  1. Look who popped up across my Youtube screen yesterday...... At first I thought it was some brother running for Mayor or a member of Biden's Administration until I looked closer at the name. Troy you're looking kind of professional up in this video. Looking like you know what you're talking about...lol. I wonder does the Wall Street Journal know you like WE know you....LOL.
  2. It remains to be seen what Rep. Jeffries will do when he gets behind the wheel. My gut feeling from hearing him speak is that Rep. Jeffries will be busy towing the party line and working on behalf of all Americans. Rep. Jeffries won't have time to focus on Black issues especially considering there's no agenda (reparations). Often times, Black folks think politicians can solve their problems. That's not what they do. Politicians manage government resources and they come up laws and legislation to make life easier for citizens. Black folks need to put something on the table. 😎
  3. ProfD The day n8gglets clean up and act right, the beneficiaries and stakeholders of white supremacy would lose their minds. Jaywalking, littering and smiling would become criminal offenses for AfroAmericans. And speaking of Jaywalking. I knew California wasn't shit for Black folks when I almost got a ticket by a cop for "Jaywalking" down in San Diego! I was on a residential street and happened to just walk across the street in the middle of the block like millions of people do all across America every day. This cop stops me and tells me I need to cross at the cross walk at the intersection of the block instead of the middle. WTF???? That's was my FIRST wake-up call to how racist and police heavy California was against AfroAmericans. I HEARD of ther term "Jay walking" since being a kid, but never heard of anyone getting in trouble for it....UNTIL going to Cali. Chev THAT would be a tall order, seeing as how, that is another form of White infiltration, imo. This system has poisoned the minds of Black people and now, it would be difficult to separate from negative elements within our cultures and within ourselves as well and adopt a positive mindset that would enhance our presence as a unique culture. Over the decades, imo, Black people have signed on to just about everything that used to be 'a white format'. I would love to hear some statements about positive aspects that has made us a unique people, you know, revisit some positivities. That's why it's so important to not only establish but as ProfD often talks about CODIFY your culture! When we CODIFY our culture, then no one can infiltrate it and change it or contaminate it with garbage and immorality to derail it or cause instability because we'd immediately spot the difference. Just like many other cultures have the SAME marriage customs, SAME language, SAME diets, SAME dances, and SAME songs for centuries....so you won't modify or infiltrate them. Black American culture changes every 10 or 15 years or so because it's not CODIFIED. So people can introduce disrespect for elders, disrespect for parents, drug abuse, homosexuality, and a host of other dysfunctions into the culture since we don't have an actual CODE to prevent it from being accepted. On top of it being easily influenced from the outside.....other people can easily STEAL aspects of our culture and claim it as their own because we didn't codify it and stamp it as authentically OURS. We need to CODIFY our culture and protect it.
  4. Chev Yes, this statement about their form of Colorism is printed! It is written often that the darker skin Beja and mountain people are ignored in favor of the ligher skinned ones. Yeah I was trying to remember the name of those tribes living in the more remote areas of Ethiopia. Another is the Omo Valley people who are not like the more Asiatic Amharic people with the lighter skin and straighter hair. And they are heavily discriminated against because of their darker skin. They are the original inhabitants of that region before the lighter ones came. Omo Valley Ethiopians Typical Ethiopians Anyway, from a Biblical perspective, those Ethiopian Jews know better! They know what is required of them and until that do so, they will be called on it. Well..... 🤫 Shhhhhh....but I'll let you in on a little secret: As much as I preach today that the Israelites were most likely White/Caucasian people who invaded Canaan....I USED TO believe....and still hold the possiblity...that the lighter ones were the actual Children of Israel who came down in that region through Egypt after the invasion of the Babylonians back around 700 B.C.. I'm not sure which belief is the actual truth. Those Ethiopians maybe need to check themselves on bonding with their relatives maybe, I don't know, but then, that is a problem over hear in America with the indigenous peoples too. Oh, you think those somewhat distorted features may be a result of incestuous relationships???
