I believe you are seeing things a bit out of context. In the first place, if we say as a fact that the Third Reich ended-up killing six million assorted peoples, then how is the swastika more of a "h

What would you tell him if he came in with a Clenched Fist over "Black Power", or a portrait of Che Guevara? How about "Viva la Raza"? Would those be racist too? Maybe a nice solid black Hammer and

Lemme know if you'd like to get together. CTC is pretty central in the city, we could run up there or whatever. Get a date and save a buck, Nick, Mario, Mike, any of the guys there are definitely top-shelf.

I thought Dan S was a Republican and that we "shared a moment" when we were complaining about welfare recipients about a month ago in a thread.

Shows what I know. He traded stories during Happy Hour with every influential non-White since 1962.

Did you ever share some rum with Vijay Singh while Elijah Muhammed smoked a briar pipe and told you who REALLY killed Malcolm X? What a turn of events!

I'm just kidding. Those are some cool stories. I was only breakin' balls.

Actually, I'm so Republican I tripped on my own brain-happens when you grew up in the sixties and seventies. I said I shared some wine with Chi Chi Rodriguez, and that would have been rough, cause I doubt the Secret Service would have let me near him. What I meant to write before I brain-farted was Cha Cha Jimenez, who was the main shot-caller of the Young Lords at the time. My sister had an apartment at Halsted and Wisconsin, right where People's Park was, and the Young Lords were the only ones who would patrol the streets there. Got to know him fairly well.

Abbie Hoffman was, IMHO, a spoiled rich kid dabbling in leftist politics, tho' he did come up with a few phrases I remain fond of, most notably, "no matter which way you tip a pyramid, there will still be a point on the top, so the the only way to get rid of the ruling elite is to blow the top off."

The Panthers I met at their headquarters in Maywood, a.k.a. "Murderwood" around Chicago, and while I was by no means buds with them, I did hang around enough to get in on more than one bull session about politics and race-relations, as it is called now. In later years, I would come to know several lower-ranking members very well. Most of them were bank-robbers and thieves, dope-fiends and killers, who had a cause. Which one justified which, I don't know or care.

I did go to hear the Honorable Elijah Muhhamed speak once, at the Mosque Maryam, in about 1973. It was quite an experience to be, I guess, the only White in a hall of several thousand blacks, and to listen to the Honorable Minister call for the death of all "White Devils" Wouldn't have missed it for the world.

And Malcom X? Everyone knows Brother Malcolm got sideways with the other Brothers in his Mosque...

I guess I did the same thing when I wrote it, kinda like the late, great (first) Mayor Daley said, "listen to what I mean, not what I said"!

Cha Cha was a decent guy...the YLO were not people to take lightly, but I personally never saw him go out of his way to jack-over someone just passing through. LAst I heard he was in Michigan doing gang intervention after some time of fighting "sleep with the sun and rise with the moon" syndrome.

      Tattoo anxiety

      By jdm · Posted

      Thanks. And u just made me laugh, I guess my comment sounded conceded, and I did not mean to sound that way. I guess I'm in freak out mode because it's so on display. I don't think anything will ever meet my expectations because of where it is. So on display. My friend is actually going to my tattoo guy BECAUSE of this tattoo. Removal is not an option. I wont do that. I do have crippling anxiety due to having multiple sclerosis. I'm overly critical of this tattoo. The design is a sun with sun rays  that wraps around and up over my shoulder and a lotus below it. I don't like flowers. Just lotuses. Haha. So it's not your typical flowers down the arm tattoo. It's actually a unique design. I love yoga and zen things although from my post...I don't sound so zen. Haha. I've been going thru it now since summer started. I would say it's going in a while. I wear it out, got a compliment from someone at the gas station, I just don't look at it myself with it. It makes my stomach sink. Like I ruined myself. I'm ocd about it. I continue to get tattoos tho. I dont want to be a lunatic over it either. I always said I would never tattoo my upper arms and I did. And for the life of me, can't figure out why I did that. I was living in the moment I guess. So, if the reality of the tattoo doesn't meet my expectations,  what do u do for that? Add to it? Thank you for responding to me. I appreciate it a lot. I feel like I lost my mind over thos. I just got another tattoo on my forearm, and love it, it's smaller. Maybe that's why. I don't know. I allowed thos to be placed somewhere I never wanted ot, I approved it loved it afterwards and now....maybe cause it's so on display. I'm not used to having such big visible tattoos. Like, why cant I just be cool about it. I LOVE tattoos.

      Tattoo anxiety

      "I'm very fit and complimented all the time how tone my arms are" So if you were fat and out of shape it would be OK?  🤣 Tattoo Anxiety is not unusual, but it really depends on how long it goes on for. Has it been weeks, months, years? You really don't have a lot of options. Despite what laser removal centers would have you believe, you'll never get totally rid of it. Any cover up will need to be even bigger and bolder, don't let any "artist" tell you differently.  Given the tone of your post, "I'm very fit and complimented all the time how tone my arms are," "My artist is extremely talented, there is not 1 shaky line, crooked line," "The line work is out of this workd, perfectly straight," "Everyone loves it" it sounds like the reality of the tattoo doesn't meet your expectations.

      Hello, So I'm new here and reddit is just awful people so, I wanted advice. So for some reason, I allowed a tattoo be blasted down my arm. My fault I know. I'm very fit and complimented all the time how tone my arms are. So, I got a sun over a lotus tattoo. My artist is extremely talented, there is not 1 shaky line, crooked line, and hes not cheap. Hes been tattooing me and my husband a long time. The line work is out of this workd, perfectly straight. Its a bold tattoo. All black. Everyone loves it. But for some bizzare reason, I can not look at myself in the mirror at this tattoo. Has this ever happened to anyone before? It's healed, but all I do is cover it and hide it. Has this happened to anyone? It turned out bigger and bolder than I ever imagined. From my shoulder to about 3 inches above my elbow.
