  1. Past hour
  2. MJ seemed relatively normal until Thriller catapulted him into the stratosphere. Then, there was skin bleaching, surgeries, exotic pets, children as friends & his adopted white kids & drugs. Mike left up outta here a whole mess.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  3. Obviously, I haven't been around here long enough to know of any former posters. It is great that they are still producing content. Would be great if those indiciduals were still posting here but we know the net effect of the white man's ice. Even the most intelligent, educated, astute & well-written/spoken brothas & sistas fall for the ice. Amusing to me is Black folks who talk sh8t about the same white folks who own the platforms they are using to host their content i.e. Fa*ceb**k, Y*uT*be, Gram, Tok, X, etc.๐Ÿคฃ There's always the hope that Black folks will find their way out of depending on white folks & become independent & autonomous.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  4. @aka Contrarian...thanks for sharing the article here @ AALBC. Enjoyed reading it. Of course, I've never had any use for folks like Thomas Sowell & Clarence UncleThomas. There have always been & will always be Black folks who willingly take up a seat of contentment within the system of racism white supremacy & support it. Unfortunately, whenever Thomas Sowell closes his eyes for eternity, another conservative coon will take his place.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  5. Today
  6. I know the question was for @Tesa , but only equal things should be treating equally. A couple of beers over cards is fine; crashing your car or losing your job because you are drunk not so good. Gambling is fine, but losing your house from a gambling debt not so much. Moderation for most things is fine Things like cigarettes, crack, meth, etc, have no real benefit that I'm aware of... and should only be available in the Black market.
  7. Yes, I know, but the software can't tell the difference. @a_womon another blast from the past.
  8. Oh, don't get me wrong -- I appreciate you doing that @aka Contrarian Please keep it up. I was just lamenting the fact that some of our favorite posters have left for Facebook and others who view themselves pro-Black but are actually more pro-Zuck.
  9. Yesterday
  10. @Troy Well, as I previously stated, the articles that I occasionally re-post here are posted on FB not by the people who wrote them, but by others who are quoting them. I share some of the provocative ones here sometimes to just start conversations...
  11. @Troy Well, former AALBC contributer. Linda Chavez, was who posted the article on FB. All these articles I re-post here have been posted there by just regular people who found them interesting, like me. One of the people who "liked" the article was another former regular here, "a woman". And just for the record. that quote that you attributed to "aka contrarian" was not my words. That was still tdka speaking.
  12. It seems Michael needed help throughout his life and everyone just tried to exploit him, so I give him some grace. I have zero interest in seeing the film.
  13. Maybe Del ditched the site for Facebook ๐Ÿ˜‰
  14. Good 'ole (aka Shannon King), you going back more than 15 years. Here is a conversation "On Percival Everett" from 22 years ago. It is hard to imagine we had conversations like this here. I took it for granted, because that is what we did on the Internet back then... before Facebook launched and all the Black people flocked there. It only took a few years to reach that level imagine if we continued to the same trajectory for the next 22 years! Today Yuki posts on interesting things on Facebook and Mark is richer for it. @aka Contrarian I guess I'm sounding like a broken record griping about Brothers supporting Facebook. We (Black people) simply do not support Black platforms anymore, and this lack of support has only increased over that past 20 years A Platform like Facebook can do so much demonstrable harm yet we double down in our support. So, if it is not obvious, I'm a little salty about this. I'm not losing any sleep over it, cause I'm gonna continue to do what I do regardless. There are however, indications that the tide is turning, so there is reason for optimisms ๐Ÿ™‚
  15. @Troy No wonder Del didnt elaborate. Probably was wondering if AI was at work.๐Ÿคซ
  16. The derivation or meaning of names like "Tdka" is unknown to me. I see them around a nowadays and I'm sure they mean something. Maybe I'll ask an LLM. From my seat, anyone in 2026, actively working to enrich Mark Zuckerberg can't justify being so critical of a Sowell (one in a glass house... ) That is not to say that I disagree with the critique, I just don't know why any Brother is freely giving long form analysis to Facebook. We already learned this lesson. I looked for the book, Fundamentals of Economics (2027, 900 pages), to add it to the site, but I could it. The only books by Tdka were on Amazon. Again, nevermind.... I'm glad you shared it here @aka Contrarian
