  1. “There is no such thing as a race.” —Dr. John Henrik Clarke, Author, Historian, Educator @Pioneer1 and anyone else who might reject the so-called "white man's science" and continue hold on to the concept of race. Perhaps you will consider the words of Dr. Clarke.
  2. What is upward mobility? Having more money to buy consumer trash that impresses people that you compete with? Damn I forgot, I need a Rolex watch. How much of the economy is status games? As far as I am concerned as long as people are not talking about planned obsolescence they are not talking about how the economy works. We are supposed to pay to live on Stolen Land Forever!?
  3. Obviously, the most accurate definition of race is: "a term that describes what some people believe doesn't exist"
  4. He did HIS job. He can't save everybody. For over 50 years he's been showing brothers and sisters the right way to form and raise families, get off drugs, stay out of trouble and prison, and live productive and for the most part successful lives. THOUSANDS of Black men and women can attest to this and are very thankful for his efforts. Infact back in 1995 he called over a million Black men to show up to D.C. and told them to go back home, take care of their families, leave the drugs alone, become leaders in their communities, and BUILD. How many of them followed that advice? Like any minister, if he gives you the word...it's up to YOU to listen to it and follow the advice. Now if YOU choose not to do that....that's more of a reflection of YOU and not HIM.
  5. The master teacher Dr. John Henrik Clarke always brought the receipts in terms of knowledge and wisdom. Like a religion, Dr. Clarke's teachings should be required learning among all Black people early in their lives. White power (supremacy) was established many centuries ago. Racism is a by-product of it. Black folks having the real knowledge of ourselves from the beginning of creation and the willingness to fight for freedom are the prerequisites for escaping from the prison of and dismantling the system of white supremacy.😎
  6. The problem is tool manufacturers are selling tools to others who are willing to put humans out of work. Robots on assembly lines. Self-checkout in grocery stores. Kiosks and automated call centers. ChatGPT writing term papers and resumes. AI generating music. Self-driving vehicles. The list of tools is growing. Nobody should be surprised when the human labor force becomes unnecessary. People think it will be great if/when they don't have to work. Folks who have money will be fine. The question becomes how will those who don't have money already survive when their labor is no longer needed because they have been replaced by a robot or AI or another tool.😎
  7. Are these two really beefing on social media like two immature middle schoolers? Crazy!
  8. Trust me, the Nation of Islam gets on Black folks but in a positive and corrective way. Not in a way that reinforces the low self esteem that so many of our people already suffer from. They do it with CORRECTIVE criticism. They just don't do it in public....and they shouldn't. Family business stays IN the family. If your child steals something or lies, you don't drag them to the middle of the block and whoop them in front of the entire neighborhood. You take them behind closed doors, let them know what they did was wrong, and THEN you go to "work" on that ass -if need be (sometimes punishment isn't needed depending on the child) You don't go all over Youtube dissing your own people and calling them "no good niggaz" and "baby mamma makers" like Jesse Lee Peterson and Pastor Manning. When you love somebody you firmly but humanely point out their errors while at the same time offering them the correction and solution and a better way to talk and live. I don't think anybody else on here...atleast anyone who posts here on a regular basis...criticizes our people like I do, lol. But I do it HERE...among family. Like Malcolm X said...you get behind closed doors with your family and TALK SHOCK. I'll tell you QUICK that a lot of these niggaz are dumb as hell and ain't shit. But I don't go in White spaces saying that or talking about how silly and criminal minded a lot of our people are because it only benefits White folks who enjoy hearing it. Hearing and seeing the dysfunction of our people makes White folks feel better about themselves and superior. When you go to a NOI Temple/Mosque one of the first things they do is line you up and search you and your belongings from head to toe and even manhandle you if you resist. And then they'll explain to you WHY there's a search procedure because of the crime and vices and immorality in the community. They're trained to deal with the hard headedness and rebelliousness of our people.
  9. An expert fascist would certainly recognize it. General Milley could recognize a fascist when he observed one. This man cannot see stupid when he looks in a mirror. 🤦🤯😡 Calling Newsome by Newscum is more like 3rd grade. This would be funny if these assholes were not screwing up the country and the planet. Hollywood would not make something this stupid and expect people to pay to watch it.
