    Why are a lot of concerts for rap prominently white crowds?

    Damn, I had no idea. So in a way, the rock genre and other genres were built off the back of the black creative mind. That is nuts! I really should be more aware of this though cause, when you think back in music history, when it evolved from classical music and branched out, was when different...

    How many of y’all only use credit cards?

    When I was younger, I ended up with some debt because I lost my job. My credit score got fisted because of it so since then, I haven't used credit. I got my score up by having a monthly cable bill, car bill, and phone bill. It took a lot longer than had I just went back to cards but I feel more...

    What kind of phone do you have?

    There are so many out there these days when it comes to smartphones. I have been back and forth over the years but I was someone who never wanted anything outside of Samsung for a while. I always got the Galaxy and got a new one every few years. I recently switched and went with an import brand...

    Why are a lot of concerts for rap prominently white crowds?

    Ask stupid questions, LOL. That makes sense. I mean I just wouldn't have assumed this many white people are this invested as fans in the genre. I guess that switch flipped in the '90s and continued from there.

    Income tax was only meant for the rich, so what happened?

    Yeah, the inflation doesn't match either. Like the only way, this makes any logical sense is they are legit robbing the poor to feed the rich. Like if you look at a lot of the legislation passed from the '70s up until now, it is heavily rooted in fascism of all things. It is almost as if the...

    Why are a lot of concerts for rap prominently white crowds?

    I only became aware of this because someone made a meme about Jay Z concerts a while back and then I started looking and low and behold, so many of them are just a sea of white lol Like I am all for people enjoying the music no matter what color you are but it seems strange. I don't really go to...

    Do you think we'll be made to wear masks forever?

    In Japan, anytime you are sick and have to go into a public space, you wear a mask out of common courtesy. I see nothing wrong with this. This is actually the right way to go about using masks. I know people can be sick for a few days before they show symptoms so washing your hands is important...

    Classic or modern gaming?

    In terms of what you prefer in the realm of gaming, are you more of a person who enjoys classics from the '90s and early '00s or do you enjoy modern gaming? I feel like there are pros and cons for each one but I am starting to have a preference for classics these days. I mean I grew up with me...

    Anyone here invest in Crypto? How long have you invested for?

    I have a few investments in crypto. I kind of just bought it and sat on it. One of them went bust and I lost everything but I only invested like $50 so it wasn't that big of a deal. I am still learning this though so I am not sure if I will invest more or get more into stocks. Those seem to be...

    What brands do you like in terms of clothing?

    This is true but a lot of stores do this. They pretend you are getting a better deal than you actually are. Like I know the stuff I like goes on sale often so I just shop around sales and promotions. It is shady but once you learn how a store does this, you can work around it.

    How do you feel about online dating through apps?

    I feel like what was once useful is more a less just about booty calls and one-night-stands these days. I don't know anyone who uses dating apps around my age for serious relationships. They use them just when they feel like getting some and it is convenient I guess. This seems to be more the...

    What's your game console?

    I mostly play on PC these days. I feel like you get more value for your money. I do have a Switch but I didn't bother with either of the other two consoles this time around. I hardly touched my PS4 in the years leading up to the PS5 release so I felt like it wasn't worth the money for me.

    Best decade for hip-hop and r&b?

    I wanted to make a poll on here for this to see what people think. Because I feel the vibe switches every 5 years with music, I wanted to have both the standard decades and the break points. For me, I feel the best era/decade for hip-hop and r&b was 1995 to 2005. I feel like things have gone...

    White liberals being the voice of black people needs to stop!

    I have heard some of his stuff and he was right, just a shame not more people listened. Like at least with some folks, you can see them for what they are but these people.. They are just wolves in sheep's clothing. Whether they are being manipulated or not, they refuse to see the damages they...

    Has the pandemic changed how you view people?

    They just want to keep us in boxes and fighting each other. Social media is so damn toxic it is depressing at this point.

    Income tax was only meant for the rich, so what happened?

    When the income tax was first proposed, it was meant to be for the top % of earners in the US. They were going to "tax the rich" and told everyone else not to worry. Only the super-wealthy would be giving 2 or 3% of their earnings. Then we had a war. Suddenly, they had to tax more to supply it...

    White liberals being the voice of black people needs to stop!

    When all the riots and stuff were going down, I remember seeing a video of two black women yelling at two or three white women wearing all black. They were spraypainting BLM on the side of a Starbucks and they were yelling at them to stop because they don't want them to be blamed for it. The one...

    How do you feel about the Taliban in Afghanistan rounding up all their coons and how the blowback impacts Black Americans?

    They do this with other nations all the time instead of helping those within the country itself. Like, look at the state of black communities across America. Now you want to bring in immigrants who will have no working or language skills? Where do you think they are going to live? They are going...

    Do you expect your woman to submit to mediocrity?

    They set the trap and blamed everyone for falling for it. At one point in the US, black folks had better marital stats (successful marriages) than whites as well. WTF happened there? The government is what happened. I don't know where they get at with this crap either. Like yeah sure you are...

    What brands do you like in terms of clothing?

    Old Navy has some good shirts. Even dress pants. I have gotten a number of things from them in the last few years and I am impressed. They have cheaper stuff but the quality is impressive.
