Part of me always will believe that certain unconscionable individuals mostly remain insulated from the resultant violence, but enjoy the money made from the trafficking of guns. It's our young people who are being slaughtered continuously and relentlessly.

@Pioneer1, along the lines of taking a leap of faith, if Black folks took power away from white folks, they wouldn't have to beg, borrow and wait for anything. The only thing stopping Black people from doing whatever it takes to have a better life is fear and insolence. If Black folks took the initiative to build their own infrastructure and institutions, they wouldn't have to depend on white folks for their subsistence.😎

Sure. Hopefully, you're under no illusion that a sky fairy is making moves on your behalf, ordering your steps and/or the source of your everything. N8gglets running around preaching that the sky fairy will give them a Bentley. The dumbazz congregation scrapes up their coins and buys it for him. But, the preacher will say...won't God do it and the congregation will respond...yes, he will.🤣 Meanwhile, let them miss ONIE payment on the church mortgage, electricity or lawn sprinkler system and Mr. Charile will cut that sh8t smooth the f8ck off. Won't Mr. Charlie do it...yes he will. Amen.🤣😎

Well, they do give him credit for their life, health, strength, job, food, clothing, shelter, vehicles, jewelry, vacations, private schools, etc.🤣 Never will admit that if they stop showing up to work for Mr. Charlie aka White Jesus, they will lose everything.🤣😎

As with every other holiday, I use the 4th of July as another opportunity to eat, drink and fellowship with family and friends. While I'll never run around being an arsonist, I enjoy pyrotechnics. I happen to live a fews minutes driving distance of seeing the national fireworks display on the Mall. I can celebrate holidays as described above and maintain my pro-Black advocacy and anti-racism white supremacy stance as well.😎

I was in Thibodaux last year. Site of a little known race massacre. @zeke1234 the “Jesus” Pioneer speaks of is the one whose religion was used To justify slavery and had done little to stem the violence in our communities. It is a mind set. It is the same mind set that give is our standard of beauty and tells us whose ice is colder.

@Pioneer1 I study history , and in my assessment, notice I didn't say I was right or wrong ... in my assessment your following statement is assumption. What do I know ? I know that even though the british lost the war against the colonies, they did uphold their bargain to the majority of the free black people of the british colonies, said folk who fought against the whites of the colonies. If anyone else reads this notice what I said, they fought against the whites of the colonies. The USA has in it a blood feud that too many have tried to make unreal through media but clearly exists even today. But what does that have to do with your quote Pioneer. You suggest that if britain would had won, then no war between the states. But you forget in your assessment of history, if britain would had won based on their own actions in losing and in the war of 1812 which in my view was the true end to the USA as colonies of britain going forward. Britain was always going to allow Black people in the usa to have rights equal to the whites in the usa if britain won. I don't think britain would had ended slavery but they would had universalized slavery. Meaning what. I guess, no one can know so I am not saying I am right or wrong, that if britain won, the black soldiers would had to play a key role <<it is a joke of nature that black soldiers of the french empire coming from hispanola, that would be soon haiti fought for the colonies. If Haiti had been created, before the usa, said black soldiers don't fight for the french against the british but fightffor haiti alongside britain against france side the usa, only conjecture but it fits>> and based on what britian did in losing, which the usa didn't want. Britian would had given the black soldiers land and rights, equal to any whites in the colonies. why? Ths had nothing t do with europe. Britain only wanted money from the colonies. Britain would not had minded money as long as they are getting it. Sequentially, slavery wouldn't had ended but the phenotypical bounds of slavery in masters or enslaved I think would had ended. And that would had changed human history. To be blunt, chattel slavery still goes on in the usa even, through various cult groups , so slavery never ended , cause it can't, slavery is an element of human culture, forever, the question is, who is enslaved and who is enslaving. I argue the usa becomes like the roman empire , where being enslaved or being an enslaver was polyphenotypical, it had no bounds on appearance... any human could do both. Thanks for the historical question near july 4th

