ProfD Just like welfare recipients, more white folks are obese than other groups of people. There are more obese White folks because there are just more White folks in the nation in sheer numbers. But the PERCENTAGE of them that are obese aren't the same as the percentages in the AfroAmerican and Latino communities. However what's interesting is that I'm starting to see a reversal in obesity in the AfroAmerican community lately. For the past 10 years or so there seems to be more and more skinny and lanky bruthaz bouncing up and down the street, lol. Black folks created the Western diet. We were just fine when raising, growing and cooking our own food. That diet high in starch and animal fat wasn't good for our people even then, but our people did more physical labor it balanced itself out. Most of our people were burning a lot of calories and getting a lot of exercise laboring in the fields and later on in the factories and that kept the fat and cholesterol down. Black folks and Latinos outside the US are still eating a ton of starch in the form of rice and potatoes. They are consuming the other stuff as well. Can't speak about the Latinos but as far as Africans go..... Most of the rice they eat is whole grain rice so it's more fibrous and healthy and most of the potatoes they eat are the yellow "sweet" potatoes and yams as well as cassava which is more healthy than those Irish potatoes niggaz love to mash together and make potato salad with. The difference is foods are processed differently in other countries. In the capitalistic USA, food is processed in such a way to 1) feed a lot of people and 2) make a lot of money. True dat.

When I look at those videos, it just reminds me of how far the youth have degenerated intellectually. That news conference was done in 1990 back when all of them were in their early 20s. Those bruthaz clearly weren't the smartest members of the community but they were much smarter and clearly more articulate than most of the rappers out there today. Infact, I don't think you could get most rappers today to SIT STILL long enough to do a press conference of that magnitude. I also believe Eazy E's charisma was under estimated....lol. I've seen many of his interviews and when you listened to the dude and how he moved, you couldn't help BUT to like him...lol.

