16 minutes ago, admin said: @ProfD he stabbed the kid to death. They were on the same team. I don't know what happened, but there is little in my book that would justify snuffing out someone's life.
Now if the white kid was a shot-putter and the Black kids could not take him without a weapon, OK, but still murder is too high a price -- what did the white boy actually do to the Brother?
It helps to know the facts of the case. There is more to it.
The kids were at the same track event but not on the same team.
The Black kid did not just pull a knife & unalive the white kid.
Basically, the white kid confronted the Black kid in a threatening manner.
Black kid told him to back-off. White kid FAFO & now he's no longer here.

White people like to sensationalize their gangsters, serial killers & murderers.😎

1 hour ago, aka Contrarian said: I don't know what the moral of these 2 cases is. But murdering someone who displeased you, is never a good idea.
Supposedly, the Black kid murdered the white kid in self-defense. We'll find out more as the trial progresses. Again, Texas does have stand your ground law.
In the Crash situation, the mean girl is standing her ground by exhibiting her sense of entitlement & white privilege. The question is why does she even have a documentary.
Suge Knight gets to do interviews regarding various culture issues from prison but his perspective/commentary is entertaining.🤣😎

2 hours ago, Troy said: I dunno. How often do either of you watch BET+ nowadays?
Admittedly, I do not watch BET+ but I know a lot of people that do.
IMO, Paramount would not have bought BET+ if there was no value there.
Even if BET+ had become a streaming platform with ads, the same people would have watched it. Especially as folks cut the cable.
10 hours ago, aka Contrarian said: I thought when Spirit Airlines filed for bankruptcy and was on its last legs, this would've been a good opportunity for a black investment group to step in and take it over.
They could've changed its name from "Spirit" Airlines to "Soul" Airborne.
Another missed opportunity for Black investment.
Soul Airborne could have given Southwest Airlines a run for the money.
Whole lotta Black folks bring their chicken & Chinese food on their Southwest flights.🤣😎

The handwriting has been om the wall since the Ellisons through Paramount Skydance have been gobbling up mass media companies.
Before POTUS OJ leaves office, a lot of news will be right-wing & TV programming will be heavily white nationalistic.
Paramount bought BET+ from Tyler Perry. It will be absorbed into Paramount+. I do not foresee Paramount pushing Black content.
Hopefully the move to white nationalism will disappear whenever the reign of POTUS OJ ends.😎

4 hours ago, Troy said: Is there any surprise a Black man in Texas would not get a fair deal from the criminal justice system.
Yet, there's no shortage of Black faces in high places in Texas.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett & Rep. Al Green & Black law enforcement & judicial folks should have done everything possible to insure that young man gets a fair trial.
4 hours ago, Troy said: What do you suggest?
For starters, AfroAmericans should stop spending their money in non-Black businesses & stop trying to live in non-Black areas.
It's bad enough that Black folks cannot protect themselves from racists & white supremacists.
Even harder to protect the most vulnerable when our people live in predominantly white areas.😎

The trial of Karmelo Anthony is more proof that race is still a major factor of division here in the USA in 2026.
An all-white jury has already been selected in McKinney, Texas.
Nevermind the fact that this young man was defending himself in the stand your ground state of Texas.
Many believe the trial is nothing more than a dog & pony show where the fix is already in that this young man will be found guilty.
As unfortunate as it would be, I would not be surprised by that outcome. I hope a miracle prevails & he's found not guilty.
Tears & T-shirts & protests & marches have proven to be ineffective.
At some point, Black folks have to take action to keep ourselves from being victimized & railroaded under the system of racism white supremacy.😎

52 minutes ago, Pioneer1 said: Two questions for you:
Did you see GIRLS out there fighting and scrapping in the street like so many are doing today?
Did you see youth attacking and killing the elders and even their own parents like so many are doing today?I saw it all. DC was off the hook back in the 1980s.
58 minutes ago, Pioneer1 said: When was the last time you saw more than 3 young AfroAmerican men walking together?
I would not be surprised if young folks are not mobbed up regularly considering how social media silos them.😁
OTOH, technology does allow these young people to organize quickly & cut up out in them streets.🤣😎

56 minutes ago, Pioneer1 said: We NEED divisiveness and struggle because that is a sign that Black people are actively resisting the racists and their agenda to stifle our political and economic power.
Don't worry...the divide that is anti-Black will be in full effect for a long time.
Remains to be seen how much effort Black folks continue putting into being accepted by white folks versus becoming more self-sufficient & autonomous.😎

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/drug-smuggling-tunnel-us-mexico-video/
Authorities discovered a 2,000 foot tunnel constructed underneath a store that ran from California to Mexico.
After 6 months of surveillance, a task force eventually swooped in & confiscated a ton of cocaine worth an estimated $45 million dollars.
4 people were arrested in connection with the bust.
No telling how long the tunnel had been there raking in cash from drugs & probably human trafficking & weapons too.😎

