r u under 21?

ok now we're getting somewhere, Qoolskip speaks.

where is your evidence? what do u base this statement on? history? have u ever looked at a time when the world was not "run" by whites?

>Would it be any
>better if the whole world
>was black. NO!

what do u base this is on? history? have u ever looked @ a time when your whole world was black? define "better."

what do u base this is on? history? who are these "people" u refer to? _all_ people? how did this hate manifest itself? show me when all ppl were _kiling_ ppl b/c of their freckles, size, religion, politics. break it down, every single ppl.

read: They Came Before Columbus, Dr. Ivan Van Sertima
watch/listen to: Malcolm X tapes

have different ppl ever been able to live peacefully among one another w/o fighting/killing. I've seen plenty a time when Christians and Muslims have been able to live peacefully, b4 alien intervention. but that's more recent. take me back and forward Qoolskip.

Its all "silly" and

>So lets stop the White Ppl
>this Black Ppl that syndrome
>and LOVE each other like
>GOD wants us to do.

i understand what u are saying Qoolskip. Universal Love is a wonderful thing and something for us all to strive to. But tell me, what would u tell a woman in an abusive relationship? if she leaves the man, if she tells other ppl "this is what this an has done" if she warns other ppl of this mans behaviour, is she wrong? does she "hate" him? should she not "point the finger @ him?" should she demand respect from him? or should she stay and show her "love?"

>Show some LOVE.

that's all i got 4 u man.
