Right. That's why so many bibles still look brand new. That's fair. Many people have done it. Right. Upon realizing man wrote the books of the bible as inspired by the Supreme Being...it falls apart. Then, there's the King James version and NIV and other translations of the same book written thousands of years ago allegedly. It would seem that a Supreme Being doesn't need an intermediary to write His instructions down. Humans have been blessed/cursed with the ability to rationalize anything and just enough knowledge to be dangerous.

https://www.npr.org/2025/12/04/g-s1-100576/trump-institute-of-peace-name POTUS OJ's name has been slapped on the United States Institute of Peace (USIP). The independent think tank USIP was created by congress back in the 1980s during POTUS Reagan's administration. Petty azz POTUS OJ having been passed over for the Nobel Peace Prize is using USIP as an opportunity to pat himself on the back as a dealmaker who has supposedly resolved conflicts around the world. Russia is still slapping Ukraine around. Also, in a display of azz kissing, FIFA (international soccer organization) has created and awarded POTUS OJ the equivalent of a participation trophy in the form of a peace medal: https://apnews.com/article/trump-world-cup-fifa-peace-prize-e14f95b8adaa197c869cad407b6ef604 It should not be a surprise if FIFA ends up getting favorable locations in the USA to hold World Cup matches. No shortage of flattering POTUS OJ will happen over the next 3 years. However, I don't believe the American people will have to endure his administration that long. I do not have any proof or evidence of an impending implosion of the current administration but they cannot run with scissors indefinitely without falling and getting cut. The big top tent will fall apart.

Unfortunately, FBA/AfroAmericans have never really had a protection or enforcement arm to deal with lynchings, towns burning, white vigilante murders, police sanctioned killings, etc. White folks know FBA/AfroAmericans are defenseless and powerless against any form of violence they choose to inflict upon most of our people. For a long time now, FBA/AfroAmericans have been conditioned to turn the other cheek and be non-violent against white folks. Black churches are the biggest culprits in turning FBA/AfroAmericans into sheep. They won't help us against the enemy. Those 10 commandments and living a sin-free life for the rewards of heaven and spending eternity in the bosom of the sky fairy is the mental conditioning to remain non-violent even when confronted with evil. There's only a very small percentage of FBA/AfroAmericans who are prepared to defend themselves against violence from white folks. Otherwise, there has never been a form of Black unity that includes a form of justice against those who mistreat, harm and kill our people.

https://www.npr.org/2025/12/06/g-s1-101090/national-parks-fee-free-calendar-mlk-juneteenth National Parks no longer free on MLK Jr. and Juneteenth holidays. However, the parks are free on POTUS OJ's birthday. Some Black folks want to believe POTUS OJ isn't a racist.

Right. It is neither logical nor does it make sense to commit a crime to solve a problem. Took a page out of your book in embellishing the scenario. That's a chance the individual takes and has to deal with the consequences. Further embellishing the scenario, if the individual does end up in the penalty box, hopefully, he won't think every other inmate is a sympathizer. Another inmate will pretend to sympathize, buddy and butter him up. Better know how to protect himself.

One picture doesn't mean her man enjoys kissing the dog more. In fact, Venus is holding the dog between them.

Committing a crime is not a better option. It might be easier or faster but the consequences may render the juice unworthy of the squeeze. It seems senseless until you realize that man was getting a bath while he was asleep. I meant it literally doesn't make sense to commit a crime in order to solve a problem. Only the individual(s) can detemime whether or not suffering the consequences of their actions are worth it. Someone sitting in the sidelines cheerleading and agreeing that committing a crime makes sense doesn't have to pay for it i.e. do the time. It's all good as long as the individual is perfectly fine with going to prison especially if the little girls dies anyway.

Sure. I get it. At some point, people should know that religious scriptures are mostly allegorical. Religion is made up sh8t to keep people in check.

Not seeing videos on them doing it may be enough evidence to satisfy some. However, I would need proof to believe they aren't doing it. Spend time around and observing them. Social media would lead some people to believe Black people are ratchet, ignorant and broke. Those same people would have their minds blown upon riding through Black enclaves of successful people with houses, cars and well adjusted families. The question is why is social media displaying ignorant and dysfunctional Black people instead of the positive.

Based on the scenario, I understand why he did it. From a logical perspective, instead of committing a crime he could have: 1) applied for a bank loan 2) started a GoFundMe 3) borrowed money from friends and family Breaking the law doesn't make sense considering the consequences. Based on the circumstances, the judge and jury might give the man less time in prison for stealing the money. Therefore, his actions don't make sense and could possible make a bad situation even worse.

Time keeps on ticking. How long should she have waited? We've already acknowledged she doesn't need a prince. She's rich. You're dismissing the independent thought of younger females and women. Whatever the Williams sisters choose to do with themselves will not influence thousands of young Black females one way or another. If/when it is time for those females to make dating decisions and marriage partners, other factors will inform it...upbringing, environment, attraction, security, etc.

@Pioneer1, depending on the audience, it's hard to substantiate a position without facts, proof and/or evidence. Definitely so when it comes to anything interpretative. The judicial system is buillt on using facts, proof and evidence to make the case one way or another. Bottom line is one should question, challenge and verify information especially if it is presented without facts, proof and/or evidence. Because anyone can be a journalist i.e. report information, fact-checking is a very real thing nowadays. For example, whenever someone tells me something, the 1st thing I want to know is the source. If they tell me it was reported on a social media site...red flag. I walk away.

