One of my favorite emcees of all time, creative, inspirational, and mysterious. Some don't get his style, and that's ok, but if you do you can't stop digging into his discography. Fly high Doom

I don't know anymore.

Have you ever been in an online relationship? I have not, though I will admit I have used online dating, and I guess that kinda counts, but I usually meet the women I date from that. Anyway, my little bro told me he is interested in this woman he's been talking to a few months now. They've decided to officially date, even made it "Facebook Official" recently. She lives pretty far away and all they've ever done was skype and chat that way.

That's why I don't think she's a catfish, but then again, I haven't looked her up. It's not my life. I'm just making sure he doesn't go ahead and send her tons of money or anything, because if that happens, I know something's up. He wants to meet her, but he can't afford it yet. She has suggested places to go to meet and they are working on making that happen though. So it does seem legit if she's also working with him to meet up. so idk.

Would you ever do an online relationship if you know who you're talking with?

Who would you guys and gals say were your celebrity crushes growing up? Or even now? Growing up I was always into Meagan Goode and Stacey Dash. My god, they're both still stunning to this day, but damn, when I was a kid and teen, I was in love. Then came Beyonce and she took over my interest for a while. :D

What about you? Who was your celebrity crush(s) growing up?

How was school life for you all growing up? I went to a mostly white school, but for the most part, wasn't too bad. I dealt with my fair share of racism from white people. Gradually I got used to it, and I ended up making friends and I think the whole thing about it, helped me grow, but helped others grow. Because a lot of the people I hung out with, didn't have a black friend, but when they hung out with me, they realized they didn't hate black people, they were just taught by racist parents.

Anyway, it was rough at times, especially elementary school, because so many kids questioned who I was, why I was there, and so on. But, I guess that happens when you're one of the only black kids at a mostly white school back in the 90s. But yeah, I made friends, had my share of bullies and all that. But once high school came around, I would say I was pretty popular or well liked by my classmates. Still dealt with racist douchebags from time to time, but it wasn't that bad for the most part.

But, how was your school experience like? Any stories to share?

We knew this would happen, I hope it was worth it.

Everyone knows Jimi Hendrix but it seems like a lot of other black artists in the metal and hard rock genres get overlooked. I listen to a bit of everything these days. I am not opposed to giving even metal a try if it hits right but I wanna find actual black artists to listen to in these other genres. Does anyone know of some suggestions?

Whoever wrote this doesn't know what they are talking about, and I would bet my house that it's some clueless pale male who wrote this garbage.
The first few sentences exposes the ignorance, Hip hop started 30 years ago?... really.

Say you won it, inherited, found it, was gifted it, or whatever - If you someone had 5 million tomorrow in your bank account, what would you do with the money? I know a lot of people who would just blow through it in a few years and be worse off than before they had it while others will actually plan, invest, and ensure they and their family have a stable future.

I saw this ad on IG, peep the hashtags: I saw #blackownedbusiness and decided to check them out. Upon closer inspection, I found out that Enzo Footwear is actually a Chinese company in blackface, and their entire inventory can be found on sites like Wish & Aliexpress.

We have to be wary of companies trying to scam us out of our Black dollars.

Interesting to watch

How many black people do you think paid?... I'll give you a hint, starts with a Z and ends with an O.
This has white people written all over it.

This is the tweet that set this question off on Twitter. Everyone got mad and WSG proclaimed that he's a legend. I have my thoughts but I want to hear yours before I say anything.

Looking at their brother's junk and the movements they were doing. I know the ladies don't think this is sexy. Weird little skit.

Can anyone explain this?

I'm curious, if given the opportunity, and it was legal in the US, would you marry more than one person? I know polygamy isn't legal everywhere, but it is legal in some states I believe. Could you handle a polygamist marriage?

I think it's mainly outdated, because women in polygamous relationships, don't seem to be very free. But then again, those are mostly the weird white families who have like 5 moms and 20 kids all together.

What are your thoughts on this?

The Cardinals are now 7-1, same as the Packers after their loss to them last night. I thought the Cardinals would win, but they through an INT instead due to a miscommunication in the play. It resulted in an easy INT that ended the game. Sucky way to end your win-streak, but hey, it was bound to happen sooner anyway.

Here's the play:

And we got this comedy gold during the game. It's been memed to hell already.

This is a tough one for me, because if I met someone from across the US or in another country and we hit it off, I would like to think I'd still want to meet somehow. But, that's easier said than done. Would you move far to be with someone you met with online?

I think I would take it very slow of course, no way would I travel day one or a few months into talking. I think after we fully know each other and have maybe even video chatted often, then maybe. But she would need to be the one I think.

Would anyone here move far away to meet the person they are interested in?

Have you ever taken a day or even a week off from using tech? Maybe it's the internet, gaming, watching tv, using your phone too much, etc. Mainly, taking a break from the internet.

