Do you think schools teach enough on black history?

I feel as if schools don't do enough to teach people about black history. I feel like kids these days, aren't taught all the depressing details of the civil rights movement, slavery, hate and more. Do you think schools should do more to include the truths of our past? I know they teach some aspects, but I feel like they overlook a lot of it.

Makes me wonder what schools in white dominated areas taught their kids. I could see many going the route of teaching very little.

Owning a house before meeting the right person?

I mentioned in a few other threads that I plan on buying a house next year. Assuming I get enough debts paid off, I can swing it on my wages. I am looking at getting a raise as well within the next 6 months. I was thinking about this though. Like I am going to be a single homeowner. What would be the best approach when I meet a guy in terms of our housing situations. Like do I invite him into my house and put him on the house as an owner with me? This is after marriage, not before. I feel like if I keep the house in my name, it will be protecting it as an asset but I know once I start having kids, I am not going to want to work. I want to focus on being a mother so he'd have to take over paying it. Or what if he owns a house himself?

Do you have a 5-year plan?

I feel like once you hit your 20s, having a 5-year plan is a good idea. It helps you establish goals for yourself and see growth and where you need to work on your life. I am curious to see if anyone here has a 5-year plan currently. For me - I am looking to pay off some debts, buy a house, and then focus on the next chapter of my life which would be finding a partner to raise a family with. I don't want to wait too long for that. I am approaching 30 and I'd like to be done having kids before the age of 38. I got time but I know a lot of it will be spent finding a partner, unless I luck out.

If they take Chappelle off Netflix, he'll release his specials himself

It seems more backlash has come due to Chappelle's recent comedy special. Over 100 people walked out of the Netflix offices in protest of the special. Honestly, if this results in his special being removed, I hope he releases it online somewhere else, or even for free in spite of all of them. I bet Chappelle could easily fund his own releases if he wants to. I think that is what he will do if he gets "Cancelled" by Netflix and everyone complaining about his comedy.

It's sad that people have to take things away from others because it hurts their feelings. Here's an idea, make your own comedy that makes fun of the hate you receive. Make your own comedy routines. Don't try to push people out because you are offended by their opinions. I think that makes someone look worse, because it feels like they're actively trying to kill comedy. Offensive comedy exists for a reason.

Unarmed man shot 8 times by police files $26 million lawsuit


Hope he wins the lawsuit.. From what the article states, it sounds like Isiah Brown was on the phone with a 911 dispatcher at the time the police came by. They thought his phone was a gun, and shot him up to 10 times (guessing a couple missed maybe?). He survived the shooting and is suing the police station responsible, for $26 million.

That's excessive force if anything. He was shot 8 times. Who would need to be shot 8 times to be taken down? It's so confusing to me. And on top of this all, the police found that the shooting wasn't justified, in fact, Isiah Brown was in the right.

I hope he wins. I think when you have clear cut cases like this, it should be an easy win.

Would you be a stay at home father?

Would you ever be a stay at home father? Instead of you working, your wife may be working, would you be into a relationship like that? Or would you prefer the other way around?

Honestly, I would be a stay at home father if my girlfriend was making more than enough. Just like I would be cool with her staying home if I was making enough. But, I'm all for her wanting to work as well. But for me, I would be a stay at home father. And I think the main reason why, is because us men don't tend to get a whole lot of time with our kids. Mothers are often the ones taking care of the kids, but we can take care of our own as well I think and I think it'd be fun to be a stay at home dad, just to spend the time with my kids and mold them into great kids and great adults. I like the idea of helping mold my future kids into good people.

Plus, it doesn't mean I can't work. I could also find work online.

Black child arrested for drawing

I've always felt that black kids should only be taught by black teachers, here's another reason why I've always felt like this.
In my life time I've had 2 black teachers throughout my schooling, grade, high and some college. The 2 black teachers I had were in my grade school. My gym teacher and my social studies teacher. That's it.

Xbox Series X Fridges sell out due to scalper bots

Well I kinda figured this would happen. Microsoft announced that on October 19th (today) that they will be releasing an Xbox themed mini-fridge for $99.99. Well it looks like bots were able to purchase up a ton of the fridges and now we're going to see them plastered all over ebay and other sites for a ton. Kinda sucky, because this is going to be the future of any new gaming items released. $99.99 was a bit pricey as it was, but now they're going for double or triple on Ebay.