100% and the rest. Thank You

I think as AfroAmericans we should celebrate BOTH July 4th AND June 19th as BOTH are important dates for our liberty. If there was no Independence from Britain in July 4 1776....there wouldn't have been an eventual Emancipation from CHATTLE Slavery in 1865. So both are worth celebrating. But I DO understand the arguments made by those AfroAmericans who refuse to celebrate it. I think every stand we take and every point we make should be MEANINGFUL. Don't be rebellious simply for the sake of being a rebel. I know some Black folks who grow beards simply because corporate America prefers that men be clean shaven.....just growing a bushy ass beard out of some silly protest. Others wear corn rows because they figure White folks DON'T approve of it. Last St. Patricks day, most of the White folks and a few of the Black and Latino folks at work were celebrating it.....I didn't. But I didn't go around with a chip on my shoulder making a big deal over it and lecturing them on the history of that murderous criminal who was NOT a saint. I just....didn't celebrate and went on home. But some Black folks went around wearing shirts saying "St Patrick Wasn't Black" and other shirts meant to antagonize White folks...lol. I put this KNEELING for the pledge of allegiance in the same category. Kneeling and turning around and spinning and spitting on the flag and running out the door as soon as the song comes on ain't doing a DAMN THING to stop police brutality. But niggas are NOTORIOUS for doing shit that DOES NOT WORK. So while half of the NFL and NBA are getting scabs on their knees from kneeling for the pledge of allegiance....White cops are STILL busting caps. Too many of our people are doing shit JUST to get a reaction from Whites. Just trying to get attention. Not actually SOLVING problems in our community...but just trying to get attention and piss White folks off as if THAT will solve some of our problems. If anything, it often makes MORE problems because then those same White folks will out of cowardice take their anger and frustration out in other harmful ways. We should focus more on doing that which BENEFITS us (whether it pleases White folks or angers them should be irrelevant) and less on what we believe pisses off White folks just to see the angry scowl on their faces....lol.

Yes...... And if ALL you do is stand around shaking your head with your arms folded like a pregnant woman.......you can rest assured that this madness will CONTINUE over and over again. This reaction is a GOOD example of why we can't look to the so-called "professional negro" to solve the problems of our communities. Because THEY are looking to the White power structure -White sociologists, psychologists, law enforcement officers, and legislators- to bring the solutions. They aren't looking in the mirror for the solutions. Nor are they looking to another AfroAmerican for the solutions....for they trust neither. THEY are looking for their "White Jesus" to swoop down into the ghettoes of America and clean everything up, and until that happens...THEIR plan is to stand to the side next to the White folks (where they think it's safe) holding candles and shaking their heads, commenting on how senseless the violence has become. Meanwhile the REAL solutions to our problems usually come from the grass roots. From those who haven't been educated/trained (which means had their creativity stunted) by White academia. A good example if how the Fruit of Islam has a well known track record of going into the worse and most violent neighborhoods of America and restoring peace, law, and order in a number of weeks. They did this all through out the 80s and 90s. Well why don't they do it NOW, you ask? They ARE. Most NOI temples are located in the hardest of ghettoes, but there's no foolishness going on in THEIR temples or anywhere on THEIR property where THEY guard and protect it. Nor is there any violence and criminal activity going on at any event the NOI sponsors or speaks at because the NOI and MGT see to it being secure. What goes on in the neighborhoods AROUND NOI property and events.....((shrugs shoulders))...not their responsibility. That's on the local law enforcement....which may explain why those surrounding communities are in the shape they're in. Why the government stopped paying them and offering them contracts to secure public housing and other facilities......I have no idea (yes I do...lol). Don't ask me. But the point is, these are GRASS ROOTS brothers and sisters with CLEAR SOLUTIONS to the crime and mayhem that afflicts so much of Black America. But to those who've been TRAINED to put their faith in White Jesus....aka the White power structure....they will continue to stand on the sidelines with their arms folded, knees wobbling, and head shaking; being both observers AND eventual victims of the hate that the original hater produced.

Now this is a scary thought! I hope that history will not be repeated though, because in the past, the Europeans, GERMANS, did practice mass incarceration--of the European Jews! They put them in ghettos, then prison camps, and then exterminated them. Also, I read only about two days ago, that another European country is burning the Koran! This teenage that was killed, I feel so sorry for his mother. This reminds me of Trayvon Martin. How could someone be so cruel and evil.

To @Pioneer1's point, I find it interesting that white folks feel comfortable showing up @ AALBC a discussion forum primarily for Black folks. Whenever said white folks do post anything, it's mostly to criticize and/or point out the flaws in Black folks. The same white folks who show up here don't seem to offer anything positive or constructive nor do they provide a solution for what white folks will do to eliminate the system of racism white supremacy. I would dare not show show up on a white extremist or KKK or Duck Dynasty website talking about how white folks need to stop inbreeding, smoking crystal meth, mass killing each other and eating squirrels. I would hope that intelligent white folks are capable of having those discussions among themselves or at least find something else to eat. White folks don't need my point of view. I certainly don't need theirs when it comes Black folks and the conditions we face resulting from a system of racism white supremacy. 😎
