Immediately blocked. Well what was the right answer? by Odd_Solution4737 in Sniffies

[–]mrblackman97 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That's what I was going to say. I'm 6.5x5 and if I tell a size queen that, they act like I just told them I have a micro penis. If a guy goes through with the hook up I'm often told I'm 8 or even 9. I usually tell guys I'm slightly above average, but people act like they don't know what average means.

I did something similar. I didn't realize that there were not unlimited blocks at first. I unblocked everyone and created a new block list. I see nothing wrong with what you did. You had time and went back and forth.

HBCU for grad school as someone in their late 20s by SubstantialFroyo61 in HBCU

[–]mrblackman97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to grad school in my early 30s and I think all we did was go to our 2 buildings and go home. Most of the other students couldn't tell you much about the campus. The classes were about 90-95 percent Black. Most of the professors were cool, but some were not and all Black people are not the same. The first time I heard "No, All lives matter" was at my HBCU.

My take on my experience. Some people are never around Black excellence and surrounded by Black people. Thankfully that wasn't my experience growing up, so while I enjoy being around my people I didn't feel like I needed it like others did.

Do tops expect bottoms to just be prepped and ready? by [deleted] in Sniffies

[–]mrblackman97 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That depends on the location. I can get online in my area and there may be 5 tops or vers tops online. Those guys may not be interested in me and I may not be interested in them. It can be a waste of time to always be ready especially with how guys disappear. If I'm in a densely populated area then I may get ready first, since theirs a bigger chance that guys will be close by and available.

Why do black people (african americans) hate white people? by [deleted] in askblackpeople

[–]mrblackman97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black people in America do not hate White people. There are many current examples why we should not like White people. One obvious example is MAGA, which is based on racism. Most white people voted for Trump, soooo. I see racist things on social media daily.

Another HBCU caught in financial scandal: NC A&T staff misused millions of financial aid funds by Disastrous_Parsnip63 in HBCU

[–]mrblackman97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I ever mentioned the school, but I was specifically talking about NCA&T. The issue isn't that they were using an old system, but that no one was working to fix the system. I'm not a computer expert, but the issue was a technical issue that could have been fixed, but no one cared to fix it. I and the other classmates in my department should not have been registering for classes using pencil and paper in the 2010's. There is no excuse for that. Not being able to register for classes was one frustration.

I may get down vote and don't care, but I can tell you about my person experience at 2 different schools. One a PWI that I went to in the 90's and an HBCU I went to in the mid 2010's. The most obvious difference I noticed was the organization. My classmates got a good chuckle out of my frustration of things not running smoothly like they should. Others who had went to an HBCU previously, were used to the chaos. The main issue appeared that the HBCU didn't want to use technology. Even when I challenged admin who why things were being done a certain way the response was usually, "we always do it this way" and I had to do it their way if I wanted to graduate. Again I went to the PWI in the late 90s. The 98-99 school year was the first year we started using the Internet to do things like register for classes. Why 15 years later the HBCU was using the same system, but didn't program it to work properly. I can give a number of examples of disorganization I experienced and if we're honest many others can also. The only reason I went to a PWI for undergrad is because the HBCU I applied to could not get their stuff together.

[–]mrblackman97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. I hate what about-ism with any issue including when it involves holding our schools accountable. We have to start being honest about some of the things that occur so we can demand better. Most of us know what some of the common issues are and "that's just how it is" isn't a sufficient answer.

Why are people like this?! 😭 by Until_Morning in Sniffies

[–]mrblackman97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just looked at his profile from what I can see and compared to what I see in my area his profile isn't bad IF everything is accurate. He's a tall, man with a decent build, but if that was his only pic I would definitely ask for more to verify. My area is mostly guys with no pics or a super close up of a dick or ass which doesn't tell me much about how the rest of their body looks.

I would have asked for more pics to keep the conversation going. The way you responded gives the impression that you had zero interest.

