... the other Black experience
^^^ agreed on opinions & a-holes; everybody got one. On the 'billionaire' tip...
I guess I / we were kind of correct:

...at the same time ain't a hater and nor do I think Facebook will never rise as stock. I just think the hype did them in slightly where folks didn't hock Mom's hierlooms to get a share of FB in the IPO. I agree with what analysts have said that FB will become more powerful by buying other emerging tech companies like Google & Yahoo do. The purchase of Instagram is step that way if they find a way to compete with Snapfish & Photobucket.
Still, with nearly a billion users & pages they have value. Time will show just much that is. They ain't Microsoft or Apple yet.

= I don't fully see the hype on the coming Facebook IPO. The large banks & investment houses will eat up any real worthwhile stock in the beginning. Sounds like a bunch of hype but I understand that's how the market goes. Hype often makes $$$ in the stock market.
Just for the record, I don't own stock one in anything or have any true financial knowledge. Just from what I've heard from others who have more education and experience in the stock market, these major IPO's (initial public offerings; where stock shares in a company are placed on the open market for sale, please correct me if I'm wrong) are hype that the small investor won't see much profit investing in unless they somehow buy mad shares.
All I know from consumer perspective is that Facebook has yet to issue any real functional products outside of it's site. As compared to Apple & Google with their computers, music players & services, searches, apps, etc. Not as if Facebook is done and can't do anything new but Apple corp leads in innovation and Google is real progressive in the net era. Facebook is banned in schools & workplaces while every school and work site searches Google for info and use Ipads for lessons (just started in my school). Shoot, Myspace was the social network leader until Facebook came along so something could bump them too.
Please feel free to tell me why I'm wrong if I am, all you business wizards. If so, let's pool some green together and buy one share of FB stock and uh, get rich.
I think I might have posted this before but seeing it again reminded me...
= If Mexicans and other Hispanic/Latino peopleare doing the majority of the landscaping, construction, labor, domestic, etc. work in a certain area then labor companies owned & ran by Mexicans should be getting the work contracts are hiring theses folks & taking care of their benefits (if applicable) . I see white folks hiring people that very often are probably from Mexico are other spanish-speaking areas and that money should be going to entrepeneurs who are from similar backgrounds. Don't be late to the game like we often are.

Yeah, yeah, on the beach, watching track and field, sure. But the daily walking down the street - what the fuck?!! Show what you got!! I'm not saying that men should walk around with their dicks out (well that wouldn't be too bad, since so many walk around with they ass out). I'm just saying equal time to see SOMEthing would be nice. Show us what you're packin!! Then when I talk to you, I can look down, too, just like so many men have done to me and countless other women. Let me size you up, literally. LOL!!!

= That dude with the prosthetic legs in the Olympics should not be allowed to compete with regularly qualified runners. It's a mockery of the Games and actually they're mocking that dude; look at little peg legs go! heeheehee... The prosthetics probably give him an unfair advantage with lighter, quicker limbs that never suffer bone or muscle damage or need to be stretched or conditioned.
When I ran track in middle & high school, you would be disqualified immediately if you used improper equipment or wore improper shoes, spikes or uniform. He should be totally disqualified for regular events or they are opening a pandora's box of controversy. I've trained students for the Special Olympics and the officials & participants take it seriously, that's where those specific athletes and events should be run.

I hear the collective sigh of all the racist white guys posting on CNN "Damn we are sure glad that we have someone we can cheer for. I couldn't stand seeing that little nigger take another sport from us!"
Just wait. Her endorsement's are about about to dwindle and those $3mill contracts are going to be looking like $1mill contracts real soon.
^^^ I hope not and if repped right, she should still cash in well, I heard the Wheaties box is already done. Her agent needs to make sure she milks mainstream (white) and ethnic/international marketing opportunities. Set her up on dates with celebs and all that craziness that keeps you in the public eye like Serena Williams.
What mystfies me is ridiculous hobby horse dick-riding of Michael Phelps. No doubt he deserves props for earn all he did but the level of sweat the sportscasters throw, "the greaest Olympian of all time", hunh? Over Bruce Jenner? Carl Lewis? Smells of a corporate set-up where they all have invested big in him and plan on getting paid. I understand but get off his chlorinated nuts.
Permalink Reply by Compound Egret on Check Phelps' gold medal count. 18 vs. Lewis' 10 and Jenner's 1. It's not his fault he's not the most charismatic dude dominating a not so exciting sport. I didn't watch any of the swimming so I didn't hear anyone gushing over him. The pundits were definitely doing that with Jordyn Weiber though.
I think the internet killed watching the olympics for me this year. Every time I turned on the TV, NBC had the most boring sports televised and every time I logged on, all the results from the sports I actually wanted to watch that for some reason NBC put on their cable channel or late at night were right there. Couple that with being able to just search through the photo archives for pics of smokin' olympians like Brigitte Foster-Hylton and Nevin Yanit, and hella time was freed up. Thanks Al Gore.
This was all that really mattered this Olympics:
They plundered the precious metals, uh medals like the europeans had stolen from them (and probably did). Gold, silver & bronze in the 200m? Call them Pirates of the Caribbean in the reparations run. Screw the queen's jubilee, this is how celebrate the 50th anniversary of freedom from British rule.
(stolen from Bill Maher, shhh...)
= New Rule: All African-Americans claiming to be part "Indian" must now submit documented proof. If you are "part Indian on my mama's side, dat's where i got dis curly hair from.." then prove it through naming the exact nation that your "Indian"/1st Nation lineage comes from. Prove that ain't just hot-combed Carefree Curl...
Folks are throwing out the exotic-mixed-part-Indian card there and reaping all the ooo's & aaahhs without proper payment. And the Indians are pissed off. I spoke to Chief Runnin' Bullchips and he said he wants y'all negroes to stop. Y'all didn't stomp no Trail of Tears, y'all niggaz ain't real. If you ain't walked a mile in his moccasins, you can't reap the benefits.
So you came from the nation / continent of "Black", cool but borrrriiinnng. Well are you from India? Or are you Cherokee (disqualified, too general)? Blackfoot? Seminole? Nez Perce'? Mohegan? Taino? Azteck? Towanda? Watsikah? Tuskaroarah? Come on fam, make it authentic! You'll never be harrassed again. Imagine how hip you'll sound saying "I'm Black, Irish, Russian and Arapaho?
See how much cooler that sounds? Don't half-step, be a REAL genuine exotic negro, ladies & gents and claim you're dubious Indian heritage now!
