Amazingly, I’ve not heard the story yet. It must’ve just happened. I’m assuming he’s not ADOS or FBA.

Me too. But we must also recognize that race is also a tool of the plutocrats, understood to be false by the educated, but believed to be true by the masses. Educate the masses and the tool becomes useless.

The first and last videos are too old to be of relevance today. Pill Boy's video seems interesting I'll probably check it out, Still without knowing anything about who he is I'lll view the video very critically. I can only imagine what the state of the art of AI, which none of us have access to, is. ----------------------- @frankster, what is truth? Is it really incontrovertible. History tells us what is true today may be false tomorrow. The "truth" my exist but we may not know it, indeed it may be unknowable. Religions may not be true, but maybe there is something underlying them that is true, but incomprehensible to us mere mortals. Maybe religion is one why we can glimpse it, the way a tesseract helps us visualize a 4D space.

She is young and charismatic, with a bright future ahead. despite the recent loss.

I see that I have mellowed a bit, which is a a good IMHO.

I beg to differ. The thumbnail and title below are perfect examples of this very thing. "People have found Epstein's code word for Human Meat..."

,,,fast forward 13 years and this post has resurfaced in popularity, presumably due to the passing of the civil rights giant. Rereading this I'm not sure why I gave @anika99 so much grief for sharing the "news." I guess I was thinking it was gossip and nobody else's business. Maybe I was thinking it was just the media tearing down a another prominent Black man.

Look as bad a guys as Epstein surely was, the idea that Epstein Hunted Niggers Like in the Hunger Games is just crazy on it's face. Now if you have some proof, first had accounts -- I'm all ears. But don't be making up shit to feed an algorithms to garner views. Again, creators are rewarded for creating this shit because it makes the social media platform owners billionaires. One of 100 reasons to avoid the platforms that do this.

@Pioneer1's observations on the FBA and ADOS "movements" is why I try to limit my consumption of information from social media. I'd rather read a Black newspaper. James Small's suggestion is exactly what males these movements dangerous.

This is Troy. First you must understand ability and intellect have very little to do with success in America. Being born with wealthy and a willingness to be evil is a much better indicator of success for white folks. For Black folks the ability to entertain white folks is a much better predictor of financial success. As @Delano implied getting pimped is what made america great. Being pimped who how a Black person get rich.

