I did define ethnicity earlier....making this point irrelevant. here it is again: "Ethnicity is self imposed group identity of people who share a common culture heritage history and often share common set of blood lines(kinship)" Meaning number 4 from the link you so graciously provided states the following where in even one membership in a specific profession can be categories as a race below the definition you will see some examples of Context and Uses. : a group of people sharing some habit or characteristic (such as profession or belief) … the whole race of politicians put together.—Jonathan Swift The Apostles, though they were fishers too, were of the solemn race of sea-fishers …—Henry David Thoreau … the race of domestic clowns or jesters, maintained in the houses of the wealthy …—Sir Walter Scott … to become a Dissenter seemed to him identical with choosing God instead of mammon. That race of Dissenters is extinct in these days, when opinion has got far ahead of feeling …—George Eliot … our daughters haunt the town as if searching for something they missed, walking up beside the rocks with books in their arms like a race of little nuns.—John Updike Yes....So when black parents birth an albino....is that child of the "white Race"? No...you are. Yes....that is the definition of race as a Social Construct... Race is not a biological fact .......but it is a Social fact Eugenists tried and failed to prove race genetically.... All humans share 99% the same genes....so we are alike than we differ Now if you had only read further down on your own link you would have found the biological definition of race....think it was no.3 biology : a group within a species that is distinguishable (as morphologically, genetically, or behaviorally) from others of the same species https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/race

Judging by your comments, I'm not sure if you and Troy fully grasp the point I'm making in this thread....lol. ProfD Spain losing power doesn't warrant immediate coverage to the white media. Spain....like England, Canada, or France....is a major Western nation. If an entire major Western nation LOSES POWER....I think that's pretty news worthy, lol. Imagine if all of Canada went black tonight. Would the latest draft pick of the Minnesota Timberwolves be more important?

I have an idea, but I'm not at liberty to share it...lol. Or have they? They say nothing in this modern world is "invented"....only "revealed". Meaning, all the technology they NOW possess...including airplanes, electricity, and the internet...has not only existed for THOUSANDS of years but also has been in constant USE by the elite rulers of this world. What we THINK are inventions, discoveries, and progress in knowledge is just those elites allowing bits and pieces of knowledge and technology to inch out from time to time.

Agreed. I believe Russia could've annihilated Ukraine a long time ago without using nukes. Wars and conflicts are good for business.

It would be cool to *know* where we are in the present 25k year cycle. Archaeologists have not dug up and/or revealed any advanced technology from the past. No vehicles, TVs, computers or appliances.

1. NATO is already in his backyard, lol. NATO is about as far from Russia as New York is from Maryland. 2. Russia could barely handle TURKEY alone in a conflict...let alone NATO forces combined, and they know it. But I do think they could have BEEN won the war in Ukraine if they were serious about it. They could have won it inside of a year. I don't know what the plan is, but clearly Russia isn't trying to win that war because if they were...they wouldn't have let Ukraine progress so far as to make strikes inside Russia proper. If Russia was sincere they would have nuked Ukraine by now for some shit like that, lol. It's being prolonged for some reason.

I believe many of the young Black and Latino Democrats....especially at the local level...are sincere. They don't like the greed, corruption, and cruel callousness they see being inflicted on the American people. They don't like the homelessness, the poor working conditions, the crime, the police brutality, etc....and they sincerely want to change this. They KNOW the Republicans aren't going to do shit about it so their only hope is the Democrat Party and they join hoping to have as much of a positive impact as they can. These are the young Black and Latino Democrats at the local city/county level. But the White Democrats, especially the ones at the state and national levels like Congress KNOW what's up. They KNOW they are part of the system and they know that if they don't tow the line and go along with the agenda: 1. They may end up being "deleted" and 2. Replaced with someone who WILL go along with the agenda It's like the neighborhood drug dealer. He recons that what he's doing is bad, but if HE doesn't do it somebody else is just going to come along and do it anyway so HE may as well be the one to make the money.

Right. Every now and then, war is for a worthy cause...pursuing life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. Russia is slapping Ukraine around like a trick who tried to side with another pimp. Russia under Putin doesn't want NATO in his backyard. He's also trying to resurrect ths band (USSR).

