Dr. Cornel West has tossed his hat into the POTUS race on the People's Party ticket. https://www.newsweek.com/cornel-west-2024-presidential-bid-peoples-party-ukraine-russia-war-1804730 Of course, Democrats will be upset with Dr. West for taking votes away from their base. Neither Democrats nor the GOP has a candidate capable of holding a candle up to Dr. West intellectually. Unfortunately, politics is about raising money and BSing people. Intelligence is not a prerequisite or requirement. Nonetheless, it will be interesting to hear Dr. West outline his agenda for getting America ro pay its debt to AfroAmericans and becoming a more perfect union.😎

Below is a comment I made on ProfD's post @ProfD yeah I heard. Again, why is it 99% of the third parties in the usa, since the two party system, never choose to actually grow from the bottom to the top? the People's party first campaign is this one for Cornell West. Their first campaign. How can you expect to win a majority of 50 states when you have no presence in any state? Cornell west and many others before him, like Ross PErot, have differences in many ways, but all of them , regardless of their knowledge, clearly lack erudition in terms of government. The people's party has a website that is willing to accept money, has a bunch of goals, but has no process. Has no examples to show what they can do in smaller ways? https://www.peoplesparty.org/ I should not had but I went to Cornell WEst's website. https://www.cornelwest24.com/ I quote him What is Cornell West, a member of GI Joe the cartoon. And moreover, based on his introductory statement he is forgetting the USA can't be reintroduced to something it wasn't. When did the USA guarantee housing/guarantee healthcare/guarantee education/guarantee living wages/ guarantee ecological maintenance/... this made me laugh the usa is ending wars, the usa has started or propelled most of the wars since the year 1900/ the USA for over 150 years, which all black people know, has been the king of incarceration/ and the usa has always had extreme poverty, what do you think a slave is financially but poor. Ahh what is the process. But I will entertain this as this involves black leadership and cornell west is a black leader. First he is running for truth and justice, those are concepts, not people. What is the definition of truth or justice? He offers none. Why does it matter? You need to define how you determine a concept. Humans beings have never concurred on what is truth or justice. So you need to define it strictly so people can be clear on how you view it in terms of policy. Second, reintroduce the USA to the best of itself. Well, he explains what the best of the usa is, but the one big problem is most of what he states has no historical basis. So this is an error to me. The truthful thing to say is, introduce the usa to the best of what it can be. The USA hasn't been any of the things he defines as the best of in the usa's history. Third, how to make the things he wants to happen A. end poverty- well, simple equation. revenue earned per person+ financial assistance per person > cost of utilities+cost of food+ cost of clothing+ cost of healthcare. The problem is, the labor market in the usa has never supported the majority, again, slavery as a system is great for fiscal captalism. It allows for humans to be kept in a negative financial state legally which allows for the process of fiscal capitalism to play out and influence most free folk positively, cause the enslaved are taking a constant financial hit. So what is the solution to end poverty? Government assistance, or more bluntly, printing money and giving it to people or when people need, ala healthcare. But, this will not lower cost of items so this is a constant growth of printing money B. end mass incarceration- well, legalize prostitution + legalize loitering in public places like parks/sidewalks<not assault but loitering and not in residencies or private property but public places>+legalize all sales or possessions of drugs: from the heavy like cocaine, to the middle like nicotine or alcohol or to the light, like marijuana+ legalize all gambling, no restrictions anywhere meaning playing dice in the streets it allowed+ legalize all gun sales. The Black community knows this more than most. Black people used illegal means cause we were not allowed legal means by whites. It is simple. Most humans aren't killers but most are not going to fool themselves into low servitudes for the sake of legality. But in a very christian country with many self righteous people, legalization like I just suggested will have many opponents. C. Ending wars this makes me laugh. This is probably the hardest of all. I don't know how a country with seven fleets/three airforce commands/a satellite flleet/three submarine fleets/ a drone army/the CIA/the FBI/the NSA/and of course privateers like Blackwater is going to end wars when they are the genesis of most wars. The fiscally wealthy in the USA + the military community is not going to go back to isolationism as before the first phase of the european imperial wars, commonly called world war one. So this one is hard and I will not spend more than a minute on each of these. D. Ecological collapse well, the USA is going to need an army to tell other countries how to use their resources. At the end of the second phase of the european imperial wars it was possible to get most governments in humanity to guide their economies but today, it is too late outside of using force, but of course, if you want to end wars, you can't start wars so... the good news is, the earth can survive humanity's destruction. E. The guarantees: housing+healthcare+education+living wages. all these things in fiscal capitalism require money. To guarantee them means at the moment, the usa is going to print money like never before, to guarantee them. Now, a problem exists. How can the usa tell china or russia to not print money for their people ? how can the usa not give some members of the european union or the european union itself the ability to print money? if every major government is printing money where does the financial markets reside in all this? I quote a banker, fiscal capitalsim absent penalty isn't fiscal capitalsim. The ability to be broke/penniless/kicked out/totally indebted is part of the natural cycle of fiscal capitalism, to guarantee means that someone's financial ledger has to be totally made up somewhere and why should only one be made up. I conclude with function. Points A+ E policy wise, law wise , mean print money and pay for things. And woe be the day the usa empire isn't the global policeman and someone calls in that debt and has to get it. Points C+D policy wise, law wise, are impossible together. The only way to get all governments in humanity to operate on one page is a larger war machine. but a larger war machine will by default lead to more wars, sooner or later. Second money never blocked an army so the usa has to have a military to defend itself, like all countries. but the usa serves a function as a law enforcer for global trade. the usa has a military machine that breeds wars. No empire can have peace absent its military , while a military is mandatory to allow any government to function against another government, cause eventually another government will want to simply take. And while money can be potentially used to deter wars or get governments to allow certain activity, that is an ever increasing bill. B policy wise, law wise, is the only one that is purely domestic or in the usa in terms of scope. It is the only one that can have a different solution but it is the hardest sell. the usa is full of self righteous people. In AALBC,how many people have chided at the level fo religious zealot black people selling drugs, selling themselves, dealing in guns. To empty the prisons you need to first change the legal code. But, all the towns that are supported by prisons will vote against this, rally against this. So you will sate them with money. What about all the law enforcement communities? they will be unhappy. LEgalization deletes the need for law enforcement as it is. If the only thing illegal is murder and assault, you don't need so many law enforcers. man is drunk on the corner, what's the problem is he isn't assaulting someone. Woman is selling drugs in the park, what's the problem if she isn't assaulting someone. But, I doubt the majority of the populace in the usa , again, very religious, very self righteous, very much into lying will accept such policies. In the end, Cornell West's policies add up to print money. Print money to: end poverty, stop wars, stop mass incarcerations, get governments to allow certain actions concerning the environment, plus pay for guarantees to all living humans. That is a lot of money. In a modern humanity where china makes 92% of the cathodes in all electric car batteries, where Russia + the Arab monarchies own most of the oil. And the most important point, West has nothing but his speeches to show for functionaizing these ideas. Cornell West has a place or lived in Harlem in Manhattan in NYC in NYS. Run for city council. why not?

