PEople don't seem to comprehend that one person murdered by law enforcement is hundreds of people assaulted by law enforc ement. One person dying of hypothermia is hundreds of people sick from the cold. \n\n\n\n And the three people who drug overdosed thought that coul d heat them up. But\, how many people are trying to drink themselves warm?  \n\n\n\n New York City has problems across the board\, these deaths are the proof. But what is most telling is in a city where if a black person c ommit an illegality\, whether criminal or not\, many chime in regardless o f how uncommon the act but when the city is the culprit of a legal crime\, no words no judgements no condemnations.\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n in amendment\ n\n so lietenant governor is what adrienne adams got to come in too late t o win the mayoral race but block certain strategies by Eric Adams or Andre w Cuomo\, good for her.

C. and Atlanta area but I'm not exactly sure what they're doing to maintai n this oasis of peace and prosperity.\n\n \n\n Maybe to go school and get a good education and stay out of trouble.\n\n But millions of AfroAmerican s have TRIED that.....it doesn't always work.\n\n Yet there are millions o f AfroAmericans who have that \"magic touch\" where they bath in peace and prosperity regardless as to the economic conditions around the nation.\n\ n\n\n Expand  \n\n\n\n There has always been at least 2 tribes of Black p eople in the usa. When the usa was founded in the white european colonial phase of the usa\, even though ninety to ninety five percent of black peop le were enslaved completely whites\, ten to five percent of black people w ere free\, owned businesses\, was an employed laborer. \n\n\n\n You know this already. \n\n\n\n A black business owner fought alongside washington and company\, was imprisoned by england for fighting for the usa to be\, and survived and went back to his successful business.Some Black whalers i n the new england states owned their own boats. The whites of marth's vine yard were some of the earliest abolitionist and the black populace in mart ha's vineyard grew as a result. Zora Neale Hurston grew in northern florid a not far from Rosewood yet her black town was idyllic for her albeit\, su rrounded by white criminals. Armstrong Williams who grew up in South Carol ina and whose relative was murdered by whites said he never dealt with whi te bias growing up on their tobacco farm. I myself admitted a happy childh ood. My life wasn't affected by crime or fiscal poverty or dysfunctions in the home or immigrants whether legal or illegal but the biggest criminals where i lived was the local nypd precinct which was known\, by everyone [ black non black\, paraplegic\, athetist\, christian\, man \, woman ] in th is part of nyc for being dirty to the core. Drug dealers/extorionist/pimps all nypd officers and any nypd officer in that precinct who didn't aid th em or help was an illegal actor through abetting\, cause every nypd agent in there had to know.  as for poverty\, well\, in my experience\, most bl ack people in this extended part of harlem \, worked for a living\, tried to find jobs\, in a city that is not black\, is not controlled. and I nor my particular place of rearing never had a problem with black immigrants s o... \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n And don't forget in your list of well to do blac k regions\, two of the biggest is in los angeles and new york city. You at lanta/dc/ detroit. The black one percent region in los angles or New york city is very wealthy\, financially. more than any other. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\ n\n And your wrong\, you and everyone black know why a minority of black p eople have maintained financial success? The same reason modern fiscally b lack wealthy regions exists is the same as in the past\, luck + white peop le allow it.\n\n\n\n The luck part is the truth of fiscal capitalism\, whi ch you know. 90% of all business\, in all demographics fail. This is a sim ple truth. 90% of nonblack business fail. 90% of black business fail. 90% of mens business fail. 90% of womens business fail. Maybe you have the fol lowing belief\, but education is not power\, education does not mean you w ill succeed in a business. Education does not mean you will not be enslave d. The elder Rockefeller whose clan has a whole business complex named aft er them downtown new york city was a failed business man. He had one oil f ield that was not producing\, living in a little shack. how did his clan g et that prominance? education? no \, power? no... Andrew Carnegie \, the s teel baron\, who was uneducated as a child\, and rowed people over the wat er between the buroughs as a child\, which is illegal today\, wanted to sa ve money on shipping his steel and so he sought to consolidate the oil ind ustry\, which at that time\, was extremely fragmented and had no internal ability to manage itself for more efficiency. Carnegie who owed no one\, w as not controlled\, invited various oil men and chose carnegie\, who from a fiscal perspective was the weakest. Carnegie chose Rockefeller because R ockefeller was the poorest\, least qualified. Carnegie knew whomever he su pported would dominate the oil industry\, but carnegie wanted to dominate the steel even more and so Carnegie got what he wanted and Rockefeller got lucky\, and with the path of luck\, the rest is history.  But it was luc k. Rockefeller has no bargaining power\, he had nothing. Everything was in carnegie's favor\, carnegie simply gave blessing. Like Oprah winfrey's bo ok club and similar actions by michelle obama or others. They say an artis t has value and a millions dollars in twenty four hours occurs. Starbucks didn't have the money to start up\, Bill gates and others gave money to th em\, through connections. again\, no one was forced. What role did educati on have in Rockefeller's relationship with Carnegie? Oprah Winfrey's relat ionship with various writers in her book club? Gates relationship with Sta rbucks? \n\n\n\n White people allow it\, is the other part\, which you al ready know? again\, what crimes or illegalities did Black Tulsa or Rosewoo d do? Unless you mean the unwritten crime of being black and having white neighbors who want to kill any happiness you have\, which is most of black people in the usa historically. what fiscal poverty did Black Tulsa or Ro sewood have? arguably they were fiscally wealthier than their white neighb ors who terrorized them out of existence. From the surviving accounts most black people in Black Tulsa or Rosewood were happy in their homes\, but t hat didn't prevent their destruction.  