Okay, I guess my imagination is going astray--but I keep thinking this is pun... Why am I laughing... Yes, who doesn't love to watch Simone! And, I have a few other favorites in this sport. Also, Allyson Felix made the Olympic team! That is amazing. She is so awesome. Allyson Felix is heading to the Tokyo Olympics this year, having qualified for two events in the trials and nearly making a third. As part of the 400m singles and the 4x400m relay, she aims to add more medals to her already illustrious career and is set to become the most decorated athlete in US history.

Never heard of Kevin Samuel and now, I do not wish to do so. And I vaguely remember Sotomayor's negative comments about his own mother; So it's obvious to me that he harbors a lot of Self-Hate. You can't hate Black women that much without hating yourself.

Beautiful!!! Look at her Yall! I know a few others that had by-pass surgery and now, I do wonder if they've had similar experiences. Me too! I sure do miss you!

WOW! She's fast. Also, I have just read another article that sort of answers my questions about her wild selection in her appearance. She is gay. And relies on her girlfriend for her choice in various hair color. Sha'Carri Richardson powers to women's 100m win at 2021 USATF Golden Games | NBC Sports - YouTube

WOW! It's that big in Tulsa. Like Kwanza, I have learned about Juneteenth by and by but not in a formal educational setting. What I do not fully understand would be of its' importance outside of Texas in relation to the federal mandate ending slavery. No. I do not believe that slavery is over at all.

Okay. No way. @Pioneer1 As you stated; I presented valid references of the etymology of the word 'ruddy' in its relation to African people being 'ruddy' or reddish-brown. I shared several occasions that is my genetic make-up and several of my relatives. Your restricted belief in that 'ruddy' only applies to White Europeans like the pics you posted such as former president Bill Clinton, is a restricted understanding of the term 'reddish' and does not include 'a reddish-brown' complexion that Black African people manifest. White Europeans can express a reddish complexion, but African-typed people who express this redness in tone are the only ones that can be defined as being RUDDY-- or reddish brown [or brownish-red]. I gave you references. I presented a Byzantine reference of King David depicted and defined as being ruddy. That references dates back more than a thousand years ago.

No, @Cynique Your experiences do not seem like insanity to me. In fact, I have some of the experiences that you have described too. I do think it is interesting in the way that your pets are behaving! I do wonder about that.

Really? Sorry to hear that.

@Pioneer1 I saw this post a while back and thought it critical to address with regards to our discussion on RELIGION! As I said, I base my religious beliefs from a scientific POV for major reasons one of which would be to deflect this kind of evil. This person, like many others today, put out great deception and this kind of deception is furthered by many Blacks too, that believe in false lies and deception put out by racist Whites. YOU often speak of your beliefs in blacks existing 'tens of thousands of years ago' but do not present any valid references and therefore, your views are the same as this poster. Your constant statement about THE WHITE MAN-CAUCASIAN living in caves actually supports this white racist post. While he comes into a Black community and pushes this deception about the Old World Hominid being equated to Black African people today, you actually support this viewpoint too, however, scientific references could easily dispel this deception and cause the government to have to step into this and regulate it better. The Homo Erectus Hominid is completely extinct. There are many recent 'false documentaries' in which the Homo Erectus Hominid is falsely equated to African people today, but this cannot ever be confirmed for many scientific reasons. One of the most crucial pieces of evidence would be FOSSILS and the other would be the complete ABSENCE OF NAPPY--BUSHY--KINKY, etc. hair of which the Old World 'Black' Hominids DO NOT HAVE in the DNA at all!!! However many of these racist film makers today try to present Modern African's today in their write ups as being the same as these Old World Hominids that have been extinct 'tens of thousands of years ago' even before the Neanderthals became dominant in the world. The DNA from these fossils clearly confirm that these ancient Black Hominids are completely extinct, but yet this racist posters comes into a black community and put out this lie. @Pioneer1 Your belief in White MALES existing as a single origin is only another concept that supports this kind of racist White Supremacist rhetoric. White males do not have an origin all on their own as if they came to be as 'the first'. No science will agree due to DNA research. So your belief in 'a White Adam' only supports this kind of backward thinking of racist whites like this poster. ALL WHITE MALES TODAY that have 'straight viable YDNA' stem from one 'AFRICAN MALE INDIVIDUAL', even former president Donald Trump. All modern males today that are classified as Modern Homo Sapien stem from a Black AFrican man with nappy--bushy hair and have the DNA MARKER of BASAL-A [basal ADAM] markings in their haplo groups. This does not include the Homo Erectus at all. They are extinct. They do not have nappy hair genetic markings at all. This is fully displayed in the Smithsonian as well. Your constant reference to the Islamic literature about White Caucasian men living in caves 6000 years ago is incorrect with regards to time periods. Any 'white' males that existed at that time, were not really males like today, but were completely intersexed until the nappy headed Black African man was manifested and the two distinct species began to inter-mix. And intersexed males cannot produce any kind of male offspring with 'straight viable YDNA' HAPLO GROUP at that time until they inter mixed with Africans.