Every state in the union should be able to stand on its own. Federal funds should only required to offset shortfalls in state budgets. Of course, fiscal management is a different kettle.😎

I think one aspect of Juneteenth should be a moment of reflection and remembrance for the holiday. We should come up with a prayer that every AfroAmerican recites upon awaking on Juneteenth. Otherwise, Juneteenth celebrations should be festive...party, food, drinks, music, etc.😎

Yet HE and the rest of these "scientists" probably have all kinds of trust funds and accounts tucked away for THEIR children and grand children and GREAT grand children....while telling YOU the world is going to end any minute!!! 😵‍💫 ....damn devils just playing GAMES with the people, lol. Done set up a damn "Armageddon Clock" they can wind forward or backward whenever they fell like it....lol. Laaaaawd....🤣....I'm telling you the truth, lol.

Take the day off from work...definitely. Have bar-b-ques, pool parties, block parties.....typical celebrations.

Well my state is Michigan. We're surrounded by the world's largest supply of fresh water and we can pretty much grow all of the food we need that is necessary for survival. In the northern more desolate parts of the state....we got plenty of deer, moose, and rabbits and shit running around wild. We have so much land and natural resources we can support a population of atleast 50 million people if necessary. ....so we good, lol.

ProfD A lot of THESE youth are so full of that fake weed so many are smoking.....it doesn't look very pretty, lol. As soon as some of them walk past you....male of female...you immediately smell a SKUNK.

