  1. Hi @Pioneer1 🥰 YEP!! I've spent this whole month watching documentaries on aliens, UFOs, spirits, and consciousness...and these documentaries every single one takes us back to Africa - I don't care what European PhDs, physicists, cosmologists, archaeologists, and neurologists appear in the documentary they send the viewer back to Africa ...and so when I found this documentary with Black scholars breaking down the mythology that gave birth to all religions...I cried. It's not like I hadn't been reading this stuff since last century ( circa 1998), but I never thought to put together a thesis to answer the question, "What is the purpose of this mythology and how does it help us move behind the matrix?" Well, Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz said it best..."if I ever go looking for my heart's desire, I won't go looking any further than my own backyard."
  2. Dude got more gums than teef.....lol.
  3. 🤔 What's with all this THEY THEY THEY ????? If YOU are one of "the blacks" then you should be saying WE....lol
  4. Ok, thanks! I was thinking he may have been related to David Ruffin of the Temptations.
  5. Black people want freedom and to benefit from living in this society. They don't want to be deprived of rights, opportunity, or material well-being. Whether these things come from living in Black neighborhoods and having black businesses; it can also be found in the White mainstream. That includes elite universities or professional jobs in Corporate America. Black people often feel like we're losing something we need or want. It's not about segregation or assimilation. It's about pluralism and agency. All Black neighborhoods with thriving businesses should be possible along with opportunities in the White mainstream whether it's a job or going to an amusement park like Disney World. It's important to realize that during the era of Jim Crow segregation whites did business in black communities and rented property to blacks. None of this is about optics. It's about power and control with all its benefits. That's what most Blacks want.
  6. What most AfroAmericans want today is SEPARATION....not Segregation. There's a difference........... 50 or 60 years ago most AfroAmericans didn't want Separations. Some did...a minority...but most wanted full integration into White society because they felt it would make us better off collectively. Now 50 and 60 years later, we realize that it did not. While SOME Black folks benefited....MOST of our people are worse off today than most of their grand parents were back during the Jim Crow era. Personally.....I want BOTH: SEPARATION with the option to INTEGRATE as needed or desired, lol.
