What I don't understand is why you're trying so hard to define it? Or is it that you're just looking for an excuse to tear something down simply because you weren't a part of the group?
Sheer curiosity of course.
As far as I recall Lee is white after seeing her at some of the shows.
Now I could be wrong, but she seemed to have some ethnic darkness about her when I saw her. Maybe a little bit of American Indian or maybe some latin like 1/16th. Even 1/32nd would do.
If this is the case we could make room for her in the family.
We would need to know though of course what background she is first.
Also after reading her posts, she would be required to take our manditory BP4L culture sensitivity course as well. It is a 3 week course.

You never cease to amuse me, Boneprone
I'm part native, of course you wouldn't know it to look at me. Native Status is a beautiful thing

Try to start an organisation to protact our industry or get people to join one already out there and see the indifference. But a club for 12 to 14 year olds is irresistable to 20 to 30 year olds. Go figure.

What would you do if it were your own family member?
you are who you hang with
In business, you will need other people to help you achieve your goals. Whether you are the boss of many or the boss of few -- or just part of the few -- you will need others to become successful. This is a fact of life that is undeniable.
The bottom line is that to achieve great heights, you must fly with the best. And others will judge you based on those that surround you. So choose your lieutenants carefully.
If you choose men of quality, competence and integrity to work with and you are able to work well together, you will come off looking brilliant from the onset. By picking the right crew, you will gain respect. By picking the wrong crew, you will be derided as someone that can't even pick the right people to work with? let alone manage them or organizations of any sort.
Becoming more successful
As your organization grows and you become more and more successful, you want to make sure to spread the wealth. The last thing you want is for your lieutenants and soldiers to start whispering behind your back and starting rumors that undermine your position.
Thus, you must make sure to keep your men happy? but not too happy. A fully content man is never as effective as a man with hunger in his eyes. So remember to keep your guys happy by praising them and giving them material rewards as a show of appreciation.
Don't spoil them though, lest they become ingrates. You all know what happens to ingrates.
For those of you who are wondering what exactly a man of quality consists of, I'm about to let you know.
You want to have a strong right hand man, a man with a good reputation, a man who can hold his tongue, and finally, you want good friends and powerful friends on your side when you need them to be there.
Not everyone can be trusted
We all know there are different types of people in this world. Some good, some bad and some fools, that give the word "idiot" a bad name.
What are the different types of people in this world and which ones should I avoid at all costs?
Types of people
I'm going to give you guys four basic types of people that you will encounter in your business career as well as in your daily life. No matter how you slice it, every person you meet falls into one of these four categories and should be treated differently according to their type.
The four types are as follows: men that understand things on their own; men that can appreciate the intelligence of other men without necessarily being as intelligent; men who neither understand nor appreciate the brainpower of those that do understand; and finally, the flatterers. Read below to learn how to treat each type of man.
1) Men that understand things on their own
These are the men that move the world, the prime movers. They build the infrastructure and economy of a country. They say that history is written by the winners, well, these men are the winners of history. They are able to imagine the future, they have a vision of what they want to create in their lifetime and they find the resources necessary to make their vision come true.
They are the Caesars, the Aristotles, the Gates, and the Rockefellers of the world. These are men who shape the world to fit their mold, not men who let the world shape them. Try to associate yourself with this type of man as much as possible as they will likely bring out the best in you.
2) Men that appreciate the intelligence of others
Perhaps not on the same level as the prime movers of the world, these men are still able to achieve greatness and success in many ways. Usually allying themselves with a strong leader, their strength lies in being able to execute plans to perfection and being able to recognize and follow men of genius to help them achieve their goals.
Every great general has a strong second in command. Behind every great general there are great lieutenants. One feeds off the other. These, too, are men of honor and should be frequented as much as possible.
3) Men who neither understand nor appreciate
These men are not inherently bad people; they simply aren't very smart. By associating with this type you will likely encounter many failures before realizing you should stay away from them as much as possible.
The fact that they cannot recognize intelligence in other men renders them incapable of sound judgment. The last thing you need on your team is someone who can never make the right decision.
In the long run, bad decisions add up? to disaster. Now I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer but I can recognize talent.
When I meet a Caesar and have a chance to do business with him, I move full steam ahead because I know the venture will succeed.
4) Flatterers
Stay away from this type of scum at all costs. Men are vain creatures and will gladly listen to almost anything from almost anyone, provided it is what they want to hear. The flatterer will tell you what you want to hear, he will cajole you with his words, often in a very subtle manner, with the goal of obtaining something from you that he normally would not deserve.
The danger in believing the flatterer is that you might lose track of reality and make the wrong moves. The wrong moves can lead to disaster in no time. Flatterers can be people from within or from without your inner circle. Either way, they are dangerous. Do not succumb to flattery; it will mark your downfall.
The best way to avoid flattery is to let people around you know that you only want the truth from them. Make sure they know you aren't offended by the truth. This way you will get the real deal and can make the right decisions based on the right information.

There is his story, there is her story, and then there's the truth somewhere in between.
No matter what the other two stories are, the truth is grey enough that it casts a pall on the Family.
This is not good for the Family and in turn brings down all of the BP4L members.
In this business, reputation is everything, and you are who you associate with. Son Of Rage will forever be known as a rapist because the court found him guilty and he served time - and therefore the Family will be associated as having a rapist in its midst.
Tough love, has to be done. In order to preserve the respect of the Family and its members, Son of Rage has to go.
The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few - or the one.

