  1. From a satellite.
  2. This one is no joke. Los zapatos antivirus para cumplir con el distanciamiento
  3. I know several escorts who follow Republican conventions and big events.
  4. @tassojunior, did you not use to have a quotation in your signature from the French Revolution or something like that? Or it was at the other site? That quote would be very contemporaneous now.
  5. Thank you, William. (Un)Fortunately, the rumor is that tomorrow protest will be huge. I am concerned about getting infected, DC is one of current hot spots even if the city is re opening. I need to refocus on sex and porn. Politics fires me up, I need to go back to work for the boys in my network. My friends are a very diverse crew, but mostly in their 20s and early 30s. Most of them are going to be participating and keeping me posted through FaceTime and WhatsApp. What a week.
  6. Part of the point I am making is that here you do not need to explain that Black Lives Matter is actually and inclusive slogan. BoyToy participants are fewer, and tend to be more educated and intellectually sophisticated (I said "tend to be", we all know I am not sophisticated, per example) than the more popular and more representative of USA average Daddy's. I do enjoy preaching to the choir, but it is important to confront and establish a dialogue with opposite views. Fighting against Racism involves more interesting things than explaining BLM to troglodytes. Perhaps we can discuss those things here?
  7. I will try to remember to collect here resources for those looking for ways to support communities of color. Although I wrote "Black" in the headline, because I think that right now all those fighting White Privilege and Supremacy feel Black, the idea would be to support business owned by People of Color. Please, join with any resources you can add. Black-owned restaurants are seeing a surge of interest and support. Advocates say it’s a start. 77 black owned businesses BLK OWNED BUSINESSES DC DIRECTORY DC BLACK OWNED RESTAURANTS OPENED DURING COVID19
  8. Did you need to start a new thread for this?? LMFAO
  9. The first episode is a nuke. I felt like I had taken some energizing substance during viewing it. After that intro, the show is very uneven depending on the quality of the challenge the competitors are presented to, and their performances. Excellent show and a great window to the new ballroom culture.
  10. That is Oz' version of one of the many didactic analogies people are trying to open the eyes of the well intentioned "All Lives Matter".
  11. Those are great goals. I guess we would also have different local goals, as not all legislation can be federally enforced and the local realities are different. But the point I am trying to make is that when you set a goal, you fight for it and you do not question the intentions of those who join you to attain your goal until you have actually attained it. Once you won the fight, then you can start checking your alliance and distinguish sincere from opportunist supporters. Doing it before victory is torpedoing your chances.
  12. GRACIAS @TotallyOz for this recommendation! I am so glad I waited to have my new sound bar up and installed. This is so fucking good and uplifting. The perfect break from all the current drama. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
  13. Ii is so easy to get distracted with bitching bull shit. What I was saying? Ah, sí BLACK LIVES MATTER
  14. I was the one alerting here about that thread. My intention was not to start here another rant of posts insulting Daddy and the Racist participants in the other side. I tell directly to them what I think about their horrible ideas. My intention was to call for like minded Boytoy members who hold double citizenship in M4M, to do as I was doing. The money I was putting aside to donate to Daddy's as I have done the last few years, it is now gone to #BLM, and I have decided not to donate again. However, I do not plan to withdraw and leave a space free for the Racists. My criticism of the shameful Racist ideas being shared by Daddy and a few more is receiving considerable support. I think it is clear that the majority of the participants, silent or not, are not Racists.Despite how tempting it is to insult Daddy because of his weight and his physical imperfections, you cannot fight the pigs becoming one of them. His Racist stand is clear and it is disgusting. But Daddy like each of us, is a multidimensional human being. Although his Racism disgusts me, I can still appreciate other virtues on him. For instance, I have called him Racist in public and in private, and I am still there. Once again, if you are reading this post and you participate over there, I invite you to join the fight. I want BoyToy to have more traffic and I am doing everything I can to do it, but the fact is that the MRM are significantly more popular than BT, and therefore a more accurate reflection of the USA. It is nice to talk with people that think like us, I do enjoy preaching to the choir. But it is even better to engage in conversation and confrontation with opposite views. This is not about Daddy, BLACK LIVES MATTER!!!! IMG_4938.MOV
