is she really? I don't see that in her wiki bio. I see Indian - Trinidad roots.Lebron said:
but I'll take your word for it.
btw, I like her real last name much more than "Minaj". Maraj (pronounced "Mirage", i assume) sounds much cooler. less like you're hoping someone attached a sexual connotation to your personhood.

On another note, is Black Christian GAF aware that the Sabbath is not Sunday, but rather Saturday? And that Sunday worship dates back to the ancient Babylonian worship of the sun?

Even if it is technically true, you don't want a phalanx of old black women in big-ass hats trying to drop your casket that Sunday, bro.
Also, I think this blasian stop-and-stare thing is law or something.
When I was 18, me and my boy (also 18) were walking in East Flatbush, Brooklyn from a Staples (by Tilden and Flatbush) carrying a box with an office chair he bought for his room. We saw this blasian chick - about 5 foot 10 inches tall, slender with the clearest skin, epic titties out of a low-cut blouse, curvy hips you could drift around and crash on, this wavy golden brown afro and these eyes that I can't even explain - and we got stuck staring at her so, so hard that:
- my boy stopped short and stumbled on the curb
- I walked right into the lamppost/street sign post on the crosswalk corner and broke my glasses...which then caused us to spin around and swing the box into the sidewalk.
The woman was amongst a bunch of people that laughed at us.
I took a bow and laughed too. I don't give a fuck; that was probably the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen to that date...and if there was a way I could extract the image from my brain right now, I'd wager she's probably still up there in the rankings too.
Black x Asian is a hell of a mix.

As far as I'm concerned, America is my motherland. Also, I have no idea where my ancestors came from.

My motherland is Haiti - and I've been there before.
I'd love to go to Africa, though - I've dated a Kenyan girl before (bitch was crazy/possessive, but she took a dick like a champ) and an Ethiopian girl (she thought that I should be honored to breathe the same air in the same space as her, lol) before and they used to tell me stories about how awesome Africa is...so I'm curious.

And because I worked out so much when I was younger, if I go a while without any kind of athletic activity and then try and hop back into the gym, I get crippling headaches.
My brother went back last year. Africa, has some of the nicest people.captmcblack said:
And I might, inevitably have to too ( if am 25 and I still haven't settled down. lol).
Only the strongest of us can turn down a marriage proposal by a somali girl ( really, i gotta say, she was pretty damn hot. I think I still have the picture somewhere here....). All I have to do is call the number, agree to the thing..and I'm set. But I won't. For some reason, I can't.
I might cave though.

Thoughts? I know with my parents and my Uncle they're seen as the "sellouts" in the family since they made it out the hood and are living in the suburbs. A few of my cousins get on us too about it, like we should feel bad we were born in the suburbs or something. I'm like, what the flipping fuck, hah. There seems to be some mindset that if you make it out of the hood you're a sellout, or if you make it out and don't comeback often or some shit. Anyone else had experience with this?

Depends on the type.Himuro said:
We don't really have arranged marriages in our culture ( as in, you are to be wed to someone from the moment you're born). Neither can there be a marriage without the consent of both parties involved.
So I'm pretty much on a no-no. And most African countries are like this.
However, the family tends to steer you in a direction. You'll have your parents sometimes tell you of a certain girl they know or your cousin will tell you she wants to hook you up with a friend of hers ( while your parents are secretly behind it all!).
A have a Bengali friend, her parents don't even want her to study, and have already arranged her for marriage to someone. That's asian culture. Poor girl started going on about how African Muslims tend to be more liberal in things (though this is generally true) or as she put it "the perfect mix of culture and religion". Forced marriage is forbidden in Islam by the way. It's just that in some countries, the culture dominates the religion.

This is some cheat code shit. I like my women top-heavy, so she's already an A+
I think it depends on where you are, I hate the hood because you can always tell when you hit that shit. Streets get rockier, you start to see mini-marts with rims, DVD guy and his blanket, the busted-ass chinese food (hit or miss), etc We live in a better area now, not going back. We both want a house with a yard, where you must drive miles to see a 7-11.
Of course, women skew all this. Once dated a girl who lived off Crenshaw, straight hood, even though she was worth it in spades--got eyed pretty hard the first 3 times I came to get her. Same with a gorgeous latina that lived in LB.
I know that suburbs can be fake, but the quietness is what I appreciate more.
Different story, how many times you go to see the hot movie and have it ruined?
Fox Hills, I remember going to see a movie with a friend of mine there (he had no idea what he was getting into), and listening to a full 2 hours of shouts at the screen and babies crying and sheer stupidity. I was laughing so hard--that was the last time we went to that theater.

I don't go to church anymore. Instead of going to a church and disrupting their service I'd just set up my own makeshift camp somewhere and teach.

On a serious note, if you ain't ready to die for the truth (or whatever is it you believe in) then you ain't fit to live. Christ and many of his disciples were put to death and I'm no greater than them. Too many dudes is soft these days and letting women hen-peck them, it's damned shame. That's not a dig at any of you btw, but I see it all the time in my day to day. smh
Veidt, are you Ethiopian?

I know I will get flamed but I don't find homegirl appealing. Sure she has boobs and I love the asian + black mix but something about her doesn't sit right about me, I dunno.Lebron said:
And as far as going to my motherland, I've been to Haiti 3 times in my life. I'd like to go to Africa someday too.

How to prepare yourself?
Music-wise: Get acquainted with British hiphop and grime: thats what all the clubs will be playing.
People-wise: People will be friendly. Exaggerate your accent and the friendliness will increase, just be careful with how you get charged for food. A couple of relatives have dropped too much money when buying food or the touristy stuff. Haggle your brains out, because they'll try and pull a fast one on you.

I've not experienced that, no.Lebron said:
Fortunately, most of my family 'made it out' before the stigma really took root. There's still a lot of old thinking in some parts of my family though. I told one of my aunts that I was out of school, looking for an internship and she immediately went to old Jimmy about working some crops for a few months. I wanted to slap her... In high school, I got a lot more of it as an individual though.
Just got back from helping out my grandmother at the polls this evening. This divide between generations is just tiresome for me now. Of course I'd be the only young black male there and I would be even dumber by showing up wearing this army shirt so every angle there was to pitch was pitched at me. This one old woman (had to be in her 80s), black, pulled me aside twice to tell me how happy she was to see me in the community helping out blah blah blah I have a daughter who has plenty of other daughters (Yeah, I said wtf. She just tried to put ALL of her clan on me at once) but then she went on about getting me a job until I deployed. Laughed it off... just glad she wasn't one of those aggressive, persistent old folks.
Voting was at a middle school so I was stuck around some of the kids, girls basketball practice just got out... holy fuck, raise your fucking kids, the last thing I want to hear while eating my food is a bunch of 14 yr old girls talking about which boy in gym class has the biggest dick and head game.
I want to help out a little more in the community out here, but I'm already getting more and more second thoughts about it. I've already been soured to 'helping out' after my experiences with volunteer work out in Charlotte. I really just want to lay low and be outta here.

About the community, It's great work for those who can take it, but I am not one of them on the grassroots level.