The obvious answer is we don't know if women of other cultures downplay the men because.... Women of other cultures are not cheerleading for the men either. Women of other cultures do venture outside of it. Look no further than wife of the Vice POTUS.

Depends on how one defines making sense. The scenario provided above doesn't make sense to someone who doesn't understand or see the point in tree-boxing i.e. stalking someone. To someone who doesn't believe in peeping around, they might believe it would make sense to ask the person suspected of cheating if it is true. Wait for answer. Don't interrupt. Common sense and making sense can be slippery slopes.

NF Jr. said Black people should always be prepared for relocation. Looks like this administration will be testing it. Even if they are unsuccessful getting the Constitution changed, that may not stop them from doing whatever they want. Nobody should be surprised when it comes to white criminals. Laws and rules don't apply the same way to them.

I see what you did there. Well played. The FBI has had the same information for 5 years. They also traced the pipe bomb materials back to Home Depot receipts. The question is why wasn't his azz picked up sooner by the previous administration.

Bro, I understand your concern over Black folks supporting the positions of racists and white supremacists. Rest assured, they cannot end birthright citizenship for FBA/AfroAmericans no more than it can be taken away from white folks. It would be best for FBA/AfroAmericans to heed the advice of the late Dick Gregory and remain neutral in these issues that have nothing to do with us. Unfortunately, the generations of FBA/AfroAmericans starting with Gen-X and younger are getting distracted by this other sh8t instead of keeping their eyes on the ball that is our own bizness.

Unfortunately, the written word doesn't always translate emotion. That's why I use emoticons. I'm in no way revolted by the fact that Senator might be ghey. It is only my belief. I've already stated I don't have a problem with the alphabet soup community. Ghey dudes means more women for us heterosexual dudes. In real life, I'm the least emotional dude on the planet. Maybe it does not come across in my posts. Again, I have no scorn towards Rep. Hakeem Jeffries. He's doing whatever his constituency put him there to do. As far as I know, neither Rep. Jeffries nor the Congressional Black Caucus has put forth any reparations legislation. It's cool because they don't represent my interests and *I* don't have to vote for them. Obviously, even as we agree to disagree, I care what you think. That's why I read and respond accordingly. As long as you're still sucking up oxygen, we'll continue to go back and forth. Go Bears.

Right. I'm waiting to see or hear whether or not POTUS OJ addresses it in one way or another.

https://www.npr.org/2025/12/04/nx-s1-5632646/fbi-pipe-bombs-arrest 5 years later, a suspect has been arrested for planting pipe bombs at DNC and RNC locations on January 6th. To everyone's surprise, the suspect is a Black man: Brian Cole Jr. Is a 34-year-old from Virginia. He has confessed that he believed the 2020 election was stolen from POTUS OJ. Let's see if this young man gets pardoned for his crime. The other January 6th folks have already been released.

We're in the same club. Bald men unite. F8ck hair.

That is true as long as it's not against the law. Still, soulmate usually isn't the reason people with a decade or more age difference between connect with each other. It's normally a physical and/or financial incentive. I'm not suggesting they cannot have fun together i.e. shopping, getting their nails done, girls night out, etc. Sure. After 2 months of dating, they have made a business decision. Remains to be seen how it works out. More importantly, let's see if this union 1) bears additional fruit and 2) lasts for many years beyond his political aspirations. No intimidation here. More power to them regardless of their arrangement. Surely. POTUS Obama successfully carried out the duties of the highest executive office in the USA. He did not *break* anything white folks built. Ask Rep. Hakeem Jeffries if he's power brokering any legislation to bring reparations to AfroAmericans. Wait for his answer. Don't interrupt.

The hard-working dude sees America as a land of opportunity. He sees the immigrants as ungrateful freeloaders. Complaining about immigrants will not benefit AfroAmericans in getting reparations. However, it could possibly eliminate the number of Black folks who could stake a claim to reparations. There are Black folks who love this country and believe it belongs to them just as much as racists do. The Civil War led white folks to go to blows against each other. Those same white folks close ranks and help to fight a common enemy. Some Black Americans will do the same thing. No matter how badly America has treated our people, they will fight for it. Similar to slaves protecting the slavemasters house from outsiders. I believe AfroAmericans should handle their own bizness. No need to speak on immigration one way or another. No need to cape for immigrants either. We got our own sh8t to fix.

I wrote that anything is possible. Let a 34-year-old dude claim a 16-year-old girl is his soulmate. He'd better hope she doesn't have a father or some other protective male-figure in her life. Then, there's law enforcement. Not just politicians. There's no shortage of Black men in our history who have done great things in terms of our progress. Again, maybe AfroAmericans are so far removed from our history and having been rudderless for 50 years and counting...it makes sense that our people are *here* now. Every man and woman out for self. That's why Senator Booker got *married*. As @Pioneer1 mentioned, he's prepping himself for another POTUS run. i believe Governor Gavin Newsom has the democratic nomination on lock. They have to create a field of dreamers to make it look good.

That's not how the universe works. Anything is possible. Like winning the lotto. Chances 1 in 427 million. In this fellas case...I seriously doubt she's his soulmate. Most likely...she's a beard. We can easily read the legislation they introduce in their positions. More importantly, listen to them and the issues they choose to champion. Black history provides role models. Black struggles providea a compass. Maybe modern Black leadership is so far removed from the struggle and/or so comfortable under the system of racism white supremacy that there's no incentive to do anything more than grift.
