Yes. It seems as if she's been making VERY sensible statements lately! Check out this genius in action: If she starts making any MORE sense.......stand up comedians will start using her as a muse....lol.

ProfD Back in those days, NWA was the Black CNN of the west coast just as Public Enemy was to the east coast. And speaking of Public Enemy....... Notice how skillfully some of the journalists kept trying to get them to diss Public Enemy or say something greasy about them to start a rift? None of them took the bait. I'm not sure if they recognized it as a trick of the enemy, or just legitimately didn't have any opinions about PE one way or the other. They also tried this tactic again by bringing up KRS One was well as mentioning their relationships with Eastcoast rappers in general. I think they were pretty successful in getting a few to talk about KRS One. I'm not sure if he responded to them.

Lol...by this statement, are you suggesting that George W. Bush was more legitimate and better for the nation? “There’s an old saying in Tennessee....I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee too It says, fool me once, shame on. Shame on you. Fool me again....and uhhh....you can’t get fooled again.”

Well you "checked" with the wrong sources, because many people in this nation absolutely do NOT have the right to associate with whom they want. In some cases...it's actually illegal for them to do so.

You're directing that response to the wrong person....lol. That statement was a QUOTE, not my own.

nels Only 7 percent use Obamacare? I find that VERY hard to believe. That would mean that the other 93% of Americans are either on Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance. Perhaps a majority may be....but not 93%.

Well without advertising them....maybe you can tell us where we can find discussion forums that ARE full of "enlightenment"....LOL. Wait, let me guess.... Instagram? Tiktok? Lol....everybody knows how "intellectually stimulating" and "enlightening" the content on THOSE platforms are! I wonder..... How much intellectual stimulation can you really expect from platforms designed for people who can't pay attention for more than 30 seconds???

Chev @Chevdove I'm not a fan of hers, but I do recognize that Arianna IS a great singer. Probably due to a number of factors, including: -Like so many White RnB artists, she grew up observing AfroAmerican singers and started imitating their style -She's of Italian descent so that African blood no doubt had contributed to her vocal muscles, rhythm, and talent in general. Remember, she sang at Aretha Franklin's funeral. I don't have a problem with HER personally; it's the movie itself that I take issue with. I do hear a little about appealing to the LBGT movement, but how? Without having seen the movie, one reason is because one of the main actresses....Cynthia Erivo....is either Lesbian or Bisexual. Anyway, I have not been to the movies in years, so I don't keep up with holidays blockbusters anymore. Don't worry, you ain't missing much. The only time I go is when I have to take somebody who wants to go....lol. Me personally, I'd rather wait until it comes out online and watch it at home on the big screen. But if you haven't been to a movie theater in years...one thing you might find surprising is the fact that they now serve LIQUOR in most theaters....lol.

Chev I didn't know that much about her. Since you mentioned it, I'll start paying a little more attention to her work.

Also, it's not good, the news about this lovely girl. I am so hurt. It turns out that she was hurt really bad. She suffered some kind of brain bleed and is still hospitalized. A few weeks ago, she was supposed to be returned to Jamaica but with a medical team and then taken directly to hospital. I am still praying for a full recovery. Miss Haiti, was given a hard time because she broke the news. She said that the contestants were taken back stage and told to keep it silent but that the pageant officials blamed Miss Jamaica for the fall.

I think it will be worth it. When he's in film, I don't believe you will be disappointed. What I like about the late Angela Lansbury is that she portrayed African Americans in her works that were upscale actors and actresses. She showed history and also the positive aspects as well, no matter how tough some of the subjects were when it came to historical time periods. She is surely one of the best in her field, May she RIP.

You need to stop! For real, though, I don't know much about this movie but I hear it's suppose to be high ranking in the theaters. Isn't this the second one? I see the toys in the stores and know it is about a spin off from the Wizard of Oz. I read a little that Arianna Grande is a great vocalist and so, is this a musical? Also, is this a kids film or is it suppose to reach all audiences. I do hear a little about appealing to the LBGT movement, but how? Anyway, I have not been to the movies in years, so I don't keep up with holidays blockbusters anymore.

@Troy In terms of the words 'gender' versus 'sex' I may not being understanding @frankster My reference to the male gender versus the female gender is based on biology. When a male baby is born and determined to be male, it is due to specific male genitalia. Females do not have the same. So I hope that you clarify why you believe I am wrong because I am definitely confused in your stance.