Yes, but education is the key. I don't think that African people are the only ones to mis-use religion as a basis to follow their government, leaders or even form militias to fight others based on religious beliefs that they do not completely understand. This post strikes a cord with me because of what i have been experiencing in the educational sphere with regards to this very month being PRIDE MONTH!! African American teachers are the ones being supportive of a White Homosexual male teacher in his club to celebrate PRIDE MONTH and I was approached by the Black women to help pass out flyers and activities as well. So after being confronted with this, I decided to research other information and found that JUNE 16, is a National/International Day dedicated to African children. It is awesome. African leaders in Africa have started a movement of which concentrates on dealing with terrible issues that jeopardize the lives of Black children. And, I believe this issue connects to RELIGION. Many of us over here in America do not think about Africa as it relates to our NWO of LBGT movements. Most African countries do NOT accept LBGT at all and some still have it as being against their laws do to their RELIGIOUS BASIS. Many African leaders believe that Homosexuality was introduced into Africa from other sources. And because of RELIGION, I strongly believe that African countries will never accept HOMOSEXUALITY; it is a Religious Right!!! And not only Africa, but there are other civilizations in the east world that do not accept HOMOSEXUALITY, but yet, we have been forced to accept it as a federal law and for me, that is a major human right violation based on my religious belief, but more importantly, because African American DOS were forced to deal with this issue as America set up on the backs of slave children that were raped! I believe that African Americans are being severely exploited on this score and we are being set up and being conditioned to have a false sense of security. If our future generations enlist in the military and are part of the LGBT movement, and are sent over to Africa or certain countries, they may be in for a shock. RELIGION may be mis-used by many people all over the world, but in the case of African leaders, I think eventually, people will become better informed about the origins of how the earliest religions and this will be beneficial.

Tommy Sotomayor-- I thought he was banned from the internet. He is so negative. absolutely agree.

@Pioneer1 I am referring to several of your post that you have used to support your arguments! You have used Islamic basis several times! LOL! But, yes, I absolutely understand that you do not 'say' that you ascribe to any religion but believe in 'The SUPREME BEING' with no script to support anything about your version of 'The SUPREME BEING'; What he or she looks like, what he or she communicates to you or anybody, etc. BUT, I always discuss my beliefs based on a scientific basis. So far, it this has not happened! If I am wrong, then put an example here, @Pioneer1

LOL! For real! Lol! They are not just riding around LOOKING for someone to shoot. They are under direction of a higher government, I would suppose, and they are in their military. And, I don't think that we as humans only fight over religious beliefs, but governments fight over trade and other things too.

@Pioneer1 Hostile? Threatened? No, but when you make statements like this: " ... because we didn't write the Bible. The Bible was put together in Greece by a group of Caucasians." My responses to you are defensive. This is NOT respectful dialogue when we have already addressed this topic and I have presented merited references on the very date the First 5 books of the Bible were written and there is no Greek presence at that time the Exodus occurred in Africa. Fun? That's crazy @Pioneer1 Again, I would not make blatant statements to discredit your belief in Islam or make 'fun' about your religion and your statements about your belief in 'the Supreme Being'. That is what causes division, imo. Again, I appreciate you much, and I think even a discussion about religion or religious history can be good, but it should be based on some type of respectful guidelines.

