  1. Still, Black folks have no right to leave you stuck with that bill.🤣😎
  2. OK. i'm not an avid fan of Astrology. but since everybody else ifs going off on tangents creating their own scenarios, i will refer to the red comet in Game of Thrones, another great book of fiction! Damned if it didn't portend disaster. Those Night Walker were something else! 😳
  3. @ProfDYou never know, - if reparations are not forthcoming. 😄 @DelanoThat's an "explanation". But it is comforting to know, that all we need do to this omen is to look away and it will "disintegrate". Keep your eye on the sky!
  4. I understand from a paternalistic perspective but only if it comes from a position of love for our people. Often times, I'll mention that I call balls and strikes. That applies to AfroAmericans as well. I believe I'm balanced in being able to see the best and worst among our people. But, I love these mf'ers unconditionally and unapologetically.🤣 The negative elements among AfroAmericans are very real. The media over which we have very little control exploits it at every turn. However, there is plenty positive among AfroAmericans too. Individual and collective achievements are everywhere. You just have to look harder in order to see it. If the focus is on n8gglets, that's all you will see. There is a forest behind the trees. As a result, I will always push back on any notion or belief that AfroAmericans are less intelligent or more dysfunctional than any other group of people. It's simply not true. Your criticism of AfroAmericans could be construed as self-hate especially if it is non-constructive and/or devoid of context. However, reading that you love being a Black man/brotha gave me a slight sigh of relief. I was hoping there would be no reason for a Drop Squad intervention on your azz.🤣😎
  5. The word Wizard and Wise are related. So the Three Wise Men were Three Wizards. Magi is the plural for Magus which mean Magician. The Only people who knew who Jesus was were Three Magicians\Astrologers. https://www.etymonline.com/word/wizard wizard (n.) early 15c., "philosopher, sage," from Middle English wys "wise" (see wise (adj.)) + -ard. Compare Lithuanian žynystė "magic," žynys "sorcerer," žynė "witch," all from žinoti "to know." The ground sense is perhaps "to know the future." The meaning "one with magical power, one proficient in the occult sciences" did not emerge distinctly until c. 1550, the distinction between philosophy and magic being blurred in the Middle Ages. magi (n.) c. 1200, "skilled magicians, astrologers," from Latin magi, plural of magus "magician, learned magician," from Greek magos, a word used for the Persian learned and priestly class as portrayed in the Bible (said by ancient historians to have been originally the name of a Median tribe), from Old Persian magush "magician" (see magic). Also, in Christian history, the "wise men" who, according to Matthew, came from the east to Jerusalem to do homage to the newborn Christ (late 14c.). Related: Magian. In the Garden there were two tree one was Life the other was Knowledge. Astrology may be the Tree of Knowledge. Since the Kabbalah is called the Tree of Knowledge. This is not true in quantum physics. The observation of an event changed the outcome. So in this area there is no objective reality. https://plus.maths.org/content/physics-minute-double-slit-experiment-0 One of the most famous experiments in physics is the double slit experiment. It demonstrates, with unparalleled strangeness, that little particles of matter have something of a wave about them, and suggests that the very act of observing a particle has a dramatic effect on its behaviour.
  6. Well as far as I'm concerned, referring to the Bible to debunk Astrology is ludicrous. Nothing is more rife with signs and prophecies than the source of the myth associated with the Star of Bethlehem, - the book of fables written hundreds of years ago by manipulative, power hungry men, translated by drunk monks, and given a make-over by white western civilization. As for science, its observations and explanations are at least objective. Actually, when it comes to what lies ahead for America, Astrology is just taking credit for what is obvious. You really don't need a streaking green comet to foresee disaster for a country where both a present and former president are under investigation by the DOJ, their respective parties mired in the muck of vindictiveness and at odds over which direction the nation should take as inflation looms on the horizon. I just hope I don't get stuck with child support after divorcing the black race. 😜
