    Going bald, embrace it or try to save it?

    The options to save hair, especially for men, are minimal at this point. A lot of them are more favored for white hair as well. They have more options. Most black men can pull off a bald head nicely like you said, so I just say embrace it at this point.

    Trump, Biden or someone else as president instead?

    I think we need to get someone who is a modderate in office. The demoRATS don't do anything for black communities, that much is clear. Can't say the other side does anything either. They just tell the other side no. What is the point?

    Outdoor Pests

    I was just trying to enjoy some time outside for a while. Get some summer in before it is gone. I had no idea there was a huge wasps nest on the side of my house and these little satanic flying pieces of filth started going after me for no reason. Now I don't even want to leave my house LOL Do...

    My Biggest Gripe w/Nas KD 2

    There is a message, I mean for me anyways. I hear the point of each track but it is different from the music he made a good 10+ years ago, I know that much. It is almost like he blended mumble with his own style. What track do you like the most on the album? For me it is probably 40 Side.

    What was your first ever date like? Let's hear some stories. :D

    I don't recall what age I was but I wouldn't classify it as a date. It was kind of one of those things where you get approached as told you are so and so's boyfriend/girlfriend and that was the end of it. Went to a pool part the same day and by the end of the day, she was someone else's...

    What were you doing on 9/11?

    I was in health class. I can't remember what grade it was. I just remember the announcement, my teacher putting on the TV, and damn near in tears at what she was seeing. We were allowed to go home that day so I went home. I ended up meeting up with my cousin. I really didn't think anything of...

    Countries you'd like to travel to, and those you'd like to move to

    I don't know if I would want to live anywhere else but traveling is another story. I always wanted to go to the Virgin Islands. Ever since I was little, I was fascinated with islands and these ones stood out to me the most. Just looking at pictures and video footage, they don't seem real.

    Being judged as a group and not an individual?

    In my area, I have seen it but again you are right to not paint the entire canvas based on a small group. I do my best not to do this but I slip up now and then. I guess it would be fairer to say this is an issue within gangs and toxic families. Where they don't want others to succeed if they can't.

    Girls (and guys too), how did the lack of representation affect you while you were growing up?

    I was raised in a way not to think of skin color. It helped me in some ways and hindered me in other ways. If I wanted to be Spiderman or something for Halloween, that is what I would be. I didn't care Peter Parker was white. I come from a mixed family though so within my family, it was a...

    Being judged as a group and not an individual?

    I get what you are saying. There is a legit case for using the term but people these days call any black man looking to leave the ghetto an uncle tom. Like bro, wanting a better life doesn't make you a self-hating black man. The whole entrapment of what it means to be black in America is just...

    So wait... Now we have to pay Bezos?

    I heard about this. They will pay you decent but they overwork you and ignore any issues you have. A friends' brother works for them as a delivery driver and he said that there are a few people who don't even do what they are supposed to and get paid while everyone else has to pick up the...

    This is the worst "compliment"

    I see this kind of crap with all races though, not just white dudes. I mean if you find someone attractive, just let it be known. Don't need to drag race into it. When someone does that, to me it just shows they are not confident in themselves to handle being with someone who doesn't look like them.

    What are some things you do to pamper yourself?

    Something I like to do is get a good massage. I started getting them when I had a back injury, my chiropractor recommended them so now I like to go at least once a month for one. I also sleep in on the weekends. I think letting myself get that extra sleep helps recharge me for the week.

    Trump, Biden or someone else as president instead?

    Trump wasn't the brightest dude and easily got manipulated but that didn't shock me. He had no experience in politics and it was all about manipulation and power grabs. He did some pretty good things for the country, some of which was by accident imo. Either way, I am not a fan of the dude but I...

    So wait... Now we have to pay Bezos?

    I saw a news story about this dude getting a 10 billion dollar bailout for his space firm the very same day he bought that James Bond studio for almost 9 billion. So you mean to tell me the government is about to use our money to bail out some rich dude while he spends even more money on...

    Do you go to church often? Or not anymore?

    I grew up going to church. I believe in God but I have not been to a church since my teen years. I stopped going because of people, not because of God. I got sick of the whole notion that you can be a piece of crap but going to church on Sunday made you a better person. You go around treating...

    Confirmed: Stop Asian Hate was a Farce

    I knew this was a joke. They always use race and social issues to get what they want. You ever notice that? When they want to take away our freedoms or get more money out of us, suddenly a problem emerges and they get brainwashed liberals to fight for what they want or need. So sick of this crap.

    Being judged as a group and not an individual?

    That is the thing like there is always something telling us that we need to have issues with each other on top of people assuming things based on the color of our skin. It pisses me off. Like the whole "uncle tom" thing. Who the hell started that? If you want to be a successful black man and...

    Being judged as a group and not an individual?

    Black folks in America tend to be judged based on others, not based on our own accountability. This is a problem. It isn't right or fair to be judged by someone else's actions simply because we share the same skin color. I do my best to not judge other people based on one common denominator...

    What's your diet like? Mine is garbage as of late

    Yes. lol I am spending an average of like $35 a week for takeout right now. That is damn near $150 a month. Considering my grocery shopping averages about $250 a month, that is too damn high. It doesn't help that the prices seem to keep going up too.
