Racism and Poverty .....Inadequate Legal Representation - Prison Industrial Complex While Black people make up just 13.6% of the U.S. population, they accounted for 53% of exonerated people. Similarly, of the approximately 240 people the Innocence Project has helped free or exonerate, 58% are Black.......Five years ago, the organization found that innocent Black people were seven times more likely to be wrongly convicted of murder than innocent white people. The new report found that those odds have worsened slightly since, with Black people now being 7.5 times more likely to be wrongly convicted of murder and eight times more likely to be wrongly convicted of rape than white people. https://innocenceproject.org/nre-national-registry-exonerations-report-2022-racism-criminal-system/ Racism , Alienation and low teacher expectation.. in the educational system of the United States, students are dependent persons, and educators are independent persons. The system creates expectations and evaluates outcomes based upon ideas, beliefs, and values generally accepted by the dominant culture of the school......More than any other time in U.S. history, Black students are being educated by people who are not of their racial or cultural background......Research on effective teachers of Black students emphasizes, among other things, the teachers’ collective belief that Black students’ potential will not be realized in classrooms where teachers view Black students from a deficit perspective.......Compounding the problem of some White teachers’ cultural misunderstanding or indifference, additional research suggests that the gap between White teachers and Black students is exacerbated by powerful social conditioning that cultivates actual negative attitudes towards Black students https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ839497.pdf Please post a link to those stats as I am unable to find a correlates...so that I may properly address your query Black communities are both over policed, targeted, and under police .....Prison Industrial Complex Below is an example that is replete throughout the USA Criminal Justice System 1) In Ferguson, race had everything to do with who was stopped by police, and whom they used force against African Americans made up 67 percent of the population, but between 2012 and 2014, they made up 85 percent of the people pulled over by police. Between 2012 and 2014, black drivers were twice as likely to have their cars searched, but they were 26 percent less likely to have contraband. Between 2010 and August 2014, 88 percent of the documented use of force was against African Americans. Every time a person was bitten by a police dog, the person was black. The FPD brought certain charges almost exclusively against African Americans. For example, in 2013 black residents made up a full 95 percent of manner of walking in roadway charges, and 94 percent of all failure to comply charges. Between 2011 and 2013, African-American drivers got 72 percent of the speeding tickets when radars or laser verification were used, but when tickets were based on officers' personal observations, they got 80 percent of the tickets. 2) None of this could be explained by any differences in the rate at which people of different races violate the law It's not just that black people commit more crimes. "Our investigation has revealed that these disparities occur, at least in part, because of unlawful bias against and stereotypes about African Americans," the report concluded. https://www.vox.com/2015/3/4/8149337/doj-ferguson-report-police-racism I have seen both black and white moms lose their kids for Neglect and or Abuse.

@thewolfxxNobody owes you any explanations, especially since you wouldn't accept them because you are so deeply afflicted with the cognitive dissonance that is exacerbated by the Dunning Kruger syndrome which has you in its grip, and identifies you as a neurotic fool.

Racist whites who refuse to recognize that they are socialize to make judgements based on color - A legacy left us by our past as a Racist Society

There's no shortage of our sistas out here killin' it and winning in the game of life. Kudos to all of our sistas and brothas who are making it happen in their respective areas.

I believe white people are allowed to have conspiracies, especially ones they talk about openly, because it keeps them on their toes about the world being out to get them. This way, they can hold onto the power they have over the world since they are constantly paranoid and therefore justifying every war and battle they start. Black people, on the other hand, would have a ton of conspiracies about what white people really do and are up to as the ruling power of the world but the closer you get to the truth, the more they shut it down and assassinate. So I think it leaves a lot of black people talking about some of the same conspiracies as white people or repeating old conspiracy that aren't exactly true anymore. I know plenty conspiracy about whites and their true nature and why they are so violent and lie so much about that violence and other things, but I keep from talking about a lot publicly because they are always watching and looking to make anyone against their evil agenda seem crazy. Plus, I just think black people are more trusting because we haven't built up nearly as much bad "karma" as whites have piled on. They know they have to pay for what they do to this world, for all they have stole and never repaid, for all the pollution and extinction, for all the deception and projection, and so they're always gonna be looking over their shoulder wondering who it is will finally get them. But they will get themselves because evil always implodes.

