if you start a brawl with another parent you are not a failed athlete. You’re just a failed human being. Parents can often be the worst when it comes to their kids and sports.

Do you think so? Maybe they reported on it but we didn’t get the memo because of the racially biased algorithm. I find that you have to seek black media. You can’t wait for it to be pushed to you. I’m not saying that is what you are doing. I’m just saying that it never reaches us the same way. BLACK dysfunction reaches us. A black girl hits another girl with a baton during an obscure track meet and yeah they’re all over it, but a 25 hour speech and we hear nothing of relevance from it, surely he said something.

It was an impressive stunt. Did he say anything revelatory?

A fight during a hockey game seems typical. The parents getting involved is more interesting 🙂 but it still does not rise to being worthy of national news coverage, as it is not uncommon for parent to fight during their kids games (sadly). I could certainly see it going viral as this is perfect fodder for social media. Especially if wigs are getting snatched off... Are you sure the video is media coverage or surveillance footage which will naturally be of lower quality. Race is always a factor with media coverage. I wish it weren't, but it always is.

Like I said, I love the south.😎

‘dat bees da deep souf. ROTFLMBAO! knee-grow please you in the south 🤣 denial… my New York sensibility, sees everything south of Jersey City, NJ the south sounds like you’ve been watching too much of The Wire. Don’t get me wrong, I love the south the DMV, the Carolinas, ATL. You folks in the DMV embrace your southerness! it is a very endearing trait, especially in the ladies 🥰

OK, I’ll ask the resident race arbiter what is the so-called race are the majority of people who live in Gaza strip? That last question was for @pioneer

That is an oversimplification, implying that there is a genetic test for race. There is not one. I’m sure there are so-called white people who have more in common with you genetically than I do. Sure, we mapped the Genome, but you can’t look at anyone’s jeans and determine exactly what they’re gonna look like some jeans have characteristics that I’ve never expressed there’s environment in a whole wide variety of factors that go into how we look… Sure lineage can be traced through DNA but again this has nothing to do with race because race has no basis in genetics. I’m not sure that’s true. It’s counterintuitive, Did you just conjure that up or have you studied the subjects sufficiently to make that statement. show me anything from a reputable source that supports that statement. Does ancestry or 23 and me provide your “race” in their DNA test? Here too, you make my point if it’s all based on genetics how can there be two different definitions of race based on the geography? So then the point you were making is completely lost on me. I would not be so quick to wrap Chinese people in the same Eurocentric racial crap we’ve come to know in America. I think that’s reductive. Boy you are Wiley creature aren’t you 🙂 sure Laws as a man-made. Using your logic by extension everything is man-made, which makes your original distinction nonsensical. so says you. Your opinion on the characteristics of racial designations are not universally accepted, as Richard described in his last response. Race is more easily changed too… @Pioneer1 what race do “mulattos” far under? Mulatto as used in the US census? Killing 6 million Jews wasn’t crazy enough for you? Here too you make my point about the absurdity of race. Looking at Hitler explain to me how he would judge any European Jew as less pure racially than he was?

I presume you are talking about Hitler wasn’t he the same dude that started out killing 6 million or so of the white people? They want the land because of its material wealth the people already there incidental. This is par for course. There won’t be either the people who are fixated on race will need to die off first. The people behind them are much less fixated on race, so I do believe we are headed toward a color blind society.

When did the people in the Gaza Strip become white?

You have never produced the article. The scientifically proves the concept of race.. I can say that confidently because no scientific article doing that would exist. It’s not the same thing because crime is not an artificial construct. It’s an actual thing. I’m more concerned that someone is trying to mistreat me.. The motivation for doing so it’s a little consequence if I’ve done nothing wrong to . if someone is mistreating you does it matter if they are doing it because you are an American or you’re black or your Christian or your Muslim you stop the domination anymore than it matters what they are. I did not say ignore ethnicity. ethnicity is a real thing. Ethnic diversity should be celebrated. Sure, but the truth of the matter is people don’t fight simply because their skin is a different color. They fight over land and wealth. The color of one skin is just an excuse to justify it. If people understood that the concept of racist nonsense it would be hard to justify the violence and exploitation we level against people because of race,

OK, please explain the scientific basis of race. I’ll wait…. No, that is the problem. The effort of tracking race is the very thing that perpetuates racism. @Pioneer1 again you are conflicting arguments. The lack of a scientific basis for racism does not mean that racism does not exist — obviously racism, exists. Part of the reason this website exists is because of racism. I think understanding that we are all one race Might be a step in the right direction of having a more harmonious world If people wanna fight, they can still fight over nationality and religion. there’s never been a shortage of things for people to fight over. In 2025 we definitely should not still be fighting over the artificial constructive race.

