Careful, that comment could be taken in two ways.

what you mean? (im an honestly, worried, way)

I don't get it...

[QUOTE=LightRaven]Still good to see you back mo :)


Anyway... the casual thread seems to be getting a bit too much spam ... page 38? Geez. So how about I start a random discussion on a serious topic.. that has nothing to do with bass. :D

Lets see. Ooo.. I know.. something that hits close to home for me... Inter-racial relationships. :)

I am in an inter-racial relationship. I am white, he is black. Now, to me, skin color and even cultural differences have never been an issue with me. I mean, first, I was raised in a city, went to school with all types of races (my brother used to make fun of me cause I had like.. 2 white friends)... and when I am with my BF, I see no difference. His skin color doesn't glare out at me as being wrong. Even when I see us in a reflection, hugging or something... it still doesn't glare out as "wrong" to me.

No one has said anything to us thus far... although a few times we've gotten a few weird looks. I mean.. I'm very pale, and he is pretty dark. :lol:

What are your thoughts? If you don't believe that races should mix, please provide your reasons why...

:)

Actually, the genetic code becomes stronger and we are immune to more things the more mixed together our races are.

And I'll be glad to take that boiler off your hands.

[QUOTE=moxshyfter]But, one observation I have made - you almost NEVER see a white guy dating a black girl. It's almost always a white girl and black guy.

White girls more open minded? Black women not attractive? What is it? :lol:[/QUOTE]


The latter.

I have several black friends who agree with me...and actually prefer white women...

Black women are often the stereotypical, loud, obnoxious, overweight, disgusting women. It's very rare to find one who looks good.

That being said, one of my good friends, who is white, has a black girlfriend, who is hot, and intelligent. Score for him.

Hey, i thuaght id make an appereance.......

Yea so hey, im getting a Fender P bass in about two weeks, im very happy, share the love.

Maybe I'm being daft... but he was talking about colour and you brought in niceness in a way which implied racism? Ah, I don't think you meant that, I'm probably inferring too much. Forget it.

:lol: x 3

I hate to say it, but I completely agree. But, I have a friend who is gay, straight, bi sexual, and then gay again on a regular basis, and he is white, but has had sex with black women and men. He prefers black people to white.

Maybe he just needs them "bigger" or something, I dunno...

Black women sometimes tend to have the "black men should be with black women" mind frame. They are brought up that way....

LR

Winter - Don't take any of this as racism. I have absolutely nothing against any colored people, or any non-colored people (at least, on a basis as shallow as skin color anyway). One thing I do hate though, is people that try to turn you into some offensive criminal for simply stating the facts. :evil:

:lol: j/k with yah man.

Lol... You know, in highschool there were quite a few black girls who were upset with me because my best friend was a black male. We weren't in a relationship (although, had both of us not been in a relationship, we would have most likely been together)... but there were some black girls who felt threatened by the fact that a black guy was best friends with a white girl.

On another point... black men tend to be attracted to the same types of white women, ones who are pretty fair, have a big *** and a big chest. They don't like skinny poles, and they don't like women who don't have a good amount of curves. On an observational note, I've seen them tend to go for the brunettes and red heads... and not blondes.

Big ***, big chest, red hair= thats me :cool:

I am hit on more times by black men and older men, then white guys. I have also found that black men are friendlier and less threatening when the hit on, or compliment a girl, then white guys.

True Examples:
Black Guys:
Hey, you have beautiful eyes.
Hi, sweetie, how are you?
etc.
I mean.. there is the occassional "**** baby you look fine" etc.. but compare that to this:

White guys:
I want to **** you in the worst way
(said to a male friend I was with) Yo, how much for the red head? (I was pissed!)
Can I eat you out? (this happened two weeks ago :eek: I didn't even know what to respond with!)

So... from my experience, the black guys who hit on me tend to be sweeter in the attempt.. and as you can see... the white guys can be down right nasty... O.o

LR

and now I must teach.... be back tonight guys... :wave:

:LR

buuh bye , and interesting story with the white guys.

interesting!

Not many black people around where i live at all. we have indian, asian, etc. but not black.

Could anyone answer this question for me as i didnt want to make a thread asking as people would nag saying 'but its a bass forum!'

anyway, i kind of want to start the trumpet to add to my bass and guitaring, what i'd like to know is whats it like to play, is it fun, what musical possibilities can i get out of it? (eg. can i play jazz, funk, ska, etc. from it) and where can i find the cheapest possible one (im UK) i dont mind second hand. Im looking at around 50 pounds for one.

thanks.

ps. hey LR ive never seen you before, i always wonder what certain people look like! gotta pic you could post?

meh trumpet is alright. i didnt like it but thats me , try one out before you commit though

right, well i dont know anyone that plays it. well theres one person from a local ska band, but i dont know him at all.

any ideas?

how do you actually play the trumpet? i thought there were only 3 'buttons'

there are and lots of possible fingerings for it
o o o
x x x
x o x
o x x
x x o
x o o
o x o

then you have partials , you change notes by changing fingerings and air pressure with your mouth.

tada!!! ive mastered the trumpet by just playing those on the desk!

(joke)

what you mean by changing fingering? and you mean the pressure of your mouth like witha kazoo, the way you play them?

fingerings are the "buttons" you are holding down and letting up. what i posted up there was a portion of a chromatic scale (showing all the possible fingerings in order)
o = leave that button up
x = push it down
ooo= c or g depending on the air pressure , and by air pressure i mean to change notes you either blow harder or lighter.

Wow.

I opened this page and it went down to Left Shoe's post and the first thing I saw was "fingerings are the 'buttons'"

Way to sound suggestive Left Shoe. :rolleyes: :p

so basically all there is is those 8 notes and the changed versions of them (from how hard you blow) ?

Ive found a forum, 8notes.com which may help me

(thanks for the help)

What kind of guy are you dating then, LR? There in lies The Mystery...
