  1. They are willing to take jobs Black folks no longer want to do & jobs that require skills AI cannot do. White supremacists are going to use AI to put *educated* Black folks in a real trick bag. That gravy train is going to dry up in a few years. The people who develop skills working with their hands will always be able to find a job.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  2. What did his eulogy influence or motivate people to do? Every POTUS has a mandate to fulfill upon taking the job. It comes from the most powerful groups of people. The whereabouts of his wife always seems to be the question whenever POTUS Obama makes an appearance without her. Former FLOTUS Obama is making her own moves out in these streets. Clearly, she's not tethered to her husband. It's funny that nobody asks why POTUS OJ doesn't wear a wedding ring & FLOTUS always looks like she's being forced to make appearances with him whenever she does show up. The Clintons look more like business partners than a happily married couple. That's mainly because their marriage is an arrangement. Expectations are very different when it comes to white men & their wives.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  3. Right. Same mentality leads to their tribalism. Sure. Some men of all races & ethnicities try to gatekeep the women. It's hard for minorities anywhere to access power. Degrees of separation are negligible when it comes to how Arabs & Persians perceive Black folks. I don't believe either group really cares for Black folks beyond getting money from them. Absolutely not. Right. No different from the USA. We see how that's working out for Black folks who are still dealing with it in one way or another here in the USA. I'd imagine it's even worse for Black folks as minorities in Persian & Arab countries. We already there is anti-Black sentiment around the planet. The question is what are Black folks going to do about it. I believe Black folks have enough knowledge, skills, abilities among ourselves that we can close ranks & not be bothered with those who aren't down with us for whatever reason. There's nothing that compels Black folks to be around people who are steeped in anti-Black sentiment.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  4. Due to their religious & cultural beliefs, it might be frowned upon within Iran. However, if one can afford to take an Iranian woman elsewhere & she's willing go...surely, it can happen. There's no shortage of Iranian (Persian) & Arab women living outside their home countries. I'd imagine some of them are kicking it with non-Iranian men. The question is why would you want a Persian or Arab woman when there's no shortage of available sistaz. Israel imported Africans through their colonization efforts. Why should FBA/AfroAmericans question the way Persian & Arab countries handle their bizness? I'm not so sure that questioning those folks will enrich our lives.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  5. Former POTUS Barack Obama still has the gift of oratory. He gave an excellent eulogy for Rev. Jesse Jackson. Glad Rev. Jackson's celebration of life was well done. Despite the fact that the white supremacists did not allow him to lie in state at the US Capitol. Another example that Black folks don't have to wait on white folks for validation &/or acknowledgement. In the words of the late, great James Brown, "I don't want nobody to give me nothin', just open up the door & I'll get it myself." Thanks to everyone who made Rev. Jesse Jackson homegoing a stately affair. Job well done. RIP Rev. Jesse Jackson. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  6. Good luck. Educating the masses about race & class status would solve all of the world problems. There is no appetite for that level of enlightenment especially among the greedy & powerful (plutocrats) who use it to control world order.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  7. I'm definitely not advocating that Black folks become warring factions against each other. Absolutely not. Right. True riders in the struggle for freedom & independence are already on code. Those Black folks throughout the diaspora know the deal. Exactly. Weeding out includes all Black folks who are working against their own in one way or another. Strategic alliances means building with like-minded Black folks across the diaspora. Ideally, I would love to see all Black people united against the common enemy...the system of racism white supremacy.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  8. There will always be folks who try to infiltrate & undermine a movement. Have to be wary of & vigilant about weeding them out. Otherwise, the FBA/AfroAmerican movement that promotes delineation from misaligned folks; unity within & building strategic alliances is ideal. Reprogramming people takes a a great deal of effort. Neither Pan-Africanism nor Black/Brown alliances has really worked out in that regard. Other Black & Brown folks have reaped the benefits that FBA/AfroAmericans paved the way from them to be in the USA. Non-FBA/AfroAmericans are still throwing a lot of shade at FBA/AfroAmericans & more aligned with the system of racism white supremacy. IMO, FBA/AfroAmericans are better served pouring that energy into unification & reparations.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  9. Israel has the full support & backing from the USA. Hands just as dirty.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  10. Iran definitely got a Saturday morning surprise. One day they're at the negotiating table & the next day...leadership turned into charcoal. Gotcha. I started a thread for the sake of posterity. Someone reading this forum years from now will knoe that we acknowledged Operation Epic Fury. White folks are giddy as h8ll that Iran has been hit up. They believe death to America will no longer be heard. Otherwise, this is another conflict in which FBA/AfroAmericans have no stake. This is not our bizness. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  11. There's a huge Hispanic voting block in Texas. State Rep. James Talarico carried most of them. Hopefully, Democratic party defending n8gglets won't blame FBA/AfroAmerican men for Rep. Jasmine Crockett losing her senate bid. If there's any question about which way Hispanic folks lean when it comes to Black candidates...Texas is Exhibit A. Unfortunately, they use Rep. Crockett's soundbites painting a sassy, loud Black woman against her when it comes to non-Black voters. I totally support the way Rep. Crockett rolls & carries herself. I hope she never backs down. She should keep giving those clowns the bizness.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  12. I believe it is intentional. Right. One must believe they have power. Decades of conditioning to be weak has an effect. Agreed. A form of Stockholm Syndrome is definitely a by-product of systemic oppression. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  13. Of course, those responsible for bringing AI technology to market are going to build bias into it. Therein lies the problems with being powerless & having little or no input &/or control over the process. Yet, the same people will be the ultimate consumers of their own replacement &/or demise.