J.Lee, As a historical reminder, the song has significance. However, I think black America (especially the youth) confuses two things: 1)The necessity of "knowing where you come from" 2)Using historical events as a crutch to excuse forward progress (But thats another topic entirely) Besides, I personally think, its not an easy song to listen to.

What is your favorite color and why? Blue - Because there's an association of clear skies, clean seas and of course the Flag What is your favorite animal and why? Cat - The ultimate survivor, and not a kiss-a$$ like dogs How would you feel if you were given everything you ever wanted? I'd feel robbed. There'd be nothing left to do and finally how would you feel if you were trapped in a room with no doors, no windows and no light? Depends, how bigs the room, and whats in it? B.T.W Aren't Sam Cooke's A Change is Gonna' Come and Billie Holiday's Strange Fruit classics? 'Change gonna come' is timeless because its relevant all the time. 'Strange fruit' is just as creepy as hell. and as much as it was an important song in its time and focused on a specific issue, I don't think it qualifies as a classic that lives on. Too much has changed.

You should have known what you were in for, but you never saw it coming. Proceed with caution next time... [Razz] That's it? a paperbag and sit in the corner? thats your big come-back? ("but you never saw it coming...Proceed with caution next time" aawww, thats cute!) And you sound like you're twelve.... I feel bad for picking on you now. Ok, I'm leaving you alone now.

Ya'll remember when Shabba was big? Mr. Loverman Then Marlon Wayans had to mess with him HAHAHAHA Maxi Priest & Shabba Maxi was good.... What about This hot back in the day.... Apache Indian - Chok There .

"Your day will come..." sounds kinda threatening. Nephthys, thats a good song though, there's a lesson for all you young lovelies... Look at the bigger picture and see that you're just a squirrel

Walking in the rain? you hearing voice now? You don't sound like the "walking in the rain" type yourself....thats for the sweeties. You seems more like a "kept in a penthouse and seen for a coupla hours every Tuesday and Thursday night" type to me.

That's sweet, Aaliyah. Good lookin' out. you're not buying into the whole grudge for the ex-wife thing, are you?

Broke people always like to think other people are broke....same way crazy people think other people need therapy. crazy world.

AAliyah, haye bas...naag matihid... Boqoraad aa tahay, Atiriisho... Shukulaatiina, nacnaciina. Wax aad utalisid Allah ha kuu sahlo: Aamin dheh! .

13K for a bag? And some of these women actually considered how they may be able to pull it off and get it (for a season or 2 before it goes out of style) Let me start my point off by saying young women have proven themselves in the work place, in the home, and in academia as being more than capable of stacking up. HOWEVER, (and I've maintained this from the get go) they've proven time and time again a serious lack of financial maturity and fiscal responsibility. In other words young women and money are like gasoline and an open flame. The new Bankrupt It said women have built up debt by fueling a high-octane lifestyle of socialising and spending on luxury goods. A 'new bankrupt' is emerging who is more likely to be female, under 30 and has not been in business before. .

KK, Most of the opinions floating around here sound like tabloid stuff... I was feeling left out so I looked up some info

I read it on some tabloid site.... but it seemed to make sense. Why? do you have some objections you'd like the discuss?

Yes it is.... Saabir, buddy you're screwed! Its OVER. No second chance for a first impression

Men prefer strident noises, hard handshakes, and red color. They are better at solving technical problems. Women have a sharper ear, they use more words while talking, and are better at completing tasks independently. Based on these biologically explained differences, some psychological distinctions between men and women can be established: - Men grasp a situation as a whole and think globally, while women think locally, relying on details and nuances. - Men are builders and creators. They take risks and experiment, while women select the most valuable knowledge and pass it over to the next generation. - Men are more independent in their thoughts and actions, while women are more willing to follow the ideas suggested by others. - Women’s self-appraisal is lower than that of men. Women tend to criticize themselves, while men are more satisfied with their own performance. - Men and women have different sources of satisfaction. For men it’s career and prosperity, while women value family and kids. - Men have a pronounced need to fulfill their goals, and women rank relationships with others first. - Men get sick twice as often as women, although women tend to be more concerned about their health. - Women endure pain and monotonous work better than men. All the above gets even more confusing, if we take into account that 15 to 20% of men happen to have a female type of brains, and about 10% of women have a male type of brains, which means that some percentage of men and women, no matter how small it seems, are partially programmed to the behavior and way of thinking of the opposite gender.

Oran "juice" Jone - The Rain Its all about the monologue at the end. Until then, you know what you gotta do? You gotta get on outta here with that alley-cat-coat-wearing, Hush Puppy-shoe-wearing crump cake I saw you with! Cause you dismissed! That's right. Silly rabbit, tricks are made for kids, don't you know that?!? You without me is like corn flakes without the milk!!! It's my world; you're just a squirrel trying to get a nut!!!

*MISPRINT*

....and sense of good breeding. Sounds like livestock. I couldn't even get past that.... We trying to start a caste system what a load of darwinistic bullcr@p. so there's a difference between Somali men and Somali Gentlemen? then more of a difference between the gentlemen and the 'fine' gentlemen? Isn't it a total waste of time to look and sound refined and yet have zero content in what you actually say? A lot of that going around these days. I'll gladly stick with my Caveman status.

Originally posted by Seekknowledge: quote:Who said Africans are Brothers? I can't believe you said that? All the problems in Africa are their own makings. No one would have enslaved them without the collaboration of their own people. And yes we are all brothers. Note not only they are our brothers in humanity but also muslims. I think your point is largely lost on this crowd. Considering we're from a Land where people who look alike, speak the same language and worship the same God have been at war with each other for over a decade, I doubt they'll worry about some dinka they've never seen before. Thats my 2 cents for the day.
