If more people opt in to believing that a woman is just as capable of running the country and policing the world as a man can, then you will. Hillary Clinton’s election days were numbered too. As soon as she accepted her nomination, her gender unfortunately killed any chances she had.

Lol! I’ve always wondered about that and it crossed my mind, but you summed it up where it’s believable and you actually have a point.

Those black eggs would expire and turn into rotten eggs Lol. For real though, I don’t think eggs from a black woman are wanted.
It’s definitely fear. Your frat brother Roland Martin has a book out about it. Whenever you have black success, there’s always going to be white backlash due to their fear. It’s always been that way. What are whites, about 15% of the world’s population? That’s a wild guess, so it could be more, but I doubt much more. If there was black supremacy, and we were only a low percentage number of the world’s population, you’d fight to keep that privilege too. It’s all about their survival.

Black women’s eggs would go unwanted because their eggs won’t produce white babies. White genes are recessive, while black genes and other people of color genes are dominant, so the more they intermarry with people of color, the faster their race disappears. One reason Donald Trump said they’re destroying the blood of our nation. That blood is the white race.

Eliminating one race of people doesn’t end division or racism. In some countries you have only one race of people, but they’re still not getting along with each other because of the different ethnic groups.

I graduated from an HBCU. I woke up and went to bed seeing black people. But I saw racism being practice towards each other quite often. Some of it was directed to me. I understand that’s due to cultural conditioning, but what I’m trying to convey is as long as this earth is comprised of humans, there’s always going to be a me against you, you against me, them against us, and us against them mindset.

We’re the only living species on earth where there’s only one human species. You’d think we’d have an understanding of that by now.

I know about Roland’s book. I don’t know what the world population ratio on race is though, I guess I can look it up. You’re preaching facts though, Zach.

Lol! What kind of racism was directed at you? At a black college? For real? Attending a black college is an opportunity I wish I had taken advantage of. I’ve always wondered what that experience would be like, especially pledging and Greek life at an HBCU.

They would make comments to me like “You’ve got that good hair and light skin” (their words) and then automatically make wrong assumptions about me because of that. Well, what’s “good hair”? That borders on self-hate to the person or people making the comment, IMO. It’s cultural conditioning. That’s what it is. I’m sure you’ve seen Spike Lee’s “School Daze”. Man, that movie was about HBCU life, and Spike Lee was trying to point out that racism at an HBCU does exist. He also went to an HBCU.

Greek life at an HBCU is the best thing since sliced bread. It was great!

You’re going to shoot me then, PB. I’m guilty, but I guess my mental image of you was right though. When I was reading posts from the past on here that were posted before I joined, when I read those one posts from that lunch meetup you had with those GC members (I hollered at those posts), when they made the “foine” comment and wanted to take pictures of you and post it, I connected the dots by adding those comments to your username, and formulated the mental image of you being one of those high yella, pretty looking dudes with good hair Lol. Greekchat is theater of the mind. We all have a mental picture of what we think folks look like on here. Count me as guilty of having the same assumption you got from folks in college.

Facts on your post though. I saw school daze and Spike Lee broke it down. I see what you mean now. Have you seen Chris Rock’s documentary Good Hair?

I just can't spend too much time on the computer or social media. It's too much.

And above all else, they lost because they lied. “They seemed to think that Americans wouldn’t mind that they had pretended Joe Biden was ‘sharp as a tack,’ that they actually orchestrated a behind-the-scenes switcheroo, that the party that portrayed itself as the nation’s answer to fascism nominated its standard-bearer without consulting a single voter.”
Last night, the truth caught up with them
More than few Trump supporters I know mentioned the "switch without consultation" as their main reason they would never support Kamala no matter what Trump had done, allegedly might do, and/or was accused of doing. So my attempts at bringing them to the truth of Trump were for naught.

I will be watching to see how these voters negotiate their lives over the next four years, and whether they begin to have voters remorse.

Pardon the double post:

Due to the recent election, its result, its aftermath, and the very busy holiday seasons upcoming, slow and quiet time with joyous efforts and loved ones is the better idea over blogposts and mass media right now.

Just know, even though we don’t really talk much on here, that I appreciate your posts.

Holding out hope!
Thank you, winter. I appreciate you and yours, too. Stay safe.

I’m too depressed to do much of anything? I just go to work, spend time with my family, and go to bed. Honestly? I don’t believe there’s anything humane about human beings at this point. I’m just extremely, extremely irritated with humanity right now, and ONLY want to be around my family.

And I’m just going to continue to support our awesome governor and his leadership over our awesome state.

I’ve got this entire house smelling REAL good. Damn, I can cook, if I do say so myself. “One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well”

@ Phroze, yeah, I saw some of Chris Rock’s documentary. I didn’t see it all though.
