Many times. Same with folks who can sing and dance. Everyone has a talent. When people know more than you, listen intently. Ask questions. How does it make me feel? It's life.

@Kareem Yes, I believe that we are sicker than ever before! Oh no! This reminds me of a funny film that I loved, Black Knight starring Martin Lawrence. LOL! But, yeah! Don't get me started on that topic. I went rounds with my house friends [housemates] on this topic. They must have thought I lost my mind when they came home from work and saw a paper I posted on the Frig with bullet points on the things that they should not do with their cats! LOL! You have no idea! This is very sad. And, I think this has to do with our beginning here in America. Black women were not threatened if they spoke against Blacks but, they knew that they could not do that when it came to White people. So, many bond with White men and will never say anything if they are harmed because it will never go to court. LIke I responded to @Pioneer1 too, I believe this all happened before colonization. But many think this only began with America. REally!? I didn't know this. @Kareem Why put a limit on it? But yes, it may be asking too much for today, because we are lost, for the most part. But why not let it start with you!? Education, and knowledge of self. That is the key. YOu know, you can stil be alone with a partner, especially if the relationship is not working. Selling out is relative. Just because a person chooses to date outside of his or her race, does not necessarily mean that they are selling out. But, imo, a person should have Knowledge of Self before making these choices. or else they will be sucked into a world that they will become invisible; and in that it would be kind of like selling out.

@Maurice That was the first time I ever saw that video. In the paragraph below, it said that was Quincy Jones daughter? I never knew! I was too young to be in the main stream with a lot of this kind of music, but I grew to get to know about the Rolling Stones and, yes, I do like them. I like Mick Jagger. But when I think about the Rolling Stones, I think about Mick, and don't know all that much more about the group, as a whole. For some strange reason too, whenever I hear about Mick Jagger, I always think about Carly Simone, but I don't remember what she has to do with this? Anyway, thanks for posting this, it's bringing back some memories. @Kareem Not much! LOL. But, I listen to this song you posted, and Ahhhhhh! brings back memories! I love this song! I never saw this video before, and was never into watching videos. I usually don't watch videos, deliberately because, I always feel that I am somehow being conditioned to watch someone elses vision, and it takes away from my own freedom of interpreting music that way I need to when I listen. But, I did watch this video, and I love it!!! She is so pretty and this video makes be remember being a teenager in California, walking on the beaches and just enjoying life! I will come back to look at the other music and videos you posted. I love the song Good Times, by Chic! And, I am learning a lot about how some of the artist came together to make songs that I loved in the past. I knew about Michale Jackson and Paul, but I didn't know about Mick Jagger and etc. This is interesting!

Yes, I agree. But, it was not like we didn't know this, or we should have realized that this would happen. Oh no, it didn't. I don't understand how Black people couldn't see what was going to happen with this one. I believe that the Baby Boomers are not harmed by this HEALTHCARE-TAX LAW. But I suspect now, many Black people are quiet because they are flooded with tax problems due to this law. I don't believe Baby boomers understnad what happened because they are not the one really crushed, but it is the X-generation and the millennials that became dropped. Okay, so, for me, it went like this; If you did not clear a certain salaray range, to at least make about $16,000/year you DID NOT QUALIFY for the tax break for a cheap healthcare program nor could ou qualify for the Health Marketplace program. So, you would be charged about $1,600 EVERY MONTH!-- unless you bought an healthcare program which would have been very high! If you did not buy healthcare, then come tax file season, your taxes were seized and you would owe IRS and this is probably going on for years. So, let's talke about me, as an example. I graduated from college with a degree in Biology/Secondary Education. I passed NTE--National Teacher's Examination above average. I worked in my field of sciences until I was married and had children and this interupted me. Then, I was pursued by the government to pay back college loans so, I was pressed to work and leave my children with babysitters. Soon, I lost jobs for reasons due the care of my children. Soon Obamacare becomes a FEDERAL LAW and I now, am struggling to make the income to NOT be charged $1,600 every month... I escaped this horrible fate because of following my faith. I didn not abandoned my children and go back to work a paycheck to paycheck existence salary. I made a sacrifice for my children and supported my husband. So, my children did better at school than me, and helped me escape that terrible HEALTHCARE-TAX LAW until Trump's cabinet shot it down. So, for the past years, I have not been able to get adequate healthcare at all!... That's another problem! As of 2019, if you did abide by Obamacare, up to 2018 before it was knocked down, now, you then qualify to be comepletely EXEMPT from the fines of having to pay @1,600 every month because you don't make a high enough salary. If you don't make enough, now, you do NOT have to pay that high penalty. So for the past years, many millennials who had to work 2-3 jobs to care for their young kids and make enough to avoid that penalty, and as a result, drop their kids off at babysitters they probably could not afford, or drop their kids off at school and had them wait until nighttimge to be picked up, are sacked. For the X-generationals who had to help their adult kids while working low-paying jobs to avoid the tax penalty, their lives won't get better and they probably will owe taxes for a long, long time. I don't think baby boomers know what is going on. I agree that Obama tried to help us, but he did not. It is worse now. In this, Black America should have NOT supported a 'Black' president. As you say, under this system, whether it's a black man or white, they cannot go against a government that was set up to suppress Blacks. This is a bait and switch system. It set up on religion, all the while having chattel slavery, and then switch over to election, in order to keep chattel slavery.

Kareem The man is brilliant. Hate to say this, but I'm honestly shocked he's still with us. That brother is exposing science they don't want out there. I don't know what deal he made with the (literal) devil. But I'm happy he's still with us. 　 I'm a student of history and I like to study patterns and cycles. It appears that there seems to be a certain "type" of AfroAmerican or African in general that Caucasians can't seem to even touch let alone harm no matter how hard they try. We've all met these type of people who seem to be able to get away with doing or saying anything. These bold Black people speak the truth, organize other Africans, fight the system of White Supremacy and live to be a ripe old age and end up dying in their sleep....or dying a quick death. Exactly why this is so, why The Divine protects them to such an extent that they are never harmed...I'm not sure.....but they have and do exist. I'm trying to figure out how to be (or remain) ONE of them. 　 I hate to admit it. But me too. That's also why I don't really care if Trump is re-elected. He's going to destroy this country. I live in the boondocks and am well-armed. Any honk-boy mass chimp outs in 2021 and beyond aren't going to effect me. White billionaires will get richer. White inbreds will get more inbred. What else is new? I watch from a distance Just know you're always welcome down here if the shit goes down and you can navigate your way to the southwest 　 I appreciate the offer my brother. Don't be suprised if you see your brother way off in the distance with a sack of shit on his back and a jug of water (and maybe a lady or two by his side) treking through the deserts of the southwest making his way towards your compound....lol. I used to live in Arizona myself and believe it or not before 2012 I was hoping to make some connections with the Hopi nations down there for a sanctuary from what I thought may have been the destruction.....that didn't come. But my focus right now is staying both alive and healthy so that I can make it through and on to the OTHER SIDE of the destruction of this world. The longer it is prolonged the more the anticipation builds. I want to still be young enough and healthy enough to not just tell the youngsters what it was light living under the old Caucasian dominated system, but also to help them BUILD a brand new world for our posterity. Bring @Troy with you so you, I and @Chevdove can snap the brother out of his "they wouldn't do that to us" mentality! 😊 Maaaaayyn, Troy is down there in the middle of Klan-country down in Florida, lol. If living in state full of George Zimmermans and about 10 gun-toting red necks per-square foot isn't enough to snap the brother out.....nothing we can say to him will, lol.