Black folks should not allow themselves to be put on the defensive and subjected to specious arguments where their opponents set the standards and make the rules. Screw IQ scores which can't predict how any given person would respond at any given time to any given situation. Even with the leg up of privilege and entitlement, whites cannot best African Americans when it comes to surviving and even thriving under adverse conditions. I'm sure these nit picking trolls are INCEL members. They are so full of hate because they are frustrated losers who women are repulsed by.

Yes, cameras are everywhere, script is everywhere about how Whites have brought blacks to America as little children and exploited us and now deny this. Your end though, it very near. Yes, and you know why but being a supremacist you want to believe in a lie. But your end is very near. America will not continue to exploit Black people and set them up to kill each other for long. @SpeakHerTruth is not lacking intelligence at all because she understands you're origins. The continent of Africa is where the Slave Ship Trade was set up BY WHITE DEVILS who have been in that continent for thousands of years bringing in their deception. So it's not hard to understand that Africans have the same pattern of Black Hatred. Big Deal. All of this will end though. White Supremacy will end. The mistake our ancestors made was to let you into our lands but they were decieved.

This is my preferred definition: Racism is not bigotry nor bias nor prejudice. It's when one group has the power to institutionalize and enforce bigotry, racial bias or racial prejudice. Black folks can practice bigotry, bias or prejudice against others but they don't have the power to make these slurs public policy.

@SpeakHerTruth Not surprising, i don't agree with what you insist "changes things". Jada is at the heart of this controversy by virtue of being the motivation for her long-suffering husband's attempt to impress her with his pseudo display of manhood, and she has forfeited her right to be respected by making no secret of and showing no shame for sleeping with her son's good friend. And since she flaunts what is achieved by shaving her head, as opposed to suffering from the actual baldness that occurs in serious cases of alopecia, any claim to her being a sympathetic figure is bogus, particularly since the character Chris Rock compared her to was a heroic one. To me and a whole lot of other Blacks, maintaining his self control and making the decision to quell a bad situation was admirable of Chris - who could possible have taken on the "David" role to Will's "Goliath" persona inasmuch as he grew up in the hood. Moreover, deciding to keep his thoughts about the situation to himself was not only a profitable move on Chris' part, but a wise one because, unlike Will, he exhibited impulse control in order to collect his thoughts. I don't expect to change your mind about any of this, but in stating my opposing stance, i would also argue that the last person to whom all of this really matters is the detached, self-absorbed Jada who has always treated Will like a door mat and couldn't care less what people think. You give the impression of being more indignant than she does. LOL I would further disagree that nothing worse than this incident wherein violent physical contact was made before one participant yelled the f-word at the other, has ever happened at the Oscars which I have been watching for over 50 years! Finally, Kudos to Chris Rock's end game. He made a bunch of money and a legion of new fans. More power to him.

Definitions of ALL words change depending on who is in power and or what the majority thinks the definitions are. I study many many different philosophies and many of them often contradict eachother but I give them each their due respect. However I have my own definitions for certain things. This is necessary to avoid confusion within one's self. The next step....to avoid confusion with OTHER people...is to find out what THEIR definition of a word is so that you both can establish an agreement on the terms used. My personal definition of racism is relatively simple: Racism = Negative thoughts, speech, or actions towards others primarily because of their race.

i question whether most women would want their husband to make a public spectacle of himself on the biggest night of his career. Especially since Chris' remark, comparing Jada to Demi Moore's G.I. jane character wasn't really disrespectful.

White people: "They are so inferior!! We are the best!" Non whites: *Has civilization and women and gold* Whites: "Steal it. Rape them. Bomb everything."

It was a complicated situation for Chris. He was obviously caught off guard. He was hosting the Oscar’s and he was probably scared. No one really knows how they would react in that situation. So i can’t be too critical of Chris’s reaction. i know when i saw the slap it made me angry. Usually i could care less about celebrity dysfunction. But i loss a lot of respect for will that’s night. Will did not make Chris respect his wife. You apparently have not seen his recent stand up.

