Why do you think that's the reason? Legit asking.

Just find it more plausible than she deleted it because of a dress that wasn't even that revealing.

She's been the topic of "doing too much" previously. Not sure why this would have been the breaking point.

I'm comparing it to Bron's zero dark 30 or whatever the ****.

 

[finessence]

Yall not talking about that NYE dress, are yall?

Plus, I think she deleted her **** cuz she's about to go hoop.

Everything about all Angel Reese public commentary is weird to me. Folks just can't be regular.

Nothing is “regular” about posting on social media. You can’t have it both ways. You can’t be a participant, and not expect ridicule or backlash. Be it civilian or public figure.

No one is putting a gun to ANYONES head and making them participate on social media. Whether YouTube, IG, FB, etc.

Your digital footprint is like your social security number at this point

If she posted videos of her training or perfecting her craft or doing family friendly stuff, no one could ever infiltrate or question her. It goes for men and women. Like if a dude posts himself drinking and smoking all the time or, posting his gang or illicit activities. Like that’s who he’d be perceived as. Folks need to learn to stop giving people power over them and it starts by not over sharing

I mean she probably gets a lot of wild stuff said to her online and like you said the convo about the girl online is wild as hell.

So I think she could have hit a final straw because there is always A final straw.

Until she starts doing that Zero Dark 360 hiatus type thing, I wouldn't automatically think that was the reason for HER.

it really be this…to an extent you gotta take the good with the bad of it

Oh so like I told you pages ago when the convo took place before, if you need to frame it as, "Something white people were right about" in an attempt to vilify/discredit the mindset do your thing.

I stand by my point.

The biggest political statement you can make is who you decide to marry and have children with.

If you want to run off with them, do your thing. Interracial couples are more likely to get divorced for a reason but hey, "Love who you love."

And thats it. Weirdo ****. Lets take black and white out of it. If a Asian dude marries an Latin woman, whats the political statement? Why we the only ones that have to adhere to politics we didn't even create. Thats wild. I have had too many good people of all different races bring me into their homes and treat me good to forsake them because of some people over. idk I have the mental and emotion fortitude to treat everyone as individuals instead of, "1, 2,3...its ERRBODY!"

 

[DCAllAfrican]

The political statement you are making (whether you admit it or not) is, "Our women aren't good enough for me to marry."

It's that simple.

YOU said we were the only ones that have to adhere to marriage politics. I never said that nor do I agree with it.

And if we are being real, Asians deal with it at a greater level than us.

Has nothing to do with what we are discussing. Please stay on topic. We aren't talking about being social, we are talking about marriage.

on some level, while i don't think it's a political statement, i can see the perspective that makes that parallel because it definitely can be of such cultural importance for many peoples....that said i don't agree that marrying outside one's ethnicity generally says anything for or against the quality of any women, granted it is sometimes stated explicitly by some men & women alike but that isn't necessarily the case across the board/generally

most people link with who the are in proximity with & for the vast majority of human history that would have been someone of the same ethnic background & for the most part it is still the case the the overwhelming majority of people still prefer & do marry folks of the same ethnicity, so it definitely isn't particular to black folk...i think its more to do with how uncommon marriage is in the black community so when someone 'steps out" it is more apparent/stands out

Yes, and intercultural (I'm expanding here on purpose) marriages tend to happen more between people who live in multicultural environments, namely large, cosmopolitan cities.

You can't want to take down the walls of segregation, and frown at interracial marriages. These are diametrically opposed positions.

tr1ll asked the logical, follow up question if we're following the logic of monocultural marriage: was the verdict of Plessy v. Ferguson correct?

Which is why I mentioned integration and it’s direct influences. My 70 year old grandparents went to all black schools, my 65 year old aunt went to slightly integrated schools, my 50+ year old parents went to fully integrated schools in the 70s and 1980s. So people who are 40 and younger now, it was completely normal by the 90s when they graduated.

I graduated in 2006 and elementary was the only time that I had all black classmates primarily. Middle and high school was white, black and Hispanic.

So imagine nowadays, especially, these preteen black boys and girls. Then, you have these catholic or charter high schools with money who recruit black kids to play sports, dudes spend a large portion of their childhood and impressionable years around white kids

I'm sure there's some nonsense he's pulling and that's why the video is edited the way it is. I've wasted too much time over the years looking into these situations and digging and finding out just exactly what the nonsense is, but after you do it enough time you see the hallmarks. Not wasting my time here at this moment on some edited video clickbait.

So this guy is a nut basically

Trump-aligned pastor targets Washoe County librarian in online video

North Carolina pastor John Amanchukwu singled out a county employee for her opposition to book bans. Experts say it’s part of a strategy to get evangelical Christians to vote for the former president.

www.kunr.org

A trump supporting nut with books to sell and a grift or two to maintain and controversy to stir and suckers to swindle. Where do these people come from? How are there so many of them that pop up for yall? On here is the only place I run into them en masse.

Aren't they and Moms for Liberty on a multi-year campaign to ban every piece of Black literature from public libraries and school curriculums?

How does that restore academic rigor? How does that improve reading and math proficiency?

Why do you ignore that these folks are using the problem of poor public education to push their pro-white/anti-black propaganda and/or finish off the dismantlement of the public school system?

It's more than a grift.

We're watching the expansion of American Christian extremist movements beyond their traditional demographics.

At the end though, just like ISIS doesn't care about Westerners who joined their movement, the ring leaders of the religious factions of the American right will not care about the contributions of their Black members beyond what they can do to advance the white supremacist cause.

I actually don't disagree with anything you are saying.

It doesn't restore academic rigor, I'm not even sure why he thought/implied it would.

 

[frshstunna]

Keep the religion outta schools, it’s enough the youngins/teachers/staff/administrations gotta deal with on a day to day without adding those folks to the mix

Figure out how to make sure students learn the basics and can critically think 1st, that’s more important ….Its crazy to see the “church and state separation” thing I grew up on just getting broken down, never was even a thought back then

Read the article Public Enemy posted. He's a Turning Point USA agent. He is based out of South Carolina, but went all the way to Nevada to harass a local librarian about "inappropriate" books. He absolutely believes that putting the Bible back in schools will improve the kids grades; and if it doesn't, at least they won't have to read about "all that woke stuff."

Yea I'm saying he is a fool for that. People like him, I would really like to sit down and hear his logic in thinking there is this magical fix for Public Schools.

I don't know why he would even think whatever he is offering to give these schools from his "speeches" would even increase academic rigor, test scores, literacy, etc. Nothing about what he is offering would change any of that.

I listened to his specials after his Chapelle Show stint.

I’m not sure how comfortable folks would be with his in your face type of humor today.
