LOL! No it didn't. He Knew Ali wouldn't do anything. Now if he did that to Shug Knight I'd agree with you 😉

Truly Black that My breast must ambition to speak kind, ripe, Black, questioning and an answer. Black Boy Black Girl So Black So light! They have no right to your eternities. With skin that turns like milk You be the flower, Black boy, Little Black girl that opens the way butter moves. So life So life Baby Black Boy Baby Black Girl: Did you know about sunrays?

Hello! I am new here. My name is Regina Shepherd, I am a poet from the Bronx, New York and am interested in a book review for my poetry collection called Lalibela. The ISBN-13 is 978-1724991010, the publication date is July 6, 2024 and it is a paperback priced at $10. Lalibela is an account of coming home. Inspired by stories from the Boogie Down Bronx, this collection is from the perspective of a Black female millennial that left home and returned to its dilapidated realities. Lalibela holds within its reams the fatigue and redemption of a working class family of the African Diaspora in the West: the lively avenues, bus routes, love lives and various cultures preserved in memory and in real-time, as if frozen in place from another, happier time. It creates a legacy of teaching its young hard truths about survival, identity, achievement, failure, faith, death, resilience, life, love and hate. Lalibela is an expression and legacy of survival. Within this small community with limited resources people ponder existentially, pray colossal prayers and resuscitate grit mouth-to-mouth. Say 'yes' to this invitation to come home to yourself, to find that sanctuary for a piece of mind and gain direction to the home that travels with us as we navigate our various and difficult realities. Come to, Lalibela. All are invited to purchase a copy on am*zon and leave a Customer Review to share how the pieces have affected them. Thank you so much for your consideration and support! Here's to building community! -Regina

@ProfD your welcome for the proper reporting:) @aka Contrarian Well this is two wars. the USA+UK started the war between palestineans side zionists, it is a war that has been going on since 1920 between the palestinean muslim and the zionist jew. but it was not started by either, it was started by the usa+uk. uk could have easily blockaded the zionist knowing fully well, the palestineans didn't want them as photos of palestinean protest show. the usa did their part by allowing finances and resources to zionist populations. the rest is inevitability. A war that has gone on for one hundred and five years, like the hundred years war between england and france with various interbellums [moments between the war, some call ceasefires, some falsely call peace] the war between iran and israel was started by the usa when they supported the shah whose governing quality created the ayotollah, but as the jordan current king said, his father warned the shah and the shah didn't heed, so everybody in the region and by some three letter people [ central intelligence agency] of the security industry in the usa knew too but it wasn't heeded for whatever reason and the ayotollah took over and embarrassed the security industry in the usa. And the second the ayotollah took over he opposed iraq/saudi arabia/israel/usa and that was when the war between israel /iran started but it wasn't started by iran or israel, it was started by the usa who was so concerned about oil and having israel + iran as satraps that the condition of the iranian majority was second fiddle and the whitephile or europhile fiscally wealthy iranian minority that was wearing mini skirts or rock and rolling were told to go into gilded shadows or leave. but the usa started the iran+ israel war. You are correct war doesn't breed heroes or villains, good guys or bad guys, that is very wise, but it isn't fanatacism or power hungry leaders. It is more than that. It is about identity. Unlike Black descended of enslaved whom seem to like internal conflict in their populace, some peoples want their populace to have a cohesion that warrants the word community. and that means when others are around who want to challenge that identity you have to fight, you have to kill, to make sure you reach or maintain the identity you want. Iran doesn't want to have usa military bases in their country like saudi arabia/qatar. Iran don't want to have arrangements with israel nor do they want israel in the region. Iran wants palestineans to get palestine back. Iranians want to have the tools to deter the usa from attacking iran cheaply. that is identity and since war is the only way, then war is a good way.

Oh my, so you’re going to listen to Terrence Howard over the scientific community? Profd this is exactly what I was talking about in my other post crackpots like Terrance Howard gets a massive audience on Joe Rogan’s podcast and people are completely misled. The Covid vaccine simply does not go into the nucleus of the cell and modify one’s genes. in middle school, we learned about the structure of the cell the cell wall, the mitochondria the nucleus… I don’t know what to say…. The one potential saving grave of these anti-cancers is that maybe they’ll catch smallpox and be dropped from the gene pool.

Sure. My point is that outside of boxing for Ali and music for Sly what they have to say about anything else less is less interesting to me than what you have to say. That’s just based on age and experience alone. Whenever black celebrities have something to say on subjects they have little expertise in they get more attention than a more attention than a black person with expertise in the discipline.. Terrence Howard wrote some nutty stuff about how he reinvented math and it’s all over the Internet. He’s being interviewed on these ideas Neal Degrasse Tyson even talked about it for 30 minutes on his podcast. He tore apart, but he still gave it his attention?! Same thing with Kanye West whatever nonsense he has to spout is covered on national television just because he makes music that people enjoy. So they have a musician and a boxer up there with a senator they could have Barbara Jordan on the show but again white people don’t wanna see Barbara Jordan they wanna see a prize fighter and a musician. It really is no different today.

Coincidence. The longer we live the closer we get to death. Nobody lives forever regardless of what they do or not.😎

Do you SERIOUSLY think that man is going to leave office? Voluntarily?

Perhaps the media is "ignoring" it because only one person got killed. As sad as it is.....especially for that one person and their loved ones....shootings have become so common that unless it involves MULTIPLE deaths...it barely makes the news at all.

This provides context to the Ayatollah's proclamation of a *victory*. When I initially heard about the Ayatollah saying Iran slapped the US, I wondered if he was smoking that Islamic hemp.🤣 Now, I understand the Ayatollah's thought process from the perspective of the Iranian resistance to the 2-headed devil that attacked them.😎

Two hours? No mention of science fiction. 🤣
