I could be wrong, but I highly suspect MandingoII is a white man pretending to be black.

Show me a happy American. The only Americans that are happy are the wealthy who have the Republicans and some Democrats in their pockets and will make sure they won't pay higher taxes. Unemployment is at 9.2% in the U.S. It's higher among certain demographics. Who's happy about that?

MandingoII, why exactly are you here? You seem to harbor a lot of negativity. That's very sad. Here's the deal: the United States is not the greatest country in the world. That's an uneducated opinion. The Republican Party is working to get rid of Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security, things the elderly and the poor rely on. Unions are being destroyed and collective bargaining rights are being taken away by Republican governors. Pell and Tap grants are being eliminated. Education at various colleges and universities are becoming more and more expensive. Food prices are rising. Gentrification is pushing certain people out of their homes, making way for people with lots of money. The Supreme Court has ruled that corporations are humans and can donate whatever amount of money to politicians who will do their bidding. Water is becoming polluted with chemicals and oil like the river in Montana that's now filled with oil thanks to Exxon. Watch a film called Gasland on Youtube and you'll see what I'm talking about. Middle class, working class, and poor people are being taxed to the brink while the wealthy that make 1-2% of the U.S. population gets tax breaks and subsidies, which allows them to not pay their fair share. The unemployment rate has now risen to 9.2%, but the real rate is much higher than that, especially among certain groups.

Why is this happening? The corporations, Wall Street, and the wealthry want it all. They feel because they have lots of money, they can dictate what kind of country the United States should be. These are facts. If it offends you, that's your problem for not seeing the conditions many, many U.S. citizens are experiencing.

Now, as for your pictures, are you saying you're actually a white person in disguise?

Setting aside the personal insults that are inflammatory, counterproductive, and offensive, cap28 is right about the the current situation in the U.S. It's going to get worse and worse. But I have to ask, why does Mandingo call the U.S. "Amerikkka" if he is praising it?

I want to know why a childish, self-hating person like kony is here on this forum.

It's sad, man. Black people are killing each other everywhere: United States, Britain, Nigeria, Jamaica, Brazil, South Africa. It's crazy. I don't know what's wrong with some black folks.

I've always wondered why some view white women as the only standard of female beauty. I know about the oppression and what came with it, but I don't see how white women can be the only standard of female beauty to some. I don't find them attractive at all. One of the reasons I'm glad I'm a black man is because of black women. I love you sisters.

Oh well such is life. As someone said it's black people that make this issue
such a big deal. Slavery had a lot to do with our self esteem as western blacks
but now a days with soo many dark skinned woman having self esteem and holding
respectable positions in our societies and around the world it really makes one wonder
why would someone be ashamed of such a lovely, pure chocolate complexion?

just because some "fine" or fugly light skinned dude or woman says they don't like dark skinned
people why should I crumble? Why would I want to trade in my complexion with theirs that
has not only been watered down but a constant reminder here in the west of what happened
to our fore mothers and their slave owners? This is not to make light people feel bad but
I, if anything, wish I were darker![b] Any [black] man that tells me I am too dark or overlooks me
is not a man I desire in the first place [/b]because any man I will call my own must love me for me
and being that I pray to God that my eventual soul mate is dark skinned, he must love himself as well.

It's up to the mothers and fathers of our race to stand up and raise our children with pride
and educate them about their history. Too many non-blacks are dying over our complexions and
would pay sooo much to have the chance to trade places with us.

Self esteem is a must but it's not just a black problem. There are plenty of light skinned women
who wish to be darker and hate their complexions not to mention other races who have colorism issues
and hate their own.

btw this thread should be moved to culture or tribalism. [/color]

Excellent comment, one of the best I've read.

No congratulations?

Kony, just stop. Seriously, stop this. There's no point in continuing this dumb thread. I don't know what your aim is, but it's getting annoying. And just so you know, saiyaman, I always defend Africans when bashed.
