https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/05/trump-religious-right-republicans POTUS OJ spoke at the 2026 National Prayer Breakfast. He rambled on in his style for about 1 hour & 15 minutes. POTUS OJ mused about whether or not he'll make it into heaven. He doesn't believe he will but thinks he should because he's done a lot of good for people. Then, POTUS OJ goes on a 10-minute rant about the US military & bragged about its lethality. A National Prayer Breakfast is not the setting where people brag about their ability to kill others. Yet, while both parties were at the Breakfast, nobody in attendance said a word or booed or turned off his microphone. Instead, they clapped like trained seals. The evangelical right does not seem to use the Bible in the same way that other people do. Especially when it comes to bringing hurt, harm, danger & death & destruction to others.

The billionaires & global elite will do whatever it takes to protect their own & maintain the system. Bezos may have bought The Washington Post specifically for these times. The Ellisons bought CBS in order to control narratives & programming. It will be interesting to see &/or read The Washington Post a year or so from now. America appears to be on a slippery slope. A is being allowed to run this country into the ground.

okay. I understand now. the last video I posted, well, you have to click the bottom of it to see Vanessa Williams rock it with her dress. haha! Thank you @richardmurray for the thought, but I gotta do some serious exercising before I can even look at my past youth in those contest. It's just terrible! I am sitting here with my hair looking like 'Hell bent over backwards' and typing away, looking at the beautiful Vanessa Williams and we are about the same age. That sista making me feel bad. I gotta get up and do something about this! LOL.

No cognitive dissonance is required to hold more than two thoughts in my head at the same time. That is an understatement my dear. Yeah, apply your subject pioneer-race-scale to these women and enlighten us. All the while proving the absurdity different race

@Chevdove any photos of you in the bikini contest?:) haha Thanks for sharing some of your experiences with the topic. Vanessa Williams is also a harlemite of new york city, her father was a dentist if I am correct. and yes, anything that exist, if black people want to control have to own their own. HAving something black own doesn't mean black people are forced to use it, but it means black people have an option that is black owned and has different rules. @Pioneer1 I see:) i am dictatorial in my style, I stifle imagination with the structure of my posts ok I your commentary did not attack or offend the post. Talking about who contest beauty pageants is within the topic of beauty pageants. My point is that these two black owned beauty pageants have emphasized women who can not be deemed yella/white/mulatto while not excluding the range of all black women which are all shades of brown. And since they both exists in the usa, which is a white european country, I think they are fine examples of black ownership that is honest to the larger situation of black people. My offense to your point, is that your talking about black media pundits, not the black owned beauty pageants. Said pundits are mostly male, who are on white owned media outlets usually, with their most beautiful black woman is the yellaist black woman narrative... I don't connect black male pundits in white owned media to black owned beauty pageants. It isn't that your wrong in assessing media pundits, but said pundits don't have any connection to the activities of the black beauty pageants. What matters is that the black owned beauty pageants in the usa exist which emphasize the value of the phenotypical aesthetic most black women in the usa have. The black pundits in white media may be more well known or heard than black owned beauty pageants but that means nothing. If I can find the black owned beauty pageants anybody black can and in them you have the most positive qualities. Black ownership/ unmixed black aesthetic/embrace of the statian black experience/ positive financial quality as both are decades old now. What more can you ask for in the usa? in my mind nothing.
