Damn BP!
Thats F.cked up...
If that fool asked me that - I'd have to put his ass in CHECK - NO LONG TING!!
Couldn't careless who he is!
I hate what he is insinuating!!
Cant stand that shit.blkheadbang
Now I may have faith, to make mountains fall;
But If I lack love, then I am nothing at all...
I can give away everything I possess;
But if I\'m without love
Then I have no happiness...

When I read this early this evening I was shocked...but I deliberately kept away and didn't comment although I had some inital thoughts... to see what others would make of this...
This is not about Feminism, at all and how that got twisted up into this...I'll never know, I totally disgree with Rastawoman it is totally legitimate to speculate why a European would premeditately call up a brother and put a suggestion like that to him.. It is also totally legitimate to ask how anybody could haveformed the impression that Black power could be receptive to such a suggestion..the man virtually called him a pimp!!
So I'm really glad the the two burning questions that I wanted to ask was raised constructively by others...and It would be really interesting to know what BP said in response, and to know If that person is STILL his friend..because that is an important question..too
Calisto..made some very good points about the role of women, I agree with her to a point however I would disagree with the point that it is a fight for women alone..it is not...African Men & women have an equal responsiblity to fight things like this, even if our roles in how this is achieved is going to be different...
Lloydy: said he would have backhanded the dutty wretch...actually I wouldn't have..simply because it justwouldn't have occured.. I know because of how i carry myself no European colleague of mine would have DARED to call me on my phonewith such stupidness..it is Like when I was young, I know full wellwithout asking my parents that therewere certain bounderies I just couldn't cross with them..so it is when i'm at work..
Butif someone is brave enough or mad enough to cross that line..regardless, thenthere must be consequence and I don't mean beating the crap outta the git either...otherwise people will tek that for license..

DSP, I'd hate to end the'interval too early'. Have you you finished fetching your 'refreshments and beverages'? Good.Then I shall begin.
First of all did I say you were white?
NO?
Secondly do not EVER use the word 'play thing' and 'MY name ' in the same sentance. MayI remind you wea re not in one of your notorious '**** threads'. To 'level' withyou you just have to step out of '**** mode' for a few seconds.I trust despite all the things you have 'shown yourself as' you can do that'?
So brave?
Subvert your thread? I did not try and o that... and if I wanted to? "Tis to snatch candy frombaby" Ok baby?
(NB 'baby' is meant in a condscending, figurative context not sentimental or affectionate one)
By the way, where I come from to 'prove oneself' to those whom you are above would be, unecessary, ridiculous and illogical, not to mention a blatant lack of self respect and quite simply 'a waste of time'.
take care ...'snookums'.
Catch you on the flipside.

One further point after some reflection.....to Black Power directly...btw this is not about my politics or my personal views here this just about life...
Have you thought about this, if that man was able to ask you that to your face so to speak...what must he be saying when you're not there to others..what must he and your other colleagues think of you as a person.. Now you might say so what..
But what if you needed any of them to speak for you, if you were ever in a tight spot, what if some woman told lie pon you....there is the suggestion there i think that you could be guilty even if you weren't..
but even conversely what if you wanted promotion, or you wanted to set up a ting, in your place of work...and it came down to a choice of you and a someone else.. Is that the first thought you'd what to be known for in such a crucial context...
Black power, whatever you think of me personally..I will tell you hand on heart.. that perception if it exist (because it might not) is not a good one for a Black man...in fact for any man black or white to have... Think how many times have the police arrested or been prepared to arrest us on the say so of NO evidence..or people get sacked on the balance of probabilities.
so if you'll take a bit of friendly advice, you need to address that perception if it exists...and by that i mean...calmly and assuredly making it known that you aint like that...
my personal view for what it is worth..

........furthermore BP if any Caucazoid ever stepped to me with that kind of question I would have to do some serious examination of what I am projectingto make them think they could ask me.confused3
Please give that some serious thought.
For example,plenty of my friends have been asked or approached by Zoids asking "do you know where I can get some weed etc",we're Black right,of course we are supposed to know,in fact we all have suppliers,isnt that correct????
Well ive never been asked-they know not too-and even if I knew and was so inclined,id have to go through about 5 or 6 people before I even gota sniff of where to get it.
You may think this exchange was just casual and in jest
but know this.................................
THE SUBTEXT IS HUGELY DISRESPECTFUL!!!!!!!!!
