OT: Not for nothting - Things that make ya go hmmmm...

Double_Ayy there are many and varied reasons why people don't have pictures of themselves in their avie.  I don't ever plan on having one and that is my choice.  If anyone wants to know if I am a real person just send a friend request and they can see that I am a real person. I have personal reasons why I have not posted my picture.....(No FBI or CIA ****z but I have my reasons :)  So don't imply if a person does not have a picture they are a troll because that is not always the case.

unless you are growing a whooooole lot of "talent" in your backyard -I had to read this about five times before I got it..... at least I think I got it :)

Troll, Troll, Troll...  (sike!)

I know exactly what you mean.  You know you and me go way back like Cadillac seats and spinal columns since we talked about this first time last year.  I just wish more people on here took your approach rather than saying silly **** as to why they don't have a pic up.  Consistent in their postings or not.

Double_Ayy!: "1"           Shadow Spook:   "none"  

As for:

Don't worry you got it. 

Kim I just wanted to say your new pic is beautiful!!

  Thanks so much Monique!

Hey Ms. Kim:
Good to see you back. Thank-you and a few others for taking the STUPIDITY out of this Post and the "Curious" post. I'm writing this on Your post because You seem more balanced than the Original Poster and a few others who I percieve as having another agenda. So forgive Me, this is NOT for You.

Clearly I give MY Opinion when I post, I would hate to think that anyone in here would allow anyone else IN HERE to be their "spokesperson." I submit that NO ONE on this or any other Forum speaks for Anyone or Any Group...FOR sure NO ONE speaks for Me, because if I tried to Live My Life behind some of the BS that I have read, I would be a Failure (Personally, Financially and Professionally). Clearly, believe it or not, the white woman who began the Post "Curious" responded to many posts and The CURIOUS thing is that she did NOT view Me as a RACIST (A FEW Black folks made that judgment). The white woman CLEARLY called others, RACIST, NOT ME! Maybe Blacks have a Different meaning of RACIST than White Folks, and there in lies the problem!

There is a BIG difference in NOT liking someone and hating someone, ie, having in My mind when I meet someone: The glass is half empty with you, not half full...You have to prove yourself to Me, your intentions of good will by your actions. Also, lets be real, 90%+ of Black people in this Country DO NOT socialize with white people. If we go to the movies, club or restaurant...we may be in the same venue, but they are not our companions (AND vice versa!)

Someone made a post about being friends with white folks and then going home, away from white folks and getting comfortable...letting go of their "pink" attitude. I don't put on a Minstral Show for ANYONE...White or Black. See, with ME, What You see IS what You get...I AM who I AM, no hidden agenda. Imma tell Black folks what I think and Imma tell white folks what I think. I am Intellectually Honest with everyone, NO Fake here. You would be surprised how many Black folks hate that, many Black folks actually buy into that "change" when I get around My people stuff...that stuff is UNHEALTHY! I guess that's why I don't have a lot of Stress motivated illnesses. I am in My  40's and I have lived a lot and accomplished a lot. 90% of the people I work with are white, and the majority of those are men. I have been hired, Promoted- by white folks, asked to speak at white people's churches, clubs, seminars, been in their homes, babysat their kids...and I have NEVER come home and said WHEEW, I can relax now! Frankly, Black people don't understand that you can NOT LIKE someone but STILL be FAIR, Honest and treat them with kindness, empathy and understanding and practice Diversity. Some Black folks need to Expand their views of the world and life.

I still find it interesting that the White woman who made the original post found the other people who were giving her "nice" words, are RACIST...maybe she was perceptive enough to see that those persons are FAKE. Maybe WE as a People would get somewhere in Race Relations if WE stopped trying to get White folks to LIKE US; and the BEST way to do that is to UNDERSTAND what it is YOU want and need! It's about RELATIONSHIPS/ALLIANCES. So many Blacks want whites to LIKE us instead of RESPECT us or become our Ally. Some Black folks try to approach Race relations with the question, "Why don't White People LIKE me? That's NOT the question(s) to ask, it  should be " What do we have in common, and What do I want to accomplish, how do I accompli**** can this relationship be a Win/Win?" This attitude of LIKE me cause I LIKE YOU, to Me shows an EMOTIONAL Immaturity on the part of so many Black people and guess what, it does NOT work. FINALLY, WE (Black People and White People) REALLY need to look up RACISM/RACIST, Discrimination, Prejudice, Like, Dislike, Hate, Can't Stand. When we speak/write, one should not just interject  their words for someone else's words UNLESS they have the same meaning. People who CHANGE someone else's words to try and fit what they are saying ARE INTELLECTUALLY Dishonest. It's a shame that this Minstrel Show keeps on Going by a "Black Male", WHO in the world would want him as their "Spokesperson". I guarantee that more than 100 times as many people lurk on this Forum than Post and I bet most of those agree with Me in whole or in part, and REJECT that syrupy DRIVEL that most  wrote to that white woman.

Quoting a mentor of mine (Pat Harris): "I was NEVER a White Man's ***** I SURE won't be a Black Man's *****!"  ValueMe: "I'm here to stay and I will continue to POST My TRUE feelings. If anyone doesn't like to be challenged in their opinions or thoughts then maybe they should find another Forum because they are Promulgating IGNORANCE!

What You see IS what You get...I AM who I AM, no hidden agenda. Imma tell Black folks what I think and Imma tell white folks what I think. I am Intellectually Honest with everyone, NO Fake here.