  17. Another one of my FB friends who was a member of the old crowd is my boy Shannon King who went under the user name "Yukio" and who also went on to become a college professor and a published author. Below is an article he posted which was written by Peter Birkenhead and which I found very timely. "I was about to write that I donโ€™t think white people understand how much we are about to lose as a consequence of Black people losing electoral power, that we donโ€™t have anywhere near an adequate appreciation of how much everybody in this country has benefited from the Voting Rights Act and the seismic political, legislative and cultural shifts it set in motion (thereโ€™s no Obamacare without the VRA โ€” hell, thereโ€™s no Obama,) that almost everything we do every day has in some way been affected for the better by the democratization of political power and the corresponding investment in the public good represented by the VRA and its countless direct and indirect ripple effects (wether or not you send your kid to Head Start you have a hundred reasons to be grateful that other people send theirs,) and that I doubt very much that many of us would like to go back to a world lacking, for instance, the countless contributions, innovations and inventions of Black scientists, academics, engineers and artists subsidized by grants and institutions that would not themselves have existed but for the pressure exerted by people who could finally vote and have their votes weighted fairly. But then I remembered who we are, and how not once since the Voting Rights Act passed has a majority of us voted for a presidential candidate who supported the immeasurably better future that it ushered in, or the many better futures it would still no doubt have delivered. I remembered that we are white people, and that there is nothing โ€” absolutely, positively nothing โ€” that we arenโ€™t willing to go without if it means Black people go without more."
  18. This is not Del,. Del just popped into my mind when I saw the cover :-) I bet it does favor him as a kid
  19. As I've previously mentioned, I'm still in touch with several members of the old crowd who used to post here, and who are now my FB friends. One if these is a good ol sista named Linda Chavez and below is an article by someone named Tdka Maat Kilamanjaro which she posted and which I found very compelling because it takes to task a famous black pundit, revered by many. Below is the article. "Thomas Sowell---he is 95+ years old, he'll be dead soon, so I am making sure I analyze the mess he has made for over 65 years of slick ruling class capitalist propaganda...before he passes away. Out of Maatian respect for an elder. He like Clarence Thomas, has done his share of dirt for the White far right wing Heritage Foundation and other far right-wing Nazi organizations that paid him. He was but a bird paid to sing, yet another Black empty wagon rattling down an empty dirt road making noise by say nothing of substance. Once you peel things back, these are elementary school lightweight hired negroes just trying to pay their bills from the very Nazi Whites systematically impoverishing Blacks since slavery. Intellectual arsonists for these parasitic Whites, starting fires and blaming the Black populations they burned up in the the flames. Our problem as a people is our overall low level of capacity to think critically. So lightweight Black stoolpigeons like these two, Sowell and Thomas, can essentially run rings around most of our people by just talking mess with big words amplified with the Whiteman's international mass media. The moment you hear these windbag negroes of the far right wing Heritage Foundation are speaking on something or publishing something, you should automatically know the White Nazi garbage that will come out of their mouths. They are on the payroll. They are ignorant slick-talking mindless tools, effectively bought and paid for. They have zero independence of thought. If they deviate fundamentally from the Whiteman's right-wing script, their jobs and pay ends. But why fault them for being the degenerate enslavers mouth pieces they have been since these enslavers used chattel slavery to build the White capitalist system in the beginning? Even in the progressive community of Blacks the standards are just too damn low because most opposition Blacks are trying to be capitalists to get wealthy just like the Whiteman. So they, in their usual infantile way, just straddle the fence, tap-dancing around thinking they are going unnoticed. Foolishly deluded that they are some how independent. Playing both sides. As a result, these Black miscreants serving the far right Whites should have been intellectually crushed years ago. For decades these Black propagandists for Nazi Whites have had free road to just slander our poorest for their poverty when they were systematically made impoverished by this parasitic capitalist economy these Whites created for their own benefit. We explained this in detail in our newest research Fundamentals of Economics (2027, 900 pages). Below is a summary of the infantile right-wing rhetoric Thomas Sowell has propagated for over a half century. ANALYSIS The central error in the conservative economic