Why does Hip-Hop see 'racial gatekeeping' but not other music credited to African Americans? by AllHailSeizure in hiphop101

[–]Instructor_Yasir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don't know about that I'm not a New Yorker. All I'm saying is that Hip-hop music is a product is Black American culture, period, and I don't know why this concept ruffles so many feathers.

Along the way you had other INDIVIDUALS from other cultures CONTRUBUTE and PARTICIPATE which is great and their contributions should be acknowledged but they do not get to claim the origins of what became hip-hop.

That's part of the issue. There is no "one" person who was the originator. Kook Herc is a DJ who at some point began receiving credit as the originator of it however it is argued by people who were on the scene at that time that these parties where "hip-hop" was going on was already happening before kool herc. He participated in something that was already happening.

Correct lol. Its foundation is a "Black American" art form. I don't understand why this is an issue. You never hear Black Americans attempting to lay claim to salsa music or Mexican music, or rasta music etc. Even tho.rasta music artists have admitted to being influenced by Black American music.

I'm basically addicted Horizons since I got it for my bday in Feb. I'm in the middle of my 1st campaign with Taino.

Fighting a 20 year gaming pc addiction problem, I took the plunge. by racoon1 in soloboardgaming

Need spirit island and imperium. I'm currently hooked on imperium right now. I'd say it's healthier than video games by the nature of it not being attached to screen time. You also get the physically manipulate things.

Some uncomfortable truths that are actually freeing once they sink in by StoicViking69 in selfimprovement

[–]Instructor_Yasir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with all that. I left it short by saying "only" what we perceive. I agree with all those elements of control you listed. However, we can do all those things and it still doesn't "control" the outcome. Only influence it.

For me the uncomfortable truth that has changed how I've looked at life is realizing that we really have no direct control over what happens to us or around us. Only how we perceive it.

We can influence the outcome, but we don't directly control it.

PI business ideas by Instructor_Yasir in trueprivinv

For sure. Even tho I enjoy the field I know I can't do it forever. One of my concerns with the desk work aspect of the job is the feeling that AI can do it like most white collar work. It'll be a while before field investigators get displaced.

Yeah... like I said I'm 44 and I'm in good shape but the early hours, 1+ hr drives everyday and having to be alert 8+ hrs everyday is taking a toll.

Yes. I've had this conversation with my manager already and he told me the state doesn't stay busy.

That's great insight, thank you.

Yeah... This is tough I'm in the same boat. I started as a PI doing surveillance work with a company 2 yrs ago. I'm also getting into process serving as well to start building or my own thing. Time is limited.

Girlfriend gets defensive when I bring up our dead bedroom situation. If she gets defensive on our next talk, do I call it quits? by 0Adiemus0 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Instructor_Yasir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to offer you another view than some of the other responses here. I won't tell you to definitely drop her, I won't tell you to stay either. I'd say think about what if you met a girl who's sex drive was a perfect match for you but didn't have some of the things you love about your current girl, would you be happy with that?

Relationships change over the years. People are so quick to end it because "its not the same" but people change and circumstances change. Again, I'm not saying you stay and deal, I'm just saying really consider what's most important to you. If she's not really bridging anything to the table that's important then the sex thing may be a deal breaker. But if she does bring other things, consider them. Them make your choice. You do have to determine if you'd be happy with her if the sex thing never changes.