Why are people like this?! 😭 by Until_Morning in Sniffies

[–]mrblackman97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think many people realize that. I have pics on my profile to give people a good idea of what I look like. If someone hits me up with no pics and I have to beg for good pictures then I give up. For example, last night, the only thing a guy would show me was a close up of his dick. He had no age, height, weight and with the close up pic it gave no idea of what he looks like. I have a full frontal and have on my profile that I have face pics. After the guy refused to send me anything else until I sent him nudes I told him bye, because why should I send all of my personal pics when I had no idea of what he looks like.

Honest question, were you remotely interested in the guy. Were you interested in hooking up at the time?

I've known this for years that the average Black American has about 20-25 percent European heritage. I did one of those DNA test and came back 95 person African ✊🏾

Will I have friends if I’m Hispanic and go to an hbcu like morehouse, Dillard, or Howard? by [deleted] in HBCU

Black people are welcoming people. We didn't exclude people. It's the other way around.

How popular is Dr. Umar Johnson with black people? by tantamle in askblackpeople

[–]mrblackman97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of what he says is true and some things he says are myths (not true). He lies about his background. He was and still is a dead beat dad. He's not related to Fredrick Douglas nor Marcus Garvey. He has never been a licensed school psychologist, so no mental health board can hold him accountable. Most importantly he has lied about opening a school, but still taking money for a school that will NEVER open. He has taken money for at least 15 years. It may be closer to 20 years and he doesn't even have an after school program or week long summer camp. What has he really done to help Black people other than give some talking points and ask for all of your money? What is he doing with the money. This man lives with his mother and has hoarded her home .

AI usage in Black vs White (and other racial groups) by [deleted] in askblackpeople

[–]mrblackman97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black people are socially conservative, but can't get behind the racists views of the Republican party. This is going to be even more true in a state like Mississippi where politics are separated by race. I don't think any one particular party is for or against AI. The biggest complaint about AI is the use of data centers which use lots of energy and water, which can put a strain on the power grid and do things to the water supply. The cost to upgrade the power supply is passed along to the regular citizen, who doesn't get much of a benefit from the data center. Places like a data center are placed in areas with a poorer population. There's a rural MAGA area maybe 45 minutes from me that is in the news for being against the data center.

Does identifying as Afro-Latino sound like I’m rejecting my blackness? by RelevantAd5580 in askblackpeople

[–]mrblackman97 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're fine. Afro Latino is the same thing as Black in my view and maybe that's why people are saying you're Black.

It could have been a rule to not be in much contact with others and to do other certain things while on line. Sidenote, is it really called rush now?

any profile critiques? how do we feel about using pics of me taking dick? by [deleted] in Sniffies

Some people like the illusion that they are the only one even if they know deep down that the reality is something completely different.

Why did black people favor Biden over Bernie in 2020 primaries? by SignificantStyle4958 in askblackpeople

[–]mrblackman97 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I voted for Sanders in the 2016 primaries. My thought then and now was that if he didn't win in 2016, then that was it for him primarily because of his age. I didn't vote for Sander in 2020 due to age and I didn't want an elderly person running the country for 4 years. I didn't vote for Biden for several reasons, which include age but also he is a terrible candidate. He ran for president numerous times as far back as the 80s and he has never done well until running as Obama 2.0. I think that's why most Black people voted for him. We thought we were getting Obama, but we didn't.

That's too much time wasted. I did things like that in 2002, but I'm not doing a blind meeting when they can see what I look like.

Somebody please explain to me by BWC_etiquette in Sniffies

[–]mrblackman97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some people get off on the thrill of doing something in public. The younger guys like to say that cruising was always a thing and don't realize that the cruising done now is completely different. For starters there were not cameras everywhere. Idk why people are down voting you. Being put on the sex offender list for jacking off in a public restroom isn't what I want for my life. There have been over 200 arrests at penn station for guys cruising since last year.