interpretation associated with Thomas Sowell is that it treats social outcomes primarily as the cumulative result of culture, incentives, and individual behavioral patterns while systematically underestimating the historical construction of unequal material conditions. This framework often abstracts present-day economic behavior from the long development of murderous White genocidal conquest, 300+ years of enslavement, land theft and dispossession, deliberate labor stratification, imperialist colonial extraction and outright theft, 100 years of direct segregation, deindustrialization, and state-directed capital accumulation that shaped modern racial class structures. As a result, disparities are frequently interpreted as evidence of dysfunctional values or dependency rather than as the predictable outcome of historically produced differences in ownership, infrastructure, political power, education access, labor-market positioning, and wealth transmission. A major weakness in Sowell's approach is its tendency to isolate โ€œfree marketโ€ outcomes from the state structures that created and maintained them. The modern capitalist economy in the United States was never a neutral competitive field. Northern industrialization, railroad expansion, suburbanization, banking growth, agricultural development, and university formation were all heavily subsidized through state intervention, land grants, military expansion, exclusionary labor laws, racially restrictive housing policy, and infrastructure spending. And before that genocidal chattel slavery of Blacks by these rotten Whites and their predatory economic and land stealing government. Black populations were historically excluded from many of these state-supported wealth accumulation systems---of which Whites overwhelmingly benefited from. Therefore, arguing that contemporary inequality merely reflects differences in "decision-making" ignores the fact that entire racial populations entered the modern economy with radically unequal access to capital, land, credit, and protected labor markets. These rotten Whites monopolized wealth accumulation solely for Whites. They still do, by and large. Sowell's childish and silly interpretation of Black unemployment particularly suffers from this narrow causal lens. The argument that welfare programs or minimum wage laws produced Black unemployment reduces a complex structural process to a simplistic incentive hypothesis. Black unemployment expanded dramatically during periods of automation, deindustrialization, union decline, suburban capital flight, urban disinvestment, discriminatory hiring, and the relocation of manufacturing overseas. Entire Black working-class urban communities had been integrated into industrial labor markets during the mid-20th century, only to be devastated when industrial capital abandoned cities in search of cheaper labor and higher profit margins. The destruction of manufacturing employment removed stable wage structures that had previously absorbed semi-skilled labor. This collapse cannot be adequately explained by welfare incentives alone because the disappearance of jobs preceded or outweighed many behavioral explanations. Furthermore, the conservative claim that government assistance weakened Black work ethic often reverses causality, inverting logic in an essentially infantileattempt to blame the victims. Welfare expansion was itself a response to structural unemployment, low wages, urban poverty, housing segregation, and labor exclusion. Assistance programs did not create mass poverty; rather, mass poverty created pressure for social assistance. Even where dependency effects existed, they operated within an economic environment already characterized by insufficient employment opportunities, weak public investment, unequal schools, and racialized labor segmentation. The deeper issue was not merely whether aid existed, but why 10s of millions of Black and other people required aid in the wealthiest capitalist economy in history. Simply asking Sowell this question would have forced him out of his lazy childish mess. The treatment of food stamps and social programs also tends to ignore how capitalism structurally produces surplus populations during technological change and labor restructuring. Modern economies continuously generate underemployment through mechanization/AI/robotization, productivity increases, and capital concentration---the wealth for a few increase and poverty for many increases. Social welfare systems emerged partly to stabilize consumption, sell goods that could not be sould profitably, prevent resulting unrest, and preserve market order under conditions where the labor market alone could not guarantee survival. To portray welfare recipients as the primary source of economic dysfunction ignores the far larger structural processes of speculative finance, monopolization, wage suppression, tax policy favoring capital, and declining labor bargaining power. Our dumbest negroes calling themselves conservative fall for this elementary school argument all of the time. The critique of civil rights legislation similarly contains serious contradictions. Here the