  1. @Stefan, I would contend that a troll cannot destroy a forum that has well-informed and intelligent folks capable of articulating and defending their position on topics. Trolls or folks incapable of logical thoughts and/or holding a conversation won't stick around for too long. While it would be easier to let a troll thread fall off the main page, we can also use them for target practice. 😁 Here is a *paper trail* of consistency in calling out ignorance and providing truth, facts and reasonable thought. From a positive perspective...our written words is proof that we can and do communicate effectively.😎
  2. Women and Blacks were the property of white men. We may be going back to the future.
  3. How many times have I warned that a troll's real aim is to destroy a forum's honest and informative dialogue? Unless this is what most secretly want.
  4. It would be hilarious if folks are looking for aliens to come from outer space when they are either already living among us or underground or underwater or in ice.😁 IMO, space exploration isn't about looking for life elsewhere. They are building a place for a select group of people to live as an alternative to Earth.😎
  5. Admission...the most uncomfortable thing to me as an AfroAmerican is when it's so d8mn hot outside, I start sweating as soon as I step outta the shower. 🤣😎
  6. NIGGA IZ YOU SERIOUS?????????? Lol...NOW you're worried about offending us????
  7. @GregFor somebody who is always yakking about using proper English, you could benefit from doing so yourself. Your sentence that says: "All of our issues in our Black community is self inflicted and has nothing to do with hardworking Asians, Whites, of Hispanics "etc. should say: "All of our issues in our black community are self inflicted and have nothing to with Asians, whites, or Hispanics etc... Sheeze! In fact, you are a light weight in other areas when it comes to assessing what you mis-label as the "black community". You are incapable of looking at the big picture, or peering past your nose. No deep thinker, you lack the capacity to comprehend that the pendulum of humanity's clock has been wound up and is now on the swing from back to forth. Other ethnicities inspiring your dismay at being victimized by black thugs are collateral damage representing what happens when payback rears its ugly head and justice disappears. Like now. What's being demonstrated as the black aberrations descended from slaves avenge what normal whites did to those slaves long ago. The outcome? Shit happens. If you weren't so busy carping about proper English and unwed pregnancies, and lack of ambition you'd have time to develop some intellectual muscle instead of being stuck on stupid. You could benefit from a little profound cogitation, maybe become enlightened about how CIVILIZATION unfolds, doing what it does, rising and falling, progressing and stumbling, moving on, lurching ahead, time bringing change that reverts back to sameness. In the scheme of things what is now being perpetrated by black criminals is out of control and cannot be fixed. It will have to sort itself out with what will undoubtedly be tragic results. Self Genocide. Martial Law. Race War. That's life. Or will the ghetto culture and mindset that so offends you change over night or even at all. A collective consciousness is deeply entrenched and preserved by an environment that society perpetuates because it needs scapegoats and others to blame for why things are the way they are. You cannot conceive of the idea that your world vision blurs in the face of reality and you are wasting your time and that of those who you harass with your demands. So, as far as the "Greg Project" goes, all of your bitching and lecturing is just drivel. You serve no purpose except to the white puppet masters who pull your strings. Attempting to be the paternalistic arbitrator of what the black community needs to do to be worthy of white approval is an exercise in futility because you are neither a super hero nor a role model. - just a naggin wanna-be. Stefan thinks it's not a good idea to engage with trolls, but you provide me with a way to amuse myself. Ha-Ha.
  8. In 2018, the Federal Bureau of Investigation reported that 81% of white victims were killed by white offenders, and 89% of Black victims were killed by Black offenders. #ThoughtsandPrayers
  9. Mel When I speak of our instability....I'm talking about our political instability and what we're willing to fight for, not necessarily the GENERAL instability in our community. However that said.... White people caused MUCH of the instability of our community but not all of it, and probably not even most of it. Our people have a long history of infighting and jealousy among eahcother that goes back centuries even before the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade. Our INTERNAL instability and being so divided over petty differences is what allowed Caucasians to take advantage of us in the first place and is STILL the primary source of their power. The Flint Water Crisis that you brought up is a perfect example.... Flint is a majority Black city with a majority Black city council and a Black mayor. So why did they ALLOW White folks to come in and poison their water without physically stopping them from doing so? Infact, given the history of Caucasians in general....why didn't they AUTOMATICALLY suspect them of being up to no good before it got this far? Black people don't have a history of poisoning the water in White communities....yet in most White communities a Black man can go strolling down the street without being noticed and suspected of not belonging there and being up to no good! Back in 2016 when it jumped off me and some other people went up to Flint and found out that a few years earlier they had even re-arranged the pipes underground so that the water would affect only certain neighborhoods. YES I blame the racists for this....but I blame that Black people of the city even MORE because they aren't a bunch of squirrels, they could have seen what was going on and put an end to it if they WANTED to. When I was doing community work for the homeless....it was the White people (whether they were sincere or not I don't know) who were more willing to fight and challenge the city and county than the majority of the Black people who were homeless themselves! "We" as a community aren't getting up and fighting....a SMALL PERCENTAGE of our people have and that's what got us our rights. Most of our people AREN'T fighting but are either selling out or DESIRE to sell out but don't know where to start...lol. It's a SMALL PERCENTAGE of intelligent and brave Black people who are carrying the load for the rest of the community who benefits from their labor. And the small percentage of Black people who are willing to stand up and fight and challenge the system has gotten smaller and smaller over the past few decades and has brought us to where we are right now.
  10. Stefan When this incident first hit the news, I honestly believed Derek Chauvin killed George Floyd out of personal animosity. Because few humans would kneel on someone's neck for that long while ignoring pleas from the victim and outrage from onlookers. It had to be personal. Yeah, they knew eachother. Or atleast Derek knew George even if George didn't remember him. Another sign that it was personal was the way Derek constantly looked down and looked him in the eyes while he was choking him. Chauvin was known to approach females who wanted nothing to do with him and harass them. Apparently, Floyd would do his best to defend these females. See, I didn't know that part! I knew they worked at a night club together but this is the first time I heard that.
  11. Stefan Actually what you said about Black people calling on an alien race to come down and save us isn't very far fetched. Infact, I believe that is one of the White Establishment's greatest fears. Which is why they are constantly scanning the horizon and worried about UFOs and other alien contacts. They don't want some alient race with much more powerful technology than they have to hook up with us and help us out. You can CALL on "Jesus" all you want. But if "Jesus" or anybody else strong enough to overturn this system actually ANSWERS that call and comes flying down from out of space.....they know it's curtains.
