I have a question. Where I live people think that the mere thought of different human races is pretty offensive and well, racist. Personally I think categorizing people in different races is highly problematic cause it leads to racism. When I hear the word race I have immediately a picture of Hitler in my head.

Would you guys prefer it that way or are you happy with how race is defined in the US?

"Race" is a human construct; people annoyingly use it interchangeably with species. But as long as humans are still tribal in nature we're pretty much always going to have racism. It's never going away no matter how much we progress; not talking about it doesn't make it go away it just simply means one refuses to acknowledge the issue.

Categorizing the people into different "races" is problematic but it's so ingrained into human nature that it's a hard notion to let go specifically because there are differences in the ethnic groups; and humans by nature tend to group and categorize based on appearance, location, habit, etc.

American racial relations still suck major ass in my opinion; sure minorities aren't out there getting water hosed and attacked by dogs for simply going to the same restaurant as everyone else and we've made strides; but in the grand scheme of things we have quite a ways to go.
 
The problem with Halle was...she couldn't do it. She just couldn't do it.

Where they at is what I usually say

Freckles and pale skin is #1-5 on the list of best things don't hate

No such thing as too many freckles

Is it just me or do all these girls look really young?

First full day in Portland complete. Anxiety is in overdrive but I'll deal with it. In kind of a haze/autopilot mentally, happened when I moved to Vancouver for the first few days for a bit too.

Plusses definitely so far over Nebraska:

- Much more food variety in one spot. Omaha tends to clump together so next to my place was about 100 mexican food places.. if you want something else, have to trek across the city.

- Public transit seems a lot better, in layout. Haven't used it yet. But I'm still planning on getting a car.

- Actual cultural interaction. Omaha is segregated to fuck.

Minuses:

- Some motherfucker was playing appregios and scales on a keyboard outside for like 5 hours straight. I think that was my introduction to Portland.jpg

I was tuning my keytar dude! If I ever write you a song it's going to be nothing but arpeggios and scales.

Some of these freckles pics start reminding me of Dragon Age just a little

If we're going by decades, then it'd most def be Pam in the 70s, but for me, it'd be Vanity in the 80s.

70s Grier is great, 80s was...probably Claire Huxtable. Goddammit.

This all makes sense but it's so weird for me. I'm Italian which makes me white. My best friend is from Lebanon which makes him brown I guess. Ignoring that my skin, hair and eyes are darker as his I refuse to see us a different "races". I just can't. Maybe I'm guilty of using it interchangeably with species and that's why can't do it.

Honestly, I'm hoping we get to a point where social science uses race as a term synonymous with species, not ethnicity or nationality. There's nothing inherently wrong with nationalism at that point. Not really a problem with whipping it out, it's more when you start shoving it down other people's throats or view other ethnic groups / nations as inferior by contrast.

God who is her site designer? That dude needs to be put under a bus. And imagine dude probably charged like $2-3k for that trite mess.

Why do I even bother looking through OT sometimes.... It's too damn early for people to try and justify their actions and thoughts
 
You vats talking bout the OT. It's been a minute since I looked through that shit. Did more racial or sexist shit come through?


And Jandro I would knock the dust off that nookie. You damn right. I would hit it like Kyle almost banging Eartha Kitt.

I was joking with boys yesterday talking bout banging some odd females. I Fucking said I would bang Joan Rivers. My boy looked at me and said well at least parts of her are 18.

I remember in my younger days going through my uncle's porn collection and found a young Jeannie Pepper. Lawd them freckles.
 
I believe the reason why I'm attracted to the women I'm attracted to was because of shit I saw when I was younger. I mean to this day Fucking Kay Parker and Lynda Carter and Pam Grier and Vanessa Del Rio still do it.

Interesting question. I think the way race is defined now is still influenced by the way it was defined when they used it to justify slavery and imperialism. It's arbitrary as fuck. Even among poc there are many different features we have, colors we come in, cultures we have, and languages we speak but race makes people think in a binary. The concept of race (as we today understand it) is inherently racists because it was invented by racists imperialists to other themselves.

I like some of them. But I'm married, so it doesn't matter.

Change religions mate. I can be your witness during the ceremony.

My uncle just married his fourth wife in Afghanistan. Legit.

You can then have a black women, a freckled woman, and lastly a beautiful urban instagram model.


My uncle lliterally told me on the phone that I should come back and fulfill my duty to God and marry two or three of my cousins..
