  • @BeachChickThe are you speaking of race vs. nationality? as a african american i have to say that varies person to person.however,most african americans i know date all nationalities of black people and sometimes people of another race.basically,nothings concrete.It depends on the individual.

  • This is put together wonderfully! Thank you for sharing! We are all a little bit more informed because of this!

  • Fascinating: so much self-absorption, and yet so little self-actualization.

  • @Exton1

  • 42 People think slavery never happened

  • @ThirstyDad65 Thats true but you can't get a degree from reading books and doing research on the net.
