I happen to love Popeyes btw.
I knew you were black. You are too good at dancing and basketball to be a white guy.

What Makes A Person Black?
by Englishman inobviously athletes linford christie and carl lewis are black.
but how about persons of mixed parentage, are they considered to be black too?.
how about my son's old girl friend whose grandmother was from the phillipines, is she black because her skin had a slight (and very beautiful) brownish glow that came from her ancestor?.

I believe the defining factor is whether there is any African ancestry. While some people from other countries, such as the Phillipines, India or South America, may actually be darker, they are not referred to as black.
Why are you Black if you have any African ancestry but not White if you have any European ancestry? I have relatives with African ancestry with fairer skin than most "White" people.
The truth is that there is no definition of "Black" or "White" because race doesn't exist. There is so much variation in physical appearance within a "race" and between "races" that there is no scientific basis for race.

If God exists, God is both female and male and neither female nor male.

You are all wrong. It's fried chicken! ONLY blacks have the love-fried-chicken gene. So, if you see someone eating fried chicken and loving it--even if they seem white you will know the truth.

Pretty soon I am going to be counting things for no reason and triple checking my locks! :-0
I do that! LOL Before there was no reason...but now I'm a chemist and get good grades for counting and obsessing over accuracy and precision. If you can't get rid of it, use it.

Me! I've got it. It's too difficult to summarize my life experience, or even my daily experience, with OCD in one post but if anyone has any questions about OCD I'm your source!
Aztec, the behaviors you described can be considered "compulsions" but the more important indicator of an OCD is what motivates the behavior. Compulsive behavior gets a lot of attention, but the counterpart is what is in your head--the obsessions, the intrusive thoughts.
If you can, note what your thoughts are before, during, and after the behaviors. Everyone exhibits compulsive behavior from time to time, but I wouldn't worry too much unless the behaviors are recurrent, inescapable, and in response to some internal fixation.
Nonetheless, is it good that you are open to the possibility of OCD. Some people clearly have it and deny it. Don't forget, if you ever have questions I'm here for ya!

Why do members here have a fascination with telling us they're leaving ?
by run dont walk inmaybe i am way out of line with the comments i am about to make, and i may offend some people,this is not my intention ............ but why do members of this board make a big deal that they are leaving the board ???.
i just don't get it, are we all here, like a big circle of friends, would you tell your immediate circle of friends you won't see them anymore because you have no time ???.
you do not have to post everyday or every week here, i take a break sometimes because yeah i don't have the time to post or start a topic, so, but it irks me when people say their life is too busy, or they have others thing to do and will not be posting here anymore.

After some thought in the other room, I have returned to JWD. I just needed time to evaluate my life and my experience on this board. I hope my temporary lack of faith did not cause others to stumble.
