  1. 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
  2. They’re opening a few here in Florida I don’t recall ever going to one.
  3. 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?
  4. 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.”
  5. 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?
  6. Trump, Clinton, and JFK were bachelor too, even though they were married. 😉
  7. 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.
  8. 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 😉
  9. 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)?
  10. 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 🫣
  11. 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.😉
  12. @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.
  13. 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!
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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?
  17. I forgot all about them. In fact, I would go to the least two or three times a month when I worked on Wall Street.
  18. In the sciences, I believe the Nobel prizes are mostly earned as you actually have to do something. Nobel peace prize they gave to Obama was clearly not earned. He killed more people with drone attacks than the Bush. Cheney administration did and that saying a lot!
  19. @Pioneer1 so I gather you do not consider yourself a biblical scholar. I provided bullet points on how I arrived at my conclusion. Reading your original passages and researching them took all of five minutes. You could have done that, indeed you should’ve done that before you posted the passage. The only reason I took the time to research, the meaning of the passage was that it was provocative. I wasn’t aware that there was any language like that in the Bible so I was curious to learn what it meant I won’t bother doing it for you because I already know there is nothing that I can say that will get you to think differently about what you posted. From your perspective, the Bible has provided proof that Black people have the biggest dicks. 😇
  20. No, it doesn’t make you gay, but it does make you odd regardless of your sexuality, as the behavior is completely inappropriate in our culture wouldn’t you agree? If you were in a locker room and noticed a dude sitting across from you, staring at your penis, wouldn’t that strike you as weird and make you wonder what the dude’s problem was? As far as the rest of your responses, my faith in you has been restored 🙂 that last part was funny too. This statement is problematic because you have not provided evidence or proof. Your anecdotes are not proof either. I don’t recall ever reading any report, article. or data set that you shared that has proven a point you were trying to make. The fact that you believe you’ve previously provided proof for a genetic basis for race. Often I describe the reasons why but you either ignore or reject them — rather than addressing my points the way Frankster did, you just go back to calling it proof. After years of you doing this, I just put you in the “incorrigible” bucket. You have never ever written anything close to “Hey, I never thought of it that way” or “upon further reflection I’ve changed my viewpoint” or “you know I was wrong.” I would bet this is true, even in real life. Am I wrong Pioneer? That might be true for some people, but not everyone. Some people are lifelong learners and are open to new ideas and willing to challenge their existing ones. In fact, it’s the main reason I’m here. I like reading what y’all have to say some of it I might agree, disagree, or ignore it. I don’t respond to Richard’s post because they are generally too long for me to get into I don’t get into chevdove’s religious stuff because I’m not religious. But there is room for everybody. What should be the point? If I express opinion that you disagree with and you explain why I will definitely consider it — especially if my opinion is based upon something that’s factually incorrect — I wanna be checked. But we live in the information age where facts are increasingly more difficult to discern. AI will make it far more difficult if not impossible.
  21. Well @frankster is intellectually honest. Let's give him a chance to review my comments, the data you shared and reply. It is interesting that you shared this quote. You might consider applying it to your assessment of @aka Contrarian.
  22. @ProfD are you saying that Jews influence that awarding of Nobel Prizes with money? In the sciences that seems unlikely.
  23. Sorry I was unclear; my plan increased by 500% but I was able to find another plan on healthcare.gov that was the same price as my original plan, so my health care costs did not go up.
  24. Yeah that is probably why Jewish people punch over their weight when it comes to winning Noble Prizes and we dominate in basketball.
  25. The best 🙂 Can be excellent too, but inconsistent -- location matters. The one on Canal street in NOLA is the bomb the one around the corner from me sucks. Speaking wings, why is Wing Stop so damn expensive?! My wings are far better than there's shoot, I might make some tonight!
