Haha. He doesn't believe in superstition from people thousands of years ago. So close-minded.

"What is white America going to do WHEN it does happen?"

White America legally owns millions of firearms. I'm not advocating racism but helter-skelter is just a ridiculous position to advocate.

When I would make excuses my mother used to tell me "If frogs had wings they wouldn't bump their asses when they hop."

I don't think his statement is true, I'd need to see some numbers on interracial relationships before I believed it, but if I were to hazard a cause for the possible scenario I would say media portrayal. You very rarely see white men and black women together in movies and television.

You probably don't understand how the website works. There is a stickied post with some info for new users.

You're welcome. Make sure you click "update" after you pick your style. I didn't notice that for a while and just assumed the style didn't work on mobile.

Go to your profile settings and check out the "style" section.

I was going to create a place like that but then I started learning to play guitar : )

Edit - Jokes. Sorry.

I agree with you. I don't really like hanging out in groups where people go to vent or constantly rant about negative things.

Should we help? Probably, because we helped to cause the instability and because it would be in our interest to have a stable ally in the region. The only downside is that it would take a massive amount of resources and decades, if it's even possible to stabilize Iraq.

I don't know that we can, unless we are prepared to maintain a permanent presence in Iraq.
