The leadership is worried about protests. There is no reason for food shortages anywhere on this planet. Nobody should ever go hungry or be homeless either. The most developed countries throw away almost as much food as they consume. Farmers can provide plenty if they're not being paid to stop producing My position is not steeped in socialism.

Has anyone else noticed something that seems to be more and more common when you talk to a lot of people at home lately? It seems that a lot of people are simply letting their smoke alarms beep and chirp. They aren't changing the batteries. They are just letting them chirp and ignoring them and if you say something about it they will either act like they didn't notice or get annoyed that you even mentioned it. It's like going over someone's house with roaches. They are all over the place but you're supposed to "pretend" that you don't see them...lol. I started noticing this 10 of 11 years ago and then started noticing it online when people were …

https://www.foxnews.com/world/who-barbecue-gang-leader-wreaking-havoc-haiti @Pioneer1, dysfunctional Black folks arent unique to the USA.🤣 All h8ll is breaking lose in Haiti. The de facto dude in charge calls himself Barbecue. Last week, the wife of President Jovenel Moïse was charged along with others in his 2021 assassination. A country run by Black folks can't get right. Of course, foreigners interfere in their affairs but there's no shortage of greed and corruption among the Haitian people too. 😎

I didn't watch the State of the Union address. I figured I could catch the sound bytes and high(?) lights later. The reviews, which all seem to be limited to Biden supporters, said ol Joe gave a good accounting of himself. But from what I saw, he came across as a crotchety ol geezer telling kids to stay off his lawn. I don't believe he changed many minds, and I just think the Dems could pick some one more impressive to run against tRump. This spawn of Satan looks like he might reclaim the presidency. And if he gets back in, he has promised that heads will roll, as he goes on a vengeful rampage. If he loses he will, of course, claim the election was rig…

I love the fact that the two parties can unite around this sole issue in the house of representatives. This issue represents the third path. For me, this is the history of the internet. The internet with all of its usa based, infiltrating/spying/sneaking/data thieving websites was acceptable. but then, came, the first, and to date only non usa based website to truly gain mass appeal in the usa. Bytedance's tiktok and the usa system is full against it. Helping native americans get what they are owed? multivided Helping blacks get what they are owed? multivided Helping women grow faster? multivided Helping countries outside …

He said he can tell people about in one day six million riders and only six felonies that day but people need to feel safe. So, the mayor of NYC is flat out saying that the problem isn't crime but the perception of crime in nyc and this means that people , like some in this very online community are so frightened or afraid of violence that even if they have no personal story or incidence they are only content when zero but that is a dysfunctional desire. But, the war on crime is turning , every day more and more i notice the mayor or governor seem dedicated to getting latinos as the primary war on crime target which overall is going to be better for the black …

I admit I love the graphic simply because it shows how in germany you have people who drop out of school or not vaccinated. Merely because media in the usa tends to suggest that the only children who drop out of school in all of humanity is black kids in the usa, which some black people actually repeat. Second , us media has made it seem like people in the usa who didn't get vaccinated endangered the whole world, like everyone else on earth got vaccinated. The lies of usa media, which get resounded by so many, made me enjoy this post visuality.

More gossipy stuff at the top of my YouTube Feed. I clicked because curiosity got the best of me, and the sources was Forbes. Cornel West is brilliant intellectual, but a regular man like the rest of us. I'm glad Forbes is not poking around my finances it would be embarrassing. Getting divorced is a great way to destroy wealth and he has been divorced 5 times.

This popped to the top of my feed this afternoon, this was a worthwhile distraction. If this is indeed a letter from a formerly Black man. The brother was a genius.

