When every stinkin' waking moment is focused on skin color, does that have any impact on shortening one's life duration? Just wondering.

I’m a “white guy”. I don’t cooperate with the Valentine Day scam; and, my wife thinks that is pretty smart.

Here’s an idea: How about ANYONE who cannot provide for his family should not spend money on Valentine’s Day. geeezz

Wonder how much money is spent on that other made up holiday, what’s it called, kwanzza?
To: Libloather
Why does every little stinking thing have to be about race?
Valentine's Day is a crock of crap no matter what color your skin is.
And you know what, if a woman is only impressed with how much you spend on her, dump her sorry rear end and find someone else.

I think ALL men should. I really am sick and tired of this manufactured ‘holiday’. I’ve been with my wife for 27 years and we’ve stood by each other through thick and thin...we don’t need Hallmark to tell us when it’s time to express our love for each other.

does that have any impact on shortening one's life duration?I would imagine since it is continual anger. But waking up every day blaming everything on color gives a certain number of drones a reason to exist for their shorter life span.

How very racially exclusive of you! Are they really “brothers and sister”? Or is it just because they’re “black” as you say? Too bad we’re not just all Americans. I’m so tired of that “Black brothers and sisters” crap. Now, I’ll be called a racist.

My belief? African Americans may want to consider letting go of Valentine's Day, at least the over-commercialized part of it. For women, I suggest that you make a deal with your man: tell him that you don't want him to spend very much money on you -- but what he doesn't spend in money, he must overcompensate for with time and affection. Your man will appreciate you letting him off the hook and he will hopefully return the favor by giving you a level of loyalty he wouldn't be willing to give to anyone else. Being a true partner in love means helping your partner become stronger, not becoming yet another drain on their resources. By getting away from models of romantic interaction that become nothing more than economic exchanges, millions of members of the black community can find everlasting love. That's good advice for anybody regardless of skin color.
I have to wonder if this dim bulb author things tight finances happen only to black people. Like one dude said "I see a lot more black people driving white Cadillacs than I see white people driving black Cadillacs." Why is that?

Unfortunately the opposite sex has a different opinion, or this thing would not fly.

Just make sure I’m understanding this correctly: so black people are the only ones struggling to make ends meet & pay the bills, right? Oh....in that case, we should all protest that evil whitey holiday known as Valentine’s day.
Please. Who is dumb enough to think like this?
To: Fiddlstix
Dang! I wish I'd known that 50 years ago. I Sure could've saved a bunch of money.Having a wife who doesn't expect me to break the bank on frivolous crap is a great bless for which I thank the Almighty LORD every single day... multiple times if I piss her off!

Black family wealth is, according to recent estimates, as low as one-fiftieth that of white families, and millions of African Americans are facing bankruptcy, foreclosure and other forms of economic devastation.
Utter hogwash. Thinking like a victim will make it so.

Should Muslims who decry Valentine’s day who also decry love, join with the blacks...in other words sounds to me like they are targeting to blacks to forego Valentine’s day....But then I just learned about 2 years ago, blacks try to only shop at black owned businesses!
