Yes, I can see that.

@Troy yes, I've spent hundreds of dollars on specially made orthotics and they didn't work, more over, they actually made my feet much worse. It took me years of trial and error to finally stumble across these particular pair of NIKE Running shoes and the last pair wore out about 2 years ago, but I just didn't have the money to replace them but last week, after complaining relentlessly to my family for help, I was finally able to buy them. I had to call all over to find them as they are hard to find in stock, believe it or not. They don't seem to ever be on sale. I tell my family that what I really need to do is to get my membership back at a community pool or something because that would really help more. But, my health is not good, so I feel pressed to do something now. It is so sad about how just because of NAME BRANDS that companies like NIKE and more, have blood on their hands. I have to say, I agree with you on how you feel though. But, I angry too, about being ripped off in the medical field as well. I wish I could find a better way. But as for Colin Kapernick, I know he going to be exploited, however, what he did, IMO was so amazing. He's one in a million, and then some. He is so young too. In the back of my mind, I am hoping that NIKE or someone behind this company chose to do this for the right reasons. @Cynique absolutely! ... car rims.... keep going.... LOL

My guy Colin Kaepernick has just secured a multi million dollar shoe deal as Nike makes him the face of 'Just Do It' 30th anniversary campaign. .

You enthusiastically do this to Troy all the time. But you remain under the thrall of pioneer 😁

NIKE is not a philanthropic organization. @Troy As a business man, yourself, why are you so contemptuous of corporations using marketing strategies in order to push their products and realize a profit for them and their stock holders? If you had your way, companies would just post a picture of their product with a caption: "This is what we are trying to sell. We'd appreciate it if you would please buy it." Nobody forces anybody to buy something that catches their fancy. Consumerism is based on a "buying what you want rather than what you need" mind-set. People tend to compartmentalize their lives and acquiring cherished possessions is a niche they set aside to spoil themselves.

@ChevdoveI do owe you my notes which I'm still gathering to package. In the meantime, I found this some time ago and used some of the information to create the "fictional" events in my novel. I haven't verified all these accounts but it appears you have; so you might find this interesting - HISTORIA AFRICANA calendar that begins in 100,000 bce to the present. http://www.africanfront.org/calendar.php Just in case someone changed some, I copied and pasted every single page for my files. And I posted it here too http://thedailymindf-ck.blogspot.com/2011/10/historia-africana-part-i.html http://thedailymindf-ck.blogspot.com/2011/10/historia-africana-part2.html http://thedailymindf-ck.blogspot.com/2011/10/historia-africana-part-3.html http://thedailymindf-ck.blogspot.com/2011/10/historia-africana-part-4.html

@Cynique 🎤 -drop This is a powerful statement! The truth of it hit me unexpectedly -I got tears. Damn!!! This right here is the truth of all of us ....and the truth is in its simplicity.

@Pioneer1 the initial conversation was referring to sexual assault and rape of minors. Child beauty pageants aren't indicative of that type of criminal activity. If it were , or even if making that leap wasn't nonsensical, child beauty pageants would be illegal. Further you stated that "caucasians" were proned to sexual assault and rape minors. Child beauty pageants, children wearing makeup and dressing in party dresses and gowns is NOT sexual assault and rape. Further, although they may get more publicity, children's beauty pageants are not limited to "caucasians"... Seriously, look outside of the world you've created for yourself. I can't tell you how many black church beauty pageants, fashion shows, debuntante balls and cotillions I've seen or was in while growing up. Hal Jackson's International talented teen pageant was a huge event for years... I was a contestant when I was 14 years old... The fashion industry used to use models who were young as 12 years old. Most designers use children because they don't have curves or muscles. Therefore, you could see the haute couture designs without focusing on the body wearing it. Unfortunately for the young models, some grotesque individuals pursued the children for sex i.e., The perverts sexualized the children; not the clothing. Now most of the fashion industry is closed to young models who could earn good money for college etc. But that didn't stop the perverse from trafficking children for their perverted pleasure. Once again human trafficking for sex isn't specific to one culture, ethnicity etc but rather those who have the most power. Further, the concept of sexualizing girls or boys is in the mind of the beholder. I don't look at children and think "sex"... I don't care what they are wearing. Babies are babies period. Those who see children as sex objects are mentally deficient and color has nothing to do with it. This perverse activity springs up in all cultures - as you can see a with the bishop feeling on Ariana Grande in front of the world. And like Chevdove mentioned a black man doing it - is the worst in my book. Especially since most black women are more inclined to date and marry a black man before considering anyone else. Therefore black women hold black men to a higher standard full stop. If however you still want to limit pedophilia to an ethnic group think about many African tribes and those who practice islam who still take young girls for "wives"... There are many ethnic groups practicing their so-called religion who make it "legal" to molest, sexually assault and rape children.

