Black people are not looking to the mainstream culture for acceptance about the language they use in thier homes/privates spaces...

Not exactly private when it is on TV and in music lyrics though, right?

What a shame; a whole bunch of people simply want to take baby steps to make the world a brighter place, while others refuse to clean it up a bit.

Please pass the spray paint. What's one little can of artwork on the freeway overpass?

Well, since most black people don't own the companies that in the end choose the music they feel is "in" and worth promoting...... then isn't THAT the pot calling the kettle black (no pun intended)

Besides, CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF,:omg: the majority of Black people are not rappers

Very true, I will admend my statement to say:

"Life gives you a thick skin, the internet helps you develop a callous."

By the way, I hate "African American" too. Most of the black people I know have never even been to Africa, let alone are they from there. They're no more "African Americans" than I'm a "Greek American."

I hate taking a subject off road, but to Wheetsin (whose pm box is full) - Your picture looks very familiar to me, and you're greek... Are you by any chance from the Northern VA area? Sorry to intrude if not! I'm just too curious to ignore it any more. :)

If we didn't make tasteless and crude music record labels wouldn't sell it. If record labels didn't sell it we wouldn't make it. It's a neverending cycle. I refuse to buy or listen to the crap that is being promoted. Thank heavens for Common, Kanye, Mos Def and Talib Kweli.

Hi. Just popped in and read the topic and the last few posts. IMO:

1. I'm white and I never say nigger, out of respect.

2. I think black people who say nigger are missing a great opportunity to command respect.

3. Any woman who puts up with being called a Ho or a Bitch has missed the same opportunity.

I find the word abhorrant. However, I also think that we give words WWWWAAAAAAAAYYYYY to much power in our society. Sticks and stones was never truer.

There are ignorant white people that use the government as their lifeline and break the law too. I think this exist in all races. I certainly don't want to pay taxes to fund their lives. Not when i busted my a.. in college and received my degrees. My money is my money and i would like it to go to people who really deserve it... veterans, elderly, mentally ill etc...

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
