Society & Culture - 23 August 2007

As a black man, I notice white men in their 40 and up speaks to me like I'm an idiot. When I open my mouth, I let him have it. "Your barking up the wrong tree, buddy. I know more than you think I do". After an nice knowledgable conversation, I noticed that white people are extremely intrested in the mental process of urban african americans. I enjoyed my white counterparts, we are so much alike, its sickening. Thank you Emancipation Proclamation, Dr. King, The Bible, and others that let me know I am not what people make me out to be.

What your story?

Real Talk, no racism here. If you are not into the Bible or GOD, express your view but do not attack.

It seems like the white kids today are all trying to act ghetto, black and fabulous. They listen to music about gangs, drugs, and sex that has nothing to do with the pristine life they enjoy. On the other hand, wealthy, suburban black kids don't act like that. They have good grades in school, are helpful in the community, and don't try to emulate the Ghetto lifestyle. Why is there this cultural divide in suburban teenage America?

My husband and I was talking about the trinity last night and man did we get deep. He said Jesus is God, and he believes there is three in the trinity. When he says Jesus is God that makes me want to think that God spilits off into two others making the trinity. Then we got to talking about Genesis 1:1 about God creating the heavens and the earth, but if you read John 1:3 Jesus created the heavens and the earth, plus Colossians 1:15-19 says it to. So who created the heavens and the earth? How is Jesus God? I want scriptures but please explain all I have stated in this question.

The typical Christian response on YA, to the prayer in school issue is that the constitution guarantees freedom of religion, not freedom from religion. They use this argument to say prayer should be allowed in school.

Would you tolerate that prayer to be a Jewish or Muslim prayer?

After watching Larry King Live on CNN interviewing Billy Graham and learning about his active role as a CIA agent in many Countries, spying for the Richard Nixon's administration & other Presidents, answered my debateable questions in Bible College during the early seventys. I knew that Billy Graham was a misrepresentation of the Gospel of Imanuel Yahoshua (Jesus Christ). Many blinded Christian Ministers and church goers argued with me for talking evil of a godly man like Billy Graham. Such people did not have access to media infomation of how Billy Graham campaign religiously for Richard Nixon (that crook) to be come President of the Nation God Bless America. Billy Graham went to several Nations telling Christian Ministers that Dr.Martin Luther King Jr. is a communist & a false Minister of the Gospel. A lot believed Billy Graham's propoganda as the gospel of Jesus Christ. Oral Roberts, Benny Hinn, Jim Jones do you know of others who may have spied for the US & what would Jesus say?

Given that every generation that has ever lived has had some myth that they lived in the end times, why do we think we are any different? See this link for a "brief history of the apocalypse">

The first entry is the coolest - an Assyrian tablet from 2800 BC talks about those days as being "these latter days" and how everything is going downhill and crime is rampant...... Heck... I bet there were "wars and rumors of wars" too!

The first time it took me 23 years to find my best friend from school. Once she explained what caused the separation, we picked up where we left off. She's the initial reason I moved to Wisconsin.

Just recently I located an address for another woman, about 20 years younger than me. I used to work with her and we were very close. I found her in Maryland and she apparently got my letter and left her number on my cell phone last night.

I've found a few other people for cousins, too. It's fun reconnecting. How about you?

I seen some people who do not know a thing about Islam, try and pretend that they used to be Muslims, so that anyone trying to learn about Islam will question how come they left it. And eventually, they'll try to get this not interested anymore. You make nick names like ex muslim, the only thing you are are ex humans. I can tell you guys do not know a thing about Islam when you type on this forum, so I know that really you were never affiliated with our religion. So get a clue, and people don't listen to their non-sense and hate speech. They used Al Qaeda to throw down communism, now they're using the "Afghani freedom fights (back then) ", as "enemies" now. Islam will prevail, so you fake people, don't pretend that you are or were something that you're not. Just because you are monkeys and you hate us, that's your problem. By the way, I am not cursing those people who aren't Muslim, or who are Muslim. I'm cursing those who pretend to used to be, who are spreading their hatred around.

It is my Grandmother's favorite, she is 91. It mostly has photographs from the past from different decades and comments from readers reminiscing. It also has articles about a variety of things from the past, things people grew up with, how life was lived in a different time. My Grandma will point something out in the magazine and elaborate for me. This magazine gives her much joy, it is her favorite and she takes many magazines. I like it a lot myself and often take an old issue home with me from my Grandma's house.

It's true. If you are black and you hear a white person complaining about Canadians, then they are probably talking about black people. They do it all of the time in this factory where I work. It's about half and half. Whites talk and complain openly about blacks by referring to them as Canadians instead of using the N word. So if you hear people complaining about Canadians, and you are not near a hockey rink, then they are probably not talking about the people just north of our border.
