  2. Playing devils advocate for a second, I think there are many women that can raise a boy into a man better than many men could. A cis-gendered heterosexual male is ideally raised by both parents. A boy raised without the influence of his mother is at a deficit. Most guys are not alpha males. It is difficult to make that term apply to a modern day man. Anybody with a lot of money will have many options when it comes to getting women and you don’t have to worry about getting your butt kicked because you can hire bodyguards. There will never be a shortage of sycophants and lackies at your beck and call. Donald Trump and Elon Musk are the ultimate alpha males in the scenario. They are not the strongest, best looking most righteous, but they are leaders of men. Donald Trump summoned Jim Brown and Jim kissed the ring. Sure he was an old man by then but still…
  3. Apparently, the bill is “veto proof,” so I guess they can go ahead and do the study. I don’t see the harm in doing the study. Seems to me it should be done at the National level, but the state level is better than nothing. Are they only gonna consider people who were enslaved in the state of Maryland? The other problem is where is Maryland gonna get the money to pay reparations Maryland State taxpayers? A study would address both of these questions and more. I don’t see how you can talk about cutting checks without at least looking at those two things. Speaking of supporters, one of the people mentioned in the article is a supporter of AALBC not Wes Moore, but one of the supporters of reparations, Nkechi Taifa. Makes sense huh?
  4. I would have vetoed the bill too. But probably not for the reasons the Governor did. As you alluded to, we don't need another "study" on Reparations. What do they need to "study"? They know how horrible Slavery was, the damage it did and is still doing....what more is there to "study"???? Cut the fucking checks! I would veto that mess and then have a press conference expressing how it's time for an ACTUAL Reparations Bill, not some damn "study".
  5. True, black men are not treated the same way as white men when they commit crimes, particularly when they’re poor. But in his high profile celebrity cases of Black people committing crimes against other Black people we are acting like they should get a pass simply because white men get away with crimes. We have video of Diddy kicking that girls’s butt. The girl is getting those multimillion dollar deals because Diddy has the money. If Diddy was broke, she wouldn’t have gotten that big payday and more than likely she wouldn’t be fu*king with Diddy the first place. That situation is all his fault. You can’t completely blame white media for that one did he dug his own grave.
  6. If by “modern day Buck breaking” breaking you mean raping and murdering other back people, then yeah. David Stewart, Robert f. smith, Ken Chennault, Reginald F. Lewis and many others achieved far greater wealth, but were never “buck broken” because they did not rape under age vulnerable children. Again there are giants of industry who you talk about. Why? I’ll tell you, because the racist greedy feed you get your “news” from does not talk about these brothers accomplished brothers. Rather they feed you a mountain of nonsense on the perverted criminal ones.
  7. Listen to these LOVERS of America bitch and moan because also being shuckers and jivers who, between constantly objectifying women, crow about black men being superior to males of other ethnicities, and who are now sulking because their fellow chauvinists can't control their "much-envied" sexual prowess the way certain other black men are able to do, thus providing newsworthy material for the dreaded white media which is controlled by the deep state racist conspirators plotting to demonize black men in order to keep them from acquiring the power they are too inefficient to acquire in the first place. HoHum. Same ol, same ol. What black folks need to do is ,,,.go find a deserted island and start their own country so they can fight amongst themselves without interference from dem bad ol white folks who have no intention of sharing their power with a sub culture of colorists debating who's black and who isn't. Obviously I'm not trying to win a popularity contest here. Since I've turned in my black credentials. I can spew the narrative of my tribe and keep on truckin'. What a wise man who should've said nothing, once let slip: "It is what it is."
  8. Senator Cory Booker and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries took to the Capitol Hill Steps before dawn on Sunday to discuss this latest budget proposal, which proposes cuts to health and human services programs. Congress returns from recess on Monday, April 28, 2025.

    The purpose in life is to do do the thing you are uniquely suited to accomplish. Meaning is defined by the individual.

    Humans are born into conditions created by their fellow beings. That goes for everything good and bad in the world. It only takes human benevolence to change a bad condition(s). Greed and hatred prevents it. Otherwise, people can be lifted out of poverty and despair and every other condition in the blink of an eye. Doing so would be the work of a higher power.😎
  11. If the committee chair recognized Rep. Crockett, she could ask questions or seek clarification about Oversight Chairman James Comer's ruling regarding Marjorie Taylor Greene's behavior. "I'm just curious, just to better understand your ruling," Crockett said. "If someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody's bleach blond, bad-built butch body, that would not be engaging in personalities, correct?" She asked a question about committee members' behavior while being as descriptive as possible to avoid confusion. Rep Jasmine Crockett never resorted to name-calling as MTG did when stating that Representative Sullivan's “I think your fake eyelashes are messing up what you’re reading.”. MTG was the only one out of place with that personal attack. #RobertRulesofOrder. Sometimes, you have to use the rules to get clarification. Bravo Rep Crockett!!! The House Oversight and Judiciary Committee still voted to advance resolutions that would hold AG Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for allegedly failing to comply with a subpoena to turn over audio recordings related to the classified documents cast against President Biden.
  12. Rep. Crockett soared like an eagle in her response to stupid azz Rep. MTG. 🤣 I respect former FLOTUS Obama's statement in general. Black folks do enough of that already. However, Black folks cannot continue the non-violent and silent treatment every time racists come for us. We have to clap back. Only way bullies will learn.😎
