  1. Past hour
  2. Sorry but what you just posted was a little too complex for me to comprehend...lol. Maybe if you or somebody else is willing to SIMPLIFY it so that I can understand your argument a little better.........๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพโ€โ™‚๏ธ
  3. Yeah, and his girlfriend Vanessa Trump was in court with him today. Interesting situation....lol.
  4. Tiger Woods took a plea deal today leaving him with a suspended driver's license for 5 years. As I mentioned above, Tiger can afford to pay a chauffeur to drive him around. Unless Tiger decides to use a golf cart or scooter or electric bicycle to scoot around town. Either way, Tiger doesn't have to worry about doing jail time or community service. Tiger is free to get as drunk or high as a kite since he'll be on the passenger side or back seat of a vehicle.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  5. @ProfD thank you @Pioneer1 I think history proves my position towards advocates , who are not the only type of leaders in the black populace of the usa, is not theory but fact. And, what I suggested for blacks/Native Americans/Whites/ Modern immigrants is their current situation, not any action ahead. And, I didn't rank black leaders by any definitions of effectiveness, but ranked them in terms of their style, which is different based on time or strategy in the usa.
  6. Today
  7. Please clarify something for me....are you saying the Superior Beings that created Black people were different from those responsible for creating other groups of people? I always thought the one Superior Being believers call God was responsible for everything in the known & unknown universe.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  8. Go to any prison...a man's inability to fight & protect himself & his interests could cause him to lose his manhood. Biologically they were still considered men. In the grand scheme of being protectors & providers, they were reduced to over-sized boys. Many male slaves were either buck-broken (raped) or castrated & became eunuchs. Either way, they were stripped of their manhood too. Having the ability & willingness to inflict violence & maximum damage by any means necessary on any eenemy is all about masculinity & manhood. Any man who is unwilling to kill or be killed protecting himself & his own is not considered a real man in the grand scheme of things. The only reason Black men are disrespected by other men is because they have not instilled fear in other men in order to earn their respect.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  9. frankster I am not trying to change anything.... Just trying to let you understand.... First as in Order of Use....then its Wisdom First as in Importance.....Then its Courage Well, at this point we have what Barack Obama calls a FUNDAMENTAL DISAGREEMENT. There is no misunderstanding....we simply don't agree with eachother on this point, lol. So there is no need to constantly restate our positions or go in circles over it. Exactly....to qualify is to limit Yes. Limit the description...not the subject. In both cases or examples above....they are unable to do - hence not free to do If a person never had the ability to do something, there "freedom" to do so wasn't limited or restricted. Their ABILITY is...but their FREEDOM isn't. Freedom and Ability are two different concepts. They are similar...but not the same. That Sex reassignment and Hormonal therapy so far can only change the Phenotype...... Some would consider phenotype the ONLY marker of sex. Who's to say it must go deeper into a genetic level? Who's to say it should STOP at the genetic level; because some would say that sex is also Spiritual and that some Souls are male or female. You said both... Can you provide the quotes along with the context surrounding them? Then let me ask you are you saying that.... Freedom is limited? In theory, no. Freedom is unlimited? In theory, yes. Freedom can be limited? I'm not sure how to answer this question. Once freedom is limited, it's no longer freedom. Make no sense....to me I'm not surprised, lol. You talking about things you know nothing about....but think you know based on white mans propaganda I'm born and raised in the United States...but you say I don't know what I'm talking about? You're suggesting I need "white man's propaganda" to help me to understand what I can actually see for myself??? Yep says the white man sipping lemonade on his porch about the Blackman slaving in the sun from sun up to sun down......As he reaps the fruits of the blackmans labor You're talking about a scene being played out 200 years ago. I'm talking about what's happening today in 2026 around the nation. Many of these White dudes are busy as hell working! ...and trying to keep Black men locked OUT of the workforce. It's not so much that White men work harder, but at this point....collectively...they are more INDUSTRIOUS in their activities.
