  1. Along similar lines, the GOP is using ignorant azz, mumble mouthed Herschel as an opponent to a seemingly more intelligent black man. It just goes to show what *they* of us when it comes to intellect. There's no shortage of Herschel Walker, Vernon Jones and Larry Elders willing to play the fool or tool. 😎
  2. A black Karen would be running around in the Hamptons claiming she felt threatened by a white man riding around in a Porsche and licking his lips. 😎
  3. White women may not appear to be violent but they are killers. From poisoning and putting hits out on their husbands for insurance money to murdering their children and claiming to be crazy...white women can be evil. Not too many non-white women would give their husband a cup of antifreeze before bedtime pretending it's Theraflu. 😎
  4. Greg This is yet another wonderful illustration of your GROSS ignorance! 1. The United States NEEDS crime and criminals to operate because they need to constantly fill the private prisons and jails that are increasing being used as sources for cheap labor this society thrives off of. 2. The United State IS ALREADY bringing in your beloved Central and South Americans by the millions. What you don't understand and probably don't even realize is that the HIGHER UP racists who are giving you your marching orders actually SUPPORT mass illegal immigration in the United States because it not only supplies the rich White business owners with a constant source of cheap labor but because they aren't legal citizens....THEY HAVE NO RIGHTS. So they are far less likely to complain about their working conditions or demand benefits like regular American workers.
  5. Gotd8mn. Hammer time. You didn't have to do that sir. 🤣😎
  6. There's no incentive for white folks to end racism. That's like being on a winning team and asking them to lose or forfeit games on purpose so the opponent feels better. 😎
  7. Oh, you're doing video games now???? Don't always agree with your politics.....infact I RARELY agree with your politics....but I'm glad to see you're pushing your own video games. You're a "go getter".....lol....I'll give that to you.
  8. Chev Yeah, I've heard this for years. That immigrants are shown films and given classes on how to conduct themselves safely and successfully in American society. I sure wish they would have shown US some films and gave US who were born and raised here some classes on how to do so....lol. Seems like if you're a citizen born and raised in the U.S.....you gotta figure it out on your own.
  9. Chev When I used to go to Canada, I knew a LOT of people who were afraid to the U.S. because they were afraid they might get shot by a stray bulllet or from being in the "wrong" neighborhood. They were genuinely frightened of the United States. The violence was the number one reason they didn't want to come to the U.S. The number two reason was the lack of free healthcare. Canada has free healthcare. They thought that if they came to the U.S. and got sick or hurt they wouldn't be able to pay for care.
  10. Clearly there is a lack of understanding or a disconnect in the definition of a Karen. 😎
  11. Sadly Twin, you’re right. Folks are letting Fox media do their thinking.
  12. White folks who appear to be going against the grain as it relates to white supremacy are suspects. The question should be asked, what's motivating that guy to spill the beans with regard to white folks instigating black on black crime. I'll go with dog-whistling for $200. 😎
  13. Scientists usually create deadly diseases and the antidote (cure) for it at the same time. 😎
  14. Disagree. It would be asinine to re-elect a narcissistic clown who instigated a whole riot. Personally, I have no desire to live in an autocracy or worse being run by a bat sh8t crazy old man. Economically, the ship that is America can get back on track if/when it stops catering to special interests which only enriches a handful of people.😎
  15. That statement could swing both ways like barn doors. Neither party seems to be doing much about high gas prices, inflation and supply chain shortages.😎
  16. Hieroglyphs was a formal writing system created by the ancient Egyptians (northeastern Africans) over 4,000 years ago. It is the basis for every other writing system (Greek, Arabic, Latin, etc.). 😎
  17. @Pioneer1 You know that’s right! I would be a “Shirley Chisolm” candidate who fights for freedom. I’d also work to make folks get the “eff out of Black people’s way. Do you know how far we would be if the powers that be would stop putting up literal and figurative roadblocks to prevent our progress. Also, from where I sit, it doesn’t seem like people want to be “free.” Many people want to be “led” or need a “leader. I’m not a leader - I’m an organizer. But thanks to Stacey Abrams I see that can work too. Having said all that - the true power in politics is what you and I do -actually what we all do here support and work with movements that we believe in like helping @Troy with #readingblack.com This is where real policy is born.
  18. @Pioneer1, I torture myself by watching those political conventions on both sides of the aisle. I could only shake my head when I saw and heard Herschel Walker sounding like a an ex-slave or punch drunk boxer: Reminded me of this scene from Harlem Nights.🤣😎
