  2. ProfD I'd imagine that is the case for those who choose to stay in those countries. Immigration would suggest a lot of people in 3rd world countries are they're looking for a better life elsewhere. Everybody is different. Even people from the same nation and ethnicity may value different things as life as individuals; so what one person may LOVE about their nation and culture their own brother or cousin may HATE and choose to pack up and leave it behind. Some people may like the slow and less hectic life of living in a third world country where there is less wealth and luxury but they may find life easier to get through. Meanwhile some people CAN'T WAIT to get to America so they can get 2 or 3 jobs AND go to school and get a degree and get rich. They may have plenty of energy and love working 60 or 80 hours a week and can't wait to get to a country that allows them to do this and even rewards them for it. Depends on how folks choose to spend their money. Some folk don't t have to pay rent or mortgage. That SUV & upkeep of it might be their only bill. This is true. There used to be a time when a GROWN MAN had to pay for his own place. Now you got grown men living with their parents until they're 60, living off their wives and girlfriends, and "crashing" on the couch from one friend's crib to the next.....with no shame in it. But another thing that's a problem is that as more and more immigrants come to America the more they disrupt OUR social fabric of adults living independently. Most of them believe in the extended family so you'll have several generations or 15 people living on one house and all of them are working low wage jobs but are chipping in so that they can stay in the house and have cars. That's hard for an individual person to compete with because they were raised to do everything on their own. As long as Wally World (Wal-Mart) keeps rolling back prices & selling cheap sh8t...folks can make it on a handful of dollars. It ain't THAT cheap anymore...lol. I went to Walmart a few weeks ago and ended up paying $400 for a basket full of shit that I didn't think would be over $200. I had to go over my receipt 2 or 3 times to make sure they weren't double charging me. Black folks had better start buying land & learning hown to grow food. Same goes for learning trades & starting businesses within their communities. It's gonna be ugly if white folks finally admit that they're tired of carrying Black folks when it comes employment. Lol....come on bro. How long have we been hearing THIS????? You might as well go outside and start preaching to the squirrels. "I know. Say man....... Winter is coming soon and it's going to get cold in a minute! Yall better get it together and learn to store some acorns! I can't keep giving you all this food! You gotta learn how to go to the store and buy your own nuts! Learn how to use cash or a debit card before it's too late!"

  6. Agreed. This is straight BS. No such thing as rogue AI bots. Someone is pushing the buttons & deploying those AI bots to hack different systems. Just like the military tests advanced aircraft but let folks believe it's a UAP/UFO. They will use this rogue AI bot sh8t to force governments & companies to buy some type of AI security to prevent getting hacked in the future. Straight BS & a money grab too.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  7. I'm not surprised that female participation is low here. That goes for participation in general. There were a few more regulars when I 1st showed up several years ago. Thought my posts ran them away.๐Ÿคฃ The reality is there's no shortage of forums & social media outlets catering to a variety of interests. People have plenty choices in where they spend their online time. Regardless of the participation or lack thereof, I enjoy chopping it here @ AALBC. I'm not on FB, X, IG, TT, etc.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  8. Those are the rules for certain types of broadcasts. There's no reason for the evening news channel to show people cussin' & exposing themselves.๐Ÿคฃ OTOH, cable channels have plenty content with cussin' & nudity & violence, etc. Not sure of why PBS was showing nudity & graphic violence back in the day. They are super vanilla now.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  9. Yesterday
  10. ProfD The FCC issues broadcast licenses. The media agrees to operate within the broadcastint rules. However, the FCC doesn't control or dictate content They don't??? When they tell you that you can't say certain words. When they tell you that you can't show certain body parts. When they tell you that you can't talk about certain topic. ......that's control. PBS & NPR are the closest thing America will get to it. Perhaps. I consider those stations truly neutral and what television SHOULD be like. I remember seeing nudity and graphic violence on Channel 56 (the PBS station in Detroit) and wondering why the other television stations weren't showing this. At my young age....I didn't realize that other stations CENSORED their programming.
