You cannot "call me out", such a notion is laughable. You are right about avoiding your supposedly open, safe place for Blacks to engage in constructive dialogue.

I already stated that I disliked the lower class Boston accent. I also dislike "axe" instead of "ask". I never said that anyone should cut their hair, your assertion was a complete strawman. However, adopting a conservative style of grooming might work for those who seek to excel in a...

I bought a Victorian three flat building some years ago in San Francisco. I kept the top three bedroom unit empty for two years because I planned to eventually move from my building in Berkeley. It is much less stress to have the predictable expense of a vacant unit than it is to deal with...

The new plantation is the metaverse. Point: you cannot rent this house for enough money to make it economically viable. In this market the buyer would likely rent it to cover taxes to a relative, or keep it vacant and just benefit from appreciation.

Once you get involved with real estate it will become evident that buying high cost properties makes it difficult to generate positive cash flow from renting them out. The attached is a junker house on the wrong idea of town in Vancouver. It is also on a busy street. This gives you an idea...

Vancouver is about one third Asian, and has been since the Hong Kong handover in the 90s. We moved out of the city about twenty years ago and live in a rural area about 45 minutes from a city, ten minutes from the ocean. The environment is more like the video clip posted.

Africans have been sabotaged by colonialism. The US provides a better infrastructure for success than most countries. No one is blocked from STEM education. There are countless free classes online.

Both conditions are similar enough. You are over reaching a bit; My comment is that speaking standard English is an important component to the skills needed to advance in society, generally speaking. I agree that we are sabotaged. That is too sweeping a generalizations for me.

Blackrock is not active in this market. Our source of inflation is financial retirees.

I live in BC. On the coast. The cost of housing has appreciated 40% during the last two years and contractors are booked over a year in advance in most cases. There is no recession here . Literally every business has a help wanted sign. The issue here is inflation. Using my rib-eye steak...

I agree. Thank you for admitting that this observation is accurate in your experience also. The best and brightest make their way into the US and benefit from the superior infrastructure and opportunities. White friends of mine who went to Andover, and other private schools before progressing...

You might have a blind spot when it comes to accepting the failures of Black Americans that occurred from the seventies onward. I will not repeat them here, but they must be honestly recognized. The dynamics of colonialism were different from the dynamics of American slavery. It seems short...

The cogent points from the clip: 1. African students are advised to avoid stereotypical inner city Black culture. 2. Belief in white supremacy persists.
