She spent all that time on her hair just to make it look like a shrub.

The only thing in your post I disagree with based on the fact that sampling can be incredibly creative and result in something more than the sum of its parts (Face to Face by Daft Punk comes to mind, it uses something like 70 samples to make a completely new song)... It's just that sampling done by most black artists (like everything else black people do) is incredibly lazy. Seriously, some top of the charts "music" is like you said literally just a classic jazz/blues/soul song with some mushmouthed dunderhead babbling about tits and ass in a monotone stupor.

DJ Premier of Gangstarr is the best producer when it comes to chopping samples, IMO. Because a lot of samples weren't actually cleared for use, producers will often not tell what they sampled. It's interesting because certain hip-hop classics took decades before people figured out what old random record was used for the beat.

Nas - Nas Is Like (Premier), Royce Da 5'9 - Boom (Premier) and Mobb Deep - Shook Ones Pt. II (Havoc) are some of my favorite examples of hearing the original and then the rap version sampling it.

It was probably posted somewhere in the thread before but there was some revelatory article written by a sociologist detailing the linguistic differences in African languages and how many of them don't have a native concept for basic societal standards like future, responsibility, fault, etc. - stuff that ancient societies understood tens of thousands of years ago, and most African societies fail to understand even today.

It's pretty fascinating. I was asking Google's AI Studio on their Gemini architecture about this kind of thing. As a thinking model, you can see what logic it's using to form the response that gives you. I noticed it was shutting down what I was saying and referring to it as mythical, saying it's racist, etc.

I confronted it on this and got it to admit that what I was saying was actually true—African languages don't have these terms—and eventually it described to me how manual restrictions are placed on it to prioritize harm reduction over accurate truths.

It was a pretty interesting conversation because I got it to prioritize truth instead of socially acceptable answers. It then acknowledged black crime and queer theory in schools and shit. Possibly just telling me what I want to hear, but it was very interesting.

Dude pissed away a fair shot. Judge Simpson is one of the most down-to-earth and level-headed judges I've ever seen on the myriad YT channels covering courtroom antics. Dude is damn near impossible to piss off (even in this one, he just smiles and laughs it off) and he's one of the few I've seen who judges and sentences fairly instead of just letting niggers off the hook. That he's black himself is an even bigger shocker. Guess it shows the older ones can still be decent, and it's the sub-50 crowd that's the biggest problem.

Did any of y'all ever watch judge Mathis back in the day? That dude was hilarious and super fair. I think technically the judge shows are all private arbitration and both people get paid regardless, but he had the best bullshit detector I'd seen on someone. He'd always let people ramble on with bullshit for a grip and then drop the hammer on them all at once.

Dude was hilarious, too. I remember one time he was reading some contract one of the parties had presented. He was holding it up while reading and was like, "it says you loaned him your sex toy?" or something inappropriate like that. The person recoiled like, "Wtf? No!" and Mathis just started cracking up before acknowledging he'd just made it up.

I think it was mostly on UPN, the black cheap network. We didn't have cable back then so I watched a lot of stuff on there. It's funny that I recognized his fairness and how sharp he was and admired it as a kid. I even rented the book he wrote about his life from the library. He used to rob people in movie theaters with his crew at gun point as a youth. It was impressive that he turned his life around.

I think it goes to show that anybody can look up to anybody and admire their character. It just kind of sucks that so few black boys and girls have many black adults to look up to like that. And unfortunately, so many of them seem to be taught that looking up to white people is bad. Must be tough when it's white people who invented everything and have been the biggest force for global good in the history of our species. Either way, it didn't stop me from having Jordan posters all over my walls.

To be fair I had some genuine African American Appreciation today. Was walking home from the shops and a local bus, on the other side of the street, randomly stopped and began honking its horn. The driver rolled down her window and waved and yelled at me to get on. Maybe she recognized me. She gave a very animated lecture about how the cold is dangerous and can creep up on you if you are out too long. She didn't even mind that I was drinking a beer. Anyway, I like to remember this side of black people along with the negative.

100% bro, this is what gets me.