The quick and honest answer from me is: I actually don't know. I COULD end it right there....lol. However I can speculate............... I believe the planet goes through CYCLES of 25,000 years where global civilizations are constantly reborn and dying and reborn. Different groups start off primitive and progress through time at different rates, some overtaking others. At the end of 25,000 years a major cataclysm occurs and starts things over again.

That is why I believe the political parties are two sides of the same coin. They have one common objective which is maintaining the system.

Now, I have to ask the question and hopefully it won't raise the lack of intelligence flag. If our ancestors were so advanced in mathematics, medicine, science and philosophy, etc., it begs the questions of when, where and how did many of our people digress into living in compromised shelters on undeveloped land and being exploited by foreigners in Africa. I refuse to believe white folks sprinkled some kind of fairy dust on our people to zap their intelligence as bestowed upon them by the Supreme Being.

Mel The Greeks learned from the Africans, not vice versa/ Kemet Mysteries Schools come from us, as does the tradition of a tiered learning system. These are facts I alluded to in the "Blue Origin Space Flight" thread when I said that WE started those organizations for them. To keep it real.... I don't believe we start the current academic fraternities and sororities common on most PWU campuses...but the OLDEST secret societies in Western Civilization that go back to ancient Greece and beyond actually came from Africa. We started them to civilize and educated a FEW of them so that those few could civilize the others to various degrees. .....oh if people only knew the TRUE meaning behind "crossing the burning sands", lol. Although it is unspoken, the Greek lettering became associated with learning and academia for this reason. This is also the reason professions like law and medicine in Western Civilization is "practiced" in and preserve much of their knowledge in Greek and Latin regardless of the nation it's practiced in. Latin came out of Greek and we know the Greeks got their letters/alphabets from the Canaanites (Phoenicians), an Egyptian colony. Because of the Western attempt to erase all of what we have given civilization, the Divine Nine, keeping with tradition, just went along with the established system of using Greek lettering, is my guess. It's kind of like how we use the Arabic numeral system. Black "greek" academic organizations started for 2 major reasons: 1. Like White Fraternities/Sororities. They are elementary organizations designed to "test your metal" so to speak and find out how well you can respect authority, keep secrets, and go along with the "program". If you show promise at the collegiate level, then you graduate to more professional organizations like the Sigma Pi Phi. 2. The poor and uneducated Black America population imitated the White Masons by forming the Prince Hall masons as way of establishing unity and brotherhood among themselves for social help, so in that regard they actually PRE-DATED the Divine Nine! But the more well off educated Black professionals didn't want to join their poor and "ignorant" brethren so they formed their own professional organizations with higher standards for membership and later on formed Black fraternities and sororities in college....similar to the White ones as you said...to prepare the youth for those more professional ones. I don't know why everyone agreed to use those numbers, but we know Africans were the first to develop maths. -> Ofcourse. And the ancients had FAR more advanced mathematics than what the West has today. The West only has a FRACTION of what the ancients used to build the pyramids and other monuments and civilizations around the globe. The Africans were the masters. When Western doctors and lawyers say they merely PRACTICE medicine and law, they know what they're saying....because they know who the MASTERS are...lol.

The Democratic establishment might support him running for higher office as a result of his willingness to stunt for another group of people. That's exactly why FBA/AfroAmericans aren't paying attention to this type of sh8t. It makes no sense to put on the cape for people who can't stand us anyway.

The media immediately reports *news* that it deems important enough to cover right away. Spain losing power doesn't warrant immediate coverage to the white media. The LA wildfires were covered 24/7 until the last ember was extinguished. Lot of property and money went up in smoke.

Trump allegedly won by pretty wide margins, but perhaps VP Harris' sorority sisters and other supporters should have KEPT those reservations and change their plans from a victory celebration to a "stop the steal" rally and organize to protest, demanding recounts, and investigate claims of voter suppression ....lol. What would they have had to lose? One of my biggest issues with the Democrat Party is their refusal to actually fight. They just silently accepted defeat, no questions asked and move on.

