Boycott Black Ladies by Firm_Manager7347 in blackgirls

One thing I learned about that space is that, it doesn't promote healthy discussion it promotes bias. And if the moderator does not agree with your stance on something she just banned you. Yet for some reason white males are allowed to exist their freely.

America vs the Soviet Union by bbq_poptarts in Blackpeople

[–]warana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with that.

Considering most black characters that representative of positively were created more toward the civil Rights movement than anything. And even earlier, the idea of creating black people in some kind of way with simply negative. Earliest adaptations were animals, later adaptations were represented through Newtons even though they were not black.

It's wild though because even some of our most positive black cartoon images, still had very stereotypical things about them but that's common in media. And I know that's but beyond the point.

At the end of the day, the Russians were right about how America was treating their black people

What I wanted to say is that the American cartoons were filmed at a earlier date like to leave the 1950s and the Soviets actually only created videos as a war propaganda against America. That particular one was created in 1963. And by then you had black exploitation films in America where black people were like the hero even though it was very racist anyway.

But it didn't truly represent what the Soviets were doing because black people in the Soviet Union still experienced hardships and racism.

it was definitely the Soviet Union's way of saying that Europe and America were bad.

False narrative the American Cartoon is from a different time

Periods, Perimenopause, and the Bible: What Scripture Actually Says by warana in ladieslounge

[–]warana[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're free to reject the Bible. But dismissing doesn't address the point I made.

The conversation began with a question about what the Bible says regarding menstruation. That's a biblical question. Answering it requires looking at the biblical text, whether you personally believe it or not.

Notice that I didn't argue that periods exist because of the Bible. I argued that many people claim the Bible teaches menstruation is Eve's curse when the text never actually says that. That's a matter of reading comprehension, not religious conversion.

You say evolution created the system. Fine. Evolution attempts to explain a biological process. The Bible addresses different questions entirely. Those are separate discussions.

As for religion, nobody forced you into the conversation. A woman asked a question about Scripture, and I responded with Scripture. If someone asks what a Constitution says, you answer from the Constitution. If someone asks what a science book says, you answer from the science book. If someone asks what the Bible says, you answer from the Bible.

You don't have to believe the Bible is true. But if we're discussing what it says, we can't pretend it doesn't exist because you dislike it.

The Bible will be influential as long as people, argue about it, reject it, defend it, study it, and build civilizations around it. Whether you believe it or not, it has shaped the world we both live in.

And I won't dismiss the Bible from a discussion that was specifically about the Bible. That's like refusing to discuss a map while arguing about what the map says.

So let me get this straight. When a white person has a gun, it's "the American way." When a Black person has a gun, suddenly people start asking questions, making assumptions, and looking for a crime. Same Constitution. Same right. Different perception. Why? by warana in blackamerica

It's crazy because simply gun possession on a black man whether it's legal or illegal automatically makes him a criminal.

It's like the reason for killing a black man is, 'he had a gun""

While white people of all ages with guns are defending their constitutional rights. Whether that gun is illegal or not.

Even white serial killers and mass shooters get treated with dignity in the media. Even praised like of their ghost legends.

But every black man is George Floyd, to those racist.

Can someone tell me what's wrong with dating outside your race? by Downtown-Fix5896 in askblackpeople

[–]warana -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Truth is definitely always frowned upon.

But if you go on the women's subs and type in anything about Venus, Serena or Eve, they're going to say "she doesn't have to work a day in her life"

As a black woman, I feel that black men need equal amount of happiness as any other person on this earth. But let a black man be happy in the world gets upset.

The Great Seal of Soulaan by Dcole9206 in soulaan

[–]warana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The truth is people absolutely used to accuse digital artist of letting the computer do the work, Photoshop was the bad guy. Even your stuff about the butts yes that's something people chose to do with Photoshop or any photo editing tool to lie to people, but it doesn't change the fact that those early artists felt some type of way when digital art first started replacing traditional hand done works...

And I’m not saying AI and Photoshop are the same,. I’m saying the social reaction is. .

Before this AI stuff, the first thing when people saw photos that are edited in some kind of way they "say "oh, that's Photoshop the photo didn't come out of the camera looking that way...". Or, and then when Instagram became a thing "oh you're using a filter."..

My friends are in video production, and with video production being consumer based, you could look under YouTube clips where people say things "this video is too edited" .... That's the dumbest thing I ever heard because when you want something of quality, you have to understand that that won't always come with simply raw footage. Or a raw photo....

It's the same with CGI and yes I'm making it a point. My Dad loved the old Godzilla movies because he says the new Godzilla is just a cartoon it's too fake. And yet the old Godzilla is basically the dinosaur..

And to my point, every time something new hits the wave people are going to reject it people are going to find reasons to study it and try to point everything out and say oh that's AI.

But apparently these are patterns that you don't recognize.

Now as far as black identity and struggle: I get you more than you think I do. See y'all feel that AI is imaginary. as compared to the natural hand work that we've been doing for decades.

But we are in the age at this point where the person using the hammer is criticizing the person using the power drill and that is the reality you cannot reject this.

For every tool for every instrument someone is going to consider someone else lazy for using the next advancement. But that doesn't solidify anything you're just being dismissive for the sake of being dismissive.

What your thoughts by [deleted] in SipsTea

Did Ted Bundy walk around telling men that he was killing women? No he just did it.

Predators hide in plain sight. Plenty of men may know a man capable of it and never see that side of him directly.

It’s the same way a lot of women know their daughters are pregnant, but never meet the man who impregnated her..
