  1. Agreed. True, but for now, we are still stuck in the very system that conquered us, so we need help to stop the dysfunction from an outside source. I completely disagree. Humans exist in a social world and for this reason, we are dependent on each other to survive in some way form or fashion, and so for this reason, people cannot be successful in providing for their own family units without getting help from a larger organizational government that forms. If that government is fair, then from that perspective people in smaller groups should be able to provide for themselves. WOW. Thank you for this reply. Again, thanks for your input and your genius. The term 'bends historical reality' is an amazing insight! I do agree that some of our perspective about the plight of us, African Americans in America can be a confusion and distorts what may really be true!
  2. @Chevdove they always have, if you look at black people complaining about other black people it started in the 1800s from the most well off black people complaining that black people not well off had some erroneous behavior. This is why MLK jr for all of his nonviolence, for his nepobaby upbringing, was never made head of the southern black leadership conference, because he comprehended that black fiscal poor majority in the black populace in the usa have a financially inequal situation in the usa, built over centuries, that financially can not be deemed irrelevant. People talk about money but then want to disregard financial advantage whites have. https://aalbc.com/tc/events/event/356-mlk-jr-day-good-news-calendar/ @ProfD question, do you think our enslaved forebears should had children? based on your words, they shouldn't have wanted to bring children into this world far more than any other black people. And I do think it is a convenience if you suggest they were not able to choose to do so. My question is about their intent not ability. no a war between usa and china will have many boots on the ground, many boots. Remember, the wars the usa has fought since the end of the russian/usa armistice wars were never against a nuclear power. this is why , the usa will not put boots on the ground for ukraine. it isn't because the usa can't but the inevitable clash on the ground will swallow ukraine and lead to a true war, not these larg skirmishes the usa has with iraq/afghanistan/kosovo and company do you honestly think the usa which has mostly white people in it, will have most black people not working for white firms thank you for this quote. Pioneer at times speaks about black people with such a disdain, it bends historical reality. If a homeless black child with only the clothes on their back reads pioneers words they will think they can walk into a town where no blacks exist, or a town of mostly whites like nyc, and through their intelligence own every business , own all the land, in the town and non blacks will simply have succumbed to the intellectual powers of themselves just some clearly brilliant strategy. thank you again. I have said it before, Black History throughout humanity from the late 1400s to today is not simple. It isn't something for a financial ledger, this is complicated. It isn't failure and your wrong or failure and your stupid. I can speak for my bloodline and say, I had multiple business owners in my bloodline and things were not and are not a simple matter of out chessing non blacks. @Pioneer1 It is interesting you don't use the word powerful, you use smart, like a chessboard game, not power, which is why Black descended of enslaved are here. war is why, war is about power. intelligence has value but it is a bloody mess. A bullet can come from anyone. What makes you think intelligence can stop a bullet from a fool ? 7/11 is a japanese firm, it isn't indian, anyone can open up 7/11 s and from my eyes, 7/11s aren't the most popular convenience stores among black people. did you know black people in the usa were still enslaved to whites in the 1970s? Alice wasn't alone. you make black history in the usa like a fantasy. for the record, war is the way whites europeans did it and it worked pretty well from them everywhere in humanity. Cause those other ways you talk about don't get the same results as war based on current human history. I know people in many non black immigrant communities. I have not heard them speak of themselves as powerful. If anything I have heard of them pleading for whites to be nice to them. White jews are white people, they do not count. They are part of the white collective that enslaved black people , which is war. White asians did use war, Japan was the only non white european imperial power during the first two imperial white european wars yes? china is a nuclear power, the tides of immigration into the usa that occured after they became a nuclear power is based on that. India is a nuclear power, the indian government never signed the non proliferation treaty, and their immigration into the usa has only strengthened since then. Why do you think north korea/iran are doing it? why do you think israel already did it ? you think gaining a nuclear weapon isn't about war. And yes, once a country has a nuclear weapon it changes the status of that country and their citizens all over the world. that is why Iran wants one so bad, you would call iran stupid and they should focus on tricking the usa.
  3. Who said they were so "innocent"? For all we know, butterflies are just caterpillars who were slick enough to disguise themselves in wings and antenna to get out of paying credit card debts and car notes...lol. "Man...... This plan better work. Or I'm moving to Guatamala"
  4. ProfD Unfortunately, entrepreneurship is not heavily promoted among our people and often times frowned upon. Most of our people are taught to get a job or career working for someone else. Do most of our people work for others because they were TAUGHT this, or because they INCLINE towards it? Yet again, INTELLIGENCE becomes a factor we have to look at. Not sure about you, but since I was a kid I've heard Black folks give speeches and rallies ENCOURAGING Black folks to own their own businesses and work for themselves and build schools, hospitals, farms, own their own homes, etc.... This message has been made crystal clear for decades now. Perhaps the problem isn't in the TRANSMISSION ...... but in the RECEPTION...lol. "Say what??? What'cha saying nigga? I can't understand you! You talking funny, maaaaayne! I don't speak the same language as broke ass niggaz!"
  5. There's another super moon brightening up the skies, this one being referred to as the "Beaver Moon", the last and largest one of 2025. This picture was taken from my back porch. All the other images that the camera reflected in the photo are weird. Like an astral Rorscharch ink blot test. Not to mention what looks like a second smaller moon. Hummm. zzzzzzzzzzzz
  6. It has been an interesting month, so i have felt that need to watch the screen
