    Girls (and guys too), how did the lack of representation affect you while you were growing up?

    It did suck not having representation in a lot of things. I was seeing it happen with movies and tv, but we didn't get many toys of our own, it was always the white people toys. But, I will admit I had my share of Batman figures. But, it would have been dope to see a black Batman finally come...

    So wait... Now we have to pay Bezos?

    That's the world we live in. The rich keep getting rich and we keep getting poorer and poorer. These rich people really need to start paying taxes and paying more into the world in general. Too many rich people getting away with paying their employees barely anything.

    Trump, Biden or someone else as president instead?

    I will start by saying that I don't like either Trump or Biden. Honestly, I'd much prefer someone else being president over these two. I kinda liked that Andrew Wang dude, but he didn't fight very hard and we ended up with Biden, who seems braindead most of the time. I honestly can't see Biden...

    Does anyone here have their own YouTube? Is it worth creating content there?

    I've wanted to try my hands at becoming a YouTuber, but it sees YouTube is dying out as of late. Does anyone here do YouTube? How is it? If you're getting the views, are you making good money as well? Back in the day I heard YouTube was great for making money, but these days it seems like it's...

    Your views on abortion, for or against it?

    I'm very iffy on it to be honest. My sister had an abortion, but she had it early on to where there was no considerable growth. I think late term abortion should be illegal, unless in the case of someone having health issues. I think if you want to do a plan B pill after having sex, do it. If...

    Wigs, Weave, Natural - What is your preference?

    Natural for me for me most of the time, but I really like women with afros as well. Sadly I've been balding since high school, so I kinda just embraced it and cut the rest of my hair off. Plus, we black men look great bald anyway, so it works out either way for me.

    Do you have any dating horror stories?

    I went on a date with this one chick I met on a dating site. We chatted for a few months before we met though, and I thought she was perfect for me. Like she enjoyed everything I liked, from the food (or so I thought), to the shows and movies. So I was thinking I found the one, this is it ya...

    Why were people so hard on Simone Biles?

    Yeah the same with the Naomi Osaka situation, that tennis player that didn't want to do interviews for the media. And due to that, had to backout of the event. I think everyone has anxiety, but some people have it way worse. I couldn't imagine myself being out in front of the world. I could be...

    750k Household at Risk of Evictions

    It's messed up. The way Americans are tossed out of their homes is crazy. I hope the landlords out there don't kick these tenants out. I know it's a rough time for all and tenants are hurting bad too, but I think we need to work together to protect the people. But, the US doesn't care. They...

    Are designer labels even worth the cost?

    I don't care for designer things, mainly because I never see a point in the pricing of said clothes and items. I go for comfort, and just get clothing and items I enjoy. Fancy clothes are cool and all, but I'm not made of money and designer stuff is way overpriced in my opinion.

    Do you think the bad aspects of different cultures in the west are being praised too much?

    I blame it on the news and social media. It's so easy to go out there and speak your mind, but it also means people of differencing and dumber opinions come around to share their dumb thoughts that only hurt or make us go backwards. I blame it a lot with social media, because of how everyone is...

    They put Martin Luther King Jr's "I Have a Dream" Speech in Fortnite

    It's so damn weird, but I kinda understand what they were going for here. Still a bit weird to put it in a game where the point is to shoot and kill enemies. I know you can't do it during this, but the fact that players can emote and do dumb things, makes it feel really distasteful to me. I...

    How do you manage your finances and debts?

    I play things very safe. After my parents struggled with money their whole lives, and went into a lot of debt, I decided I was going to change that for me. So ever since, I've kind of pinched pennies. Not like extreme cheapskate style, but more just I tried to save as much money as I could. And...

    Do you enjoy partying on the weekends, or doing something else?

    I used to party every weekend with my lady and friends. But I turned 30 and I honestly couldn't deal with the hangovers, and to be honest, I kind got bored of doing it so much. My weekends these days are hanging with the family, meeting friends on occasion, and maybe gaming, watching movies and...

    13 Year Old Becomes Youngest Student on Georgia Teach Campus

    Kids something special. I wish I had the brain he had growing up. The fact he's in college at the age of 13, is impressive. Oh hell yeah! I 100% agree. We need to be showcasing the future. I hope my future children are better than me. Because if they are, that means I'm doing something right.

    Would you ever be into an open relationship?

    I've thought of doing this before, but have not dared to ask my girl if she'd be into it. That is, an open relationship where we can go ahead and see other people. I don't think she would ever do it, and I bet she'd kill me if I even suggested it. But have any of you's been in a successful open...

    Spike Lee does not believe the official 9/11 report: ‘I got questions’

    Honestly, I have no idea what to believe. I believe there's a lot more to the story than what the government says, they always seem to leave more out. How does something like 9-11 even happen? I just realized it's been 20 years, it still feels like it happened recently. But yeah, there's...

    If you won the lottery, what's the first thing you'd do?

    I dream all the time of winning the lottery, but I don't think I would ever, even if I play it every single day, the chance of me winning is so low. But, there is always that chance that I could win. If you happened to win the lottery, what is the first thing you'd do? I know for a fact I'd...

    Anyone attend college here? Is it even worth it to attend?

    I agree with Geoff. College is made for certain jobs, but there are so many jobs we can take up as trades and do instead. As well, we have so many resources online now, that we can literally lean everything you'd learn in college, right in the comfort of your own home. And you don't need to go...

    Cannabis legal where you live?

    Here in Texas it's not legal to my understanding. You can get CBD oil and gummies, but I don't think you can get it legally otherwise. A friend of mine lives in Michigan and he is able to buy cannabis no problem. When do you think the whole US will legalize it? Would be even better if they...
