  1. My laptop is realtively high end, but the built in video camera is trash. I'm going to Best Buy tomorrow lol!
  2. So what that’s what freedom means. The ability to accept and reject. If OTHER people are making the laws and enforcing them, then YOU don't have the ability to accept them or reject them. The only choices YOU have are to either OBEY or DISOBEY (and face the consequences). There is no such thing as a "free" civilization, by the way. If there are rules and laws (as there SHOULD be) then there is no "freedom" by it's very definition. If most Americans were truly "free", so many wouldn't be locked up in jails and prisons.
  3. Oh no I agree non-Black people certainly don't like it when AfroAmericans complain about their establishments. But it RARELY HAPPENS that AfroAmericans complain to them. You go to most ghettoes and the ghetto is FULL of non-AfroAmericans (Koreans, Arabs, ect....) running shitty businesses, selling rotten meat, selling liquor and cigarettes and other things to children. Most AfroAmericans either ignore it or if they complain about it they do it to EACHOTHER but not to them. One brother spent 15 minutes complaining to ME over Arabs selling cigarettes to children instead of going down and yelling at HIM about it. But these same negroes who won't get up in an Arab's face and yell at him about selling GREEN pork-chops with worms wiggling around inside the package...he'll go into an AfroAmerican store and raise HOLY HELL and start doing flips up and down the aisle about why a can of pork-n-beans costs $2. "Man....wha'choo chargin' 2 dollars fo' dis shit fo' ???? I can go to wal-mart and get dis shit for 25 cent a can ! Da' hell you tryna do...nicca....ROB folks ???? You tryna ROB yo' people.....DAMN! " .....and even slap bags of potato chips off the counter as he storms out the door. Our people are often times MUCH harder on eachother for even the SLIGHTEST hint of mistreatment or injustice.
  4. Yeah, I agree! @Pioneer1 Well, on that note, I think about my Great grandmother who was brought over here to America as a slave at the age of around 10 years old... then at 12, she gave birth to an half-white offspring and then at 14 she did again... then she was sold away... Yeah right, escaping poverty doesn't require criminal activity!? LOL the Americans that set up this system didn't do criminal activity because it was not define that way by them. smh.
  5. Poverty is a Choice in America. You may be born into it but you don’t have to stay in it. Ofcourse you don't have to stay in it. You can just go to PRISON....where you're no longer officially listed among the poor....by engaging in behavior in your pursuit to escape it! It's interesting how they lock so many AfroAmerican men up for attempting to escape poverty.....but they aren't locking up the MILLIONS of illegal immigrants who are sneaking in here for the same reasons. Infact, they make EXCUSES for illegal immigrants breaking the laws but won't make any for YOU if YOU break it! It seems to me that SOMEBODY is picking and choosing who they want to stay in poverty and who they are helping to get out.....lol.
  6. They loved and references Dr. King all day every day when he was preaching non-violence and begging for Caucasian acceptance....especially as an alternative to a more militant Malcolm X. But 3 things changed MLK's perception in Caucasian America: 1. Malcolm X was assasinated. So there was no more "boogy man" alternative to point to for those who wouldn't accept King. 2. As MLK got older, more mature, and wiser and ESPECIALLY after meeting with Elijah Muhammad.....he realized how ingrained racism was in America and he also saw how evil the society was and wondered whether or not it was worth integrating his people into a "burning house" ruled by people who were on their way to hell. 3. He started preaching against the war in Vietnam and sent veiled threats of Russia taking over. Those 3 things....all occurring in just a 3 year time span between 1965-1968.....soured the taste of MLK in the mouths of so many Caucasian Americans so much that in some places when it was announced that MLK had been assassinated the public actually CHEERED! 😟
