Depends on my mood: Goodfellas if I'm feeling lonely. Back to the Future if I'm happy, Demolition Man if I'm angry. Lord of the Rings if I'm sad.

I went through a comic book phase and binge watched Luke Cage, The Flash, Green Arrow, Iron Fist, Black Lightening and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Then switched gears and watched Timeless, Once Upon A Time and Sleepy Hollow. Recently I finished watching Person of Interest.

Btw Game of Thrones is the best. Can't wait for season 7 to come out.

With the increase of single parents, men with multiple kids by several different women, women with several kids by multiple men, men who can't afford the child support and the women who have them locked up for it, STD's, two-thirds of marriages ending in divorce due to extra marital affairs, child sex abuse, the Catholic priests, rape, clothing getting shorter and fighter and more see through leaving nothing to the imagination....seems to me that the answer is simple.

I understand that "sex sells" but self-respect is priceless. Why should a man buy the cow when everyone else has already drunk the milk?

To be cliche, its all good. But Middle East is not a continent. It is on the Continent of Africa, although our census does make a continental distinction of 'white' as having north African, or middle eastern ancestry for some reason.

In my own ancestry (mother side only, my father did not do a similar review of his ancestry, but he was definitely an african american), we have ancestors from several continents which INCLUDE Africa. But on this continent and country, we have never been treated or seen as anything other than having ancestry from Africa, or 'black', and I was raised to be fine embracing and identifying with what my ancestors on this continent went through and endured.


I believe it is a good thing we still document race, because it is the only way to record and document potential RACISM which is a historical mainstay in this country.

some have issue with 'black' and some do not. I personally prefer African American. My skin is nowhere nhe color of "black' nor do I take pride in things I have nothing to do with. But everyone has their own thing. And it is still good that we can choose to identify ourselves however we wish in this country.




Sorry to bust your bubble but the Middle East is not all in Africa. Only one small part of it is. Most of it is in Asia and some of it is in Europe. My genealogy traces to Isreal which is on the continent of Asia. But if I were to claim "Asian American" status, you would say I was wrong. Just like when a white Afrikkan moves here and claims American citizenship but says they are African American, technically they are correct, but are told no because their skin is not black???

This whole system is skewed. Again, people need to be comfortable in their skin. Their is no skin color on this planet that is truly "black" like coal or truly "white" like paper. Native Americans in times past were labeled "red". People of Asian decent "yellow". If you really look at a color wheel no skin color is an exact match to any Of a those titles.

The only reason the color names became an issue is because people became offended with being labeled by a color. Well guess what? Mislabeling is turning out to be an even worse issue.

Love? Who said anything about love? Right now I'll settle for a good friend I can trust to hang out with. I tried the "love" thing and guys start acting weird when that word gets involved. As long as you're friends, everything is copasetic. So friends it is! :blush::blush::blush:

Interesting profile. Name one thing you like to have fun doing and you'll be good to go.

Good luck in your search on that side of the Big Pond.

Death. Because in dying you have satisfied your purpose in life. Purposes aren't always positive. We are all just pieces of a big puzzle with our parts to play no matter how long or short, good or bad.

Census, voter registration, dmv, job applications, federal income taxes, state tax forms, medical forms, school registration....anywhere you are asked to identify your race and it's in more places than you think.

Your description of classifications is accurate but based on that, I "technically" would be Middle Eastern American. I guess I'll keep check marking "other". I had no issues and still have no issues with being called "black." I've been called worse and we know there is worse out there. Until people begin being proud of the skin they are in and less concerned with what to call it, I guess we will keep having these issues.
