I'm not into censorship, or steering per se, so I'll have to defer on what could be a very long list.

Why is black America always complaining about how it feels it’s being treated by other groups, when what it really needs to do first, is get its own house in order? Let’s take a step back and a brief look at black America’s self-inflicted damage. From the top, black Americans: -- Chronically blame their problems on others. -- Don’t practice good study habits, score low on basics tests, and discount the value of getting a good education. -- Are physically unfit, eat poorly, and smoke and consume alcohol heavily, which contributes to a disproportionate suffering from obesity, high blood pressure, emphysema, and kidney, heart and liver disease. -- Exponentially commit more crime and are incarcerated, accordingly. -- Often, refer to each other as the N-word daily, without even flinching. -- Refer to their women as b!tches, hos and c-words in condescension within their own households, business venues, and in film, TV, stage and other productions. -- Abandon their children and leave them fatherless and in poverty. -- Consume and share fentanyl, cocaine, crack, heroin, ecstasy and other regulated drugs at a phenomenal rate. -- Hate their own self-image and resort to plastic surgery, skin lightening and so forth to escape their blackness. -- Deceive each other by pretending to be a race or racial composition, that they’re not. -- Religiously follow the (yes) Ku Klux Klan-founding Democrat party, which is using and abusing them to its own advantage, leading them right off the proverbial cliff. -- Willfully remain ignorant of finance, economics, geopolitics, pharmaceutical, and other very critical areas. -- Laugh and chuckle at the buffoonery of how they are grossly depicted and portrayed in television, movie, advertising, radio, and other mediums. -- Fail to gain a solid command of their native language (English) and as a result, resort to Ebonics and poor grammar and diction to showcase their non-conformity, which impedes their ability to effectively communicate. -- Frequently give their children distinctly black names, which only compound the child’s ability to succeed in the business world they generally, need to be part of. -- Criticize blacks who to them, don’t seem to be black enough. -- Support phony, manipulative and bellicose black leaders and race hustlers who are wholly incompetent (e.g., Al Sharpton, Bennie Thompson, Maxine Waters, Jim Clyburn, Lori Lightfoot, Keisha Lance Bottoms, Letitia James). -- Are more interesting in bling, than brains; got to have those Nike shoes, etc. -- Voluntarily rely on government assistance to sustain their standard of living, instead of getting a job, working hard, becoming entrepreneurial, and setting a positive example. -- Continue to blindly succumb to the trappings of the professional gaming, entertainment, media and sports (GEMS) industries, which are explicitly designed to separate people from their hard-earned money, while adding (absolutely) NO value whatsoever, to the lives of the average everyday person. Obviously, anyone anywhere could go on and on and on about black America and its parity with the rest of society and the world. For the (black) everybody haters out there, don’t trip over your lips while you’re losing your mind over the black condition. Instead, figure out a way to wash your dirty laundry so you don’t smell when you walk across the threshold of reason, dominance, success and self-fulfillment.

Just dropped in to get a whiff of what's going on here since I made my last departure, an exit that deferred to my aversion for being around those I can't stomach. And what a good decision that was. OMG! I can only gasp at how the vibe here has become even more irritating. 🙄 'Felt like I had stumbled into a FOX "News" echo chamber, reeking with the gospel of right wing half truths, and rampant with hysterical conspiracy theories involving the ubiquitous "they". But - before I provide further material for possible rebukes from Mzuri in her self-appointed role as the Sergeant-at-Arms of this forum, ever ready to lecture those who don't conform to the protocols she has taken the liberty to put in place, - let me assure that i am aware no one really gives a damn what I think. (And I don't give a damn that nobody doesn't give a damn.) 😝 Now, as I was saying... mulling over what's going on here, i've reached the conclusion that this mind boggling phenomenon called CIVILIZATION, in its infinite journey, lurches forward doing what it has always done in an environment teeming with natural and manufactured marvels; visible and invisible dangers. And because it is the nature of the bi-ped beast evolution has spawned, humanity engages in an eternal conflict that pits the "have's" against the "have-not's", and the "already-are's" against the "wanna-be's", dumping them into a horde of "never will-be's", leaving everyone to expect freedom and justice for all. Foolish dreamers - idiots upon whom the abused Earth will eventually take its revenge. Welcome to the real world. Ah, but every poster here clings to their own version of the truth about the "real" world where the ongoing clash between the bad "them" and the good "us" wages on. And each opinionated contributor is eager to advance political narratives or embrace deep state conspiracy theories. As if a government controlled by an evil cabal has to plot something that Mankind naturally does on its own, as if what is happening now is not just another rehearsal for the highly anticipated Armageddon extravaganza, as if there was never a bubonic plague, no unrest nor revolts among the masses, no power hungry despots nor upheavals of the status quo. As if there has never been the fall of Great Empires, as if societies and cultures don't recycle and go through eras and periods wherein the more things change the more they become the same, all under the direction of a Universe with a wicked sense of humor! Ha-Ha.😄 The joke's on us as Fate mocks our hopes and Father Time yawns, bored by the repetition of the proverbial phoenix rising from its ashes. And Life goes on as Civilization survives. But all is not yet lost on this site, and in spite of it having become a haven for Democrat bashers, and a coop full of paranoid "Chicken Littles" beaned by acorns and panicked into thinking "the sky is falling, there is a calm voice of reason in this cyber wilderness, a someone exhibiting logic, and balance. Thank "goodness" for my boy, Troy, who neutralizes the histrionics and relegates others to wallow in the factoids of their misinformation. Happy New Year, ol buddy. Hang in there. And, oh yeah. Fuck Retrumpican obstructionists!

