Why?

Do you think it is what it is?

Do you feel talking is worthless to change, America is moving a different direction than the previous generation?

Feminism is here to stay so why bother? why get hyped up over something you can't change?

"I just do me and let the chips fall where they may"

What is the reason?

Most the posters don't really get involved or probably feel it's not something to think too deeply about?

Some people just don’t feel like getting into arguments with other posters, especially if their opinion is different from the consensus.

I believe more people would comment on social and racial issues more, if the ad hom attacks decreased and respect for divergent points of views were practiced.

Speaking for myself, the last thing I want to do is argue with people over opinions about things. I certainly can get with it and get my troll on, but doing that takes a lot of time and energy that I don’t have.

I think it's moreso the fact that most people are who they are, if a girl wants a paid dude, she's gonna seek that.

Arguing about it, I learn alot on different subjects but in reality it's not gonna change how people think so talking or putting too much into it makes it seem like the person doing the most talking is bitter.

I see this in the real world alot, I know alot of guys who struggle with women and life in general and the more they vent the more they come off as bitter to others who are quite good where they at in life.

So it's quite tough, people just say toughen up and stop complaining even if you feel you have a right to complain.

Feminism imo is here to stay, women have freedom, I don't think women gonna lay up under any old man tomorrow cuz of a change of opinion.

And dudes gotta man up period. it's just life.

Maybe they don't wanna be involved with the foolishness involving those topics. nikkas be derailing the conversations and throwing ad hominems when somebody says something they don't agree with, OR maybe their S/O is non-black and their comment might be a conflict of interest:mjpls:

When I first joined, I didn't expect the Coli to be THIS focused on race and politics, until I came into The Locker Room. I thought it was just a running gag, like Fire Marshall Bill getting blown up in every Living Color episode. I should've stayed in The Coliseum/TSC tbh :snoop:

I will share something that my mother shared with me when discussing dealing with women. She basically said to not argue with women I ain’t fukking.

Her point is that you argue with people you have a connection with or rapport or some sort of emotional ties because at least you can make up once the issue or conflict has subsided.

When she told me this, my whole perception about women changed. I was able to gain clarity and put certain things into perspective.

Obviously, there is some nuance involved that lead to her giving me said advice, but it still was some great advice that I strive to live by to this day(if possible).

Point of sharing the above is that it is pointless to argue with folks who aren’t a part of your personal life. I don’t come here to argue. I come here to be entertained as well as learn. When people argue, then the argument becomes the focus as opposed to what you and whoever is arguing about. So, what are you and the other person is learning at that point?

People here say a lot of shyt that I don’t agree with, but I don’t feel like arguing with them why I disagree or don’t like about what they said, think or feel.

I certainly don’t want to get into net banging and have nikkas talk about crossing state lines to catch fades. Too old for that shyt, plus I got things to lose that are too important for me.

Lastly, in regards to your comment regarding dudes who struggle with getting women being bitter and needing to man up...

No offense to you, but I would not take advice from dudes telling me to man up because they don’t understand and/or don’t care about my struggle. Point is..

Some people struggle with women and it affects them. People also need to vent. Better to vent then to hold it in until said person explode and really hurt someone innocent.

We are human beings who need a support system. Perhaps you may not be the person to offer support because you don’t have any comraderie with dude, so your level of compassion and not empathy for dude isn’t there to help him grow as a person.

If you want people to speak on topics important to the community, then there needs to be an avenue for people to express themselves without the bullshyt.

I never thought of this but it makes good sense but I realize in my years people see you for what you are, I can be the most intelligent homeless man in the world but I'm still a homeless man.

What you said makes sense because it puts the attention on the important and non-important and how to separate the two.

I think people are just shallow hands down, people want what they want, we bytch about the black community all day but the truth is, it's not a connection of enough people for others to care, I can't expect a rich dude to care about me and my situation it's not realistic...

At the end of the day you just gotta deal with it and move on and yeah, "man up" sounds stupid but that's how most people think and it all comes down to focus and achieving what you want outta life.

My mother always told me I care too much what people think and once I stop doing that I'll be better off and she's right, it's a distraction from doing what needs to be done.

See man, this is how you conduct a discussion! Ain’t no net banging! Ain’t no ad homs being thrown. Just two brothas having a civil discussion about a topic. That is how you learn and progress as a people! I am sure many people here either know each other personally or is familiar with people based on interacting with fellow posters for years.

Therefore those people can say things or push buttons or perhaps argue about things along with clown, party and bullshyt about things and it’s all good. There is some sort of understanding and connections between these people, even if it is dysfunctional.

I don’t know anyone here and have limited interaction with people here, so perhaps it would be in my best interest to stay neutral or post respectfully u til some sort of rapport is established, then maybe I can join the club and do what the others do.

I know that getting into it with people about important issues does not solve the issue. The real fight is in the streets meaning in our personal lives dealing with the issues and struggles that are discussed on this site, IMO.

i'm highly suspicious of the posters here, due to people not being who they say they are ala reddit asablackman. This site feels like one big psyop operation moreso when discussing racial, social and romantic issues. red pill ideology and language being promoted and used is an obvious one which occurs daily on this site but i've never heard or witnessed it in my own community. I stay for the laughs but I fear for the impressionable minds of young black coli members who fall for obvious propaganda and propagate bullshyt offline within their community.
