@ProfD I don't even recall them selling any part of the company. Last I cognized they were in court or it had been stalled. I need to do more research. if it was a ruse and the objective was to sell a part, then what was in the part sold that satisfied those who attacked it? I wonder

The TikTok ban was a ruse. The current administration facilitated ByteDance selling part of the company.

Not really. One man cannot take care of 56,500 women. Not even if he were given 2 lifetimes. Those dudes were insecure and selfish. Especially if it meant forcing other men to become eunuchs. Now, if a man was naturally missing a part...no problem. Work him like a donkey. Titles are easy to bestow and take away. The owner remains the most powerful if/until overthrown. A benevolent dictator doesn't have to worry about such things. That might work under a benevolent dictator. However, it only takes 1 or 2 to form a coup and want to overthrow an unrighteous owner.

@Pioneer1 From the photos i have seen every winner of the Miss Black America pageant has been a black woman of medium to dark brown skin. Now I haven't seen photos of every winner. I haven't seen photos of every contestant. But the direction you have taken this post about uplifting a black owned beauty pageant has many questions, you didn't provide answers for when you shifted directions. 1. How do you define actual Black ? You mentioned "actual Black" but don't give a clear definition of how can be determined actual Black. Moreover why should the operators of Miss Black America adhere to such a definition? For example, if a woman with with two parents from india born in NYC with skin asians will call very dark, which is equivalent to what people in the USA call black, which is common among many Indian people, wants to run for Miss Black America, does she fit what you mean by Black? From a phenotypical perspective, said example woman is Black. Here are three images of kalo or black , indian females, older woman, young woman, child. All three are black. I don't know if habshi, which is the equivalent to Descended of Enslaved. Cause some ancestral indian people are black. Like some ancestral statian people, native americans, are black. Native Americans from southern tribes, the caribbean, are phenotypically black and not african. So I know you know your thoughts and definitions but you have to display them. If for no other reason it makes the multilog easier, unless you want to argue. 2. How do you define not-black or mixed? You mentioned " non-Black and mixed people" but don't give a clear definition to either term. Is mixed by phenotype, skin color ? is mixed by phenotype of ancestors? If mixed is by phenotype of ancestors, is it a one drop rule or is it a just immediate parents? For example, this is Fredi Washington. Who played the Peola character in the earliest film version of "immitation of life". She called herself black. She rejected hollywoods desire to have her lie about her background and claim she is white. And lived most of her life as a maid/nurse in Harlem. She definitely looked mixed. I call people like her yella. She is definitely more yella than Beyonce or Hally Berry or Dorothy Dandridge. And arguably even more yella than Hailee Steinfeld which says a lot. But she is black to me. From your definition she is mixed, so she couldn't apply for Miss Black America, correct? 3. Are you suggesting each candidate must be a citizen of the USA? I didn't read the rules of entry so I don't know how citizenship fits in Miss Black America. But a Black woman from Africa is Black so if she lives in the USA, why can't she run? Maybe she needs to be a USA citizen. I argue that is an even requirement, but is it mandatory? You didn't mention Hailee Steinfield. But, the issues you mention here are not about the participants but the organizers of events. The organizers of events aren't being self haters, the organizers of events are doing what you did in your reply, not be concise or specific in definitions. Expecting everyone else to somehow know what they are thinking or how they define. That isn't functional. If you wanted to block out certain black women... or any women, all you have to do is make the rules clear. But if the rules don't block out certain women from running then why shouldn't they run. And as for the host of events or people whether black or non black, no matter their language or background, who have a positive bias towards the phenotype called white and a negative phenotype called blacks , black people who produce/pay for events need to know who they are hosting or if non blacks are producing, what can you expect from the host of a non black show but adulation to non black beauty even if the show is labeled for black beauty cause the owners are not black. When you organize an event it is up to you to be clear, concise on definitions, not the people entering.

ProfD Take a deep breath and walk with me here. ....a walk around my island? "By all means.....come my friend. Let us....as they say....sharpen steel." Semantics aside, what is the difference between a *woman king* and a masculine gay dude? The 56,500 women on that island won't be looking at the gay dudes as "inspiration". They won't see them as role models who'd inspire them to acquire power and eventually overthrow my position as head of the island....like that "woman king" figure would, lol. Hopefully, you're not looking at it from the angle that *masculine gay dudes* won't be chasing after 56,500 women around. Why shouldn't I? If they were truly gay.....wouldn't this be one of the benefits? This is one of the reasons the old kings in the Middle East used to use EUNUCH to guard their harems instead of normal men. I did type that a woman king and her army would control the island. I was referring to them whatever form of security or protection you would expect from those masculine gay dudes. Look at her title "woman king". That means SHE would be "king" or have complete authoritarian rule over the army if not the entire island....not me. I'd just OWN it...but she'd be RULING over it essentially. That wouldn't work out. With the gay militia....lol....they'd just be a police or security force without a leader except ranking officers necessary to keep discipline.

