The software engineers from Twitter I believe have rewritten some of their Ruby on Rails code in Scala which I gather is supposed to handle high web traffic better than the other solutions available. However I do not know how many known commercial websites are using it. It will be something to look at. I plan to check out Scala in the future since I have gotten past the fear of jumping into the new stuff after decades of using 30 year old technology.

You got it.

Yep the fetish nonsense is a distraction to try and get bw to stay in the playpen. Thank God more are coming to their senses. As stated no one is forcing people to do anything. The problem is with bw that are desiring to break out of the playpen allowing this type of madness to influence their decisions.

SIDEBAR: I noticed that some of the comments were dealing with the absolutely inane ABC video with Steve Harvey. I decided to post it to see what comments I got. I was past appalled at the video. My husband watched it also and thought it was insane. When I complained about the video I got some interesting reactions from two of my black female friends. They seemed to lean toward problems that bw have in dealing with men. I screamed that was not the point of the video. The video stated that the problem was not enough quality black men for professional bw to date. I absolutely laughed out loud about the advice to date older men. Most older gals know the pickings are slim. I never would have thought that he was looking for himself. I hope he is single. I thought he was married to number 3. Neither of my friends dealt with the idea there were not enough quality bm for quality bw to choose from. They also did not want to deal with the fact that this type of video would paint bw as petty and selfish for wanting what all women want and other women are never questioned about like we are. If they cannot convince us that we are broken and in much need of repair then they will lie about our chances to get us to sabotage our own pursuit of romantic happiness.

gcmwatch, I totally agree with you. I knew nothing about Coley and only saw him once. That was enough for me to never listen to him again. It may have been during this time when the article you referenced came out with his testimony.

I got disgusted with the black gospel scene long before this incident. By the time I heard about Coley I had quit listening to all of it pretty much. When I was in the choir from 93-96 I heard about these artists for the first time. Afterwards I continued my listening boycott of the stuff. How sad things have gotten these days.

This does not surprise me at all about Coley. I never heard anything about his supposed testimony about getting free from homosexuality. He came to Carlton Pearson's church in Tulsa to minister when I was a choir member in the early 90s. I had never heard of him before but I just could not stand to hear him sing. He seemed a bit too sweet to me. One of my friends at the time was aware of rumors that he was homosexual and defended him stating that he was married. That was the only time I heard him sing and determined I would never listen to him again. Another gospel minister that had been invited was flaming really bad on stage. That one died the following year of AIDS. Needless to say when I started seeing this I ran from that church. That perverse spirit has been going through the church as a whole for a long time. You see this in many predominately white churches. However I agree that the impact on black churches is far more damaging since there are fewer Biblical options to choose from for those Christians that want to be in a black church. Christians need to know their Bibles and the voice of the Holy Spirit to teach them right from wrong.

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Someone finally got some sense.

I'm not surprised at the choice. I am praying for a heart change.

Ditto. Any free nation should immediately leave the UN and quit giving them any more money.
