women but never actually show it in it's brutality. But it wasn't bad at all.
