  1. Lol....what do you mean "our" women? If Serena Williams was OUR woman....she'd be with US, and not having babies with some skinny big headed Armenian dude...lol.
  2. If this site were not solely fixated on Black books I would promote Poverty, by America by Matthew Desmond (Amazon is discounting the book by 37%) โ€œThe United States, the richest country on earth, has more poverty than any other advanced democracy. Why? Why does this land of plenty allow one in every eight of its children to go without basic necessities, permit scores of its citizens to live and die on the streets, and authorize its corporations to pay poverty wages?โ€ Desmond also wrote another critically acclaimed book, Evicted (which Amazon is selling for 42% off--less than my wholesale discount!). This is not a "Black" problem as many would portray, but an American problem. Black folk just catch pneumonia when white America catches a cold... But increasingly we are all are getting Covid. White man live in a country that has provided them with benefits due to their race and gender, but they are living in poverty in alarming numbers. Black folks of any status call this a waste of white skin. It is no wonder that white men are angry and killing themselves and overdosing in record numbers. They, like everyone else, is poorly educated and targets of propaganda. They are led to believe they are lacking in some inherent way or worse it is some other group like the liberals, the Blacks, Mexicans, the non-Christinans or some other group that is also being victimized by the same forces
  3. I don't have the money, clout, or connections to keep up with Danny DeVito EITHER..... And just like Serena....you don't see me lamenting over it.
  4. See, this is why reading is fundamental.......... 1. I didn't say Biden....did I? I said the "racists in power", especially in the Democrat Party of which Adams belongs. Now if the term "racists in power" is synonymous with President Biden in YOUR opinion, then you may want to re-consider your support...lol 2. I said I SUSPECT this is coming from them. Because unlike you....I don't automatically jump to conclusions and cast dispersions based on pre-conceived assumptions. I wait for more facts to come out. .....but this seems to be the case.
  5. I watched/listened to the video. The conditions that put Black folks in poverty and make it harder to get out are different than it is for white folks. Black folks don't own the avenues to generating income nor do we have direct access to power. OTOH, if the millions of whiite folk living in poverty stood together and demanded better wages or living conditions, it could happen for them faster than anyone else.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  6. Excellent. Love to see folks getting their flowers while they're still among the living.๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  7. A white man could get up off his sofa, shave, shower, put on a suit and apply for a job. He'd either replace minorities or be their boss in less than 6 months.๐Ÿ˜ Many white folks don't have to be in poverty here in America. They have chosen to remain or be poor. There's no other reason to explain why poor white folks vote against their best interests. Unless the threat/promise of keeping Black folks beneath them is a benefit. There's a reason the media doesn't run around America showing a bunch of broke, dirty and dysfunctional white folks either. Poverty in America is real. But, it's not an American problem. It's a self-inflicted wound especially for white folks.๐Ÿ˜Ž