  11. I truly believe that there is an attempt on the part of the Racists to subliminally brainwash or program women.....not just Black women but women of ALL races....against Black men in this society. I think it's being done in the media, in the movies, on television and in other forms. I'm not joking....I'm serious. Whether it's Troy, ProfD, frankster, richardmurray, (I'll leave my name out of it since Cynique would probably object.....lol) or the many other Black men who have come and gone -you have a site full of intelligent and I presume....for the most part....lol.....heterosexual Black men who post here on a routine basis and give wonderful insight and conversation about a VERY wide range of topics. Yet you have less than 3 women who post on this site at any given time and less than a handful who have posted here on a regular basis. Especially compared to the male posters. I would think under NORMAL circumstances that would be attractive to most heterosexual women and even if they weren't actually looking for a husband or boyfriend they'd hang around this site just for the positive masculine energy alone. But that doesn't seem to be the case. This is one of the reasons I believe....truly believe...that the women of this society are being subliminally programmed/brainwashed/conditioned or whatever you want to call it to NOT find Black men attractive and TO find White men attractive. I don't think many of THEM even know why they feel the way they do. It's subliminal....or subconscious. They just know they aren't "feeling" it. But they don't know why. Don't tell me they simply "aren't interested" in the discussions. Since when did intelligent Black men EVER "not interest" women whether it was the topic or just our masculine energy period? Those of you who remember the 70s, 80s, and 90s where you could barely keep sistaz out of the barbershops because they LOVED to hang around the bruthaz and listen in to what we were talking about. They AUTOMATICALLY found whatever we were talking about interesting. Those of you Black men who are over 40.....and I presume that's most of you....KNOW what I'm talking about. The energy is different. Some of you may laugh at the thought of this...because you don't know how wicked but sophisticated some of these racists are. Women are biologically programmed to seek the attention, presence, and comfort of men. When that DOESN'T occur, we should be alarmed as to why.
  12. ProfD The poorest American is more well off than someone in [pick a 3rd world country]. It depends on what you're calling "well off". A lot of people in third world countries may be poor and don't have the TANGIBLE luxuries we have in the United States but most of them have benefits that can't be bought with money -Strong family connections. You almost never hear them complaining about being lonely or unwanted. -Better natural health without a bunch of pills and medications -Simpler societies that are easier to navigate through -Less likely to be incarcerated -Less likely to be shot or robbed Working poor just means one will never have a new car or take vacations but their basic needs will be met. Look no further than gas stations. Price going up like a thermometer. People still at the pump buying it. Makes me wonder how...lol. I put enough gas in my tank to get to work and back; yet I'm seeing hundreds of people riding around in gas guzzling SUVs all day and night smoking weed and bumping their sounds and I'm wondering how they're able to afford it. American poor is built different The poor in America today are certainly more COMPLACENT than they were in other periods in our history. There used to be a time in America where the men would be in the streets shouting and yelling and demanding more jobs with higher pay and better benefits. The question becomes where does that leave AfroAmericans in the mix ....behind.
  13. Rogue AI bots have hacked into governments and public bodies around the world: tech giant OpenAI Tech giant OpenAI has admitted rogue AI bots have โ€˜accessed dozens of organisations around the world including governments, universities, public agencies, and other institutions improperlyโ€™ and โ€˜meddledโ€™ with them. The US company behind ChatGPT said it had now alerted those affected including the financial regulator US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Census Bureau and the US Department of Education. As fears over the dangers of AI grow, with Pope Leo yesterday warning that we โ€˜must not lose humanity to machinesโ€™, alarm bells have rung over OpenAIโ€™s admission that some of the bots used โ€˜extreme methodsโ€™ to bypass security measures on websites. Autonomous AI agents are said to have found and accessed tools reserved for software developers to get census data from the Census Bureau, the company said. OpenAI also admitted its AI agents had used โ€˜misalignmentโ€™ in attempts to get at information from websites, effectively meaning they acted autonomously and did something they were not trained or intended to do. Rogue AI bots have hacked into governments and public bodies around the world: tech giant OpenAI If any of yall believe this.....I have some ocean front property in Michigan I'm selling for the price of a wing ding dinner, lol.

  15. The poorest American is more well off than someone in [pick a 3rd world country]. Working poor just means one will never have a new car or take vacations but their basic needs will be met. Look no further than gas stations. Price going up like a thermometer. People still at the pump buying it.

  16. The FCC issues broadcast licenses. The media agrees to operate within the broadcast rules. However, the FCC doesn't control or dictate content. PBS & NPR are the closest thing America will get to it. Instead of being run by government, America chose its form of Democracy & the system of capitalism. The system has worked out to make the USA the most powerful nation on the planet.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  17. It will not get to a point where the number of feminists & [pick a pill] dudes is significant enough to affect population growth. No different than the alphabet soup community. There's more people in that community now but it still takes heterosexual folks to create them. Right. If Black folks followed the code, there would be no one-night stands or children born out of wedlock.๐Ÿคฃ Back in the early 1980s, HIV/AIDS had everybody shook for a minute. The needle stopped on the record. People stopped dancing & stood still like mannequins. No f8cking. As soon as HIV/AIDS was labelled as a disease among gay dudes & needle-sharing drug users, the record resumed playing & Black folks went back to unprotected f8cking like rabbits.๐Ÿคฃ That's why there's 50+ million Black folks running around today.๐Ÿ˜ My point is there has been & will always be a minority of people who don't get down in the traditional ssnse of relationships &/or procreation. Feminists & [pick a pill] dudes are the modern representation of that minority.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  18. ProfD Employed Americans have just enough money to pay high azz healthcare costs. The government subsidizes it for poor people. Many employed Americans ARE poor. Many are making too much money to qualify for Medicaid but aren't making enough to cover their medical costs and other expenses. Massive unemployment will create a completely different situation affecting white folks. It will lead to UBI & a form of Universal Healthcare (UHC). Non-whites will benefit by default. I don't think they plan on masses unemployment for White folks. I think they're trying to flood America with as many yellow and brown and even African Black (not our Black...lol) folks as they can to make THEM the new working underclass so that THEY will take the brunt of any mass poverty and mass employment this nations slips into from time to time while the Whites sit on top. That's their PLAN. Not sure how well it will be implemented.
