Why Some Black Women Love White Men

hough most black women still love black men, I am finding more and more sisters like myself who have always been attracted to white men, finally getting up the nerves to explore their feelings.
I had always been told by family, friends and society that dating white men was wrong. Many black people call black women hoes, black men haters and sell-outs for doing so. I feel this is very wrong especially since the black community seems to give black men a free pass to date/marry any race of women they want.

I have nothing against black men and love them also but only as friends and family. Now what I love about white men (I am speaking only in generalizations and not about every white man, they seem to be more driven to succeed in all areas of life, they are more motivated about getting their educations and working at their jobs, they have their own things(homes,apt, cars, money)and don't look to women to help them. White men are polite and generous on dates. They don't carry around a lot of emotional baggage and they have confidence in their abilties. The white men that I have dated have also been very passionate in bed. Physically, I find light skin on men very appealing, I love looking up into a pair of masculine blue or green eyes and running my fingers through his thick straight, curly or wavy mane of hair.

Jesus Christ did not Exist (shocking-proof)

Before I began this post I would like to offer any one this shocking- truth
In video format by request sent to your e-mail box

Now for the post:

This is a comparison between Horus dating back thousands of years before the Jesus Christ myth
was created and commissioned into existence by the Pope of Rome

The mythical Messiah was Horus in the Osirian Mythos; Har-Khuti in the Sut-Typhonian; Khunsu in that of Amen-Ra; Iu in the cult of Atum-Ra; and the Christ of the Gospels is an amalgam of all these characters.
The Christ is the Good Shepherd!
So was Horus.

Christ is the Lamb of God!
So was Horus. Christ is the Bread of Life!
So was Horus. Christ is the Truth and the Life!
So was Horus. Christ is the Fan-bearer!
So was Horus. Christ is the Lord!
So was Horus. Christ is the Way and the Door of Life!
Horus was the path by which they travel led out of the Sepulcher. He is the God whose name is written with the hieroglyphic sign of the Road or Way.

I RECOMMEND READING THE BOOK BELOW

BY GERALD MASSEY

THE HISTORICAL JESUS

AND

M Y T H I C A L - C H R I S T

The New Testament

The conical credibility of the documents of the Old Testament haunted the documents of the New Testament.
In who wrote the new testament: the making of the Christian myth, Burton Mack summarizes the story of the new testament by pointing out that contrary to widely held beliefs, Christian gospels are not historical accounts of a single set of events that complement each other.

The gospels came out of the early history of different and divergent Christian communities whose "anonymous" writers wrote different episodes for special purposes and people

all of these creations in Christianity were therefore nothing but variations and adaptations of ancient Egyptian perceptions of this God in the form of a pyramidal polytheism. Unfortunately, Christians were not supposed to know this because the early apostolic fathers believed that the truth would undermine their faiths.
In part one of this post I offered to send the who's what's, when's, where's and why's to the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth to you by e-mail in video format the offer still stands.

You can discover the full story by doing your own investigation
Start with the following books.

YES BUT WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE, CAN BELIEVEING IN JESUS CHRIST HURT ME OR MY FAMILY ?

IN CONCLUSION:
Absolutely critical to the white supremacy system of religious thought was the formation of the image of a white man as the “son” of God.
This white male image then was referred to as” Christ” the brain-computer functions most fundamentally on logic circuits, at deep unconscious levels it automatically computes that God, the father, is also a white male.
If God is other than white, he would have produced a Black (or other non-white) son.

Thus, any person programmed to accept the Christian religion, whether conscious of it or
not, has the image and concept of God as a white man in the logic network of his/her brain-computer.

Iraqi-American Translators: The Untold Story

By Elise Ehrhard
FrontPageMagazine.com | August 12, 2005

The night a disheveled Saddam Hussein faced American interrogators in his former palace, a liquor-store owner from Detroit named Adnan translated every word.

"And I told him, 'You know what, one day, before, these palaces, they were yours. Now you are a visitor with us,'" Adnan said.

Adnan, who asked that his last name not be used out of concern for his family, smiled as he showed me a two-year old photograph in an Arabic newspaper. In the photo, he is escorting a handcuffed Saddam Hussein into custody.

