Yes - from what I have read, there is an underlying pathology for let's say a young white girl only dating black men, and black men only having emotionless sexual hookups with white women. There is a lot of absentee father issues with black males, who end up repeating the cycle with their own kids. They just seem to want to have as much sex as possible, then not deal with the children that result - until they get old enough to go hang out with and hit on other girls together. Of course, the black men want to have nothing to do with their own daughters, because they really don't see women other than their own mothers as anything other than someone to screw. Rap culture seems to celebrate the whole racist misogynistic, bootie-shaking culture. And now rich white men make billions off selling it to young white kids as the latest cool thing. > > To break it down to simple terms, you have a situation where, for > example, a white girl sees a black man ONLY because he is black, not > because of who he is, and not because she is attracted to black men. > It's a case of the boy from the wrong side of the tracks taken to > extremes.

I agree - she should be getting off the sauce ASAP. One of the problems is that the colleges are as much at fault as anyone else is. They should be having a zero tolerance policy and lock up anyone who sells or provides alcohol to someone who is underage. The alcohol industry makes about half it's money selling to adults with drinking problems and all underage drinkers. So don't buy into the bullshit about how the alcohol industry encourages legal & moderate drinking. They wouldn't be making half their profits if it wasn't for alcoholics and underage kids. > >> What her friends and acquaintances notice depends on when they met her. If a >> person knew her before her troubles, they should notice a change in behavior. The same people don't see her all that often. I was about the only person last year and the first half of this year who saw her often enough to know what was going on. I think it was a strategy on her part to not let anyone get close enough to know or see that she had these problems. And of course now she is lying to the abusive black male about many things so that she can keep up the facade to have access to the alcohol that he can provide her. >> >> If a person met her during a transition, that person may or may not notice a >> change in her behavior. >> >> If a person met her yesterday, that person would only know her from yesterday >> and probably would not notice a change. >> >> I'd give 50/50 odds of either way. >> >> Nancy |
