Ebony has a kinda 'chewing' action going on? Like she opens he rmouth and shuts it like she's chewing (like those laughing clowns at the fair but faster), she has her toungue between her gums...whats she doing? | Is she on solids? If so, she is probably just excersicing her jaw - all these newfound reflexes and sensations are exciting when your 5 months old lol.
If she isn't on solids, it could be an indication she is ready
ETA: Teething rusks would be perfect to give her now. They are really good because they teach baby to hold their food and they are good for jaw development. | How are things like BET, Ebony, Black award shows, black scholarships and affirmative action not racist? I am not racist (at all), I just really don't get this. Maybe it is just my "white" point of view, and if it is, maybe you can help me understand. To me these things would be racist if reversed, so I don't see how it is different. If I were black, I would be offended if someone thought I only made it to college because of the color of my skin (affirmative action) and not because I worked my butt off. Especially nowadays. Black people, white people, hispanic people- you name it- we are all smart and while there are less intelligent people in every race (because color doesn't affect that), we all have the privilege to attend college if we work for it.
Same goes for black history month. i learned about important black people in history, right along with white people, but not because we had a month devoted to it- we just did. i'm irish and although we weren't slaves, we were treated like trash when we immigrated over here. i don't need a month. to me, this type of thing is what seperates blacks from whites. instead of saying we are all equal, we are saying "we are not, so let's have our own month and our own tv to try and raise awareness" i don't know, i just don't think it's a good way to go about it. i, personally, don't care what color someone is- i have friends and family from most races- i just don't like segraegation from any side of any type.
anyway, sorry- can you help me see another side of this? | I agree- Racism is still racism, no matter which race it's "aimed" at.
Scholarships that are given only to those of specific races...
Hiring practices that are designed to reduce the chances of some because of their race...
Government stipends given only to those of a certain heritage...
I truly hope for the day that color, genetic heritage mean nothing, when personal achievement and skill, one's own effort mean everything. | How much can I sell a used 2007 les paul studio ebony for? Good condition, great action. | | You can try posting up the details on Ebay or Auction-USA for a ballpark figure. | Is affirmative action bad for America? "Affirmative action is also a big factor behind the higher than average drop-out rate among blacks in colleges and universities. In the California UC system, only 7.2% of minorities admitted under "special criteria" (code for affirmative action) graduated in four years, and less than 50% in six years. "White or other" students graduated at rates of 34.1% and 77.6%, respectively. This is the sports equivalent of athletes who could perform at the AA level, struggling at AAA ball. And those who could perform well at AAA, failing in the major leagues."
"South African President Nelson Mandela speaks out against "a culture of entitlement" and warns of "false prophets who seek to perpetuate the apartheid divisions and imbalances of the past, by presenting affirmative action as a program intended to advantage some and disadvantage others on the basis of race and color." Significantly, South Africa does not have public sector affirmative action."
"Ebony" magazine ran a series called "If I Were Young Today," in which older black achievers gave advice to black youth. Their advice was straightforward, their optimism striking. Work hard, get an education, don't blame others, your time is now. The great civil rights and union leader A. Phillip Randolph said, "[Black] youth must offer the future the same things that white youth offer and they must have the faith that there is no basic racial difference in potential for achievement -moral, intellectual, or spiritual. The future holds great opportunity for those who are prepared to meet and face the challenge of this age of science, technology and industrialism and social, economic and political change."
Oh, the year of this "Ebony series"? 1963. | The answer below is one I have written to a Yahoo question similar to yours:
Of course affirmative action is wrong for America. One should not water down the standards of any institution, whether educational or professional, just to allow a certain number of one disenfranchised group in over another. Acceptance, ideally, should be based on merit solely.
People want affirmative action because, supposedly, it ensures that inequalities doesn’t exist in hiring practices in the work place and in acceptance standards in institutions of learning. The exact opposite is true. Affirmative action actually does discriminate heavily against those who are qualified, for the sake of those who beg for pity. All it ensures is ethnically diverse mediocrity and incompetence.
