You can look at the way he's holding her in that photo and tell that something is a little "off" about that relationship....lol. What kind of man holds his woman at the shoulders, like Navy buddies? ....and look at that "smile" on his face. Lol, I know what it tells ME...what does it tell YOU??

I pasted the quote in the title of this post from the opening line of the video (below). George E. Johnson, founder of Afro Sheen, was at one time the richest Black man in America. His memoir came out a month ago, but I only learned about the book today. The video is quaint, but endearing, nonetheless. Afro Sheen: How I Revolutionized an Industry with the Golden Rule, from Soul Train to Wall Street by George E. Johnson

Right? It’s wild how tech is making everything more complicated. You’re basically jumping through hoops just to get basic services, all while being told to "protect your identity" with endless passwords. It’s like they’re setting you up to fail. And that biometric chip idea? Yeah, until thieves start treating it like a treasure hunt. Not sure if progress is the word for all this frustration.

They don't have to state what the world sees is plain and obvious now. When Donald Trump said men with money can do and say anything they want to women and they'll even let him grab them by the pussy -and over 53% of White women STILL voted for him, the entire world saw the type of loyalty that White racism can generate. The fact that poor White folks can continue to support politicians who do NOTHING for them and KEEP them poor...as long as they keep Black people "poorer" or out of their neighborhoods or locked up is another testimony to the pull and power of White racism. Trump is not only exposing the psychosis of White America and their racism and bigotry to the entire world but SHOW CASING it....lol.

Wait a cotton picking minute sista Mel....🤣 I knew she was a lawyer but didn't realize Michelle was a high profile figure before Barack Obama ascended into politics. Otherwise, there's no shortage of white women who give up their careers in law, medicine and other endeavors to support their husbands. To be clear, I'm not advocating that anyone should put their own goals and dreams on pause for someone else. A true partnership should be in alignment.😎

What's going to happen is a lot of people are going to get their finger tips chopped off by ruthless thieves who won't let THAT stop them from getting that bag.

POTUS Obama did just fine with FLOTUS Michelle and those two beautiful children running around in the White House. Yeah. He's driven by something different all right. I bet Ms. Lindsey Graham and Pete Booty-juice and the rest of the alphabet soup community know it too.🤣😎

Booker has been a politician for a long time now. He was mayor Newark, NJ. Surely, there was no shortage of snatch box thrown at the yella fella. He probably ran away from it screaming...ewww. Yuck.🤣 That dude's chick file is flimsy and his actions are suspect.🤣 Too many qualifiers. Heterosexual men don't list 3 girlfriends by name. Debbie, Carol and Sylvia reads like Charlie's Angels.🤣😎

Mel You know good and dog gone well that one half-sentence comment from richardmurray didn't warrant THAT long of a response...lol. You were just showing off and showing out....lol. I ain't mad at you though, I enjoyed reading the knowledge. A good book that goes into further detail of much of what you said is called The Chalice And The Blade by Riane Eisler Before Caucasians took over the world it WAS more egalitarian. Actually....every 25,000 years it switches from Matriarchal to Patriarchal....but that's a different subject all together. The patriarchal system was ushered in by the Caucasians because as a ruling class they had to maintain their "racial purity" and draw clear distinction between themselves and the people they conquered...which meant controlling their women and their women's sexuality. It's hard to maintain a system of racist rulership when the women are free to go around the land having sex with the men of the races you just conquered.

You might be surprised to learn that "universal equal rights" isn't a new concept. It was the way humans coexisted for nearly two million years. Men and women worked together, and there was a division of labor—and I don't mean women collected berries, and men hunted wild animals either—both did everything. Egalitarianism was the way of the world before patriarchy took over nearly 17,000 years ago. When patriarchy showed up, so did slavery, subjugation, storage, stealing, murder, marrying children, etc... If you consider the mythos of a God impregnating Mary against her will - then you can see what led grown men to believe they had permission to take children (girls) as their property for procreation, and boys as their sex toys for pleasure. This is all courtesy of patriarchy. Nubia, Ancient Egypt, had no such mythos. Remember, their belief was Ma'at, and their emphasis was on family, a consensual agreement of "Father, Mother, and Child." In fact, I haven't read any mythology of African gods taking advantage of humans unless it was a cautionary tale. Note: The cult of Isis/Aset ended in the second century of the Common Era, and the first assembled Bible came around the 4th century of the Common Era. At the same time, Ethiopians opened their first Christian church. Note: Ethiopians under Makeda (Candace), Queen of Sheba, were Pagans who worshipped the moon and the stars, but Ethiopia was also the center of trade -(so do with that what you will). Prostitution in patriarchy is a lot different than it was towards the end of the matrilineal/egalitarian society. Prostitutes were Temple Priestesses during the Cult of Isis/Aset. The Goddess Isis/Aset had the world In a chokehold from Kemet(Ancient Egypt) to Rome to Greece, and Roman rulers made sure they demonized women, their menstrual cycle, which was their source of power and wisdom, and their affinity for using serpents in their Sacred Temple ceremonies. We ended up with Eve and the serpent in the Pentateuch for Hebrews. We already know there was a kink in Adam and Eve's mythology because if not, their God wouldn't need to protect Cain from anyone outside their "tribe."
