  1. Controlling and leading are different. Control is trying to govern someone else's movement; thoughts, actions and deeds. Control example...clocking someone's whereabouts or how they spent money. Lead is proactively getting things done towards a positive outcome. Lead example....cooking or making dinner reservations or planning a vacation without having to be asked or told to do so. Being comtrolled doesn’t feel right to most people. It has a negative connotation. OTOH, people will respond favorably to leadership especially if it produces a positive and/or puts a smile on their face.😎
  2. In the south, yesterday's Democrats are today's Republicans. Those good ol boys flying confederate flags and toting rifles still exist. Only the names have been changed because red neck white crackers are more compatible with racist conservative Republicans. The "Dixiecrats" morphed into "Retrumpicans" beginning in the 1960s Why is this so hard for Republicans to process and why do they keep desperately dwelling on it, attempting to create a smoke screen? Labels are superficial. It's not what a group is called. It's how it behaves. The past is the past. Today's KKK members certainly won't be voting for Democrats Kamala and Tim.
  3. It is usually Black Republicans who make this argument and it is intellectually dishonest. The people who have a platform should know better. This video fills in the gaps left out by the professor above. Again, this is common knowledge. The idea that a so-called college professor would agree to produce such a misleading video is ... just being a sell-out.
  4. The Olympics are far removed from the original intent. Yet, Black folks still seem to dominate certain aspects of the games. However, it's interesting that Black folks didn't win the Gold medal for break-dancing...some sh8t we invented.🤣😎
  5. Actually, it was the media who MADE Donald Trump in the first place. A lot of people came along saying the same shit he was saying. Pat Buchanan was one of them; but the media barely acknowledge him or his bid for the presidency, except when someone wanted to do an article on right-wing extremist politics. But Trump came along saying the craziest and zaniest shit...and CNN was the first to report every word of it to the American people. CeeLo Green said, "them crackaz thank they slick". They PROMOTED this right wing racist clown to the American people and helped get him in office, all the while CLAIMING to criticize him and his ideology. CNN gave him the most free advertisement of any President. Damn near every rally he gave in 2015 and 2016 was covered live and uncut by CNN and Fox News. They air his speeches live, then turn around and tell you he's a liar, divisive, and you shouldn't listen to him. Reminds me of Dee from What's Happening!! "Hey mama..... Roger gave me $5 to NOT tell you he was going to that party tonight. So I won't tell you that he went to that party tonight."
  6. I've always found it ridiculous of men and women trying to control others in a relationship. A woman should be defensive if a man tries to control her. Even if that man is her provider and protector, that still doesn't equate to control. Similarly, a man definitely should not allow himself to be controlled by a woman. In fact, a man needs to question his manhood if he's being controlled and/or if there is a possibility that could happen. Having the desire to control another human being is a sign of unresolved mental issue(s) within that individual. Unfortunately, very few people like to 1) admit they have a problem and 2) want to sit and talk to a shrink. Self-medication has been the #1 doctor since the beginning of time.🤣😎