@ProfD Where are you getting your info about older women? From anecdotal old wives tales? Certainly not from Gynecologists. Unlike pioneer, you don't usually make "off-the-top-of-your-head" claims. First of all, how age affects their sex lives differs from woman to woman. Not all females age the same. Their genes and metabolism and hormones and health have a big impact on their libido. And for those so inclined, there are over the counter preparations available to rejuvenate their sex appeal and facilitate intimate contact. Age really is just a number. As rich as Cher is, she could afford the plastic surgery that would make her as good as new "down there". Plus, this isn't the first boy toy she has had. So don't cast her as a "has-been". I find it typical that men can speak with such authority about something they have never tried. They shouldn't be so quick to judge and ridicule and underestimate the ability of an older woman to turn a young guy on. They'd do well to keep in mind that females can look up much longer than males can look down. Sex is no longer an activity I have any interest in because - men tend to get on my nerves, not because i'm "incapacitated". Believe it or not. I'm trying to fall in love with Jesus but he's playin hard to get. Woe is me. @Chevdove Right!

I wish American legislators were as aggressive with the misinformation propagated on American platforms. TikTok is a threat in terms of revenue, as Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube are all trying to mimic the platform. They are all manipulation engines designed to generate profit. Are we afraid that China will use the data against us to spread misinformation in the United States? Facebook has already allowed Russians to do this. AALBC in recent weeks has become a platform where misinformation is being propagated. Someone posted here that the average IQ on the African Continent is 70! I had half a mind to delete that false information but chose not to. I felt the person who made the post really believed what they were posting, as opposed to being a racist troll just trying to crap on these forums. It is a very thin line between those behaviors, and it is more art than science trying to discern the difference. Like most people, the person who posed that fake fact will not have their mind changed. My only hope is that someone who reads that nonsense will read the arguments against and learn something. @frankster has been invaluable in dispatching those racist arguments. To prevent the ideas from being expressed is to make believe they do not exist and limits one's perspective.

Do you all believe in beating the snot out of... I mean, spanking your child? I don't have children(yet), but I don't trust a lot of new gen ideas that only talking to children teaches them correction. I believe that works with some children who have the sweetest demeanor but others, who live to cause destruction, need a more... Uh, stern lesson? What's your opinions?

Purple Mountain Comet??? Sounds like a Cosmic bag of Skittles being release on the planet....lol.

Yes Racism is design to keep the black man down....we concur on that. But that's not its primary purpose.....Makin Money is its real Purpose Who/whom Profits from the suffering of the Black people? True Whites have been a minority in South Africa for years... Power comes from controlling the means of Production(economy) and Communication(media). Zimbabwe is the first Africa country to try and take back its Economy......South Africa has yet to do so They are to a lesser extent.....depending on how white they are thought to be, or according to political expediency of the Times. Gangsta Rap is not Black Culture...it's a Racist commercial venture Labelled as Hip Hop. If as the sayings goes a "picture is worth a thousand words" I can reference many hollywood movies with "smacking hoes" and "robbing a n***a" - Westerns/cowboy and Games like Mortal Kombat. If you haven't Realize that Racism is One of Biggest Industry In America... then you have lived long but being drinking the "kool aid" the whole time hook line and sinker. Rap music was originally progressive but Racist studio executives thought to make money shifted direction to promoting what was label "gangsta rap" an expression of a dysfunctional maladaptation to ghetto life. the new chairman of Time Warner's music division yesterday dismissed Doug Morris, the chief executive of the division's United States operations.......Mr. Morris is one of the company's staunchest defenders of the gangsta genre, which is known for its sometimes violent and sexually degrading lyrics. https://www.nytimes.com/1995/06/22/business/the-media-business-a-defender-of-gangsta-rap-is-dismissed-at-warner-music.html I congratulate you and your family.. Black people are the hardest working people I know....from my experience. The Truth is not an excuse....If anything it is an obstacle we overcome. You don't....That's for sure. You speak only for yourself...Here and Now. Are You a Racist? Black people are under attack from people who make money from Racism... That affects me. In order for then to continue doing so "they blame the Victim" and Criminalize and Pathologize Black Culture. With billions of Dollars at their disposal it is easy to convince the questioning and recruit the willing. You have yet to show a part of Black Culture that's "ugly" Are Hollywood Action Movies ugly to you?

I don't know about anybody else but, I am personally trying to tackle this issue!