...She said as she failed to put up a pic of herself...   If it looks fake then it is fake.

Hmmm - Ionknow bruh, you're taking a minor point and making a distraction out of it. 

Technically speaking - anyone who does have a pic up could be fronting and fake too. 

Say What has a pic of a horse as the avie - and that's a well known troll account.  There are some folk who have celeb pics as their avie - and they KNOW they don't look like that!  (no one in particular, don't trip)

But if you look at the consistency and try to deal with the 1) validity and 2) tone of her statements, and arguments - she the most consistent FAKE mofo I know, and I know plenty mofos on here with pics that are flip floppy as hell. 

Yes, it was all part of my evil plan, Mack.  Don't spoil it.

Seriously though, you're absolutely right.  I was going to just joke the entire response by ValueMe off and let it be, because quite honestly I don't think she and I can actually solve any of our differences by verbally sparring back and forth.  She'll shoot back with some **** and I'll hit back with some **** and all we did was kill a few hours at work all day.  Nothing solved.  

But she had to go and call me a minstrel show.   Arrrrrgghhh.  That's Mr. Minstrel-Show to you, Damnit!   

 

 

DA :
YOU replying to a NON-Pic avie...why are YOU breaking Your Rule... Oh, just cause You put up a "laughy" does not mean that what you said is funny. Stick to the "Minstrel Show" you put on daily, there in lay your TRUE talent.

Value Meal, Value Meal, Value Meal...

Thank you for recognizing my talents.  I figured that you'd get up the nerve sooner or later to try and defend yourself.  Way to go there, ***** counselor - Just like a ***** to be on CP time as usual.

Good to see you back. Thank-you and a few others for taking the STUPIDITY out of this Post and the "Curious" post.

Judging by how you are starting out here, I can tell that you're one of those sensitive souls that needs your ego stroked from time to time.  It's okay.  Go lick your wounds or go have them licked.  In any case, just go!
 
I'm writing this on Your post because You seem more balanced than the Original Poster and a few others who I percieve as having another agenda. So forgive Me, this is NOT for You.

Noooooooo! 

You wrote this on someone else's post because as you put it I'm unbalanced and you're not quite sure whether or not you'd be verbally sparring against one of me or 5, with my unbalanced ass.  It's okay.  I understand.  I can put aside the minstrel show, as you put it, for now but you can't seem to put aside your ignorance for a second.

Clearly I give MY Opinion when I post, I would hate to think that anyone in here would allow anyone else IN HERE to be their "spokesperson."

(In here, for, on here...)  I know I'm splitting hairs here but for someone who pretends to have so much education, I would expect better from you but given the caliber of your responses I can see that my expectations in you would go unfounded.  How sad.
 
I submit that NO ONE on this or any other Forum speaks for Anyone or Any Group...FOR sure NO ONE speaks for Me, because if I tried to Live My Life behind some of the BS that I have read, I would be a Failure (Personally, Financially and Professionally).
 
Well the jury is still out on whether or not you are a success so don't go celebrating just yet.

Clearly, believe it or not, the white woman who began the Post "Curious" responded to many posts and The CURIOUS thing is that she did NOT view Me as a RACIST (A FEW Black folks made that judgment).
 
No you made that quite clear in your simple minded tirades.  The only point that I was trying to make is that we who don't necessarily feel the same way as you would inadvertently get lumped into that mindset.

The white woman CLEARLY called others, RACIST, NOT ME! Maybe Blacks have a Different meaning of RACIST than White Folks, and there in lies the problem!

Perhaps they do...

There is a BIG difference in NOT liking someone and hating someone, ie, having in My mind when I meet someone: The glass is half empty with you, not half full...You have to prove yourself to Me, your intentions of good will by your actions. Also, lets be real, 90%+ of Black people in this Country DO NOT socialize with white people. If we go to the movies, club or restaurant...we may be in the same venue, but they are not our companions (AND vice versa!)

I got to hand it to you and your "pull it out of your ass" statistics.  You're probably right that we don't. 

And?

Someone made a post about being friends with white folks and then going home, away from white folks and getting comfortable...letting go of their "pink" attitude. I don't put on a Minstral Show for ANYONE...White or Black. See, with ME, What You see IS what You get...I AM who I AM, no hidden agenda.

Ok...  You're jumping all over the place here counselor.  Find a cogent argument and stick with it will you?

I still find it interesting that the White woman who made the original post found the other people who were giving her "nice" words, are RACIST...maybe she was perceptive enough to see that those persons are FAKE. Maybe WE as a People would get somewhere in Race Relations if WE stopped trying to get White folks to LIKE US; and the BEST way to do that is to UNDERSTAND what it is YOU want and need!

I would hope that no one would want me as their spokesperson as I am sure I do not want you as mine.  Now go hop your cheap ass back up on the Dollar Menu or win a few arguments.  I just bagged this one. 

I guarantee that more than 100 times as many people lurk on this Forum than Post and I bet most of those agree with Me in whole or in part, and REJECT that syrupy DRIVEL that most  wrote to that white woman.

Quoting a mentor of mine (Pat Harris): "I was NEVER a White Man's ***** I SURE won't be a Black Man's *****!"  ValueMe: "I'm here to stay and I will continue to POST My TRUE feelings.

But the point is by your actions you still appear and act like a ***** - late to the argument and want to 100% credit for protesting the hardest; quick to point out what's wrong and never seem to have a sensible solution to what can be done make things right - ya know...  typical ***** ****
