3 counties in Texas have run out of ICU beds.

So my black friend is racist because he believes that the American black man doesn't take enough advantage of the educational oppotunities within the United States.  That racist bastard!

I didn't say he either was or wasn't. I said that being Black doesn't mean you're not.

I don't want to bother discussing the statement he made, but I very very much doubt he's informed enough to make it. Given that he hangs around you and all, I doubt that he's in the top 70% intellectually. You've shown us repeatedly that you're kind of dense and prefer the company of others who think like you.

Dom owns two homes in Tanzania, one of which houses the German United Nations teams which he rents to them.  Infinity pool, and so on.  He recently sold his third home to pay college expenses for his three kids.  His father was a mechanical engineer.........just like my father.  His oldest boy is a fourth year Purdue student on his way to his doctorate degree in pharmacy.  Dom knows more about what's going politically within the US than most of us, and what's going on internationally than all of us.

His son more than occasionally catches shit from other black men his age because he apparently talks and dresses like a white man.  You know………his jeans are above his ass, no dreads, no dew rags, no Ebonics.

That is one major problem within the black community.  If you become educated, you're not black enough.

Dom prepared for life and is retired.

Then why does he hang around a thickheaded racist like you?

Because those who prepare for life enjoy each other's company, and those who didn't prepare for like enjoy each other's company.

Huh?

I suggest that you put the bottle down for a bit...