I don’t know exactly when this will happen, but everything that I see going on suggests that the days for websites are numbered which means that I need to figure some things out. You have AI Systems that’s scrape the web and provide brilliantly crafted responses to user questions based on that content. They do this without paying the contact creators. And in the vast majority of cases the uses have no reason to go to the underlying website, meaning websites, go increasingly uncompensated for their content. This is one of the ways that Google has really hurt websites, but AI promises to make this far worse and is an existential threat to all websit…

…. so say the determinists. toss a ball in the air. If we know the force applied, we know the exact trajectory the bar will take. The same as true not just for your life but the entire universe. Free will is an illusion. Our minds are too feeble to calculate the exact trajectory of our lives, or even wrap our brains around the entire notion, but that doesn’t make it untrue. Maybe as people get older, they begin to realize this, on some level, and they become increasingly bored with life. In much the same way a little kid can be entertained by the game, I Declare War, as they grow older they begin to find the game boring —dumb …

I am pleased that two paramedics have been sentenced to serve time behind bars. BUT IT IS NOT ENOUGH! Elijah should not have been stopped in the first place. And after he was stopped, judging from his mannerisms and his timid behavior, he should have been let go.

I thought about donald trump owing eighty three million to a woman already getting money from him for defamation over years. It occurs to me, black men of nyc who have been in the prison system are settling for too low. IF defamation over ten years can get eighty three million then seven million is too little to someone falsely imprisoned for over two decades.

Neither former POTUS Orange Julius nor bootlick Rep. Donalds realizes most Black voters aren't felons or ex-convicts. It's rumored that Rep. Donalds could be a potential VP running mate.

New York State has levied more than $25 million in fines against unlicensed smoke shops while it has collected $22,500 in fines from unlicensed shops. Where is no mercy. Where is the black church? Where are the people in various black communities, offline or online like this one, that constantly complain about drug use or drug activity? I remember being a child in New York City, so many self righteous black people would get on white media and preach daily about drugs in the black community. Criminalizing any black person just trying to get by. Where are they now? Most people in the usa don't have a high school diploma, near 70%. Why did some Black people make it s…

https://foxsportsradio.iheart.com/content/2024-02-21-kansas-city-chiefs-parade-shooter-told-police-he-was-just-being-stupid/ Unfortunately, in an episode of dumb sh8t n8gglets do, a 23-year-old Black man decided to pull a gun and start shooting at another group of dudes with whom he had words. The shooter claimed he pulled his gun because he feared the young woman with him might get shot by someone from the other group. Reads like he was showing off. The argument stemmed from the shooter looking at the other group. That's dumb n8gglet sh8t right there. A set of eyeballs should not lead to shots fired. Further down the road o…

The conversation took place last in November and pretty much covers my thoughts on the state of the world wide web. At 1 hour and 24 minutes, this is probably the longest video I have even posted. It will be interesting to see how YouTube's algorithm treats this video. If you have time to watch I'm looking for feedback. Does the information resonate or not? Do you care about the subject, why or why not? Do I make a compelling case, or is it mostly boring 🥱

It's funny how one thing leads to another and then to another............ Been on a "Bumpy Johnson" mission for the past couple weeks....lol. Can't seem to get enough entertainment or information about the brother since a lot of the old movies I grew up watching were really about HIM but I didn't know it. I happened to watch one of my favorite Denzel Washington flix "American Gangster" a few nights ago and of course it was about Bumpy Johnson's driver who turned gangster Frank Lucas. At one point they played a song by Bobby Womack.... "Across 110th Street"...that we started jamming to. I downloaded it and was playing it over and over on my way to wo…

When I got fired from my old job for refusing to take the vaccine, was facing homelessness, and ended up finding a new job doing PHYSICAL work at my age.....it was so disappointing. Part of me was happy that I was able to find SOMETHING to maintain a decent income and keep the bills paid but another part of me was angry and frustrated that I didn't have more and why I wasn't in a better situation. The actual job itself isn't the best, but one of the things I love about it is the opportunity I now have to work with so many Africans from around the Continent. I'm not sure why but nearly a THIRD of the labor force I work with are Black Africans from over 30 diffe…

