one called me up yesterday and was going hard on me. a client. these women just don't give a fuq anymore.
.in my sig is a thread on sudan. the original article starts off like this...yep they were considered freedom fighters, anti corruption crusaders, revolutionaries, misunderstood individuals. For god sake the united states refused to label boko haram a terrorist organization until recently.
There's more to traveling than just setting foot somewhere else. I think two posters at a totally unrelated thread and website said it best:
That entire thread is a good read (the columnist gave advice to three different people who had three different issues; the two posters above were responding to the advice given to an American citizen who felt held back by her Mexican boyfriend because she preferred to travel overseas but couldn't do it anymore because he's illegal and she can't travel without him. Her issue made no sense to me, but it was a big deal to her.)
Anyway, are you Jewish?
Many people here haven't traveled to foreign countries, not because of lack of desire, but because of lack of opportunity and lack of funding. The only way many people have of visiting somewhere else is via student loans for a semester, or by joining the military. I think the poster EB had a really good point about going somewhere else only to live exactly as you would have at home. If only the names have changed, then what's the difference whether you step foot in Tel Aviv or West Palm Beach?
Off topic, I wish the thread you started had an option for dividing people who visited different places because that's where Uncle Sam told them to go, versus people who visited different places because that's where family was, versus people who visited different places out of a pure desire for something different. Each experience is going to be different precisely because of why you're there. The Jamaican tourist experience isn't at all going to be like the Jamaica is where my family lives experience.
Luckily, the United States is a strange country in a good way. There are parts of the country which are completely and utterly homogenous, but there are other parts of the country which absolutely are not. Then there's living near or in sovereign land (the reservation), which is about navigating a completely different culture all by itself, whether you're non-Native and doing the tourist thing, or Native and having to code switch.
I think it was funny that you listed Montreal, Quebec and Niagara Falls... that would be like visiting Houston, New Orleans and Galveston. What's exotic to Tom is old hat to Terry. Part of the point of many of the posters to the above thread is that you don't have to diss home; being a true traveller means finding adventure in your backyard as well as elsewhere.
All that to say, yes I felt some type of way reading your post, especially since this is a predominantly black site and you apparently just outted yourself as non-white.(I mean, Argentina? Dude...)
1. i ghost write plenty of ppl's posts and threads. the jews don't like giving me credit. they hate me.Didn't see your post. My thread was made solely off Blackkings comments but if you want to take the credit, be my guest. Its not about a power trip but about seeing where peoples views come from. Your list of travels is suspiciously missing
As for your Jew privilege comment, my family was poor growing up. We were immigrants after all. Didn't get "comfortable" money until I got to college. I'm self-made and work for myself now so I worked and put in a lot of risk for my "privilege". Growing up, we were poor but when we could, my family travelled. Thats why I do it to this day. We put a high value on traveling and expanding our views/horizons.
How did they become "Africans" if they are not the descendants of Scipio Africanus?
Why do Bible scholars now admit that all dark skinned people are not children of Ham?
Could it be that many of the so-called Negroes of West African descent are from Shem and are actually from the lost tribes of Israel?
Did you know that Hausas are descendants of Ham and can't compete at high level with West Africans in combat, sprinting and sports requiring explosives movements?
Czar said:What he fails to realize is Zondervan's bible dictionary entry on Ham uses the Hamitic Hypothesis, which is a Eurocentric theory.
For those who are unfamiliar with the Hamitic Hypothesis...
Hamitic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
And here's more proof Zondervan uses it.

What's funny is, here's Zondervan's entry on Shem
Notice it doesn't say SHEM: progenitor of the Negroes?

But dude is too willfully ignorant to understand any of this.
Always hated Ashkenazis who claimed they were self-made. Everyone can be self made if they had your rules you had to win the game.Didn't see your post.
