  1. Right. The enemy who owns the media would never spend too much time showing their folks taking Ls. The best way to keep Black in fear and afraid is to show them as weak, powerless and defenseless. That makes war a necessary evil. Gotta learn how to defend and protect ourselves at some point.😎
  2. When a man truly figures out what he wants/needs from a woman, he can maximize his life expectancy.😁 If a woman has a problem with her man, it's probably because he's not listening or paying enough attention. There's nothing someone else can do to *fix* it.😎
  3. I don't want anything. YOU asked for a suggestion. If YOU do not like My suggestion Tough SHIT! I will consider being so kind as to not make any more. But maybe I will since reading you blow a gasket is so funny.
  4. Well my question is, if the husband was scowling and upset at what he saw....then why did he bring his ass up here? Why didn't he stay where he was and be happy, and let his wife and kids come up here where THEY'D be happy? I know what it was. He saw too much Black competition, and didn't like it....lol. Most people who come to the U.S. don't realize that we have so many Black people or that so many of the Black people are doing well. They think most AfroAmericans are confined to ghettos and slums being harassed by the police. Probably came up here and saw so many Black folks with money, cars, and Black men with White women giggling at them and thought to himself... "These Prietos would never be allowed to make so much money, drive such cars, and screw so many white women back in MY country." Talk about war is a "necessary evil". To many of these non-Black immigrants; having to live and work around Black folks is a "necessary evil" if they want to stay in America and have something to eat. As much as they hate it, they don't want to go back to sleeping on dirt floors and having to share the sidewalk with goat and dogs.
  5. If New York City is so strapped for cash, they should stop housing and feeding all of those illegal immigrants they have up there by the thousands. Housing them up in hotels and giving them spending money. .....but have the nerve to complain about citizens not paying subway fare.
  6. It happens occasionally, but not nearly enough. And in the defense of our brothers, I would also say that the media does it's best NOT to report on the circumstances where brothers DO stand up and get the upper hand. That incident in Alabama felt so good to see and had Black folks grinning and talking for weeks afterwards way up here in Michigan and around the nation. People we making "chair" jokes for nearly a month....lol. The Establishment knew it and it just reminded us as to why so few incidents like that are actually reported in the mainstream media. Because they are careful to NOT inspire other Black folks to stand for themselves in similar situations. As Dr. Wesley Muhammad and some others in the Nation of Islam pointed out many years ago, they love to show you pictures of Black folks being brutalized, beat up, executed in the streets, in helpless situations....because it demoralizes you and makes you feel hopeless. Even if they have a story and footage of Black folks standing up and fighting back...they are reluctant to show it. They know what they're doing. But that George Floyd footage backfired on their ass...lol.
  7. As long as you put what they say into your Nothing Box. 😂
  8. What can they do with facial recognition? Search for and track repeat offenders. Find the travel patterns of repeat offenders. Have the police waiting for them when they get off. Pick a number of offenses to qualify as a felony.
  9. For the same reason the United States is allegedly "in debt" but is still fully operating like nobody's business...lol. Same reason many of the companies out there claim to be in the red....and have been so for years...but some how manage to keep operating. And what reason is that? Because people are LYING about their true financial status. On top of that........ Most public transit systems get federal grants allocated to them. MTA is probably getting MILLIONS of federal dollars free money, as well as millions from the STATE of New York and the CITY of New York....to maintain operations; so they aren't just relying on tokens from old ladies and niggas who decide to be nice and pay their fare and not jump turn-styes at subway stations....for their revenue.
  10. Actually, you make a good point. Trying something out implies that if it becomes uncomfortable or you don't like it....you may quit it. I stand corrected on that one 😉
  11. Everyone would have to ignore it @Chevdove for it to benefit us all. until then we’ll need continue to fight .
  12. The question to ask is why are non-Black folks attending HBCUs in the 1st place. Non-Black folks don't need to be educated in our schools in order to get a job from the dominant society. But, I can think of several reasons for their enrollment. It's definitely not to help us.😎
  13. Fair enough...I accept what you are saying Know that what you are stating is not antithetical to what I have known to be true. In a space such as this....I need a certain kind of evidence - That can be provided as a rudimentary support for that which I am espousing If I cannot provide the above...I will hint and not state - though sometimes enthusiasm gets the better of me Ever since Net Neutrality I have lost access to a lot of information that was freely and readily available without membership swapping personal info or accepting cookies. I Knew what you are saying as true...it is what I was brought up to accept to be true Especially with regard to our hair and melanin being exceptional.....making us Black people special and unique. The word coil tries to hide the word spirals which connects us to natural energies and how those energies move - Antennae....nuff said This being the reason why we excel in every field of endeavor even when we are disadvantaged...The opposer will respond - if that be true then why are you now at the bottom? Take for instance the Story of Yakub I first heard of it in the early to mid 80's from Nuwaubian Nation of Malachi York proselytizers.... Prior to that in the late 60' - early 70's I was told it was a curse from God put on Gehazi that resulted in White skin....the stories are related - Reminiscence of Miriams curse The story of Yakub/Gehazi I would never defend or espouse in this space...though every year I see more and more Evidence coming out in favor of them. Now if you can bring those simply receipts then yes....I am all in
