In this video, there are white rioters .

Not another white person will call them degrading names for it.

If you watch the video of the protests, there are a good number of white people involved in it. Throwing things at the police too.
Guess who our local know-it-all’s are blaming? The black people of course. They are the animals. While their white counterparts (bless their hearts for being allies) marching side by side with them and rioting with them have no blame in the riots.

Just lying down silently beside each other can get more intimate than sex.

What kind of candidates do they hire as police over there.. former high school bullies? Because the video suggested it.. no empathy nothing..
Many of them had slave owning great/grandparents. They and their own parents are still actively in the ku klux klan.
It’s not a question of being bullies. It’s a generational need to keep the black man down. They pass the teaching to their sons and daughters.

One way of maintaining this power is by joining the police force. So they specifically join the force for this reason. Look at that killer’s face. In public. No fear of reprimand even when he knew he was being recorded. You have to know something gives him the confidence that this is okay to do and as we say “nothing dey happen”.

The sex part
We get old
Tired and can't learn new things
How do we keep it going considering how it was when we started?
I corrected my post. It’s 6 going on 7
I don’t know where I’m rushing to. grin

Keeping an open mind about the sex I guess cheesy

When I was younger I thought it would be a bad marriage if the husband and wife don’t have sex everyday. Cos you’re supposed to be attracted to each other all the time bla bla bla.

But you grow and learn each other. And you realize that if you’re both happy and content, whatever route you took to get there even if it doesn’t fit the ideal romance is a good one.

liberalchick:
No, I didn’t marry the wrong person. I am just being realistic, living with someone for the rest of your life will not always be romantic and easy. There are different stages in marriages where it’s excellent, good, bad, sometimes ugly and then neutral.

Also, sometimes when people say their marriage is easy, sometimes it’s one sided, they are probably oblivious of their partner’s sacrifice to make the marriage an easy one for them.
@bold is so true.
Especially if they have fixed roles. One person may have their side pat down and doesn’t realize the other person is struggling to meet up to their end of the bargain.
Or they don’t realize their partner doesn’t like the sex (for example). And to them everything is fine

Married for 6 years going on 7.

I must tell you that the timeline people prescribe for certain things is often not the same for everyone. So the peak of your romance may not be when you expect it. Your difficult times may not be a the very beginning. Etc

What surprised me most is the inevitable fights you’re told that you’re supposed to be having. That may never happen depending on your temperament. So you may find yourself having dull boring disagreements that you won’t even know when it’s over. But nothing explosive that requires hot make up s*x like the romance books describe grin.

Dyt:
What is Before, In Between and After?

Yeah we all know marriage is an institution between 2 persons with the aim to have offspring and companionship, but is this all we see and make of it?

I am a person that believes in relationship/marriage and tries to go far in making it work well except when it starts to affect my mental health (i cant go mad all in the name of i want it to work)

Some say marriage is easy while some say its a hard work, we all have different opinions..
I for one been married before, it didnt work not because i couldnt try but (my choice anyway)

I am considering going into another and all the things that we do that counts now may not in few years, I mean the sexiness, the kamasutra and all, well ofcourse i am not just gonna be offering just sex, we both got more to keep us going for a 100years to come (my favourite part is the friendship and companionship)...

I am scared sometimes waking up to him every other day and same way it excites me cheesy cheesy grin grin

How has it been with those married for 5years and counting? the joy, feeling, the tears, the arguments, the sex, I mean all of it....

Australians, Europeans, most Americans, everywhere and everyone the video of Floyd’s death has reached, most people have been enraged (a valid emotional response) and called for justice.
On a topic most of the whole world agrees on;

Only on Nairaland will there be argument. Because as usual the pathetic need to be right, to be at the front of every conversation (even while ignorant about nuances of it) is too strong to resist. Can’t take a day off from meaningless internet ego massage sessions.

I don’t think rioting is the most 'productive' response, but that’s because they end up destroying their own communities that they live in and only end up hurting themselves, not because of any image you think they should preserve to please massa.

Respectability politics is not getting rid of systemic racism and bias, peaceful protests aren’t stopping black people from getting killed for something a white person would get a slap on the wrist for. If you watched the video, you would see that people 'calmly' pleading with the officer to get off the victim’s neck did nothing. That’s why white people can march into a government building to protest lockdowns that are supposed to be protecting them, screaming into the faces of officials while armed without violent resistance from officials, but black people would not be given the same allowances. Or when a white person goes on a shooting spree and is given the ‘grace’ of being termed mentally ill but everyone else is a terrorist or a thug. You can't discount the bias.