@Pioneer1, I don't see an AfroAmerican movement building up that would be strong enough to force reparations. I believe 50 years from now, any AfroAmerican interests will be totally diluted and absorbed into the fabric of America. The movements of the 1960s, Black Power and Consciousness, etc., have already been relegated to the rearview. The lessons of our master teachers, Dr. John Henrik Clarke, Dr. Yosef Ben, Dr. Francis Cress Welsing, Neely Fuller Jr. to name a few, are only being embraced by a handful of our folks. Maybe a younger generation of AfroAmericans will pick up the information and carry the torch of fighting for reparations. Doubt I'll see it in my lifetime. 😎

I think most AfroAmerican leaders and most AfroAmericans in general have atleast CONSIDERED the idea of Reparations to various degrees, but as has been said previously....most don't believe we'll actually get it. I personally DO BELIEVE that we will actually get our Reparations and THEN SOME. When? I'm not exactly sure. However I believe we'll the process of receiving Reparations will begin within the next 50 years or so and not only that.....we'll CONTINUE to get Reparations for many many more generations down the line. I think we'll actually get Reparations when the leaders and we as a collective realize that WE will have to PAY OURSELVES Reparations by attaining as much power in this nation as possible and simply passing the Federal laws necessary to dispense it.

I'm proud that our AfroAmerican sista is doing her thing but as she's in a different generation from mine, I have zero connection to her otherwise. 😎

THIS guy......?????? Oh, well shit.....that tells me all I NEED to know about the so-called "People's" Party, lol. Now that I see the type of "people" who founded and are running it....no need to know anything else about it.

richardmurray The issue I have with and the question I have with the "People's Party" is....WHO are the "people" running it? Just because you have a lot of AfroAmericans and Liberal Whites out front in it making a lot of noise, doesn't mean it's being controled by them. As long as Caucasians are running it and are the ones primary funding it and calling the shots, you might as well forget about it having any kind of meaningful impact on solving the problems our community or any other non-White community in the U.S. faces. Many of these so-called "third parties" are nothing more than spider web traps. Covert operations developed by racist Whites to find out who the more progressive and foreward minded people are in the AfroAmerican community and suck them in and NEUTRALIZE them. The know if we formed OUR OWN party we'd be extremely effective in getting things done, so they'll try to suck you into THEIR party in order to monitor you and suppress most of your ideas in the name of "unity".

Surely, there has to be a better way to protest corrupted courts instead of throwing rocks at the police and getting shot.😎

Interesting. I never look at it this way but it makes sense. When I think about this statement, I realize that when Germany Nazi government attacked the European Jews, they attempted a genocide. But maybe it was what occurred prior that is also important to understand. The prior WWI the Germans may have decided that if they did not compete with England, France and others to gain control of African resources then they would be subserviant to the others Europeans like the English. So then, this may be what I now see! The Germans decided to attack certain Africans and the European Jews and then the English and French knew that the Germans began to compete with them for world domination. Therefore, they intervened to help the European Jews. This makes a lot of sense. Therefore, when the Germans attacked back at England, France and other European countries, it therefore, FREED UP AFRICANS from not being totally dominated by European powers. So in essence, the Europeans began to compete and fight against each other and this gave Africa an opportunity to gain a foothold on being attacked and fight back. Eventually, the western Europeans won though, and stopped the German Nazi aggression! WOW! I read a little about how certain European countries did not like Mugabe, but I need to refresh my memory. We were not taught much about this conflict, so it is difficult for me to retain the information of what really happened. From what I remember, Mugabe was against them controlling his country, and he may have had good relations with Russia.

I re-typed my post so, it's worded a little differently: "There's no harm in making Chess moves as long as one knows how to play the game and stays on code."--ProfD This cracks me up. LOL! I think another way to phrase it, maybe would be to learn how to 'read between the lines?' And I think that another way to see this is that it is 'the spirit of supremacy'. Some of them see us as 'broke n*ggas' and easily to be 'put in our places' when money is put down on the table. They then feel that they can own us and shut us down. We're too dumb to even know how to fend for our own freedom. And I have thought about this for years in that I believe that the real motivation behind the Arab Spring may have been the African leaders who may have gotten tired of being oppressed by White Supremacy. And they became silent and got together for the Pan-African Movement in the 1980s and decided to choose their headquarters to be in Ethiopia, in their capitol, Addis Ababa. In this way they help to rebuild up that area because those people had been so hard hit. I believe that some Africans though, did not agree and like their elevated position of trading with other non-African countries and so war broke out in 1991 and in Rwanda and Tigray and etc., and now Sudan. Anyway, I think that if they want victory then some of them are just going to have rely on the ones that just don't give a d*mn and just defend the principle of wanting to be free from White domination. They going to have to be like lions; psychotic. And this make me think about this video short in how this cat handled this little dog! A lot of people may not realize it but domestic cats have an incredible and quick reflex and they can be GANSTA! My 'late' precious fat cat was like this cat in the vidoe. He would daily kill snakes and leave them on top of my car as a trophy and he would regularly fight and birds. When You REalize You're Messing with a Psycho! RxCKSTxR Comedy! exactly! The tangent is the same!
