My father was a 28 year veteran of the Air Force and in the early 60's he worked on "Project Blue Book". He use to ask me when I was little what would I do if a purple and green martian showed up at our door. My reply was always, I would ask him, her, in and ask if I could get them anything. So you can see I was raised with the ideals that no living item should ever be hurt.

Liked reading your thoughts, and I think you have the coolest web address out there. I have to differ with you though on the "The kids in the nicer neighborhoods got their drugs from a more reliable source -- the family medicine cabinet"

I grew up in both rich and poor neighborhoods and was a teenager in the '70s. The choice of drug back then was pot. It didn't matter if you were rich or poor. Pot was cheap and pentiful. Other drugs weren't so easy to get.

I also don't agree with "The mythical 'Black Stud', 'Mandigo Man' and 'Big Black Cock' are as much features of American culture as 'Mom's Apple Pie'. Is it any wonder that white women want to taste this forbidden fruit. Their racial privilege gives them the opportunity to sample some dark meat and place the blame on the Black man's 'unnatural sexual appetite'." This white-skinned woman finds some black men extremely attractive and not because of any mythical black stud, mandigo man and black cock mumblo jumblo. I like any man that looks, smells, and feels good. And who said that a black man was forbidden fruit! That's not fair.

But you are right about one thing, black men do get the blame.

Last but not least, about the UFO section, I saw a UFO once too. Back in the late '70s. At that time, the government used to say they were weather ballons. (They probably still do.) A never saw a weather ballon with windows before, but then I never saw a weather ballon before either.

Nice talking with you and sharing thoughts. Liked your pages.

on your O.J. Simpson submission;

As an (I hope) objective white person, I have to say one thing. I am sure that a people has trouble recognizing injustice when it is in their favor. Take for example your mention of the various conquering societies of our history. I am sure that slavery, murder for acquisition of wealth, and overall domination based on violence is an injustice. But that was not something that stopped them!

I believe the ruling on the trial, for many people that believed him to be gilty, was an eye opener. Once they percieved an injustice done to them (that is ridiculous, but I think that is a very good way of putting it), they wanted to "change the rules", as you say. That's my way of interpreting it.

I just have to say I think you must be one of the most cultured, intelligent people I have ever been subjected to, if you're just one person. Keep up the great writing, and webpage in general.
thanks,

I believe that there are many unexplained phenomenae that most people
probably could not handle. Whether the gov't knows what these
things are or not isn't the point, the point is that they think
they are protecting the public, and I think they are doing a
Pretty good job. If the publice happened to find these things
out, they might not reacte especially well.

I see you are a heavy thinker, as I sit here surfing, I hope to revisit one day and engage in e-mailsation. I just wanted to let you know your thoughts have been read this day. Oh, the aliens are here,we know them as white people,who have learned to "act" or go through the motions of human beings but... we all know that to be Human you can't do unhuman things to other Humans. Plus the essence of Human-Beings is primarily melanin, which many groups of people of color possess and these aliens don't. We have been detoured from developing ourselves (Black People) to living as our highest selves, because of the great academy award acting job these aliens have done and continue to do. But common sense should have told us long time ago that the reason these aliens don't treat us humanly because they don't know what it is to be human. I guess with years of mutations, we can call them mankind.. kinda like a man...We so kind, wishfull, loving , etc.. Black People raise our kids to ignore the mistreatment of this self proclaimed ruling class, and reach for the sky. What we should be teaching our kids is that you can never expect a white man to do the right thing, you can always expect a white man to screw you and they can avoid disappointment in dealing with them. But we also need to teach our children that the melanin in their bodies makes them more than Black, but the most spiritual being on this earth and in all our actions and endevors we should strive for the highest and the best. Knowing who we are and who we have to deal with puts us ahead game... any snake handler knows how to handle the more poison snakes. Affirmative Action has helped many of us, including me when I worked, but it is really ridiculous to have a law to make white folks fair when they don't know how because of their nature. Let's get real, Darwin theory of evolution is true, aliens walk this earth as mankind. Ms. O

Outstanding! I find your comments are right on target.
I simply could not find anything here to disagree with you
on? I know that may not be a good thing...but I will get over it.
You are quite popular on the Net, so many homepages list
your site as a link. I like the changes, and please keep the
music.
I really like the comments on abortion, this is the first
time I've heard the issue discussed with the male component introduced

introduced to show the weakness in the law. Until next time

I think this is a wonderful page. Very learning intensive
and historically thought provoking, also fun and caring.
I learned some things that I did not know that I would love
to share with my friends, family, and college professors.
I will definitely come back for more information, learning,
and fun...
Thank You Very Much!