  15. All the action needed now is to voice our support. They did it. No one is counting on them for anything else.
  16. I totally enjoyed walking with the protesters yesterday. I also learned that these many weeks of lockdown have deeply affected my physical condition. Damn, I ended exhausted after 4 hours walking under the sun. What I saw was a 100% peaceful protest, with very diverse protesters. I saw very few organized groups, 80/90% of the demonstrators were small groups of friends like mine. I saw a few groups of ANTIFA. Mostly White teenagers dressed all Black and with flags clearly identifying them. They did not use the protest for any alien political agenda and peacefully participated with the rest of the crowd. There were only two moments when I saw something that may could have develop in violent crashes. In both cases, unmarked police cars would drive cutting into groups of people and causing aggressive reactions. In both cases, everyone would raise their arms and yell "No Shoot" or "Peace". Most of signs and speeches were focus first on George Floyd, and secondly in all other minority victims of police violence. In on of the demonstrations near the White House, the speaker would name the murdered victims and we all would repeat their names. The names were Black and Latino victims. When we were in the Capitol, at the very beginning of our walk, we chose to hang up with a group of demonstrators identified under the name Freedom Fighters. This was a peaceful and organized multi ethnic group, handling free water to by passers, and collecting the trash to leave the park clean after moving to the White House. When we were there, Nancy Pelosi came out from a black SUV, wearing a mask, surround by about 5 security guards with no uniforms or visible guns or communication devices. She was escorted by a TV crowd, with a reporter asking her questions. They walked a couple of circles amidst the demonstrators, with the people yelling at her with political demands (no to privatizing jails, police and judiciary reform, etc) that she ignored. Needless to say, much innocent than Trump's photo op in the church, but another photo op. We walked from Florida and NY, where I parked my car, to the Capitol, and then the White House. During all this itinerary we were continuously approached by people in biked handling cold water for free. Most of the people were wearing masks. I guess that was the one point where the event was not so diverse. The overwhelming majority of the protesters were younger than 30. I am sure the age difference (besides the fact that Racists are overrepresented in the group of dying dinosaurs) was related to COVID19. I was very concerned about it, as I wear some of the risk pre existing condition for the illness. Wearing the mask was terrible uncomfortable. It was hot and sunny, and that piece of thick fabric holding my warm breath was very challenging. I need a summer mask, I will probably use a bandana the next time. I also did my best to keep physical distancing. I would have loved mingling with the crowd in the most populated spots, but I resisted the temptation and stayed away, in the clearer areas. They are organizing a concert and a big peaceful protest this Saturday. I am planning to be there. Next time I will go later. Yesterday we started at 2. She it was 5 and they announced that the curfew beginning was moved from 7 to 11pm, I was already exhausted and thinking of giving up. I do not enjoy the heat, imagine with a piece of thick cloth on my face.
  17. This Sunday, popular organizations are calling for a massive demonstration supporting democracy. @likeohmygod, I hope you report on SP's. Bolsonaro siguió el ejemplo de Trump y llamó "terroristas" a los manifestantesi
  18. I was there today when he arrived and walked through the crowd of protesters with almost no security. Earlier on I had seen Pelosi making a photo op walking amidst protestors next to the Capitol. The protestors were probably 50 times fewer than the ones Obama crossed through, but Pelosi had 6 visible guards against the 2 I noticed following Obama.
  19. We are having a battle in the other site. I invite those who still participate over there to join and choose a side. There are more but the most important threads are these two: https://www.message-forum.net/threads/blm-is-racist.157897/ https://www.message-forum.net/threads/denouncing-usa-state-terrorism.157828/ The second one is the thread I opened mirroring this BoyToy thread. They are similar only at the beginning. I am joining the protests in a couple of hours, and I am planning on reporting on it with pics, mostly posted mostly in my Twitter. I cannot stay longer at home watching TV and quarreling in the screens.
  20. I do not think that tactical alliances necessarily compromise your principles. They are radically different to a strategic association between different political actors. Right now, there are two major goal for this protest: justice for the murderers (the 4 of them) of George Floyd, and criminal justice reform. Two goals that per se are just reformist aspirations, however in the context of systemic White Privilege, they become revolutionary. Of course I would ally with anyone who in this moment supports those goals. Whether or not they are hypocrites or unreliable allies, if they help us to obtain progressive victories that will turn into an objective improvement in the lives of millions of Americans, I will swallow my disgust and will bend my principles. My political goals (to defend inalienable Rights of innocent, powerless people) are more important that keeping my hand and conscience clean.
  21. I see no drama in disagreeing. We do not need to apologize, we do not need to agree on everything but only in the basic mutual respect and human empathy.
  22. DC's curfew starts at 7pm today. After the Donald had to hide in his super basement, the whole White House area will be closed today. I just upgraded my cable service and I am back to all the news networks. I am taking a break from Internet.
