Anyone from the UK here?

I'm looking to get Magnum 'doms in store as I don't want to order online.

Also does anyone recommend their thin ones or any other larger thin 'doms? The ones i used thr other day were so thick and tight i couldnt buss There's a reason I'm asking in BlackGAF
lol I am from London. As for larger condoms, the Passant King Size ones fit me well and you can get larger Durex ones which fit me easily and there's less fucking around with trying to put it on.*

* I don't even really wanna answer your question cos it seems like stealth bragging.

Says the man who reversed the stealth brag by saying king sized 'doms fit him well! haha, kudos!

Boy, Dominicans must be the saddest black people in earth. The Spanish really fucked with their minds didn't they.

Although saying that, I'm sure once they come to America and experience racism first hand, their opinions will change real quick.

As I say anytime my DR homies walk through this thread:

TELL YOUR WOMEN STOP HATING ON DARK NIGGAS, MAN.

It is a sore point for me daily walking through the BX or Washington Heights trying to speak to the gorgeous DR women and being destroyed instantly. :(

Also, welcome. :)

Finally, that Black Girls are Easy blog is the funniest thing...I've been reading it since 8PM or so...after getting my face kicked in on MVC3 for PS3 for an hour or two.

How is life in the UK? I've always loved the accent and will probably take a vaca there once the exchange rate gets a little better.

Found my pops old cowboy boots..I'm rocking them right now in his honor. He loved black cowboys

As a short man I fully endorse boot wearing! Even though I am more of a Durango guy myself.

"Classy ladies hate Hoes because we men LOVE them. You know why women say shit like, “I’m dressing like a Hoe tonight”? Because Hoes have the most fun in life. They can throw on the tightest outfit they can find; walk stank, and make your man ignore what you’re saying just to sneak a peek. And if you’re not around she’s equipped with the tools to take him from you or get in his pockets for the money he was going to spend on you. Hoes are AWESOME! A lot of guys want to be gangstas but they don’t want to bust a gun. A lot of women really want to be Hoes but they don’t want to be judged. This girl once said, “Can we get a day without hoes”. Do you know how boring that would be? Hoes are the reason we get fresh. Hoes are the reason we buy nice cars. Without hoes niggas would walk around with no haircut and rocking pajama pants. What would rappers write about? No straight man gives a fuck about a Louie Vuitton Belt? But they wear it for the Hoes. We want the biggest and brightest because Hoes are attracted to shit that glitters. Ladies like nice things, but they’re not going to fuck you off the strength of your watch—but a Hoe will drain your nut sack if you’re rocking that Mueller properly."

I damn near died laughing.

I have a couple of young ladies I'd like to send this too...but it might obstruct my ability to get the pussy on discount again (dinner and a movie) in the future. So...I'll keep it until my ability to get the pussy is over or when I don't want it anymore.
 
so fellas, something I wanted to mention yesterday after reading through the website linked in my comment above:

I'd like to blow up the idea that you can't go from the friend zone to fucking on a regular basis: you can. I did it and you can too. Keep your game tight and stay persistent. Keep offering those back rubs with nothing on. I went from being in the "friend zone" (getting called "homie and all that shit" to smashing 2x-3x a week for about 18 months. I went back to the friend zone after she moved away, but ONLY because she moved away.

I'm not saying it'll work 100% of the time, of course. But it's not necessarily "game over" when you get the 'friend zone' signs from her either. Believe that.

Usually you're in the friend zone if she's already got a guy she's seeing or just broke up with. Are you talking about when a girl is on the rebound or...? Because I feel that if you get friendzoned by a single chick when you're looking to hook up, you really need to step your game up/get some game.

This is very interesting subject you have brought up. While there are Dominicans who will indeed reject any notion that they are black, I feel there are some who do have a point. I think that many Dominicans just don't want to be associated with "black culture" in general. Its why my people keep speaking Spanish and make it a heavy point of emphasis in our households. They really want the Dominican Culture to stay strong. Same thing is seen in all Latin american nationalities, people tend to be very proud of where they come from.

But you do have a point. There are some Dominicans who will reject that they are black and there is no defending that. Most of them would argue that they are not the "black" that most people think of. Its sort of how people directly from the Negro parts of Africa will shoot you down if you call them "black". To them and Dominicans its not the same thing and they sorta have a point. That being said, I feel like Dominicans love black culture (especially Hip-hop) but they wan't to be known as separate because they love their own culture even more.

@captmcblack, I know you are of haitian decent so I find it interesting that you would refer to yourself as being just "black". I'm fairly dark skinned myself and have been called black various times. Funny thing is when I start speaking spanish the people around me usually have this confused look on their faces. Better still is the Latinos who get mad at me for not telling them that I ain't black. As far as Dominican girls hating on brothers, well that has to do with them wanting babies with fine hair... think about it and it'll all make sense.

You guys wouldn't believe how many parents became instantly more accepting of me dating their daughters once they found out I am Dominican. This is especially true in Hispanic households (looking at you Mexicans). I really isn't all that surprising to me anymore to tell you the truth. recently I had a group of white guys exclaiming that I couldn't be black because I wasn't behaving like they do. Humanity sucks some times.
 
^The way I see it, Race and Nationality are two different things. You can be Dominican, but you would still be genetically classified as "black" sort of Like how there are Arab, White and Black Africans. I think you have a point when you mention the fact that people don't want to be associated with "African American" culture, but at the end of the day, they can still be black people living in Latin America. The culture is strong within them, but they can still be black and happy about it and still be Dominican/Cuban/Brasilian and happy to be so. It doesn't have to be one or the other really.

