I first met Tom Wood two years ago when I shot this video. Wood was the first Black member of a major U.S. bank’s board of directors, when he became a member of the Chase Manhattan Bank board of directors under the chairmanship of David Rockefeller. This would be Tom's last interview. He passed three week later.

After discussing the dangers of AI on here yesterday, I happened to listen to an interesting exchange on the need for our people to "ride the Artificial Intelligence wave", between Brother Rich and 19 Keys last night. It only lasts a few minutes out of the entire interview and can be found starting at the 2 hour and 24 minute mark: I must admit, when he said "You have to be aware of everything in order to control everything"....that was powerful. Whether we invented it or agree with it, we should atleast know about it and understand it as completely as possible in order to ascertain whatever benefits we can and use it to OUR benefit.

The coups we are seeing in Africa are in reaction to French colonialism. To this day France still has their hands in the pockets of their colonies and they are still colonies. The people in power in these nations have been tools of the French and they are being replaced. Trump's isolationism was actually helpful to Africa... this is worth discussing in more detail...

@Pioneer1, you know from the teachings of NF Jr. that there are certain things that aren't worth discussing.😉 If a subject is not about solving problems, it might lead to a non-constructive argument. 🤣 Politics, religion and conspiracy theories are just a few rabbit holes that will lead to non-constuctive dialog. I will give my opinions on any topic of discussion but I don't challenge what folks believe. Folks have a right to think and believe whatever thry choose. We do not have a right to impose our beliefs on others. HIV is a man-made disease. There's nothing we can do about it.🤣😎

2 powerful reasons: Fear and Love 1. They fear the power that White folks have over them and see them as "almost" invincible. Often times the only time a Black person will challenge White power is when they are so desparate and have nothing else to lose and don't even give a fuck if they live or die....THEN they'll go all out and use everything within their means to challenge White authority. ....and usually will WIN. Look at Haiti and Somalia as examples. Problem is, it happens so few and far in between that not enough wins have been racked up to overturn the White Racist System. Even worse, after wining and driving them out of the nation the NEXT generation of niccas will get lazy and invite the White folks back in for some trinkets and jobs. 2. You gotta be honest, a HUGE percentage of Black folks (especially in Africa) love White folks too much to fight them. They see them as angels. Think Florida Evans and White Jesus..... "Boy you hush yo mouth! Don't you talk like that infront of Jesus!!!" They see them as being "better" morally, looking better, certainly nicer, more refined, and more educated. They seek them for education and better standards of living.....so their own logic wouldn't allow them to destroy that which they love and seek benefits from. How can you and why would you fight him whom you believe to be "Jesus"????
