Of the two names I have a personal preference for “Cynique” but as Shakespeare said a rose… 20 years is a long time the Kola Boof era seems like a lifetime ago. I don’t think I’ve seen her in a good 10 years and when I did, she seemed perfectly normal Our discussion forums pre-dated social media; launching around the time of NetNoir. Melanet, Black Planet and other black owned platform— ancient history in terms of the World Wide Web. It was a period when Black people really enjoyed and we’re proud of using black owned properties. Indeed we were trapped on copy serve in America online constrained by their rules.. the World Wide Web opened up opportunity for Black people and we took advantage of it Today Black people would rather strive to be popular on white owned ones platform. It is a variation of the white man’s Isis holder of the house, Negro paradigm. White own properties exploited what apparently is an innate human characteristic to seek the approval of others; accumulate followers collect likes. It is really changed to behavior of many people people sharing on social chasing the “like.” Of course everyone has not fallen under this spell, but many have, too many if you ask me. @ProfD describes the form as a coffeehouse. He is not the first one to do that. I think the interactions here are more reflective of the real world than social media. At any rate, I appreciate the participation of everyone even those I disagree with — which will be everyone from time to time

Agreed. That is they are just crude or undisciplined. If you are joking or trying to make a point cursing is generally appropriate depending upon the room. Interestingly, most of the Black people I speak to from across the Diaspora what are they from Europe, Africa, or the Caribbean a better versed on colonialism and white racism than most Americans. They have a global perspective. At least that is true for the ones that I’ve spoken to here in America. But it’s probably a class issue…

Wait, THAT is his action that makes no sense to you

Evidence of what?

maybe he is saying that in hopes of getting pardoned.

Yeah, something must be wrong with me. I guess it’s cause I’m bald. Why wouldn’t any Black man wants to recognize a claim strongest hair

They’re opening a few here in Florida I don’t recall ever going to one.

If that is not your conclusion, then what was your point in starting this conversation and your first post, which came immediately on the heels of your assertion that black men have the biggest penises?

Yeah, I’d think that’s a more accurate assessment. Yep. Another reason to stay off social media. Do you think the Negroes on social media are representative of the larger population? I don’t. Before the World Wide Web fell under the control of a handful of corporations, a video like this would never have crossed my path. fringe ideas like this would’ve remained on the fringe, obscure. Today, the algorithm serves up these videos you get outraged and you share them with others. fringe ideas are elevated, giving viewers the impression that more people hold these ideas than actually do. Try to stick with reputable sources for information and take everything else with a “grain of salt.”

Easy, you can have multiple interpretations, but some of those are clearly wrong. . again your interpretation of that passage to mean that Black people have the biggest penises as clearly way of the mark. I’ve read a couple of interpretations and none of them come close to yours. Is your interpretation shared by anyone else or are you bold enough to believe that your unique interpretation is the only one that’s correct and everyone else is wrong?

Trump, Clinton, and JFK were bachelor too, even though they were married.

Well, it is sad people think like that too. I know someone I have to deal with who seemingly expresses whatever she is thinking -- without a filter. It is not possible to reconcile what she says with her actions, so I'd rather not hear anything her stray thoughts. Same with Trump. He said "Ilhan Omar is garbage." What does that even mean? That communicates nothing other than he is a very crass man with an apparently limited vocabulary.

Hey @Milton, A Palmetto Christmas was already on the site, but I found a few more titles to add including what I believe is you most recently published novel, Cynda. BTW I see you use two different names; Milton J. Davis and Milton Davis. Is there a reason for this? If not, I suggest you update your metadata to use one version of you name (I suggest "Milton J. Davis"). There are other Milton Davises out there

Hey @Kimberly S. Love we've added you book to the site: https://aalbc.com/books/9798218669324 What is the book's publication date and page count? By the way, do you know Jay Myhand or Marc Lacy (both from Huntsville)?

Maybe the last 75 years... I doubt most Black men read well enough in 1900 to understand the bible. I don't even understand it