and lastly\, immigrants as defined by those coming to the usa from outside weren't the ones who annihilated black tulsa/rosewood/ black bronx [that was white jewish/italian/irish lan downers in the bronx] /black new orleans/ and the millions of black towns or regions of white cities annihilated by whites into a complete reboot ab sent any provocation by blacks. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n The mystery to how ce rtain Blacks live in a  positive black pool in the united states of ameri ca\, isn't a mystery\, each is founded on fiscal luck + white allowance. T he sad part is blacks like you keep thinking fiscal luck + white allowance is something that can be engineered or planned in some machiavellan way. For me what is sad is what I comprehend. So many black people in the unite d states of america or the european colonies it was born from\, are so wil ling to see the usa in a positive light\, that they only way they can rati onalize black success is to keep trying to find a magical way a black pers on can make it happen\, and treat it like a strategy insteead of admitting what historically continually shows. You mention fiscally wealthy black d etroit or black atlanta or black district of columbia. When the all white counties around Detroit city\, block black people or when said places resi dents harm black people\, fiscally wealthy black detroit is willing to liv e with it. When the murdering white counties around atlanta\, that graves filled with black people are still being found in\, harm black people fisc ally wealthy black atlanta is willing to live with that. I know too many b lack people from D.C. \, the white populace of D.C. in my view is notoriou sly anti black. But wealthy black D.C. in prince george county and elsewhe re is willing to live with that. \n\n\n\n But not everybody black want to have white terror as a neighbor. What is comprehending that some unknown magic ? You have made it clear\, the usa is your home\, and the history of black people fighting for the usa is true from the usa's very founding... but you have to comprehend\, black people fought for the usa not to exist s at its very founding\, as well. So maybe if you expand your comprehensio n of the black populace in the usa you will realize how complex black peop les relationship with the usa or the non blacks in it is\, and thus nothin g is incomprehensible\, from black presidents to black people living off g rid. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n @ProfD \n\n\n\n   5 hours ago\, ProfD said: \n\n\n\n Right. For Black men especially it takes some combination of inte lligence\, talent\, preparation\, discipline\, grit\, determination\,  ad aptability &\; survivability to be successful.\n\n\n\n Well... I have t o break up types of success when i speak of success. Financial success for black people\, male or female or young or old in the usa\, is all that yo u say. You need intelligence because fiscal capitalism breeds tricksters\, you need talent especially as most blacks don't have money or access to m oney historically when they attempt things\, preparation is good but level s of preparation are blockaded only the wealthiest can truly be prepared c ompletely in fiscal capitalsim\, discipline or grit or determination or su rvivability all are elements of purpose \, a black person's purpose must b e strong in the usa historically\, 1492 to 1865 age of enslavement had bla ck business owners who had to survive white people trying to entrap them l egally\, since black enslavement was legal\, so free blacks were legally a ble to be enslaved. so your correct:) you need all the elements of purpose in that environment. 1865 to 1980 was jim crow which was literally about restricting/diminishing/stopping all black positive activity in every city or county or state since\, the federal level deemed black people citizens now so white power could only operate through the state level and below. So yes\, black people needed elements of purpose to survive an environment where they are citizens but every city/county/state they are in has an en vironment totally designed to make their life miserable\, like being put i n jail for walking on the left side of the street on sunday. And a black p erson need adaptibility in said enslavement or jim crow eras because both eras whole point is a black persons enslavement or destruction or goading into prison. Financial success needs the factors you mention\, especially for blacks in the usa. Though I admit\, in the post jim crow\,1980 to toda y\, as white people have finally stopped the stifling anti back behavior\, black growth has blossomed\, inevitably\,  at a faster rate than ever be fore. But black growth in the usa started in 1980\, but 1492 or 1776 or 18 65 \n\n\n\n But the success of the home\, a positive home life\, doesn't require all of those things for black people in the usa. It requires first love\, which is not common  in human homes in general\, it requires pati ence. And is easier today in the post jim crow era. Unlike enslavement\, w here black homes didn't exist [ the slave quarter is not a home\, a home c an't exist for a person who can be sold at any moment n the leisure of ano ther ]\, or jim crow\, where black homes were under constant attack [betwe en white states or white cities that used eminnent domain on entire black regions or cities or black towns \, white businesses supported by white ci ty or state governments abusing black customers or clients \, white indivi duals or groups supported by white city or state governments committing ac ts of terror/assault from murder to harassment on black individuals or gro ups] on all aspects of life\, the modern era\, i will call post jim crow\, 1980 to today\, is the first time black homes don't have to deal with whi te overwhelming terror. So even though a negative heritage froom 1492 to 1 980 has to be slowly ebbed out\, black people's homes I argue are doing we ll\, for such a negative legacy that they was imposed on them by the non b lack. