I have spent time with a variety of different family groups in-laws, baby mama‘s, father family mother‘s family my nuclear family all been good always. My experience simply doesn’t align with that statement. If it is not your experience seek out your friends

@Pioneer1 this would seem to be true as you fixate on penis size as being the primary means for attracting a woman’s attention. @ProfD actually most scientific projections suggest humanity will eventually be brown as populations continue to mix. The so-called white race will disappear over time.

Sure they do and they will naturally draw false conclusions about the book. This is exactly why they say don’t judge a book by its cover or judge people by the color of their skin. How do you know this? I thought you didn’t watch the film. So even fictional, green characters are now lump in with Black people? What is the next pioneer saying that the Incredible Hulk just reinforces the black male brute stereotype? I’ll grant you that the majority culture will promote their ideas of beauty; fair skin, blonde, hair, blue eyes, fine features, etc — even though most of them don’t look like that. Obviously Black people, despite straightening their hair and dying it blonde and using cream lighters will never achieve that standard. but suggesting that the producers of the movie, wicked crafted the green character simply to reinforce negative black stereotypes is an extreme leap to make based upon a movie poster of a film you purportedly have not seen.

lol! Yes the name speaks for itself. Braggadocio is unnecessary. Dude, the only erect penis I’ve ever seen is mine. Besides an locker room I’m not trying to look at another brother’s joint. were you that guy peeping over the urinal checking out my package the last time I was in Detroit? It is impossible for it to be a scientific fact. Just repeating it doesn’t make it so even the report you shared indicated this. This was not a peer reviewed study that you shared if you look at some of the peer reviewed studies they reflect how problematic it is collecting the data and drawing meaningful conclusions. One interesting thing I read is that folks with high BMI’s tend to have shorter penises because of the pad of fat at the base in their pelvis.

I watched it again within the last year or so you appreciate it differently at different stages of life.

Just how many penises have you sized up over the years? So why “contradick” this and insist that there is one? Your “reasoning” never ceases to astonish me. Shooting down the myth that’s so-called Black people have the biggest dicks is not disparaging black men. It is interesting. You take so much pride in this myth. If you are packing 10+ inches. and that is important to you. Take pride in that you don’t have to perpetrate a myth. Black people have plenty of actual and meaningful accomplishments to be proud of couldn’t be the mothers and fathers of civilization — indeed humanity. Yes, they are marketed to people ego think like you. Of course it is.

Yeah a classic film

Are Cynthia and Ariana queer? That might explain the off screen “relationship.” As far as the movie poster, if you don’t know anything about the movie and haven’t seen it how can you comment about the poster? I have not seen the movie, but I’ve seen the play and I’ve seem to remember the green witch being a sympathetic character and ultimately a positive one. Yeah, I do think you’re making too much of the poster. For one the character is green with straight hair. So unless you’re going to bat for our green brother and sisters, I don’t understand what you’re complaining about. This movie, the least of our worries. And Cynthia Evio is a net positive for the black community in my opinion.

which one smells like which? @Pioneer1 I presume, based upon your commentary, that you would “hit dat.”

@Chevdove @frankster was correct on all of his statements. The last statement you described as insane should actually be a bit more intuitive to you. Think about it this way; think of all the roles that are attributed to men and women. Do you think these are genetically based or one that is used upon culture? You can also see that people are pushing back on the binary, gender roles, and put upon people based upon genitalia. People simply don’t like to change their way of thinking it’s hard— science doesn’t matter fact don’t matter data doesn’t matter when people fervently hold on to antiquated and outdated ideas. People often kill each other over new ideas. the fact that the Earth rotates around the sun, conflicted the idea that the Earth was the center and everything rotated around it. Resulted in the prosecution of the people who attempted to spread this fact.

Happy belated birthday @ProfD! Who among us are thinking about pilgrims when celebrating Thanksgiving? There is no reason not to gather with friends and family to enjoy some good cooking, sports, games on this particular day.

Deploying National guide troops and one of the safest areas in the country blocks away from the White House is a waste of time money and human resources. sadly the guys were critically injured for no good reason. Those two guys should’ve been doing whatever the heck they were doing before they were unnecessarily deployed to DC.

This is a stereotype. Who has measured penis girth and length and categorized this by so called race across a statistically significant number of men for you to justify making this statement. Similar issue with your proclamations for women’s butts.

It is not a matter of what I think. It is a simple fact; the government takes money from some people and distributes it to others

@richardmurray don't worry about those brothers just are projecting what they would do with the money That, or you, as @ProfD said, you are misinterpreting what he wrote. Clearly you left @Pioneer1 speechless -- no small feat. I think UBI is the last thing on his mind. It is not a pillar of the Republican party. They are motivated by the acquisition of wealth not distributing it. They are about exploitation period. Back to the $2K there are people who need work on their car, would like to zero out a credit card balance to improve their credit, or maybe take a little vacation for their mental health and if they buy an ounce of weed -- so what. The real problem is one-time payment is a short-term measure, not a solution. If the US somehow decided to pay a UBI you can forget about reparations forever.

That is an understatement. Hummm that doesn’t sound right there are many ways to benefit a person than directly giving the money which has a high likelihood of being spent on crack. Why should you get Karmic credit for that? Why am I even arguing the point of this? As if there is some type of cosmic justice @richardmurray do you type all of your responses from a computer keyboard? They are very long. I was just curious I dictate most of mine, including this one. it’s far from perfect.

Of course, brother, I’m not suggesting you pull a bunch of flies off some horse shit and make a soup.

I’m sure McDonald’s is trash food. I go maybe once or twice a year always during a road trip for a fast hot breakfast I can eat in the car. I imagine eating there every day as bad as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day. I know a lot of people who swear pork is so bad but they eat cows and chickens. My only real aversion to eating pork is that pigs are relatively intelligent animals if I had to slaughter one myself I probably wouldn’t bother and fry up some fish instead. As far as eating bugs, I don’t see a problem with it. Brother Rizza is talking like eating insects is crazy. I don’t understand — it is probably healthier than eating a goat or chicken. Many African cultures consume insects He sounds childish on the subject.

Excuse my ignorance but does tether I to all nonFBAs here or just the ones who talk dot about us. I’m afraid unless the owners of new Black Media are more mission driven than financially driven. It Will ultimately not serve us.

That is certainty a factor give the midterms are a full year away. But that is also ample time for the current administration to create more havoc. Eyes will be in NYC too.

The reason that technology reaches people quickly (goes viral) is that it is designed to do just that. I argue that content used to do that does not serve us. If you do not use the technology the way they do no one besides you and me will use it. Think BET. It is not just us man. Most of the country is in this predicament. Of course, when American catches a cold... always applies.

I watched this TV series called The OA on Netfix it dealt with the subject of traveling through different dimensions. It held my attention but I would not string recommend it unless this subject really appeals to you. I see a fetus.

@aka Contrarian the death of the penny was lok overdue. When I was kid you could buy all sorts of candy for a penny. Can you buy anything for even a nickel today? Get rid of those too. Who still carries currency anyway? The only time I carry currency is when I play poker and spend the winnings

Right, I actively avoid consuming content on social for reasons I can go on with all day long. So it does not matter to me who owns it as I don't use it. If Black folks owned it, and it operated the same way, I still would not use it. The move for Black people is not to embrace the same f'ed systems greedy white boys use to exploit the populace (winking at Richard). We desperately need to do things that will serve us. This is true to the nation in general.
