    Lol you spoke some truth. Women of all ages I think have this attraction to alpha personalities. Drug dealers give off that vibe. Women feel like those come off like bad ##### can protect them the best. The reality is, many alphas talk loudly. They really don't know how to get their way outside of the use of force. Our society rewards perceived alphas heavily. The funny thing is, many women feel the most protected when guys get in fights, or has a willingness to put a cap in someone's ###. In reality, the true alpha, or better yet, a sigma, knows that the best way to protect a woman is to avoid a conflict altogether. Those guys that aren't the bad boys, I agree, they definitely have to wait 10 years, or they have to learn how to evaluate women better. Maybe they shouldn't seek the superficial, or the one that watches too much TV. He'd have to find the woman that has a good grasp of how the world is around her, down to earth type.

    So, as long as the media portrays black peoples as fool, it’s okay, correct?

    I wonder why so many black people are offended by Stepin Fetchit, the very first black millionaire actor. Hmmmm.

    The media is one thing. Sitcoms and movies are entertainment. The latter, I take it in stride. That's just me and my opinion on the matter. As long as it doesn't get too egregious, it's ok. I can take a little humor. You can make fun of stereotypes without having to be offensive.

    The media, social or news, oftentimes overpush narratives, and it has the biggest influence in our society. Sometimes speaking untruths. Where my issue lies, is when I can sense one is prejudiced, racist, or unwilling to try to understand a culture other than his/her own. That goes beyond stereotypes, and falls more into the category of unbridled hate. It doesn't matter who you are or what color you are, if you have those traits in your character, I will not tolerate that in my life.

    As for Stepin Fetchit, much of his comedy did echo negative stereotypes, but perhaps his comedy was ill-timed. Blacks were having difficulties, to say the least, in gaining equality, so to make fun of those negative stereotypes when they're already going through a lot of negativity, and viewed negatively by whites may have not gone over well. Sometimes timing is everything when cracking a joke. I know I am not a fan of ill-timed humor. I really can't say for sure, as I'm only speculating.

    So when the media shows black people behaving poorly, that’s okay because it’s made up. But when black people copy what they learn from the media, and a white person calls it out as bad behavior, you get offended. Gotcha.

    Did you like Bait Car? Or was bringing an Escalade into the hood with the keys in the ignition offensive. I mean, we shouldn’t expect people not to steal, should we?

    Memphis is one of the blackest cities in America. So it is a safe bet it was black youths that broke into that trailer. If the same trailer was broken into in Laredo it was probably done my Mexicans. If it was Knoxville? Well that was probably white folks.

    He didn’t say all blacks are thieves. Stop pretending to be offended by what wasn’t there. And stereotypes are not just manufactured. The stereotype of a trucker wandering around with a headset are because a lot of y’all be doing that silly ####.

    I'll get us back on track......consider this......

    How often? On average, the body produces approximately two liters of flatus (the technical name for intestinal gas) daily, and people pass gas about 14 times a day.
    You don't say? Facts about flatulence - Harvard Health

    Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
