mmkay, but make sure you get a prenup!

Nope, if I trust you enough to marry you, I trust it will last and if it goes sour, we should be able to part ways like adults.

Yeah right

I don't man. If I have known more than few women in my life. If I though a woman was obnoxious I would not be with her. I don't mind a hoocjie momma or woman of lose virtue, god bless them. However someone like her I doubt I could stomach her. Self absorbed, spoiled etc.

The comment was not "do you want to marry her?"

I must be out of touch, I can't call myself the N word and laugh about it.

I wouldn't say you're out of touch...it's just your personal feelings. Personally, I choose not to empower those who are prejudice and condesending by not letting it effect me.

I think it's disgusting that a company would portray rap artists who portray themselves as gangsters, thugs, dope dealers, and treat woman with like property as

well gangsters, thugs ,dope dealers, and abusive to woman.

Now see...there's an issue...women being mistreated like property or disrespected...that's a bigger issue than racism. But...that's just my personal opinion too....

Truly disgusting.

An ad for Mountain Dew created by the founder of hip-hop group Odd Future has been pulled after critics lambasted its violent undertones and one called it ”arguably the most racist commercial in history.”

"I see racists....EVERYWHERE"

Or sometimes, all we need to do is look in the mirror.

I respect your opinion, but there's is a distinct difference. If you are a white women trying to go for a higher position at a place of employment, you might have to contend with the glass ceiling due to your gender, and will face opposition that a white male might not have to face. But if you a black person, you are going to have issues, no matter what gender you are.

Basically if you're a black female, you get to complain the most.

There are a few here that told me flat out they had to use their middle names in order to get call backs on some job offers since they have "ethnic" first ones. It's sad when you have a master's degree, years of experience and what's holding you back is your name in Tanisha.