stupid Sowell argument that anti-discrimination laws interfered with voluntary exchange assumes markets naturally punish irrational discrimination. Historically, however, racial exclusion was not merely individual prejudice but an organized White predatory economic system enforced through law, violence, custom, labor unions, banks, real estate markets, insurance systems, and state institutions. Segregation persisted for generations precisely because markets often accommodated profitable discrimination rather than eliminating it. In many regions, employers, landlords, and businesses collectively benefited from maintaining a cheap and politically weak racial labor force. Without state intervention, these systems had little internal incentive to disappear. The criticism of affirmative action also often treats competition as occurring on a historically level playing field. Yet access to wealth, educational quality, inheritance, professional networks, neighborhood safety, and political influence are cumulative and intergenerational. A society cannot legally exclude Black populations from asset accumulation for centuries and then expect โ€œmeritocraticโ€ equality immediately after a few formal barriers are removed. Economic inequality reproduces itself materially across generations through property ownership, social capital, school funding, and access to investment. Ignoring these inherited structural inequalities leads to an overly individualistic reading of success and failure. Another major flaw is the tendency to selectively interpret immigrant success stories as proof that systemic barriers are insignificant. These immigrants were purposely/deliberately set up in Black communities---liquor stores, gas stations, hair and weave shops, pawn shops. Tax friendly profit enterprise zones are set up for them throughout the country. Different groups entered the United States under radically different historical conditions. Many immigrant populations arrived voluntarily, often after exclusionary immigration systems filtered for education, skills, or capital. Descendants of enslaved populations emerged from centuries of uncompensated labor, racial terror, political exclusion, educational suppression, land theft, and targeted segregation within the same national economy. These are materially distinct historical trajectories---and as slick as Sowell and others are, they know this. Comparing groups without accounting for these structural differences obscures the specific economic legacy of racial slavery and segregation. The conservative framework also tends to underestimate the role of wealth versus income. Even when Black incomes rose substantially after the civil rights era, wealth inequality remained extreme because wealth accumulates intergenerationally through property, inheritance, business ownership, and investment access. Housing discrimination, redlining, exclusion from New Deal programs, unequal GI Bill implementation, and banking discrimination severely limited Black asset accumulation during the very decades when white middle-class wealth expanded most rapidly. Thus, focusing narrowly on behavior or income statistics without examining wealth structures produces incomplete conclusions. His treatment of Black business development similarly overlooks structural barriers in credit markets, procurement access, insurance, transportation, commercial zoning, and capital formation. Historically, Black businesses often operated within segregated economies lacking access to mainstream banking and investment networks. Integration alone did not automatically create equal market power because large corporations possessed economies of scale, distribution networks, advertising advantages, and access to finance that smaller Black-owned enterprises often lacked. Government assistance programs sometimes failed, but the deeper issue was that Black enterprise existed within an uneven capitalist structure shaped by concentrated capital ownership. Finally, the broader ideological limitation of this conservative analysis is that it often treats capitalism as fundamentally neutral and self-correcting while locating dysfunction primarily in state intervention or culture. Yet modern capitalist development has repeatedly depended on coercion, imperial expansion, racial stratification, cheap labor systems, land seizure, and uneven development. Racial inequality in the United States was not external to capitalism; it was historically integrated into its labor organization, agricultural expansion, industrialization, housing markets, and financial systems. Therefore, many of the social crises affecting Black communitiesโ€”unemployment, homelessness, underfunded schools, mass incarceration, unstable housing, and concentrated povertyโ€”cannot be fully understood as moral or behavioral failures detached from the material organization of the economy itself. Again. Get up to speed...Sowell is now just another senile has-been tool of the lowest element of White Nazi ideological thought. Soon to be buried literally and figuratively." End of article.

  21. @Tesa good point:) do you think they should be treated equally?
