Here's another NFT millionaire: 12-year-old Benyamin Ahmed who made $1 million creating NFTs

She is a celebrity, so those who cover celebrities in the popular news media want to report on this. Many people eat this stuff up and exhibit strong feelings about it. I am not going to criticize Rhianna for not getting married. The world has changed and young people's attitudes towards permanence and marriage have also changed. This business is between her and her boyfriend.

If the culprits are White juveniles, we may never see their faces. Police agencies and news media in various states have differing policies when it comes to identifying juveniles by name and face. And the last time I heard a news report on one of the evening news programs about these incidents, racial animus was blamed for the deciding factor in the threats.

My feeling is that Whoopi should have kept her mouth shut. Or tendered a less than demonstrative response. I have read more than a few books on the Holocaust and there is no doubt that Heinrich Himmler and his fellow Nazis targeted Europe's Jews as a race. Just as they targeted the Roma (Gypsies), Poles, Gays, anti-Nazis, pacifists and eventually Soviet civilians. From my book readings, I've learned that about 15 million individuals perished in the Holocaust, six million Jews and likely nine million others. I have also seen a few movies as well. However, I remain more interested in films that depict the history of Blacks, which for the most part has been hidden, discarded or trashed. What is becoming so hilarious to me is this assumption on the part of many that I am wedded to CNN. I refused to accept single source news stories from my staff. And I don't accept just one network's news reports either. In fact, I gave up watching cable news. CNN was never the end-all for me. It just came to the fore during the 1990-91 Gulf War. I prefer reading. Because I was always a writer and a business college adjunct. Portrait photography was a hobby which morphed into a small business. Now, some are curious about where her adopted name "Goldberg" came from. In the 1980's Whoopi was an aspiring stand-up comedian. And her adopted name allowed her to stand out. I think she's a terrific actress, an entertaining spokesperson and can be sage and sarcastic.

OK. i have to think about that and get back to you.

For coloring outside the lines, former VP Mike Pence, Sen. Mitt Romney and Reps Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger are going to find themselves seated at the kid's table at future GOP big tent events. 😁😎

You make an interesting or positive point, in my mind @Mzuri One I should had mentioned and didn't. thank you. ... I still don't think I have acted in any way special. I do think of richard pryor's old joke, about white people in the woods. If you walk the street with a gold watch on, well shame on you. To be blunt, NYC, like all big cities in humanity has and always will be full of financially poor people, statistically poorer than most people outside the big cities, including the small black towns , white or black or other. so, blinging around them is inviting trouble.

Cynique, This discussion group, as I feared it would, has become little more than a roiling hate fest. Ugly personal attacks, deplorable mentions about individuals physical appearance and some of the silliest statements I have seen in a long time. What does a person's physical appearance have to do with factual engagement? I guess to some, who have no other way to voice their displeasure about an individual, they mean a lot. Trump himself is fond of tearing down people he does not like by cracking on their physical appearance and demanding that they never be heard from again. Censorship. It's what motivates many Trump supporters and they love to as their hero does. Trump demeans women by insulting their physical appearance

Black on black crime is racist phrase used to paint black folks as criminals and a threat to greater society. Otherwise, every statistician knows that most crimes are committed against folks of the same race/ethnicity. 😎

Marriage was constructed for the benefit of women and children; to preserve bloodlines and to protect wealth. Of course, marriage has spiraled out of control to include love, ownership, alimony and same-sex couples. 🤣 The funniest thing is the number of times some folks marry before they get it right. 😁😎

Admittedly, I'm an old man but I don't see why this is newsworthy nor how it benefits black people. I get it that famous people do whatever it takes to maximize their 15 minutes in the spotlight. However, this type of information doesn't help us with dismantlng the system of white supremacy. 😎

I still have to list it. Mining cost are around $150. @Troy That’s the same question which is always asked. It’s precisely the answer what distinguishes the scammed from the winners and those on the sideline. Thank you. That’s good to know.
