    BENIGN NEGLECT

    How many of you know about the benign neglect policy? Who wrote it? When it was implemented? Why it was implemented? How has that policy played out? How does that policy affect black people now? How do we see that policy in current politics?

    WHY JUST SITTING OUT ISN'T THE BEST OPTION

    I think we all can safely say we understand how to negotiate. You wouldn't just go give a person $5,000 for a product and say you can give it to me later without signing any paperwork. Although I do know someone who did that and it didn't work out in their favor! The issue is we don't know how...

    WHY JUST SITTING OUT ISN'T THE BEST OPTION

    Now that was a well thought out statement. The only thing this doesn't account for is the replacement factor. They are bringing in immigrants and doing things for LGBTQ to get those votes which replace the younger vote!

    WHY JUST SITTING OUT ISN'T THE BEST OPTION

    Leverage the vote for tangibles is a hashtag. It sounds good but what does it mean? How do we do it? By not voting or protest voting? Or just voting for the Democrats again? Creating our own political party and getting behind it. We can't leverage the vote unless what we do harms a party and...

    HOW DID YOU MEET YOUR SPOUSE?

    Yeah my wife doesn't really care if I look real quick. She just gets mad if I state and just keep looking. Pretty much get a peek and leave it alone!

    So if they ask for your help would you be willing to help them?

    WHY JUST SITTING OUT ISN'T THE BEST OPTION

    I'm not advocating for either party. I want the same to see black people doing better. I just want us to leverage our vote in a way to force politician to do what we want and know that if they don't we will take their job!

    HOW DID YOU MEET YOUR SPOUSE?

    I love it. Now that I'm older I don't want to be out chasing tail. I just enjoy piece and relaxing. It's nice to have a girl that I like and we can accomplish and do stuff together.

    WHY JUST SITTING OUT ISN'T THE BEST OPTION

    So there are only two parties. One is going to win and one is going to lose. Period. It's binary. Either you want Democrats to win or you want them to lose. If you want them to win then we're where we are now. If you want them to lose you have two choice on how to make that happen. Again it is...

    WHY JUST SITTING OUT ISN'T THE BEST OPTION

    Hilary lost because there was a larger than normal turn out than usual of white Americans. There was a smaller turn out of black people but the grander picture was there was a smaller turn out of younger voters both white and black. Nobody likes Hilary so that was a lay up for Trump. If the...

    Computer Literacy

    There are lots of people who remain uninformed because they don't know how to use computers and/or smart phones or have a limited base of how to use them. For example may only know how to use them for Facebook, texting and calling etc. ! How big of a role do you think computer literacy plays in...

    Are you a homeowner or renter?

    That's why having a single family home is such a blessing. I see all these videos where white karens or brads walk up into peoples yard and I'm like why are you putting up with that? 1. They are trespassing. Once you tell them to leave and they still there arguing if you pepper spray them or...

    Why does everything have to be gay?

    Because they are on code. The LGBTQ make a small percent but that small percent all together can ruin a business of individual. When they move they move together. That's what we as black people need to do!

    WHY JUST SITTING OUT ISN'T THE BEST OPTION

    That's skewed because it is looking at single individuals. We all know that most of the baby boomers are married! There are still plenty of them around. Enough of them that the Democrats know to aim their methods at them!

    WHY JUST SITTING OUT ISN'T THE BEST OPTION

    Do you think very many voters over the age of 50 are going to just sit out the elections? If so then I agree with you. But I think we both know that isn't the case. And no message is sent to the Democrats by just the young voters sitting it out. They will just come up with a strategy to get...

    WHY JUST SITTING OUT ISN'T THE BEST OPTION

    You misunderstand. I'm not saying I stand with the Republicans. I don't stand with the Democrats either. The issue is we all hate Republicans so much we aren't willing to punish the Democrats. What I am saying is if the young voters sit out and the old voters show up not much of a difference...

    WHY JUST SITTING OUT ISN'T THE BEST OPTION

    No I'd rather let my vote send a message that I can punish a party that has ignored me!

    WHY JUST SITTING OUT ISN'T THE BEST OPTION

    My thought isn't just to vote for the Republicans instead going forward. My thought is to show that we as a collective have the power to decide elections each and every time. This would force them to fight for the young vote. Please understand that the Democrats aren't asking for your vote when...

    Do you over tip?

    I always tip at least 10% no matter what. You tip for service. Not for good service. Now if I get good service then the tips goes up. 20% for good service. Excellent service 30%. But even if the service is poor I tips 10%. Remember people make a living on tips in some jobs!

    THOUGHTS??? KIA/LOD

    Yeps, I made it very clear to my wife that under no circumstances are the cops ever to be called. If I'm having a heart attack and a police just happens to be driving by and she flags them down for help, should I survive the ordeal we'd get divorced! I feel that strongly about my disdain for...