I'm new to the internet experience. I have been madly crashing through trying to find interesting places. I find this site one of the best so far. It is beautifully realized and the content is actually worth reading. I hope to make visiting a regular event.

I'm surprised that you are holding up the information
contained in the book the Bell Curve to support your claim that
the right environment does not make a difference...that a
black person, according to the studies you cite, is inferior.
for every study you use to show that some races are genetically
inferior, there are many more to show that you are wrong.
I must give you credit for expounding racist dogma and making
it appear that you are basing your opinions on scientific
evidence.

Shame on you.

REPLY: I don't often reply to people's comments, but this guy completely missed the point.
I think MindStation X disproves racist theories of racial superiority/inferiority.
I include such racist theories here in order to debate them in the open.

The Enlightened Man

The heavenly body floats above the earth.
Many men had given their lives to reach it.
Many men had faltered...

The heavenly dream looms in all minds.
Many men had sold their souls in seeking them.
Many men had failed..

The heavenly queen sits upon a throne.
Many men had spent their wealth for her hand.
Many men had lost...

The earthly one has all the above.
Many man had turned their backs in vanity.
But many men had wondered...

The enlightened path leads to it all.
One man had offered his faith in finding peace.
One man had believed...

And on the Enlightened Path...

The weary traveller continues with...
A scope, to cherish the heavenly body,
A pillow, to enjoy the heavenly dream,
A smile, to greet the doubting men,

A basin, to bathe the heavenly queen,

And a gleam in his eye,

To shine until this Man had lived.

Red Blood -

The heart pumps blood, and blood is red;

And the blood will change only once you’re dead;

But until that time, your’s and mine are much alike;

That makes me your brother, so upon me, why do you strike?;

Is it the God that I worship? Is it my skin’s shade?

Why do you strike me? Is this how the game is played?

Well, then I want no part of this wicked game;

I will not strike you back, for we are the same;

So, my brother, my sister, take my hand;

And we’ll live in peace, like the Lord has planned.

Man, I just got here. It's early Christmas morning and I'm away from home. I moved away to take a new job and it's the first time since college that I've been away and all I can say is that it's bittersweet. Anyway, I was browsing on the internet and thought I'd drop in here and check it out. I'm definately impressed with all of your views on life, sex, race, service as well as other topics. I'll definately be back and take another look around soon.

Love, Peace, and Soul.

College is a waste of time and money. Education should be left to ones self, on what subject one wishes to be educated. However, college teaches class with no necessary guide lines.

Hi Bill:

If you are real about yourself, you realize that in the grand scheme of things, we are inherently insignificant, BUT, as small as we are, we can still make a huge difference to other people.. And that is the wonderment of it all.

MindStation X is interesting. I thought of a link that you could put on your site that would probably interest many of your readers. It is for a site called Knowledge Products and it is at www.cassettes.com. They basically have audio cassettes narrated by famous people about great philosophers, political thoughts, economics, science, and more. You might want to check it out.

The universe as a backburner project. The creator had some important business elsewhere and left us in a big pot on the rear left burner,-the one that always starts smoking when you turn it on. In the stew, with us, are three other ingrediants. time,space,and puzzles to work on...

I really enjoyed the history section of your page, my sole question is...why aren't there any historical contributions by women listed on your page? A couple of easy ones to start with are Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, and Mary McLeod Bethune, but African American women, as well as all women of African descent, have contributed a great deal to this great history of ours.

Just my buck and a quarter's worth.

Peace, Brother...

Cecily

My answer: There are - under Black Inventors. Also, I'm looking for the more obscure references. I'll include whatever I can find.

Sister Cecily - It sounds like you know a lot about the history of African American women. If you want me, a black man, to write the history of black women in America, I will... but won't you be embarrassed that you didn't do it yourself?

Much love.