I have thought about leaving the tech behind for a week or two, just to see how I feel after leaving it behind for a while. I honestly don't think I can live without my phone and games. I think I would get used to it, but I know the first few days would be tough.

What about you though, ever take a day of week off from using most tech?

After becoming conscious of how this system of white supremacy works (many yeas ago) when i talk to the older people in my family (most are baby boomers) I hear slight coonin' in their reasoning and thinking. I didn't really notice it when i was younger but now I pick up on a lot of things they say. One of my own personal tests i do on them is ask why didn't more black people back Malcom X . I've heard " he's a trouble maker" "he worships that devil stuff" (Islam). I don't really argue back, I just keep it in the back of my mind and keep my distance.
The baby boomer generation really were a bunch of scared negros who wouldn't go against white people. it's sad to see this type of thinking in my family ,sad actually.

anyone with similar issues?

(grammar police, pull pin on this here round thing)

Making it to be a middle aged black man, FBA, has me thinking back on my mindset as it pertains to the racial structure of these here Americas.

One of my most prevalent thoughts in my twenties and thirties was....how are "these people" all acting the same, to various degrees of barbarism, no matter where you are? How is it as a Black man I can go to another Black man anywhere in the country and say "man it's rough out here" -- "man I can't call it" and we instantly know what is being talked about without further clarification?

Well the answer is obvious now as it was then, Media. How do you get an entire population on code while demonizing another? Movie, Books, Music, News.

I'm not here to insult your intelligence, you know these things already, you've seen the overt movies and read the overt books and heard the overt music and news. But do you think it has abated or do you think it's still here?

Just read this article that is part and parcel of a thousand cuts. (LeBron James can't believe 'Squid Game' creator's retort to his criticism)

"The feud we never knew we needed: NBA legend LeBron James facing off with "Squid Game" creator Hwang Dong-hyuk. One would probably win handily on the basketball court. One would probably defeat the other at the Emmys without breaking a sweat."

How is it, arguably the greatest basketball player living can only "handily" beat an Asian movie director in basketball but the Asian movie director can take out LeBron "without breaking a sweat". This falls into their favorite category of implied Black inferiority and plausible deniability. Neither one of them would "break a sweat" making a movie if we want to go there. Notice the words "win" and "defeat", if you can win that means you can lose, if you "defeat", there's no chance of losing.

You as a black person are bombarded with these micro aggressions and you as a black person are suppose to apologize for being offended.


I present to you a filter that once you start using it, you will not "find" but "observe" the anti-black sentiment in all forms of media/movies. It will actually be an onslaught of anti-black negativity that will/should have you disgusted even with your favorite movies (Color Purple, Magnificent Seven, Black Panther etc etc). First and foremost no matter how painful it is...watch "They Live"..this movie will be your template and adjust your mindset. Once you turn on these filters you won't be able to turn them off.

Filters
Black man is never allowed to be a survivable alpha male (Denzel in Magnificent Seven, Will Smith Legend) (Murder at 1600 with Wesley Snipes you say?? at the conclusion of that movie Wesley yells gun and ducks for cover, Diane Lane while handcuffed jumps in front of the bullet)

Black men and Women couples must always show some sort of discomfort or disdain for each other. Pay attention to commercials with a black woman and man, they are mostly never in loving lock step.

Blacks are always some type of coward. (John Boyega in Star Wars)

Blacks are always traitors (Lando in SW, Denzel Training Day, any secondary black saying it can't be done or it's too dangerous)

Blacks are to give their lives for whites (Will Smith Legend, T-dog TWD) (HONORABLE MENTION to Stowaway on Netflix...def watch that)

Blacks are never in charge (who thought Morpheus was in charge in the Matrix only to find out it was some old white dude? How about Shaw and Hobbs, Idris Elba wasn't even fully in charge as the bad guy. Tomorrow War with Chris Pratt, the Black man was already a veteran of the war but was not even considered to lead the expedition)

Black disrespect (The level of disrespect to a black person often comes out of nowhere, it almost hits you like a ton of bricks. For instance in the movie Brian Banks, there's scene of the Black man tossing up and down a banana in a throw away scene! In Jungle Cruise the white woman is NEVER set up to be some sort of drawing artist but on the boat she's arbitrarily drawing a picture of a monkey while looking at Dwayne the Rock and the picture has no plot device except for back room Hollyweird laughter.

Do you think White people and Black people watched the new planet of the apes movies the same way? The answer is no.

It's easy to say if you don't like it blah blah blah or if you don't like it don't watch or you are too sensitive....well in the real world people disrespect you in these very same ways because they see it all day every day. This is where micro aggression comes from and every time you let it go or don't get too worked up about it.....it will continue to happen to YOU.

We fix this by having a collective outrage about it and demanding that it changes. I can complain in the dark on an island or I can hold hands and complain. One of these scenarios gets things done.