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n But I think success financially is not the succ ess of the home. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n @Pioneer1\n\n\n\n   4 hours ago\,  Pioneer1 said:\n\n\n\n Some Black folks seem to be \"immune\" to racism and the other social problems that affect other Black people.\n\n\n\n it isn't \, if you read my original segment to you in this post\, then you re alize the word is uncaring. History has as fat that some\, a small minorit y of black people\, were willing to fight alongside whites who publicly ad mitted they felt every black person should be enslaved. so is it so hard t o see that that same minority\, scale up for population growth over time\, is willing to live alongside whites as positively\, with whites in modern ity on average being far less terrible to black people than their forebear s.  But\, like in the past\, did most blacks have the willingness to live alongside whites? NO! did most free blacks? no... rememebr \, in the seco nd white european global imperial war\, commonly called erroneously world war two\, black newspapers in majority wanted to tell black people to stay out of any positive engagement to that war... but white powers\, had a me eting and the V's were up. Most black people in the usa before 1980 at the least\, have always been anti USA or anti white but that never meant all black people. \n\n\n\n   4 hours ago\, Pioneer1 said:\n\n\n\n That's what racists do....they fuck up your program.\n\n\n\n sometimes they murde r you too... death does stop alot of programs. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n   4 hours ago\, Pioneer1 said:\n\n\n\n Sometimes I wonder if some of these \ "magical negroes\" are just illusions or phantoms designed to confuse you and make you wonder \"why them\"????\n\n\n\n well... I have asked the foll owing in the past and I realize it will never happen\, for as a black woma n replied then\, you want the world to fall. But\, I think what can help y our query is revealing how many black people were agents of the three lett er folk from 1940s to today. I am 100% certain if the names of every black agent to the cia/fbi/or other similar was revealed it would expose connec tions to alot of black people with money today\, if not them\, black benef actors to them. I have proof of nothing\, but I know of four things\, two for a fact and two through an unconfirmed source. \n\n\n\n The two facts\ n\n\n\n - a bodyguard to malcolm x was an agent\n\n\n\n - an associate to fred hampton was an agent\n\n\n\n The two unconfirmed\, I wish I could pro ve\, but I believe\n\n\n\n - the three letter people infiltrated every sin gle organization in the usa\, every single organization\n\n\n\n -the three letter people killed more people since 1980 than any government army\n\n\ n\n  \n\n\n\n These four things if the unconfirmed two are true\, lead to an inevitable reality. That all populaces in the usa have a corrupt one p ercent \, a minority of wealthy \, whose crimes against their own have nev er been admitted or revealed but has protected them from white power cause they are agents of white power. \n\n\n\n Again\, I can't prove anything so as per the USA and its law room culture\, absent proof\, the ignorant/h opeful can be allowed to believe in better. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n In Amendm ent\n\n\n\n I think of the Vietnam war documentary from ken burns in PBS. Vietnam war ended circa 1974  so that is fifty two years ago\, over half a century\, over two generations or twenty years\, and yet\, redactions/cr ossouts were still needed on content? why? agents in vietnam? working for the usa? or maybe people whose wealth in vietnam came from agents working for the usa? I wonder what some people in vietnam would do if others in vi etnam were revealed to be agents to the usa? I wonder. .... \n\n\n\n  \n \n\n\n 02182026 \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n Citation \n\n\n\n https://aalbc.com/ tc/topic/12438-if-you-live-in-the-usa-how-many-have-died-from-the-cold-in- the-city-where-you-live-in/#findComment-80180\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n osted ju st now\n\n\n\n @Pioneer1 \n\n\n\n   On 2/16/2026 at 8:15 PM\, Pioneer 1 said:\n\n\n\n Thanks for reminding me.\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n pleasure\n\n\ n\n   On 2/16/2026 at 8:15 PM\, Pioneer1 said:\n\n\n\n I know New York harbors a large wealthy Black population\, but outside of entertainers li ke athletes and actors....where is the large Black wealth in Los Angeles?\ n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n Perhaps it was the circles I was in but the few times I went to Los Angeles\, the majority of Black folks I saw there were living the street life.  Either homeless or criminals.\n\n There were a few wea lthy Black lawyers and doctors but the overwhelming majority of wealthy Bl ack folks I saw in LA were in the entertainment industry and despite what you see on television\, they make up only a tiny part of Los Angeles' popu lation.\n\n Most of the Black folks there were on or in the streets.\n\n O r locked up.\n\n\n\n \n\n Detroit\, Atlanta\, and D.C. each have more Blac k people with good jobs and moderate wealth than Los Angeles has.\n\n Alth ough the Black wealthy in Los Angeles probably have a much higher per capi ta income because they tend to be entertainers instead of corporate and go vernment workers.\n\n\n\n Expand  \n\n\n\n Los angeles is the city of ent ertainment? hollywood right? beverly hills right? The entertainment indust ry in los angeles whites say makes 500\,000 jobs. I am 100% certain the te ch sector in los angeles\, the real estate industry in los angeles\, the a erospace and defense don't hire that many. So... I am  alittle confused t o how you view entertainment as a business. You can't discount the enterta iners in los angeles. Does anyone discount the number of white entertainer s in los angeles? why are black entertainers: musicians/athletes/thespians / similar discountable for black wealth? \n\n\n\n ... the majority of all people in any big city are poor. You think most whites in nyc own a busin ess? most white asians in NYC don't own a business or are employed legally .  