My Uncle has been in prison for Murder since the 70's...Except for a few weeks when he broke out. What does that say about me and my family?
Anyhow, he's out of the Biz. Ive seen to it.
We got him running our resturant which has it's grand opening in Eugene Oregon this Sunday. Resturant Management for the Family will be his new position and focus on life.
I am disappointed that this has become about race. In all honesty, I had no idea what your race was or your following. Last I knew my NEC monitor showed 16, 800 million colors with everyone.
You talk about family, understand there are families that pre-date the BP4L, the first generation pioneers of this industry who came together in 1996 and earlier and laid alot of the infrastructure webmasters drive upon today.
Many of us are still around and several are in our 40's and 50's now.
The difference is we took care of many in the industry, and did not work within our own group exclusively. We collectively came together and worked for the good of the industry and still do.
BP4L handles themselves different, and thats fine. But, my family did not wrong your family, so we cannot pay for a debt we did not owe.
That debt being race issues and discrimination in this industry which exists only in your mind.
If you really wanted to take up a cause, you could have done so to ensure the women have equal opportunity in this business. They have come along way babee, but they could go further.
There are NO race issues in this business, and there has never been any, and I will not let you in 2003 create any for the sake of saving face or justifying the existence of your family.

i must call bullshit.Racism does exist in the adult world.
Let me clarify that, racism exists within people who reside in this buisness

This is very true, Lee, women in this business are now giving a very strong showing. Although I have to give props to Boneprone, I've seen him give credit where credit is due, and there are women in the "family" (Not me, but others).
Lee....babee....there is chauvinism. Racism. Homophobia. Just like in the real world. I've read stuff from people on this and other boards that make me shudder, the hatred is oozing from their keyboards through to me.
Open your ears at the shows and on the boards, hon. There is lots of hate and it isn't just coming from GFY.
I've been to the shows when someone walks by and they're called a name....and it's not just a name but something derogatory and either racial or religious. Never have I seen so much Jew Hating as I've seen at shows and on the boards.
As far as families, I wasn't around during the pioneer days and maybe I'm hearing the memories wrong...but, as much assistance as there was, there was that much back stabbing, too....wasn't there? There are some wars between the old guard that are still going on...if I have my information right...
As to BP4L...why not? I live in the NW, amongst people who are different than I am.....my brother-in-law is Filipino....their sense of family is amazing. You could go to jail for a million years and when you get out, they are there for you. It's the way. They might watch their children around you...but, they'll set you up with something, so you can put your life back together.
Every time BP4L comes up, the same thing happens...oh, they're so cool, they're so mysterious...well..to themselves...they are a family..to the rest of the world..they are a mystery......and then the bashing starts......
Let them be. For those of us not inside their Family, be entertained. For those inside, cool.
Raven honey, you directed your post to me and it was Lady Mischief belching the chauvanism comment.
When you have groups of people the lines are drawn and I get that, it not avoidable but the people brought the issues into this industry and blew them up.
Who exactly is guilty of this discrimination that exists?
As for the shows, there is more ebonics being spoken than all the languages at the UN, one could hardly interpret them as slurs.
Thats the fault of the speaker not the fault of families or our industry.

Family is everything when you've got a good one.
There is the family you are born with, and the family you choose.. If the family you choose supports you, all the better.

Have you not encountered chauvanism? I would think so.. It doesn't ruin things for me most certainly because I know my worth, however it is pre-eminent everywhere. Just one of the parts the industry, I guess.
This industry like any has it's good points and it's bad points, but I think that overall, it's one of the best to be in, because overall, it's the most accepting.
Yes, people can pick apart certain people or instances of this or that, but that doesn't change the fact that a cross-section of the business shows one of the most diverse groups of people with varying backgrounds anywhere in business, I think. That in itself is going to cause problems, but it's also going to make things that much more interesting.
Lets get some focus here, and stop debating world issues.
My head is not buried in the sand Raven and I do not believe discrimination is a problem in this industry to the point where a family needs to bond to support and combat these implied issues in numbers.
BP4L has the right to be who they are for what ever reason. It is our right to say they have formed for the wrong reason if it was based on issues against minorities in this business.
We can talk skin all day long or we could talk about lifestyle discriminations and hardships too, but the bottom line is these are the cards we each either accept or reject as individuals.
We all had the right to attend public school, we all made our choices for our futures. Some chose to "skate" thru their lives others went on to make investments in themselves at their own expense.
Because I am gay society owes me nothing, and I am not going to bond with other gays as a means to accept the indifferences.
Thats weak, its hard for me to accept a minority person being born and deciding to make this life one big excuse because of his forefathers. The generations now are not in those same hardships but so many use them as excuses to make nothing of their lives.
When I decided to put myself thru college at 30, my GPA meant nothing because all the scholarships went to minorities. At 37, I got my BS and also got $30K in school loans for the next 20 years.
No free lunch for me.
Its called do something with you life.
As for BP4L I think it represents an issue thats not present in our business but an issue because of its formation and its basis for formation.
If you want to talk discrimination, BP4L is a classic case within themselves. Their very formation is a discriminatory stance against those that do not meet their racial or minority guidelines.
So is this a case of them forming because of racism, or was it formed to bring racism into this industry.
This business is built on honor and respect, not skin or ethnicity.
BP4L serves a purpose.
My only hope is they are part of a solution and not part of the problem.