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  14. Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett (46%) lost in her Senate primary bid to James Talarico (53%). Democratic nominee Talarico will have an uphill battle against whoever becomes the Republican nominee as Sen. John Cornyn & Ken Paxton head to a runoff. However, it remains to be seen if Talarico can do better than Beto O'Rourke did among voters back in 2018. A Democrat hasn't won Texas statewide Senate race since 1994. The next major political move for Rep. Crockett would be a cabinet-level position in the administration of a Democratic POTUS. Until such a time, I would imagine Rep. Crockett will continue in Congress. Another possibility is that she could become a future House Leader.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  15. Thought brotha @Pioneer1 started a thread regarding this latest dust-up in the Middle East. Back in June, Israel launched a 12 day war against Iran. The USA dropped operation Midnight Hammer to supposedly destroy Iranian nuclear capabilities. This past weekend, on Saturday morning, all h8ll broke loose when the US & Israel launched a coordinated campaign to wipe out Iranian leadership & nuclear & military capabilities. Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei & 40 members of his leadership group were killed in an airstrike on his compound. Intel from The Mossad & CIA was used to help military forces strategically hit Iranian targets while minimizing civilian casualties. We'll probably never know how many innocent women & children were killed as a result of these military operations. Remains to be seen who will emerge as Iranian leadership. More than likely they will be friendly towards the west & its allies. With full US backing & support, between razing Palestinian & toppling the Iranian theocratic regime, maybe the side piece, Israel will sleep better at night. Iran saber-rattled death to America for almost a half-century. In less than 48 hours, their leadership was reduced to charcoal. These whites are sending a message to non-whites around the world. They will do whatever ot takes to maintain power.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  16. Owner of Arista Records & music business executive, Clive Davis is the Jew who made them rich. Of course, it comes with a price. Clive Davis is the same Jew who was behind the late great Phyllis Hyman too. Go figure.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  17. IMO, storytelling in music has been gone for a long time. The times we live in have a huge effect on songwriting & music. Storytelling through music has taken a back seat to making people move. Hip-Hop still has MCs who can be storytellers. Otherwise, Popular music usually caters to younger people. Their experiences & points of reference may not facilitate storytelling in their music. At least not anything older folks can relate. Hip-Hop is the final frontier where storytelling is still viable. Gotta dig to find it tho. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  18. It was not my intention to discard your comments. True. Corrections can be made but it requires a ton of vision, effort & action.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  19. Whenever possible, white folks will always drag Black folks through their mud especially if it takes any negative light away from them. That's why it's important for blacks folks to stay far away from white folks sh8t. It usually doesn't end well for Black folks when white folks sh8t hits the fan. Those short-term benefits Black folks get from being around white folks in their debauchery may not be worth it in the long run.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  20. Correct. There are pics of former POTUS Clinton chilling with Epstein. He doesn't deny any of it. Only that he didn't see or do anything criminal. POTUS OJ actually doesn't feel that former POTUS Clinton should have been put through deposition. Probably because OJ knows being brought in for deposition sets a precendent for if/when he becomes a former POTUS. The arrested folks in other countries is a smoke screen. They're trying to throw people off the scent of others who are guilty of far worse.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  21. Epstein himself is supposed dead. Nothing else he can do to anybody nor can he be held accountable &/or brought to justice. Right now, they are trying to protect the rich & powerful folks who enjoyed themselves with Epstein. In real-time, we are witnessing the lengths to which white folks will go to cover up their debauchery especially when rich & powerful folks are involved.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  22. Understood. One thinks differently when knowing you're better off than the average white person. Right. Being better off than the average white person does provide the evidence & proof of confirmation. Sure. One has to put in the work to achieve tangibles. It's not going to fall outta the sky from the fairy.๐Ÿคฃ For a long time, FBA/AfroAmericans were brainwashed into believing in non-violence. One of the effects of religion is that it is used to reduce Black folks to a child-like state & make them docile. A child can be intelligent but they still have to be trained in certain aspects of survival. Stop right there. No one should be telling him anything. He's already wasted his life & he's closer to the end of it. I did mention it. All marriages are business arrangements. There's a reason marriage is called a contract & has to be certified. Best way to know marriage is a contractual business arrangement..try to get a divorce.๐Ÿคฃ That's why some people will spend a whole lifetime together; raising childen & buying properties & taking vacations etc. without paperwork.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  23. https://www.politico.com/news/2026/02/27/clintons-depositions-epstein-trump-00805449 Former POTUS Bill Clinton & FLOTUS Hilary Clinton separately sat for 6 hour closed door depositions with Congressional lawmakers. These depositions are part of the ongoing Epstein saga. Former POTUS Clinton is mentioned in the files & has taken pictures too. Former FLOTUS Clinton claims she didn't know Epstein & Ghislane Maxwell was just an acquaintance. Both former POTUS & FLOTUS/Secretary of State maintain they either didn't do &/or see anything wrong. Dangerous precedent being set. Especially if POTUS OJ is forced to give a deposition whenever he leaves office.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  24. FBA/AfroAmericans in predominantly Black cities & communities scattered throughout the USA feel a similar sense of freedom.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  25. Regardless of how Jews are subdivided, they have organizations like B'nai B'rith & Anti-Defamation League & Jewish Defense League ready, willing & able to level charges of antisemitism against anyone who insults them.๐Ÿ˜Ž