most white latinos in nyc don't own a business and are not employed in NYC. again\, i sense uneven approaches. \n\n\n\n I imagine the majority of most wealthy people in los angeles are in the entertainment business ca use the city has a huge entertainment industry. What financial logic do yo u use? Are you suggesting black people in los angeles should be farmers?  \n\n\n\n Well\, I don't know where your from or where you live but in NYC\ , Los angeles has never been viewed as majority black. Sections of los ang eles are majority black\, but los angeles has always been described in nyc media as majority white\, white anglos + white latinos. \n\n\n\n \"good jobs\" oh Pioneer... i must remember you have an extreme negative bias tow ards black entertainers. \n\n\n\n What is the fiscal range in your opinio n of what you call moderate wealth?  Absent that lets look at the cities in question. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n The black populace in detroit is circa 7 6% of the total in the city\, circa 490\,000\n\n\n\n the black populace in atlanta is circa 46% of the total in the city \, circa 235\,000\n\n\n\n t he black populace in district of columbia is circa 43% of the total in the district\, circa 291\,000\n\n\n\n the black populace in los angeles is ci rca 8.5% of the total in the city circa 329\,000\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n Well.. . The black populace of Los Angeles is \, taking out detroit which is an o dd city\, bigger than the black populace of any of those places you mentio ned. So los angeles based on quantity has a higher chance of having more p eople in all fiscal levels than atlanta or d.c. To detroit... detroit is a n oddity in the united states of america. Detroit at the height of the aut omotive industry was overhwelmingly white\, but when the auto industry cha nged is industrial behavior + white flight\, detroit became majority black in a big way. Wayne county around Detroit is as white as detroit city is black. so...Detroit is arguably the only city north of mason dixie that ha d or has one million people in it in the history of the usa that is majori ty black. Philadelphia had the biggest black populace of any city but phil adelphia was never majority black. NYC has the largest black populace of a ny city but was never majority black. A number of southern cities have bee n majority black\, but detroit is the only northern city I can think of so ... Detroit is an oddity\, demographically. I can imagine detroit as a maj ority black city \, in the north\, has a larger percentage of varied black wealth\, not just your hated black entertainers.\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n   O n 2/16/2026 at 8:15 PM\, Pioneer1 said:\n\n\n\n What other LOGICAL and V IABLE choice do these Black enclaves have BUT to live with it?\n\n\n\n  \ n\n\n\n Ahhh PEr this forum we all tend to find ourselves in our discourse back where our forebears were when the usa was being founded. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n logic/meaning reason/ meaning thinking is a dangerous word. The problem with logic as a word is logic doesn't mean conclusion\, logic mea ns thinking. \n\n\n\n So you ask what other thinking choice do black encl aves have but to live with it? \n\n\n\n The answer is the eternal one\, t hey have infinite choices\, as all human beings do. The question is not th e choices\, the question is what are they willing to live with. the positi ve or negative actions after\, more commonly called consequences plus pros equences. \n\n\n\n When people jumped off the enslaved boats to their dea th\, over the atlantic ocean \, the resting home of 90% of our enslaved fo rebears\, they were logical. They were thinking\, they were not illogical\ , but they didn't come up with the reasoning the logic that others who cou ld had jumped and didn't came up with. \n\n\n\n The question is right or wrong? and the answer is no right or wrong exists. Humans are free to choo se. I repeat\, when the irish republican army \, only 500 people\, for the record\, a very small minority of irish\, blew up everything and everyone \, including other irish people to get england to give up ireland as a dom inion\, they were logical. they were reasoning\, they were thinking. I arg ue\, 99% of irish didn't come up or like their thinking\, but not liking a nothers thinking doesn't make it illogical. It is all logic. \n\n\n\n  \ n\n\n\n Now viability\, a thing via\, from the latin vita which means life . What choice is best to live? well\, first the history of white terror in the usa proves no choice black people make guarantees safety from white v iolence in the usa. The parents of george stinney did the viable thing whe n their son was executed absent any level of legal evenness.  His parents didn't burn or attack anything and continued to live in south carolina\, never even leaving the state so.... making a viable choice does not preclu de a positive choice. One can argue that stinney's relative being the firs t black attorney general of south carolina is some sort of balance\, but I find that an ugly viewing. black PEople in the present/future of the usa don't balance the past suffering by black people in the usa by getting job s. Nothing brings back a dead body. Nothing will repair Black Tulsa. Nothi ng will rebuild Rosewood. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n So\, based on history in th e usa \, the most viable thing black enclaves in the usa can do in the usa is accept/tolerate [they are not the same words but the severity of the s ituation means either word is used based on how a black person sees this s cenario] white terror or white power \, whether terrible or irritating or any in between. \n\n\n\n But\, viability doesn't mean positivity. And via bility doesn't have to be considered for logic or thought.  \n\n\n\n    On 2/16/2026 at 8:15 PM\, Pioneer1 said:\n\n\n\n Since....unlike Black America....they are a relatively sovereign nation\, they can do with them as they please.