  22. Last week
  23. Hi Family, please hoping it's ok to share a storlyine for Black Panther 3 I felt as a calling from God, to heal and resolve ancient Trauma. Based on real history, that has been lost, involving Humans & Reptilians. Represented In Marvel as "Skrull" & "Chitouri" represented in the Bible as the snake, in the story of Adam and Eve, "Adam" in Arabic means human, and the first humans were African. So this ancient war between reptilians and humans, especially with all that's on the news today with E.T.'s, I really feel is important to be shared in Black Panther 3, to bring peace, and help prepare the Earth for a greater unity, so we can all heal this ancient trauma and finally move forward together. This is the plot idea - and if you believe it can help please comment or share ideas how can we share this with Black Panther 3 creators, how can we share together. Please I beg any admin to ok this post I promise it's for the benefit of us all. Both me & my partner that lives in Zambia, are literally dying sharing alot of media to uplift that few are seeing, and we are working with our all to heal this ancient trauma that few see how much it is actually impacting us today. So I please pray for patience and not quick reactions/judgments family please๐Ÿ™(I can try adding links if post is approved ๐Ÿ™) So the plot idea for the already released title of Black Panther 3, โ€œShadows of Wakandaโ€ called from the collective to heal ancient trauma - is that the future movie should be centered around an ancient & current battle for resources between Skrull and Humans - the real reason Wakanda is shielded from the world - to prevent Skrull from easily stealing Vibranium. For anyone unfamiliar, Skrull are Marvel's representation of shapeshifting reptilians, a concept well known and represented in ancient African culture. Credo Mutwa+David Icke describe in great detail, and call Chitahooli/Chitahoori. Marvel also has another reptilian form called Chitouri-right from real African culture. It can be described Skrull & Chitouri are closely related reptilians. And as Skrull are becoming more prevalent & present in Marvel, via Secret Invasion, they should be more prevalent in Black Panther 3. Especially as the Skrull/reptilians were driven further underground at the end of โ€œSecret Invasion,โ€ and tensions between Skrull and Humanity rose for territory. It can be said, Wakandans that knew secret ancient history, were suspicious and preparing for the Skrull, from Captain Marvel times - seeing the re-population occur. Especially in ancient African history passed down to Credo Mutwa, there were ancient wars with reptilians. Religious texts also highlight this with the first humans & the โ€œsnake,โ€(Adam means human in Arabic) followed by a flood, historically saying โ€œdemonsโ€ are underground, and also Ancient Indian texts record many similar battles followed by a flood. Imagine the plot going like this - the opening scene completes the story of Wakanda presented in the first movie - starting just like the first movie started - asking a parent for the story of Wakanda. Except this time it completes the story of Wakanda by fully answering the question left open in the first telling of the Story of Wakanda - โ€œWhy is Wakanda Hidden?โ€ Lupita starts sharing the story โ€œFor long Vibranium has been protected by Wakandans and the ancient spirits that watch over this Earth,โ€ suddenly the new Black Panther adopted by Lupita described in the new 2025 comic โ€œThe World To Come,โ€ asks Mom Lupita mid-story โ€œMom with all our strength & all this Vibranium to protect ourselves with - Why Is Wakanda Still Hidden?โ€ Mom dives into a story not told to many, to keep everyone at ease, and not worried about the threats that lie beyond the safety of Wakanda's shield. Mom reveals that most are told the shield is to protect from humans, when that is not the case. As the technology created from Vibranium can easily defend against humans. But what most are not told is that long ago, another life form, Skrull aka reptilians could shape shift and trick other humans into thinking they are well known Wakandan officials, so that they can steal vibranium to power weapons & ships. And because of this trickery, an ancient war happened, and so much Vibranium was stolen, that a mass scale war that could destroy both Humans and Reptilians almost occurred. Until ancient spirits flooded the Earth & created the shield that protected Wakanda and the Vibranium. Vibranium in this case can parallel the actual story of an energy/resource war between Humans and Reptilians, as well as the actual flood & societies still hinted to be hidden today. She explains that because of that flood there was a lot of erasure of the ancient history of Africa. That much of the world today does not know the ancient history of Africa and is very racist towards Africa & dark skin because of it, even in Africa. And covers up a lot of ancient leaders like Buddha, like Krishna as well as ancient Egypt/Kemet & Sudan. That much of the world does not try to understand what the ancient history is before the flood, and doesn't even try to see where all this hatred towards Africa is coming from. But she concludes because of this ancient War, we are still hidden today. To make sure that no Skrull/reptilians come in to steal the vibranium or hurt any of our citizens, to make sure no mass scale war for resources happens again. She states - โ€œThe ancient spirits guide us, to protect the Vibranium, until the world awakens to who we are beyond these bodies, so all the devision ends and we can finally all see that we are One and Live in peace together. But until those days, Wakanda must remain hidden, only temporarily open to those that see.