Oh yes, I became very frustrated reading what you wrote. What do 'they' know about 'the typical Black woman'? Sometimes, I feel as if, certain White people have created their own negative version of what 'they want us to be'. They want us to fit into their mentality of what they feel we should be. And, I also believe that this type of behavior has been forced on us long ago. Sometimes, I get the feeling that 'they' can accept Black women if, 'in their minds' we look like a past rendition of 'the mammy' but if Black women were to show another type of presence, it would not be accepted. So no, I don't believe that a White person should be narrating a story where the 'n-word' is used!

@Pioneer1 You are very disrespectful and know that I did not state this at all. You're responses are not to critique or criticize what I as 'a Black Christian(s)' states with merit. The legal definition of a 'Religious Bully' defines what you have constantly done and it is disrespectful. When these types of statements are constantly repeated, then it is a form of 'Bullying''/attack. I would not attack you for your religious beliefs nor would I intentionally attack you as a 'Black Islamist' or whatever your religious affiliation is with 'the Supreme Being' as you have so stated. You have repeatedly made blunt statements about the Black African presence with regards to the Bible script and this Harry person repeatedly post negative threads about 'Black Christians'. I can absolutely understand respectful dialogue about both subjects, however, when this type of rhetoric is constant from the same person(s), that is definitely wrong. You should not need someone to have to address your bad behavior on this wise. You should be able to have some type of self-control. Monitor yourself @Pioneer1 I definitely appreciate you in previous exchanges when you replied or we exchanged comments on these topics when it is respectful. But, when this type of thread topic is posted by Harry and no other avenue is made to dialogue with him, it seems as if this is some type of move to incite, imo. Nevertheless, this is an ancient repetitive process though especially when it comes to Christians and Christianity.

@Pioneer1 Both terms 'definition' and 'etymology' are science based and the references I presented were a complete break down but you have ignored because you want to be right. Your partial definition of 'ruddy' completely excludes the fact in that African people would be a complete definition of 'ruddy'. Both White people and Black African-typed people can be 'reddish' but only African typed people can express a 'reddish-brown' complexion. The word 'ruddy' specifically defines 'reddish-brown' as the references I posted. But let me also re-state this: I am 'reddish'!!! I was born with reddish-brown hair! Although my mother has naturally very-black hair and one of my sisters and some other relatives have intense black hair, however, one of my aunts also has red hair! My second cousin's nickname is 'RED' and unlike me, he continued to retain a very intense red skin tone into his adulthood and he also has very red hair--Afro. He has a very stiff, nappy hair type-- 'a BUSH', as it was commonly called during the 1960s. My first cousin on my father's side also has red hair and etc. So, this red trait runs on both sides of my family. One of my sons was very, very red when he was born and retained this red skin tone for a few years and when he blushes, he still shows this redness even though he is now darker skinned. So, Pioneer, I believe that you are fully aware of this trait that many African-typed people can exhibit, but you just want to be right no matter what.

@Pioneer1 I put the reference and you have blatantly ignored it. I've put the references and you have blatantly ignored it. This very topic was my thesis in college. I have responded this very topic in a thread about African typed hair. I have presented a reference from a person from East Africa who reference ancient Byzantine contributions to the ancient Bible. But again, you blatantly disregard my rebuttal.

@Pioneer1 You've presented no reference at all. This is what you believe, yet you've presented nothing about Black 'ancient' contributions to script. No, it's not "made up", that is a legal term. imo, you should not be allowed to attack 'Black Christians' and again, this is my opinion. Of course, you respond to a thread that attacks BLACK CHRISTIANS @Pioneer1, so I choose to respond to this form of attack within a Black community because I do think it is important that I do. This type of Laissez Faire policy has existed for hundreds and hundreds of years byway of this American government. I come to a Black community that offers me the opportunity to express my views and share my research, but I am well aware of how this system operates. Nevertheless, it's not about you or this Harry person @Pioneer1 as a whole. It's about politics. So, I am very happy to be able to come to this community because there are not many. This type of community give me the chance see other views that may help me with my research and beliefs. But, no one should be attacked and that is the gist of this initial thread. However, I am stressing this point, but I also want to stress that I am grateful for this Black community.