Hmm I got so much to say... where to start... My perception of dating now is that it's severely broken. Here's why from my point of view. Do not court someone and expect them to chase you. Too many men in my gen do this. And it is ridiculous. They will approach you, and after so many times talking, expect you to prove yourself as to why you'd make a good wife to them. Like they want you to chase them, beg them, and do wifey things for them. If I was the one courting him, I'd understand, but he walked into my life. Not the other way around. You're supposed to be convincing me that when you propose I should say yes, while also seeing if I'm actually the one you wanna propose to. It didn't used to be that way, but too many guys think they're slick and irresistible. I also don't like that men in my generation want a traditional modern woman. It's one or the other. Like, the black community is very matriarchal and so women are expected to work as hard if not harder than men, but then we're expected to submit and pretend like the community is patriarchal and do the cooking and cleaning all by ourselves to prove our womanhood. If you want a traditional woman you have to be a traditional man and take on the "outside" duties and responsibilities. You can't expect me to work along side you and then take on all housework by myself. I know some who live like that and I'm not doing it. That's a scam. We split evenly in duties, or you take yours and I take mine. My own mother was a housewife and wasn't expected to do anything but housework. Cooking, cleaning, decorating, organizing, HOUSEWORK. And she was at it. I always wanted to be that, but with this world as it stands I don't think I will. Plus, there's the difference in opinion in when sex is supposed to happen. So many men now think just cause you like them that means you drop your panties or it's not sincere. There's no build, no playfulness, no sparks, no crush, no butterflies to a lot of dating anymore. Just "let's go out, eat, text, eat again, fnck, then never talk again." I've seen and heard about it too many times and I refuse that lifestyle. It's self destructive. So yeah, that's just my take. I'm sure others have their own experiences with the dating world.

Come on. Cher may still be "viable". A lot depends upon whether or not your ovaries are still producing estrogen. Nowadays 70 is the new 50. i really don't like to discuss my personal life but - as a widow in my 70s, i had a boyfriend in his 60s - and i never got any complaints. He's dead now and i'm still kickin'.

I hope y'all don't believe she's serving up anything good at this point in her life. Dude is a paid companion. Easy work. He doesn't even have to beat that box up.

my friend when has your opinion ever been changed. your definition of manhood is reminiscent of the ole honor culture when men dueled over perceived islights. yeah i agree, but the brother was clearly hurt. I would not be surprised iif he regrets not letting Will get areested, rather than being presented with an award… this his why the man is very wealthy. he saved massa’s oscars yeah condescending, as if people can’t see the exact same thing but perceive it differently. hummm… interesting point, but these were Chris’ words too.

exactly, @SpeakHerTruth anyone who knows a woman who is a competitive martial artists , any style, knows she is muscular. That chun-li has no muscle I can see it the beginning of the story P.B.: "Ohh piglet , I need to get to the honey" Piglet: "Pooh! , that big blue creature is coming for you" P.B. "Don't worry Piglet..I will just sit and be cute " TO BE CONTINUED:)

none of you have mentioned one thing, the issue is dead. Will Smith or Chris Rock have nothing left to do. If Chris Rock calls Jada Pinkett a bitch in the next special, then he is being petty or trying to manufacture a scenario. If Will Smith finances a film where a black comedian has to protect himself from those his jokes insult then his remorse wasn't true. It's over, Jada Pinkett smith was insulted by a black man on a national platform for no reason at all, Jada Pinkett had her honor defended by her husband which cost him some status and cost her some status, they are still maried, and the man who insulted her did it far worse afterword. But, all three are healthy, financially wealthy, and can move on now, outside the inevitable question from poor pundits but it's over

Another original member of the P-Funk mob has left this existence. Thanks for the music. RIP Fuzzy Haskins.

"Whooaah! We didn't know ANY of that until you told us! Thanks for the education. That really changes our opinions about the entire ordeal! Lol......

Absolutely! Those who designed these machines know EXACTLY Who the intelligence is behind them even if they don't tell the public. I believe that's really what CERN and many of these other research institutes are about. Figuring out ways to gain knowledge and higher technology from the Spiritual world and bringing it into this one so they can have more power over other people. That's what Hitler and the Nazis were trying to do. What they fail to understand.....which is common sense to me.....is that a mere human being CAN'T CONTROL these Spirits they are interacting with. These Spirits are much more intelligent, older, wiser, and stronger than them. It's kind of like a bunch of ants or worms trying to come up with some "technology" to use humans to their advantage......an absolute joke.

Reparations for ADOS involves more than cash payments to individuals. Real reparations would also include an infrastructure investment for guaranteed housing, healthcare, education full voting rights, etc. It's my belief that the reparations conversation as put forth in California is political and making a mockery of it.

