For me it's James Baldwin, Audrey Lorde and Samuel Delaney. Interestingly all are homosexuals and have been interracial relationships.

Two things can be true. The Jacksons could have had a difficult childhood. But, their father, Joe Jackson was determined to keep them from becoming factory workers. Joe Jackson successfully pushed his children into fame, celebrity & stardom. He provided his wife with a better life. I do not recall any Jackson including momma Katherine throwing away the fortunes they made in the music business because of how Joe sacrificed their lives.🤣😎

I am I. Facebook is only for a few minutes. Sometimes I post to my Astrology group. That's very little response or interaction. That's about 800 members. I may get a few comments and 20 likes. I still check in to AALBC. However I don't post that much. Although I may attempt to explain my Time Markers system again. Or I may ask for volunteers to test Astrological Techniques.

In 2016 I said he will be the most divisive unifying President.

@frankster ...the government is threatening to release UFO/UAP files & audio transcripts.😁 Don't get too excited though. Same old grainy pictures & videos. No alien bodies. Former POTUS Obama nailed it when he comically said this country cannot secrets. Anything significant &/or substantial would've been leaked a long time ago.🤣😎

I was more of a Prince farm than MJ. Birth of them had difficult childhoods. Birth when on to become superstars. MJ seemed asexual while Prince was hypersexual and perhaps bisexual as well. Michael was a Virgo Sun. Which are known to be meticulous and control is a big issue. Prince was a Gemini Sun. Which are known to be very changeable. Both had a Pisces Moon. Which known to be done unconventional and other worldly. Both owned a musical catalogue. Both were secret drug users due to pain.

Maybe energetically, although I have one photo as a kid that is somewhat similar. I generally had shorter hair. However as a kid I was pretty visible. I even caught up with a friend on Facebook and he remembered something I used to say 30 years ago. One of my house school teachers said I March to the beat of a different drummer. I think most people that I meet would say the same.

@ProfD If everything you say about the true natute of Black people is right, then they have no reason to complain about being at the bottom of the totem poll. That's where they belong😜

Right. About 74 million people voted for POTUS OJ. I believe we can add another 20 million to that 50 million. That's just voters. Then, there's millions of people im the USA who didn't vote for the jackazz but support his BS. For that reason, I believe POTUS OJ is the personification of what most white folks in this country think & feel but may not have the outlet to express it. Especially white men. They are giddy as h8ll right now. Thankfully, there isn't another white man on the horizon who can take the torch & run with it. This too shall pass.😎

Black people out-number white people in terms of global population. If Black folks were as barbaric as white people have shown themselves to be, we could literally wipe them off the map. It doesn't seem Black folks are wired to crave power & to dominate other people by any means necessary including violence & murder. I'm not referring to the Black folks who kill for criminal reasons. They don't hold a candle to the people who start world wars & exterminate millions of people. I believe the world would be a peaceful place if the situation was reversed & Black folks were on top.😎

I've always contended that if the situation were reversed, black people would be racist against white people. MLK called this "a dislike of the unlike". In all if my years, I've never met a black person who said they actually like white people. They always roll their eyes and say something to the effect that they can tolerate some of them. Even Uncle Toms have an uneasy smile when discussing their sentiments about them. Me, I can "em take or leave 'em. Whatever. I am, however, starting to develope an affinity for the element among them who genuinely hate Trump.And there are millions of them out there who see him for what he is. He has really polarized this country.

That's why Trump's base is so loyal to him. Because he makes rudeness and crudeness virtues. He never takes the high road or personifies the civility expected of a wise diplomatic leader with integrity. And he is the hero of 50 million mostly white Americans.

Star Wars actor Mark Hamill posted this picture.😁 Apparently, despite the fact that POTUS OJ has no class or empathy whatsoever, the MAGA folks didn't appreciate the picture of their beloved leader.🙄 Death is inevitable. It should be easier to embrace & accept especially for someone who is sanctioning the killing of people around the world.😎

https://www.al.com/politics/2026/05/trump-appears-to-call-reporter-a-b-after-she-asks-stupid-question-shes-a-horror-show.html Word spreading around the internet is that POTUS OJ called journalist Rachel Scott a b*tch after she asked him a few questions. Rachel Scott asked POTUS OJ why he was spending money on the Reflecting Pool & White House ballroom renovations while gas prices are soaring. That is a legitimate questions considering the average American doesn't care about those things more than having their own money to afford basic necessities. POTUS OJ never one to shy away from being petty as f8ck didn't appreciate the question(s). So, he verbally attacked the reporter & her employer (ABC News).