  10. The inability to do this doesn't take away from their manhood, in my opinion. The Black men who were enslaved for the most part weren't able to protect their women or keep them from being violated and abused by the slave masters. But they were still men. It's less about masculinity and manhood and more a matter of technological advancement as well as defense strategy.
  11. ProfD Not believing in superior intelligence keeps me from being p*ssed off that racism white supremacy has been allowed to flourish & thrive. If a superior intelligence exists, I believe it should be producing balance & fairness throughout humanity i.e. justice as the late NF Jr put it. Believing that there is an Intelligence out there much more powerful than White folks helps ME sleep better at night. If I actually thought that this White man was the only or highest power out there.....I would have taken myself out YEARS ago, lol. I would have smoked some of that crack he put out, ate a pizza, maybe have a threesome or foursome with a bunch of freaks, and then executed my exit plan from this world....when I was much younger, lol. Why even bother playing in a rigged game you are destined to lose in anyway??? Troy Why would a a species sufficiently superior superior to us care enough about what weโ€™re doing to get involved? What if those Superior Beings were the Ones Who made us or were given Guardianship over us? Then it would be Their DUTY to care about us. In nature, even wild animals care for and protect their offspring by instinct.
  12. frankster I'm not just talking about misinformation and disinformation, but HIDDEN information or CONCEALED information. There may be 20,000 pages worth of real information on a given subject but you aren't able to access it through Google or Bing. You Google it and ofcourse you'll get a billion links.....to redundant bullshit. Many of the links you get are to the same pages over and over and over again. You have to punch in a series of secretive words and symbols or specific links directly into your browser to pull them up. @Troy probably could verify this but I wouldn't be surprised if they had SPECIAL computers not available to the public that could access parts of the internet that regular computers like Dell or Mac and others couldn't. You're trying to Google the cure or best treatment for a disease and Google is only giving you 10-15% of the information that's really out there. A bunch of White men in glasses and lab coats have access to the other 85%. I think what we're being ALLOWED to access in the public is only the tip of the iceberg of real information that is circulating out there among the knowledgable few.
  13. First question is how they can consider themselves men if they're unable to protect their women &/or keep them from sleeping with white men.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  14. I am not trying to change anything.... Just trying to let you understand.... First as in Order of Use....then its Wisdom First as in Importance.....Then its Courage True.... But you would not have stone building without grass huts.....Grass huts then using your example is the Science of Construction - laying the foundation for all constructions that fallow. Same explanation above applies here as well....except for the motor - the are both cycles Exactly....to qualify is to limit In both cases or examples above....they are unable to do - hence not free to do That Sex reassignment and Hormonal therapy so far can only change the Phenotype...... Genetically they remain whatever sex they were born.....or a Chimera You said both... Then let me ask you are you saying that.... Freedom is limited? Freedom is unlimited? Freedom can be limited? Make no sense....to me We been here before.... You talking about things you know nothing about....but think you know based on white mans propaganda Yep says the white man sipping lemonade on his porch about the Blackman slaving in the sun from sun up to sun down......As he reaps the fruits of the blackmans labor you are so silly.....
  15. @Pioneer1 when you are walking around your neighborhood and you see rats scurrying about do you take time to look at them and say hey that little guy needs help let me see what I can do but do you just step over with a man go about your business? Why would a a species sufficiently superior superior to us care enough about what weโ€™re doing to get involved?
