That question is unanswerable. All you could do is speculate, and your speculations will be based purely on the stereotypes you hold. So the answer your question is, I have no freaking idea besides the very promise of the question is really nonsensical. Here we go… using what you’ve personally seen on social media is one of the worst ways to prove a point, even your personal anecdote would be superior. You don’t control what you see on social media some little white boy in Silicon Valley decides what you see and they’re only goal is keep you glued to the screen. If you take any advice from me stay off social media. It’s not a source of useful information. It’s not your friend. All it cares about is controlling your attention for as long as possible, and by any means necessary.

Laugh out loud funny! I do believe young people are influenced by the images in the media especially socially media. “Influencers” are a thing for this reason. I’m just not sure how much they are influenced by two middle-aged women and their run of the mill looking white boy mates. I prefer someone from my ethnicity than someone from an entirely different one who I gotta explain basic shit to. But everybody’s different. some people want someone who’s from a completely different culture? They get off on it. If we’re visited by aliens, we all know there’s gonna be brothers that’s gonna wanna screw them . (funny they made a big deal of Captain Kirk kissing Lieutenant Uhuru back in the 60s but didn’t say a single thing about him, kissing that green chick.)

@Pioneer1 do you believe that anyone parted the Red Sea so that people can walk across it? Do you believe someone walked on water? Do you believe someone was raised from the dead? Do you believe someone was conceived by immaculate conception? Are these mistakes? Are they allegories? To your way of thinking there can be no holy books. People determine what is holy. The Bible is holy the Quran is holy it doesn’t matter what you I think. These books are holy IMHO. wars and many millions of people have died over them. Our president has to put their hand on one when they swear their oath of office. People have to put their hand on a Bible before they take witness stand. many people have put their hands on Bibles then immediately proceed to break the 9th commandment, with the apparently no ill effect. Trump is a multi billionaire and he regularly breaks numerous Commandments. Someone will say eternal damn nation awaits him. But all he has to do is ask for forgiveness in his final moments and he’ll be good — at least that’s my understanding…. Thief on the cross.

People tend to imagine us vividly before we even exist. --- shoot we better Open the pod doors Hal!

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

I undwerstood. I was just emphasizing the bible for most of its existence couldn't be read due to illiteracy. The printing press was invented until 1,500 years after Jesus the Christ's death. Basically, reading the Good Book is not a requirement for being a Christian. So I wouldn't beat them up on that point.

@ProfD I’m not sure what difference they would make if people read the Bible. There are so many different interpretations It’s hard to believe it describes the same religion. Pioneer, for example, believes, the Bible teaches us that Black men have the biggest penises and accepts this revelation as proof that it is true — and this is after reading the Bible in four different languages! People can read the Bible and make it justify anything. The reality is that for the vast majority of time the Christianity has been in existence, most of its followers could not read the Bible.

Pioneer, I repeat your conclusion the Bible has provided proof that Black people have the biggest dicks. Your bizarreconclusion speaks for itself. As far as telling you what it the passage actually means. (1) I know with 100% certainty. It does not mean what you have asserted. (2) why waste my time when you will reject or ignore my reply. I will not provide the meeting for you, (3) biblical scholars can disagree on what it means, however, I can guarantee not one thinks it means what you do. you are literate and all of these languages, man I’m impressed maybe I should call you ProfP!

It’s sad to see anyone speaking like this in public has become normalized. The leader of the free world talks like ignorant trailer park trash. I guess he’s speaking to his base.

This video popped up when I brought up YouTube today. On some level it feels like Google knows I was talking about this subject Neil describes 13 of things you should consider when evaluating information online. Some of this is common sense. @Pioneer1, for what it is worth, you should check out this video. Perhaps it will help you think about information you pull from the web and how you use it to form opinions.

Hi @Kimberly S. Love is this the correct ISBN 9798218669324? If so, I can’t find the book in BookScan, Ingram, or even Amazon. How did you discover our site?
