    Negro league

    I often wonder about sports in general in America. Most of them, their top athletes are black men and women. I know back in the day, most teams were whiter than the first snow of the season but looking around now, we can clearly see who has more value in sports. I am thankful for what MLK did...

    Do You Eat And Make Mexican Food?

    I mean, I eat at Chipotle but that is about as far as I go with it. It is funny to think about how people do tacos differently in different areas, depending on who is making them as well. I always thought adding cheese and lettuce was just the "Americanized" version. Just like Chinese joints do...

    Viral images show people of color as anti-Asian perpetrators. That misses the big picture.

    What can I say, I fell for the manipulation. I can admit I was wrong here. I apologize for that. It is no secret hate crimes against black people in America are the highest year after year. The focus misled me, clearly. This is why I hate the media. They lie. My judgment gets clouded cause I...

    Do you think white women are glamorizing black men?

    You notice how a lot of commercials and ads are promoting mixed couples where the man is black and the woman is white? I have to assume this is on purpose to further the divide between black women and black men. Thankfully more people are waking up to it. Successful mixed-race couples are rare...

    Would you ever consider micro-farming?

    That is a good thing to consider. Crops take a LONG time to produce and they don't last. I think back to Genesis with this how Adam's curse from God dealt with crops and harvest. Food was never meant to be this difficult to come by. But yeah, learning how to can, fermentate, and freeze your...

    Would you ever consider micro-farming?

    You ever see those setups that use aquariums for indoor farming of herbs and other small veg? I was watching videos on that last year and I couldn't believe something like that could work but it does. The fish provided a balanced and nutrient-rich soil that fed the plants beautifully without the...

    Would Tom Brady have had success if he started on another team?

    I don't think so. From what I remember when I used to watch the NFL, he was only as gifted as the men around him. A lot of his credit, his skill, etc. comes from having a great team and a leveled coach. I think this is the case for most QBs though. They all have skill but they seldom get to...

    Would you ever consider micro-farming?

    I am not sure if "micro-farming" is the proper term here but what I mean by this is having a smaller scaled farm. Like you have a garden for fruit and veg, some chickens for eggs, maybe a pig or two you raise up for meat, and a horse if that is your thing. The more prices seem to be getting out...

    What famous people have you met or know?

    I can't say I have "met" anyone famous. I did see Martin Lawrence in an airport once. I said hi to him from a distance and he waved. That was about it. lol I don't get out enough to hot spots where it is common to see famous people. A friend of mine met loads of people down in Vegas.

    Do you think white women are glamorizing black men?

    I know there are genuine mixed-race couples who have great success but those cases are few and far in between, at least from what I have seen. Like I said, I am fine with people being with who they want but it seems like a lot of white women are out there being with black men either because it...

    Do you think white women are glamorizing black men?

    I was thinking about this. I see so much content online of white women with black men and it seems like they are glamourizing their relationships as it is some sort of status. Like they are almost showing them off like they are a trophy of some kind and it makes me hella uncomfortable. I am all...

    Do you have a budget and financial plan?

    A lot of people I talk to around my age don't. Like they have their wants and needs but no one is making moves to make it happen. Like if you want to buy a house, you have to manage your finances, budget accordingly, and save. You can't just coat by and spend your money carelessly. Curious to...

    MJ Owned Eminem

    MJ was unlike most people in the industry. He was hard-working, humble, talented beyond measure, and he was down to earth. I still get pissed when people try throwing him under the bus calling him a pedo. Em is nothing compared to this man.

    Eviction Pandemic

    There are rumors that the dude was touching his own daughter in the shower when she was a little girl and the reason his son (hunter) ended up a mess is cause he witnessed it. Sicko probably made him watch. I will not put this kind of ish past any of these old, dirty, white politicians. They all...

    "Schmeat"

    Yeah, the culture surrounding the generation is more of an issue than the term itself. I feel like corporations are just out there trying to market people based off this BS and sadly, it works for a lot of people.

    Online Business Ideas For 2022?

    People care too much about labels and being "different", even in bad ways. Some younger people are so desperate to stand out from everyone else they are making up labels, pronouns, and sexualities. This seems to be more of an issue with the white people though at least in the US. They are trying...

    Eviction Pandemic

    He is Mr Burns with half the brain cells. I swear one day the curtain is going to fall on national news and we will see a bunch of people's hands up to the elbows in his backside.

    What if you don't get along with the family?

    Going to look into this, thanks for the suggestions. A friend of mine was recommending I give CBT a try but I feel like you need to work with a therapist to get the most out of that and I don't have time in my schedule for that right now.

    What if you don't get along with the family?

    I do. I overthink a lot. I have issues with anxiety. I feel like I got this from my mother. She was always worried about us kids growing up and worrying about nonsense that was out of her control but I see it, I feel like I am going through the same patterns. I shouldn't be worrying about this...

    "Schmeat"

    I believe I am considered a millennial but I never cared enough to look into it. I think it is just another term they use to stigmatize and separate people. We are going to have differences from people 10+ years younger and 10+ years older than us these days cause of technology differences and...