ProfD When have Black folks been united? As a collective mass? ....it's been a while, lol. As an entire community, FBA's ain't really been united since we came together to vote Obama in office. Tribalism still exists. it is heavy among Black folks in other countries. Even within the country, the people are sub-divided. Much of it is fueled by self hatred. I was at a school today and saw how much Black kids went out of their way to try to get along with the White and Latino kids while clowning on eachother. FBA/AfroAmericans do not have any friends/allies outside the USA. Lol...well shit....how many friends/allies do we have INSIDE the USA???? I think individually, there are plenty of AfroAmericans with friends and connections. Not on the level we'd like, but it exists. A lot of FBA are doing good business in Africa and with Africans both here and abroad. My concern is that the rhetoric I'm hearing from a lot of FBA influencers will tarnish that and in some cases ruin the relationship as people are forced to take sides in a petty squabble. Sure, our people could be more mature and not giggle and laugh at other Blacks for getting the racist treatment. However, when Black people bring the BS on themselves especially after delineating from and throwing shade at us, they are going to get clowned. Somalis never delineated....lol....because they didn't consider themselves part of us anyway. I certainly was not advocating that Black folks fight among themselves. I know that. Most of what I'm posting isn't directed at any comments YOU have made but the comments I'm seeing from a lot of other Black influencers and commentators on social media lately....because I know for a fact that many of them read my posts on this site. How long should victimhood be accepted and/or tolerated? For as long as you can't do anything about it. I'm going to allow someone to get their azz whupped especially if they are not fighting back. Presuming Nigeria was just fronting and the leadership really DID resent the strikes Trump performed on their nation, what would you have had them do in response? What would YOU do if you were the leader of Nigeria and Trump sent missiles into the nation? At a certain point, when it is clear that they are powerless and/or cannot win, I will step in and break it up. But, I have to see effort first. Oh.... So you want to play the role of Renaldo Rey in Friday, huh? When they step to America and end up getting knocked the fuck out, you want to come running to their rescue to "break it up" only for America to flex on YOU TOO and force you to go scampering back to whatever sand pile or mud hut you hailed from...lol. "Sorry to bother you. Come on fool, and get up and pick your teeth up off the ground. Why you come down here fucking with these people?" Ain't no "stepping in" to help somebody fight America or break it up and keep America off of them. America is CLEARLY the dominant force on the planet as far as nations go and for the time being will do as she pleases. I'm not saying it's right....I'm saying that appears to be the way it is right now. Other countries KNOW this, and they aren't going to put themselves in a position to be made an example of. Nigeria did the right thing based on where they are currently. .....which is sit there and TAKE that shit with a smile and HOPE America doesn't take further action. For whatever reason, you choose not to accept the fact that these n8gglets are powerless. Because they're not, that's the reason. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said that our unity is powerful. We have changed the course of this nation both inside and out when we stood together as a people. AfroAmericans aren't powerless....it's that we aren't USING our power as a community and it's laying dormant. I was referring to ALL Black folks allowing racism white supremacy to continue buck-breaking them. What other choice do they have right now, brutha PD? Do you know of a secret weapon Black folks can whip out and defeat the System of Racism with? You don't have to say what it is on a public forum....lol....just confirm that one exists that YOU know of. FBA/AfroAmericans clowning the Somalis and any other group getting the bizness from racists is par for the course. Remember...those Black folks delineated from and have been throwing shade at us for a long time now. As I said before, the Somalis weren't with our community to begin with and the foolishness I'm seeing from both sides online certainly isn't going to bring the two communities any closer together, lol. As for the rest of the non-FBA Africans.....some were down with us, some were not. We can't throw them all under the bus or use THAT as an excuse not to speak up for the injustices that they face. It goes back to the point that I'm making about trying to justify mistreatment to hide one's powerlessness. If we as Black Americans can't help Africans when they are being mistreated we should either admit that and offer our condolences OR just shut the fuck up about it and focus on our own business. But these niggaz ain't doing that. They're JOINING with the racists to attack and humiliate other Black folks. At some point, I might petition FBA/AfroAmericans to stall out the non-FBA Black folks. In the meantime, you might want to tell those non-FBA Black folks to rethink their strategic alliances too. If they decided to, who's the "head nigga in charge"? With the state of "unity" in our (FBA) community today, where or who is the "leader" that they could actually sit down with and have a conversation with to unite the communities? ...other than Minister Farrakhan, maybe. But some of these weed smoking purple lipped niggaz are so delinquent and rebellious that they can't even get along with or unite with their own family members, let alone be trusted enough to unite with Black people from other cultures. Reminds me of something Neely Fuller Jr. said when somebody called up and asked why don't Africans talk to Black folks when they come to America and see them out on the street? Mr. Fuller responded in that deep baritone voice of his: "Why they don't talk to the Black folks? Talk to the Black folks for what? What would they get out of it? ....besides....maybe..... chased DOWN the street if they stopped and tried to talk to the WRONG Black folks!" ....that line still has me laughing when I think about it, LMBAO.

Lol........she ain't Black, IMO.

I do...lol. I remember as a child watching the episode where she and some other crew members left the ship and came back as barbarian versions of themselves and when I saw her body in that outfit I INSTANTLY fell in love. She even looked great well up into old age. I don't mean just "great for your age".....great. I mean "take you somewhere and slobber you down".....great, lol.

A Supreme Being is supposed to be omnipotent (all power) and omniscient (all knowing). I don't know that caring ranks on the radar.

I don't have any positive memories of her. I just remember she was on Star Trek.

So! The issue is not forgets, the issue is what He/She/It cares about. If there is a God then He/She/It cannot be stupid.

@ProfD Cool, what is your most positive memory of Nichelle Nichols?

I have heard there is a petition with 50k signatures on it to deport her back to Trinidad. I don't believe Blacks folks should be deported. They might need a drop squad wake up call though.

I understand that we recognize a person's born day after they have died. However, I don't believe in wishing dead people a Happy Birthday. It's not like they can enjoy it.

Of course not. Each of those dudes were too smart to fall into that trap. NWA respected Public Enemy and KRS-One as peers in the game too.

