Like the story of the God coming from Sirius to the
Dogon was based on the fact the Black race itself came from there? Sirius is called the Dog Star! (Dogon), MY
DOGG! Coincidence?
And they were originally very tall, like the Watusi?

I have a strong fear of being around black people I even went as far as to apply to a university with a low percantage of blacks. I think the reason I feel uncomfortable is because, we don't share anything in common and I believe they will judge me. I always feel intense pressure to avoid interaction with them. I mean I don't hate black people or anything if that was the case I would hate myselef and my family. And I love all of the above I can't find an explanation for it I have felt this way since I was a child I, I would try to fit in with them when I was younger but I never felt truly accepted and I felt uncomfortable. I'm not trying to make this some boo hoo story but I can't figure out why I have these urgers to avoid them.

Ever since I was little I was told not to marry anyone outside my race. i am black btw. But I never understood that. Now I'm finding myself attracted to a lot of different races white,latino,hispanic (but not particularly black). i feel like I'm letting down my family and a part of my culture, but I wanna do what's right for me. What should i do?

I am a woman myself, and I am noticing in many of my friends' relationships that they get paid more than their men, and some of the men even stay home to take care of the kids. Is this the trend now? If so how do you feel about it and why?

Isn't this just a way of putting other people down? Is this not a little childish? I have seen some people become a little depressed because of this kind of attitude. Are these people sadistic?

Do people who believe in a vindictive and wrathful God ever think that perhaps they are instilling the same qualites in their children? I personally can remember some kids from My school days who were raised in "fundemantalist" families, and they seemed to be more argumentative and agressive than most of the rest of us!

Rap/ hip hop may seem like a new music phenomenon but it is not. It started in West Africa centuries ago, in the regions of Togo and Benin. In these regions, there is a tribe of people where the men look very young and EVERY LAST WOMAN looks really old (like over 80 yrs old, and to show wrinkles on dark skin is very hard to do) But anyway, the women look so old because at the age of 13 they are sold into concubinage, start having kids, and build the homes, gather the food, and raise the children. The man does absolutely NOTHING. The men lie around and eat, talk, and play music. And the women do all the work.
In my opinion, this is a tradition that has been carried over from Togo and Benin.

During the Transatlantic slave trade, many of the people who were sold came from Togo and Benin. These people populated the U.S. Slaves also came from Nigeria. But they were sent to Brazil, Europe, and other places. Nigerians typically do not like Rap, and the descendants of Nigerians in other countries ALL OVER THE WORLD do not like the message or beat of rap or hip hop music. Neither do other people from other African nations.
But many people of Togolese and Benin descent do. That is why Rap is only popular in the U.S.A. It is not just a modern day cultural phenomenon. It is a passed on, generational thing.
If you don't believe me ask any person from Nigeria, Morocco, Egypt, Ethiopia, or Somalia (or anywhere else) and see if they dislike rap. 9 times out of 9, they will say that they hate it.

They usually prefer Ethiopian influenced music such as Old Gospel music (it sounds like "Man of Constant Sorrow" from O Brother Where art thou.), blues, jazz, or something with wind , percussions and string instruments (like harps, violins, or pianos). That is the kind of music most Africans who are not from Togo and Benin like.

Rap and hip hop have spread from Togo and Benin, much like Voodoo and Hoodoo.

(reposting b/c I didn't get enough opinions)

I know that a lot of white ppl think that blacks are angry and that we yell a lot and overreact to things. I can understand to a degree why this may be true.

But do you think it's true that that's why white ppl(especially women) have more nervous breakdowns and are more prone to crying and being upset than black people.

We handle our anger by saying what we want right then and there and sometimes yelling.....White people would rather keep the peace and keep things down to avoid a scene but keep things bottled up and eventually break down.

Does anyone else think this is true?

Of course not all ppl are the same(Im speaking of majority of the race)

Why do young girls in particular, invest in Hip Hop?

Its funny , I wonder if they ever pay attention to the lyrics or where these guys come from. What these guys look like.

Why would you, if you had respect for yourself, even dance to this music?

When you think deeply about it, they talk about how they want to do degrading things to them. And women continue to support it, for some god awful reason.

I guess most women just do not think deeply enough about this music, cause if they did, they wouldnt dance to it, or support it.