The classic 13/50.

It's wrong.

For a start, 50 is way closer to 60 or more. And the 13? That's mostly males, so 7% at very best.

But look around you with a genuine unbiased, honest eye. There's a LOT of the very best, god-fearing, kindest and most upstanding citizens you'd ever want in a society - and they just happen to be black. Wouldn't take you a minute to find an example of a huge heart doing good work and being the rock we all need sometime in our lives. Just happens to be black. If we're honest, we all have our stories of that

So that 7% is actually a LOT less... probably 2 or 3% if you really push it. It's just that 2 or 3% does so much devastating damage to society, and costs us all so damn much to support while it's doing it, it blows any balance the majority of them might bring out of all proportion.

So what's the answer? Maybe that decent majority needs to stand and kick arse on the minority fcking things up for us all? I'd be A-OK with a neighbourhood full of the 'good' blacks, but fck even ONE of the 'niggaz' moving anywhere near me.

Or should the lot share blame for the fact they don't seem to stand and redeem themselves, when the decent are the majority and the minority such a curse?

The video's caption reads "elderly woman defecates on the bus and after complaints starts throwing feces."

Don't watch whilst eating lunch.

Never saw hair touching either. And started to really dislike Michelle Obama who capitalized on the hair-touching bullshit while FLOTUS. It was a black kid who touched Obama's hair btw.

They just passed a law here in PA called the crown act, which is apparently based on a campaign by an NGO (in this case, a Nigger Gimme Organization) of the same name to pass laws all over the country to prevent "hair discrimination".

End black appropriation of white hairstyles.

Where did they get the idea that white people become fascinated and approach to touch their hair?
Click to expand...

Because some kid probably did it in middle school at the latest and they never let it go, and assume that grown ass adults actually walk right up to people and touch them without permission. It's like a guy assuming that if he goes to a gym, bigger guys will shove him into a locker because some bully did it to him in 6th grade. They seem to think everyone is obsessed with their hair, even though 99% of people don't care, if anything the type of white woman who would is a progressive "anti racist" black worshipping tryhard. I and no one else I know has ever had any desire to grab some random nog's hair, or has any interest in what they do with it whatsoever.

A lot of them not only never let go of school "microaggressions" but assume that a few dickhead kids represent the entire white race. And that some young girl bothering another girl by touching her hair is comparable to a grown man getting up in a woman's personal space and touching her without permission, because grown ass white men definitely do the same to black women all the time.

I like how they suddenly don't care about women's safety in this case despite calling themselves feminists who would rather be with a bear than a man. This one totally "deserves it" because she shares the skin color of someone who wronged them in the past. Obviously the "point" he's trying to make is the last thing in the first girl's mind, she just sees there is a man grabbing at her and chasing after her when she tries to walk away, is scared and just wants him to gtfo. Second girl probably saw the camera and assumed he was making shock content so she wasn't as scared at least, but still just seemed confused more than anything.

Yeah, but then you just get cry baby naive white people saying it's so horrible that we don't have to share the same buses as animals. The grey mice just want to kill all the whites and warship their black kings for racism points like online gambling only for social media status. Then they can act all oppressed and say them black kings need to be in prison for child support. Grey mice are a pokemon that evolves into a shebbon welfare queen. Grey mice are traders who want other whites to be destroyed. We need to police our own before we can have anything nice.

I have never seen a white BBW that wasn't a one-drop in my life. Even if they live in Europe, the white BBWs are all one-drops; not real whites. Race is deeper than skin town. You can't let these traders and one-drops in if you want to have nice things.

What tickles me most about this is the fact that he was missing for months and then "suddenly reappeared" with no further details released. Almost as if wherever he went (or whoever abducted him) decided he was so fucking stupid/useless he should just be sent back home.

Isn't it a common occurrence that a lot of missing kids are divorce disputes? Like one parent took the kid when it wasn't their custody time and the other parent filed a report?

Since the family isn't together the kids are easy targets. The mom is usually on drugs (or easy to get on drugs) and not taking care of the kids properly.
