Him?????

[Chevdove]

Serena is charming and it seems to me that her husband dotes over her and gives her the respect that she deserves.

When Kendrick Lamar ask her to support his efforts, she came running--literally! She has shown her support for 

her people. Leave her alone!

If she wants a ring and Black men don't come through with it...she will be happy with the man who does.
 

Maybe it's not the RING that she actually wants.
Maybe it's a White man.
Maybe it's mixed children.

I said MAYBE.....because I don't know for sure one way or the other.


 

Women don't have to marry them though. There must be something ielse in it for them.
 

Thus my thread about "mejorando la raza" and the desire to leave one's own race or ethnicity for one PERCEIVED to be better.

I'm not saying this is the case with Serena.
However we've all known Black people who vocally express their fondness for light skinned babies with curly or wavy hair or what they call "pretty" babies.
And I've known some...male and female...who purposefully and shamelessly decided to mate with White and non-Black people TO produce those type of offspring.
 

Fuck tangibles.
That alone.....being "closer" to Whiteness....is what they really value more than wealth!
 

Tired of giving up the snatch box for fun without a commitment.
 

Some women DON'T get tired of it though, lol.
There are many here in the United States, but in Canada and Europe there a LOT of women past 40 who have never been married and have no desire to.  They just want to date and remain single OR alone.
As you rightly pointed out, they don't need a man to be happy.
 

A lot of women are about that life and not about "making deals" with the coochie...lol.
That's a mentality that comes from being brought up to believe you SHOULD get married or make a man "work" for sexual access to your body.
In some countries, that mentality isn't as prevalent.



 

Over time, for any number of reasons, it takes more than s8x to sustain a long-term relationship
 

Facts.
However, as we discussed before....many women AREN'T looking for a long term relationship.

 

 

 

 

Some men believe it is their right to have s8x with a woman of any group. 

 

I believe in America it IS a man's right.
Not his right to FORCE himself on any woman, but his right to BE with any unmarried woman who desires to be with him.

And the same for the women.

That doesn't mean I have to LIKE it though, lol.

 

 

Grown azz women are not being tricked or manipulated into having s8x with men. 

 

I consider brainwashing and other tactics that White racists use in the media and in society in general to condition the minds of so many women to "love" them and see them as ideal and superior to other men....a form of manipulation.

The very image of a White Jesus as a "savior" is part of that manipulation.

 

 

 

 

 

When you grow up seeing THIS image on your wall and being told how wonderful and great this man is and how he saves you from all of your problems, your subconscious automatically attributes these characteristics to every man who LOOK like him.

You grow up with an automatic love for and faith in White men and don't even know where it comes from.

She's entitled to it, but I'm also entitled to CRITIQUE it.

If her way of dealing with racism is to marry a White man OR not deal with it at all, that's her right.
I wouldn't take that away from her.
 

Infact, I'd LIKE to know which women prefer White men over me so I know who I should help and who I shouldn't.
 

I love, protect, and help the women who have MY back.
No hate involved.
Straight up business.

Burnt chocolate n8gglets chasing high yellow women to have better looking children
 

It's a sickness that needs to be "conditioned" out of our people with a program of self esteem and self respect.

 

 

Women don't make deals with men to whom they're attracted.

 

Lol....I hear (read) you.
Actually, it depends on HOW attracted they are to the man.

A lot of women will find a man attractive and all she want from him is just his attention and love.
But her friends and family will DEMAND that she get more out of him and that's where the "dealing" often takes place.

 

This is especially true with a lot of women from non-Western cultures where the men are expected to offer a certain amount of provision in exchange for a woman's "love".

 

 

 

Most women would prefer to have a relationship of some kind rather than be alone.

 

Facts.
I would say this is the case with human beings in general both female AND male.

Even if the relationship is strictly platonic or intimate but non-sexual.
We crave that human interaction.

 

 

 

 

 

We know how the laws would be written in Pioneer1-Land

 

Come on man, I've made it clear on a number of occasions that although I DO NOT like White men having sexual contact and loving on White men, I wouldn't prevent it.

 

If I were king and had total authority...I wouldn't make laws against it, lol. 

Why?
Because again, I want to KNOW which women are down for me and other Black men and which ones are not.

