"You're pretty, if you were just darker, I don't want no white women, you see me with a white woman it's because I'm holding her for the police"

"She was so ugly she looked like crime in her face"

"My great great great grandfather was the first black politician in Mississippi, he ran for the boarder"

Dude was the inspiration for comedians like Eddie Murphy.

Reply to comment by birdsneedkarmatoo in Mothers and wives of conscripts from Russian Far East to be sent to east of Ukraine by HarakenQQ

This is like the ancient days when Gallic and I think Germanic tribes would be bring their entire families to war, the wives would create a wall of carts and scream at their husbands to not retreat and give them emotional support. Against Caesar, it failed miserably, the soldiers tried to run, they were trapped by the carts and slaughtered in front of their families and then the families were enslaved. Moral the story, don't bring your family to a warzone.

Reply to Ancient Egyptian mummification was never intended to preserve bodies by IslandChillin

"Their reasoning? Both processes contained a similar ingredient: salt. The idea was that you preserve fish to eat at some future time," Price said. "So, they assumed that what was being done to the human body was the same as the treatment for fish."

What kind of proof is that? It even says in the next sentence they didn't use salt, but natron. This whole thing screams like a advertisement for the "Golden Mummies of Egypt" exhibit.
