you're the cowgirl anyway, u probably know more about that. lol

Texas.Cowgirl:


But eventually, you come back.

@c.four
I dont see this section as male-dominated tho
Most of the male posters here act like imbecilic children
Nothing a good belt cant handle

lol something i've learned. I make sure to always have the leather belt in hand

I'm surprised they haven't started posting their gifs. they tend to do that once they've been shamed.
maybe also to increase their post count on this thread. hahaha

Texas.Cowgirl:


Wait, c.four is a chick? all this while, I think say na man.....female soldier, I salute.

I don't put a sex in front of my username.because there are tons of rabid sexists on here. I post a lot in the politics section (as you probably notice). most think i'm male because of that.
issokay. for a while I thought jk rowling was male too (not trying to toot my horn in the comparison anything)until I found out.
there just aren't as many females doing that kind of stuff.
we sure are brave

Black Kenichi:

Wrong! More black men are married outside of the race and at a much higher percentage than black women. Face facts, little feminazi!

the marriage do not last more than 5 yrs. majority end up as failed marriages! #FAIL. are you going to blame black women for that as well?

ever the sperm-donors that you are.

Least likely to divorce:

Asian/Asian
White Male /Black Female
Hispanic W/Hispanic W
White/White
White Male/Asian Female
White Male/ Hispanic W Female

hmm I wonder why black males do not show up on the "least likely to divorce" list. well, because the are busy topping the "most likely to divorce" lists!! Always trying to blame black women for their problems when the problem lies squarely on themselves.

Texas.Cowgirl:


Look, lol, I can't even stand the concept of babymamarism, so I won't even defend them.

GBAM!!

Black Kenichi:

So what they still do better at interracial relationships than black women.

like I said, the statistics show that they do not.

all the are good at is procreating and serving as sperm-donors.
of course part of the blame should go to the stupid women/baby-mamas whether black or white (most white women who give birth to children with black males also end up as baby mamas hmm I wonder why).

Black Kenichi: @Texas.Cowgirl:
Please cut the BS about the "no decent black men" trope. It's so full of sh1t.
Tell more about the white men complaining about black stealing their women and white men have weak sperm that they can't reproduce.
Of course you won't talk about it because to a black feminist the white man is "GOD"

white men know that blacks take their leftover. besides, most of them end up as baby mamas as well.
also, black women married to white males do very well. they have the lowest divorce rates of any race in USA (their marriages are even more successful than white men married to white women) fact.
black males have the highest rate of divorce and dysfunctional marriage (regardless of what race woman they are married to).
this is all part of the Census statistics if u are wondering.

so you see, it is a black male problem.

Texas.Cowgirl:


One of my akata friend almost did the same.
Her military bf/fiance wanted her to have a kid during her undergrad
She contemplated it and reasoned within herself that she could make it work
During this time, I was begging her not to do it
A few months later, he cheated on her with an IVC chic lol.....imagine if she had had the baby for him
Thank God sha
I'd have ended my friendship with her tho....sorry, I don't keep the type of friends that would humiliate me in public

was the "baby-mama in the making" planning to drop out of college?
or carry her ratchet pregnant belly up and down the campus.

most of them are just looking for baby mamas. aka stupid nannies.
unfortunately feminism hasn't taken root in AA communities because if it did, the idea of "baby mama" or whatever it is won't exist!!
even if they want to be single parents, the should build their career first. then the task will be much easier. they can hire an actuall nanny.

[size=14pt]Obama's Father's Day Message to American Black Males[/size]

Yes, we need more jobs and more job training and more opportunity in our communities.

But we also need families to raise our children. We need fathers to realize that responsibility does not end at conception. We need them to realize that what makes you a man is not the ability to have a child - it's the courage to raise one.

We need to help all the mothers out there who are raising these kids by themselves; the mothers who drop them off at school, go to work, pick up them up in the afternoon, work another shift, get dinner, make lunches, pay the bills, fix the house, and all the other things it takes both parents to do. So many of these women are doing a heroic job, but they need support. They need another parent. Their children need another parent. That's what keeps their foundation strong. It's what keeps the foundation of our country strong.

I know what it means to have an absent father, although my circumstances weren't as tough as they are for many young people today. Even though my father left us when I was two years old, and I only knew him from the letters he wrote and the stories that my family told, I was luckier than most. I grew up in Hawaii, and had two wonderful grandparents from Kansas who poured everything they had into helping my mother raise my sister and me - who worked with her to teach us about love and respect and the obligations we have to one another. I screwed up more often than I should've, but I got plenty of second chances. And even though we didn't have a lot of money, scholarships gave me the opportunity to go to some of the best schools in the country. A lot of kids don't get these chances today. There is no margin for error in their lives. So my own story is different in that way.

Still, I know the toll that being a single parent took on my mother - how she struggled at times to the pay bills; to give us the things that other kids had; to play all the roles that both parents are supposed to play. And I know the toll it took on me. So I resolved many years ago that it was my obligation to break the cycle - that if I could be anything in life, I would be a good father to my girls; that if I could give them anything, I would give them that rock - that foundation - on which to build their lives. And that would be the greatest gift I could offer.

the reason why single parent-hood is higher among blacks is because black men refuse to contribute to the family.
esp if they are unemployed. and trust me black males have the highest unemployment statistics in USA!! even the ones that are employed can't be bothered.
At least among the whites, if the husband is unemployed or underemployed, he doesn't mind contributing to domestic chores. because seriously, otherwise, white single parent rates will also be high. white males just happen to understand better that marriage has to be re-defined. we don't live in 1800s anymore.