And at the end of the day isn't that what we're here to talk about in this thread? "Black" culture? black people have managed to adapt to the culture of the environments they live in and make it their own but there are still certain elements that are retained across generations and are common to people living in Africa, America, Latin America, the middle east and so on.

Sorry if this sounds like just a bunch of rambling nonsense, but I really wanted to comment.

Dat boy Zwei here, checking in.

- Where you're from - Dallas, TX
- Where you live - Dallas, TX
- Your cultural heritage, lineage and genealogy - Dunno really. Never got much into my roots, to be honest. Looking at my schwanz, though, I can definitely tell you that I'm not West African. :/
- Do you know your roots? Nope!
- Your Age -21
- Favorite musical genre - hip-hop, pop, jazz, rock, etc.. I'm completely open-minded. If it sounds good to me, it shall go onto my iPod.
- Your profession/major/career - Retail Manager
- Your religious affiliation - Agnostic
- Hobbies - games, sports, and not much else.
- Do you feel ostracized as a black nerd/dork? Charles Barkley once said that "there's nothing sadder than a black nerd". What do you think about those words, and while we're on the issue, what is gaf's opinion on the whole "act white" thing? - Eh, I don't make apologies for who I am. I'm a black nerd, and fuck it, that's who I'll always be, so SMD. As for being ostracized, yeah, that exists. Blacks tend to find my accent off-putting, and never seem to get over it. As for 'acting white', I'm not sure what that means. I grew up in a white neighborhood and went to white schools. Most of my social interactions were with white people, so how the fuck am I supposed to 'act'?

- Where you're from: uh... born in Ivory Coast, moved to Nigeria then Ethiopia now I'm in Canada.
- Where you live: Canada QC
- Your cultural heritage, lineage and genealogy: Mother is from Rwanda, Father from Canada
- Your Age: 18
- Favorite musical genre: Rap, reggae and dancehall for fun
- Your religious affiliation: none
- Hobbies: I like to write raps from time to time, nothing serious though. Usually just do it for fun with some friends and we rap silly stuff. Other than that videogames and just chillin.

I'm guessing this has probably been asked a lot but whatever still curious, what is the general consensus on the one drop rule? It's something I'll never understand.. Are mulattos (or whatever the term you want to use) a class of their own? I mean, to the average white dude I'm black, yet it seems some black people don't see it that way. Sometimes I wonder what is black anyway, if it's a skin tone than I could say I'm far darker than a lot of african-americans. Anyway, just curious its always something I wanted to discuss but I dont know for what reason it always ends up bothering someone.

Another African, and from west Africa too. Welcome!

In regards to the one drop rule, I'm pretty sure that scientifically people who are mixed race would count as a seperate race, but really it just depends on how you identify yourself and how "black" you look. People wouldn't mistake Obama for a white guy, but you might mistake Rashida Jones for a white woman.

As far as I'm concerned its all based on how you wish to be identified, not how other people want to see you. As far as I'm concerned, someone like Barack Obama who prefers to be called black and who is very much in touch with the black people and identifies with them is very much a black person regardless of what he is genetically classified as. Someone who might have light(almost white) skin tone but who wants to be identified as black and who has black heritage would be black to me as well.

hold up now, pimpin. As I am part of GAF, I thought I'd get my feelings hurt.

Fortunately, he wasn't talkin to me. I haven't rubbed nar a foot that didn't result in some ass afterwards. In fact, I don't think I've ever rubbed feet at all. Not into that kinda thing. I'd rather not see them at all, in fact...I feel like there are more hammer toes out there than nice feet, so I'd rather not be disappointed.

That being said, I've never heard of people using Facebook and Twitter like that. A Twitter Wifey? REALLY? I agree I've seen a lot of thirsty ni...brahs leaving messages on Facebook, though. Maybe that's the way the younger generation uses those things.

Also, I don't think I've ever been in a text message argument. Probably rare. But I also don't like arguing, so maybe I could do a little more of that.

Funny story: Chick I'm talking to now flat out told me she always gets her way. sheeeeeeeeyit, not only did I cut that notion down quick-fast (I guess the guys before always placated to her whims), but now she has to call twice a day just to get a hold of me because I never pick up the first time. She's learning. It's like an episode of The Dog Whisperer.

It's funny because I was talking to a homegirl of mine about that last night. You have to put them in their place, they bitch and moan about it but love it at the same time. LMAO. I can't begin to count the number of women I've seen cheat on their b/f's because they're "too nice". It's a balance that can't be taught, you just gotta have a feel for it.

No, you are completely right and this is what I' tried to explain to some people I knew. Unfortunately, often times that desire to rep one's culture I found goes a lot deeper than that. Down to just plain racism. I am half white/black and I just identify as black, but that doesn't mean I'm not Dominican or that I am rejecting my culture. It's exactly like you said, you can be black and be Dominican. They are not mutually exclusive.

Honestly, thats one stereotype I'm pretty okay with. I'd rather be magical or some sort of amazing advice giver than...thug #307 and to be completely honest, my roll with a lot of my white friends is basically the amazing advice giver. I don't care how fucked up I am, if you're around me, I gurantee you'll never do some dumb shit. This is coming from someone who used to drink vodka straight on tabs of oxy and xanny. Yet still I maintained good grades and don't have a record. Rarely do I feel completely self-destructive.

I think the whole point that character exists in films is so as to reduce the amount of black people in the film in general. Think about Bruce Almighty for example. Morgan Freeman plays God and he's the only black guy in the movie, and he isn't in the spotlight for most of the film. I hate the idea that film and TV makers are always afraid of creating a "black product"

Man I was going to school for film. I still dream about one day having a MAJOR black main character in film or tv or comics and still be insanely popular and appeal to white audiences too.

P.S. Glad someone bumped this shit.
