  2. There has been a war against Black Americans Families from the very beginning of the founding of the nation. The diabolic truth is that Black Lives have been devalued as and replaced with false concepts and notions. The current debate of country pits Black women against Black babies. It’s the culmination of decades of White women grievances being injected into the Black woman psyche. Black women are the natural rivals of White women who have always looked down on them and as a threat. Babies are not a mechanism to enslave Black women. Black babies are the future and legacy of Black people. We must stand up against frivolous abortion and reserve that procedure to cases of absolute emergencies where the death by medical complications could kill the mother. Let’s restore sanity to the Black family starting with the Black Babies.

    To continue to enrich those that benefit from the system. @daniellegfny i remember Dominque 🙂 interestingly i drew inspiration from the best gymnasts regardless of there so called race. They could be Russian or Japanese it did not really matter i had a poster of Japanese dude on my wall for years as a teenager. This was before Americans were very competitive before Kurt Thomas and them… there was a brother from the Bronx Mario Mecuteon (sp?) he would have been an Olympian but Carter boycotted that one — a great gymnast i have no idea what happened to him after that…
  4. Sadly for your Republican anti-FBI agenda, in fact the agency's activities of late have all been involved with legitimate criminal investigations. such as that which resulted in the raid of Mar-a-Lago. That means, by the way, from sea to lake. It would seem that betwixt this particular sea and lake there lies a foetid swamp. Anywaaaay... I can remember when the FBI was indeed involved in serious malfeasance against citizens, and I refer to COINTELPRO by which they committed assorted murders and subversion against organizations such as the Black Panther Party, the American Indian Movement, Akwesasne Notes. Vietnam Veterans Against the War, and others. Sadly no Republicans even objected to that activity, despite the very clear indications of a link of COINTELPRO to those who killed Malcolm X, Fred Hampton and others. Leonard Peltier is still in prison. Did Geronimo Pratt finally get out? I've not kept up. So much legal bs was used against the Left in those days, that it is almost comical now to hear Republicans whining about the FBI. There is nothing essentially wrong with the FBI, if you like super-cops. which is what they are. I like them for their skill, their science, and the job they do in taking down legitimate threats to our peace and safety. Like any entity, they can go astray, and there are bad apples. Same as with cops generally, with teachers, with politicians, with anyone. And really can we take Zuckerberg seriously at all, given his extensive Russian complicity?
  5. The way to do that is undo all the Reaganomics efforts which made it so much more difficult economically for young black women, and omg whites too and everyone else, to have a child and not be facing a life of poverty. In the demosocialist nations all of this is in place and the impetus to abort is lowered. Also, improve our nation's birth control access and education about it, and the rate of unwanted pregnancies will plummet. At one point Hillary Clinton and Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) were attempting to discuss how to reduce abortions without messing with Roe v. Wade. Naturally virtually no other Republicans would cooperate, and most Democrats still couldn't get past the simple politics of fighting to keep abortion unrestricted. Both Parties would get what they want if they'd work to eliminate abortions by eradicating the root causes. OMG that's too much social science for the Republican mind, but it's valid. If a pregnant young woman had childcare available and affordable, decent transportation, generally an infrastructure which supports and enables her, as they have in the superior demosocialist nations, then we would have far fewer abortions. I can't deny that white racists would love to see all black babies killed. Ironically most of them pretend to be "pro-life". But the solution of the problem of unwanted pregnancies is not to ban abortion, whether we're looking at black, white or "other" women. It is, as I said, 1) make contraception eminently available and knowledge about it common; and 2) create an economic environment which doesn't make the arrival of a child a socioeconomic life sentence for the woman. Yeah, work on the families, too. If you think the problem of fathers not in the home with the children is a black thing, I'll take you on a tour of my home state of WV, and you can see all the "whites" in the precisely same situation.
  6. Let me guess....Republican Bureau of Investigation (RBI). The RBI would be a petty azz agency and bring back COINTELPRO ultimately setting Black folks back 100 years. 🤣😎
  7. @daniellegfny So true. I agree very much however, how can a baby thrive if the mother does not want to give birth and is then forced to do so? I know of a Black American who told me that his mother told him that, although she submitted to the man in marriage, however she conceived him in an abusive situation and therefore did not want to have him. She then tried to give him away after birth but could not find any takers, so he lived a terrible neglected, abandoned and abusive life.
  8. A couple of hundred years ago there was a race for America.
  9. You speak truth, certainly. I think my reaction to that guy was basically "oh good, he's not white". If he'd been Arab or Hispanic I'd have had the same reaction. But yeah there is a lot of subliminal racism and attitudes we all harbor of which we're not even aware. We've been bombarded with this crap all our lives. It makes black people doubt themselves, it makes whites fearful and crazy, and so on... We can only keep on striving for sanity and liberation!
  10. Quite a few ancient civilisations had calendars based on the movement of the Sun Moon and few stars. The Moon counts of weeks and month(moonth), The Sun was used for the saesons. Like the flooding of the Nile
  11. 🥴 -Glad to be a catalyst for "Black Unity" in this thread. Apparently I've brought everybody together in agreement.
  12. What do you want and do you want to achieve in a dialogue? You also have to account for the characteristics of both the querent and the respondent. I require mutual respect and reasonable rules of engagement. I am no longer interested in convincing anyone. What are the intentions in your conversation? Unless some one admits they are being condescending I stop talking to them.
  13. @Chevdove you r response to @Pioneer1 was prodigious in terms of detail and patience. You obviously care about the quality the dialogue you have with pioneer, because your response showed effort and thought. I don’t know if pioneer ever accepted our corrections on the word generation… there is an old saying, “words don’t have meaning people do.” Sometimes, usually i suspect, once a person demonstrates that they reject the definition of a word or distorts it to make a point it is time to move on 😉
  14. All dysfunction in America is a byproduct of the system of racism white supremacy and refusal to atone for its original sin...slavery. "Ignorant" White people perpetuate hatred of Black folks and pass it down from one generation to the next. Well meaning White folks aren't gung ho about giving up their white privilege and preserve their inheritance from one generation to the next. in the meantime, Black folks spend their lives trying to thrive and survive within the prison of racism white supremacy. Stockholm Syndrome has definitely been in effect for many Black folks over several generations. White folks have given some just enough to earn their trust, sympathy and support. Prisoners of war do whatever it takes to survive. But, most of them do not try to escape. 😎
