So... I guess that's a yes. ;)

(To )
who cares? we're all people... just people helping people...

(To bigmike)
I care, actually. That's why I asked.

(To )
Ehhh, the best part of the internet is "anonymity"... asking people to reveal who they are goes against that principle...

(To bigmike)
I don't recall asking people to reveal who they are. However, you seem to be pretty bothered by my asking the question at all.

(To )
well by asking "am i the only black person here?" pretty much asks people to reveal themselves... spend some time here and you'll see that it doesnt matter what background u are, as long as you contribute to the site

(To bigmike)
I think I understand how it "works" around here. I also think my point is valid. I'm sure you're a real BMOC around here, but isn't it possible a black person might ask a question another black person would do better to field?

(To )
now if i said that about white people, you'd have my head on a stick... and any reasonable answer can be found on google... its all good man... this site is more about movie times and directions... but u can ask whatever

(To bigmike)
That's both wrong AND interesting. If you asked are there any other white people on here I simply wouldn't have answered because I'm not -- no offense taken at all. If you asked 'does anyone know a good Italian-owned barbershop in my area from personal ex

(To )
-perience,' I would have done the same thing because I would imagine I'm not the best person suited to answer that. You seem to think race is about something arbitrary like a difference of color. It's not. It's about a difference in culture. Try to keep t

(To )
Try to keep that in mind before you come blasting next time.

(To )
no its more like, this site isnt like yahoo answers where the question sits for people to answer... mosio is about answering questions as fast as

(To )
possible... a culture question wont ever get answered properly cuz it needs to get answered within a few mins regardless of whether its a proper answer

(To )
and im not starting trouble... just letting you know that this is a "answer factory" and you wont get good answers on those questions... cuz more trouble than helping

(To bigmike)
"a culture question wont ever get answered properly cuz it needs to get answered within a few mins"

IT WOULD BY SOMEONE WITHIN THEIR CULTURE IF THEY ARE PRESENT.

(To )
Which is why I asked. See how that works?

(To )
and if nobody's present then whats the point???? we are definitely not on the same page here... so agree to disagree... have a nice night!

(To bigmike)
*sigh* If no one shares that cultural similarity w/ me then I will know Mosio might not be able to help if, e.g., I’m out w/ my cousin & she needs to find someone skilled who can do her daughter’s locs nearby.

(To )
If there ARE people who share that cultural similarity with me then I will try join their qniverse so I can lend my help as well.

(To )
So the point is... none of this has anything to do with you. I bet it’s what irked you in the first place. Clearly YOUR heritage has you thinking everything revolves around you or you’re gonna cry & scream reverse racism.

(To )
You could have minded your own biz from jump but chose to show your ass instead.
But thanks for answering my question to the UTMOST, playgirl! ☺

(To )
Uhhh jackass, I was just pointing out the fact that you won't get great answers to cultural questions due to the facts i already stated... based on my knowledge of the site and what i've seen here...

(To )
Mosio is great for movie times, random trivia, weather, and other facts, but not very good for open-ended or opinionated

(To )
questions due to the fact that there isnt a lot of answerers yet who might not be in the same locale as others... but give it a shot and you might be surprised... we got some google-ers here who can find reviews on anything

(To )
and i wont even touch your ignorant comments about MY heritage... life's too short to get into a pissing match about that shit... happy Mosio-ing!

(To )
here its people helping people. I CAN find someone to do her `loc's if its on the net I can find it. I've found religious answers as well as political questions for people I don't share those things in common. Collective wisdom and knowledge is a strong t

(To )
tool. Try me, ask something "cultural" and see what you get.
Online, you are nothing but a handle, a nickname, an avatar. No matter how hard you cling to your ethnicity, here it doesn't count.

(To bigmike)
WOW, I would have to say that spidey tends to side on the racist side of things. Shame on Spidey...Reminds of the rodeo360 crap we put up with, minus the racism...:(

(To bigmike)
Even her description is racist, "seeking gold and slaves" crap, gimme a break. Maybe I should start pushing my honky ass opinions in everyones faces...~White is the new minority~ Z-Snap

(To bigmike)
Seriously, I asked if there were other users of my heritage. Would it have killed you to just move along since you're not? Answer: Yes.

(To bigmike)
And by the way, I never suggested an open-ended or opinionated question. I think asking one about their service experience with professional is no different than asking what online travel service people use. You didn't seem to mind offering your 2¢ about

(To modcom)
The quote, modcom, is from Jack Handey, a friend and mentor. Perhaps you've heard of SNL or satire. I'm not sure why you'd see me as racist for wanting to ask someone with black hair about what they know about locticians nearby. But believe me, I understa

(To )
You really don't understand. You've been here all of a month. You are now officially the most prejudicial person I know on Mosio. We don't care what you think, we never did. This isn't a place to spew your racist crap. Go write a blog.

(To )
Its offensive of you to have asked.

(To )
its a free interwebz dude...

(To Mangangali)
I wasn't aware I was clinging to my ethnicity by HAVING SOME. Clinging would suggest I was holding on for dear life. I don't have to. It's mine, I own it.