Born in Baghdad in 1957, Adnan fled to the United States in 1980 to escape the Iran/Iraq war. He never imagined that twenty-three years later he would sit face-to-face with the handcuffed dictator.

"And Saddam asked me, he say, 'When did you leave Baghdad?' I said, 'About twenty-two years old.' He said, 'You claim you are Iraqi. You are not Iraqi.' I said, 'Because of you mother-f***er , I'm not!'" Adnan angrily put out his cigarette as he recalled the moment.

Adnan is one of a unique group of individuals whose stories few Americans know -- the Iraqi-American translators. They are men and women between two worlds. They are Americanized after years of U.S. citizenship, but drawn to their homeland. They are civilians often in the thick of military action. Their reasons for joining U.S. forces are straightforward.

"The generation of my oldest brother disappeared basically," said Talib Al-Shuwaily, a translator originally from Nasiriyah, when describing his childhood in Iraq during the 1980's.

Al-Shuwaily fled his hometown of Nasiriyah after the brutal 1991 crackdown in the south. The thought of returning to Iraq as a linguist initially frightened him.

"It was a scary feeling because that's the country I escaped from. Do I really want to go back there? And this could be the biggest war. It's the whole me and the whole you. What do you call it? An all out war. It at first scared me. Then I said, 'I have to do it.'"

Military contractors first sent Al-Shuwaily to Qatar to translate documents. His wife gave birth to their son Sayeed while he was away. Then he transferred to Basra, Iraq.

"My wife said, 'Call me all the time. Send me an e-mail. Then I'll understand and I'm not going to worry about you as much.' Now of course if we got hit, I wouldn't tell her that we got hit last night. I never told her until I got back."

Like American soldiers, many translators speak of the separation from their families as the toughest part of their job.

"That was the hardest thing for me since I left three kids and a wife," said Johnny "Sargon" Jacob, an Assyrian-American linguist who recently returned from a two-year stint in Iraq.

Assyrians were the first inhabitants of Iraq. Many still speak their ancient language of Aramaic. "Sargon" is an old Assyrian king.

Fluent in Aramaic, Arabic and English, Jacob rode into Baghdad with U.S. forces the day Baghdad fell. The hulky former boxer cried in the Humvee.

"My friend, he was a major sitting next to me in the Humvee, he said 'Jacob, why are you crying? Are you scared?' I said, 'No sir, I'm not scared. I'm so happy.'"

He returned to his childhood home in Al Doura south of Baghdad and organized a gift collection on the American base for the old neighborhood.

"Military personnel managed to collect gifts of clothes, medicines, toys, things, candies, food. You name it, anything that was available. You know, these beautiful, wonderful soldiers brought it to me and collected it in boxes so that I could take it to the Iraqi needy people."

Jacob visited the Christian church of his childhood, St. George's. He sadly showed me two photographs. In one, Iraqi parishioners happily gather in the courtyard next to the church after Mass in 2003. The next photograph taken one year later shows the bombed away site where the church once stood.

"[Suicide bombers] drove a car into the side of the church and they completely destroyed it."

Jacob fears "dark days" for the future of his Assyrian people as Islamic radicals continue to target Iraqi Christians, but he remains steadfast in his belief that U.S. forces were right to enter Iraq in order to remove Saddam Hussein.

Al-Shuwaily and Adnan agree. Adnan described the effects of Saddam's regime on the people.

"If you see someone in his forties, you think he [is] in his seventies. The way life was, [there was] too much depression. Under Saddam's regime, they don't know when they're going to be dead. They have no freedom. Like birds released from their cage."

Huckabee's record on women scrutinized

BY ANDREW DeMILLO
Associated Press

Southern Baptist Convention

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- Republican Mike Huckabee's record on women's rights is coming under increased scrutiny, including his endorsement of the Southern Baptist Convention's stance that women should ''submit graciously'' to their husbands and his opposition to sending women into combat.

Huckabee, an ordained Southern Baptist minister, defended his record Thursday, saying he appointed many women to high positions in state government and on his staff during his 10 ½ years as Arkansas governor.

''If you look at my cabinet, I had more women in my cabinet and on my staff in key positions, including chief of staff, than any other governor probably in Arkansas history,'' Huckabee said on ABC's Good Morning America.