โ€ Then the movie starts. The movie dives deeper into the external threats that the Black Panther is supposed to train to face. Lupita explains to her adopted son that is of the age to understand, she searched the world and was guided by the ancient spirits, to a human, that lived a peaceful past life in a reptilian body with the first Black Panther(played by Kanye West) & together created the Vadoma tribe, to bridge the divide, bring awareness, and end all drama & war. She searched especially because she was shown that the Skrull had been looking for Wakanda - and with re-growing populations/technology they would soon find it. She explained in the ancient past, Black Panthers would not only work to channel energy given from the herb. But would work at mastering the energy within themselves, to move the elements, something still maintained by few in Wakanda. Hinted by the first movie, as in the first movie - women on boats moved water and focused it to cause underwater gears to shift. And moving the water when welcoming Tโ€™challa in song. Also similar to the just recently groundbreaking African comic filled with Black Panthers, Ancestor glowing blue eyes & super powers, announced 2024(same exact year Kanche and I met in person-also Kanche & Iโ€™s bodies look like fully grown Iyanu&Avatar) based on Ancient African Stories - Iyanu. She explains many Black Panthers stopped practicing that ancient art, as the shield made Black Panthers face less and less threats that caused for there to be such a need. And many masters in Wakanda stopped practicing as well, so it became practiced for only minimal things. But with the growing threat, she explains she searched the globe for masters of the elements that still existed to teach the Black Panther. She also explains that the Black Panther she adopted because of their past life as a Skrull, could learn to shapeshift, and could transform into a literal Black Panther protector of Wakanda. And that the day the masters help this new Black Panther master those shapeshifting abilities, by unlocking past life memories stored deep in the spirit world, they would walk into Wakanda, Mom - Lupita, and literal Black Panther. Note also - Reptilian eyes and cats eyes are shaped one and the same - She presents the masters and they start training outside of Wakanda, until she is ready to introduce the adopted son to Wakanda. As well as the history with Skrull. And unlike the 2025 comic, instead of it being a hostile takeover, it is a presentation to all Wakandans before the sacred waterfall. An explanation before the current Black Panther as to why this new representative and protector of Wakanda can help. Revealing the ancient history with the Skrull, with the Vadoma tribe, bringing some members of the 2 toed hybrid tribe before the Wakandans. As well as bringing the reborn first Black Panther-Kanye West, before the Wakandans to explain why a strange hybrid face that lived a past life in a Reptilian body can help, bridge the devide, bring awakening to who we are, and prevent massive scale wars worldwide. The rest of the movie is meant to be talked about with actual cast and directors, and is meant have some drama and confrontation with Skrull/reptilians, spotting Skrull spies, finding their plans, fighting leaders and taking away their powers if need be, until all see we are One. And the ultimate goal and resolution of this conflict in the movie will result in Peace, and the awakening of all Skrull and Humans, all to the nature of the cellf* beyond these bodies. No hostile takeover, it can be a huge moment and example, not just in the movie, but for this planet, and the awful devisions, racism, and hostile wars happening today, if we allow it to be. - written cellf purposefully as without connecting outside the cellf & choosing Love, the cellf is a cell - Especially with all that's happening in the world, and how lost many are from really seeing each other. Now here is the part I know many might think sounds a bit much, but if you believe all of this is possible maybe it's possible that this world is ready to see beyond body type to who we are! I didn't think about it before, but after representing lost African History and the nature of the cellf, 10 plus years, then hearing about a new Black Panther, 2025, with a light skinned body. I now feel more called than ever, that if allowed I would fight with my all to do this role. I would represent everyone and bridge all divides. It feels like a calling and destiny, and I will explain why. I could not imagine all the pieces coming together like this, it was all guided by God & guardian angels. For years I've been working to reveal the nature of the cellf, at the same time wearing Wakanda hoodies to represent, heal and reveal, ancient lost history of this planet. Sharing at first in 2022 then 2023 publically that I lived a past life in a reptilian body with Kanye West(then 2024 meeting Kanche details further ahead), together starting the hybrid reptilian/human two toed Vadoma tribe researchable on Google. Literally in the Kanyemba region of Zimbabwe. That Credo Mutwa literally calls โ€œchildren of Mars.