The following was written by Arthur Rickydoc Flowers and is an excerpt from his substack post. ---------- So recently on Substack I was made aware of the FBA (Foundational Black Americans) and ABOS (American Descents of Slavery) movements, etc, and expressed my contempt for this latest expression of Black insecurity boosting itself with petty bullshit cutting us off from the Diaspora. I was responding to an informative piece (link below) on the phenom and I was like whats FBA and boy did I get impassioned responses, including from my sister, Elise, who apparently been in contention with them for years, I am truly out of the loop, I don’t really do social media, I’m only on Substack cause of Trump, decided its a good venue for raising up the Hoodoo Legions against him. Came up in here expecting to be exhorting mi legions to the barricades, battle has come to us, but I quickly deduced what Im really doing is raising the consciousness of the Legions, (matters like this one,) to make of them more effective cultural custodians, a longer more invested process but such is struggle and I am comfortable with the glacial pace of cultural change. To my everlaqsting shame Ive become a Substack scold. A gentle scold. But, after expressing my surprise and dismissal of these FBA folk, I received the following missive from one George Dawson, MD, I’m not used to social media folk trying to dispute me, usually my narrative gravitas preclude anybody being fool enuf to come at me, so this defense of FBA world kinda tripped me out. Folk had told me about it but I guess I didn’t really believe Blackfolk could be so clueless. ------------- Wait. What is wrong for a people, our people attempt at defining/refining who and what we are based on our experiences on this land? People refer to us as: akata, lazy, no culture ..... on and on. So, who is being dismissive? Are we not allowed to respond? To protect our dignity? Meanwhile, while some are slinging these derogatory memes at our folks, any at the same time, they have no problem with exploiting the perks and opportunities we have gained by fighting for here on these shores. Fighting with our blood sweat and tears. Really? Further, being non-deportable, has, seemingly, created an air of resentment against our people, as well. With all this, we can’t define ourselves anew. That is, define us based on our lived experiences on these shores. Our lineage. That is offensive? This lineage. Created/developed here, over 4 centuries or so. Let us just dismiss it? Really. I could go on but I will stop here. I am an old head and as such, been through a few things for plenty decades or a few scores of years. Respect what people, our people are trying to clarify. Some of these folks have showed us how they feel about our Americanness. These young people have every right to define us anew, if it is required. Let them/us work it out. On our homestead, so to speak -------- OK, I don’t usually wrestle in the mud with confused folk, I will state my position for the historical record but I don’t try to convince nobody of nothing. I will tell you what you need to hear one time. If you ready you will hear it, if not come back when you are, Okay, before I get to snarling, I had written the following in hot rage but before pushing send I went to check his site out, figured Id find Black MAGA but he aint really that bad, just got confused. But once I became conscious of him as a fellow Black person trying I had to snarl less personal. I’m spose to be a spiritual force, a holyman, and not caught up in Black online dialogue as mortal combat. I lost my grace with these folk, they piss me off, bit I went thru and cut back the afterburners, still harder than you generally get from me but you shoulda read it before I let him get humanized by reading his posts. So less personal I will say, for the historical record, why I think this ABOS / FBA etc is not only bullshit but dangerous bullshit. One, we are a weak minority, we need all the help we can get. Folk invented the Diaspora so we could be a global folk. All the true players of the world are global folk, whitefolk, Jews, Arabs, Chinese, etc, they globalfolk. So what yall want to do is move us back into global weakness, cut us off from one of our greatest strengths in global competition and domestic empowerment. Classic Divide & Conquer. And then you got the nerve to complain that they not deportable, I believe thats what pissed me off. And if there are folk in the Diaspora who are as confused as you FBA folk rant about, well, you always gon have some folk who just not ready, you and yours being exhibit A. But we don’t let the weak links define us, do we, we tolerate, we educate when we can, cripple when we can’t. Don’t nobody question our unique history, brother, but to think it somehow exalts us over otherfolk, you just replicating evil. My brother, these is portentous times and you on the wrong side of history, when the story is told you will be judged wanting. A stalking horse for the right perhaps, a MAGA disinformation campaign. But I dont even have to go there, conspiracy or not you working against us. I’m told yall told the kids not to vote. How did that work out for them. Worked out great for Tramp and MAGA. But Fannie Lou ‘If I fall Ima fall five feet four inches forward in the fight for freedom’ Hamer woulda be shamed of you. And if Fannie Lou ain’t foundational I don’t know who is. But it is even worse, far as the old conjureman concerned, you crippling the tribal soul, and that I cannot allow. As a practitioner of literary hoodoo, griot and tribal medicine worker, I have been trained to monitor the health of the tribal soul (culture) by monitoring its cultural products, (including ideas) giving the tribal soul what it needs, extracting what it don’t, and it do not need this, my friend, Not only is it political malpractice but its just petty and I can’t let my people get caught up in petty bullshit, I can not let my people be a petty people. I believe the defining feature of the 21st century in a rapidly globalizing world is which cultures will contribute to the uniworldal culture of the future, which die out and disappear. I would African American culture, as exemplified in Hoodoo, its indigenous spiritual tradition, be one of the world’s Great Ways My vision is that Black folk position themselves as Guide and Guardian of Human Destiny, the Magical Negro wrote large, the Illuminated Children of the Sun, a beacon light unto humanity, forever. Yes, yes, I agree, yet another Chosen Peoples scenario but one based on humble service to the Human Condition. I got to get Blackfolk out of this historical Trickbag, got to transform them souldeep, I need Blackfolk to believe in themselves w/mythic intensity, so confident in their value they realize loud random bullshit like this is beneath them. This mean I have to shape African American culture / spiritual tradition into one of the worlds Great Ways - one other folk admire and emulate, an African American Way. It is I, Rickydoc Trickmaster, the High Hoodoo of Memphis, come to call thru incandescent hunger, to me, o mighty race, I got the vision, 1stborn, it is in me like fire. Listen 1stborn to the Geas of Rickydoc and I will give you a Mission greater than your Adversity. I will give you a Destiny. It is I, Mganga Maua, Hoodoo Lord of the Delta, come to call you 1stborn, humanity’s living ancestors, gods true chosen, if you would reclaim your legacy as gods holy instrument you must stand on higher ground, I ask only that you be the great and glorious people you were meant to be, the Illuminated Children of the Sun. Not a mean little petty folk who can only feel good about themselves if they stepping on folk as they themselves was stepped on. And then to do it to kinfolk - I am appalled, all of you FBA / ABOS, etc, you bad as Black MAGA, may even be Black MAGA. We got real hammers coming down on us, dawg, we seriously under the gun, we aint got time for made up bullshit that not only don’t empower our generations but instead weakens us, both politically and spiritually. And if you think I’ma let yall cripple the tribal soul with unregulated bullshit you are sadly mistaken. But, that said Ima dismiss your movement, I don’t have bandwidth for silly season, not when my people so in need of true vision. Every chance I get Ima discredit this farce but basically Ima let this silly season bullshit die a natural death, So, I dedicate this piece to all the Black Generations of the Diaspora, past present & future, we shall overcome, someday - and my brother, next time try googling me before you start talking about all your years of experience Share In the name of the conqueror let this Work be done – Demoja Demoja – let it be so Upgrade to paid note: this was the piece i was responding to, a more informed strategic analysis of how the movement rooted itself in the culture - be safe, be productive Au'Naturale Have we gone too far? Nationalism has been on the rise lately and If you’ve been in black spaces online you know of the FBA (foundational black american) and ADOS (american descendants of slavery) movements. Theres been an ongoing attempt at reclamation of black culture in America. Equally a lot of harmful propaganda going around due to this. I want to address it from the le… Read more 4 months ago · 13 likes · 3 comments · Ashanique.

