lol. You crack me up. So you are really acting like you have more knowledge of black culture because you watch youtube videos. lmao.
Everyone knows what downlow is. If it was accepted and as widespread like you said it would not have to even be "on the down low" denoting the secrecy and stigma against it.
We know the group of males in the US that do all the gay stuff. It definitely isn't black men.
LOL. Yet being on the downlow is a thing, a big thing. It is widespread. Leave your partner at home and go to a club in Atlanta. Watch the very few females who approach you ask if you're gay or not before anything else. Video tape it so I can laugh at you like I laughed at my friend. Still don't think that dude has recovered. The kicker was, the chicks never asked me. HAHA
And youtube videos? What does that have to do with black culture? I don't watch anything that has anything to do with black culture. I bang my blasianacker girlfriend, thats about as close as I get. Hell, she's part black and has nothing to do with black culture so not really sure that counts. lol.
Meh...., There's really no inference to be made at this point.
Lots of replies got deleted after I brought up a slang word suggesting Floyd may have used the Ol' Prison Wallet........
It might be kinda gay to use it, but there isn't much racist argument to be made about it.
Can you be white and "on the Down Low?"It black slang, yes. There are plenty of downlow white dudes. Yall just say in the closet or something. Several Republican Senators fit this profile.
Probably just got deleted because what you posted was pretty out there. "Hooping" means basketball, and the first rule of UrbanDictionary is that the first definition (and MAYBE the second) is the only useful one before you start running into weird definitions that some guy uses with his 4 friends and posts it on there
I didn't claim race played a part. I'm not outraged that Breonna Taylor was shot to death by the police in her house because she's black. I'm outraged because she was an innocent human being shot to death by the police in a place she should have been safe. I'm not one that's made a big deal about her race. No one should have to be afraid of something like this happening. No knock warrants should be outlawed IMO, and skin color plays no part in that belief. Black, white, red, or purple, I really don't give a damn. You should have a reasonable expectancy of safety in your own home and the police shouldn't be allowed to knock down your door without announcing first. AND police shouldn't just fire willy-nilly, even if fired upon. There easily could have been children in that house. They mishandled the situation in so many ways, it's ridiculous, and no one should be defending it IMO.Sounds good to me. But thatโs not the point. The point is that her race had nothing to do with her death. Plenty of no no knock warrant ls executed on whites in rural trailer parks.
Something being racist is now determined by the color of someoneโs skin and not by actual intent on circumstance.
if you get bad service. Racism. If you get pulled over racism. If you get turned down for a job. If they close your voting precinct.
All those things have happened to me BTW.
Congrats on 14.My post hasn't been deleted. I believe it was your's & K-Towns dismissal of my post that were deleted, and apologies if I'm getting the deletions wrong, which the reply to K-Towns(since deleted) dismissal of my post segued into implied racial sexuality...
What I posted was not "pretty out there" , regardless of anyone's unfamiliarity with it. How much time have you spent with convicted felons and drug addicts?
I'm not trying to power level here, and I will maintain my anonymity out of respect for the fellowship that saved my life.
But For The Grace Of God, next week Sat. 15th will make 14 years since I've found it necessary to take a drink or some kind of (drugs) 'here try this', to change the way I feel.
Gratitude has kept me involved in the fellowship & working with new comers to recovery.
I have made countless visits to treatment centers & recovery centers around the city like Harbor House, Lakeside, Serenity, & Lapoloma. Visited tons of halfway houses & helped keep our meeting centers open in MidTown. Memphis peeps, Yellow House off of Union Ave was me.
I can speak from experience working with the perceived bottom of society - addicts, alcoholics, and criminals, that "Hooping" as I previously described being a possible factor with G Floyd is a reasonable supposition. I've heard too many first hand accounts over the years from guys that have Hooped. Given the timing of Floyd's case with the Kung Flu shutdowns, I find it to be a more plausible scenario than basketball.
I can include walls upon walls of text with supporting details and facts should you doubt the veracity of my personal claims.
Easy for you to sayI didn't claim race played a part. I'm not outraged that Breonna Taylor was shot to death by the police in her house because she's black.

Allot of it is essentially from the Sermon On The Mount.And helping others. So So important to have an ear!!!!!
It's their job, so yes, it's easy for me to say. They're not supposed to put innocents in danger. How is it different that the Secret Service being expected to take a bullet for the POTUS? The police motto is "Serve and Protect". Firing haphazardly isn't helping protect anyone. And it all goes back to why no knock warrants are a bad idea.Easy for you to say
Tons of respect for you MemphisVol77. You have overcome great odds and in turn have given back to others mired in almost hopeless circumstance.My post hasn't been deleted.

You're so triggered! When your culture is the basic b!tch of the world, its easy to dissect.So you have no idea what you are talking about admittedly. So stfu about something you have no idea about. No white American can clown Black men about homosexuality. I would bet anything white American males have the highest percentage of gay or bi men or maybe some white Europeans beat them. They don't have to be on the downlow because homoerotic behavior and homosexuality is such a big part of white American male culture.
I'm not arguing about who has the most gay people. I could care less. I'm just referencing my personal experience of witnessing black women ask black dudes if they are gay or not as the literal icebreaker when meeting, something that doesn't happen in White culture. I could have gone into why this is a problem and part of the current AIDS epidemic among black women but I don't want to beat a dead horse.Are y'all really arguing about which race has the most gay people? Why is that a bad thing anyway?
As k-town later said, there are plenty of men in the closet across all races, partially because people love turning homosexuality into an insult just like this
And again, weโd agree on that.I didn't claim race played a part. I'm not outraged that Breonna Taylor was shot to death by the police in her house because she's black.

There is a place for no knocks, what needs to change is the โstandardsโ judges must meet before signing warrants. Whether the Taylor no knock or the Steel Dossier judges seem more concerned about political agendas than legal compliance.I didn't claim race played a part.

I disagree that no knock warrants have a place. They're dangerous and invite bad situations like the Breonna Taylor case to happen.There is a place for no knocks, what needs to change is the โstandardsโ judges must meet before signing warrants. Whether the Taylor no knock or the Steel Dossier judges seem more concerned about political agendas than legal compliance.
And yes, the cop who fired his weapon without visually confirming his target should be held legally liable
