Hell, I have it...and I'm black.

I'm 'supposed' to be big.

Otherwise, what's the point of being black?!?

I should get reparations for this. Originally Posted by Randall Creed

Kind of odd to complain about black women being "overly sexualized" while at the same time mentioning fucking nazi white supremacists and helping white men to fulfill what you believe to be their alleged "bed wench" fantasies. But hey, more power to you sweetheart! Originally Posted by TheOracle

Not knocking what you do (obviously or I wouldn't be here). Just curious b/c it seems kind of contradictory given the nature of what we're doing here. Kinda like if I pulled up to a quiet residential area, rolled all my windows down, and cranked my sound system to the max waking up the whole neighborhood then complained that black ppl are viewed as loud & disruptive, while being loud and disruptive.

That comment was in reference to social stigmas outside the hobby, not within it. Know the difference.

Not sure what "Captain-Save-A-Hoe" is supposed to mean. I really don't care what you do. Hoe to your heart's content. Hoe til' your last breath. Godspeed! I was just curious about the statement.

"Nope, switch the white girl and the black girl and see if it works without the insensitivity."

"Nope, reverse the order of the women standing in front of the before and after skin sample posters."

So simple and they'd still have the same ad copy.

Seriously that's just looking for shit now. The point wasnt' that you could wash a person ethnicity away and anybody that does think that needs their head examined.

IF YOU ARE ALWAYS ON THE LOOKOUT FOR RACISM, GUESS WHAT THE FUCK YOU'RE GOING TO FIND EVEN WHEN IT'S NOT THERE?

There's a word for this kind of silliness: Apophenia - the tendency to attribute meaning to perceived connections or patterns between seemingly unrelated things.

Probably 90% of the shit in the media is based on this and it's being used by people that want to divide us as Countrymen for their own benefit.

Bailout big banks for robbing the middle class blind? Hey, there's people kneeling at football games!

3000 people shot or killed in Chicago? Hey, cops shot 18 unarmed blacks last year!!

Low skill set and you can't find a decent paying job? Hey, let's legalize 12 million illegals that are driving down the labor rates because Trump is an asshole!

That's how a few hundred thousand rich powerful people divide and conquer 310 million citizens... keep 'em distracted and infighting while they secure the gates to keep the pitchfork mobs out.

Doesn't matter what skin tone we have in this Country... we are all supposed to have the same Constitutional Rights and we are all getting a good hard fucking.

Everyday, I feel more sympathetic to Thomas Jefferson... let the mob burn the whole motherfucking thing to the ground.

Tars, feathers, lampposts, and rope are the only thing we need to fix most of the issues in this nation.

TS, who peed in your cornflakes? that's quite a rant there.

Dove apologized.. they thought their own ad was derogatory.

America is the product of white, euro-centric colonialism. Whites are mad because folks are taking back the country that they founded. *massive eye roll*

It's a social construct that is no more valid for dividing people up than being a Dallas cowboys fan vs. a Denver Broncos fan is. They are both social constructs.

You're right, the guys that wrote the constitution weren't concerned about non-land holding individuals... but then again, no where on Earth in that day in age was any different. My great, great grandfather fought at Vicksburg, participated in Shermans march to the sea... I still have his saber, epaulets, and letters during his time in the Union Army. Name another nation that spilled as much blood to end the enslavement of a people.

Do "white males" bear the blame for an institution that's existed since the days of the pharoahs? And who exactly were these "white males" buying these slaves from in Africa? fucking Martians? This whole concept of collective guilt is horseshit... are Germans born today guilty because their grandparents tried to eliminate all the Jews in Europe? Of course not.. we don't carry the sins of our fathers in our blood - what the fuck is this stone age witchcraft thinking?

Anyway, this is all smoke and mirrors, to keep people like us from tearing down the banking industry that is in the process of impoverishing us all. And all of the politicians supporting it.

These are professional grievance mongers that are making money off whining about meaningless crap. They are collaborating in dividing the citizens of the entire Country that all ought to be mad as fuck that a catastrophic illness could impoverish your entire family. That legions of kids aren't getting educated because it's easier to enslave an ignorant population than one that understands its rights. That drugs flow through the streets like fucking candy and destroy families and children's lives. That our prisons are full of non-violent offenders who are essentially condemned to rotate through prison again and again. That's the shit that ought to matter but they're fucking complaining because a black girl morphed into a white girl but not that the white girl morphed into a middle eastern girl. If we use that kind of logic isn't the ultimate message to black and white women that you're dirty compared to a Middle Eastern woman? No, because there's no play in that... there's no money, no power to be gained, no divisiveness to be created.

We 310 million folks on the rung below the banksters and politicians are all getting fucked and are too busy infighting to step back and see whats being done to us.... think about this... whether you like or don't like obamacare... Congress voted to exempt itself from the laws that apply to everyone else in this country. THEY THINK THEY ARE OUR FUCKING BETTERS! WTF?! Every last one of them ought to be put against a wall and shot for even considering it.
