    Sometimes when I'm driving down the street and listening to Hiphop...especially old school Hiphop artists like Ice Cube, LL Cool J, Pete Rock And CL Smooth, ect....I have to marvel and shake my head at the creativity and wisdom involved in coming up with the lyrics they rhyme. Not just the lyrics but the flow. When you sit down and think about it, you have to say there's a Divine Spark in some of these brothers that allow them to not only come up with the words but to put them together in such a captivating and entertaining way. It's just a shame that it's often used negatively. Nobody can tell me that that same Creativity can't be used to build buildi…

  6. If the premise the question is based on is illogical....then that makes the question illogical. Take Del's question for example.............. "What if you discovered that everything you believe is wrong" First of all, if you "discovered" something....you obviously BELIEVE that which you claim to have discovered. So that discovery is part of your BELIEFS. Now if you're gonna claim that "everything" you believe is wrong....then you would HAVE to acknowledge that your recent "discovery" was wrong too since it's a part of your beliefs. However that wouldn't make any sense because for that statement to be true.....you couldn't be correct about your …

  7. @Chevdove @Franchesca ((but obviously anyone can chime in)) Why did God allow it? Both of you seem to love quoting the Bible and the prophecies of the Bible and how it relates to the plight and destiny of Black people here in the United States. An often favorite prophecy pointed to is the one in Genesis where "Abraham's seed" is supposed to be oppressed for over 400 years and then rescued. But my question to you two is why did God ALLOW our people to go through that in the first place? I know it's prophecied in scripture, however did it HAVE TO go down that way? What was the purpose of allowing our people to suffer for hundreds …

  8. The Bible is the book written by our black ancestors, became lost, found by Europeans, and who returned it to us. Read more at the Black History Knowledge site Many sub-Sahara Africans, are the twelve tribes of Israel in exile. The Hebrews are not lost. The Bible makes it abundantly clear they are in sub-Sahara Africa. Consider the following verse. "From beyond the rivers of Cush My worshipers, My scattered people will bring Me an offering." Zephaniah 3:10 So there you have it. The Israelites are in the Land of Cush, which is sub-Sahara Africa. They fled there when Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonians destroyed ancient Israel 3000 years ago. This mean…

I'll give a few examples.............. Take Troy's thread on fake news and how so many people NOW acknowledge that the news is fake and manipulative. Well, prior to the 60s you didn't hear any talk.

It's a business trip for POTUS PJB. Saudi Arabia can open the spigot (OPEC) and flood the market with oil. I believe US national average gas prices will drop below $4 per gallon this fall right before the midterm elections. When gas is cheaper Americans will be wishing POTUS PJB hugged MBS. 🤣 Politcs is a dirty business. Then, there is a darker side. 😎

I guess she is loving all the freedoms our beautiful flag represents after seeing what real injustice is all about opposed to fake injustice. This is what happens when a bunch of spoiled thugs protest issues they have absolutely no clue about. Maybe the brat thug gets released soon and she could be more respectful. In an ironic twist, Brittney who was trying to play the victim role is now an actual victim. Be careful for what you wish for.

    Embattled UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set to resign at some point. Maybe PM Johnson will finally get to the barbershop for a decent hair cut. He also needs to see a tailor to get fitted for suits. After 60 members of his government quit, PM Johnson has lost the confidence of his party. The citizens are ready to see his circus leave town too. I hope the US will be fortunate enough to keep its former clown in chief from bringing his big top back to Washington. All it takes is for the GOP to close ranks and shut him out. Unfortunately, power and greed are intoxicating. 😎

So a suspect doesnt make any sudden/ suspicious movements that can be construed as putting a police officer at risk. Grabbing a cell phone can look like a gun. Grabbing something under a seat or the glove compartment when the police order you not to can get you shot ( black or white ). fleeing from the police in a vehicle can get you shot. Running from the cops and making a sudden turn towards the cops when the police order you to put up your hands can get you shot. Duante …

    As mentioned before, when it comes to interracial dating, sex, and marriage.....I have a DOUBLE STANDARD. My rules for Black women are much different than my rules for Black men. I personally believe that Black men should be able to date and have sex with any race of women who consent, as long as HE has the upper hand in the relationship. However when it comes to Black women, I don't approve of them having sex with or even marrying White men except for EXTREME circumstances. I know this standard isn't equal, but I think it IS relatively fair.
