This is for you

If many of them were white-passing enough, they would have left black ppl a long time ago.

Obama, Kamala Harris, Meghan, Mary seacole, Dele Alli.. bloody racists

Sorry 1Sharon, but I can't be wasting my time with such lazy modes of thinking as you are exhibiting here. Forgive me for ignoring you and for letting others tell you how wrong you are.

Mixed race ppl love to identify with their black side for politics and profit. I don't trust them, some of them can be just as racist as white supremacists.

This belief of yours is likely why you'd present a third party tweet as evidence of Meghan claiming Caucasian.

Sorry, but I don't trust such lazy generalisations and thinkings.

Meghan grew up in Hollywood with well known black mother and white father so it would be ridiculous for her to claim caucasian.

ANYTHNG THAT WILL STOP MY WIFE FROM HAVING QUALITY WITH MY KIDS, IS A "NO NO NO" TO ME, UNTIL THE START GETTING TO 15YRS OF AGE. THEN THEY ARE GO TO GO

Wouldn't it be great if the individual above felt the same way about himself spending quality time with his own kids? But I must admit that he must value the qualities in his wife so much that they must more than make up for his own deficiencies which he wisely choses not to impart on his kids, which is commendable of him.

I wonder if perhaps more kids will be better off if more fathers think as he does. Or perhaps more fathers should improve themselves so their kids benefit from the time they spend with fathers.

The UK blacks also know the system more than Meghan (An American). All these allegation doesn't surprise them a bit. Meghan was probably used to "in the face racism" which is common in the USA or some other eastern European countries. The subtle type of racism jolted her like a thunder strike.

Jolted her something chronic and she did not know the Black British way to stand up for herself.

Oyinbo will condescendingly patronize you if you don't know how to fight back, but once you show them you know, they slink off like the weaklings that racist bullys usually are.

'You said to oyinbo even 1/8th is black, in the UK at least'. That's not true.

Funny thing about UK is no one really goes about defining your race or your gender for you. You can have tits on your chest and call yourself a man and it is discrimination for anyone to say otherwise.

Most blacks with any amount of black will tell you they are black even if they look full caucasian. And if you look black, a caucasian will assume you are black, though they may never say it unless they are racists. Most just see each other as human beings unless you are popo doing stop and search.

From a genetic perspective, she is likely half black, half white.

No one goes to check your dna before determining if you are black or not. If you don't look black and do not want to identify as black, that's your choice. I know people who look full Caucasian but identify as black because they have a black parent. But if you look black, you will very likely be identified as black.

Its a well known fact that white skins, I mean really white skins, are extremely racial people, except the highly exposed ones. [s]Caucasians are racist from history, and are resposible for 90% of racist whites in America and Europe. They only pretend not to be on media just to looh good to the subservient nations they pretend to protect. Few of them are free from that curse.[/s]

You are obviously talking from the ignorance of having not lived amongst caucasians.

If I step outside my door right now and start begging for money, my fellow black people will take one eye look me and I'd probably get more money from the white folks.

Most do not discriminate against people because of colour, race, tribe, gender or if you are gay, unlike most people from a country I shall not mention, and if they dared to, I can get their asses arrested for violating the Equality Act 2010 which makes it illegal to discriminate against anyone because of their age, being or becoming a transsexual person, being married or in a civil partnership, being pregnant or on maternity leave disability, race including colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion, belief or lack of religion/belief, sex, sexual orientation!

I hope you somewhere wrote to ask what Harry hoped to accomplish by badmouthing his British monarchy family too, because you sound far too intelligent not to know Harry badmouthed his monarchy family too.

“Did you ever think about going to a hospital?” Winfrey asked. “Or is that possible, that you can check yourself in someplace?”

“That’s what I was asking to do … I couldn’t, you know, call an Uber to the palace,” Meghan said. “You have to understand, as well, when I joined that family, that was the last time … that I saw my passport, my driver’s license, my keys. All that gets turned over.”

Winfrey said it sounded like, “you were trapped and couldn’t get help, even though you were on the verge of suicide.”

“That’s the truth,” Meghan said. She added that Harry was very supportive, and he didn’t want her to be home alone after she told him all of this. When Harry joined the interview later, he said at first he was “ashamed” to admit to his family that Meghan needed help and ultimately realized it was an issue that they wouldn’t understand.

I think lying is one of d unrealest thing to have as a red flag bcuz everyone does/will do it at a point of time. Except u are an hypocrite.

And who says I am not a hypocrite? Did I not say something about the size of my own forest? You need to come see me burning in hell whenever I lie. I agonise that I must be so weak that I can not tell the truth and be damned so I stupidly damn myself by lying instead? "How stupid can you be, buda!"

