This board's purpose is to facilitate the exchange of opinions, ideas, facts, and information as it relates to Black people.

  1. I saw on local news , black people talking about Juneteenth , and voting was mentioned as an action, besides the ever common mentioning of Black folk in the past. I will not repeat the details , but all the representatives of my district from the city to the congress are black and donkeys. Now, they haven't done anything brilliant but I don't know what more can a black populace in a district in the usa do then choose a candidate that says they will do better. Voters don't have a gun to anyone's head. They can't force anything. But a question occurred to me. if 100% of black people, who were eligible to vote, voted in the USA, what action will be uttered by the …

  6. It's quite apparent now that there was no widespread voter fraud during the 2020 presidential election. The contest was the most watched and the most closely examined election in history. And the preponderance of evidence shows simply: THERE WAS NO WIDESPREAD VOTER FRAUD. Trump lost and even his daughter Ivanka knew it. Barr called Trump's claims "Bullchit!" Rudy Giuliani is now facing facing ethics charges from the Washington, D.C., bar association for going on and on about phony election fraud claims. As hateful as Trump is, it did not surprise me that Lord Dampnut supported Vladimir Putin's vicious invasion of Ukraine. A few other GOP'ers seemed to do s…

    Nevermind the fact that SCOTUS Justice has a job for life that pays over $255k annually. Apparently, Justices are also allowed to sign book deals while sitting on the bench: https://www.sent-trib.com/news/justice-barretts-425k-tops-among-supreme-courts-authors/article_ef630d86-e8e7-11ec-ab16-4fa20f798a88.html Justice Amy Comey Barrett appointed in 2020 has already received a $425k advance on a book deal worth $2 million. This is just an example of how public officials rake in a lot of dough beyond their salaries. It might also influence, er, explain their politics. Watch their hands. Follow the money. 😎

    There are definitely generational differences in how people view the world. I actually grew up in a dangerous neighborhood in a crime ridden city. One could reasonably argue that carrying a weapon was warranted because there was a good chance you would be robbed. But when I was a kid I was not being constantly fed a diet, to a handheld computer, of mass shooting from all over the country every minute of the day. Today I live a a virtually crime free and safe neighborhood in Tampa Florida. but people are more afraid and concerned about security than I have ever been. Packages can be left on my stoop for days and no one will steal them. I can l…

    As the gun control debate continues, it only makes defenders of the 2nd amendment more nervous. So, the most logical thing for gun lovers to do is run out and buy more guns before the stores close. I doubt supply chain shortages will affect the gun industry. But, that won't stop folks from making sure they've got more than a couple firearms. Besides, if the government makes it harder for folks under 21 years old to buy an AR-15, those individuals are beating the legislation. Politicians will talk a good game but I do not believe gun laws will change in America. The 2nd amendment generates too much money. 😎

    Several months ago, we were told gas prices were going up as a result of the *ahem* conflict. Nevermind that the US only gets 2% of its oil from Russia. Most US oil comes from OPEC. Then, there's US oil reserves as a result of pumping a half million or more barrels per day over many years. In other words, there's no good reason for the price of gas to hit a $5 per gallon average or higher anywhere in America. Yet, the greedy oil companies and their allies will get away with it because Americans are too complacent to complain. I had a feeling that after a 2-year lockdown due to a pandemic and economic slow down and raisin…

  18. Even though blacks and Southern "redneck" white have traditionally been arch enemies throughout American history, they may have more of a common cultural heritage than meets the eye. On Youtube, black conservative columnist Thomas Sowell posted a video called Where Does Current Black Culture Come From. I have a link below to the abridged version of the video. The unabridged version is about an hour long. If you have the time, it might be worth checking out. That video was really an eye-opener! Not too many people would suspect that the urban, gh…

Knoesen’s group explored the possibility of using a biological weapon to infect and kill Black people, including the poisoning of water reservoirs supplying Black communities, according to the prosecution. South Africa was once ruled by the vicious Afrikaa…

It was not stolen. Donald Trump lost the election. Joe Biden won the election. It’s really clear,” the former GOP leader said in an interview with WISN 12 News published on May 23. Ryan also plans to hold a fund raiser for embattled Liz Cheney, R-Wis, one of the few brave folks in the GOP who voted to impeach the Liar-in-Chief. What doe…

  34. Abbott Nutrition decided that spending the money to clean equipment at its shuttered baby formula plant in Sturgis, Mich., was not as important as enriching its shareholders. In fact, FDA officials were given warnings about food safety violations at the plant in October 2021, according to a 34-page document reviewed by staff at Politico. The document, which detailed lax cleaning practices at the plant, was sent along to the FDA officials. Two infants died after Abbott officials deliberately falsified records about the dirty plant equipment, a whistleblower said. This is why the Sturgis plant was ordered to shut down creating a terrible shortage of baby formula. …

I am using these 2 as example because it's recent, but there are many other cases o could talk about. My point is how come black women as a whole seem to choose the most toxic worse men of our race? By that I mean seemingly successful black women also choose the worse most toxic men in our race. Sure we all heard women love bad boys, but by in large black women out of every race seem to be the ones to consistently and more often than not choose bad partners...

  47. The Anti-Abortion group says their next step is a federal ban on contraception and abortion. This move criminalizes women and will also stomp over the right to privacy. When I first began visiting this forum in 2010, there was a lot of talk about the fall of the Black community because unmarried Black women were having babies with multiple men. I noticed, too - no one put the onus on men. I'll never understand that perspective, mainly since men cause 100 percent of unwanted pregnancies. But let's say women lose the right to choose abortion. And any attempt to abort, a woman becomes a felon. Felons lose their rights to participate in society, esp…
