very true Viginia...there was a survey, and if you look around and see truly Black Folks with very dark complexions,
How can the other species leave from other areas? Quite simple really. There were several migrations that spread out over primarily Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Many of these populations were isolated from other populations for extended period of time and consequently evolved differently than the originating population. Later migrations interbred with the populations that had developed from previous migrations. Hominids probably did get their start in the Rift Valley part of which is in Ethiopia. Human evolution doesn't appear to be very linear. Out family tree is really more of a bush.
Why are a lot of these black women you talk about angry? They're not angry. They are hurt. Most of 'em have ******* as ******* figures. That's where it all starts. We always joke around about some "crazy b*tch" having daddy issues. Well it's true, especially in the black community. There are a lot of good sistas out there, even in the hood. If you could ever get them to the point of trusting you and get them in one-on-one deep conversation, you'll see that they are just as nice as any other woman out there. Remember, they were little girls too. They once looked up to mom and dad and believed they were special and daddy's little princess. Then daddy left, uncles who she thought had her back, ended up trying to get between her legs, etc . . . I had a friend who once sought pschyatric councel because her ******* left her and her familty, moved to another town, started another and treated the new family like they were gold. I told my friend once, "but you are strong black woman." Her response?" I'm tired of being a strong black woman."
Unfortunately you make a lot of valid points. Both of my daughters told me when they were in their 20's how lucky they were to have two parents that cared. Of course when they were in their teens I was ruining their lives and I didn't understand anything that they were experiencing. A lot of men brag about getting a woman/women pregnant. It isn't a particular difficult task to learn or to do. Raising children from birth to adulthood instilling them with the skills and values to make them productive members of society is a much more noteworthy task.

s a pity a lot more people dont take this view think like this its easy to say they do but to really think well its open for discussion the world could be a better place
Unfortunately sometimes it takes defiance and/or anger to make change happen. How would have things have been different if Rosa Parks had given up her seat?s a pity a lot more people dont take this view think like this its easy to say they do but to really think well its open for discussion the world could be a better place
Very true, in a global sense. I was meaning more in a personal sense. I definitely believe in standing up to injustice and discrimination.
I think Elizabeth Taylor said something like"There is no better deodorant than money" There is no better revenge than to be successful(that's my belief.) I seldom have people that are racist to my face, I don't tolerate it. If it is in a social setting I will distance myself from the person. If it is in a business setting I will contact the owner or manager and explain calmly and clearly the problem I perceived. The owner or manager will need to explain to how I may have misunderstood the employee's intentions or outline what actions are going to be taken to prevent a re-occurrence. I am fortunate to have wonderful circle of friends and acquaintances and I think I lead a very happy life. I just don't have a place for hurtful people in my life
Hard lives aren't unique to any race. Native Americans probably had the worst deal in this country until they started discovering casino gambling
I don't believe that you can get teenagers through those fun years and remain entirely sane