Huckabee had been asked on the TV show about his support of the Baptist convention's statement of beliefs on marriage. The former Arkansas governor and his wife Janet signed a full-page ad in USA Today in support of the statement with 129 other evangelical leaders in 1998.

''A wife is to submit graciously to the servant leadership of her husband even as the church willingly submits to the headship of Christ,'' the convention says in its statement of faith. Baptist Press reported that the 1998 ad was addressed to denomination leaders and said: ``You are right because you called wives to graciously submit to their husband's sacrificial leadership.''

Huckabee was supported by 17 percent of women in a nationwide AP-Ipsos poll earlier this month, making him roughly even with Rudy Giuliani and John McCain for the lead among female voters among GOP presidential contenders.

Huckabee has faced questions before over his support of the marriage statement, with a rival in his 1998 re-election campaign citing the statement and accusing Huckabee of opposing equal pay for women.

''It's one thing for Mike Huckabee to think a wife should submit graciously to her husband, but it's another to have her work for less than she's worth,'' Democratic challenger Bill Bristow said in a 1998 ad.

Huckabee's campaign then cried foul and accused Bristow of taking a swipe at Southern Baptists.

In 1992, when Huckabee was a candidate for the U.S. Senate, he said in a 229-question survey submitted by The Associated Press that he opposed placing women in combat roles in the military ``because of my strong traditional view that women should be treated with respect and dignity and not subject to the kinds of abuses that could occur in combat.''

However, Huckabee's traditional view of women apparently doesn't extend to the political arena.

In the same survey, Huckabee was asked about the number of women serving in the House and Senate. He wrote: ``I really cannot say whether or not the presence of so few women has made any difference in Congress, but women are certainly as capable as men of serving in the Senate.''

That view also extends to the White House. Huckabee said Thursday in the ABC interview that he fully expects a woman will be elected to lead the country someday -- he just hopes it won't be next year since he wants the job.

''Will there be a female president? Of course there will. And should there be? Absolutely,'' Huckabee said.

When Breasts Form in Males

What is gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is a condition in which firm breast tissue forms in males. The breast tissue is usually less than 1-1/2 inches across and is located directly under the nipple. Gynecomastia may be present on one side or on both sides. This condition may make the breast tender.

Some men and boys have fat on their chests that makes it look like they have breasts. This condition is called pseudogynecomastia (false gynecomastia). It is not the same thing as gynecomastia.


Return to top
What causes gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia is usually caused by changes in hormones at puberty or as part of aging. Gynecomastia may be caused by changes in the balance of 2 hormones: estrogen and testosterone. In rare cases, gynecomastia may be caused by prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, illegal drugs, tumors or disease.


Return to top
Are tests needed to find the cause of gynecomastia?
Sometimes tests are needed, and sometimes they're not. Your doctor will ask you questions about your symptoms, such as how long you've had the breast tissue, and whether or not the area is tender. Your doctor will also ask you about any illnesses you may have had in the past, medicines you take, and other matters relating to your health. Then you will have a physical examination.

Whether you need tests depends on your age and what your doctor learns from your history and physical examination. Gynecomastia is common in teenage boys. As many as 65% of 14-year-old boys have gynecomastia. If you are a teenager, you probably will not need tests. Your breast enlargement will probably go away on its own in 2 or 3 years. However, younger boys and adult men who have gynecomastia may need to have some tests. In these cases, it is possible that some kind of disease may be causing the problem.


Return to top
How is gynecomastia treated?
In most cases, no treatment is needed. Your doctor will probably want to check the size of your breast tissue every few months. In 90% of teenage boys, gynecomastia goes away in less than 3 years.

Sometimes the problem can be solved if you stop taking a medicine that is causing gynecomastia or stop using an illegal drug that is causing the problem.

Occasionally, medicines may be used to treat gynecomastia, especially if tenderness is a problem. The medicine will make the extra breast tissue go away. Rarely, surgery may be necessary to remove the extra breast tissue.

If gynecomastia is caused by a disease or a tumor, treatment is necessary . If gynecomastia is caused by a disease, the disease itself will need to be treated.


Return to top
Could the breast lump be cancer?
Probably not. Breast cancer is very rare in males. Lumps caused by cancer are usually not underneath the nipple--where breast tissue from gynecomastia grows. Breast cancer feels different than the breast tissue of gynecomastia. Breast cancer may also cause dimpling of the skin or a bloody discharge from the nipple. Your doctor will probably be able to tell whether your breast lump is cancer. If there is any question that you have cancer, you will need to have a mammogram and a biopsy.