It is still my red flag. Especially in a relationship. And most especially lying to oneself. We are done if I catch you lying to yourself!

I didn't expect you to read the transcripts for or to me.
Instead what I asked is why I should care for the opinions of those whom you select there were it concerns the teachings of Jesus Christ.

You do not need to care! 70 or so people viewed the thread before you did and did not care to comment and just moved on. You too, Kobojunkie, can very easily do likewise.

No one "expects you" and no be by force "to care".

Recall that the second comment there was in response to this...

There is nothing wrong in learning from you your personal truth on any subject. However, when it comes to the truth of God, only that which He taught matters.

As I said,

budaatum:
I'm inclined to want to believe that in order to answer your own question, you listened to the service or read the transcript, because you ask and knock and seek as preached by Jesus Christ and do not just lazily conclude or pressume.

Unless you expect me to read the transcript to you or listen to it for you, do please let me know if you have any questions after you have taken the advice above. They will be welcomed and appreciated.

I am more interested in learning from you what the opinions of these men has to do with any of what Jesus Christ taught and commanded His followers to teach.

Really? And you asked the following:

I am then to supposed that also means that when I ask a mere man a question, I should do that believing it is in the Name of God?

Why, kobojunkie, would you be interested in learning from me who is not Christ nor is asking you to believe anything in anythings name before you even research the contents of the thread you are commenting on? Would you also ask a preacher to preach Bible to you before you read Bible for yourself like a sheepie seeking a shepherd? huh

Mine is liars. I can not stand people intentionally telling me black is white.

I can forgive them if they do not know but would prefer they admit their ignorance. Its why I get the hump with believers since they tend to believe precisely because they do not know. But of course that forest in my eye is bigger than the spec of it in the eyes of others so I forgive so I can forgive myself. Liars though? Yuke people!

[quote author= post=98038826]The Astonishing Story Of Jeff Bezos' Biological Father Who Didn't Even Know Bezos Existed Until Few Years Ago.

The last time Jeff Bezos, the 57-year-old CEO and founder of Amazon, saw his biological father, he was three years old.

His biological father, whose name is Ted Jorgensen, was 18 when he impregnated Bezos' mother, Jacklyn Gise, who herself was 17. They were both still in high school at the time. They got married before their son was born.

The marriage lasted only 17 months, reports Brad Stone at Bloomberg Businessweek, who has unearthed astonishing new details about Bezos' family's early years.

Gise moved in with her parents because Jorgensen stayed out late, and drank too much, and was generally an inattentive father and husband says Stone. He agreed to a divorce, and paid a small amount of child support to Gise when he had money. Other times he missed the payments.

Three years after their divorce, Gise married another man, Miguel Bezos, a Cuban immigrant who taught himself English, and eventually worked at Exxon. Miguel adopted Jeff, and Jeff took his last name. Jorgensen had to sign off on the name change, which he did, Stone reports.

For a brief period Jorgensen remembered the Bezos name, but through the years he forgot about it, and dropped completely out of touch with his ex-wife and his son.

Jorgensen's absence from Bezos' life was so complete that in a 1999 interview with Wired, Bezos said of Jorgensen, "I've never met him," although, in reality he lived with him for the first year of his life.

"The reality, as far as I'm concerned, is that my Dad is my natural father. The only time I ever think about it, genuinely, is when a doctor asks me to fill out a form," said Bezos in 1999.

Jorgensen, for his part, had a nearly identical attitude about Bezos.

However, Stone managed to find Jorgensen, now 79, who owns a bike shop in Glendale, Arizona.

Here's how Jorgensen reacted when Stone introduced himself: "He had no idea what I was talking about. Jorgensen said he didn’t know who Jeff Bezos was and was baffled by my suggestion that he was the father of this famous CEO."

Stone jogged Jorgensen's memory, trotting out details about Bezos and his mother. Says Stone, "The old man’s face flushed with recognition. 'Is he still alive?' he asked, not yet fully comprehending."

Bezos' biological father had disconnected so thoroughly from Bezos life that not only did he not remember his name, and not only did he not realize his son was one of the richest men in the world, but he wasn't even sure if his son was still alive.

Jorgensen says that in his younger days "I wasn’t a good father or a husband." He eventually quit drinking, got his act together and opened his bike shop.
He's married, but had no other children in his life beyond Bezos.

A family friend told Stone later that Jorgensen felt overwhelmed with sadness and regret. He wants to get in touch with Bezos, but it's unclear if that will ever happen.
