The best way to get nothing is not to demand anything. I did not type that POTUS OJ started those things either. He's executing it to the satisfaction of the MAGA base. I do. As usual, our dialog is from different planes. Nor did I type that POTUS OJ is making the USA hyper-white nationalist. He's promoting it. Everything POTUS OJ is doing is an effort to reinforce white patriarchy from top to bottom: Remove non-white men from positions of power and authority. Reshape the military into the warfighting force and look pre-1950s. Promote the support and acceptance of mediocre white men. Look at a map of the USA when it comes to red and blue. It is definitely more red. Many white folks easily flip between the two. it works out for them either way. Birth-rights as defined by the US Constitution. Regardless of Jewish population size, IMO, the is a form of unity among them. The majority of Black folks in the USA trade their labor for entities and interests controlled by white folks. If/when white folks decides to eliminate *jobs* whether it is through down-sizing or switching over to AI, Black folks will be adversely affected the most. Black folks do not have enough institutions, corporations, companies, businesses, etc., to which they can turn for employment. If the entertainment industry and major sports leagues decided to ban Black players, the number of Black millionaires would plummet. Those are the rugs I'm referring to white folks pulling from underneath us. POTUS OJ is trying to implement policies and a movement in the USA to eliminate those fears among white folks. MAGA is code restoring the USA to how it was during the 1950s. White folks were perfectly fine with it. Before the 1960s, Black folks and other non-whites were *in their place*.

There's a huge number of poor people in the USA. If they formed a block and made demands, I believe it would be effective. OK. I've never specifcally typed that voting accomplishes anything. From MAGA (hyper-white nationalism) to deporting illegal immigrants to reducing federal government to fighting crime were promises made. The MAGA movement is code for it. Here's a newsflash for you...NYC does not represent the pulse of the USA. The Big Apple likes to believe it's a big deal...it's not. Semantics. FBA/ADOS folks want their birth-rights. I know Jews received a windfall of money post-holocaust. Israel receives a chunky allowance from the USA every year too. Still, research how much Jews own and the amount of wealth it has generated. Jews aren't going broke through gross consumerism. Their churches are not raising billions of dollars just to enrich the pastors and his flunkies. FBA/ADOS should pool their money because whenever white folks decide to pull the rug from underneath paying for their labor...many of our people will be worse off.

Willie D is da man. Surely, you remember the Geto Boys and "Mind Playing Tricks on Me". Willie D had one of the coldest lines on the record with "Or is the one I beat for $5,000 dollars...thought he had 'caine but it was Gold Medal flour".

There's a similar situation in the DMV where paying bus fare is *optional*. The bus driver isn't going to tackle or report someone who doesn't pay.

Cognitive dissonance is a huge *problem* among humans. I'd imagine this argument happened before you got hip to the late Neely Fuller Jr. You provided the truth. That is hard for people to handle especially when it comes against whatever they have chosen to believe. It is best to stick to constructive conversations with questions and answers for the purpose of solving problems. Anything else might lead to an argument.

He is on track to the next mayor of NYC. You have nit the nail on its head. Mamdani was born in Uganda where his father was an educator and mother a filmmaker. Mamdani landed in the US as a kid. He eventually linked up with the Hip-Hop community. As a New Yorker, Mamdani has played the game in terms of kicking it with people across the lines.

@Pioneer1...Insider trading is a great example. Politicians have gotten filthy rich from insider trading. No investigations, prosecutions or jail time. Meanwhile, a few folks at a casino or wherever stack the deck or use inside information to fleece others out their money...it is headline news. It is all subjective depending on who made the rules and who is doing the cheating.

True. He was born in Africa. Sometimes, he refers to himself as an African-American. Right. Other than stomping for free buses, rent control and less police...it will be the same ole sh8t.,

Shining example right there when it comes to other nationalities and how they view their homeland. That doesn't stop [insert culture/nationality here] from bragging about and repping their home country from a distance via remote. If these people cared more about their home countries, it seems like they would be doing more to build the country rather than flee it. Makes no sense to take up residence in a white country and everything that comes with it when one has a whole country of their own. Meanwhile, FBA/ADOS were born here in the USA. We do not have a home country to which we can return. A handful of FBA/ADOS seem to be the only Black folks consistently stomping for justice, equity and reparations, etc., in their home country. Other Black folks benefit from our fight/tstruggle in being allowed to come here and talk sh8t about everything from how lazy n8gglets are to looking at round azz.

It's part and parcel to the game of politics under the 2-party system (Democrat & Republican). Since there is no established Independent Party, most candidates hitch their wagons to one of the two parties. The belief is that whoever would have voted for mayor Adams will roll with Cuomo. It appears Zohran Mamdani has taken all of the oxygen out of the room. NYC wants something different.

