I know it is a rhetorical question but for the sake of digital posterity, let's answer it. The Black people in those positions are not of low intelligence.😁 Those Black officers, lawyers and judges do not have the power to change the laws created by white supremacists. Some of those Black people are like overseers on the slave plantation. They willingly prove to white folks that they can be more harsh towards their own people.😎1 point

https://newrepublic.com/post/202059/maga-kash-patel-diwali-racism FBI Director Kash Patel was recently reminded that he is a person of color. He innocently acknowledged Diwali (Hindu festival of lights). In response, white racists recommended that Patel go back home. Fellow Brown man, Vivek Ramaswamy, who is either running for governor of Ohio or giving speeches at Turning Point USA rallies has also been reminded that he's non-white too. The most cruel joke white folks like to play on non-white people s leading them to believe they are accepted. White folks break their tools once finished with them. People of color are tolerated as long as they are serving the interests of white folks. Very similar to 15 minutes of fame. Of course, many people of color are comfortable with their place in the system of racism white supremacy.😎1 point

1 point@richardmurray, I read your event response to my post above. If you feel that my perspective is a lie or wrong or misguided, you're entitled to feel that way. As I've mentioned before, I'm not here to debate or recruit anyone to my point of view. I type my 2 cents in a given topic and keep it moving.😎1 point

1 pointThere is always competition under a system of capitalism. It is hard to predict new and emerging technologies and how it affects the way we do things. The pony express was replaced by faster forms of transportation. Trains and other vehicles worked out great for the postal service. The postal service employed millions of people directly and indirectly too. As mentioned above, the United Parcel Service (UPS) was started over 100 years ago as a delivery service. That business took off especially as gross consumerism ramped up. While the postal service could handle billions of pieces of mail and parcels annually, larger packages and faster delivery times required something different. A demand and convenience private companies were more than wiling to fulfill under a system of capitalism. IMO, long before the internet and mail, personal computers should have been viewed as the technology that would drastically alter the way we collect and store information (data) but also how we communicate. Email was invented back in the mid-1980s. Same goes for desktop publishing and digital storage. The analog world i.e. everything that required pen and paper; envelopes, stamps and book-binding would be changed a few short years later. I believe postal services will always be around. Just like other jobs with AI impending, the demand will shrink. Therein lies the blessing and curse of technology especially under a system of capitalism.😎1 point

Only my beloved people can look like chickens walking around the barnyard when they are dancing.🤣 50 Cent had a banger with that song. Black folks 8 to over 80, blind, crippled and crazy jam when that song is played.😁😎1 point

I would love to see Black folks collectively do better in terms of nation and wealth building. Realistically, I know that Black folks are way too fragmented for that to happen. It would take like-minded Black folks to join forces and get it cracking. Otherwise, Black individuals and tribes will continue doing their own thing and whatever that means in terms of success.😎1 point