(To Mangangali)
If this hadn't been blown into such outrageous proportions I'd have assumed that there aren't and not used it as a source for those kinds of questions. Instead I was greeted with antagonism.

(To )
But you are, if you weren't you'd have let this escalate.

(To )
And my point is that ANYONE can answer that question if the info is available on the internet... yelp.com, google, citysearch, all have reviews for ANYTHING

(To )
relax, chica. that antagonism started only after you attacked bigc about reverse racism and "showing his ass" it was civil before that. Modcom defended someone that he knows and in his community to a mere stranger.

(To Mangangali)
You're right. I FORCED bigcastoro into responding to a question with antagonism. I'll tell you what. You've not only answered my question, you've explained WHY there are no other people of color. Including me. You may delete my account and have your preci

(To )
LOL run away then, use your shield, no one else here did

(To )
Is the view good from up there on your high horse?

(To )
not forced, but baited, you could have just as easily ignored any response, but you took offense and responded back

(To )
you dont even read what people are writing to you... i'm trying to explain the site to you and you're looking for some racist argument...

(To bigmike)
and if not on the internet, then why waste people's time in asking, there's only 30-something people regularly answering questions and not everyone lives in the same area and goes to the same places

(To modcom)
LOL @ You are now officially the most "prejudicial" person I know on Mosio.

That's so hilarious, I'll wear that badge with honor.

(To )
Wow, you wear a badge of shame as a badge of honor...U R seriously screwed up...Really don't need people like you to converse with. ..

(To Mangangali)
My shield? WTF? You know what? I showed this thread to some other black ppl and they gave me an interesting piece of advice. If you look up Narcissistic Personality Disorder you will find everything you need to know about these kinds of racist sociopaths.

(To Mangangali)
"you could have just as easily ignored any response, but you took offense and responded back"

As did you apparently.

(To )
never said I was bright. I stand what I stand for -shrug-

(To Mangangali)
"Is the view good from up there on your high horse?"

Pretty good. How's the view from down there in the shit?

(To )
Actually sounds like you. I took a few psychology courses :). Yes shield "you proved my point so I'm leaving" sounds like I'm taking my ball and going home.

(To )
wow, you seriously have some problems... you need to wake up and check out the world... its kind of a nice place if you want it to be

(To Mangangali)
"I stand what I stand for -shrug-"

Right. And I shouldn't?

(To )
And now we're on to cussing, can't keep it civilized? lol is alright I'm used to cleaning up other people problems

(To )
But did you show this thread to your asian friends?

(To Mangangali)
"sounds like I'm taking my ball and going home."

Why? Should I stick around and play with racists? Having taste doesn't imply being a quitter, my dear.

(To Mangangali)
"But did you show this thread to your asian friends?"

I did actually! They asked why anyone would bother with this concept when most people can surf the net on their phone.

(To )
simple, even with 3g, I'm still a faster search engine then any phone.

(To )
My dear, if've you've been online for any period of time you'd know. That communication isn't about what you say, its about how you say it. Online, there are no cues to such things as inflection, and etc.

(To Mangangali)
"And now we're on to cussing, can't keep it civilized?"

Wasn't bigcastoro calling me a jackass cussing too? Or is that like some people "find" and others "steal?"

(To )
AFTER you said he was showing his ass :) Have I cussed? nope, I'm holding all of ya'll to the same standard

(To Mangangali)
"simple, even with 3g, I'm still a faster search engine then any phone."

First question I asked was answered in 3+ hours. I ended up finding the answer on my phone. Just ask Amber!

(To )
lol that was 3am in SF, modcom wasn't up until then look at the logs, when no one is on, or simply we can't find an answer the questions stay up there

(To )
there are no incentives for anyone to answer any questions. we do just because we want to.

(To Mangangali)
"lol that was 3am in SF"

And I never complained. I'm simply supporting the views of several of my "asian friends."

(To Mangangali)
"there are no incentives for anyone to answer any questions. we do just because we want to."

As have I.

(To )
you're complaining now. LOL. and thats the thing, I don't have asian friends or black friends or indian friends. I have friends. Race isn't an issue for me, never has been, we all bleed red.

(To Mangangali)
and beer

(To Mangangali)
"Race isn't an issue for me, never has been, we all bleed red."

Well I'll tell that to my cousin next time she's looking for beautician. *sigh* How can I reach theeese keeeeeds?

(To modcom)
mmmm beer, n pot roast

(To modcom)
especially after this past weekend...

(To )
she doesn't have one she goes to regularly (just my experience that women tend to go to the same hair/nail people) Unlike me, go whereever is closest.

(To )
yea salons and hair places thrive on word of mouth... i wouldnt trust a barber that someone told me was good on the internet...

(To Mangangali)
She's just moved into the area. Sorry for not checking with you first.

(To )
now we are trying to help, and you're still looking for a fight?

(To )
ooo more passive aggressive hostility wonderful. a simple "no" would have sufficed. but if you are looking for that kind of direction, may I suggest a recruiter?

(To bigmike)
she go bye bye, I win!

(To Mangangali)
haha well it looks like i was talking to a ghost for the last few days... peace out spiderlegs...

(To bigmike)