The government is being weaponized to go after political enemies whether it's how someone voted or donated money or opposed the establishment. Sports betting is legal part of gambling. The issue comes down to cheating. There should be no unfair advantage even though the house always wins in the end.

I don't care for her wig choices at times but she's a cutie. No surprise nowadays. Especially with the war on masculinity. It does not appear that most foreign-born folks have an obligation to help their home countries. Seems their country-men are just glad they "made it out". Send some change i.e. a few bucks back home if possible...it's all good.

Anybody who sees color as a character trait is ignorant. Definitely let them go. Don't need their vibe or energy around draining the power grid.

Several high-profile cases involving white folks shows the lengths whites are willing to protect even those most guilty person until convicted. Decisions are made regarding: 1) attire 2) grooming 2) shackles 3) courtroom photographs 4) media coverage I won't give perpetrator names as it's easy enough to look them up. They don't deserve a shout-out here either. White folks want their criminals to get the most fair trial. They don'tdemonize them until guilt is proven beyond reasonable doubt. Still, they believe these people can be rehabilitated. That's why they're slow to consider the death penalty. Suicide watch is the most hilarious aspect of white folks protecting their own. They don't even want a death row candidate to take their own life. Nevermind the money it would save taxpayers. There's no shortage of examples of the system of racism white supremacy at work both in terms of how it is applied to non-whites and benefits whites.

I knew KJP had written a book. She's also trying to distance herself from the Democratic party too. I hope the book sells well enough to take care of KJP financially. She may never get another real job.

Therein lies the problem. If voters formed blocks, they could make demands of politicians. The system is good at keeping it from happening. What gave you that impression? POTUS OJ built his MAGA following by promising he would do certain things...primarily make America hyper-white nationalist. Of course, white folks in the opposition party benefit too. That's why they don't really do anything to stop POTUS OJ. Sure. FBA/ADOS want full access to their birth-rights. Black folks have accesss to billions collectively. You know the rest.

No excuses. Too many resources (human M& data), information and knowledge exists for someone to remain ignorant. History provides a perspective that we should know to 1) avoid repeating the past and 2) move forward in progressing. Wallowing in the past isn't going to get us anywhere. Use that knowledge to force change by any means necessary.

True. The question is did the voters demand anything of their elected officials. Most people are not voting their interests. They are exercising their right to vote as told to do so. However, politicians main priority is catering to special interests i.e. the money that put them in office in the 1st place.

Right. Maybe this current hyper-white nationalism movement will force Black folks to rely on each other even moreso.

An after hours spot would get away it. A casino business is supposed to follow the gambling laws for that jurisdiction. I don't imagine the laws condone cheating. Biggie had many quotable lines but that one definitely ranks near the top. The mob has become more sophisticated. They are not breaking limbs and killing folks like they did back in the day. They're taking valuables, vehicles l, property, etc. Violence is a last resort.

Absolutely nothing but the truth. Every time I see a brotha with an unattractive non-Black woman, I can only shake my head thinking...yeah champ, stay right over there with that booger-wolf. Same goes for sistas who have raggedy non-Black men. They didn't have to look far if the bar was that low. She can stay right over there with her crop duster too. There's nothing wrong with mutual attraction. I just don't want to hear the excuse of not being able to find love within the race. That's BS.

The leaders are elected. By default, the voters got what they wanted including subservience to another country.

That woman's prayer was answered. She asked for a man in a color instead of a man of character. Willie D said Black dudes are not exempt. Brothas want sistas to look like Ms. Universe but they will mess with a white woman who looks like the universe. As I mentioned in another thread...let them n8gglets men & women both go to the other if that's their choice. Willie D also said "I'd rather eat crumbs with bums instead of steaks with snakes."

@richardmurray...one of the individuals implicated in this situation is worth $100 million dollars. IMO, there's no legitimate excuse for a Black person to blow $100 million dollars. Especially not when they are under 40 years old. Despite the disadvantages of slavery, there's no shortage of multimillion Black athletes and entertainers who have held on to and compounded their fortunes. A Black person new to wealth only has to talk to a Grant Hill or Robert Smith or Jay-Z and Beyonce. H8ll, they can talk to crazy azz Kanye West. Again, a Black person blowing or risking $100 million dollars is not as @Pioneer1 would type of low intelligence ...that n8gglet is just dumb. Full stop.

Words of wisdom do not die. Build financial institutions like banks and credit unions. Places where Black folks can pool their monies. Black financial institutions can extend favorable lines of credit to Black start-up businesses in every major Black cities around the country. Once successful, we can diversify into other types of businesses too i.e. investments. Black businesses need to be supported and protected by any means necessary.