Let me know how it goes.

this is true, but another fact that you must consider is that this is also tied to monetary benefit. It’s not just the white man’s ice being colder is the white man’s ice can generate more wealth. This is true because Black people tend to support white platforms, more than they support black platforms, so it has a fly wheel effect, the more we support them the more money they make. The less we support Black platforms, the more they struggle. In the early days of this website, I often lamented the fact that many Black Writers would write for a white site for free but turn their nose up at a $50 payment from a Black site. Of course there’s much more “perceived” prestige of being published on say the old Huffington Post versus aalbc.com. There are black consultants who aggressively sell Black people on how to monetize the content that they freely provide to the wealthy social media platforms. Think about that. Imagine if the countries best and brightest high school students all fought vigorously to get into an HBCU as opposed to one of those north eastern majority white schools. I get customers who buy from me because they want to support a black business and do not want to support Amazon. I know this is true because they tell me. Their dollars matter big time! I don’t care It is not clear to me why some people understand this and others, most others, don’t. Maybe they don’t care….

You can also Eric Williams‘s books here each book has its own page with the lake to your closest local library with a copy 🙂 If you made the ending the teaching of black history or African history rather than that’s a problem. If you mean, no longer keep track of the color of people skin again I think it a long-term we would be better served. If you can give me a counter argument, on why you think we need to keep track of people’s skin color and how that has served us, I’m all eyes. I think the argument about genders is different than the one about so-called race. How many genders are there?

Here we go again… You simply cannot look at someone and tell they are Hispanic — any more than you could tell where they were born. Of course there is confusion. You just choose not to acknowledge it. They screw up on all aspects of a physical appearance height, so-called race, even gender. Race is a diversion. Irish people Italian people weren’t considered white until recently. Who do you think came up with the term poor white trash. Over the centuries, religion class ethnicity, and yes, so-called race was used for the wealthy to maintain their power. Over us morons arguing over a race. This is nonsensical. Race is not based on science! If Candace decided to call herself white, it makes perfect sense given how many phenotypically white people were deemed as black because of the one drop rule. I’m not sure specifically what you’re referring to. But I do think in the final analysis we’d be better off not keeping track of this so-called race…. In the long-term.

Dude you should find a different word to use than race. It is impossible to create a universally accepted method of determine one's race, as you already know there is no genetic test one can take -- you could even assign a race to someone consistently. Plus what Richard said.

George was the pitchman for several products. The NY Times has an interesting obituary.

@umbrarchist Here is a reading list I share whenever people ask for must read books for Black people: Ben-Jochannan, Clarke & Van Sertima’s Reading Lists Yes @richardmurray anywhere Black people are lorded over by people who don't care about them is a problem and yes Harlem was one of those problematic locations. I heard school were desegregated in 1954, but I went to segregated underfunded schools. Meanwhile down the street from me literally the white kids got to go to private schools or great public schools. We were all taught the Black history started with slavery and that MLK was a great man and Europeans gave the world civilization.

So apparently the first message was not strong enough. A drug dealer shooting up the house of another known drug dealer does not rise to a case of domestic terrorism any more than torching a single Tesla.

@Pioneer1 when people start throwing around the word populace then you’ll know the influence is complete 😉 I think it is great that Jim Crow laws have been repealed. “Segregation” where people were forced to drink from different fountains could not stay in public hotels use public pools were forced into crappy schools could not get meaningful employment. All those things were bad. however, in desperation to integrate we effectively destroyed many black communities as the professionals and working middle class abandoned “separate” black neighborhoods in favor of white ones. This has been bad too. There have been a bunch of books written on this subject. Disintegration: The Splintering of Black America by Eugene Robinsonis one that I read recently another that I just added to the site is, Black Ghost of Empire: The Long Death of Slavery and the Failure of Emancipation by Kris Manjapra.

I was just thinking about how much I like Tesla’s and once they deal with that shitty battery charging time I would definitely line up to buy one or similar vehicle. I really would not consider buying a Tesla today. I’m surprised by my reaction, but I really don’t wanna do anything to support that dude financially. Someone from X reached out to me to advertise and I explained to him how I’ve been locked out of my account for 18 months and suggested it may have been some DEI bullshit. THE GUY CATEGORICALLY DENIED THAT IT WOULD BE DEI. I SENT THEM A SCREENSHOT SHOWING HOW I CAN’T EVEN SEE MY ACCOUNT AND I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING BACK SINCE. I’M NOT SURPRISED HE’S IS JUST A SALES GUY (I have no idea why that block of text changed to all caps. I’m not going back and re-dictating it again.) But back to the question; unless there were people inside the car when it was set on fire I don’t think it’s an act of domestic terrorism. Anyone setting cars on fire should be punished to the full extent of the law, but it’s not like some guy with a vest strapped to himself, walking into a mall and blowing himself and anyone nearby up.