Even among Latino immigrants, the darker folks (brown and Black) are being deported more than blancos.

ProfD AI is being created to do things humans are either too slow or incapable of doing efficiently and quickly. AI is designed to replace humans wherever feasible. I hear (read...lol) you. If this is the case...... Then just like you had human beings who's job it was to find ways to employ their population with good paying beneficial jobs...task AI to do it! Surely AI....as smart as it is...should be able to come up with ways to employ 10 or 15 million unemployed workers. Producing jobs cost money. That's not the way capitalism works. Sure production costs money....but the SELL of that product offsets the cost. The profits you get from it's sale not only covers the manufacturing of it but incentivizes you to produce more. That's also how capitalism works.....lol. That's where capitalism and free market comes into to play. Enterprising folks are allowed to make money first. The government makes rules and regulations to reign in capitalists and provides essential services for people who cannot afford it for one reason or another. The government has never really been in the business of creating industrial jobs. It leaves that up to capitalists within the free market system. It did during the Great Depression. FDRs New Deal produced MILLIONS of jobs that this nation is still benefiting off of today. But the jobs don't necessarily have to be industrial. As mentioned before they could be in the medical field, in defense, in education, in agriculture. There are literally BILLIONS of opportunities waiting to be taken advantage and AI could be used to come up with and manage them.

The statisticians will compile some numbers when the dust settles and smoke clears. Good luck fact checking. As DJ Khaled song All I Do is Win said...and they stay there.

Take a deep breath and walk with me here. Semantics aside, what is the difference between a *woman king* and a masculine gay dude? Hopefully, you're not looking at it from the angle that *masculine gay dudes* won't be chasing after 56,500 women around. I did type that a woman king and her army would control the island. I was referring to them whatever form of security or protection you would expect from those masculine gay dudes. We already had a whole thread covering your disdain for that whole situation. That's the reason I mentioned it here. Comedic source material. Woman king as a Juxtaposition to masculine gay dudes.

I wouldn't refer to it as a secret, but it certainly wasn't something people talked about much. When the subject of immigration came up...it almost always centered around Latinos and what Trump was going to do with THEM. However I already saw how Black immigrants had been treated in the past and how they're still being treated, so I wasn't going to assume anything but wait until the "get down" comes to see who they really went after.

Yes, and I'd especially like to know the DEMOGRAPHICS of those who actually left. I don't know about the rest of the country, but I haven't seen much of a drop in the Latino population in my locality. The same ones who were living down the street from me 2 years ago are STILL there.....with an extra 2 cars....lol.

If I were silly enough to accept some "woman king" with her own army....taking charge of my island, there would be no need for ME on that fucking island....lol. Speaking of "woman king". I didn't like how that movie was titled. It gave the impression that Black people had limited vocabulary. What's the difference between a "woman king" and a "queen"?

The obvious reason is because white folks own the porn industry. More importantly, the *rules* for what can and cannot be said and done in a porn movie are different from movies rated R or below. Still, Black actors can refuse to play roles for whatever reason. They don't have to be in white porn movies. Produce their own. Herein lies the biggest hurdle or challenge for Black folks..,.dependence on white folks for every crumb of their daily bread. Whenever Black folks decide to own sh8t i.e. ownership...we can make rules and call shots. Otherwise, as an employee i.e. working for someone else is always subject to their rules and regulations.

Without a doubt MANY do this! And I'm in no way trying to excuse or justify their behavior. Well.....I will justify it just a LITTLE BIT...because we haven't given them too much of an alternative....lol. Like Neely Fuller Jr. often said: "You constantly here Black people say, 'We need to get together' Get together for what? Unite to do what? What will me or any other Black person get out of just 'getting together'?" Many AfroAmericans are understandable upset and ever hurt that many Africans don't want to unite with or even be around AfroAmericans and talk down on our people without putting themselves in THEIR position and asking what would the benefit be of linking up with us? What can WE do for them? They came here to find financial success and escape violence or oppression, not form a Black liberation army....lol. So that's one side of it. Embracing the enemy is another side. I agree that going out of their way to side with open racists is intolerable and must be called out.

I believe prostitution is still pretty much illegal across the board, but I'm not sure what the laws are regarding porn for consenting adults. I'm not sure what the boundaries are but it would seem that anti-discrimination and anti-racism laws would cover the porn industry too. If a White man isn't allowed to grab a Black woman and call her a "Black slave bitch" at Home Depot or on the set of NBC.....why should he be allowed to do it in a porn flick?

