  1. What's silly is misplaced Concerned.... What I see is so called "White collar crime" mostly perpetrated by white men going unprosecuted and underreported. White Collar Crime Kill way more that all so called violent crime combined....and often no one goes to jail. Vioxx is just one Drug.....in One Industry Graham testified, based on data from studies conducted by Merck, that between 88,000 and 139,000 U.S. residents have experienced heart attacks or strokes as a result of Vioxx. He added that as many as 40% of those patients, or about 55,000, died as a result of Vioxx. According to Graham, FDA previously would not allow him to publish the study on Vioxx, and agency officials sent e-mails to Lancet to persuade the editors not to publish the research https://kffhealthnews.org/morning-breakout/dr00027781/ You do not want to debate....you only want to stigmatize. This Conjecture of yours is laughable.....blame the victim - reverse psychology. No ethnic Group in America throughout its history has suffered more State Sanction Violence...Only Native Americans come close Of Course you don't.....your conscience will reveal your lying hypocrisy. That we agree on.... Propaganda to malign Blacks so as to assuage the conscience of those of evil intent and trick the simple minded Another step in the dehumanization of Black peoples....
  2. DRAMA On the Basketball Court! Bayou Barbie vs Caitlin Effin Clark! –& First Lady Biden Draws a Foul! There is a new Female GOAT but this time I am not shouting about the track girls that I love to see compete on the track! This time it’s a Baltimore Lady Tiger! Angel Reese! Yes!!! But the 6’3 star is by far not the only star on that team LSU! Nevertheless, the media attacked Angel, dubbed ‘the Bayou Barbie’. It has been reported that Old White men were outraged at her behavior against the opponent player, Catilin Clark and out of an onslaught of attacks due to her ‘trash talk’ and etc., Angel was called classless … that was until the media finally had to admit that Caitlin also had behaved in like manner! Tensions rose to the point that even Shaq weighted it! LOL Aside from this newsbreak though, this game was so awesome that these girls have now caused this underrated dynamite women’s sport to be a major event to see! This past national championship game that took place on April 2, 2023, in Dallas, Texas has had record setting spectator numbers! And this thrust into media attention was not about the bad press, however, it was because THESE GIRLS CAN BALL! Apr 2, 2023; Dallas, TX, USA; LSU Lady Tigers guard Jasmine Carson … Angel Reese Apr 2, 2023; Dallas, TX, USA; LSU Lady Tigers guard Alexis Morris (45) ... Flau Jae Johnson Last-Tear Poa from A Polynesian Lady Tiger from Australia However, credit needs to be given where credit is due! That team was led to victory with the boost from that LSU coach; she set it up! WOW! If that doesn’t shift the negativity off of Mulkey for the smear against her about Brittany Griner then nothing else will! Listen, Brittany chose to attend a Baptist institution so, Think about that. That coach is a superstar herself, Kimberly Mulkey. Tiger Mom! Apr 2, 2023; Dallas, TX, USA; LSU Lady Tigers head coach Kim Mulkey talks with Angel She needs her own show! The Bayou Golden Girl! What Style! ______________________________________ Kimberly Duane Mulkey (born May 17, 1962) [1] is an American college basketball coach and former player. She is the head coach for Louisiana State University’s women’s basketball team. A Pan-American gold medalist in 1983 and Olympic gold medalist in 1984, she became the first person in NCAA women’s basketball history to win a national championship as a player, assistant coach, and head coach. [2] She has won NCAA championships as the coach of Baylor in 2005, 2012, and 2019 and LSU in 2023. Mulkey was inducted into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame in 2000, and was also inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. [3][4][5] … Kim Mulkey was one of the first girls in the U.S. to play organized basketball with boys. … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Mulkey The LSU Tigers competed against the IOWA Hawkeyes and the competition was intense! But not only did Angel get attacked for being well --YOU KNOW WHY—the real kick came from FIRST LADY BIDEN! After the LSU ladies competed and brought home the victory, Jill Biden announced that the losing team should also be invited to the WHITEhouse! Ha! Foul! First Lady Biden Draws a foul! smh! If that doesn’t send a message! Jill Biden scraps White House invite for Iowa women’s basketball team “I know we’ll have the champions come to the White House; we always do,” Jill Biden, 71, told an audience in Denver Monday, one day after watching LSU beat Iowa 102-85 for the title in Dallas. “So, we hope LSU will come, but, you know, I’m going to tell Joe I think Iowa should come too, because they played such a good game,” the first lady went on. While championship-winning teams have been regular guests at the White House since at least the Reagan administration, runners-up have gotten no such consideration. … Sunday afternoon’s game drew 9.9 million viewers on the ESPN family of networks, making