It is a kind gesture and recognition for the manufactured holidays. Father's Day being the after-thought holiday. Technically, every human being has a *father*/donor or they would not exist. For one reason or several, every child does not have the benefit of a *daddy* i.e. a man who raises and teaches them. It makes sense for people to celebrate the maternal and paternal figures who had the most impact on their lives even if it's the same person rolled up in one. There are grandparents, other relatives and friends who take on parental responsibilities for children they didn't bear.

You can say that about MOST wars. Russia and the Ukraine are beefing with eachother over a very similar situation. Instead of Kashmir, you have Crimea.

Troy How soon after the event would have been acceptable to you? Seeing as how the event lasted 23 hours, in this internet age where information can be shared at the speed of light...it's not a question of how soon "after" the event. A competent and reputable news source should be able to report an event like that within 2 hours of it's occurrence WHILE it's occurring.

Right. Reads like they are killing each other and dying for *nothing*.

frankster Yes....with roots in biology What part of culture, heritage, or history is rooted in biology? Why are they not two different races? Since race is primarily based on PHYSICAL TRAITS, what PHYSICAL TRAITS differ between the French and Spanish that would qualify them as 2 different races? how Because eye color and hair color...if natural...are PHYSICAL TRAITS that can be passed down genetically and shared by the same group of people. The very definition of race. Troy This flawed belief is what is confusing you. Since they clearly see different races as a REALITY and have defined it, are those who compiled this dictionary "confused" as well? do you realize there are more genetic differences between people within a so-called race than between them? I'm not sure but here's the definition of Race according to the dictionary: Race is a FACT and it's clearly defined.

I didn't read too much into this story but I was hoping...HOPING...that it wasn't a Black man. Yet once again....... What's up with some of these silly ass niggaz, man??? Did they learn ANYTHING watching what happened with Congressman Al Greene or Rev. Barber??? Haven't they learned YET that the Democratic Establishment won't have their backs when they pull stunts like this? If they haven't even learned THAT yet, they aren't ready for the next level which is pulling a gangsta move like Mayor Adams did in New York. And in a way it's embarrassing to see Black politicians fight for illegal immigrants who probably don't give a damn about their ass in the first place and are probably more racist towards Black folks than the White cops putting cuffs on him.

frankster Malicious is always harmful and as such it is also violent... I believe I asked you before, what "harm" does a MALICIOUS THOUGHT do? Thanks for the admission.....running in circles is what you are good at If you see me running IN CIRCLES, it's just me trying to follow your CIRCULAR logic...lol. But does not implies....it contrast It does BOTH. Implying and contrasting don't contradict eachother. They're just separate concepts. Again, "but" usually implies "at same time" unless a time differentiation is made. which is how I read it and answered accordingly How can you read something that didn't exist? "I'm going to be" was NOT in the sentence I gave. The sentence was plain and clear: I'm home but I'm busy The only time "I'm going to be" was introduced was when YOU introduced it. I gave you my answer which is and was direct and to the point. Yeah...but the problem is....NO QUESTION WAS ASKED OF YOU. I merely gave you an example of how "but" is used to imply 2 actions occurring simultaneously. Than most of the rest of the world.. Ok. Then you're deluded. I never said that nor did I even allude to it. It's a strawman argument that YOU'VE constructed to fight with in order to TRY and redeem yourself, lol.

What about children raised by single mothers who give their mothers gifts on both Mother's Day AND Father's Day? I was fortunate to have BOTH of my Parents....wonderful Parents...so that wasn't an issue for me. However I knew a lot of cats who didn't have fathers growing up and a few of them actually celebrated Father's Day with their mothers.

ProfD Ask them what they're fighting and dying for and wait for the *dumb* answers. I'm not 100% sure but I believe they're fighting over a region called Kashmir that lays right between India and Pakistan. I've heard rumors about that land. I've heard the claim that Jesus is actually buried there. So much for legends.

Just for the record, this post was never about Mother's Day. It was about the meme I included. But it was hi-jacked by pioneer and his soap box ranting. Just like he barged in with his unsolicited lecture about how Chicago reacted to the new Pope. And threw shade on Mel's post about Cory Booker and Hakeem Jefferies holding forth on the steps of the Capitol building. He never met an issue he didnt think would benefit from the pollution of his tired old stale input. It goes without saying that Mel and Chevdove always have my ongoing support and high regard. Dey my gurls!