@Mel Hopkins I miss you, too! 😘 @ChevdoveGlad you still show up occasionally to disperse the pollution 😊 @Troy i'm glad you haven't lost patience with me when it comes to my squaring off with my female antagonists.😉 @Del and ProfD. i appreciate your two having the broad minds to keep things in perspective. 🙃 'Hope my reappearance annoys the right wing lackeys who slither around this forum. 😆

@Cynique @Mel Hopkins and @Troy I miss you, and the exchanges. The dialogues made me change my mind or examine my position. Thank you, Del Neither for me, nor with me.

Biden is doing that. Gas dependence. Inflation. Crime on top of Crime.

IMO, films and other artistic works should not be censored from view or hearing. Art paints a picture and provides a record of the environment and conditions that influence it. Beyond entertainment, we should use the best and worst of art to educate as well. 😎

Trump was guiding America to the Future. Space and Beyond.

Orthodox Jews live it up on Welfare Is Nels White? Because these wildly errant assertions have been proffered by White racists for decades. I've read them so many times in online forums. Well, Nels, I am sorry to inform you that Blacks do not commit more crimes than other ethnic groups. Blacks are simply arrested in greater numbers by law enforcement and often, false testimony and evidence has been employed to imprison them for long terms. The news media, especially, when it's local, will always highlight and exploit criminal acts supposedly committed by Blacks. I guess Nels never heard of the Innocence Project. The views that emanate from this poster's mind reminds me of the nonsense from White racists I contended with for years on countless online Conservative forums. They too, always made mention of Black Crime, which is kind of hilarious since more than 86% of murdered Whites are killed by other White people, according to the Justice Dept. But folks like Nels only want to grouse about killings in Black communities. it's all because for White conservatives and the Blacks who love them, Black people are the main problem. As long as Blacks who love Trump and hate Democrats can frame the debate in terms of Black crime, Black drug addiction, Black families and Black pathology it means they can ignore the spree killers, family massacres, drug addiction and criminal pathology among White people. These days, about half of Blacks suspects arrested for allegedly committing violent crimes are mentally ill, off their meds, delusional and should have be in institutions, not on the streets. Blacks support phony politicians, according to Nels? Has anybody been reading the latest news about Donald Trump? How this racist clown conspired to thwart the will of the people in the 2020 election? And some on here are forever beating up on the Democratic Party. I cannot believe I am reading such racist lies in the year 2022. And in a Black discussion forum. Yeah, White racists who were Democrats in the 19th Century birthed the Ku Klux Klan and did many horrible things. In fact, White racists were known as Dixiecrats right up until the time of LBJ. The major parties switched racial ideologies during the late 1960's and early 1970's. I thought most Black people knew this. If Nels is indeed Black, pray for this individual who appears full of self-hate. I had only one issue with Maxine Waters. Her urging to harass political opponents while they are out in public. I thought her view was criminal, illogical and dangerous and still believe so. Black people are outnumbered in the U.S. And many of our White detractors own guns and it's no secret that those who endorse the hatred of many Republicans hope and pray they get to use them against us. Nel's vituperative diatribe against Black people also includes this insulting lie: That Black people VOLUNTARILY rely on government assistance to survive. As if Orthodox and Russian Jews do not. As if Chinese immigrants in New York City do not. In Brooklyn, N.Y., the Chinese community offered year round classes for their people to teach them how to receive Social Service money. Russian Jews became wealthy by taking advantage of welfare payouts while running businesses behind the scenes. There are entire Orthodox Jewish towns in Orange County, N.Y., such as Kiryas Joel, where nearly 90% of the residents receive welfare. Go talk to Black residents of these areas and you will discover that I am telling the truth. Does Nels not understand there is no longer a lifetime reliance on social service assistance in many states? That many on welfare have to work? That many are forced to undergo drug testing? Not so for members of "favored" groups. They get to do what they want, including secretly owning companies, hiding outside income, using their homes and other properties and declaring these sites of religious teaching? This means they don't have to pay taxes. Yet, Nels wants to attack Black people? Is this person a plant? An undercover racial terrorist? It is individuals such as Nels and those who like their comments who are dooming Black people. Because they are not helping at all. But they are hurting us. Not all Blacks are criminals. Not all Blacks are uneducated. It is a sin that some Blacks advance a bit, then seek to slam the door on others desperately trying to better themselves. Such folks are cowards, totally afraid to face new competition and talent. Isn't that why Whites kept Blacks out of professional sports leagues for so long? They were terrified Blacks were better. And many of us were. https://forward.com/opinion/382944/lakewood-welfare-fraudsters-prove-jews-are-on-the-white-side-of-law/

you know after reading this i was thinking about excerpting the exchange between Mzuri and Cynique and sharing it in a newsletter. It may not get more to post but it will definitely get people to read, which is useful to. while they definitely disagree they, i think they enjoyed the exchange themselves. They traded really good barbs the one below was a goodie 🙂 Of course when Cynique is on a roll she has few peers. like a good fight the attendees witness a exchange of ideas get some entertainment. And the combatants get to hone their skills and and live to fight another day 🙂

