Yea, right, Tonya. Our delicious soul food is what is ruining our health, And empathy doesn't seem to characterize the black middleclass or black conservatives, according to certain people.

No, Tonya, I was just challenging your choices since you felt the need to contradict my opinion about us blacks not being African.

Even though I feel that we are, I didn't say we're African...that’s not what I wrote so I didn't contradict you. Now! Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

But you implied that my opinion was invalid and did it in a separate post in bold letters, Tonya. And unless I wanted to choke, there's no way I'd smoke that BS you just spouted. And the next time you ask people to list things, keep your editorializing out of their choices. So tell me,will you be starting any more threads about the privileges of light-skinned people for the perusal of all of us tribal offenders??? snicker.

It ain't even worth looking up the word "perusal." YOU ain't worth it. So choke on the crack of my ass.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/perusal

pe·rus·al [puh-roo-zuhl] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun 1. a reading: a perusal of the current books.
2. the act of perusing; survey; scrutiny: A more careful perusal yields this conclusion.

[Origin: 1590–1600; peruse + -al2] Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.1)
Based on the Random House Unabridged Dictionary, © Random House, Inc. 2006.

American Heritage Dictionary - Cite This Source pe·ruse (pə-rōōz') Pronunciation Key
tr.v. pe·rused, pe·rus·ing, pe·rus·es
To read or examine, typically with great care.

[Middle English perusen, to use up : Latin per-, per- + Middle English usen, to use; see use.]

pe·rus'a·ble adj., pe·rus'al n., pe·rus'er n.
Usage Note: Peruse has long meant "to read thoroughly" and is often used loosely when one could use the word read instead, as in The librarians checked to see which titles had been perused in the last month and which been left untouched. Seventy percent of the Usage Panel rejected this example in our 1999 survey. Sometimes people use it to mean "to glance over, skim," as in I only had a moment to peruse the manual quickly, but this usage is widely considered an error. In a 1988 survey, 66 percent of the Panel found it unacceptable, and in 1999, 58 percent still rejected it.
