Again, only a fool ignores valid criticism, but what's "common" about ya'll? Most of you on here have some college, unlike most black folk. I see engineers, teachers, entrepreneurs, all kinds of shit. I respond to who responds to me. In case you haven't noticed, there are some extremely deep cats on here, cats that make me say "where the fuck did he learn all THAT shit?" I'm just playing my position. If a thread is about something like how many times can you cum in one night, I don't feel the need to be overtly philosophical about that, and I am as interested in the sexual conversations as I am anything else. But if we are talking about the influence of hip hop on American culture, and the music industry's influence on hip hip, and then a capitalistic framework's influence on art- well them I'm sorry, all the fucking gloves come off. While you may take a knee jerk approach to such an involved topic, it is actually rather involved and I choose to try to approach it analytically.
There is quite a bit of intelligence on this board, it's just that like many black folks many of ya'll seem to think there is something wrong with intellectual discourse. Hey, fuck that. Life's too short for me to pretend I'm something that I'm not. I deal with the same shit from a bunch of white eggheads all the time who think that white folks are the only folks that can use their heads. Well, their asses have been well kicked by this stage of the game, so that chapter is history. On this board I don't think I have any real enemies, so it's not a fight as far as I'm concerned (unlike the business world where in fact it is a great big fucking fight everyday). But Ima do me. I follow the board's rules, and if I don't I will be glad to be so informed by a mod. As lond as I follow the board's rules, if I say some shit you don't like you can either respond or ignore it, either way I don't give a fuck. But if you engage, be prepared for me to respond, because I come here for the back and forth. I have nothing to prove to any fucker on here, I will probably never meet any of you (though some of you seem pretty interesting). I'm not trying to make friends. This is a fun outlet at a time in my life when my professional shit is real serious and real demanding (not whining, life is life) and it gives me some cheap kicks. If anybody takes any of this shit real seriously, they shouldn't.
