It's about time we agreed on SOMETHING...lol. "Gimme five...." If you wanted to treat ME back in the 70s, 80s, or 90s....just take me to a Church's Chicken and buy me some of that greasy ass chicken, a couple corn on the cobs, and a back of their, jalapeno peppers. I'll shovel snow, cut grass, rake leaves, beat somebody up....lol....whatever you needed....lol.

Almost forgot..... Who REALLY excelled in the schools I went to were the Jewish students! I grew up in a neighborhood that was still transitioning from almost all Jewish to nearly all Black from the 60s to the 90s.....lol. All the Jewish students DID was study. And when they left the public schools they would get on a bus and spend hours at a PRIVATE school strictly to learn Jewish traditions. This was every day!

I miss Church's Chicken back in Detroit and Bojangles Chicken when I used to live down South....lol.

Troy Based on both observation and experience, with the vast majority of people...you tend to excel wherever you put your focus and most of your energy. I didn't have too many Asians in my class growing up but we did have a few. Based on observation they DID tend to do better in math and a few other subjects....but they failed miserably when it came to social interactions and they were TOTALLY absent on the sports teams in both Middle School and High School. We didn't even know where they lived, because we didn't see them walking around or riding around the neighborhood on bikes like us. They didn't attend any parties and if there was a school event they were very awkward when it came to interacting with anyone except other Asians. I'm not talking about recent Asian immigrants either, but kids who were born and raised in the U.S. and even their parents seems to speak pretty good English so they were thoroughly integrated into American culture. They were just socially inept in many cases. Black kids did good socially and in sports because that's where most of us put our focus and energy in. Asian kids did good in academics because that's where they put most of THEIR energy and focus in. Interestingly, the Korean and Chinese kids DID tend to get good grades but the Filipino kids did about the same as the Black and White kids. Some excelled....others failed and had to stay behind a grade, lol. In my opinion, school isn't JUST about book learning but how to interact with people...especially people of different backgrounds. Learning how to handle conflict, approach and be successful with the opposite sex (or same sex if....lol), and how to get along in life in general. To be a well rounded person, you need BALANCE.

I'm wondering what their strategy was in CAVING to the Republicans and opening it back up? Did they think once the premiums shot up sky high that this would cause so much of an outrage that the public would then turn against the Republicans? If anything, this will probably have the opposite effect by looking even weaker than they already do. They're gonna get the blame for the high insurance premiums because the public is going to feel THEY had an opportunity to prevent it.

Yeah? Well if she's not crazy why does she have a split personality and has 2 different handles for this one site? Wait a minute..... She's just as much of an asshole as aka Contrarian as she was as Cy.......NEVER MIND, lol.

I hit the Lotto for a multi-million dollar jackpot! I decided to take the rest of the week off and celebrate.....lol. Want something from the store?

ProfD I know all of that now. Except for the being from Indiana part....lol. However even as an adult, I've often wondered was Sanders a Confederacy sympathizer and used that persona to not just promote his product but to endear people to the Confederate past. Kind of like the Dukes Of Hazzard television show and how they would incorporate the Confederate flag and named their car the "General Lee".

Troy Ok, so since you say I misinterpreted that passage and took it out of context..... Then tell us what that passage REALLY means! Lol....if I distorted the meaning, what is the ACTUAL meaning as it was intended?

So was the Rev. Jim Jones .....and look what happened to the people who trusted HIM.

Was your community in Sandusky Ohio? There seems to be a lot of Black events in Columbus Ohio lately. On the African Diaspora Channel I saw there was some sort of Black Expo there either last year or earlier this year. I actually LIVED in Columbus Ohio for a brief period of time at the advise of a friend. I didn't see a lot of Black people outside of a pretty sizable Somali refugee population; but that was over 20 years ago.

Hellll nah...... If you're bored this afternoon, slip on those slippers and take your ass outside and fuck with that hornet's nest. If it doesn't have icicles on it....lol.

Kimberly Thanks for that post and the information. It says your location is in Alabama....but you're promoting events all over Ohio, lol. Lorain is near Cleveland, if memory serves me correct. Those of us from Detroit and Flint used to go there to the Cedar Point amusement park....lol.

Troy Glory was always a favorite movie of mine since day one, and my love for it only increased after learning more about the history of the 54th Regiment and the role Black troops played in the Civil War. Word is.... The North was actually LOSING the war until Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation and the enlistment of Black troops to help fight. That was the real turning point. Part of me wishes they'd do a movie on the role Black soldiers played in the CONFEDERATE Army! Maybe Ryan Coogler will ramble around in his creativity closet and find something for me....lol.

