@nels What are you trying to accomplish? Are you trying to inform and educate? Are you trying to convert people here to the Republican party? What? You you've been here for years; you should know that most of the regular posters here are not just one thing. We may be conservative on some issues and liberal on others. We don't do any of the things that you've listed. However, you are guilty of a few. Most recently "Try to prevent people from learning facts that are based on truth." Your recent post saying that the democratic party of 150 years ago is same one today. Why did you do you expect that argument to work on us, or anyone with a high school education? We pointed out the obvious flaw in your argument. You reacted by doubling down saying that the parties have not changed?! Look, you are not dealing with ignorant children we recognize that both parties have flaws and the Black people have not been truly served by either any political party since the founding of this nation. Now given the choice of the Presidential candidates Harris and Trump, the best choice is clearly Harris -- regardless of your so-called race. Both are flawed but one is profoundly flawed -- a global embarrassment as our Nation's leader. Unfortunately, the Republication party under Trump's control has become a trainwreck. No one reasonable hates republicans -- just because they are republican. Some here may hate Trump, but he is just one man. I liked the way Mike Pence stood up to Trump when it mattered most. There are righteous Republican and Democratic politicians, in Congress, trying to do the right thing for the American people, but the divisions and the resulting dysfunction is making it difficult to accomplish anything productive. Your posts attempt to fuel this division. Perhaps increasing division is your goal, but to what end?

Of course the reason is the system of white racism. However, this video does offer a sensible overview of the differences. A Christian entity produced the video, but I think anyone can learn from it -- even @nels

Be glad there's a TV SCREEN in the way.....lol.

God is All....there is nothing but God Good is the Finite Verb for God. There is only Good....Evil is the absence of Good Evil the Absence of Good is Relative Good (and the word evil) is a term with religious connotations that means or stands for Kindness and Fairness which is Spiritual and hence Universal..... Good is Life Supporting and Promoting....All known Life Forms Recognize and Knows Goodness Innately.

Shame on you checking out another man's wife through your TV screen.🤣😎

Yall DO know that that painter Bob Ross....had his hair permed to look kinky right? This is him years ago...with STRAIGHT hair in it's natural form.

While I did not watch the DNC live, I did listen to Kamala’s speech 90% of it anyway. The media keeps going on and on about how Democrats are all energized now. As if anybody who was gonna vote for Trump will change their mind now. Can anyone explain to me why they think Kamala has a better chance at beating Trump than Hillary Clinton did — as she’s white! Was it the email server, pizzagate, her husband. That said the main thing hurting Trump was his actual presidency and January 6. Hillary did not have that advantage, so I think Kamala will win.

As a member of the generation who actually lived through and participated in past history, my response is to the "Johnny-come- latelys" like nels, hindered by their tunnel vision, spouting all of their second-hand information which does not span the big picture. Black progress has been made and was not accomplished alone. Much of it began during Democratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration within the halls of the non-discriminatory Civil Service department, where ANYBODY who passed an exam was eligible for federal employment which at that time also included the Post Office. Democratic president Harry S. Truman desegregated the armed forces. There were also organizations like the NAACP, The Urban League, and last but not least, the Civil Rights movement, all of which wouldn't have gone far without the help and financial assistance of white people of good will! The much-maligned liberal media is who aired Martin's and Malcolm's grievances. catapulting them into the national spotlight that proved beneficial to them. LBJ, who was a product of his southern origins, put aside his past and, with MLK looking over his shoulder, signed the civil rights bill. Jewish philanthropists and white corporations also funneled large sums of money into negro causes and colleges during those times. But others with ulterior motives want to put their spin on the situation when, in truth, blacks have not been the complete dupes of political parties. In a perfect world, things would be perfect but in the real world, Life don't give a damn about niggas, and since Jesus ain't stepped up, black folks need to look in the mirror and consider who really deserves the blame for their race not achieving its secret wish to control America and enforce black supremacy. 😜 Some consideration should also be given to the fact that, as individuals, blacks are at their best, and that the black middleclass hasn't done bad for itself, either. But, of course, this mindset does not jibe with the myopia of the visionaries who dream the impossible dream🙄 I'm done. 😝

Many of us have always believed neither political party has served Black folks well. Abraham Lincoln didn't free slaves because he cared about Black folks. The racist LBJ signed the Civil Rights Bill but he didn't give a d8mn about Black folks. Both political parties only do that which is politically expedient when it comes to Black people. The primary objective of both political parties is maintaining the system of racism white supremacy. The warped aspect of it is that both political parties can get Black folks to serve as wardens, officers and trustees in the prison. Black folks need to break from the status quo and form their own political party.😎

This was the first year of my life that I’m feeling my age, and that is mainly because of my knees. People say that I look young for my age too. Funny thing is, they are starting to say that about my oldest daughter. With my three daughters.

Im not speaking for ladles but I'll repost my comment from the other thread here: 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.😎