\n\n\n\n not relatively\, china is a powerful country\, vi etnam like many countries about china in modernity are militaristically tr ying to figure out how to serve china + the usa\, taiwans biggest trading partner is still china so even taiwan is trying to serve both countries. N ot easy for little countries to be about powerful ones\, ask Cuba. \n\n\n \n Black america is for black americans which is the black DOS + black ind igenous [not all indigenous people are black] populaces from modern day ca nada to argentina. \n\n\n\n Black USA is not soveriegn but the usa is a m ajority white country so \, black USA will never have the populace to not have such agents in them. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n @ProfD\n\n\n\n   On 2/16/ 2026 at 8:31 PM\, ProfD said:\n\n\n\n As a result of the Vietnam war\, t here's a whole lot of Vietnamese Americans in the USA. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\ n War is big business. A lot of wealth is generated &\; transferred as a result of it.\n\n\n\n wait a minute\, don't blame the vietnam war for im migration of vietnamese. The culprit for all immigration in the usa has be en fiscally wealthy whites. In Vietnamese case in Louisiana and Arabs case in Michigan\, whites hated the demographic makeup of big city oddities: n ew orleans + detroit city and saw an opportunity to change the demographic s of these black regions of these white states and also get immigrant popu laces who spend alot of money and as modernity proves are in a more legall y convenient situation for white power than DOSers. It was not the vietnam war. For the world is full of war zones. Afghans were not invited en mass e when the usa was supporting afghans opposing russia as the soviet union.  \n\n\n\n And yes war is big business\, so is peace though. The differenc e between war and peace is not that either isn't big business\, but that w ar which is negative in nature\, destructive in nature\, allows for positi ve opportunities very hard to come by in peace\, in parallel\, peace which is positive in nature\, constructive in nature\, allows for negative oppo rtunities very hard to come by in war. Both are fiscal prudent\, just have different natures. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n @Pioneer1 \n\n\n\n   On 2/17/2 026 at 4:06 PM\, Pioneer1 said:\n\n\n\n I remember going down there year s ago and seeing them down there by the thousands and wondering how they g ot down there and why?\n\n They were war refugees and their descendants.\n \n\n\n you already knew why\, they were there for the same reason a repres entative of the louisiana state legislature said after katrina devastated New Orleans that god did what we couldn't. Whites in louisiana have always tried to destroy new orleans. Like new york city's relationship to the re st of new york state\, new orleans relationship to the rest of louisiana i s misaligned. the reason being both cities\, new york city or new orleans weren't started by the english heritage. New York city doesn't get its mul tiracial heritage from the english but from the dutch. the dutch like all white europeans had a very imperial nature\, but the dutch were used to mu ltiracial life in europe to succeed financially\, which the english were n ot. the english were made up of many peoples but have a heritage of cultur al destruction of peoples in england to make one. while holland is used to cultural complexitiy in itself to survive the french/english/german bulli es that rubbed off in NYC\, which is the most culturally complex city inte rnally of all cities in humanity. New Orleans has a similar problem\, when the whites from haiti arrived in new orleans \, after the haitian freeing \, they embraced slavery but had embraced a simple idea that blacks are no t bound to enslavement forever. So in new orleans pathways to freedom exis ted that when the usa buys the louisiana purchase \, the whites coming fro m the states were philosophically opposed to new orleans multiracial way. which has never left the rest of louisiana. \n\n\n\n The states in the us a are to often viewed to crudely. Some are small or simple. A delaware\, a conneticutt\, a wisconsin dont have the largest populaces\, are monoracia l in majority but some states are messy\, complex\, california/new york/ m ichigan/florida/texas ... they have regions which are in conflict with eac h other. Because of the federalism from lincoln onward\, states don't have the internal battles they used to so it seems foreign to many who don't k now usa history or dismiss usa history for modern perceptions. \n\n\n\n I argue Nagin should had called for new orleans to be its own state in the union after the actions of louisiana\, but he didn't have the courage or w isdom or strategic skill for that \, which would be required as many in th e usa\, don't like ideas in government that demand true thoughtfulness. Th at Pax\, peace of the usa is built on not rocking the boat. \n\n\n\n  \n \n\n\n 02182026\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n Citation\n\n\n\n https://aalbc.com/tc/t opic/12438-if-you-live-in-the-usa-how-many-have-died-from-the-cold-in-the- city-where-you-live-in/#findComment-80186\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n  @ProfD \n\ n\n\n \n On 2/18/2026 at 8:41 PM\, ProfD said:\n \n\n \n \n The larges t number of Vietnamese refugees came to the USA after the fall of Saigon b etween 1975-1980.😎\n \n \n\n\n\n right but rich whites are why the imm igration was allowed. if rich whites didn't want vietnamese in\, for whate ver reason... it doesn't have to be financial or it can be demographic\, v ietnamese wouldn't be in. .

