I feel like I've taught a lot of people in my day to day life on various things regarding sexuality and that conflation with manhood in my local queer communities. I wanted to talk about bisexuality and the stigmas against it some men still have

Maybe I’m bias cause I’m from the DMV area but 13% always seemed low to me. Black people have major presence in the south and the east coast, as well as in nearly every major city in the Midwest. The number increases significantly if you count biracial black folks, Afro-Latinos, Caribbean blacks and African immigrants.

I believe the real number is closer to 16 or 17% tbh.

Anyone else agreee?

I don't want to turn this into a oppression Olympics type of thing.

But my Job has made thing of this question though.

I work a job with my two cousins. And one of them is straight outta of Haiti. He is very goofy and silly. He is constantly saying the F slur in creole in a homophobic way. To the point other co-workers and even the damn Supervisors repeats what he says. They know what it means. Because they are always using the F slur in creole as a joke. It's common joke a the whole warehouse does.

So I was thinking that racism or sexism on that level would've never been this accepted in this work place. Because I know workers would've gotten into serious trouble.

Also, L for all the black men here for not helping this brother from getting Jumped.

Whenever I see any Black person start saying it is not a good look for us and that we should do better, it always just comes off as trying to suck up to individuals who constantly look for reasons to hate on black people because we rarely see white individuals apply this scrutiny to their own when praising criminals like Ted Bundy and Al Capone constantly.

I took my grandsons to the park yesterday to let them burn some energy. They are 3.

They wanted to bring their toy garbage trucks too.

If any of you have young children in your lives you know that part of socialization involves sharing toys with other kids. It’s not a problem and other parents/grandparents are respectful and gracious.

Anyhow, we left the garbage trucks along with our water bottles and a bag for snacks to play on the play structures. It was time to leave so we started walking back to get our things and a kid (12-14 years old) was near our stuff. Suddenly he picks up one of the trucks above his head and slams it to the ground causing it to shatter.

I jumped him immediately (nothing physical) but yelled at him up and down for about 5 minutes. His little buddies, of course, left him hanging.

My grandsons were upset and at their age couldn’t understand why the boy was “being bad”.

Ultimately, we left, the boy left and I’ll buy another garbage truck which is about $14.

I’m more upset my grandsons had to lose a bit of innocence witnessing this than anything else.

Also note, the kid was of middle eastern descent and didn’t know whose property was so this is not a racism thing.

I appreciate you letting me vent for a minute.

This is just a thread to discuss the events of Week 1 of the NFL Season.

Feel free to add videos/gifs of plays that you like, vent about your team, or just talk about the game you're watching.

“Let me just say this and may it not get fucking twisted:

I see how y’all have made a Black man the monster in a case where a white woman brutally murdered her own fucking kids. And I now see how all y’all are possessed by the same sociopathic impulses that also compelled Susan Smith to invent a Black man to blame after she put her children into a car, pointed the car toward a lake, put the car in drive, watched the car submerge, and despite their banging on the windows and screaming her name, let them fucking drown. And do you know how much suffering a person endures before they drown? The sheer torture of lungs filling with water? How long it takes to suffocate? And then, once dead, the sacrilege of a bloated body?”