โ€ The tribe also stating their traits originate from extra terrestrial reptilian bird like beings - not random genetic mutations - traits that have been passed down for generations, that the tribe has protected for generations by not mingling with others, only recently mingling with others. Kanye also several times talks about a past life with a lot of trauma, and is sometimes seen wearing alien eyed contacts. Then after sharing that, in the year 2024 - meeting my partner Kanche on the Facebook Group โ€œAwakened Souls Dating.โ€ Who was literally in the Kanyama West region of Zambia at the time, and no not everything in Africa is named Kanye! Kanche is the only one that replied to me, and aligned with me to God and bringing Heaven into this world. I share screenshots of all these events on Facebook in an album I will try link(too paranoid of algorithms removing this post to link but if you put sani.nassif.3 after facebook the album is there in the first few posts) as God and Guardians aligned, her Facebook name was even Grae, and I didn't share any of this with her until she shared her name in Bemba was Kanche. So she told me these things, before I even shared with her the past life story with Kanye West. But when she said she was in the Kanyama West region of Zambia, surname Kanche, so close to the Vadoma tribe, in the Kanyemba region of Zimbabwe. I felt sharing with her would be ok, and that she wouldn't find it weird at all. And she didn't find it weird at all!!!! And even I shared I felt spiritually she lived a past life in a grey alien body. Then we both realized she originally felt to put her Facebook name as Grae!! Her full name is Gracious Kanche. I even said Kanche perfectly the first time! Without her ever saying how to say it! And many souls growing up in Zambia don't even say Kanche right, as it's uncommon(same as Sani in Arabic which Kanche also nailed without me saying!) and many doubted how I said it. Then they asked Kanche, heard Kanche say it the same, then laughed nervously that I said it right! And the Vadoma 2 toed hybrid tribe is far more easily accessible through Zambia, where Kanche is through Luangwa, then through Zimbabwe. Literally it is only few kilometers traveling from Zambia main roads, vs hundreds of kilometers on the Zimbabwe side. Also you can see from the pictures goldish blonde arm hair, mixed blonde facial hair, blonde tipped eye lashes, and blonde mixed leg hair. I have mixed Lebanese Middle Eastern genetics, which is just world DNA. Mom shared I was born with blonde hair and highly green eyes, there's still a lot of blonde hairs on my body and sometimes the hair color randomly changes a lot. It's not blue eyes like the comic, but green is also much more suitable for reptilians. My eye color you can see shape shifts :) from black to brown, yellow/gold to green! And I promise no one will represent this story with as much fight and struggle as I. It's my mission to bridge divides. Please check the Facebook album, my body is so mixed genetically it is made for this role! Feel really sad if I shared the idea and wouldn't be able to put my all, body, heart and soul into it!! I would die for us all family! And wish I could serve that purpose if you all allow it and share. And believe it is the most helpful storyline for either Black Panther 3 or 4. Production begins literally in few months!!! My body is currently age 33 and the perfect age & shape for this role! Even I've been wearing all black, cat eye shaped glasses for the past 10 years without even thinking about it!! And so in lot of ways I feel meant for this role, and very much would work hard towards it just as you see any of the media I share. but I don't know how to share, or what to do, or how I feel called and meant to share this role, and my body really also feels called to play this part. I just felt called to everyone here after the Buddha post, and how nice everyone was. I pray somehow this post will reach who it is meant to ensure the awareness that is meant to about a greater unity, and who we are beyond these bodies reaches us all. Whether for Black Panther 3, 4 or otherwise, but after โ€œSecret Invasionโ€ it really would be the best plot right here right now!! I just pray anyone can share or help. Don't know how else the storyline can reach. P.S. Also another really similar thing that happened in high school is, that I shared the idea of doing the Thriller dance, for the 2010 International Assembly. The teacher Loved it so much she took the idea, and almost didn't want to let me do it. But then when she saw how enthusiastic I was to do it. She was like you do that dance! And I did that dance with so much practice, Love and motivation, everyone Loved it so much! I can share a link for that on FB too but what is amazing about that, I can share in the pictures there, is that Michael Jackson at the end of the video had reptilian eyes and the outfit is the same exact outfit for the 1983 television show V, where It's about reptilians taking over. Also the new Michael Jackson movie just came out!!!! Reminds me of Yeโ€™s โ€œPraise God!โ€ โ€œThrillerโ€ actually represents a peaceful unity between humans and reptilians. You can see Thriller has the same exact outfit - shape/color and is released the same exact year as the 1983 television show V! And again with reptilian/cat eyes! But that show was released first, just before Thriller!! Please everyone I feel it is destiny and I don't know how else to do it without your help any ideas or thoughts ๐Ÿ™
