Sure. Rep. Crockett could hook up with a multimillionaire or billionaire and make bigger moves. Ask a man like POTUS OJ if any of his wives contributed to his success. Wait for the amswer. Don't interrupt. Rich and powerful white men are rarely shown with their wives if they are even married at all. A lot of women do not want to be defined by men. Some folks are unwilling to *do* or put up with the strings attached to that help. Oprah is a multibillionaire. Only another billionaire could help her get more than she has already. Again, these successful women do not think they *need* a man.

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.

Hopefully, McDonald's won't get the bright idea to start using insects and bugs to sell McRoaches and McCrickets and McButterflies.

Religious folks are indoctrinated and radicalized into believing they are dying for a greater cause and will be rewarded on the other side. Humans have a natural desire to live and survive. Most don't want to die because it's final an as you mentioned, they don't really know what's on the other side.

That's exactly how robots and drones will take delivery jobs. More folks will be out of work.

Epstein Transparency Act has been signed by the Senate and supposedly by POTUS OJ. Let's see how long it takes for the files to be released and what comes out of it.

Sure. There are many opiates folks choose to use in order to cope with their existence. Black folks do not have a monopoly on undermining each other in the workplace. Certain types of jobs lead to backbiting and other tricks to get ahead. Starting a business or company is one thing. Creating an economy is no small feat because it would require coming up with something *new* and controlling the entire chain from production to distribution. Fair enough. However it manifests, fear can lead to paralysis.

She's already a successful politician without needing a man's help. People hardly ever say, if that man locked arms with the *right* woman he would be more successful. Your scenario paints the picture a lot of women work hard to avoid. They strive to prove a man isn't necessary for their success. Degree of success can be debated but it differs from one person to the another.

Reminds me of those Dawn of the Dead movies where they keep sending people to the zombies. At some point, folks are going to stop knocking on the doors of white folks. Especially not knowing how many guns they have up in there. Just throw deliveries or packages or whatever in their front yard and keep it moving. If the white folks call the company to complain...give the standard police answer "I feared for my life and safety".

Surely, she has traveled in circles and been around men on her level. Balancing her career as a politicians and having time to deal with a man would be the hurdle. A man on her level doesn't need game to impress her. That dude would be more interested in going shopping or having a girl's night out with her.

Absolutely not. It is the opiate that makes life under the system of racism white supremacy more bearable for some folks. China only has a higher population of people. They do not have the same military strength from a technological perspective. A world war won't be as many boots on the ground. Drones and other hi-tech sh8t will be used to *fight*. Most Black folks work for white-owned companies and businesses. Fear can be mental and/or physical. As @frankster mentioned, it doesn't have anything to do with intelligence.

Right. Marriage is a social contract of accountability that serves to maintain quotas and provide a moral framework in governing s8xual relations. Men tried to come up with a way to keep themselves from running around impregnating women without a commitment to take care of them and their offspring. Especially at time when women were not providers and head of households, it would have been at bad look to have men dropping children everywhere and not providing for them. We live in a society that believes it is a better look for men and women to be in committed relationships stamped in holy matrimony. Of course, like the late Heavy D said, independent-minded folks got their own thang.

They are trying to protect rich and powerful white folks. The same white folks who donate huge amounts of money to their political campaigns. Just like the JFK files and MLK files and everything else they cover up, if they are released at all, do not be surprised if the Epstein files have been redacted and sanitized to the point of a nothing burger.

Comfort and fear. Apparently, when it comes to s8x...humans don't have to do a whole lot of thinking. They aren't concerned about their *problems* or living situation. Regardless of an individual's condition and/or circumstances, when the hormones kick up, somebody gonna get it in a shelter, alleyway, near a trashcan, abandoned car, etc.

D8mmit brotha @Troy...I knew there was a latent sense of humor behind that literal, no-nonsense virtual persona.
