allhiphop.com: what scares you the most?.

omarion: i am not afraid of anything.

I don't need an education on how Blacks relate to each other. Any Black person that doesn't talk ghetto has been told they talk White or talk "proper" (in my case, mostly by White people). I am Black, I know how things are. Also, I have never had a Black person disparage me for thinking critically which was what CRR's first post said. I grew up in a poorer Black neighborhood and have been around judgmental, ignorant people. I do not, however believe that Black culture, in general, is disparaging towards critical thinking or getting educated. If it was, why are Black woman having the biggest gains in college enrollment? Not without support. Things are changing, minds are changing. Including Black ones!

"Talking White" was not the issue I was addressing. Plenty of "White talking" Black folks don't get educated and plenty of Blacks with negro accents have PhDs.

Does Anyone Miss Being In The Jehovah's Witness Cult?

i saw 6 jw zombies walking up a hill near where i live the other day.

they all were dressed nicely.

they walked together in twos.

FreudianSlip

I miss the certainty I had being in the cult. I was certain that I would live forever. I was certain there was a God. I was certain that my parent's love was unconditional. Now I only have an endless list of epistemological and cosmological questions that often make me anxious and depressed.

Should The Police Be Able To Search Without A Warrant?

for example, if you were stopped for suspiscion of driving under the influence, should the police be allowed to search through your cell phone?.

"Where exactly, would you have it reworked?"

Are you asking for the specific Longitudinal/Latitudinal location?

"It's not simple to add Amendments. It's damn near impossible to add them. That was done on purpose by our Founding Fathers."

I never said, nor implied, that amending the U.S. Constitution is simple. The Amendments are pretty few and far between in the big scheme of things. Still, we shouldn't limit ourselves to only doing simple things, especially for the country's sake, should we?

"Rubbish. They authors weren't trying to think "Progressively""

Progressive is defined as: favoring or advocating progress, change, improvement, or reform, as opposed to wishing to maintain things as they are, esp.in political matters.

Of course they were being progressive. They didn't simply say, the King has all the power. Part of the reason the Constitution has withstood the test of time was because it's authors were trying to create a document that would take the future into account. They learned from the past and tried to anticipate the future. It's why they put in checks and balances, it's why they laid out a way to amend it. This is progressive thinking at its best. Still, after hundreds of years a document can become antiquated and should be revisited.

"The Constitution was written mostly to protect the people from Governmental tyranny, not to solve day-to-day problems. Do you even know your history?"

I didn't say otherwise. You don't even know what my specific issues are with the Constitution. I never said anything about it attempting to address day-to-day problems. You are guilty of a straw man argument. You have ignored my actual position and substituted it was a misrepresntation or assumption.

"critical thinkers are seen as being "too white thinking""

That hasn't been my experience. I have never gotten anything but praise from other Blacks about getting an education. Who are you hanging around with?

"Can anyone seriously argue that the 4th and 5th Amendments were written and enacted for the sole purpose of protecting only criminals? I'd like to see someone argue THAT one."

Not that I disagree with you, but our Constitution needs to be reworked. Simply adding Amendments isn't the answer. As hard as the authors tried to think progressively, they weren't able to think of everything and too many things have multiple interpretations.

Question for Christians

do i have to love god to get into the good place?

let's assume i believe and follow all of the rules out of obligation and not love, is that enough?.

FreudianSlip

Ynot-

Duh, thanks.

Is there more-

If there is a god, I don't know that he loves me. Also, just because someone loves me, doesn't mean I should love them.

Robdar-

I know, but some people don't give what they have the capabilities to give.

JD-

It's not a pride thing, it's a reciprocity thing. I made efforts for years, why should it remain on me? I understand I can't force him to love me, but I can still be hurt/disappointed that he might not.
