Are Blacks The Same In All Us States. Do They Differ Any

Why did the United States treat black crack addicts so differently then white opioid addicts today?

Please don’t waste time by denying this. Blackaddicts were given decades to life in prison. Our addiction was treated as a moral failure and therefor criminalized. Whites addicted to opioids is now being treated as a medical emergency.

Are black people and white people different species?

- Different race, same species

Different species means we wouldn't be able to produce children with each other which we know is very possible

Is there a difference between the Freemasons and the Black masons?

By black Masons I believe you are referring to the Prince Hall Masons. However, there is no such think as "White Masons". Freemasonry admits men of any color. In my lodge, we have blacks, whites, asians, hispanics, as well as catholics, jews and muslims. A black man can choose to join American Freemasonry or Prince Hall Masonry.

The basic principles of the fraternities are the same. The reason that there are Prince Hall Masons is that blacks were at one time not permitted to join many lodges, especially in the southern united states. Originally, many blacks in the US were slaves, and there is a requirement that all masons must be free-born men, so they started their own lodges after Prince Hall was initiated a Freemason outside the United States.

While it is unfortunate that blacks were not originally allowed to join regular Freemasonry, Prince Hall Masonry is something to be proud of. They do great charity work, have excellent ritual skills, and carry on the Freemason tradition. Prince Hall Masons are now widely recognized by Masonic bodies.

As for other Masonic organizations, Prince Hall has those as well. There is a Prince Hall Affiliated body of Eastern Star, and there are also Prince Hall Shriners, Prince hall Scottish Rite, and Prince Hall York Rite. All of the rituals and ideals are very similar.

Are black piranha illegal to possess in the US?

The name "Black Piranha" usually refers to Serrasalmus rhombeus. Oddly enough, the same fish is also called the "White Piranha" (it has different coloration in different environments and at different ages).

It (with all other piranhas) is illegal to keep in about half of the U.S. states-- approximately the southern half of the country. In some states where it is not illegal, you must obtain a permit to keep one legally, so check your local laws (the state game and fish agency will have the regulations).

Unlike the popular Red-Bellied Piranha (Pygocentrus nattereri) and many other piranha species, Serrasalmus rhombeus is not a schooling fish. Therefore, you should keep only one to a tank (because it will probably kill any other fish in the tank). Nonetheless, it needs a large tank, because it reaches a length in excess of one foot (16 inches in captivity has been reported). I'd say about 150 gallons would be the minimum aquarium size for an adult specimen.