Oops you dropped this All the things you promised All the love I gave, I saved Even after you left Damn it's broken The commitment you tried Every covered up lie Every shallow little theft Now it's crumbled Any thought I had Thinking it's not bad That you dropped my heart Straight to the trash 'Cause it's nothing to be fixed You're an ass and a dick And your breath smells like fart

@SpeakHerTruth You're entitled to your sentiments about men. they are good for emptying the garbage and changing light bulbs.

Well, Trump is apparently capitalizing on the imminent possibility of his being arrested, and is urging his followers to stage demonstrations in protest over what he considers a "witch hunt". it will be interesting to see how this plays out. I think he is going to embrace the martyr role.

When he's behind bars......THEN I'll believe it. Until then, it's just sensationalism.

You're right......lol...you're young as hell. 31 is a baby.

Stop. Lmao Lemme hope I don't become easy pickins for no youngin

Thanks to Delano's video, I got to see the slap over and over again in full context Not only hasn't my opinion changed.....it's been SOLIDIFIED. The way he smacked Chris for clowning on his wife and then swaggered off the stage straightening up his suit......lol....looked like something out of a Denzel Washington movie. Will earned his respect as a "grown ass man" as far as I'm concerned. Chris can tell all the jokes and talk all the shit he wants, but Will MADE his point. Infact, when Will told him to keep his wife's name out of his mouth, Chris stood up there and said "OK, I will".....showing you the point was made. Now for him to go around on the chit'lin circuit telling crusty jokes about Jada a year after the fact.....that's kinda punkish in my opinion. He should have just shut up and moved on from the incident. Now if this beef starts to escalate.....it's all on Chris.

No, it was not disrespectful! Jada is very pretty and that joke did not take away from her at all! @Delano Thanks for the video! Yes, Chris saved that oscars, he really did. and, I view him as a hero for his composer. However, now that I heard that video of the producer speaking about LAPD, oh yes, Will Smith could have been arrested, but it was Chris who chose not to press charges. And, I was wrong when I had said that Chris was assaulted, and did not realize it until the video. Someone once explained to me that if someone steps to you as if to hit you then THAT IS AN ASSAULT. But it they hit you then it becomes BATTERY!!! I also believe too, now that Will should have been made to leave and not been allowed to remain in his seat. That should not have been Chris' decision, but the producers should have tapped Will on his shoulders and led him out!

White people: "Go back to your own country!! " Non whites: *living in own country* Whites: "See yeah, that's not gonna work. Live how we live and put OUR leaders in your office or suck on this fat throbbing nuke it's new white order all day"

White people: *Maim, rape, kill, torture, deceive every nation they land in and then settle quietly in colonies* Non whites: *Commit crime in the colonized territories* Whites: "Hey! You can't do that anymore! We're comfortable now! Animals!" I mean if white people really do have high IQs and were behaving how they do I wonder what the excuse is. Being smart and evil means it's intentional and more dangerous. Being uneducated means you don't think of other options besides hurting people. So are people allowed to talk any kinda way here? 'Cause uhm, lmao wth

Notice how these racists have more respect and empathy for NON-AMERICAN drug trafficking murders and gang members than they have for fellow American citizens if they are Black? Reminds me of how the racist Republicans love Russia more than they do America....because Russia is still almost all White.

Thank you for the giggles this morning. I was feeling off. Your frankness sometimes sets me straight! lol Troy, you have excellent editorial and publishing insights. I'm still blown away by the science you dropped on the Wall Street Journal platform. You held us rapt - and that included the other panelists and host. There is NO ONE but you sharing insight on the future of Black people publishing - and we need it now more than ever, especially with the juggernaut that is am*zon.com. By the way, you've taught us through your knowledge how to work with am*zon instead of having am*zon work us. You already do the deep dive into the statistics -if you make it fun for Tik Tok your audience will grow - and by association, so will Black publishers and authors.

I'm not surprised by the photo considering their generation and the fact that they are a part of the entertainment committee.

Are you sure you weren't communicating with a demon?

BlackGamesElite is a online club which I started to do two thing 1. Have a community considering Black people, a human community based on the auniversally accepted phenotypical range of skin, in relation to all elements of the video game industry, from developers to culture to characters in games or any other factor in said industry. 2. To have fun:) Rules 1. Have fun 2. All phenotypes are welcome, but if you can't handle Black empowerment, whether you be black or not, please go somewhere else online.