I was taki ng Detroit out of comparison with los angeles because it is such a unique example. Detroit is an oddity. First most cities/towns that are majority b lack are in former confederate states\, where said states have a instituti onalized anti black ness. New Orleans or Baton Rouge lousiiana/Jackson Mis sissippi /montgomery alabama  or similar are majority black cities but th e states they are in have a huge heritage of anti black. Michigan isn't pr o black but Michigan is northern\, it isn't as anti black as louisiana. Se cond\, detroit's percentage of the whole who are black is in the rare rang e. Most cities in the usa that have a certain total quantity\, don't have anywhere near the percentage of black as detroit. So... I wasn't dismissin g detroit\, I just think detroit is uncomparable to any other city in the usa when it comes to the scene the black populace has in it. For me atlant a or district of columbia can't be put aside detroit because the larger en vironment is too anti black in atlanta or D.C. Those white counties about atlanta or D.C. make me think of Black Tulsa or Rosewood all the time. Way ne county that detroit sits in is anti black\, but they tend to be more ha nds off with detroit overall. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n And remember your origi nal point was that los angeles had questionable levels of success \, and I refuted that. White man says the wealthiest black region /community is in los angeles\, not prince george county for d.c. \, not the rich black sub urb about atlanta. I never suggested los angeles is an ideal place or blac k people should model our activities from the black people in los angeles\ , but you asserted an financial impotency in black los angeles that I don' t think is true. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n I concur that black activity should go to where black percentages are more advantaged. It helps with votes for government\, it helps with overall communal energy. But Black Los angeles finance based on entertainment isn't a knock down or lesser than because black los angeles will never have the role or access to government than bl ack atlanta or moreover\, in Detroit. I think black l.a. has its positives . \n\n\n\n   14 hours ago\, Pioneer1 said:\n\n\n\n Choose what?\n\n C omplacency over annihilation?\n\n  \n\n\n\n Outside of Divine Help.....wh ich is Real but we don't control it.....what other \"choices\" do subjugat ed people have?\n\n\n\n I repost what I said \n\n\n\n   On 2/18/2026 at 7:08 PM\, richardmurray said:\n\n\n\n I repeat\, when the irish republi can army \, only 500 people\, for the record\, a very small minority of ir ish\, blew up everything and everyone\, including other irish people to ge t england to give up ireland as a dominion\, they were logical. they were reasoning\, they were thinking. I argue\, 99% of irish didn't come up or l ike their thinking\, but not liking anothers thinking doesn't make it illo gical. It is all logic. \n\n\n\n Many peoples in humanity 2026 are subjug ated\, some fight\, albeit disadvantaged\, some try to assimilate to their bully  [black dos for the most part]\, some try to flee to a new shore [ that is white zionist]. And more options exist. Their are options. Nothin g is easy. Nothing is simple. But options exist.\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n   14 hours ago\, Pioneer1 said:\n\n\n\n Are you serious or joking?\n\n\n\n W ell\, I didn't make a suggestion absent explaining why did it happen. That is a complete thought. Making an assertion to the past absent explaining why it did or did not happen is incomplete. I don't know what is joking or serious about my suggestion. The usa has a history of states being made o ut of former ones. And the reason why those states were made fits new orle ans \, new yorks\, arguably\, detroits problem as well. The part of a stat e needs are being undercut by another part of the state.  Small states ex ist. Conneticut or delaware aren't huge in size. D.C. isn't a state but is very tiny and an administrative region. I think new orleans \, new york\, detroit\, as states in the union would help them. it would hurt louisiana /new york state/michigan but ....I argue louisiana has shown itself to be an enemy of New Orleans from Katrina onward. A city \, especially one majo rity one race can not thrive in a state majority another race. Survive yes \, do decent yes\, but not thrive or strive. And at least\, no black city in the usa from rosewood onward has been able to survive  white oppressio n/terror in various forms. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n 02232026\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\ n Citation\n\n\n\n https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/12438-if-you-live-in-the-usa -how-many-have-died-from-the-cold-in-the-city-where-you-live-in/#findComme nt-80286\n\n\n\n osted just now\n\n\n\n @Pioneer1\n\n\n\n   On 2/21/202 6 at 1:49 PM\, Pioneer1 said:\n\n\n\n Also unlike New York and even Chic ago\, Detroit has a lot of single family houses with front and back yards that Black people from down South are used to.\n\n They like the spacious living that you don't find in New York or Philly.\n\n\n\n I didn't know th is about detroit\, i love architecture so thank you. \n\n\n\n   On 2/21 /2026 at 1:49 PM\, Pioneer1 said:\n\n\n\n I wouldn't want to live in a p lace were any nigga walking down the street can just reach in and GRAB my lady's ass if the window is open....lol.\n\n\n\n Why don't you write for 5 0 cent\, you can definitely write the stories that work in his fiction\n\n \n\n  \n\n\n\n   On 2/21/2026 at 1:49 PM\, Pioneer1 said:\n\n\n\n App arently you don't know as much about the Detroit area as you THINK you do. ...lol.\n\n\n\n Detroit is not only Black but even many of it's SUBURBS ar e Black too\, including those in Wayne and Oakland counties.\n\n\n\n Wayne county has over a half dozen other Black cities in it like Inkster\, Rive r Rouge\, and Highland Park.\n\n Wayne county also has an AfroAmerican She riff and Prosecutor\n\n\n\n No I don't. I know some other suburbs in wayne county were black but i was unaware to the sheriff prosecutor or other. T hat is a good sign. \n\n\n\n   On 2/21/2026 at 1:49 PM\, Pioneer1 sai d:\n\n\n\n \n\n Not only is that highly unlikely but it's highly unadvisab le.\n\n It's not big enough and doesn't have enough resources for statehoo d.