Peabo Bryson, the man who could really sang, has passed away. He suffered a stroke a few days ago.
Some of Peabo's hits were "Feel the Fire", "Reaching for the Sky", "I'm So Into You", "Can You Stop the Rain", "If Ever You're in My Arms Again", "Tonight, I Celebrate My Love", "A Whole New World" & "Beauty & the Beast".
Thanks for the legacy of music. RIP Mr. Peabo Bryson.😎

Will you be allowed to view the wreckage?
Again, it was just one example of an event that anyone can easily verify.
1 hour ago, frankster said: Yes less credible.....but no less true
Truth is based on facts (evidence & proof). Not just because someone claims it.😎

19 hours ago, Pioneer1 said: When I go back to Detroit or visit places like Chicago and Atlanta, I see plenty of wealthy Black people.
But I've also seen far more dysfunctional Black people today than in the past growing up.
Maybe I weren't as aware of them as I am now.It seems that as we get older, we pay more attention to certain things & develop strong beliefs/opinions & confirmation bias sometimes along with a dose of cognitive dissonance. But, at least we're still alive & alert & communicative.😁😎

7 hours ago, aka Contrarian said: Imo, the problem is not whether elections are held, It's whether the loser will go quietly without claiming the outcome was rigged.
Since both parties draw millions of votes, it's just hard for me to believe that either side will meekly consent to living under a type of government they passionately disapprove of, for the next 4 years.
Something's gotta give, considering how divided the country has become.
Understood.
If today's climate is any indication, there's no major protests or backlash against the current administration.
The left doesn't have any fight in them. They've all but disappeared as POTUS OJ & the GOP run roughshod over the government.
Remains to be seen if there will be a wider scale January 6th type event if the right loses the White House.
Regardless of whether the GOP wins or loses, POTUS OJ will have to leave. He doesn't have that kind of power over the US military.
IMO, both the GOP & MAGA folks are enjoying the circus as they did the 1st time around. This is its last merry-go-round. They will go home when it's over.
I predict that 3 years from now, the divide in this country will tamp down & some semblance of normalcy will return. All of this chaos will be a distant memory like the pandemic.😁😎

6 hours ago, frankster said: Below I an applying your logics and reasoning to the incident you accept as real and true...holding up a mirror so to speak - maybe you can see your dissonance caused by bias and propaganda
So it did not blow up in a Walmart Parking lot On a busy shopping day and you were not there to see it.....yet you believe that story.
Of course it is real.....its on video
or is it ....
Real because officialdom says it is
I can go to Florida right now & see for myself that a rocket blew up. The evidence & proof is there.
6 hours ago, frankster said: UFO's buzzed the White House in the 1952.....Well known US Government Site
Miami Mall alien incident 2024 had multiply eyewitness and a stadium full of eyewitnesses in Italy 1954 Soccer (football) match
The 1950 incident in Washington and Italy were both public spectacle.....
2024 so called "drones" shut down Wright Patterson Military airbase.....a military airbase shut down by drones - figure that one out
No verifiable proof &/or easily debunked.
Most likely mlitary exercises.
6 hours ago, frankster said: How would you know something is hidden or held in secrecy .........some one has to leak leading or suggestive info first - "Whistleblower"
The shroud and obscurity is the cover up.....otherwise called a propaganda campaign of misinformation and disinformation.
The fact that information cannot be produced on demand for everyone to see; held in secrecy makes it less credible.
The rocket explosion example I provided was for context. There's no shortage of events that happen & easy to prove.
In modern times, the technology available nowadays to the average person makes it easier to capture any strange phenomena if it exists. UFO/UAP/ET is no exception. 😎

2 hours ago, Pioneer1 said: For whatever reason, you give white folks credit for being intelligent when they are barbaric more than anything else.
Well....
If they're NOT intelligent but rather stupid barbarians.....what does that say about the intellect and status of the people THEY'RE ruling over?
Being non-violent & fearing death doesn't make people less intelligent.
Conversely, is the person who straps on a bomb & blows up a bunch of sh8t & themselves more intelligent than everyone else?
A bully or someone prone to violence doesn't make them any stronger or more intelligent than it makes a non-violent person look weak & stupid.
I believe in violence but not because I'm barbaric or unintelligent.
Peace is always the 1st line of self-defense but violence when necessary is a part of survival.😎

2 hours ago, Pioneer1 said: Back in the day....before racism broke up most of the unions....there were plenty of good paying factory and government jobs that required little more than a highschool diploma.
Right. There's still a difference between good-paying jobs & high-paying jobs.
2 hours ago, Pioneer1 said: While this is true, it must be kept in mind that a lot of people don't have the intellect or knowledge TO fix their mistakes.
I'll have to take your word for it because I don't have a lot of dumbazz people living around me.🤣
2 hours ago, Pioneer1 said: Regardless of how it looks, classes exist for a reason.
Most def....
And for GOOD reason.
Not necessarily especially when class keeps a boot on the neck of people who have potential if given a fair opportunity.😎

