    Outside the Operation Push headquarters, Chicagoans assembled by the hundreds, the lines blocks long, beginning at 10 am this Thursday morning, all gathered to pay homage to one of their favorite adopted sons, Jesse Louis Jackson, who lie in state inside the building that was his domain for over 50 years. Dignitaries like Al Sharpton and commoners, old and young, mostly black, a smattering of whites including Chicago's Catholic cardinal made up the growing crowd expected to stream pass Jesse's casket for the rest of the day until 10 pm, the first of several ceremonies at various locations including Washington DC, and South Carolina, his birthplace. A few states have even ordered their flags to be flown at half mast. Jesse Jackson leaves behind a noteworthy legacy as a diligent civil rights warrior who twice ran for President, and who in 2008 stood in tears among the huge Chicago crowd gathered to celebrate Barack Obama's election victory. Jesse had his critics but few could deny his love for his people. He fought the good fight before passing at age 84. May he rest in power.
  2. Yes is the Western world and their statement that many scientific professionals report yet they rarely state the obvious that all scientist confirm and that would be 'eyewitnesses or lack thereof.' In other words, if there were no humans until after the earth split, even it were millions of years ago', then this would only be 'a wild guess'. If there are NO humans who existed in other parts of earth other than Africa until after the earth split, therefore, this would not even be a theory because, a scientific theory would have some sets of proofs based on a 'control group' which would be ancient records that would have to come from ancient scribes in Africa being the first civilization; people who kept records of humans. So where are the ancient records about these Primitive humans that did not write or keep records that began in a distinct continent; Africa? But here are other questions that reveal this prepared statement about Pangaea, a super continent, stated by modern scientist to be uninhabited by no humans until after it split. If it did not begin to split until 2 million years ago, then [1] Why are there mounds, archaeological structures, all over the world constructed almost exactly, or very similar like the ones in ancient Egypt which would have the same dates and timelines, proving humans used the same shared skills and transfer of ideas and knowledge of which was transferred back and forth on the planet earth, likely before it split? The Egyptian mound builders, mounds in ancient China, the mounds in the ancient Americas, and the temples in Iraq have similar dates, showing that ideas were transferred over land and that the earth could not have split at this time which was around the 3000s B.C. And so, by this time, the Homo Erectus were long gone. Who can prove, scientifically, that they began in Africa when, prior to the 3000s AD, there was NO Africa as a separate continent? University of California, Berkely Tests confirm humans tramped around North America more than 20,000 years ago preserved in mud in New Mexico were made by humans thousands of years before any people were thought to be in the Americas By Robert Sanders https://news.berkeley.edu/2023/10/05/tests-confirm-humans-tramped-around-north-america-more-than-20-000-years-ago/#:~:text=Find an expert-,Tests confirm humans tramped around North America more than 20%2C000,of the last Ice Age. The University of Arizona Footprints found at White Sands National Park in New Mexico provide the earliest unequivocal evidence of human activity in the Americas and provide insight into life over 23,000 years ago. The findings are described in a Science journal article co-authored by University of Arizona archaeologist Vance Holliday. https://news.arizona.edu/news/earliest-evidence-human-activity-found-americas#:~:text=Footprints found at White Sands,of Arizona archaeologist Vance Holliday. Did Homo Sapiens interbreed with Homo erectus to produce fertile offspring? No, humans did not live on Pangea. . Pangea existed approximately 335 to 175 million years ago, while the first hominids appeared only about 6-7 million years ago and Homo sapiens appeared only about 300,000 years ago. AI Overview Based on geological, biological, and archaeological evidence, there are no written records or any other evidence of human civilization existing during the time of Pangea. AI Overview [2] And then what about the Cave Depictions. The dates all across the world of cave depictions prove, byway of archaeological studies, that they can be dated. Therefore these ancient drawings should reflect some proof *****Note: I'm falling to sleep, so I will finish later.
  3. The craziest part is the BAFTA is pre-recorded prior to broadcast. They edited out anything political &/or profane. Yet, they did not edit out the supposed Tourette's Syndrome outburst. The guy yells out n8gger when the show is dead silent & at the moment 2 Black actors are onstage. Neither the guy nor BAFTA offered a real apology for the outburst. Black folks haven't demanded it. Just another reminder that we still have a long way to go when it comes to racism. Hope it is not being normalized & accepted.😎
  4. Does the Black populace in the United States of America today, 2026, need an organization like what Malcolm suggested, the OAAU? If brother Malcolm was still leading it.....we absolutely need one. What lessons would Malcolm learn from the Organization of African Unity that he didn't witness after his murder? Many lessons. Among them......... 1. How deep and fully law enforcement can infiltrate Black organizations. 2. How petty and jealous AfroAmericans can be with eachother, even when it comes to important issues and situations. 3. The need to properly vet his security.
  5. Banks exist to hold & lend money. Either they serve their purpose or not. The worst bank will fail. As I've mentioned before, I'm not beholding to any rules in my responses to threads. Law enforcement would be less inclined to run up in Black folks' homes or anywhere else knowing they might be armed. Mass shooters walk into Black churches & neighborhoods because they know those places are soft targets. Beyonce's career did not generate billions of dollars based whatever crime you believe her mother committed. Jay-Z did not make billions of dollars hustling in the streets. Jay-Z earned his fortune being one of the most gifted MCs in Hip-Hop music. Your question was about a hostile takeover of a Black-owned business financed by whites. I was referring to unity as it relates to the OAAU or whatever organization. Unity only applies to the Black folks who want to be a part of it. Nobody can force Black folks to be part of the OAAU or anything else. There have been Black elected officials who served their jurisdiction and looked out for Black folks in a major way too. The Black elected officials I'm referring to did everything from affordable housing to job programs to giving multimillion dollar contracts to Black-owned businesses. Those Black elected officials empowered a lot of Black people within their jurisdiction.
  6. I answered the question as presented...investing in solar power in space. If wealthy people are willing to pay non-wealthy people to work in space, surely some will go in order to make money & get away from the issues here on Earth. IMO, humans are at least a century away from being able to offer large-scale employment in space. Same goes for smaller investment opportunities.😎
