What's more, the tendency for white, middle and upper class supremacists to add milk, cream, or other lightening agent to the beverage highlights the subconscious desire to conquer the proud black color, a stealthy maneuver designed to dilute people of color.
If it doesn't say it in that article, I'll bet the claim has been made somewhere. Clown world doesn't even begin to describe this crap.
6'8", 230 lbs, 32" waist, 56" chest. The last 10 years are the first of my 50 that I didn't have 2 and 3 jobs. Camp, fish, lifelong hunter, pastimes include fixing friends' vehicles when they break and taking 300 mile trips on my scoot on a whim.
1-1/2 years before Covid-19, I started having ALL of those symptoms. Troponin levels go through the roof, ER thinks "heart attack," go in ready to put in stents and find my heart is clean, clear, lungs of a 19 YO non-smoker (I've pounded two-packs a day since I was 15). Overnight I lose my 20/20 vision and now need trifocals--and when I say "overnight," I mean overnight (but I'm told it's just my age). Tried to tell me I had cancer, but nope, negative on all. I ate fairly healthy, but I didn't keep an eye on what I was eating, really. It didn't seem to matter what I ate.
Now, 320 lbs, 44" waist, 52" chest. Can't walk to the mailbox without feeling like I worked a week of 12 hour shifts. Test says I have NEVER had Covid-19. My best days feel like a raging case of mononucleosis. I mentioned that to my doc, and he checks-- EBV antibodies now no lower than 300-450 (which is what you see when someone gets over mono, no longer active virus but antibodies still cleaning up). EBV remains high, they say there's nothing they can do.
I don't know what the guy in the article is like, but the page that's been shared could be describing me, and I sure as hell am not bucking for SSI. Just sayin', we're making a lot of assumptions here.
I'm just wondering how many of us reading this are going, "Hey, wait a minute... what the hell?"
I sure wish they would; I don't mean to denigrate anyone or their beliefs, but I've found that hypocrisy runs rampant everywhere, especially at the higher levels. It's why I stopped going to church. I can only take so much "do as I say, not as I do." Everything Romney does flies in the face of what I was taught to believe. All middle class Mormons I know feel the same way, so maybe I should have clarified that in my comment. Either he's doing things wrong or we are, one of us has misunderstood what we were taught.
I so didn't want to see what you're talking about... now that I have, I can't unsee it. My memory banks go back and start doing a "remember that?" game and... sigh. Legends start with fact, stereotypes get their genesis from verified events.
I keep looking for Rodney Dangerfield in this pic...

Naw, she prefers white meat.