\n\n\n\n wait a minute\, rhode island is small. it is said to have circa 1545 square miles. in land only is circa 1\,034 square miles. the metropo litan new orleans area is circa 3\,755. Now the city proper is circa 350 s quare miles. So in terms of land\, if the city goes with its metropolitan area\, it passes the minimum. But as for resources\, even just New Orleans proper doesn't have any more or less resources than rhode island. \n\n\n \n I said before\, it wasn't likely\, that wasn't my point. My point was t he solution for new orleans and new york city is statehood. And the reason being is simply the disconnect between either city and the states they ar e apart of. \n\n\n\n You know\, when KAtrina hit\, what did whites towns in the remainder of louisiana do? did they help the black residents of new orleans? no\, they stood on the road with guns to prevent black people fl eeing a natural disaster from coming in their white towns. that is louisia na. I can't believe you don't see the truth in that. the governor of Lousi ana was fully in support of ripping black people from new orleans taking t hem to all sorts of places in the usa\, many or most to never return. Why couldn't the white governor of louisiana ask for the more affordable optio n of housing the blacks of new orleans among the white towns of louisiana? why cause ... he doesn't like blacks. \n\n\n\n How can't you see that si mple truth? and as i know you love the law\, the law wasn't broken by whit e people standing on their property with guns\, but it was definitely a me ssage. \n\n\n\n Again\, my point isn't that it will happen\, but it is cl early the only solution for new orleans as a black city to thrive. white L ouisiana limits black new orleans\, this is a proven fact in near history so separation is the only solution for long term large betterment of black new orleans. There is no shame admitting what needs to happen can't happe n. But no shame also exist in admitting nothng else but what needs to happ en will work. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n 02232026\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n Citation \ n\n\n\n https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/12438-if-you-live-in-the-usa-how-many-h ave-died-from-the-cold-in-the-city-where-you-live-in/#findComment-80296\n\ n\n\n sted just now\n\n\n\n @ProfD\n\n\n\n But Profd\, your not mentionin g the sequence in the dialog between me and pioneer. you quote me but don' t refer to the issue i am referring. No one questioned the financial influ encers\, me nor pioneer.\n\n\n\n the steps were as follows. \n\n\n\n 1)  I said new orleans need to be its own state\, I didn't say it will happen\ , but I said it was needed based on near history \, at the least. ... new orleans is the state where white people threw dynamite at fellow whites in the mississippi river and blew them up for being northerners... so whites of louisiana ... anyway\n\n\n\n 2) pionner then says\, it will never happ en and then added it isn't big enough or have the resources. \n\n\n\n 3) i replied that it is big enough as a metropolitan space and has no more or less resources than rhode island\, deleting the claim of it being geograp hically or resource wise invalid. and I repeated I didn't say it would hap pen but it is needed. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n No one questioned the financial vultures on the pain of Black New Orleans. But the reality is\, gardless of the money\, black new orleans need to be its own state. Any action thro ugh the government will not work\, why ?the constitution gives all powers not mentioned to the federal government to the states\, not the counties\, not the cities. so state level power is mandatory for certain levels of t hings. You can't get around that legally\, unless you are going to change the federal law to extend state powers to counties and cities which i am 1 00% will have a lot of opposition and not just from the money but the poor who comprehend the complexity of that. and the usa is never been good at complexity. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n Now if your arguing\, find a way for the financial sector to make new orleans become a state. You need to say that first and foremost\, that should not be implied by \" follow the money\" B ut\, the problems with that is nature of most fiscal concerns in the usa t oday are publicly traded\, which means they are global in citizenship view \, which means they are against the adding of governmental layers of burea ucracy. If anything all... most of the business concerns want is an end to louisiana and just a federal government. That will make it more profitabl e. so\, I don't see any financially feasible path for monied concerns to l ead the way in new orleans becoming its own state. The fact that new orlea ns would be a city state also means they don't have the land to offer busi ness concerns. I can see maybe the crypto currency people if new orleans h ad lots of land to give\, but it doesn't\, no city state does have lots of land to give\, historically. that is why they are called city states.  a nd Most city states\, today\, Monaco/SIngapore/macau/hong kong/really smal l islands in the caribbean  are city states because of circumstances. hon g Kong and Macau was made because china was impotent and the english and p rotuguese wanted trading cities in strategic locations. China would never have made that deal if strong. Many details. Monaco sits between france an d italy  and in a way spain\, an area at one time  of countless wars so monaco wasin a war zone. kind of like the cities in Kashmir. and out of th at to modernity came monaco . \n\n\n\n New Orleans doesn't have a situati on to aid it\, it can only literally use the legal system in the usa which allows for states to be made.\n\n\n\n the constitution says\n\n\n\n https ://legalclarity.org/how-does-a-new-state-become-a-state/\n\n\n\n https://c onstitution.congress.gov/constitution/article-4/\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n New St ates may be admitted by the Congress into this Union\; but no new State sh all be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State\; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States\, or Parts of St ates\, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n so what does this mean? \n\n\ n\n Detroit + New Orleans as parts of states\, with the consent of the lou siiana + michigan state legislatures + the congress can become a new state . \n\n\n\n Now legally\, I argue\, both cities as black cities can make a n argument that the state legislatures of michigan + louisiana based on th eir makeup \, as mostly white\, and the history of their legsilation which is mostly anti black\, have a bias that would never consent to the creati on of the new state\, thus demands legal interpretation of article 4\, whi ch when it was made didn't consider the needs of black municipalities in t he usa in white states. I think it is an even argument. And not all states are physically contiguous so that isn't a problem. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n 0 2252026\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n Citation\n\n\n\n https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/124 38-if-you-live-in-the-usa-how-many-have-died-from-the-cold-in-the-city-whe re-you-live-in/#findComment-80319\n\n\n\n osted just now\n\n\n\n @ProfD  \n\n\n\n   On 2/23/2026 at 9:47 PM\, ProfD said:\n\n\n\n I didn't thin k about the rules to posting in your threads.\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n   very funny\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n   On 2/23/2026 at 9:47 PM\, ProfD said:\n\n\n \n Black cities cannot become states because they do not have enough Black -owned private industry to sustain them.\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n If the white b usinesses/employers oull up stakes &\; leave where would the black folk s work?\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n The state would have to produce enough tax reve nue to sustain itself &\; qualify for federal funds too. \n\n\n\n  \n \n\n\n Small states i.e. Delaware\, Rhode Island\, Vermont\, Connecticut\, Wyoming\, Utah\, etc.\, have on thing in common. \n\n\n\n Expand  \n\n\ n\n Well\, in the usa in 2026\, all states in the usa get a welfare check every year from the federal government\, without that federal check even C alifornia\, which is touted \, correctly\, as the wealthiest state in the union\, would have to go into receivership. So a black state would get by law\, the same welfare check from the federal government. \n\n\n\n  \n\n \n\n Every major city or city with the populace of New Orleans or more \, biggest employer is the city itself. Detroit's biggest employer is detroit city\, nyc biggest employer is nyc\, los angeles biggest employer is los angeles city. No major city in the usa today has a bigger employer than it self. And every city gets money from the state\, but if New Orleans is a c ity-state then instead of what new orleans get because of louisiana\, whic h is white\, the federal government would give new orleans\, and if the le gal system is still running then new orleans as a state can go to court if being treated unevenly to other states\, and even the constitutionalists would have to vote in favor of new orleans. going back to article 4 of the constitution. \n\n\n\n Now as for private business in new orleans\, well ... pipeline\, goes through new orleans\, but the city gets a tax from tha t. And the pipeline isn't going anywhere. The pipeline will be against it cause it is another tax but if New Orleans gets through the stated legal s ituation to be a state the pipeline can't go anywhere. Next is the french quarter... moving a building is not cheap. Let alone finding a place for i t. If they leave the buildings they can go but that will leave all the fre nch quarter buildings for the city. The city can make laws in contingency for this. Let alone that many buildings in the french quarter are under hi storic preservation licenses so the city can use that to manage the buildi ngs new owners of if city owned new use.  The new orleans saints can move \, though i think the nfl demands the other owners vote to allow these thi ngs which is expensive\, and if the new state can provide a better scenari o than louisiana\,  the owner of will stay. The whites of cajun country w ill not want to leave\, they are tied to cajun country and if anything\, a number of them will probably want to join new orleans the state if new or leans the state can make in its state law something cajuns have always wan ted from english speaking louisiana and that is stronger protections for c ajuns who are generally fiscally poor  on their historic land.  So... fi rst the city is the biggest employer\, but as for white businesses\, all b ut pipelines can leave as you suggest but each is expensive. You seem to s uggest money will just be made\, I don't think so. it is 2026. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n Lastly\, yes\, small states tend to be ninety percent and above white\, but the point of this stream wasn't to suggest new orleans \, a b lack city\, or detroit\, a black city\, will become a state. The point was to state the truth\, that is  detroit/new orleans/ and even white new yo rk city\, financially needs is a separation from the states they are in be cause each one of them is demographically too other from the rest of the s tate they are in.  Each one of them is stymied\, financially\, by that tr uth\, that only statehood can free them from. Again\, the first projects i n the usa were in NYC\, NYC's plan\, all white government\, was to place t he projects upstate new york\, the diea was to keep the city white but off er places for the poor\, the poor being mostly white themselves though peo ple in the usa still don't comprehend most poor people are actually white in the usa\, upstate. The proof is that the first projects in nyc to this day have never had anybody black in them and the white people in them are fiscally poor. But the white towns upstate new york have always hated/disl iked/distrusted the \, and I quote\, the rotters of NYC. the law abiding w hite towns of upstate new york didn't want poor people of any kind and as NYC's population blew up with fiscally poor nonwhites\, from here there or everywhere\, NYC made more projects in NYC. But NYC was always at upstate ny states mercy because the governor of New York's main voting base isn't NYC\, it is all the law abiding white towns above new york city that got or get away with killing/harming/injuring black people in the past to this day. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n So I end with my point\, no financial argument to new orleans not becoming a state for its betterment holds any water. \ n\n DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260204 RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;INTERVAL=1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