I think MLK is one of the greatest leaders AfroAmericans and this nation period has produced. He was and is a brilliant and brave man. If I had to name 2 things where I thought he went wrong................. 1. He focused too much on integration instead of empowered separation. He should have fought for the laws to be changed at every level to make sure we had equal access and opportunity at every level in the United States and fight to make sure those laws were enforce. Outside of that, the focus should have been on progressing our ethnicity and culture as AfroAmericans. 2. Him and the rest of the Civil Rights leaders at that time should have focused more on fighting STRICTLY for the rights of FBA/AfroAmericans and not other minority groups. They should have been very specific about the Civil Rights bill making it for us alone. Not that other groups shouldn't have rights in this nation, but that they should have been the ones to fight for it themselves....not rely on us to do the fighting. The second one, it's really hard to blame on him because it's not something he could have really forseen. He was taken from us in 1968 and we didn't get a mass influx of immigrants into this nation until the 70s and later, so he didn't realize....as most of the Civil Rights leaders didn't....that so many of these non-White immigrants who BENEFITED from the Civil Rights struggle would actually come here and side with White Americans.

Whatever happened to the Tiktok ban? In hindsight the ban didn't kill tiktok but merely stymied its growth in the usa. Tiktok was poised to knock meta/facebook/instagram or youtube out of the water and a media campaign led to governmental or private industry rules on workers which stymied the websites growth in the usa, although, tiktok's growth in the holistic human community is unrivaled. Tiktok is the world's biggest social media service.

Not to take this thread in another direction but............ Since we're on the subject of Black women and beauty pageants, the issue of colorism should be addressed. We need to make sure the Black women who engage in and especially those who win these contests should actually be BLACK. Too often you have non-Black and mixed people who "back door" their way into these events and end up being hoisted over and on top of the actual Black participants. This is nothing but a product of self-hatred. Looking at a woman who is obviously not Black or looks like she's almost White...and calling HER "the most beautiful" woman in the community. One of my biggest problems with Beyonce wasn't Beyonce herself...but how she was often glorified as a symbol of "Black" female beauty. Whenever the subject of comparing female celebrities by race, Whites and Latinos would promote the women they thought were the most beautiful but when it came to Black people.....a lot of bruthaz would promote women like Beyonce or Halle Berry back in the day. Women who obviously weren't Black. A lot of pro-FBA podcasters are promoting lightskinned women as "ideal" models for who an FBA is or what an FBA looks like. They're pushing Beyonce and Angel Reese.

In my view, his choice was honest or true, even if it cost him and Deep Space Nine having even one film, afterwards.

Do you know the date's range is from the 15th to the 21st of january? What are your thoughts on MLK jr's advocacy for Black Empowerment in the USA coexisting nonvilently alongside the empowerment of non blacks? In hindsight where did MLK jr , make mistakes?

Regardless of the industry, people can set boundaries before they sign a contract. For example, there are certain things Denzel Washington will not do in his movies. The producers and directors have to respect it. Even in a porn movie, if Black folks do not want to mistreated or disrespected, they have to make that case for themselves. Otherwise, morality is a non-issue when someone decides to work in the porn or prostitution industry.

Clearly Tariq does not share your affinity for non-FBA/AfroAmericans. Same goes for the other podcasters. The onus is really on those labelled as tethers to come to the table and rewrite the narrative. Same goes for FBA/AfroAmericans who bootlick and shill. If non-FBA/AfroAmericans are not on some sellout, bootlick or shill sh8t...they need to state that case. The reality is that many tether suspects do cozy up to white supremacy. They will disrespect FBA/AfroAmericans in order to carry favor with white folks. Just as I do here on the forum, I call balls and strikes when it comes to ALL Black folks. I see all sides of the issue(s).

I thought we already HAD Black adult owned websites....lol. Ofcourse some Black women need them, especially if they're working in the adult industry. As long as it doesn't involved underaged or non-consenting adults.....I'm cool with it. My biggest concern isn't the content so much as the LAWS that those sites are subject to and how they may or may not be used against them. What do I mean? America is not a theocracy, but religion and so-called "morality" is often weaponized by racists to demonize Black people or their Black targets and take away public empathy for them. You saw this with the Puff Daddy case and how he was demonized in part because he liked to throw a lot of sex parties. Sex parties aren't in and of themselves illegal. But even if you aren't doing anything illegal, they'll often times use your sexuality to besmirch your image and make you look like a "bad guy" so when they DO come after you, you won't get a lot of public support because you are looked at as some sex crazed pervert who needed to be punished. In a lot of porn, Black women are mistreated and berated and even racially insulted. "How about we play slave and master? You're gonna take this white cock you black whore! I'm gonna have you calling me 'massa'. Say it...gal. Don't call me daddy, call me 'massa'!" But because it's porn and the public sentiment is "well she shouldn't be engaging in it anyway".....their complaints go unheard. Many just don't even bother to complain at all. Ghetto Gaggers is a good example of racist shit like that. All the more reason Black people should have their own adult-sites and outlets that comply with all laws.

There would be no need for those dudes if you accepted a Woman King and her army on your island.