Ugh . . @Pioneer1 This is the most taxing statement of all in this dialogue, for me. While I understand exactly what you mean about the Catholic priest as you said earlier in this thread, and I understand completely what you mean about Caucasian men and how the media uses ploys to drown out this great evil, however, it would dangerous to compare this to Pan-Africa, just based on a few historical facts with regards to slavery and the common term of 'the Slaveyard Buck'. And, don't even bring up the Greek culture because many of those Spartans were actually Black! Who was it that attacked Kalief Browder!? What do you think is going on in the prisons? But more importantly, the history about the very term that you use 'Caucasian' has this dark history too, attached to it. But most of all, this issue is personal for me. So, I don't really care about the percentages of White pedophiles versus Blacks. It is hard for me to deal with a grown Black African American man who could rape a little African American boy and steal away a baby's chance to choose to be a man in accordance to his birth gender. You know, if I was given a choice to do away with only one or the other . . . If I could only choose to judge a few Black African pedophiles or either many White pedophiles, . . . I would immediately annihilate each and every one of the Black pedophiles. I can't believe that a Black man would move to hurt a little Black African child, whether a baby girl or a baby boy. That is unthinkable for me.

@Pioneer1 I think he moved past what an assault may be though. I may be wrong on this, but this is what I remember as it was explained to me. I think it went something like this; if a person raises their hand or approaches in a threatening mode, then that would be AN ASSAULT. But if they actually came through and hit you, then that would be BATTERY; hence a criminal charge of Assault and Battery. But, in this situation, I may be wrong. Anyway, he didn't even give her a chance to say no, 'get you creepy arms off of me', because he did it in public and put her in an awkward position. But again, she doesn't need to speak out, he was wrong. It's not about her, it is about him and what he did. I definitely can appreciate assertive men, but he acted the part of a pervert. As Mel Hopkins said, he became 'a predatory monster'. She could have had a male friend or brother and then, what if the minister was retaliated against, knocked out for his act by her friend or maybe her father or uncle? They may not consider what she felt, but just respond. @Pioneer1 You wouldn't get upset if your girlfriend was groped? Umh . . . . . . That is interesting take, but @Pioneer1 hence . . . The Roman Empire . . . Do you realize that was the justification used to throw down the Original mankind? JUlius Ceasars' tactic was to appeal to a Matriarchal position because the needs of the ethnic and Black women were not met by their own mankind, and for that matter, isn't that why it is said that Jesus came? The priesthood ignored their own womankind? So, they were uprooted. So, now Black women had more freedom to get away from aggressive Black men behind the cloak of the priesthood who think that they can just 'take liberties' and go from one woman to the next . . .. without giving us . . . complete fulfillment? They must have went a little more farther than just being 'a little too aggressive with their touching'... I can't help but think about the 7 DEMONS that MARY OF MAGDALENE had... Jesus healed her of being vexed by those 7 perverts that left her wanting' . . . smh. So now, after the Church as set up, now here we go again... dealing with the Eddie Longs and what ever else...

Dang woman you posted a lot for me to delve into, lol. It's so late in the night I'm gonna have to take my time to digest all of this info and give it the proper respect it's due before responding.

I knew you were a homo BEFORE declaring your love for Del....lol. HomoSAPIENS...that is.

A Republic is in essence opposite to an oligarchy. So while yiur definition of oligarchy is acceptable. Your usage if the word T Republic ic is not. Correct usage doesn't require a college degree. However rationalising your error by exporting it isn't sensible. A Republic implies indirect rule by the people.