When have Black folks been united? Tribalism still exists. it is heavy among Black folks in other countries. Even within the country, the people are sub-divided.

For whatever reason, you choose not to accept the fact that these n8gglets are powerless. They just occupying a seat and collecting money. Let's see how much Rep. Ilhan Omar can do to help her fellow Somalis domestically and abroad. I was referring to ALL Black folks allowing racism white supremacy to continue buck-breaking them. FBA/AfroAmericans clowning the Somalis and any other group getting the bizness from racists is par for the course. Remember...those Black folks delineated from and have been throwing shade at us for a long time now. Class clowns never get old. At some point, I might petition FBA/AfroAmericans to stall out the non-FBA Black folks. In the meantime, you might want to tell those non-FBA Black folks to rethink their strategic alliances too.

ProfD It's all a game being played by the global racists. The European racists are in bed with the Arab racists. Both have used their religions, cultures, along with their Black African flunkies to assist them in dividing and conquering Black Africa. The problem is large and complex. My concern is when Black people start turning on eachother....both abroad and at home. Again, your perspective is shaped by your love for and/or bias towards non-FBA Black folks. IMO, ALL Black folks need to stand up and hold their own nuts in fighting against racism white supremacy. Ofcourse. That, and common sense....lol. The Racists don't act independantly....they're GLOBAL and act as a team or unit. So why should the VICTIMS of racism be expected to hold their own and act independently? There is power in UNITY....not everybody trying to hold their own and fight their own separate little battles. But even if we don't fight, the least we can do is not turn on eachother by pointing fingers, giggling, and blaming the victim. Infact, Black Americans can do more to help Nigeria than even Nigeria because this is OUR country in the sense that we have a degree of say so over military actions and can vocally speak out against unjust strikes. You do have Black people in Congress as well as on the SCOTUS and Black folks all over the media who COULD speak out if we were truly interested in justice. The alternative is shut up and bend over for the buck-breaking. They aren't just doing that... Like the Somali fraud situation....they aren't just keeping their mouths shut and staying out of it....they are actually SIDING with Trump and the other Republicans and either blaming Nigeria for being victimized or laughing at them and cheering it on. I said a week ago that when I saw them joining along with Trump's racist attack against the Somalis..... Dog piling on them and laughing at them, it was a sign of how stupid and immature so many of our people are and they'll be doing the same to other Africans next and then when he starts to turn on Black Americans....they'll be participating in THAT TOO. Just like there is no honor among thieves...there is no honor among fools either. Don't think these same Black podcasters who are laughing at or criticizing Africans when they are attacked won't turn around and do the very same things to fellow so-called "FBA" Black folks too....and have some weird ass excuse for doing so.

Just like welfare recipients, more white folks are obese than other groups of people. Black folks created the Western diet. We were just fine when raising, growing and cooking our own food. Processed food is the main culprit. Black folks and Latinos outside the US are still eating a ton of starch in the form of rice and potatoes. They are consuming the other stuff as well. The difference is foods are processed differently in other countries. In the capitalistic USA, food is processed in such a way to 1) feed a lot of people and 2) make a lot of money.

As I mentioned in the other thread, this is not about Nigeria refusing to allow the US to strike Isis. The Nigerian military along with their police if necessary, should have been able to wipe out Isis in their country. Isis is no bigger than a street gang there. I'll re-type: Herein lies one of the *problems* for Black countries. When a man allows another man to fight his battles, he becomes a b8tch. These African countries will never never have true sovereignty as long as white folks are allowed to protect them. Again, your perspective is shaped by your love for and/or bias towards non-FBA Black folks. IMO, ALL Black folks need to stand up and hold their own nuts in fighting against racism white supremacy. The alternative is shut up and bend over for the buck-breaking.

Yeeeessssss..........indeed!

Isis is the equivalent of a gang. The Nigerian military has to out-number Isis in their country. Add in the Nigerian police. They should have been able to wipe out a handful of terrorists easily. Herein lies one of the *problems* for Black countries. When a man allows another man to fight his battles, he becomes a b8tch. These countries will never have true sovereignty as long as white folks are allowed to protect them.