  16. No problem. We mayne.๐Ÿ˜ That's exactly why I sleep better at night. ๐Ÿ˜ Not believing in superior intelligence keeps me from being p*ssed off that racism white supremacy has been allowed to flourish & thrive. If a superior intelligence exists, I believe it should be producing balance & fairness throughout humanity i.e. justice as the late NF Jr put it.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  17. Sadly a lot of info out there is said or presented in such manner so as to mislead.. Here is 2 simple cheat or secret code I used to decipher mis/dis information from truth....When it comes to Africa. The one who shouts about Promoting Protecting or Restoring Democracy ....is lying Any black man the West is supporting - is an evil sellout and aught not to be trusted or any thing said about him or her by western media believed. There is more but that's a primer I blame Net Neutrality..... Often times the info you seek is there....it's just not on the first page that pops up Or you have to refine and tailor your search more Yep My and a fellow who claimed to be a computer expert....was just discussing the Deep Web and the Dark web... Tried telling him that the Dark Web was created by the US Military....He said no way - not with all the criminal activity going on on it
  18. frankster I said First in Order is Wisdom....regardless they all work in tandem - so you must Think before you Act For some individuals thinking about certain issues is a difficulty in which case they need Courage....and to act in accordance with the Dictates of Wisdom one oftentimes needs Courage You said COURAGE was first and you said it repeatedly...lol. Don't try to change it up now.....lol. Well look it up... Who was the single greatest influence on Rome. GRASS HUTS were an influence on man eventually building brick and stone houses. That doesn't mean grass huts were better or superior....lol. Bicycles influenced the eventual making of the motorcycle. Doesn't mean bicycles were better or superior. To qualify....is to Limit To qualify is to limit the DESCRIPTION of the subject. It doesn't limit the subject, it limits or narrows down the DESCRIPTION of the subject. In other words.... I'm communicating with a poster on AALBC. If I were to QUALIFY that statement I'm actually exchanging posts with frankster on AALBC. That didn't limit YOU in any way or restrict you or prevent you from going from one room in your home to the next. It simply limited or restricted the DESCRIPTION of who I was talking about. Exactly if you do not Know(Knowledge) how to Do(ability) a thing...then you are Unable(Not Free) to do until you learn how to do - hence Limited. Unable doesn't necessarily mean not free. Sometimes a person's ability is restricted by an outside force. Sometimes a person never HAD the ability in the past, to begin with. It takes more than Surgical Reassignment....to make a Biological Female Currently No Drugs Can Change DNA and or Chromosomes.... Perhaps it depends on the society you're living in. Maybe to YOU the difference between male and female is at a biological genetic microbial level...lol. But according to the State of California....it's simply a matter of plumbing and hormones. If you have testicles MINUS a vagina and ovaries, and an abundance of testosterone.....then you are considered a male, regardless as to how you got there, lol. Now you all over the place... check what you been typing.... frankster....when did I EVER say that we were free generally speaking??? To Qualified is to Limited Yes. Limit the DESCRIPTION...not the subject. Again....you are crossing back and forth I'm sure it would appear that way if you have a one track mind and can only see one activity at a time. To a person who knows nothing about driving a stick shift....it may APPEAR that the person constantly changing gears is shifting positions and going back and forth and don't know whether they want to speed up or slow down, lol. It's not the driver that's the problem but the observer and their lack of comprehension that is confusing. I see you have bought into and support the white man propaganda.... Those same white men tell those same Africans.....That we African Americans are Lazy good for Nuthin bums Most Africans in the United States don't need White folks to tell them about us, they CAN SEE how we behave and act in the streets and it only takes them a few years or in some cases a few months to size things up and judge us and our behavior accordingly...lol. Most Africans who call Black Americans lazy aren't doing it because of White propaganda; they do it because of what they've seen and experienced themselves....lol. Your Ignorance runs really way deep.. Lol....man, go on somewhere.....you KNOW I'm right. Too many of our people both in the United States AND in Africa, have a laziness problem. Laziness isn't physical....it's mental. You can be a hard working putting in work from sun up to sun down 7 days a week and STILL be lazy, if you don't want to think for yourself or manage your own affairs. Too many of our people don't want what they call the "headache" of having to manage their own affairs and build for themselves. They'd rather let White folks take care of the managerial aspects of society while they APPLY for jobs assisting them and make enough money to have a good time with. Like Wanya of Boys II Men said in End Of The Road..... " ......and you KNOW I'm riiiiight."