Sacrifice is relative. Anything you give up what robs you of what has meaning in your life is a sacrifice. Kaepernick is being elevated, not by his own design but by others seeking to villanize, idolize or capitalize off him. i think his intentions are good , which is why i continue to give him credit. He has made yet another impact thanks to NIKE. He is using them as much as they are using him. As for NIKE, just as many affluent people buy them as those who can't afford them; even more. And they come in all price ranges. Once again, you and i clash over ordinary people seeking things that make them happy instead of being satisfied with drudgery, just to make a point. i don't think anybody is being killed for their shoes anymore. Nowadays most kids from all walks of life are more focused on video games and iPhones and social media.

LOL! @Troy NIkes are too expensive for me, but before I even knew that they supported Colin, I just recently broke down and scratched my pennies to buy a pair that I need because of my problematic feet. They happened to make a pair that I can use without causing me more damage due to a job injury. And, I don't think this will make up for Colin's financial loss either. From what I understand, he was really good at his sport, so I know he made a sacrifice. I hope his parents will be proud of him though, I believe it is tough on them too. There are already some angry people though, mad at Nike.

LOL @Pioneer1 But yes, seriously though, we are not talking about the entire Earth regarding Specifically, well documented ancient city-civilizations. We don't know yet, what kind of civilizations occurred during the time the Neanderthals roamed the entire earth or lived in caves in the far east in Siberia and etc. except to say that the Neanderthals themselves mark a period primitive existence for hundreds of thousands of years. So prior to these remote time, we are not able to say what the Denisovans or other kinds of Black hominids did in Turkey. There are archeological evidence that dates back to certain time periods beyond 6,000 years ago showing the many unearthed obese figurines of 'the earth mother' in lands in East Europe and farther east. We read about the pottery of the ancient JOMON civilization in the far east and etc., we read about the huge massive long head skulls unearthed in Northeast Africa and etc. but in regards to TURKEY, all of the earlier city-civilizations with SCRIPT revolves around a Black African-typed presence. Ah! But @Pioneer1 THIS IS COMPLETELY WRONG!!! The first date that this term 'JEW' was written was way long before the Talmud was translated in Babylon. The Babylonian-Talmud did not even come into fruition until after the Roman Empire. It’s dated to be around AD 200 to 500!!! That is almost 1000 years after the Original Jews lived in Babylon! You are squeezing in history in a very small period what actually unfolded over hundreds and hundreds of years. The first time the term ‘JEW’ came about was way before the Persian Empire times! This term ‘JEW’ was based from what happened during the time of David and Solomon and due to a Civil conflict that led to a major division amongst the 12 tribes of Israel-Jacob. The term ‘JEWRY’ is in the Bible and it defines the SOUTHERN ISRAELITES of the tribes of JUDAH and BENJAMIN. Paul was from the tribe of BENJAMIN, one of the 12 tribes of Jacob. The NORTHERN ISRAELITES were called THE TEN TRIBES or JOSEPH. The headquarters for the Northern Israel was the Capital, Samaria, and the Southern Capital and headquarters was JERUSALEM in the south. Then was Daniel brought in before the king. And the king spake and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, which art of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Jewry? DANIEL 5:13. After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him. ST JOHN 7:1. So the term ‘JEW’ would be ‘an ethnicity’ and has a cultural origin. There was conflict between the tribe of Benjamin and Judah due to Saul, the Kishite was from the tribe of Benjamin. But later, David became king and the Capital was Hebron for about 7 years, then it was moved to Jerusalem and David became King over all Israel. But after he died and due to his son Solomon, later the Hebrews split. So the JEWS of JEWRY would be based on their culture in Jerusalem and, this time period lasted for a long time, over a hundred years. @Pioneer1 The Hasmoneans yes. The Idumaeans yes. But, Again, you are combining what happened in Babylon with issues that span over a very long period of time. The so-called Jews that published the TALMUD came after the Roman Empire had formed. Their ‘new religion’ is was sparked violence amongst the Original Jews, but at this time, they called themselves KARAITES or KARAITE JEWS, which means ‘BLACK JEWS’. The kinds of