I also like the challenge of CHANGING Black women (especially African women) who were infatuated with White men TO falling in love with Black men by showing them a better side of us that what they've been conditioned to believe in the media.

 

I personally don't believe Black men are trying hard enough to overcome the propaganda being formulated against us by their racists.
Especially with regards to foreign women.
Many bruthaz think it's cool to "not care" what other people think about them, not knowing the damage that is being done while they are indifferent to it.

We NEED women.
Not just physically but psychologically....to motivate us to be better.

How motivating is it to hear women of YOUR group calling other races of men "cute",  getting on the internet proclaiming how happy they are to be with them, and even encouraging OTHER women to do the same?

What kind of self-hating madness is that?

You can't do that when the chorus is growing and getting louder and louder.
Men aren't built to "ignore" criticism from the women in their community...unless they're gay or asexual.
We are biologically programed to tune in to what they're thinking about us so that we can adjust our behavior for more sexual attention which leads to reproduction.

Both
 

What I've noticed is since the 90s 3 things have been promoted towards our community:

 

1. Promoting the thug and criminal lifestyle as attractive.
2. Promoting White men as a viable alternative for Black women (and pointing to those same thug/criminal Black men as the reason why)
3. Promoting LGBTQIA lifestyle in our community. 

 

All three of these....when taken to their conclusion...leads to the destruction of a community.
And this is exactly what has been promoted since the 90s.

On one end self destructive behavior is being promoted as "ideal" and on the other end that same self destructive behavior is pointed at as the reason why our community is in crisis.
 

These problems are orchestrated.

 Is it that men choose women for different reasons OTHER THAN physical needs, or is it that physical needs actually CHANGE?

I generally prefer women over 40.
However if I hit 80 or 90 and still got some money in my pocket......
Don't put it past me to fly in 4 or 5 tenderonies from Rwanda or Mozambique to give me baths, fix me food, and keep me warm in bed....lol.

They aren't here to explain they the system DIDN'T work for them.

2. Many Black folks are still around but are locked up.

Far more than 20% of Black America is doing fairly well even in this society, however again....for the sake of discussion....if we have a system with only a 20% success rate.....
Meaning only 20% of the population actually LIVE and stays out of prison, and can actually make a living for themselves.

Black folks have had at least a whole century to come up with an alternative to the system of racism white supremacy. 

 

Black folks are unwilling to use violence in order protect themselves against ot overthrow the system of white supremacy.

 

Black folks do not seem interested in practicing group economics and politics in a manner similar to the Jews.

 

Black folks have seemingly found a comfortable spot making it under the system of racism white supremacy.

[Pioneer1]

Why are they locked up?

 

Good question.

I would say various reasons:

-Some are innocent and couldn't afford proper legal representation
-Some are guilty of the crimes they were accused of and should be in
-Some are guilty of the crimes that shouldn't be "crimes" at all

 

But to answer your question directly: 
They are locked up because SOMEBODY locked them up.
Somebody with more power than them.

 

 

Black folks have had at least a whole century to come up with an alternative to the system of racism white supremacy. 

 

And we have.
Not only have our people come up with AN alternative; but through out the centuries we've come up with MULTIPLE alternatives!

 

But there are 2 major problems standing in the way:

1. Those multiple alternatives from multiple people is a sign of the DISUNITY that exists among us and prevents so many of us from choosing the BEST alternative and focusing on it to replace the System of Racism

 

2. The System of Racism has been so strong and dominant that it's been hard to get any alternative system going.
 

 

 

Black folks do not seem interested in practicing group economics and politics in a manner similar to the Jews.

 

They don't seem "uninterested" to me.
They seem VERY interested in how other ethnicities practice group economics.

 

The INTEREST and DESIRE are certainly there.
It's the ABILITY of our people to do the same, that I call into question....for the reasons I stated earlier.

However Black people in the United States are in the position that we can actually make and enforce our own laws.

Nothing is stopping US from developing our own policing organizations and crafting our own laws in certain jurisdictions.

You get them from time to time, but like we both say....many Black folks are COMFORTABLE living under this system.
They don't want to protest it because they enjoy it.

Brotha Gregory said we can sit back and watch white folks implode on themselves.
 

Even THAT is a dangerous strategy.
They tried it already back during the first Trump administration, but it didn't implode.
 

