I see it here at work, I see it on the board, I see it socially. Is this just human nature? does everyone do it? or is it a generational thing?

Is it insecurity? </div></div>

why are you asking such a stupid question. any body with a brain could answer dat for demself

i am really sick and tired of all the stupid people on this board. especially the ediots who hang out in that stupid shout box all day. you people need to get a live. if you dont have enough work to do you need to find somebody to help

:breath: wow dat feels better

pathalogical to me and in dis, this is a personal observation wich i am qualified to mek,is wen a one wi seek u out fi comment pon di sly while maintaining a totally diffrant stance in public....i like to tink i am univerally flip at all times ...

an i agree dat di board reflects how people r...Jcans run di gamut of always having an opinion...wat has happened it dat dose who dont undastand dat about JCans an tek dis give an take and changing opinions out of context, wi find some Jcan who is out of sort wid anodda an u ha all the resulting angst dat u have.... if the island was all peace an love di murder rate wud not be wat it is...so why dis board haffi be a Bob Marley song an all who come pon yah haffi rubberstamp wat di average yaadie comment on as matta of course....

but hey, mi juss love di drama pon occasion....it mek time pass

I did read that when it was posted and took it as a dagger but was not sure who it was for.
I found that the poster was exalting themselves but at the same time I was a bit confused because I did not know if Ms Breakspeare was to that extreme 'white meat'.

So taking offense mean picking sides then for some reason it just might be that there is an objectivity problem sometimes when people tek things too persona

actually just the wording, I picked that one because it is more neutral, nothing against the poster personally, just an example. He/she never have to put down white people/Cindy B to make the point that black skin has less wrinkles, the same point could have been gotten across by referencing an older black woman with flawless skin.

a personal observation since one wonders why u would have to tink di smaddy was exalting demselves....it lends the belief dat u know di personally personally , hence the conclusion....

it is like how that post re the smaddy going to Ja went postal...the Jcans were stating dat anybody who has apprehensions going into a situation should ? going ahead since said apprehension taint the expectations....yetttttttttttttttt

I wish that the attack would be on the board persona but sometimes people use words with the intent to hurt someones feelings personally

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">

I am agreeing that it is a situation where the person is trying to say that blacker is better and that is why they should be first choice, meaning <span style="font-weight: bold">THEMSELF</span>.
Normally I am used to talking about something others dont know, like in my marxian example.
But if someone address this it means that it is something other blacks dont believe, a sort of self awakening I would say