The Septuagint was a written Greek TRANSLATION of a more ancient Hebrew script and this TRANSLATION occurred around the 200s-300s BC during the time of the Ptolemies who ruled over Egypt. Prior to this time thousands of years had past since the earliest ancient scripts had been written byway of ancient Black people. The 'White' Greeks did not dominate over Egypt until thousands of years later after indigenous Black people had been concentrated in these parts of Africa. The Hebrews that translated the Septuagint were sought out by the Ptolemies and it was these Greek speaking Hebrews, 70 of them, that translated their own ancient script into the KIONE GREEK language of that time period. So again, @Pioneer1 If you believe that White Caucasians wrote the Bible; Who are you referring to? I said that you are being 'a Religious Bully'. A Religious Bully is defined as in reference to someone who attacks another persons religion and religious beliefs. Both you and this Harry person, should not be allowed to do this, imo. But, for some strange reason, this 'Harry' person is contributing to this community in a 'one-way' format and only drops his religious attacks against BLACK CHRISTIANS continually but does not offer any conversation. Well, I have asked you before to present ancient scripts written by ancient Blacks and I don't remember that you provided any answer. If you did, can you please restate it here, since you want to believe that the initial books in the Bible, at least, dated to be written by Moses at the time of the Exodus in Egypt under the pharaoh, is written by White Caucasians.

@Pioneer1 Anyone can see the rest of the definition for the term 'ruddy' that you left out. You only put "1." of the Webster definition. WOW!--You want to be right so badly that you are being deceptive. LOL! So WOW again, you are implying here, that people of African descent and/or BROWN people cannot display a 'RED' hue, only White people. @Pioneer1 Anyone can understand the definition of 'bushy', 'nappy', 'wooly' hair, but yes, many people may believe too, the Bushy hair is 'bad'/unkempt hair. Nevertheless, White Caucasian people do NOT have naturally 'bushy' hair. Everyone on this earth, however, can have 'unkempt hair'. Again, @Pioneer1 You are being very disrespectful. I have presented truth and facts. All of the terms here are defined based on a scientific basis and I have presented many references in other threads on these very topics.

Yes, I think this is the position of many White people whose ancestors benefitted from chattel slavery. They feel that they are guilt free. @Pioneer1 The term 'white' in the KJV is italicized!!! The term 'ruddy' means 'reddish-brown'!!! The very next verse refers to a malefactor with BUSHY HAIR!!! LOL! I explained this before! There is no such human on this earth that is both White Caucasian with NAPPY [BUSHY] hair!!! White people don't have nappy hair! The term 'LOCKS' reinforces the term 'bushy' or 'curly' to confirm the DNA of the ancient people being described. I explained this before that Solomon [as you state] is the author of this book as is the first line of the very book. However, his wife, 'the very Black skinned maiden' is also part authorship in this book as she writes about Solomon. But, as I stated before, Chapter 5, the verses that you are referring to, is a TRANSITION chapter, and Solomon, is writing this book in his old age. Solomon is now writing about the future, a time when he, as 'THE BELOVED' will be dead, and then another greater BELOVED will come to comfort the daughters of Israel. I told you this before. The term 'white' is italicized and refers to 'purity'. The Greatest Beloved is pure. Ruddy does not mean 'blushing', it means 'reddish brown' and this is also how David was described. David was not 'blushing all of his life! LOL. David was a ruddy man--he had a reddish-brown type of complexion. Solomon wrote that the Greatest Beloved would be reddish-brown with black 'locks'--bushy-typed hair which is the hallmark of African traits. In the very book you are referring to, she is definitely described to be Israel and linked to Joseph. Yes, Solomon had many queens and lovers. But this one, this black skinned virgin, Abishag, is the basis of his entire book of Songs of Solomon. She would not be just a mere lover; that makes no sense! Solomon, a king over Israel writing about a virgin lover and not elevating her to be his queen! lol. God forbid.

Oh wow! @Delano Then you do have a lot of intuition! perhaps. @Troy Yes! So true! @Pioneer1

@Pioneer1 Wrong! But if you believe that then, please put the reference [1] to the Grecian origins of the Bible being written in Greece; and [2] the Caucasian authors you are referring to. You are a Religious Bully and that is wrong. So, you don't believe that Black people were smart enough to write anything in ancient times? You attribute all of our scholarly contributions to Caucasians?