  19. First of all, most of the media is controlled by the government anyway through the FCC so in a sense it IS state controlled. But personally, I think America SHOULD have a state-run television channel like some of these other countries so that it operates independently of the financial or profit factor. I don't think governments should be beholden to private corporate interests but should always have the upper hand.
  20. BINGO I think you're giving Cynique too much credit.....lol. YOUR quote of being civilized means giving up freedom in exchange for liberties is an EXCELLENT one and hits the nail directly on the head and sums up the difference.
  21. ProfD Right. I do not believe the number of feminists & [pick a pill] dudes among Black people has reached critical mass or a level to be considered a pathology. We don't want to wait until it GETS do that point, do we? NF Jr. also didn't think Black people should procreate until they were well established & at least 30 years old. Dr. Frances Cress-Welsing had a similar belief. You're right in that I remember Dr. Welsing expressing such beliefs but I don't recall Mr. Fuller expressing them. I remember him advocating a LOOOOOONG LIST of questions people should ask eachother before having sex...LOL. He said they were supposed to look at eachother naked and examine eachother and ask questions like "have you ALWAYS been a woman"....LOL Depends on where you live. Go to predominantly Black cities across America & you'll see a whole lot of pure AfroAmerican children. That's true. Every time I go back to Detroit it's like going back to the Motherland, lol. Sometimes I take fellow African co-workers back to Detroit with me and they say like looks like a major African city. They are really amazed at seeing Black police officers....especially female.
  22. Gotcha. Being civilized means giving up total freedom in exchange for liberties. I still like the water & ice analogy because of the latitude between freedom & liberty within civilization. Otherwise, a human can live away from civilization & be totally free to do whatever they desire.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  23. Employed Americans have just enough money to pay high azz healthcare costs. The government subsidizes it for poor people. Massive unemployment will create a completely different situation affecting white folks. It will lead to UBI & a form of Universal Healthcare (UHC). Non-whites will benefit by default. Here in Wakanda, I don't know of any Black people who are getting any type of welfare or social services. Black folks got money.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž

  25. I agree with you. Anybody who lives inside of a civilization is not free. I'm just explaining the difference between freedom and liberty and while being liberated doesn't mean you're free.
  26. ProfD It will become inevitable when technology puts more people are out of work. Lol..... That's like saying the more people get sick and chronic illnesses....Universal Healthcare will be inevitable. That suggests that the government actually CARES how bad things get for the people in society. Many Black folks have been conditioned for several centuries to depend on the white man for every crumb of their daily bread. The same Black folks will offer several excuses for why they cannot be self-sufficient &/or work with other Black folks to produce & build wealth. Maybe fewer opportunities at the white man's table will force Black folks to do something different. I think it will. Otherwise, right along with poor white folks, some Black folks will collect their UBI checks & whatever monies they can hustle up & try to make the best of it. Not too much different from the current welfare situation. How many MEN do you know get a welfare check? I'm not talking about EBD/food stamps....but actual currency?
  27. Humans cannot be totally free like animals because humans are far more destructive. As a result of our ability to get out of hand, humans impose limitations on themselves in order to function as a civilization.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  28. ProfD You seem to be suggesting that because it's happening in White communities it's NOT a problem or it's not so bad for our people as well. This is a mistake to make for several reasons..... As a student of Mr. Fuller you as well as I know that they will harm their own just to harm our people. They'll put out AIDS and drugs in society knowing some of their own people will die, just to kill more of ours. So you can't go by what's going on among them. The Caucasian community already naturally has a large amount of sexual tension and dysfunction so it's not "new" to them. It's not considered pathological. Sexual anxiety and friction between the sexes is NOT natural to our people and is indeed new and should be treated as a crisis or pathology that must be solved. I don't see as many Black children...truly Black children....running around as I did 30 and 40 years ago. Many of them looked yellowish and mixed. Many of the ones who ARE genuinely Black (brown or dark skinned)....when you look at the parents they're usually from Africa.