Does Black skin equate to African? If so then they are all Africans... The word 'black' is distinct from the word 'African' when it comes to etymology. The word 'black' as it refers to the black pigment 'eumelanin' refers to Black skin. But the word 'African' refers to the continent of Africa as we know it today after the earth split. So the skeletons found in Africa today, some of them reflect Primitive humans that were here in this earth long before the African humans with nappy hair and these Primitive skeletons are found all over the earth. So therefore, the earlier names that make them distinct from African humans with nappy hair would means that they have other descriptive names. Seems to me you are contradicting yourself... You are not understanding because you may be missing the fact that I repeatedly said that Primitive humans were shown as being very dark skinned in the Smithsonian but NONE of them were shown with BLACK SKIN. I've explained the distinction of dark skin versus black skin is so many other ways in the past and in other forums. Share you references that reveal humans today have other melanin covering their bodies other than phaeomelanin or eumelanin. Because that is what I am referring to when it comes to this thread in regards to White Supremacy and racism. Perhaps, White Supremacist enjoy what they do in attacking darker skinned African people but, I am referring to their movements in reproduction in order to be light and White skinned. I have no such quest. So then, if this is not your motivation in bringing out other types of melanin, then I am definitely misunderstanding you. From my understanding of Neuromelanin it gives varying colors to internal organs....which is only one of its many functions. Even though this is interesting that it may give colors to internal organs, however, in terms of the human skin covering the human body and the issue with White Supremacy and Colorism, then what does your point in bringing up neuromelanin have to do with this topic?

Sex is Biological. Gender is Social. Maybe I am not understanding how you are using the term 'gender' in context. So, i will refer to the definition of 'gender' to better address you on this point. However, I am referring to gender as meaning 'male by birth with male genitalia' and female gender as meaning 'female by birth with female genitalia'. You are denying the facts of science. When presented with new facts...to deny them is not using the Scientific Method...but Dogmatism Then you show me where there are humans with a distinct kind of melanin covering their body? Outside of this obvious fact, you are not presenting facts at all. Thats words games.. They are about 5 types of known Melanin....Of which 3 are found in the Human body. As science progress more maybe found Go ahead and post the other 3 types of melanin so that we can have this clarified and so that you don't wrongly accuse me of word games. I am referring to Black African people versus Whit Europeans and all humanity in respect to the main skin color that covers our human bodies. So, if I am playing word games, then I encourage you to show how. If the Primitive Human you speak of are Hominin or Homo....then they are Africans Not so. Not all Primitive Hominims are Africans because the Africans with nappy hair manifested on this earth long after the Primitive Hominims existed and roamed this planet. Why is it so important to you that racist white people like Hitler and Mussolini be defined as African? When racist movements in periods like the Chattel Slavery existed, these Europeans were not defining themselves as being African. Why do you want to rewrite history and reclassify White Supemacist as being 'African'? No, it is not the end of discussion, but the reality of a big problem with humanity in the issue with Colorism and White Supremacy. The origins of Africans versus the origins of White or lighter skinned humans is a very important subject. Black African humans were not originally light skinned. They were Black skinned.

i totally disagree. Most his statements are not based on science at all. It's not about gender roles, however, it's about genetics in that if a baby is born male or female. It has nothing to do with people pushing back on gender roles, it's all about genetics whether or not humans are born male or female. It's has nothing to do with what people think, rather it is all about science and genetics. Obviously the truth came about and so, the killings due to ignorance is the problem. Ignorant people want people to believe in lies, but eventually when the truth comes out, then the world has to deal with past acts of human sacrifice committed by ignorant and violent people. Which gene so called white raced people all have exclusively of....that no so called black raced people? What does this question have to do with a rebuttal in your previous viewpoint or the origins of race? I've never said anything about white people having in particular 'white gene'. There is no 'white gene'. If Race was based on white skin.....then Irish Jews* Poles Italians* and some Eastern European would have always have been considered white and treated accordingly. I've never said that 'Race was based on white skin'. You are obsessed with White people, it seems to me. I said that Race is based on skin color NOT White skin. Where then did hominin originate if not on earth? I am addressing the known recognize and accepted places of origin of all known hominin on earth. Hominims did not originate in this earth. If you are addressing where all hominims originated on this earth, then it still would not be specifically Africa because African humans with 'the afro typed hair' manifested thousands of years after the Primitive Hominids were on this earth. And so these Primitive Hominids were roaming all over this planet long before the african humans manifested on this earth. Provide the Gene that is exclusive to White Skin people and not found in Black skin people? There is NO gene that is exclusive to White Skin people! Why are you so obsessed with the presence of White people? For white skin to be 'found in Black skin people' it would be a genetic marker that would reveal that black skinned people had sex with an earlier human that had a mutation.

On returning to this discussion forum, the lack of enlightenment is not unexpected.

Really? God never forgets.

Some people might say that there's nothing like taking a respite from intellectually deficient ignorance.

As more recently reported by the U.S. Treasury Department... "Yes, approximately 7 percent of Americans use the government-run Obamacare insurance marketplace, which provides health insurance coverage through the Affordable Care Act. This means that while it significantly impacts those individuals, the majority of the population is not directly affected by it." It appears more than obvious that "MAGA" may be living rent-free in a lot of people's heads. Losing benefits that they should have never been entitled to nor collected or depended on in the first place. Obamacare was a fraudulent healthcare scheme from its very inception.

Viewpoint: Last time it was checked, freedom of association was a right and not a privilege. No one in the black community is beholden to the black community. In other words, get over it.

Barack Obama was the biggest con job of a president that the US has ever had. Black America fell for his tasty BS and it's still choking on it, big-time.

Seriously? Nonsense. Pointing the finger at other groups when black people are the(ir) biggest problem and threat to themselves, doesn't address any corrective needs. All blacks and black Americans in particular seem to do is complain about nearly everything, instead of think.

A big "NO" here.
