1. We as Black people don't have a dog in this fight because BOTH the Israelis and Palestinians have shown themselves to be racists against Black people. Not all of them obviously, but collectively. Ask the Ethiopian Jews about the racism they've faced in Israel by the Ashkenazi Jews. Ask Black people in Palestine and other parts of the Middle East what "abeed" means and how they're treated by Arabs. I say let them handle that between themselves. 2. Going back to what I said earlier. You have Egypt, Iran, Syria, Iraq and other nations with militaries who COULD help out the Palestinians. But they aren't.........to any noticeable extent atleast. There's a reason. I don't want innocent people to be killed or even injured ANYWHERE on this planet. Not in Israel, not in Palestine, not in Congo, not in Nigeria, .....nowhere. All of this focus on Gaza and what's going on over there, where was the focus of the world while fighting goes on in Eretria and Congo and Ethiopia? Do not THOSE lives matter too?

Wow. I must take five steps to the rear, pause a few moments, stand tall and salute Pioneer. 'Cuz he nailed it.

Careful @Pioneer1 this is the Black excellence forum! Mutton busting is when toddlers ride sheep, the way adults "bust" broncos. It is the cutest thing 🙂

No, I wouldn't @Pioneer1. He IMHO has distorted, perhaps permanently, his natural beauty. I also believe beauty comes from within. Haven't you ever met a sista that once you got to know her appears far more attractive, than when assessed based solely upon her looks? Similar really attractive people can become very "ugly," repulsive even, based upon their behavior. I don't know Jay-Z but what little I know of him, oputs him on par with Idris ... now that Little Wayne is a 'hole 'nother story 😮

In Boley, OK I saw my first rodeo -- all Black rodeo. The mutton bustin' was my favorite event 🙂
