Thirty-five years ago, Karen and I got married. We’re still married. Karen is Caucasian, aka, White. I’ve variously been known as Negro, Nigra, Colored, Black, Afro-American, African-American, Alkebulanian (in 1973, as I recall), Nigger, Nigguh, and Splib. Back in the day, like pre-1960s, I was called “shit-colored,” by the other Splibs, because of my brown skin. You know, we can call each other Splib and shit-colored (Don’t YOU, though!! 😡)
My marriage to Karen was a huge relief to Karen’s mom, Ruth (whom I call “Moms”), because Moms had been deathly afraid that Karen might grow up and marry a Jewish person. Moms was not racist, really. Unfortunately, she was a product of a time when Jewish people had been vilified, even in the United States, by both Catholics and Protestants, as “Christ killers.” There’s no offense on my part to Jews when I say that I’m quite delighted that Mom’s fear for her daughter centered on Jews, not on us shit-colored Splibs. (Does anyone know the origin of the word Splib? 🤔)

My brother-in-law (of course) is White. He’s cool. The main thing that he and I have in common is that we are both Conservatives. In human relations, though, I suppose I would have to call myself a liberal.
I think that the first time I realized that I was liberal, human-relations-wise, was when I first saw Sophia Loren. There was something that seemed very………liberal about her. She appeared to be awash in liberality. And I found her liberality to be extremely attractive. (for some reason).
Over the decades, I have often pondered over the belief, taught by the now-deceased founder of the Nation of Islam (more popularly known as the Black Muslims), Elijah Muhammad, that “The White man is the Devil.”
Well, I suppose it can be admitted that Sophia Loren might look, or be, a bit devilish, figuratively speaking. Personally, I think it’s ok to be a little devilish sometimes. We can call it……..playful. Doesn’t she look like she could be VERY playful?
I read, in history, that Hannibal marched all the way from North Africa, somehow, to Italy with his soldiers. Sophia Loren is from Italy. I’m told that Hannibal was Black. In fact, there’s a movie coming out through Netflix. It stars Denzel Washington as Hannibal.
Could Sophia Loren have some African blood inside of her somewhere, from one of Hannibal’s soldiers, who, when he saw Italian women, simply refused to go back to North Africa? Hey, it’s possible. As Rod Keithly said, when two cultures meet, they might not always bleed, but they will always breed. Sophia Loren, in her prime, looked quite breedable (or is it breedy?). Wouldn’t you agree?
Well, anyway, if Sophia Loren has any Black blood inside of her, what percentage of Black blood would disqualify her from being White? I find this to be a VERY important question to be answered. Since, according to Elijah Muhammad, the White man is the Devil, if Sophia Loren has any Black blood in her, well, I would think that she does not qualify for Devilhood, or Devilship, according to what I assume to have been Elijah Muhammad’s standards.
Hey!!! I just thought of something! When Elijah Muhammad said that the White man is the Devil, could he have meant the White MALE? You know, not the white RACE, as a whole, but just the White MALE, not the White FEMALE. White males don’t seem to be too popular these days, what with White females calling them “toxic.” (HEY!!! My brother-in-law AIN’T toxic!!! 😡🤬) I need to talk to Farrakhan. (I gotta get this shit straightened out. Maybe he’ll give Sophia a pass).