  19. richardmurray Black people who are truly financially independent from Whites? What you're posting SOUNDS great in theory, but so far there have only been a handful of Black leaders who were TRULY independent from White financial support. The 2 most prominent that comes to mind are Marcus Garvey and Elijah Muhammad. Most of the others HAD to have jobs or careers where they relied on working either for White businesses or the government. And even Marcus Garvey and Elijah Muhammad relied on THEIR sustenance from the Black people who WERE working for or getting government checks from White folks to give to them. In order to do what you're suggesting, Black people would really need our own nation or full control of this one. I'll assert that you don't need all of what you suggested to be a an effective Black leader. All you need is intelligence, charisma, courage, and moral correctness. And the more of these characteristics you have....the better your leadership will be.
  20. Now..... ProfD I'm going inch a little closer YOUR way. No homo....lol.....but just tapping into your frequency a little....lol If one accepts the concept that there IS Intelligence superior to human beings, then the next philosophical step would be to ask WHAT are those Intellectually Superior Beings DOING for us???? In other words...... Let's say there absolutely beyond a shadow of a doubt Superior Beings with intelligence and powers far beyond that of humanity. This is been confirmed. Well, what good is it.....or even the knowledge of Them...if They aren't helping us? Especially Black people? White folks taking over the planet, killing and enslaving people left and right and have been doing so for hundred of years....and you're sitting on high floating around the planet like the International Space Station looking down on it and shaking your head feeling sorry for them. We need HELP

"Damn Gyppo": a man push the woman uncaringly hard and she turn in the air to make sure her wrapping is not injured; tired, she lay on the floor; she begin to sleep, when a gentle hand touch her shoulder, and the man attached to the hand pick her up and place her gently in a seat. After moments, she become aware and thank the kind man. He replies: "I apologize for my kin, the whiskey gets them ... I am Luke... here is some milk for your baby" The woman take the milk gently, so a drop does not spill; Luke smile while the woman pull back the blanket, rubbing the air, and pour milk into the blanket. Luke shake his head, giggling at his own inebriation, and ask: "Are you here to meet the father?" "No, her father died ten months ago, beaten to death by villagers" "People can be cruel to Romani" "He wasn't Romani... he was a deranged beast I wish I had not encountered" The woman put the empty bottle own and continue: "Arran... and I thank you my name is Yesenia" "I have a spare room, you and the baby can use it" "Thank you, if we can get it tonight, we will be invisible come sun light" from Richard Murray/ @HDdeviant MY POST I Literature Immaculant MotherhoodTITLE: Immaculant Motherhood from @HDdeviant / IF YOU NEED FURTHER INSPIRATION CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING GALLERY The Book is free to read, it is in the public domain. https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/h-g-wells/the-invisible-man PRIOR WHERE ARE THEY NOW's - the challenges are over, but the fun isn't.

  26. URL https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/art/Immaculant-Motherhood-1375511976 CONTENT TITLE: Immaculant Motherhood from @HDdeviant / Richard Murray It is a wet , cold, Saturday evening in Kilmarnock; a distrusting woman enter a whiskey smelling bar in the outskirts to get a seat; she hold something dear, wrapped in a blanket, and fight through raucous people. "Damn Gyppo": a man push the woman uncaringly hard and she turn in the air to make sure her wrapping is not injured; tired, she lay on the floor; she begin to sleep, when a gentle hand touch her shoulder, and the man attached to the hand pick her up and place her gently in a seat. After moments, she become aware and thank the kind man. He replies: "I apologize for my kin, the whiskey gets them ... I am Luke... here is some milk for your baby" The woman take the milk gently, so a drop does not spill; Luke smile while the woman pull back the blanket, rubbing the air, and pour milk into the blanket. Luke shake his head, giggling at his own inebriation, and ask: "Are you here to meet the father?" "No, her father died ten months ago, beaten to death by villagers" "People can be cruel to Romani" "He wasn't Romani... he was a deranged beast I wish I had not encountered" The woman put the empty bottle own and continue: "Arran... and I thank you my name is Yesenia" "I have a spare room, you and the baby can use it" "Thank you, if we can get it tonight, we will be invisible come sun light" For the WATN: The Invisible Man ?
