@Chevdove as quiet as it is kept not everything can be found on the worldwide web. I find that conscious black stuff has been increasingly difficult to find given the way googles search engine, and social media algorithms work today. Might have to dig a bit deeper maybe he’s been written about in the book somewhere. I’ll be surprised if he still speaking in public given he’s almost 100 years old. @Pioneer1 can probably give you some information on his background. In the meantime, here is some background information provided by ChatGPT (take it with the grain of salt) Neely Fuller Jr. was born in 1929 in Muskogee, Oklahoma, during a time when racial segregation and discrimination were deeply entrenched in American society, especially in the South. Growing up in this environment significantly shaped Fuller’s awareness of racial issues and influenced his lifelong work in counter-racism theory. His early education took place within the segregated school system of Oklahoma, which provided a firsthand experience of the racial disparities that would later inform his life’s work. After completing high school, Fuller joined the U.S. military, serving during the Korean War era. His experiences in the armed forces, where he encountered a diverse array of people from various racial and ethnic backgrounds, further deepened his understanding of systemic racism and the dynamics of power and control. It was during his time in the military that Fuller began formulating his theories on white supremacy as a global system affecting all areas of people activity. Though not formally educated in academia beyond his early schooling, Fuller dedicated his life to self-education, research, and personal inquiry, which he channels into his writings and lectures. His primary work, The United Independent Compensatory Code/System/Concept, remains a seminal text, and Fuller is regarded as a crucial voice in the discussion of race relations and counter-racism, advocating for individuals to adopt a structured approach to dismantling racism at every level of society.

I was in love.

Nope. I've seen it for several decades. It might help to the extent that it widens the pool of candidates. Older divorced or widowed dudes might end up back on the market. They would appreciate a woman who comes to the house with her own bag i.e. money. Definitely a problem. I believe unrealistic standards is a sign that she doesn't really want a man. Many of them are trying to be a man.🤣 In their 40s now, a couple of them may have settled for the Black man who works in the service industry or a blue collar job. That would have definitely expanded their options.😁😎

Hey Chevdove I did not find that funny either 😉

So you are not surprised that sister can’t find a man? I’m not sure moving up in age would help very much as most of the decent men 10 to 15 years their senior are either already hooked up or don’t wanna be tied down (how many 45 year-old men do you see walking around never married claiming they can’t find Sista?) I think the problem is that their standards are unrealistically high. one sister was saying she wanted a brother that was 6’ 5” — a very small percentage of Americans are that tall. Still it would be interesting to see where they are today. Maybe they decided to leave the black male gay capital of America to where more heterosexual black men live.😍

Always. And that’s true by definition. …okay. Since I have no idea who you voted for and what that person did not do I really can’t argue the point, but it does seem intellectually dishonest, but I’ll take you at your word. Whachu talking about Willis? I definitely want free medical insurance and I think every Americans should get it as wealthy as this country is. That also includes any benefits that can be provided to people who need them. as far as the rest of what you wrote, it diverges greatly from the original point, which was you feel that illegal immigrants get more benefits from America than Black people do. Again that is it idea that I don’t agree with. So are you telling me you would rather be an illegal immigrant from Mexico than a Black American…. Really?

Did you look here @Chevdove? https://aalbc.com/authors/Neely+Fuller%2C+Jr.

@Pioneer1 the distinction is not all that complicated. When people the word reality in the context, you’ve described they are talking about different perspectives on the same thing. Some people call those silos some people call them filter bubbles — different realities. It is not meant to mea literally different realities. It’s called a metaphor. I would be willing to bet money that taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius figures prominently, and your zodiac chart.

Absolutely not! that was what the smiley face was for. no two people have the same sense of humor, but yours is very different from mine. You seem to like cutesie comedy Like that mixed race couple with the baby. I’m sure a lot of people find that adorable, I’m just not one of them. The joke implied that the immigrants were illegal ones crossing the southern border. So no, I don’t think they’re getting benefits over Black Americans who like all Americans enjoy Social Security, low cost or free medical insurance, food assistance, housing assistance, unemployment benefits, and a variety of tax credits. Let me ask you this @Chevdove would you rather be who you are now, or an immigrant who just crossed the southern border illegally? Agreed. We should not bully each other nor call each other garbage or a basket of deplorable. You’re looking at it wrong @ProfD. Your focus on I or the individual is the problem. The strength of our vote comes from the collective. If the only people who voted were Klansman, what kind of country do you think that we would have? Yes, the kind of country we had before Black people were allowed to vote. Unfortunately, with our current set up those of us who refuse to vote for Trump, but can’t stomach voting for Kamala are only helping Trump. Obviously in the swing states this is crucial. Now, if you truly believe that there will be no difference between a Trump and Harris presidency and you don’t care who wins I can see you not voting. But it seems to me one would have to be pretty dim witted not to see a difference between the candidates and not to have a preference for one over the other.
