So you are equating a scientific study with the Bible? The study is presenting information and sure new information will expand upon those ideas or perhaps ultimately reject them, but at least for me the new affirmation certainly casts strong found out that the heart only pumps blood. The Bible on the other hand is a document who’s adherence accept on Faith. The only debate is differences and interpretation.

So what are you saying, that white people are keeping Black people out of the military so that we don’t learn war tactics, and weapons use in our ill-prepared for the pending race war?

You should read the NIH study, you may feel differently about that belief. Never mind I’m just now reading the replies on another page and I see that you read the study. It’s hard for me to believe that after reading the study, you would be so certain about the function of the heart. It wasn’t merely the musings of people they were reacting to the fact that traits and memories moved from a heart donor to the heart recipient. I guess, after a certain age people beliefs become fixed. You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.

I guess that doesn’t appear in your news feed. They are definitely people saying this. That doesn’t really mean very much. There are many.ADOS that voted for Trump too. People who are disenfranchised and struggling are made to feel that their livelihoods are being threatened by illegal immigration. They’re probably our contingent of Latinos who have reached middle class and don’t want Poor Latinos in the mix. Sort of the way the urban middle class Black people used to made fun of and look down on the country Negroes, when they came to the big cities. … meanwhile, the real threat to one of those cushy office jobs is AI.

that video was interesting i lived in this apartment building for a month. my apartment was on the other side of the building with a view of table Mountain, which it that flat mountaintop you see in the background I was there in April. The pool was really too cold to ever use. The building on the left is a large mall on par with anything you find in the — Very nice. I would go food shopping there, put my groceries in the shopping cart, Push it all the way to my apartment door leave it in the hallway and someone would come by and bring it back to the supermarket. For some reason I always thought that was the coolest thing The rent was cheaper than a similar apartment you find in any medium sized city in the US, but without the nice view. Most of the people in the building were European For a black community, people live in what is described as “informal” housing or the Khayelitsha township 30 minutes or more drive from Cape Town.

I think he views himself as being honest. But he is actively avoiding my simple question of identifying the races of the two little girls in the video. He’s avoiding that question because then he he’d be confronted with an obvious problem that his logic cannot reconcile. Racism is alive and well no one is disputing that as far as I can tell. @Pioneer1 You have never produced scientific proof of a genetic basis for race. All you have produced are documents showing the use of the word race. You were presented with information explaining why race is still used and how problematic it is. I appreciate that accepting the fact that there is no genetic basis for the racial categories You adhere to so fervently would change much of the way you view the world. This must be really hard for you. Much harder than it was when you learned that Santa Claus was not real. It’s called cognitive dissonance. It’s natural for humans to try to avoid this mental state. But if you do it too often to stridently, you become delusional divorced from reality. Have you ever met someone who truly believes the world is flat. I have. Your reasoning is just the same as flat-earthers … Hey @Pioneer1 you don’t believe the world is flat now do you?

Putin is the Alpha in that scenario. Putin is not playing…. Ramaphosa handled himself quite well. But, Zelensky is in the middle of a war. I’m not sure how I would’ve reacted in the same situation.

So which one do you buy into rapist, murderers, or MS 13 members?

Yeah, arrange marriages make a lot more sense than marrying someone because they have big boobs and butt You might be referring to people whose second marriage actually succeeded. The reality is second marriages are more likely to fail than first marriages.

Again, the time should be dispense with we are far better off, not using it at all. To put the women in racial buckets,. OK don’t watch the video, you don’t need to watch it. You can answer my question based upon the thumbnail image. Put each woman in one of the two racial buckets, black or white. Can you do that? It will help me, understand your reasoning.

@Pioneer1 is that a yes or a no?

@Pioneer1 what do think about this video that @frankster shared? Based upon your reckoning; Is one twin "Black" and the other "white;" Are they both white; or Are they both Black? Chose on 1, 2 or 3 please.

Like the silverback alpha gorilla Trump gets to mate with multiple women. Perhaps his behavior harkens back to our more primitive nature. Unlike the silverback, Trump's power is derived not from strength but power. The longer I live the more I realize this should be a strong factor in who you decide to marry. @Chevdove call me cynical (unmarried with kids from two different woman), but marrying for solely love is overrated -- particularly if wealth accumulation and preservation is not a factor. You can come to love anyone you with whom you come to share mutual respect.

I can see his point

Ask the homesteaders you speak of.

Really? Do you buy into all that rhetoric about people crossing the border of being rapists, murderers, and members of MS 13?

Is trump’s Eddie s high value woman, or did she become one after she married him? Mellody Hobson, a high value woman, is married to George Lucas. Is George Lucas an Alpha male? Again, it’s not like we are silverback. Gorillas maintaining the alpha position based upon physical strength. Alpha males as it applies to modern humans is a subjective social construct much like race, and probably not a valuable descriptor unless one defines it in context in context.

@Pioneer1 do continue reject the science in favor of your personal experience?

Playing devils advocate for a second, I think there are many women that can raise a boy into a man better than many men could. A cis-gendered heterosexual male is ideally raised by both parents. A boy raised without the influence of his mother is at a deficit. Most guys are not alpha males. It is difficult to make that term apply to a modern day man. Anybody with a lot of money will have many options when it comes to getting women and you don’t have to worry about getting your butt kicked because you can hire bodyguards. There will never be a shortage of sycophants and lackies at your beck and call. Donald Trump and Elon Musk are the ultimate alpha males in the scenario. They are not the strongest, best looking most righteous, but they are leaders of men. Donald Trump summoned Jim Brown and Jim kissed the ring. Sure he was an old man by then but still…

It is hard to escape the Diddy trial stuff if you are user of YouTube, I’m on YouTube almost every day looking for videos of Authors or uploading my own videos. When you log into YouTube, you are bombarded with videos with click baity titles and thumbnail images. before you see any of your stuff you have to click a few things. Sometimes I’ll click on a Diddy video with some very scandalous headline and it never delivers. They are always a waste of time. These useless videos crowd out professional coverage by journalists. In fact I’ve never seen any coverage by mainstream media outlets. It’s always some unknown person talking trash for 30 minutes…. Judging from the sketches, puff daddy’s jet black hair is now gray. It also appears several celebrities like Monique, Will Smith, usher have testified at his trial, but I can’t really tell for sure. It is no wonder people are misinformed on so many subjects. Google, in a frantic pursuit of profit, has made the World Wide Web a much worse experience by creating in sentences for people to upload useless trash onto YouTube. From what I gather, they’re gonna lock that brother up and throw away the key. But what do I know I’ve been getting my trial coverage from YouTube..

In addition to The Matrix. On the subject of AI, I would also recommend the movies Ex Machina and Her. If you have not seen either one I highlight recommend them. @umbrarchist I have ordered the book Two Faces of Tomorrow.

... and the longer they wait the less likely people will be willing to make Reparations a reality. Indeed, we may have already reached that point. It is a class issue, leaders like upper middle-class brothers like Wes Moore will not fight for it, they don't believe it, they can't relate to it, and really aren't interested in benefiting the people who have been wronged by it -- including "the other Wes Moore."