Hair Loss and Its Causes

The normal cycle of hair growth lasts for 2 to 6 years. Each hair grows approximately 1 centimeter (less than half an inch) per month during this phase. About 90 percent of the hair on your scalp is growing at any one time. About 10 percent of the hair on your scalp, at any one time, is in a resting phase. After 2 to 3 months, the resting hair falls out and new hair starts to grow in its place.

It is normal to shed some hair each day as part of this cycle. However, some people may experience excessive (more than normal) hair loss. Hair loss of this type can affect men, women and children.



What causes excessive hair loss?
A number of things can cause excessive hair loss. For example, about 3 or 4 months after an illness or a major surgery, you may suddenly lose a large amount of hair. This hair loss is related to the stress of the illness and is temporary.

Hormonal problems may cause hair loss. If your thyroid gland is overactive or underactive, your hair may fall out. This hair loss usually can be helped by treatment thyroid disease. Hair loss may occur if male or female hormones, known as androgens and estrogens, are out of balance. Correcting the hormone imbalance may stop your hair loss.

Many women notice hair loss about 3 months after they've had a baby. This loss is also related to hormones. During pregnancy, high levels of certain hormones cause the body to keep hair that would normally fall out. When the hormones return to pre-pregnancy levels, that hair falls out and the normal cycle of growth and loss starts again.

Some medicines can cause hair loss. This type of hair loss improves when you stop taking the medicine. Medicines that can cause hair loss include blood thinners (also called anticoagulants), medicines used for gout, medicines used in chemotherapy to treat cancer, vitamin A (if too much is taken), birth control pills and antidepressants.

Certain infections can cause hair loss. Fungal infections of the scalp can cause hair loss in children. The infection is easily treated with antifungal medicines.

Finally, hair loss may occur as part of an underlying disease, such as lupus or diabetes. Since hair loss may be an early sign of a disease, it is important to find the cause so that it can be treated.



Can improper care of my hair cause hair loss?
Yes. If you wear pigtails or cornrows or use tight hair rollers, the pull on your hair can cause a type of hair loss called traction alopecia (say: al-oh-pee-sha). If the pulling is stopped before scarring of the scalp develops, your hair will grow back normally. However, scarring can cause permanent hair loss. Hot oil hair treatments or chemicals used in permanents (also called "perms") may cause inflammation (swelling) of the hair follicle, which can result in scarring and hair loss.

What is common baldness?
The term "common baldness" usually means male-pattern baldness, or permanent-pattern baldness. Male-pattern baldness is the most common cause of hair loss in men. Men who have this type of hair loss usually have inherited the trait. Men who start losing their hair at an early age tend to develop more extensive baldness. In male-pattern baldness, hair loss typically results in a receding hair line and baldness on the top of the head.

Women may develop female-pattern baldness. In this form of hair loss, the hair can become thin over the entire scalp.


Can my doctor do something to stop hair loss?
Perhaps. Your doctor will probably ask you some questions about your diet, any medicines you're taking, whether you've had a recent illness and how you take care of your hair. If you're a woman, your doctor may ask questions about your menstrual cycle, pregnancies and menopause. Your doctor may want to do a physical exam to look for other causes of hair loss. Finally, blood tests or a biopsy (taking a small sample of cells to examine under a microscope) of your scalp may be needed.


Is there any treatment for hair loss?
Depending on your type of hair loss, treatments are available. If a medicine is causing your hair loss, your doctor may be able to prescribe a different medicine. Recognizing and treating an infection may help stop the hair loss. Correcting a hormone imbalance may prevent further hair loss.

Medicines may also help slow or prevent the development of common baldness. One medicine, minoxidil (brand name: Rogaine), is available without a prescription. It is applied to the scalp. Both men and women can use it. Another medicine, finasteride (brand name: Propecia) is available with a prescription. It comes in pills and is only for men. It may take up to 6 months before you can tell if one of these medicines is working.

If adequate treatment is not available for your type of hair loss, you may consider trying different hairstyles or wigs, hairpieces, hair weaves or artificial hair replacement.