2 hours ago, Pioneer1 said: In our generation them crazy ass "down for whatever" niggaz were actually only a few and far in between.
That's why they stood out.
Because most of us....the vast majority....were NOT like that.
Back in the 1980s, I witnessed brawls between neighborhood gangs with 30-40 n8gglets throwing punches at each other. Later on, they started bringing guns. This was before Gangsta Rap took off.😎

2 hours ago, Pioneer1 said: They're using him and his presidency as the "pilot episode" for a long term series.
Remains to be seen if a torch bearer for POTUS OJ comes along.
It's definitely not Vice POTUS JD Vance or Secretary of State Marco Rubio. They don't have the it factor to carry the MAGA base.
2 hours ago, Pioneer1 said: We needs a JEROME JACKSON up in that Oval Office.
A real Black man or woman won't occupy the Oval Office until the USA is totally FUBAR (f8cked up beyond all repair).🤣
2 hours ago, Pioneer1 said: The fact that you believe there will even BE a 2028 election gets you marked as "Optimist Of The Year" in my book....lol.
Appreciate the recognition.😁
But, I'm not alone in believing there will be a 2028 election.😎

1 hour ago, frankster said: How did you know about it???
Did it blow up in a Walmart parking lot?
Multiple media outlets reported it. Real video footage.
It blew up at Cape Canaveral. Well known NASA launch site.
1 hour ago, frankster said: If not Officialdom's reportage......
What evidence or proof do you have that this occurred then?
Beyond the NASA video, multiple eyewitnesses confirmed it. No cover-up or top secret files.
1 hour ago, frankster said: Or Where you there when it happened?
The video was clear enough that I could see & hear as if I was there.
The point is that even if staged it was a public spectacle. Not hidden or obscured in a shroud of secrecy.😎

28 minutes ago, Pioneer1 said: No, he won't be around forever but the foundation of socially accepted racism and fascism as well as the fascist restructuring of the government that he's attempting to lay COULD last for decades to come.
It could last forever if someone was willing to keep it going beyond him. I don't see that kind of movement among the MAGA base.
These people will enjoy the BS POTUS OJ is creating & when the proverbial picnic is over, they'll get in their pick-up trucks & go home.
In fact, the MAGA base is already becoming jaded. In 2 years or less, they will fade away like the Tea Party.
28 minutes ago, Pioneer1 said: For more than 10 years he's been busy making openly racist and hostile language "acceptable" in the media and in society in general.
The things he's said and has encouraged his followers to say was unthinkable just 20 years ago for any private citizen to be allowed to say let alone the President.Only POTUS OJ curses & insults people on live TV. None of his followers go as hard. They use him as a proxy.
28 minutes ago, Pioneer1 said: When the media reported him saying "when a man has money women will let him do anything including grab them in the pussy".....and folks still voted for him by the millions, I knew it was down hill from there....lol.
Right. POTUS OJ made that statement before he got elected the 1st time. He was sat down for a 4-year cycle & was re-elected back into the driver's seat for a 2nd time with a ton of baggage.
POTUS OJ represents far more than the 74 million folks that voted for him. There are Independent & Democrats & non-voters living vicariously through him.
POTUS Obama was the 1st of a kind that we'll never see again in our lifetime. POTUS OJ is not equivalent to him but similar as a one-off.
I believe starting with the 2028 election, the next few POTUS will be plain in terms of their personality & actions; rather dull & boring.😎

9 minutes ago, Pioneer1 said: Lol, that's like going to the local police station and filing a complain over police brutality against one of their officers.
There are several avenues for making the case.
9 minutes ago, Pioneer1 said: Actually, knowledge and intelligence is the VERY THING that will help AfroAmericans not only face but overcome that very system!
Diplomacy only works up to a point. Look no further than the current conflict with Iran.
While they continue having high-level meetings to discuss the issues, the default is that we'll go back to blowing sh8t up & killing people if a deal cannot be reached.
Not to mention how effortlessly the USA blows up boats in the water suspected of running drugs.
Violence & war is how white folks get down when diplomacy fails.
9 minutes ago, Pioneer1 said: Knowledge and intelligence allows you to build the tools and effectively use them to get what you want accomplished in nearly any human endeavor.
That's how White folks were able to get dominate others....through knowledge and intelligence.
They were intelligent enough and knowledgeable enough to develop sophisticated weapons that allowed them to conquer and dominate.White folks have been using violence to conquer & dominate using sticks & stones. Long before advanced weaponry which is just an extension of it.
For whatever reason, you give white folks credit for being intelligent when they are barbaric more than anything else.😎
Are Things Better Today Than 40 or 50 Years Ago?
in Culture, Race & Economy
There will always be people who think [insert timeframe here] was better depending on their environment, conditions, circumstances, situation, etc.
The reality is that the present is always better for some people & not so great or worse for others.
Life is what we make it to the extent that we have any control.😎
