  1. Weather permitting, good northern lights displays could be visible directly overhead in most northern communities. 3-Day Forecast (Mar 24 to Mar 26) The geomagnetic field is expected to be at unsettled to major storm levels on Mar 25 (24 Mar), active to minor storm levels on Mar 26 (25 Mar) and unsettled to minor storm levels on Mar 27 (26 Mar). The northern lights aka Aurora Borealis are really something to witness on a clear night. Much better viewing when they appear in the summer months.

    Seven Degrees of the Self Hating Negro 1. "I apologize": Typically the "Black Friend". No backbone, constantly apologizes for negro shenanigans that has nothing to do with them. 2. " I made it": "I made it and you should, too!" is their motto. Any success for them means negroes just aren't trying hard enough. 3. "My family white": Not to be confused with self hating biracials, this degree has relatives who married white and now they're embarrassed by all the things they suddenly notice is inferior about negro culture up against white culture. 4. "I hate my look": Absolutely despises all negro features and tries to actively breed it out of themselves. Will also put down any other negro with similar features. 5. "I'm bored with struggle": Tired of hearing and noticing racism, they distance themselves from negroes who never let it slide. They will take their licks to the chin like a good negro if it means they can lick between some pasty white cheeks. 6. "Let's hear them out": Totally unashamed of self deprecation, they give heed to racism because, "stereotypes exist for a reason", and gosh darn it, maybe the H-wites are right! 7. "I'm the exception": maybe the most dangerous degree because feeling absolutely above other negroes, they sometimes wonder if they truly are negro or maybe just someone white in blackface meant to spy out negroes and give the white brethren a heads up. I just wrote this before I started my day 😭 idk why I'm like this
  3. I have always loved the art of Chevelin Pierre, for years now, so even though it is march,and haitian independence is january 1st, it is being shared:)
  4. @Chevdove Pluto moved into Aquarius a few days ago. Astrologically it's a big. When it was discovered was circa the Great Depression. It was in the sign of Cancer. Its orbit is around 238 years which was around the time of the French Revolution and the American one.
  5. IMO, colorism has been ongoing for as long as human beings have been reproducing across color lines. H8ll, pale white folks throw shade at their darker, greasy looking white cousins too. 🤣😎
  6. Fam, it's easy for a racist coward or cyber-bully to show and start typing noise and nonsense. We know they wouldn't be as bold and let it happen out in them streetz unless they wanted that azz beat.😁 i definitely understand @Chevdove clapping the drunken fool up to a point. But, as brotha and sista, @Pioneer1 and @Chevdove, y'all need to hug and shake hands.🤣😎
  7. The @Cynique and @Pioneer1 comedy show has returned. You all have made my Saturday. 🤣😎
  8. @Pioneer1, refer back to the teachings of NF Jr. as it relates to religion. You've slipped off code.🤣 Back to the comets and natural disasters, I still think most of them are separate events that happen around the same time. These events both celestial and interplanetary have been ongoing since the universe was created. We just have enough technology to track it. Civilizations have been wiped out by natural disasters, diseases and plagues. Everything that happens without input from human beings is a part of the Earth's self-care maintenance program. 😎
  9. @Pioneer1 No. I don't agree that a racist attack should be ignored. Oh no. I've never wanted someone banned for simply disagreeing with me. You are putting out a false statement. That's a supremacist tactic you are using. You call it 'White men being disrespectful'!!? LOL. Like I said, You've got problems!
  10. I couldn't care less how many times you tell me. if you weren't such an idiot you could have figured out by now that what you say amounts to nothing, you sorry ass babbling wanna be. 🤣
  11. You can believe scripture or not, but to insult me on my thread, is disresptectful @Pioneer1. Your arrogant, as you said and don't like to be proven wrong. You don't want to accept that White people have completely deceived you into believing in what they have propagandized. You'd rather agree with America and a racist than say that you were wrong.
  12. Mother Nature strikes again. A tornado just ripped through Mississippi killing 19 people so far. It only lasted about 15 minutes leaving a path of destruction. 😎
  13. Bro, as you know from the teachings of NF Jr., the system of racism is the most powerful force on the planet. It provides top cover for racist individuals and suspects.😎

    That's some nice funk right there! I clicked on it thinking it would be some 1970s "Rerun type music" that sounds stereotypical but bland. This brutha can get down pretty good though.
  15. How so How do you know? Most Racist do not know they are being Racist. Thanks Do not understand please explain further? True we all should get paid for our work...agreed. That privilege of getting access to work and a well paying Job is a true blessing If You are real and genuine then you are in for an education If not then the Kool Aid really just taste good...Keep drinking So True
  16. @ProfD Where are you getting your info about older women? From anecdotal old wives tales? Certainly not from Gynecologists. Unlike pioneer, you don't usually make "off-the-top-of-your-head" claims. First of all, how age affects their sex lives differs from woman to woman. Not all females age the same. Their genes and metabolism and hormones and health have a big impact on their libido. And for those so inclined, there are over the counter preparations available to rejuvenate their sex appeal and facilitate intimate contact. Age really is just a number. As rich as Cher is, she could afford the plastic surgery that would make her as good as new "down there". Plus, this isn't the first boy toy she has had. So don't cast her as a "has-been". I find it typical that men can speak with such authority about something they have never tried. They shouldn't be so quick to judge and ridicule and underestimate the ability of an older woman to turn a young guy on. They'd do well to keep in mind that females can look up much longer than males can look down. Sex is no longer an activity I have any interest in because - men tend to get on my nerves, not because i'm "incapacitated". Believe it or not. I'm trying to fall in love with Jesus but he's playin hard to get. Woe is me. @Chevdove Right!

    Obesity is rampant in our community due to Environmental Racism....Food Apartheid - Food Desert/Insecurity. Primary cause of Obesity is the consumption of food products with no Nutritional value, Enzymes or Fiber. I am not giving advice as I am not in any way qualified to do so....the following is for entertainment only. 1st is how much you eat 2nd is what you eat. 3rd is when you eat 4th is how much physical activity. Practice Fasting and try to not consume anything for 8 hrs at a time Try to consume mostly organic minimally process foods....the closer to nature the better - Juicing and smoothies are great largest meal in the morning and smallest meal before bed....take digestive enzymes before and after every meal. Drink water constantly especially before meals Work out(brisk walk is fine) at least 30 minutes two time a week till heart rate increase or sweat beads on your skin Do simply stretch exercise every morning and night for 10 minutes. Meditate (relaxation response technique is fine) 15 minutes daily Start a Dream Diary/Journal. See a Nutritionist....Blood work test for deficiencies. Do the above for 21 days Those are some fun Ideas that work for me.....This is not advice or recommendation Have fun
  18. There is an asteroid called the city killer that will be very close. However scientist say it won't hot Earth.
  19. Purple Mountain Comet??? Sounds like a Cosmic bag of Skittles being release on the planet....lol.
  20. First off, since when does dark skinned men belong to dark skinned women and when did light skinned women belong to light skinned men? Their women/men? Black is black. And any shade pairing with another is still black pairing with black. How strange would it be if only light skin paired with light skin and the same with dark skin. Realistically, in America, I hardly ever see people with the same skin tone paired off in the black community. Plus, a lot of light skinned men don't complain because they seem to appreciate darker women more than most other people. I've felt they tend to show the least "colorism" out of everyone in the black the community. And the one drop rule only exist today because black people won't let it die. Only white people who use it are white racists calling every biracial person black.