COME ON G MONEY.....I mean Troy! First you say you're NOT a Biblical scholar...but then literally in the SAME SENTENCE you turn around and accuse me of "distorting the intended meaning"! If you're not a scholar, how do you KNOW what the intended meaning of this passage is?

Ofcourse not. Now, why would you ask someone who is.....what do you call me...."incorrigible"?....a question like that???? I barely passed Algebra....lol. As far as the Asian academic superiority stereotype...... This may be true if Asians (as a race) were to be compared to AfroAmericans (as an ethnic group) or White Americans (as a group) However it would NOT be true if Asians were compared to Nigerian Americans (as an ethnic group) or many other African-American ethnic groups in the United States. Africans tend to earn the title of being academically superior even to Asians.

Troy Damn! That's beyond robbery....that's satanic. They said that after the "deal" that was made in Congress to end the shutdowns....that insurance premiums on some plans would increase. I didn't know that increase would take place THIS quick though. I thought the entire purpose of Obamacare or the "Affordable" Care Act was to keep the premiums low and affordable.

frankster I remember a while back when they changed the signs to KFC. A few people said the same thing. That they had to stop calling it "Kentucky Fried Chicken" sense they were no longer selling actual chicken, lol. I'm not sure how true this is. I believe they ARE selling false meat and genetically modified chicken and other foods, but I'm not sure if that's the reason they changed the signs. KFC sounds a bit more "hip". I wouldn't be surprised if McDonalds eventually changed there name to "MickyD's" in the near future....lol. When I was a kid, when I heard the name "Colonel Sanders".....I wondered with him being from Kentucky -which army was he a "colonel" in and in which war did he fight? Was he trying to glorify the Confederate military with that title?

Troy Pioneer is incorrigible. I don’t expect him to understand this one iota. But I saw something different in you, Frankster perhaps I was wrong Well, like my great Aunt used to say while sitting in her rocking chair and dipping her snuff: Everybody can't be telling the same lie! LOL

Maybe you can adopt Mel and Chevdove. @Chevdove @Mel Hopkins Nah, because then that would lead to incestuous thinking...lol. Joking with somebody about "checking her review" just doesn't hit the same or even sound right if she's your SISTER or even a female cousin, lol .....but they can hang around the house if they want, lol. Troy “Da Bears” always reminds me of best Saturday Night Live skit it has been 40 years since Chicago has won a championship. That skit was supposed to be a play on the dialect of supposed "Chicagoans" and how they talk. However it's only the older White Chicagoans who talk like that, because they sound the same in Michigan. What I find interesting is how SOUTHERN most Black folks in Chicago sound, regardless of generation. Talk to the average young brutha from Chicago and you'd think you were talking to somebody from Mississippi or Georgia. Dude are you serious? If so, I think you’re being overly sensitive. Have you considered that my disagreement with you are based upon the nature of your comments I guess at the most basic level is your use of stereotypes particularly as they relate to the social constructive race. I'd consider it if it was an anomaly and only happened every now and then. I could see you disagreeing with me HALF the time given we tend to come from 2 different regions, 2 different socio-economic backgrounds, and there seems to be a slight age difference....all of which I usually take into consideration when dealing with others. But if you seem to disagree with 90% of the positions I take on any given subject, that's a little unusual. I'm sure there are CRACK ADDICTS you've come across and interacted with in your life that you didn't disagree with as much as you do with me....lol. I'm sure there are SCHIZOPHRENICS you've worked around and interacted with in your life who's opinions you didn't challenge as much as you've challenged mine...lol. Like Nino asked G-Money..... "What happened with us? What happened to CMB?" You weren't always so challenging and combative...I'm going to blame it on Cynique. I know some dudes are just suckers for those light-skinned women I had a cousin like that. We got along great until a light skinned girl with red lips got in between us....lol. Then he started acting like he didn't even know me when he saw me in the malls or out on the street...lol.