@Chevdove...don't worry too much about it. The word gender from a social perspective allows humans to self-identify (boy, girl, man, woman, other). However, biology does not lie. Every human is born either male or female regardless of how they self-identify (gender). When the rubber meets the road, a human will be treated how they were born...male or female. The USA is the main country dealing with this gender self-identity BS. The current administration is trying to stomp it out.

Happy Belated Birthday Nichelle Nichols

Nigeria didn't have much of a choice BUT to go along with it. They weren't military strong enough to stop it and I doubt any other African nation would have came to their aid.

Let's call it for what it is..... Nigeria got pimp slapped. Nigeria claiming to "ok" this strike or even "ask" for it is just an effort to save face because in reality there wasn't much they could have done to stop it anyway. It's like that DJ Pooh in Friday trying to save face with Deebo by not asking for his bike back.......... He didn't ask for it back because he was AFRAID to. He knew Deebo would only give it back IF he wanted to and WHEN he wanted to and there wasn't shit he could do about it. He knew Deebo could easily beat his ass...lol. His ignorant ass father either didn't know or didn't understand this and tried to FORCE the boy to "stand up" for himself and demand the bike back and the results were as expected: The same situation applies to Nigeria. Trump was going to strike in Nigeria anyway whether the government agreed to it or not and there was little they could do to stop it. Them "objecting" to it or putting up some sort of resistance would have only made things work because they aren't militarily strong enough to do so. But there's another problem......... The REACTION so many Black podcasters are having over this strike. They sound like Pooh's silly ass father when they criticize Nigeria and call them weak or point the finger at them as if they actually could of done otherwise. It shows a level of insensitivity, ignorance, and immaturity that's I'm beginning to expect from them when it comes to criticizing other Black folks for doing or not doing things that THEY clearly aren't in a position to do either. "Why yall let America strike targets in your country like that? Why didn't yall fight back? Man,yall weak....see...that's why yall aren't respected by other nations! They wouldn't have done that to China! Africans need to learn how to be a military force to be respected and reconned with!" These same niggaz on podcasts criticizing Nigeria for "letting" Trump strike inside the country....if the police come up in THEIR house and slap them and their families around and lock them up....ain't shit THEY would be able to do about it besides sit there and cry. So many American Black folks have been beat up and shot down by the police and THEY didn't fight back, but they want to criticize Africans and other Black nations when racism harms them and THEY don't fight back. It is what it is. These Black folks didn't fight back because they weren't strong enough to. Calling themselves "fighting back" ...at this point...would have probably made the situation worse because America would have probably responded with a strike that would have decimated what military power they DO have! We can criticize people for selling out, especially when it's not necessary; however Black people need to stop this habit of attacking fellow victims of racism. It's clearly a cover or way to deal with their own misplaced feelings of helplessness.

Every race has experienced weight gain over the past few decades, however it appears that AfroAmericans and Latinos have experienced the most. A lot of it has to do with the ingredients IN the foods but I believe a lot of it has to do with the foods themselves. On top of the factors that you listed like not getting enough exercise.....our genetics is just different and this Western diet isn't good for most of us. Most Black people are lactose intolerant and shouldn't be drinking milk no matter what being put in it. Most Black people can't handle this large amount of bread and other starches and red meats that are part of a typical Western diet as well as most Whites. The same can be said of Latinos. Most Latinos are really Native Americans who practice a Spanish culture, but the Spaniards of Spain are predominately Caucasian and have different genetics. So you see these Mexicans and other central Americans who are fat and roundish looking because many of them have mixed in their indigenous diets with the Spaniard diet with lots of cheese, milk, red meat, and liquor.

POTUS OJ claimed Isis had been defeated years ago. Now, in retaliation for those 3 servicemembers being killed a couple weeks ago, they are striking targets. No surprise the Nigerian government was in agreement with the strikes. They don't care about Christians being killed by Isis. Otherwise, they would have handled the situation themselves. Follow the money.
