  The racial term 'black' has become sooo diluted

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  i always understood the term 'black' (or 'black', if you write for the guardian) to refer to sub-saharan africans or people of sub-saharan african origin.. but, perhaps in a rush to embrace victimhood, more and more people are today are using the term black to refer to other people.. so, apparently barack obama is black - 'the first black president of the united states'.. and lewis hamilton is supposedly the only black driver in formula one.. and jordan peele is a black film director, apparently.. and then there's meghan markle.. there may also be people of pakistani heritage who refer to themselves as black.. and, sorry to say, it's all a load of bullsh*t.. barack obama, lewis hamilton, jordan peel, halle berry and meghan markle are all biracial (mixed-race).

  they're not black.

  disregarding the other half of their ethnic heritage is intellectually dishonest.. .

  Some racist folks have always understood that one drop of "non-white blood" makes a person "not Caucasian" - strange, then, that people calling Obama 'black' are seemingly aligning themselves with the racist folks.

  I always understood the term 'black' (or 'Black', if you write for The Guardian) to refer to sub-Saharan Africans or people of sub-Saharan African origin.

  But, perhaps in a rush to embrace victimhood, more and more people are today are using the term black to refer to other people.

  So, apparently Barack Obama is black - 'the first black President of the United States'.

  And Lewis Hamilton is supposedly the only black driver in Formula One.

  And Jordan Peele is a black film director, apparently.

  And then there's Meghan Markle.

  There may also be people of Pakistani heritage who refer to themselves as black.

  And, sorry to say, it's all a load of bullsh*t.

  Barack Obama, Lewis Hamilton, Jordan Peel, Halle Berry and Meghan Markle are all biracial (mixed-race). They're not black. Disregarding the other half of their ethnic heritage is intellectually dishonest.

  
  

  ^^^ This is a black person.

  
  

  ^^^ And this is a biracial person, half white and half black.

  Not difficult, is it?

  Languages, Dialects, Accents

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  just though i'd start a thread devoted to languages, dialects/sociolects and accents, with the idea being that posters can comment on any language, or dialect or accent of any language, on this thread.. any phrases, expressions or idioms that you find interesting are also welcome.

  first, the subject of english accents came up on another thread.. the british isles have many different types of accent (although many of the dialects may be dying out), and if i start to take a closer look, i can't help but see 'patterns' .... in received pronunciation of standard english, the letter r is pronounced initially, between vowels, and after consonants, e.g.

  red, arrow, break.

  The hardest Arabic letter for me to pronounce is the letter 3ayn.

  
  

  It's a pain in the ass because it's so common in Arabic.

  Here's an excellent video instructing students how to pronounce it …

  Liberal vs. Conservative mental health study - what do you make of it?

  by Brock Talon in

  1. social
  2. current

  a pew study from 2020 (but one i just now came upon myself) reported that the more liberal you are, the more likely you are to have a mental health condition.

  the worst suffering group are white females, ages 18-29 where over 56% have admitted to be described by their own doctors as having a mental health condition.

  conservative females of the same age group suffer at less than half that number (27%).. while women tend to have more mental health problems than men (don't be mad at me for saying it, this is what the study reports) it is notable that liberal men have a higher percentage of mental health conditions than conservative women in the same age group.

  Update:
  

  AOC has rejected the $100,000 raised by the Go Fund Me account.

  Well done AOC, I guess all those conservative dollars are bigoted and racist.

  What Is Truth?

  by minimus in

  just because you believe something as truth, it doesn’t make it truth.

  religious leaders may be admired and believed but they could be dead wrong.

  politicians can spout out “facts” that support their truth yet once further evidence comes through these facts are questionable.

  Truth is objective reality.

  E.g. I can accept the existence of gravity or not, but if I jump off Beachy Head only one thing's gonna happen, lol.

  Why did Lloyd Evans say in one of his latest video

  by mickbobcat in

  1. social
  2. current

  so i was watching an evans video he just put out where he was interviewing a man about how the cult treated his daughter who was rapped as a criminal.

  the man said his wife's first experience with an apostate site was here.

  i could tell by the look on his face he did not like that site and then could not help himself and said that he could not recommend going to this site.

  @mickbobcat - Lloyd Evans may make good youtube videos but on this forum as 'Cedars' he was insufferable.

  The AAWA issues blew up a year before I joined but I remember reading some threads as a lurker and I've just spent some time reading old threads to see what the fuss was about.

  And Cedars was simply insufferable, there's no other way of describing him. Simon and other posters (e.g. SlimBoyFat, rebel8, etc.) tried to engage with him, all to no avail.

  I think he genuinely believed the crap he posted in defence of his serious mistakes. He possibly might be a deluded individual that may need professional counselling or similar treatment.

  @PistolPete - yes, I saw this video earlier on today.

  AOC earns a good wage and didn't even think to help her abuela out.

  Along come some conservative pundits and raise $100K for AOC's grandmama - hilarious!
