Slayvens thread is funny. I get people don't understand Aizen but thirsty? "That guy is thirsty for pussy". People really can't figure it out?
Are these the same guys that go into threads and say shit like "who's Drake?"
Still, this is one thing I hate about the Gaf community and it goes on everywhere here. Instead of just not posting or looking shit up, they'd rather go on for pages saying now they don't understand. I saw it happen in the gaming side yesterday too.

Like I mentioned before, some of them just might be guilty of that behavior.
That being said, everyone has simped in the past. Not too much shame in that. The shame comes from not learning to stop.
Thinking of teaching English in Brazil or just traveling somewhere, hasn't been the best year for me, kind of need a major change of scenery. Outside of my family, there's nothing stopping me, no GF, no kids, I have no debt, been teaching myself Portuguese for the last few months and can blend in with locals in pretty much any country with brown folks (India and other parts of Asia being the exceptions).
Just need to get away for a bit, clear my mind.

You should ahve told her to give you the names and addresses of her family so you could put them on the black do not disturb list.
I can't believe folks are getting mad at my thread. Like Big Mama use to say " a hit dog would holla".
So what we have is basically the thread version of
"This script clearly says, 'black man'. And what exactly is dikku?
When I read the OP I thought 'no way are you catching fish with that weak bait'.
Man, was I wrong.
I finished reading Master of the Mountain: Thomas Jefferson and His Slaves and it showed me how little I know about the US founding fathers.
Thomas Jefferson started off his political career as an abolitionist (working to end slavery) but changed his tune when it came to policy after he quietly noted that he was making a profit for each slave born into his possession. Publicly stating how slavery was a terrible blight on Americans yet working to increase his profits at home. Turning aside numerous requests to free his slaves (including an offer that would have abolished all of his debt), adding numerous lies to the public discourse in order to slow the abolitionist movement, and making his slavery problem go away by simply rebuilding his plantation so that visitors would never see the slaves toiling in his hidden fields or underneath the visible areas of his mansion.
Good read and it opened my eyes a bit :\

I'm guessing that's a variant of "throw a rock into a pack of dogs, and the one that gets hit hollers"? Well, I guess you threw a lot of stones, because they are screaming.
Pretty much.
Dy trying to upstage me because I joked on his preg game. Crabs in a bucket.
And gxp hits next week. I wonder how long before we get that other tenchi spin off series, or dual!
Dy looks like he's about to activate real mode.
It kills me that they went so hard. It is kind of eye opening.
Real mode Dy scares me. I have seen him snatch souls using a five sentence post
Speaking of pregnant women...
So she asked me to move in right? I replied "no - because lol, i like living with no financial obligations beyond my phone and internet bill. also, not going down because of things at work". All good. No surprise rage, no coming to my place and seeing who I'm with, etc. Too easy. I even called her from a strip club I was at on Saturday > no issues at all.
Hits me up after I get back from Gatesville, TX aka Lynchville, USA and she didn't lose a step.
What I was referring to before though about the "she hit me with the lifestorythatididnotwanttohear" was her laying down with me and watching a bad movie while telling me what all she'd been doing for the past 2-3 years. Long story short, junior olympic swimmer, husband walked out on her, rare case of female with combat unit, rape, crazy family (but she knows it) and....... she's actually dealing with her shit. Which is mindblowing. Its like I'm staring straight at the personified difference between "Baggage vs Drama"
Also, I fucking hate when women ask me "Why are you still single?" Seething rage broods within me.
Face it Tiger..

Crazy bag of emotions, dy
Its actually really fucked up after that part. It completely explained the situation to me (and thank god I didn't have to ask because I really didn't want to). She was pregnant with her husband's kid 3 years ago - and she felt she had to get an abortion when he walked out on her. She had an abortion after she was raped. And at this point, she thinks she can't handle another one. So I'm like... "yeah, I completely understand ...and wow"
I did take Bish's advice and made it clear that I was going to put the ball in her court. I absolutely refuse to lead this woman on. So when she asked me over to her place that day, I made it as clear and blunt as I could that I'd go at her pace to see where this goes and whenever something became an issue, I'd make it known on the spot. She's already got her own plan so its not like she's banking on me.
Thank God OG Tenchi finally comes out on Blu-Ray for a not-shitty price in December. This fall is actually kind of a blowout for anime on BR.

Damn, that story is painful to read. But it's good to hear that she is trying to move on.
Props for handling this situation maturely.
Mature handling of real shit? Is this Gaf?
For real, good to hear you and her are doing what's right for both of you.

whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up there... you're not supposed to take the good advice from a thread, you're supposed to ignore it and make a terrible decision then come back and tell everyone about the crazy thing you did to keep the thread going wild!
Man, white people really perfected racism in the 30-50s. I was flicking through some channels last night, and a movie called Band of Angels was mislabeled as Rawhide due to Day Lights Savings... and that movie is something else. It's basically an attempt at recreating Gone with the Wind and that shit is every bit as racist.
There's a scene where the plantation owners come back home after a long hiatus, and the slaves just break out into song and dance because they're excited Master is back... skipping and jiving across the plantation. There was one slave going HAM, dude was leading the pack, shucking and jiving like a motherfucker. The blatant racism in these movies are just funny as fuck at this point.

Racist as anything, but I fuckin' love those crows from Dumbo. Best song in the whole damn movie.

bitch I'm taking calls.
Yeah it's fucked to think about how I watched the fuck out of that movie as a kid and loved that bit then forgot all about it and never realised the imagery there until Paul Mooney brought it up.
Good old racist, anti-semetic Disney. Almost have a kind of nostalgia for the blatant shit cartoons pulled like Speedy Gonzales in favor of the sneaky stuff that goes on now.

Not slave discussion, but for a lot of my lit classes the racist stuff in novels would always make at least one person look at me. Like if the white teacher says "nigger" or "negro," someone would do the dramatic turn to see if I was offended or not.
maaaaaaaaaaan...kids used to get their money's worth out of saying nigger in literature.
i forget what we were reading but for whatever reason the teacher decided to pass the paragraph in question off to one of the students.
kid gets to the word and asks "can i say it?" "sure it's for educational purposes"
*deepest inhale i've ever heard in my life* "NIGGER!!!!"
*classwide facepalm*
after that the teacher avoided any similar incidents

Yes, children's programming. *rubs hands together* We can't show any black people but lets portray them animal style by showing some crows dressed like bums singing about what "they dun seen".

This is hilarious.
lol
reminds me of Chris Rock. he leaned into that shit
Also, one of my favorite strategies in the academic context is to sit back, say nothing, look thoughtful, and try not to smile as I drink in the awkwardness of everybody else
nah, you can dart your eyes over here all you want, not getting any help from over here.
They really did. Blackface was racist as hill, but they had some awesome comedic timing.
Racial issues aside, that's by far the best song in Dumbo. Those are some hep crows.
Edit: I see you already said that. That's what I get for scrolling from the bottom up.
I think it's time for me to post it.