Everything has a boiling point, so when they're getting angry and reacting ‘emotionally’, who can blame them? ….I do however agree that black people need to focus on improving their socio-economical standing, prioritise votes, acquiring better positions in institutions, strategising politically, creating spaces of their own etc. They’re easier to ‘conquer’ in situations like this because very few of them are in positions of power Because after all of this, a few months later they’re back to square one.
Also factor in the general population of whites to blacks. Not easy to get elected into positions of power when you’re the minority.
We are in fact asking all black people to be like Obama . We asking them to be 10 times better than the average white man to get the same amount of respect afforded a white person. Because that’s what it would take to actually have more black people in positions of power despite them being a minority.

This black paramedic was arrested while saving a life. AKA putting up his portion in society.
In case you’re wondering what his crime was, his skin tone was the culprit.

I agree with some parts of your post.

But failing to recognize the validity of the emotions involved in this situation will not lead to any lasting solutions either.

Can’t kill a man in broad daylight like an ant and tell his people to be rational about it.
Has being rational helped in any of the cases where there were peaceful protests afterwards? Hardly.

What’s the point of picking out the ills of the African American community like other communities don’t have ills they are known for yet are afforded justice in most cases like human beings.

Saying that others (America) should not be expected to accommodate blacks and that is has not been earned is a ludicrous statement. What do they have to do to earn their stay in a place where they were born into? You kidding? I don’t even want to go into the contributions of their ancestors to the building of the country. And what’s that about putting up their portion in society? huh Wow.

Please people !


The actual real thing I agree with that you said is them getting more place in the government. That could help but you’re discounting innate hatred as the cause of all this and instead you’re making it the responsibility of the victim to make their oppressor stop oppressing them. I can’t with this conversation.

Dignity5:
Both sides of this are quite wrong and so this problem will persist but am afraid the AA's will be on the losing end. Losing out on development, image , just about every thing worth losing.

Trying to promote revolution like this is the worse possible thing that can afford to do. The AA image has been bad from the onset and bad apples have given no reasons for these already highly prejudiced folks to try and table differences. People selling drugs? an AA is probably involved, a robbery? yeah representing as well, violent crimes? can't be left out. African's in Africa are not much better, leaders to street dwellers. The economies, cities and streets, standard of life, it's just really telling of who they are. If black people do not sit down and act like human beings others won't.

This mindset that others will go out of their way to accommodate blacks is also naive and hasn't even been earned in my view. Call for this guy's head but two more will spring up. Emotional responses like this would also muddy the road to a lasting solution which is to put up their portion in society. At the very least If more AA's were in legislative, judiciary, executive roles a more substantial impact would be at hand, their fate would be in their hands.

That father and son who killed ahmaud arbery walked free for two months. No arrests were made until the video of the killing was made public.

Don’t forget he was a police officer for 3 decades. Imagine how many black men suffered injustices at his hand and had no evidence against him?
The police went to the home of the victim and lied to his family that he was shot during a robbery. Meanwhile they had the video and knew what really happened. They sat on the video and let that former police officer and his son walk around like nothing happened. If not for a national outcry, they wouldn’t have been arrested.

I have no complaints about how any black person chooses to react to this. Since they can’t trust the system to give them true justice following due process.



eyinjuege:
Update
Hopefully, justice is served in this case, as we can only but hope.
The cops always get away with the extrajudicial killings of blacks in America, and only lose their jobs, to go get another job in the next state and move on with their lives.
The families of their victims are stuck forever in limbo, unable to get over the loss.

Cop who killed Floyd is obviously racist.
His hat reads.
“Make whites great again”.

Implying the presence of black people in America is a problem to them.

This cop has previously been involved in 3 shooting of African American and multiple complaints as well. He was still allowed to have a badge until he murdered Floyd.

Look at him. hand in his pocket. Relaxingly squeezing the life out of Floyd who was already handcuffed behind his back and posed absolutely no threat to the cops. Yes this POS enjoyed every minute that he knelt on him. There was no way he didn’t feel it when Floyd went limp under him.

The murderer’s accomplices stood by and did nothing.
If one of them tapped him or told him to stop, Floyd would still be alive.

What was his crime?
Allegedly issuing a fake check (something of that nature) Nothing violent. Allegedly too.

Even mass murderers who are still armed are often arrested without being killed.

It’s alright. Many women feel like this because they are ready to be in a serious relationship but keep meeting partners who are not interested in being serious. Hence they get desperate and the cycle keeps repeating itself.

Once you come to the realization that you can have a great life with or without a romantic relationship and/or marriage, You will have a kind of peace that even attracts the relationship that you’ve been chasing after. Effortlessly.

You’re not even the side chic.
Why are you calling his main woman the ex?
He’s just cheating on her with you.
And I said you’re not even the side chic because if he saved your name with your location, that means he has to work on remembering you when you text or call him. So your location helps him remember.

There might be 3 or 4 of you with whom he is cheating on his woman. He has the keep it straight in his mind so your location helps him remember who you are.

And this is the same j*rk that was treating you like his servant in your former thread. If a man loves you, you won’t confused by his actions towards you.
