LOL, this thread isn't relationship specific, is it?
Yes. It is.
And you just swarm in like Uthant and derail it to racism.

I'm totally against what is the white male dominated "power to define". He has distorted everything from relationships, to culture, to history and everything in between. It has been one of the worlds worst developments, which is why I'm so well acquainted with it.
Distorted? How do you mean? Give an example. Relationships are distorted how?
I'll give you a very simple one. Look in your dictionary and see the definitions of white and black.
What does the dictionary and white and black have to do with relationships?
You asked, distorted in what way? This is a distortion of the term black, and for a reason. thoroughly sinister or evil : wicked <a black deed> b : indicative of condemnation or discredit <got a black mark for being late> 7 : connected with or invoking the supernatural and especially the devil <black magic> 8 a : very sad, gloomy, or calamitous <black despair> b : marked by the occurrence of disaster <black Friday> 9 : characterized by hostility or angry discontent : sullen <black resentment filled his heart>
None of that has anything to do with relationships and the statement you made of white male dominated society distorting it. This thread isn't about racism Z. So if you say that white men distorted relationships then give an example of how. That's all I'm asking.
LOL, this thread isn't relationship specific, is it?
Z, the line of discussion is on topic in my opinion. It's called "going deeper".
I don't think you're derailing. I thank you for the input.
And I like Ciss' questions because they've taken the dialogue deeper.
As Redd says, "Kewl".

I agree, however, Africa and Asia are in the same boat, as America. Those continents are dominated by males also. I don't think, they considered what the woman contributed to society, when making laws and rules. I has, and continues to be in their interest.
Agreed, within their particular spheres of influence. But on a worldwide level, no one has the power to define greater than the white male.
Predators need prey, Zechariah.
We must cease, being prey, to anyone. I asked those in favor of reparations, why not push for separation?
Is it because, blacks are afraid to lead, used to being prey, so they concede to the predator?
I think at this point in time, we are aware of what they're doing, it's now time, to do something about it.
We are really going off topic now..let me stop being a nag..

Off topic but I agree, which is why I said that yours was a good question.

Why bring it off topic?
You can't talk about anything but racism?

nagging: impossible order with even more improbability of compliance
order: preposterous proposition with even less probability of compliance
agreement: reasonable proposition with even more probability of compliance ,reinforced by a positive loop of everybody is winning
more winning, more agreement
stalemate: orders , repetitively projected ..... desensitization .... negative feedback loop ..... more orders and desensitization ..stimuli becomes environmental hummmmm....

Women have higher pitched voices then men do; making it sound like a nag when in reality they are both requesting. :-)

Nagging is a lazy man's word. When a man complains about someone nagging him, it's because he's lazy.
Find a man, who says his wife nags him, you'll see one, who doesn't care about his home, how it looks, how clean it is, whether his kids, eats, has clean clothes, etc..
He doesn't think those things are worth him, investing in. A real man, never, ever uses that word, for he is invested in his home, children and wife.
Just think of the things, a man says a woman nags him about? You'll see a lazy man!
Yes

From the examples listed, men do this too.