Keep in mind that I am as brown as they come. So this is not coming from a disgruntled white man
Its interesting that you noted the year of the Ebony magazine edition. I wonder in this age of political correctness, where we bend over backwards not to offend anyone, whether Ebony would be willing to vocalize this message of self-reliance. | Repainting old piano ebony sharps? Hi I resoting my piano by my self and Ive learned how to tke the action out I have replaced the piano ivory key tops with ackrillic and now I need to repaint my black ebony wood key sharps... How do you paint the sharp keys and what do you use? | | Buy a set for $40 or $50 and replace the old ones. You'll need a razor saw to cut the old ebonies off the key sticks. Prep the wood surfaces well. | Question: i am addicted to ebony gay porn..? but I am a female!!! Every day, I go to get my internet "fix" (check out the name...and no this isn't an ad for this website) and have purchased a couple of dvd's as well. The DVD's were okay, but didn't get played more than once before i tossed them. The more anal action, men being "broken in" and when i see that they are enjoying it and not just going throught the motions, the more turned on I get!! Is it weird for me to get off so much on ebony gay porn (regular porn does nothing for me, nor does lesbian porn)? | | i do not know girl. I have the same problem. We should start a support group with just us two. I love gay porn!!!!! | Affirmative action? in another question of mine, another person's answer made me think of this question:
If YOU believe in affirmative action, should the action stop when employee percentages equal societies percentages?
What about professional sports (it is a paying job too)?
Should blacks be limited to 14-18% of the participants?
and what about college scollarships? (Force academic schollarships to equal the general public, what about sports scollarships?)
ethnic groups are not regulated as to there size nor their location, so why try to FORCE every quantifiable segment of society to mirro the society as a whole?
for every EBONY and JET magazine, should we have IVORY, PEARL, LINNEN, SNOW, CLOUD and another 28 magazines dedicated to our 'racial' group? (thus equality is again balanced) | Here's the crux of it: Nobody wants equality. Everybody wants superiority.
Let's take for example... That's why men hate feminists. They say they feel threatened, because women want to be better than men, that is, to have more privileges than responsibilities. The truth is that men, likewise, want to be in higher standing than women, also. Nobody would mind having more privileges than responsibilities, or being in the dominant group. So it's always a battle for social standing. The ideal of equality is a balance between opposing forces, but it is highly unstable and not likely to ever exist.
I gave the example of men and women, because it is usually less offensive (relatively speaking) than race, but I believe the same battle goes for the races. Nobody really wants equality, and it is just a nice way of putting the following statement, "I want more than I have currently," and it is less offensive if you really do have less than someone else... but if you have more, you don't want to give it up, and so you may try to silently preserve your position.
I do not believe it is something unique to the race or the gender, though. If the positions were completely reversed, where the dominant became the subordinate, and the subordinate became the dominant, it would still run the same way. The subordinate would fight to become the dominant, and the dominant would attempt to preserve its position.
It may sound bad, but we have to strive to become more, or else there would be no progress. It just depends upon the way you act on it. I just feel like, if you want to have a superior position... Earn that position, and you will benefit others. Expecting to have it handed to you for doing nothing special means that you contribute nothing in return. So I would support affirmative action, only if the people benefitting from it actually worked for their position - such as going to college to earn a degree for the job that they are seeking, if other applicants have done the same. | Why do people always relate dating an ebony man to sex? I wish I could ask this on an all female board because it's mainly a female thing. I've been with my boyfriend a while now, he's ebony as I like to say. Everytime someone finds out it's always "Ooooh alright, no wonder you been happy in the morning", "How big is it", "Decided to get some action huh", "So how is he"?. How is he what...as a good man? You know what I mean, ect. First off, I'm not going to tell a friend what my sex life is like. Never brag to your friends about how good your sex life is...all of a sudden your friends will want to be his friend. Secondly, if you want to find out what the sex is like with an ebony man then date one instead of always chatting about it. Third, even though that's not why Im with him, even if it was so what. Men date women for lust all the time over personality.
I mean I'm not going to lie or bs, now that I've been with him I can understand a little bit but do people actually think that would be the ONLY reason a woman dates an ebony man? I'm not going to marry a man just because he can guarantee an orgasm, anybody can get a vibrator. | | hahahaha its that big mutombo d*** | Why do people always relate sex to dating an ebony man?

If anybody asks you can simply say it is too personal and I do not like to reveal secret of such personal matters as it will be more charming if remains between two of us. | Would ebony black hair look weird if it was dyed this color? www.google.com/m/search?q=jessica… | | there are several different shades in those pictures. if you go with the darker shades it will look best because your hair is so dark. |