As the resident agnostic, I believe religion is another tool of oppression under the system of racism white white supremacy. Don't recall writing that all racists are Homo Sapiens but they are as human beings. None of anything reflects the entirety of it. IOW, the entire species cannot be racist. Racist beliefs is one part of the definition. Racists also seek to destroy &/or oppress others based on race. The broader definition of racism is having the power to oppress others based on race through institutionalized systems. White people have a monopoly on racism. They operate through a myriad of institutions with religion & politics being an aspect of it.😎

Do you apply the same logic to the religion of Christianity? Obviously, I disagree with you in that particular point all racist are Homo sapiens. This does not mean that the entire species is racist, right? I also disagree with the notion that Black people can’t be racist because they lack the power to exercise it. A racist is simply a person who believes that there are inherent differences to people due to the artificial constructive race, especially when it describes inferiority or superiority.. As I always used to tell @Pioneer1 (hope he is ok) his racist beliefs always led to false conclusions, including a wide variety of stereotypes he believed. Racism is bad, but Christians and conservatives don’t have a monopoly on it.

I'm not equating conservatism with racism but the fact that most racists also happen to be conservative is telling.😉 Of course, conservative non-white folks cannot be racist (no power). The fact that they support group & ideology filled with racist people doesn't make a whole lotta sense.😎

@Troy very true. In this dog-eat- dog world, ignorance can be bliss. One person's concern, is another one's indifference. Such is life...

I’m not so sure about that bruh. BTE, my 10% figure is probably in the right ballpark. If 90% of the people use something and 10% use something completely different. The 10% are fringe, marginalized, outside the main stream, “different.” And as such, they exert no influence and others wonder what’s wrong with them. So no, Google search is not a monopoly but for all practical purposes they are. Meta does not have a monopoly on social media among Black people middle-age and older but effectively it does. And because this companies have monopolies they have a great deal of power, which day exert to our detriment. Again, the people on these platforms, using them every day posting pictures of their grandkids liking some rant against Thomas Sowel or sharing some cute puppy meme could care less about what I’m saying. But that doesn’t invalidate what I’m saying.

@ProfD it sounds like you are equating conservatism with racism. Just because most racists are “conservative” does not mean conservatives racist. Shoot, the Klan are Christians.

Right. Unless it's 100%, people still have a choice (10% per your example). They don't have to consume the same biomatter & social media platforms.😁 Just because so many other people do is no excuse. It only justifies being lazy.😎

There's not much difference between them after too many cups of that conservative Kool-Aid.🤣 The same white evangelicals & racist conservatives would put those n8gglets back on a plantation if it was possible. White folks have always used smart negroes who willingly sold their souls to be tokens parroting & supporting the BS that is racism white supremacy. White folks can confer credentials (Stanford emeritus, JD or PhD, etc.), on a token Black person but they cannot give them legitimacy among Black folks.😎

You have to factor in what available. McDonalds is arguably the worst of the hamburger fast food joints -- but they are everywhere and they spend a ton on marketing. Imagine of 90% of the restaurants were McDonalds: In this imaginary world most people loved McDonalds and extolled their virtues of providing nourishment to the hungry without have to get out the car. Singing the praises of being able to get square pieces of pressed marine biomatter between bread at midnight. This is what the WWW has become today. @aka Contrarian YouTube IS a haven for crackpots and snake oil salesmen. They are also for all practical purposes a monopoly and is the #2 most visited website only beaten Google. I've been a user of YouTube for more than 20 years -- before Google brought. If was great for helping people serve videos when disk space was expensive. Google was allowed quickly allowed, unencumbered, to serve as a platform for music piracy. YouTube quickly amassed a catalogue that eclipsed iTunes. In the past doing this, like Napster, were shut down, yet Google was allowed to rack up Billions. Remind me how musicians make money again? One of my up-coming projects is to pull all my videos off YouTube and serve from my own server. I have already gotten rid of Google Adserver (don't you hate going with websites with all those shitty and intrusive ads? Thank Google for that), Google Ad Manage, Google Analytics. Next is YouTube and I will have the planet's only website completely free of Google. No, FB is in no way shape or form reflective anything real -- that is a trick bag.

@aka Contrarian, did anyone challenge, or even question, the post eviscerating Sowell? Of all the positives you mentioned, FB did not invent any of those things, as they were already available on the 'net. FB just managed to corner the market with disproportionate Black support. The "Free exposure" is not free; indeed, FB has made getting exposure more costly and time consuming. Again, this was not true when FB launched but it is true now. The same goes for Google. The incentives have been perverted on social. What drives engagement is what feeds the algorithm. "Influencers" who produce content that pleases the algorithm do not serve us. The two are in conflict. Though I'm open checking out any contrary examples. Google basically trashed their search engine for profit. If anyone discovers new site through a Google search today it was by accident. A new Black-owned indie site has no chance of being discovered through a Google search unless they pay Google I deleted my FB profile and stopped actively using the platform 10 years ago and am better off as a result. The incidental benefits you described are not worth the tradeoff from a personal, business, or cultural perspective. @ProfD There are profound differences better a dimwitted Trump sycophant, an elderly Stanford emeritus Professor, and precocious 30-year-old.

I mainly use YouTube as a music library.😎