This is Cynique. As previously announced, my new user name is "aka Contrarian" so "A" is now me. I don't know why I'm still alive. But I am. Since I have nothing better to do, unless I sudndenly croak, I'll be hanging around here, injecting my contrary opinions from time to time. zzzzz

This idea or question has been floating around my head. I haven't quite figured how to express it. I think people need to be told what to like. Otherwise why have critics advertising and fashion icons. Or it could be that people just want to feel like the belong to a group or community

I mentioned in a couple of threads how when I got into politics I would get on the microphone and go to meetings cussing, shouting, and criticizing White folks, the system, racism, and a host of other things. And to my surprise (when I first started doing it) a lot of White folks LOVED it and would come up to me after the meeting or rally and shake my hand or have a conversation with me and many of them would give me or whatever organization I was in at the time money. I'm not talking about money with an agenda attached to it....although I did get those offers as well. I mean digging in their purse and just handing me $100 or $50 or sometimes $400 and say "I hop…

I define black americans in this post as black people from canada to argentina whose forebears were mostly enslaved in the usa from the 1500s to 1800s. Very specific so no not, black people from africa or asia as free immigrants today. Now I realize i am very late with this question. But I know that the black populaces of guyana/suriname/french guiana/brazil/venezuela/ecuador all have carnavals. And the black populace of north america has mardi gras.

Why White People are Called Caucasian I came across this scholarly video a few years ago and believe that it is very informative! At about the 16:25 minute mark a Black American man gives his viewpoint on his experience when he lived in Moscow about how Caucasians are viewed today in that area. However, my research goes much deeper than this scholarship! Although what I am going to share is not part of this video but I do believe it is very important. For example, in this video it is brought out that the term Caucasians was applied to White people around the modern age of our history. But now, I will share…

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/marilyn-mosby-former-top-prosecutor-baltimore-convicted-mortgage-fraud-rcna137646 Marilyn Mosby rose to national prominence when Freddie Gray died while in the custody of Baltimore police. Mosby has gone from prosecutor to being convicted of mortgage fraud. Amazing that she spent time becoming educated in law only to do something stupid. I hope she doesn't go to prison. Since she'll never practice law again, maybe she could become a consultant or educator. Help a future generation of young folks.😎

I am glad I can say in my lifetime i saw none of the above win, cause many people chide that as a false option and i don't think it is. https://news.yahoo.com/nevada-hold-presidential-primaries-caucuses-050306654.html NONE OF THE ABOVE! Now the communal question is why are so many black people opposed to the concept of none of the above?

https://www.msnbc.com/the-reidout/reidout-blog/reparations-california-legislative-black-caucus-rcna137057 Leave it up to Black bootlicks and shills to undermine Black folks. Cash payments to FBA/ADOS should be a cornerstone of any type of reparations package. Too many Black politicians and entertainers are sellouts and the most dangerous folks among us. Those Black folks work overtime upholding the system of white supremacy at the expense of our people.😎

I have a series of questions for you @Chevdove concerning your research on the worship of Baal and how it has impacted people and societies around the world through out history. First of all let me state clearly that I ONLY worship The SUPREME BEING. I worship no other Deities. I offer honor and respect and other positive attributes to some other Higher Beings, however my worship and ultimate Honor and Respect goes to The CREATOR of all Existence. Having said that...... You've done an excellent job following and detailing the various forms of "Baal Worship", so a couple questions right from the start are: 1. Is worshipping Baal actually WRONG to do…

The biggest threat to the Black community are Wedlock, dreadlocks, and obesity. Its the top 3 along with the obvious ( Violent crime). Wedlock- no fathers, no family structure, and young mothers. dreadlocks- silly hair style goes hand in hand with tattoo’s, and silly clothing. No one will ever take you seriously. Obesity- particularly black women. Its an epidemic in the black communty as is diabetes. Irresponsible diets in the black community. All of these issue are Self Inflicted and our own fault as a black community.