richardmurray the problem with @Pioneer1 position is A major problem is...it's not MY position, lol. It's the position of Neely Fuller Jr. I should have made that crystal clear. However I DO think there is a lot of validity to it. Black elites operate and live INSIDE of a powerful System of Racism and what they can and cannot do to "help" other Black folks is very limited despite what you THINK they should be doing. Yes, much of the Civil Rights movement was funded by wealthy Black people MOST of it was funded by wealthy White philanthropists who maintained control over most of the Movement being the major "shareholders" of it. So the power of the Black 1% was tampered down and offset by the power certain members of the White 1% who played "good cop". Further, you speak of the "Black 1%" as if they are a monolith and move as a team or unit. SOME Black elite are down for the cause and believe in helping their people, others are in it only for themselves and hoard their wealth, and yet others are sell outs who ASSIST the System of Racism in oppressing other Black people. It varies. Not only is it misleading and confusing to talk of the Black elite as if they were a monolith group of singular thought, aim, and purpose.....but it can also lead to a lot of misunderstandings and conflicts in the community. The rhetoric and venom aimed at Black elites in general usually hit the good along with the bad. Even the wealthy and so-called powerful Black people who WANT to help and ARE helping with their wealth and positions often end up being victi

In Ezekiel Chapter 23: 19-20 we read: We know the ancient Egyptians.....before the Greek and Arab invasions....were Black. No need for further explanation.

I wonder if Latino men were known as being the ones with the biggest dicks, would Latina women be going out of their way to shout it down and disprove it? I also wonder if Asian men were known as being the ones with the biggest dicks, would Asian women be all over the internet downplaying it and pretending as if it didn't matter? It's a hell of a thing to be playing basketball or football only to look over and see YOUR cheerleaders not only remaining silent every time YOU score a point, but actually in some cases cheering for the OTHER damn team. Cynique The argument about penis size as it relates to the sex act, seems to be ongoing; "the bigger the better" being the consensus. Who said that? Did anybody on this site say having a big penis made you good in bed? Talk about straw man arguments..... I thought most of discussion of penis size on this forum lately revolved around RACE...not sexual performance. How accurate the following is, nor do I care if anyone disagrees with my take on what preceded this Well you're certainly putting a lot of energy in to something you CLAIM you don't care about....LOL If you don't care and it doesn't matter to you...why start a whole THREAD on the matter??? Interestingly enough, "width" got just as good marks as "length", making short thick penises an asset "Interesting enough" for somebody who said they didn't even care about the subject, huh? I'm sure I'm the only one who sees what's going on here....lol ProfD Funny thing is NO man can measure himself against a horse. Not even close. That doesn't stop some dudes from trying, though.....lol. Infact, in the Bible there was a passage that suggested the ancient Egyptian men WERE packing dicks like donkeys!

frankster Well you got a LAUGH out of me bringing evidence to Troy only for him to ignore it....I got USE to it. Which is why I don't waste time presenting MORE evidence and proof like this: _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Other inheritable factors may potentially influence a penis size as well, such as: Height: Some studies, including the previously mentioned study published in Sexual Medicine, found a strong correlation between a person's height and their erect/flaccid penis length.1 Race/ethnicity: A 2018 study from Brazil found that, on average, Black men have larger penises than White men, although the difference was relatively small (only around 1/4 inch).11 Ring finger size: A small study published in 2016 suggests that men whose index fingers (second digits) are shorter than their ring fingers (fourth digits) have longer penises. The second to fourth digit ratio is widely regarded as an inheritable trait.12 Average Penis Size: What Is Big and Does Size Matter? Average Penis Size by Race Some studies have attempted to break down average penis size by race and ethnicity, but the differences are often minor. The average erect penis length by ethnic group is reported as follows: African American/Black: 14.75 cm (5.81 inches) White/Caucasian and Hispanic/Latino: 14.5 cm (5.71 inches) Asian American: 12.9 cm (5.08 inches) Middle Eastern: Slightly below the global average South-East Asian, South Asian, and East Asian: Generally on the lower end of the spectrum The Truth About Average Penis Size by Race - Rejuvall ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ....only for him to just ignore or shift the focus on. His mind is clearly made up on the matter.

ProfD I'm curious as to what KIND of beans did Mr. Fuller eat. The Nation of Islam teaches hard on the Navy Bean and how nutritious it is and how it increases longevity. Judging by some of Mr. Fuller's interviews, he was clearly influenced....to a certain degree....by members of the Nation of Islam if not by the teachings of the Nation of Islam itself. I wonder was it Navy Beans that he ate? I also wonder is his "care mate" (wife) still living? If so, I'd like to hear how she's doing and just see her. I also wonder why @frankster started this thread and ain't brought his ass back to it since, lol.
