  1. @KENNETH Abortion has always been a luke warm issue in the black community because an unplanned pregnancy that results in bringing a baby into an unstable environment is something that dates back to slavery days, and is an experience imprinted on the black psyche, which instinctively adjusts to adverse situations. So having a baby is something many black females just take in their stride... Society doesn't seem to care about this. Nor is there any concern emanating from the conservative ranks of latter day slave masters masquerading as pro-lifers about the plight of such children. There is, however, a tendency among certain blacks to be lax in critical thinking when it comes to this issue. The situation isn't exclusively about abortion; it's about control. Those with the authority to make a woman have a baby, can also force her to not have a baby. The only person who has the right to exercise control over a woman's body is the woman, herself! Black people should be very leery about laws that intrude on an individual's personal choices. These insidious bans can be a gateway to enforcing other restrictions.
  2. I wish the 'right-to-lifers" would be willing to exert the same energy and passion to preserving the lives of those who have actually been born. Support for quality universal health care would be a good start. To answer your question directly, anything that is bad for American people in general is almost always worse for Black people in particular. That said, this decision transcends race. It effects everyone.
  3. That was my attempt at censorship and keeping porn bots off the site.🤣😎
  4. 🤣🤣🤣 I remember! I was his hype woman! I even moderate the “He-man-Am*zon-haters” club aka #readingblack.com! But datsok! lol
  5. Not sure what you mean by “hood” talk. I have no need for “sheets” to hide my identity. - “but you do you, boo”. <- Now, In case you’re wondering about that phrase, it is called a “colloquialism”
  6. Government work used to be an option now it's prison, the military or some other quasi plantation that pays less than market rates, for people that get less than market rates.
  7. Excellent observation. I guess AALBC is doing something right; it is deemed significant enough to be a target of racist trolls.
  8. Depends on the state in which one lives and how that state chooses to deal with it. Thirteen (13) states have trigger laws that went into effect as soon as the SCOTUS decision came down. It will be interesting to see how America plans to raise and take care of these children especially if the biological parents have no desire to do it. 😎
  9. 100% I wonder what is his laundry bill.
  10. This is Rightwing Antisemitism plain and simple. But people on the Right complain about the Left and wokeness. Nonsense. Black people are not pawns lacking agency. We have fought racism and economic exploitation long before there was an American Left or reformist Liberalism. What is Conservatism doing for us ? Nothing. Black Conservatives are helping themselves not us in any collective sense. I won't be " drinking any of that. Kool Aid."
  11. It should. Bodily Autonomy is guaranteed in the 14th amendment of the U.S. Constitution. SCOTUS, in a majority decision, says it’s a states’ right to make laws against someone’s body. Today it’s a woman’s body. So, the question remains who’s next. This was the final step before full-blow fascism. Now we’re here.
  12. Nope. Twin, I peeped “Greg’s” pink card when he made his first post 😂😂😂
  13. @TroyWell, for somebody who described a shoe that fit me, when you chided us Republican Party haters for unjustly accusing this MAGA Mecca as being racist, I always raised an eyebrow over your intense hate for am*zon for it being a monopoly in a capitalistic country. So now you have reluctantly had a slight change of heart. OK. We are all entitled to like or hate whomever we choose.
  14. What's with the C spot thing? The clitoris isn't a "spot", it's an organ that reacts to titillation. The G spot is where you detonate the really BIG BANG . It's a reclusive area located elsewhere in the genital folds, just waiting for the master touch. Men have the nerve to make women the object of sexual ridicule. But the laugh's on them.
  15. Oh dang I missed it! @Stefan @ProfD please feel free to hijack the thread.. I tend to bring it back by incorporating the new thoughts and concepts into the main thesis .
  16. Nah. But Katt hilariously handles your concern about that whole situation especially if the female's c-spot is big enough to make you question your manhood. 🤣😎
  17. Wait, what/ Are you saying the good white people of America committed crimes, in a well organized fashion no less? Do you think @Greg's head will explode with this revelation?
  18. White folks worldwide including places with a less than 1% black population protested against the murder of George Floyd. Regardless of those white folks' reason for joining the protests, it was a great display of humanity in the wake of a tragedy. 😎
  19. Greg Yeah, they are not out looking for revenge. Maybe they subconsciously felt that the acts on the part of those Black people were JUSTIFIED in some way and didn't require revenge. Ever heard of "White guilt"???
  20. See, that's just it. These folks can either find the *illegal* funds and/or plant them in order to bring someone down. They are dirty. That's why I type we cannot do what they do. Also, that's what I respected and admired about POTUS Barack Obama. Not only was he intelligent and smart enough to detail his life in his books. They could not find a dirty pair of underwear while rummaging through his laundry. That dude was squeaky clean. Brotha Gillum clearly didn't get the memo. The crazy part is that he was a rising star while at Florida A&M University. Congressional Black Caucus named him an emerging leader. I don't know how it went off the rails to him passing out on a yacht with the family jewels hanging out. 🤣😎