This is the reason why single parenthood isn't as high among whites:



among blacks, most unemployed males will rather be roaming the streets and getting into criminal activity and jail than staying home to help raise their children.

[size=14pt]Behind Every Great Woman[/size]

A generation of female breadwinners look back on the sacrifices—some little, some profound—required to have the careers they wanted. Like hundreds of thousands of women who have advanced into management roles in the past two decades—and, in particular, the hundreds who’ve become senior corporate officers—she figured out early what every man with a corner office has long known: To make it to the top, you need a wife. If that wife happens to be a husband, and increasingly it is, so be it.

When Carly Fiorina became Hewlett-Packard’s (HPQ) first female chief executive officer, the existence of her househusband, Frank Fiorina, who had retired early from AT&T (T) to support her career, was a mini-sensation; now this arrangement isn’t at all unusual. Seven of the 18 women who are currently CEOs of Fortune 500 companies—including Xerox’s (XRX) Ursula Burns, PepsiCo’s (PEP) Indra Nooyi, and WellPoint’s (WLP) Angela Braly—have, or at some point have had, a stay-at-home husband. So do scores of female CEOs of smaller companies and women in other senior executive jobs. Others, like IBM’s (IBM) new CEO, Ginni Rometty, have spouses who dialed back their careers to become their powerful wives’ chief domestic officers.

This role reversal is occurring more and more as women edge past men at work. Women now fill a majority of jobs in the U.S., including 51.4 percent of managerial and professional positions, according to U.S. Census Bureau data. Some 23 percent of wives now out-earn their husbands, according to a 2010 study by the Pew Research Center. And this earnings trend is more dramatic among younger people. Women 30 and under make more money, on average, than their male counterparts in all but three of the largest cities in the U.S.

During the recent recession, three men lost their jobs for every woman. Many unemployed fathers, casualties of layoffs in manufacturing and finance, have ended up caring for their children full-time while their wives are the primary wage earners. The number of men in the U.S. who regularly care for children under age five increased to 32 percent in 2010 from 19 percent in 1988, according to Census figures. Among those fathers with preschool-age children, one in five served as the main caregiver.

Even as the trend becomes more widespread, stigmas persist. At-home dads are sometimes perceived as freeloaders, even if they’ve lost jobs. Or they’re considered frivolous kept men—gentlemen who golf. The househusbands of highly successful women, after all, live in luxurious homes, take nice vacations, and can afford nannies and housekeepers, which many employ at least part-time. In reaction, at-home dads have launched a spate of support groups and daddy blogs to defend themselves.

“Men are suddenly seeing what it’s been like for women throughout history,” says Linda R. Hirshman, a lawyer and the author of Get to Work, a book that challenges at-home moms to secure paying jobs and insist that their husbands do at least half the housework. Caring for children all day and doing housework is tiring, unappreciated work that few are cut out for—and it leaves men and women alike feeling isolated and diminished.

There’s some good news about the at-home dads trend. “By going against the grain, men get to stretch their parenting abilities and women can advance,”

But I am not happy with a system that denigrates fatherhood and marriage

But point noted

feminism is about redefining marriage. if you feel that it denigrates fatherhood then that shows you how motherhood has been denigrated for centuries.

fellis:

My point was that your link is not related to this thread. Not this long story you are telling.

don't mind him.
he is trying so hard to associate single parenthood with feminism when the two are totally different and absolutely unrelated.
single parenthood is mostly a result of poverty. when the father doesn't have a job and can't care for his family then he becomes useless and unnecessary. Nothing feminist about that. Just common sense. Even the most ardent anti-feminist will do the same.
Unless he sets aside his ego and decide to contribute to child rearing/ help raise the child (ie househusband), then he is of no use in d home.
that is why marriage needs to be re-defined.

biolabee:

As I have told you I have no issue with feminism as long as its focus is social justice

ok. you are not a feminist. so why bother yourself about what feminists are fighting for?
why don't you join a social justice group and fight for it.
let the feminists fight for issues facing women.

jeez

you will need to wait for the cells that make up d outerlayer of your skin to turn-over/ regenerate.
to make the process faster, you can exfoliate. try scrubbing with sugar for example and wearing protective clothing. don't expose ur skin to d sun.

I want to try it. it's supposed to be good for your health.
only thing keeping me back is that i'm busy and need my strength. I might try it when I'm on vacation.

I will only believe if a paparazzi takes d pic.
otherwise how do I believe that the pics haven't been retouched? I'm saying this because rita's pic looks unbelievable. it's been airbrushed and retouched.

Graphene: Taking nothing away from Dbanj, I believe the collabo with the romanian-briton did that track a whole lot of good in terms of marketing it to the foreign audience also not forgetting that the story,oliver twist,is a very popular one that has endeared billions all over the world.
I personally would love the Dbanj and Don Jazzy bruhaha to end. Many will agree that both parties haven't blown us away with their individual music since they went their separate ways.
this is just my opinion, please don't burn!!

I agree. most of the views r due to the collaboration/people involved in d video: Bricka-bricka and Kanye.
but the song has a really catchy tune to D'banj's credit

Things will continue mostly as they are. Being independent in paper doesn't necessarily means that one is independent. Nigeria can be divided into 10 parts yet be controlled by the same people as when it was attached together as one.
on the other hand, we can choose to remain as one yet have considerable autonomy in each region. this is ideal.

nice pic. how old are you and your wife. you look like a very young couple.

^ Seeing someone like Eniola Badmus makes many fat posters feel better about themselves. u can't blame them.