I tried moving the conversation, but It does not look like I can move all of them. I think I moved to start, but the rest of them will have to be cut and pasted To the new one and then delete it here by the users… That is the best I can do

Deep. From The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (1776) "The various modes of worship, which prevailed in the Roman world, were all considered by the people, as equally true; by the philosopher, as equally false; and by the magistrate, as equally useful." The same holds true for the concept of race. ....considered by the masses, as equally true; by the educated, as equally false; and by the plutocracy as equally useful.

this is Troy for some reason my my phone forgot my user account. Of course I don’t believe in multiple races! I thought I made that abundantly clear over the years. I recognize that there are people, like you, who believe in multiple races. But that doesn’t make it true. And there are those who are sufficiently powerful enough to exploit the nonsensical belief, people have in multiple races and use it as a tactic to divide us for their personal benefit.

Happy New Year everyone! For some reason my Troy account stopped working 😞 So I'm using the administrator account until I can reset or find it.

@aka Contrarian I completely missed your desire to have someone comment on your observations, at least it wasn’t clear to me until your last post. The difference between this forum and social media platforms like TikTok are profound. Sure in some cases, the content might be just as trivial, silly, incorrect, deep sublime, witty as anything that you’ll find on social media one main difference you consistently ignore, however, is that a tremendous amount of time, energy and money goes into deliberately hacking into the brain of the users of the systems and they have been very effective. There are no Scientist here trying to keep you engaged on this platform 24/7 We don’t even have ads here anymore. You ignore all the evidence which speaks to the adverse impact of this on our society. But it’s fine not everyone is going to get it or if they get it accept it. It is much like pioneer refusal to accept, there’s no scientific basis for race or getting Harry realize not all ministers are money grubbing womanizers.

In case a monkey gets into your yard, is a good reason for everyone to have a gun 😉

Hi Harry, sorry you have been having difficultly as you might have read I have a great deal of difficultly myself in recent weeks. In my case I lost my password and had to actually go into my database to correct it. Sometimes my web server will block my ip address as a precautions and I have to white list the ip address manually. Both solutions required a relatively technical solution outside of the software. You problem is different (not an IP address or password issue) since you were able to login using a different browser. You have have pretty much ocalized the problem, to the original browser. You can try clearing the old browser's cache to see if that helps. Rebooting your system can't hurt either. The cause is probably not white trash, as I'm sure they have better things to do, like figuring out how to buy food now that SNAP benefits have been cut Thanks for you contributions 🙂

I never heard of this woman, and I won't judge her on that clip. as it was doctored for effect. She probably lost by a landslide. Imagine a real life drop squad: They would just be rounded up and arrested, as someone would sell them out in a about 5 minutes.

Yeah I'm sure Adams is Mackin'

I did not know Miles Davis went around shooting at people so often. It is surprising he did not land in jail. Interesting how they worked the white guy so prominently into the film; even in the trailer his presence seems forced. It looks like yet another brilliant performance from Don Cheadle.

@Sara, I have no personal recollection of Adam Clayton Powell. He died when I was a kid, and was most alive before I was alive. One of the avenues was renamed for him, and there is a magnificent statue of him on 125th street. I can't relate anything about him from personal experience, but I too heard he was a great man. But again that was a long time ago... He was the pastor of one of Harlem's most prominent churches. In fact I just got a book about his wife in the mail:

Missed your voice @Xeon.