It's like a man who's sentenced to triple life in prison and he points to 2 Corrections Officers arguing with eachother as evidence that the prison system is going to "collapse" any day now.

Black men have been mixing it up doing for many decades going all the way back to world wars.

 

Tiger Woods and Naomi Osaka are byproducts of Black men planting seeds in non-Black fertile soil.

 

It was only a matter of time before Black women spread a little sunshine elsewhere.

Right. We didn't do enough.

Not enough of the right things atleast.
There was more of a focus on trying to integrate into White society than building up our own.
This led to more of our people trying to act like and BE White, than taking pride in being ourselves.
 

 

 

 

 

The Malcolm X movie had dudes wearing X hats. They were wearing Afrocentric mediallions too.

I remember those days quite well...lol.

 

 

 

 

TV shows like Cosby, A Different World, Martin and Living Single were pro-Black but showed us in a upwardly mobile light.

 

The upward mobility part I liked.
I didn't have a problem with it.

What I WOULD criticize those shows over is not glamorizing dark skin and African features enough.
Both Martin and A Different World portrayed light skinned women as more "beautiful" and desirable and chased after while the darker skinned women were often clowned on or portrayed as sexually frustrated and always "wanting" a man.

 

 

 

 

Black folks on the west coast have been wearing permed and colored hair and colored contacts for several decades.

 

This has existed among our people around the country to a MINOR DEGREE for decades.
However the difference today is:

1. Most Black women with blonde hair seem to honestly NOT SEE anything wrong or odd about it or how it's a sign of self hatred. They are no longer ashamed of trying to be like White women. Many of them don't even think they ARE trying to be like White women.

2. Unlike the past where most Black people would AGREE with you that Black women shouldn't be dying their hair blonde, today many people in our community will ARGUE WITH YOU that it's ok for them to do it.
The perspective and ethics of it has changed.

 

 

 

 

 

That's why Black folks look like the united colors of benetton.

This is why I no longer consider many of them "Black".
I call them what they are....bi-racial or multi-racial.

It's getting to the point where people with 3 White grandparents and 1 Black grandparent are running around talking about "nigga" this and that and calling themselves Black even though their skin is nearly White and their hair is blonde.
And they are being accepted!

To me, there's limit or boundary....after that is crossed you are no longer Black...lol.
 

Pretty soon you'll have a situation like you have in the NBA with a bunch of yellow skinned shaggy haired boys running around representing "Blackness" as if THEY and how THEY look are somehow the standard of what AfroAmericans look like.

When a real sho' nuff AfroAmerican comes around...he'll look like an outsider.

The boule Black folks have always existed too. They had a problem with the Blackest of us.

Hollywood ultimately controls the content.

In part, we can thank the boule n8gglets for downplaying our Blackness.

Tiger Woods said it out loud when he classified himself as Cablinasian. Opened the floodgates of racial identity confusion.

Until Black folks own the game of life, there's little or nothing we can do about it.

 

Thankfully, I'll be dead and gone when Black becomes more diluted to the point of white chocolate.

Nor do  you seem to have the least idea  what aphrodisiacs power and intellect can be.

 

@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.

 

 

[aka Contrarian]

Some of you act like white women don't bleach their hair blond. Half the blondes out there of any race are "bottle blondes". Blond hair is a "style" that anyone can affect if they so choose, just like long or short hair. "Vanity, thy name is woman."

You also act like  skin color is the only race marker, and ignore the reality of blackness being a "state of mind" that is manifested in many ways. Self-appointed arbitrators of how "we" are supposed to look, are superficial themselves. Slave descendants run the gamut of skin color, and if they identify as black, then nobody else has the authority to say different. The same with mixed individuals.  Who gave anybody the authority or credentials to designate who is "black". Melanin does not obliterate all other factors.

 

Furthermore, If it makes a woman happy to lighten her skin and liberate herself from what she has undoubtedly experienced as a burden, then that's nobody's business but her own. Forget the "psycho-babbo" about the situation. Just cause "Malcolm said" something doesn't make it sacrosanct. He was not infallible. Nor dark-skinned.

And I'm sure brothas are the  main culprit in motivating certain sistas to want to modify their appearance.

It never ceases to amaze me how empowered  some people think they are when it comes to branding 39,000,000 people.
