I hate black people  

Welcome to you all!

angels1:
ppl shld learn to love who they marry and not maryy who they love because what we call love most times is lust or obession

Then maybe what people need to do is learn to differentiate between love, lust and obsession. I'd say, marry who you love.

Kelvinj:
No it doesnt, thatz gonna cause more harm dude.

I'd say thesame. It sounds to me more like a battlefield than a loving relationship. Please, it isnt that difficult. If you're having to decide which is the fool and which one rules, you're certainly not in a loving relationship.

In a loving relationship, you've got enough respect for each other to let the little things go, to NOT stress the small stuff, to let go of control, and embrace your confidence within yourself and with your love.

I mean by all means, stand your ground when you have to but most times, you'll find that all there really is worth fighting for, is your love for that person, and nothing else.

There is something wrong with smiling?

ROFLMAO! Oh goodness that is too funny!

A friend on my friendslist once posted "Oh, I had my interview for welfare today, I hope get it!"
I shook my head in amazement expecially since I know she has NO disability and had just fluncked out of school. I felt so bad because I know if she gets it, it'll be coming out of my taxes.

Dont date people who lack integrity. A person with integrity would not take you for granted.

Akebulan:
You mean she was despoiled?

WTF! I typed "rap-ed", NOT despoiled! Someone please change that stupid autocorrect thing. I mean, when the hell did rap-e become such a forbidden word? WTF!

You mean she was raped?

Hmm. I hope she will be okay. Please encourage her to get tested. And remind her, that it isnt her fault.

Karma is real, people. The people who did this (I have enough faith that they arent NLers), will surely get theirs.

I saw Avatar 4 times. I liked it that much. BUT If I had to pick between Avatar and Jenifa, I'd pick Jenifa in a second.

That movie, is classic!

Well said. Wish I could use this as my signature

@ Afiq. Thank you. I thought it was brilliant too, when I read it.

It is a challenge to every religious (and spiritual) person who reads this, to break free of the confining comforts that the four walls of their sanctuaries provide, and reach out to the real people who matters. Pay your tithes to God. Pay your tithes to the God in the people who really need it. Help those in need. Accumulation of wealth should not be our goals. If you accumulate it, surely, you must be depriving another from it.

Black people are often times the ones who are lower on the socioeconomic scale. This shouldnt be. Historically, we've been dedicated (sometimes against our wills but thats another thread), hardworking and reliable people. History DOES repeat itself. Let the houses that supposedly house God's promises and love, break free of their walls and spread the love to the people who truly matters. They will not be able to pay the tithes that wealthier people can but they can provide gratitude, love and the changes we need. Let our black churches, mosques, our clergymen and women, lift the people up!

Black clergy: Where are you?


Warning. This column will make some folks mad. If you read further, you must also know I don’t care whether it makes some people mad or not. To use an oft too-used phrase: It is what it is. Call me if you like, but remember, a hit dog hollers.

Late last year, I went on a tear about the Bibb County school system. I’m not off that soap box, yet, I’m just beginning. However, there is enough malaise in Bibb County to choke an ox, and much of that is coming from the black church.

A visiting pastor from Minneapolis, Jerry McAfee, came to our city last July, brought here by the Rev, Ronald Terry to meet with his fellow reverends about how to address crime, which, at the time, seemed to be rampant. One council member, James Timley, suggested bringing in the National Guard.

After meeting with the area’s black ministers, he told me with resignation that all would come to naught. He said, “They don’t want to get their hands dirty. They are full of talk, just talk.”

There was a reason Jesus never had a physical church, and there are reasons now that pastors have to break down the four walls of their churches and blanket their neighborhoods with a message of hope. And they have to engage in this ministry without any expectation that they will break even financially. It’s hard work, and the only return on the investment will be in the number of lives changed. But isn’t that their business, saving souls and changing lives?

I’m always reminded that after pointing out problems, I must point to solutions. Here’s what the black church can do. What we are seeing in the black community — crime, early childbirth, under-education — is our problem. Certainly, we would accept any help from others, but this is a black thang. The issues our community face today are our issues. To use a phrase that was a positive as a pejorative: It’s a black thang, you wouldn’t understand.”

It is a black thang. How could white people come to understand why our young black males are listless and prone to violence and mayhem? How can we expect white people to understand when we don’t understand?

Not understanding is OK, however, many of our churches aren’t trying to understand. Many are fine congregating with their own congregants in their rarely used family life centers.

There are more white churches reaching out to our community than black churches. Stop right here. They don’t have to do what they are doing. They could simply hide behind the gates of their communities, but they feel the tug of Christ. Granted, there are some white churches that haven’t been tugged past integration yet. But many busy themselves feeding and clothing the hungry. They spend their own money to make sure black children, mostly, have a place to go when school ends. Where are you, black clergy?

I don’t mean to paint all with the same brush. There are churches, black ones, that are answering the call, but there are many who haven’t seen a call beyond their own church coffers.

How many after-school programs has the black church started and sustained? How many children are being led to Christ through the missions of the church?

I challenge every black church to take on two missions. First, open the doors of your churches to the neighborhood. An invitation isn’t enough; members will have to canvas the neighborhoods, maybe more than once, and invite those unchurched to attend. Do they need transportation? Provide it. Do they have kids? Bring ’em. Do they have other needs? Fill ’em.

This will not be easy or instantly rewarding. It may take decades before a change is noticed. But the black clergy’s habit of burying its head in the sand has failed miserably. It’s time to do more than talk the talk. It’s time to start walking the walk.

If you are running programs to draw youth to your church, let me know. I’m going to continue naming names of those churches that are following Christ by feeding his sheep, both physically and emotionally.

She isnt for you. She has chosen who she wants and it obviously, isnt you. Its hard, but let go, and let God. It may seem like hell now, but when the right woman comes into your life, you'll know that it was all worth it.

*tears*

Its so true. The role could have been reversed.

Regardless who inflicts the abuse, no one should have to accept abuse from anyone especially someone who claims to love them "till death do us part". Simply leave.

Yeah I remember meeting a guy once. He claimed to be American. The truth is, his accent was straight out of Nigeria.

What these people are lacking, is that they do not know that confidence, is sexy.
That whole "Be yourself" speech we all got (too often) in highschool, was NOT a joke.

Somalian females do tend to look really pretty. These ones are no different

Nelson Mandela and an old friend named Fredric Samvura.

Those two, are my heroes.

@op
Because love does not have a permanent address.

LOL good one

Why? Same reason why people fall in love in person. Because they fall in love! Because they like something about the person, thats why.

If youre trying to imply that falling in love online is wrong, (to each her own but, ) i think you have the wrong idea.

In a world filled with so much hate, am suprised we care where or how people fall in love. Love is love, regardless if you were in the bathroom taking a piss or on the internet checking your email when you tripped, why does it matter?

I wish i didnt, but i soooo feel.

vivaladiva:
i have a feeling your wish has already come true, but your just too scared to open up your presents