I don't believe rolling America back to the 1950s will lead to advancement for AfroAmericans. Getting rid of Mitch would be good but replacing him with a younger version of himself isn't progress either. 😎

I hope so. Trump is what this country needs most. Maybe he will act more aggressively. Clean house and implement policy that protect Americans and their Advancement. Getting rid of Mitch will be a good indication of his determination.

Racism: "Racism is the belief that groups of humans possess different behavioral traits corresponding to inherited attributes and can be divided based on the superiority of one race over another. It may also mean prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against other people because they are of a different race or ethnicity." Like everyone else, I know what racism means. You're not educating anyone here. Save it. https://www.askdifference.com/racism-vs-discrimination/ "Racism is the belief that groups of humans possess different behavioral traits corresponding to physical appearance and can be divided based on the superiority of one race over another. It may also mean prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against other people because they are of a different race or ethnicity." Splitting hairs will not help you.

After seeing what the Democrats were doing to America(ns) election after election after election, I bolted from the party decades ago and never looked back, watching a fatigued and suffering black America (- that wouldn't listen, succumb to the Democrat's gaslighting -), in the rear view mirror. As a former election official in (then) a major metropolitan area, I can tell you with 100% certainty that Bernie supporters didn't put Trump over the top. Trump won outright. "Red states preparing their own voter suppression laws" | No - voter and election integrity efforts and laws are not voter suppression. Until black America wakes up and realizes that it has been taken to the cleaners since the creation of the Ku Klux Klan-founding Democrat party, it will continue to suffer through the misery of being marginalized and taken for granted as nothing more than minstrelized suckers chasing a wrinkled $100 bill in the wind across a busy highway, while blindfolded.

An opinion with a modicum of humor is what I try to bring to the topics on this forum. NFL football is my guilty pleasure on TV. 😁 😎

I actually DO care about what people say. Some folks on here make some incredibly valid points. And some of them alert others to events and issues they may be unaware of. Yeah, we all have opinions and viewpoints. But that does not mean we should malign each other or engage in feuds. I am Democrat and have been since the days of Gerald Ford. I am not a Bernie fan and view him solely as a chief divider of those on the Left. (Not to mention a really grumpy loser). Maybe what is missing is a true humor column that bears some connection to current events. Because honestly, that's all I'm interested in. Oh, and NFL football. That's still on free TV.

Are we running out of fingers to count on? As fake president Joe Biden frequently says. 'c'mon' ya'll, let's lighten things up a bit! In all honesty, nobody gives a crap about what people say; but, they really care about what people actually do. In the end, comments are just social noise; it's the real bullets that you have to watch out for.

Actually I was born in NJ and I work in NY. The statue didn’t offend. It actually captured the essence that Roosevelt just wasn’t a white figure. It’s because out society has advanced so much that people are easy to be offended and not realize how bad conditions were at the time Roosevelt lived. The questions could be. “Why was the Black man and Red man included?” “What message was the sculptor trying to portray?” I concur. Which makes people parrot Sidney Poiter was the first Black America to win an Oscar, when it was Hattie McDaniels for her role in Gone With The Wind.

************************************************************************************ Of course Black people can be racist! You have Blacks who profess that we are the superior race. There are Blacks who hate people of other races. So why don't Blacks have the ABILITY to be racist? Do you mean that Blacks don't have the ability to implement institutional racism against whites? As to whether slavery would not have happened if Africans had known in advance what was up, who knows what people were thinking about back then. We don't know whether those Africans ever saw a white person before or if they had any reason to be suspicious of their intentions. Slavery has been happening since the beginning of time and it is still going on RIGHT NOW, some of it transpiring with people of the same race enslaving each other. ************************************************************************************

Who cares? Ignore the race crutch. "Teaching your children about racism, how its practiced will ensure they wont marry white people". This statement reeks of pure lunacy.

************************************************************************************ @Cynique I'm just a regular participant, unlike you, a moderator that deletes people's comments. Are you still getting your fake news from CNN? If so, you are a rarity since they have lost much of their viewership lately. CNN'S RATINGS ARE IN THE TOILET Poor old crusty Dummycrat still suffering from a severe case of Trump derangement syndrome. Perhaps you should try drinking some Constant Comment for that, I heard it soothes the troubled mind. You might try sweetening that cup of tea with a little bit of honey, since your sour personality seems in desperate need of something ambrosial. BTW, I'm glad you posted, now I can stop worrying whether your battle-ax behind has succumbed. ************************************************************************************
