  1. Well, this was a much more damaging storm. I thought the retention pond behind my home would reach my house. It would have with a couple more hours. The preserve next to me was completely flooded. The winds were as strong as I’ve ever experienced. I risked becoming “Florida man” to see what I felt like outside 8-) I a the tree roof tiles and a shutter. Other than that I faired pretty well. I never lost power and today is a beautiful day.
  2. Join Peda Entertainment creator Chizoba Peter Uwandu (live) and Yours Truly (virtually) as we explore Africa in Comics with Dr. Afrodesia McCannon of NYU. You don't want to miss it!

    This should’ve happened a long time ago. I’ve written about the subject going back 15 years. Google really screwed up the World Wide Web. At this point the damage that they have done as beyond repair, but the point is moot because their search engine will become increasingly irrelevant in the age of AI. I Use ChatGPT more than I use Google’s search engine now. Part of the reason is that Google search results page is cluttered with misleading advertisements. I’m sure the problems I have with Google today will emerge with ChatGPT down the road. And the government won’t do anything about that until it’s too late too

    That's a d8mn good question.😎
  5. That was one of the 2 key reasons FOR so-called Integration. 1. Keeping an eye on Black students so they can monitor future "threats" to their society 2. Close proximity to Black creativity so that they can STEAL ideas in their inception and capitalize on them as well as get the credit.
  6. OK I trying to stay away from the Algorithm, but I have fallen prey to some of the Diddy stuff in YouTube. This is not about lavishly freaky parties. Apparently, this is about kidnapping and holding hostage underage girls to sexual torture involving Oprah, Steve Harvey, TD Jakes, and others... at least that is the shit that is in my feed. 🫣 Apparently, Kat Williams has been trying to tell y'all all this for years Whether the worst of these rumor and gossip is true, or not, I don't think this is "The Man" railroading Diddy because he was about to do something positive for the Black masses in the vein of MLK. X, or Garvey. This is some Jeffrey Epstein, Harvey Weinstein shit on steroids.
  7. Thank you! I wished it away, and Mother Nature covered the entire city of South Fulton, including our very vocal and beloved Black Mayor. We did get high winds, and some branches and trees took a hit. I know we were at risk of flash flooding, but the creeks are a distance from my subdivision. Our water plant failed, so we have a boil order in place. And get this... Effing Bio Labs in Conyers, GA, caught fire... and these folks installed water sprinklers that respond to fires, including chemical fires, so we are at risk of chlorine poisoning tod . EPA is testing the air - and we just got a notification that our air is a "janky." Hi All!!! 👋
  8. Or better yet..... Instead of constantly running from one plantation to another plantation and fleeing one cruel white "massa" only to end up under the whip of another; we should form OUR OWN political party and push OUR agenda. With all of this talk and bashing of the Democrat Party....and they deserve it.....when I look over at the Republican Party I don't see Black folks running shit except their mouths. What power do Black folks have in the Republican Party? Niggaz aren't even allowed to decide what foods and refreshments to serve at MAGA rallies and conventions. They have NO power. Just stand there grinning and clapping and hope nobody asks them to leave.
  9. The Evil Republicans will save us! How about teaching accounting to all Black kids at home. .
  10. That's great... It is also necessary that you understand what you read...
  11. I know you can read but i am not sure ofyour comprehension Your refusal to acknowledge the two verse and there importance to the very concept of what slavery is....causes my to question either your intellectual honesty or understanding The truth is the bible neither supports or condones slavery In Name only...Nothing near to or in any way like chattel slavery or African enslavement in the Americas 1600-1800. Here is three more verses: New American Bible Revised Edition Exodus 21:12 Whoever strikes someone a mortal blow must be put to death Exodus 21:20-21 When someone strikes his male or female slave with a rod so that the slave dies under his hand, the act shall certainly be avenged. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property. Exodus 21:26-27 When someone strikes his male or female slave in the eye and destroys the use of the eye, he shall let the slave go free in compensation for the eye. If he knocks out a tooth of his male or female slave, he shall let the slave go free in compensation for the tooth I show you the scripture that advises slaves to escape when and if possible ....are you dening that is what the scripture says? That is to the slaves benefit....it is the slaves choice as to whether or not he wants to continue on with that family... I see @Chevdove did a partial hermeneutics on that verse... I will add that not being able to live with their former master they have no land to live on they then will have to return from whence they fled and possible face persecution or go into a new land where they may indeed become chattel slaves or worse Todays vernacular what I explain above is called green card denied/revoke or immigrantion status persona non grata...capisce. No....The enslave chose enslavement If the slave in question is not a Prisoners of War....Then the slave sold themself into bondage If the slave is a Prisoner of War then....The slave chose enslavement over execution. in both cases the individual chose their fate As an aside William Wilberforce had to prove to the british parliment that the bible was against slavery ...as a result the racist made a slave bible with 65% of the bible missing and change much of the present bible...Wilberforce writing and arguments are still not in the public domain