it the most-viewed women’s college basketball game on record — nearly doubling the 5.7 million who tuned in to watch Connecticut best Oklahoma for the 2002 championship. https://nypost.com/2023/04/04/jill-biden-scraps-white-house-invite-for-iowa-womens-basketball/ First Lady Jill Biden Angel pretty much retorted that all year she had been accused of being ‘too ghetto’ and ‘too hood’ and attacked for trash talking but WAIT-A-MINUTE! I guess Angel is the only female that has done this!? Thankfully, Caitlin Clark did NOT fall for this ridiculous reaction! And why should she? If anyone saw Caitlin Clark play, GEEZ! That girl can ball, and she is definitely another GOAT! I’ve never seen anyone ball like her. The 6’0 Lady Hawkeye is electrifying and has a lot of personality on the court. Caitlin was recorded after she scored a record game for her ‘You can’t see me’ hand sign, the commentator later learned that it was a signature gesture made famous by a famous wrestler named Cena and of whom said that he stole it from Tony Yayo, a Haitian Rapper and group performer friend of 50-Cent! LOL. Tony Yayo She made this gesture the Louisville rival Haley Van Lith and of whom both of the athletes were trash talking. But off the court, they are friends! The gesture has been explained by some to mean, ‘I’m so good that you are not even on my level. You can’t even see me!’ WHEW! Nevertheless the media exploded against Angel Reese! But the truth needs to be spoken completely though; Caitlin Clark also received a backlash too! Some commented against her too for being a bad sport and arrogant, etc., for her gesture towards Haley! So, it’s time to move on! Those girls brought the game! I would love to own a Caitlin Effin T-shirt. Caitlin Clark Caitlin was filmed as she trashed talked at her former roommate, Haley Van Lith, who trained with the late Coby Bryant and a brilliant baller herself. The Iowa Hawkeyes did not get to that championship game on clout. That game was insane! ______________________________________________________________ She also told Louisville's Hailey Van Lith, a former Team USA teammate of hers, “You're down by 15 points. Shut up.” That was her response because … Van Lith was also talking trash.Apr 4, 2023 https://theathletic.com/4378023/2023/04/04/women-basketball-trash-talk-reese-clark/ Haley Van Lith By John Mac -
  3. Oh, to be a committed turncoat ... and a loser! Despite all evidence that Republicans positively despise Black people, so many of us still lick their boots. Willingly. Eagerly. Lovingly. Fox News now has to fork of $787.5 million in a settlement in which the creepy network admits that some statements it made I in defense of Trump the Dummy were patently untrue. But anyone with a working brain already knew that.
  4. This will probably make little difference and be used as evidence that the woke left wing is out to destroy good ole fashioned white American gun-toting Christian values. Fox should be legally prevented from calling themselves a news ut let the are a propaganda machine driven to maximize revenue, they don;t care about relating the truth. I understand there are more lawsuits pending.
  5. It depends on the woman 🙂 Seriously, it also depends upon the culture and the period. Here in America, were men wore what could be considered frilly blouses it was a sign of high social standing -- a definite babe magnet. Today men know wearing a frilly blouse is not masculine and will likely repel most women. But this is changing as marketers push men to wear more feminine clothing. @Delano you will probably disagree with this, but I'll let you in on a secret... most women are attracted to masculine men (as defined by current cultural standards). Of course, this is not universally true. This is obvious to most people. Now if the feminine man can also sing, dance, is a celebrity, and has a boatload of money all bets are off. I hear you man; really anyone with a modicum of self-esteem would not want to trade with anyone. My question was really just to get Del to see that he would not want to be a 5'2" man (all due respect to men of that stature) and admit it would be a liability in attracting women. No, I don't get teased for being short or smart -- unless I'm around my immature poker buddies who I've know for 50+ years 🙂
  6. @Pioneer1 I saw this video #Short and thought of your comment and just couldn't resist to post this: This Generation needs help
  7. Lol..... I knew what was going to happen and STILL ended up laughing. What's up with the other grandson sitting on the other side of her rubbing her back but wasn't doing a damn thing but nodding his head in support.....lol.
  8. You know, I just read in the news today about a shooting in a school in Nashville Tennessee. The shooter was a White person about 28 years old. Biologically the person is a female but later identified as Transgender. The person, Audrey Hale, was a student at this school at once and she shot and killed the actual owner of the school as well as about three little children. I may be wrong but I heard once that violent crimes like this in which a white person kills many whites is high, but yet, someone comes into this forum with this kind of sick mentality.