European Jews that did eventually became associated with this TALMUD and other terms like TORAH and the TANAKH did begin after the overthrow of the Neo-Babylonian Empire though, so I understand why you have made these statement about Paul. After the overthrow of Neo-Babylon, Cyrus of the Medo-Persian system lived during the 400s BC. He marks a time when many Jews remained in Persia-Iran and also went farther east too. But at this point, the Hebrew script was still in tact due to the Neo-Babylonian system they came out of. This was the time their scripts were codified because that was a Cush-Babylonian custom. There are a lot of gaps in our western format of educational system about this very issue, but still, this can be understood based on certain perspectives. My one main approach would be to regard a historical timeline. 900s BC--- Solomon 600s BC—the Downfall of Northern Israel 500s BC—the Downfall of Southern Israel-JEWRY 450s BC—Scriptures Codified 400s BC—the Downfall of Neo-Babylon Empire 300s BC—the Downfall of Medo-Persia Empire 300s BC—the rise of the Greek Empire 200s BC—the Conflicts of the Greco-Roman period AD 200s- 500s—the formation of the TALMUD *** What is important about this confusion about the mixed Jews of those times and their script would be to not concentrate on them but rather the Original Jews and Israelites of Northern Israel. The Ten Tribes play a vital role in this issue. After they were overthrown and scattered, many of them became defined as GREEKS by the time the SEPTUGAINT was published. And the KOINE GREEK was used in the translations from their old language to the language at that time. The Septuagint was based on that KOINE GREEK LANGUAGE. **** 200s BC--During this time the SEPTUGAINT was published, based on scholars in North Africa, which consisted of JEWS, HEBREWS, GREEK-HEBREWS... and Pharisees. And yes, the Original Jews had long been overthrown by this time too. However, many of them that migrated back to Jerusalem at the time of Cyrus and later, Darius-the-Mede, became apart of the translations of the Septuagint. It was during this time that the Hellenes began to be significant due to the Ptolemy dynasty. And the Hasmoneans and Idumaeans also come into this conflict during the Roman time period too. Paul would have been influenced by the Septuagint as would Jesus about 200 years later when they were alive. Between the time of the Septuagint and Paul though, the Jewish National Movement occurred and during that time, holidays were superimposed on top of ancient Biblical holidays and this too became a confusion. But Paul became in agreement with the works of Jesus and this movement. Today, the scholars admit that there are numerous contradictions to the Talmud that do not agree with neither the Septuagint nor the Masoretic text. It is just like today, even though there is a serious movement to define many immigrants as being ‘African American’, it doesn’t change the original KJV Bible that the Original AfroAmerican Descendants of Slaves have been using for hundreds of years. *** The most important point in understanding the authenticity of the earlier translations would be completely based on the definition and description of the Original Israelites as written in the PENTATUCH. The ethnicity of the Original Jews and Israel of Northern Israel MUST possess and retain a certain trait over the span of their generations for the third and fourth generations of any government that they are a part of and this is detailed in the scriptures. This would be the key conflict with the Talmud. The definition that Moses wrote to define his people would be the very contention of the Talmud. Another feature in order to validate the original ancient scriptures would be contained in the Pentatuch in that all scriptures must agree. The Old Testament authors writings must agree with the Gospel which would be the New Testament writings. So, Paul’s writings agree with this basis. So if you still believe that Paul is a fraud, then hopefully, you will be able to share your references so I can see.

@Mel Hopkins Thank you so much! And, your post was so on point! @Cynique You are welcome! @Pioneer1 Thank you. @Pioneer1 I think it is because that was only step 1. I am speaking on a personal basis here. I can't believe that you can't see this for what it is. Ms. Grande's smiling mean noting to his behavior. He borderlined if not crossed the line on what is criminal, and that is why the news reports showed the clip. It's obvious. I was taught that a person doesn't even have to touch you, and certain behaviors is considered 'AN ASSAULT'. Ms. Grande may have smiled and kept up an decent reaction due to being 'caught off guard' and for the sake of the situation being public, but she was clearly tensed up at his grabbing her like that.
