  1. Reads like the majority of FBA/ADOS Black folks are stuck in a infinite loop of imprisonment within the system of racism white supremacy. I believe the majority of FBA/ADOS Black folks have some type of religious &/or spiritual belief. It is the opiate, coping mechanism to deal with their existence.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  2. I do not believe Mayor Bowser could have gotten laws on the books in time to stop white nationalists from marching into DC. DC elected officials & law enforcement probably knew white nationalists were coming into the city to attend their Great American State Fair. They couldn't do a d8mn thing about it.๐Ÿคฃ In reading the KKK act of 1871, it does not designate the KKK as a terrorist group. The act doesn't infringe on their constitutional rights either. The act was ignored shortly after it was enacted. I don't believe southern states would have KKK laws on the books. Also, a whole bunch of white racists including KKK members are in law enforcement in the south. Black law enforcement didn't want the smoke that would have jumped off if they had confronted those white nationalists who were exercising their constitutional rights. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  3. School, work, church, bars, clubs, social gatherings, etc. Plenty places for men & women to interact Before people become successful, there are several avenues for confidence building...family, friends, mentors, classes, sports, military, social clubs, etc. Confidence isn't a primary trait in men. Often times, it has to be built up in them. Maybe we live in different worlds. I know what I see, hear & witness on a regular basis & over a lifetime of experience.๐Ÿ˜‰ I've already mentioned that being able to afford i.e. pay makes some men more attractive to women. Especially those they wouldn't be able to get otherwise.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  4. The Mayor issued policy giving law enforcement authority to stop & frisk. Exactly. I wouldn't be surprised if the federal gov't told the DC Mayor to stay outta the way of the Great American Fair & it's attendees. Move b8tch...get out the way.๐Ÿคฃ What would they have charged with if no laws were broken? I'm definitely not making any excuses for them. I do know about law & politics that there is nuance in everything. There is no legal designation of the KKK as a such a group. Same here. That dude was a real hero.๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฟ The white supremacists wanted him arrested & locked up for doing his job. He was legally within his right to take that shot & he's still free because of it.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  5. I didn't know there was a place men could go to be instructed in attracting women. I figured Hitch was just another Will Smith movie.๐Ÿคฃ They don't have to learn how to play games. Attracting women takes confidence. Feel free to change it but thrle fact remains, a man doesn't have to be handsome or intelligentor wealthy or worldly or sophisticated to attract women. Sure. Confidence can be increased. Again...semantics. IMO, Incels are any dudes who have a problem gettingwomen for whatever reason. I'm lumping Incels together like a barrel of lame azz hermit crabs.๐Ÿคฃ I know a whole lotta dudes who are unattractive in every sense of the word yet they never have a problem getting women. Confidence is their asset.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  6. Gotcha. Makes sense.๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฟ Right. World population is always an estimated figure. We know it is more than several hundred million & less than 10 billion people.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  7. Umbrarchist is the dude who talks about the twin towers, accounting, depreciation & planned obsolescence.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  8. Yep. Billionaires die just like everybody else. Not following that one. There are 8 billion people on the Earth. That is 1 thousand times more people than the population of NYC which is about 8,000,000 people. Modern technology makes it fairly easy to get a ballpark figure on the world population.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  9. The Unites States of America just bombed Iran. The question people are asking is...what did we accomplish there. Vladamir Putin eliminates his enemies. Putin does not charm people with any tpe of intellect. Putin kills anybody, man or woman, he sees as an adversary or threat to his power. The reason POTUS OJ doesn't f8ck with Putin is because 1) he admires dictators & 2) Putin has the drop on his azz too. Game recognizes game. Nothing to do with intelligence. Zero sum. Instigating & fueling violence is an accessory. If you hand a weapon to someone & they use it on someone else, you're going to be charged with a crime too. Kemet was intelligent long before the white folks who conquered them. Those white folks had to catch Kemet slipping into decline. Like beating up an old blind man who has no arms or teeth.๐Ÿ˜ Bottom line is those men are revered for death & destruction; their willingness to commit extreme violence. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  10. The population has definitely increased exponentially over the centuries due to better nutrition & medicine & vaccines & living conditions, etc. The population would be even greater if millions of people weren't killed by wars & diseases. Consider the number of people that won't be born as a result of current conflicts around the world.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  11. Nobody is advocating for dudes to be heathens & barbarians when it comes to women. A man can shoot his shot without being crass or disrespectful. How he reacts to getting shot down is the key. There is nothing new under the sun. The laws of nature remain unchanged as it relates to human relationships. A real man knows how to shoot his shot without subscribing to &/or taking pills. Women will respond accordingly. There's no other explanation for 8 billion people on this planet. Somebody is scoring. If a handful of American men want to sit around claiming a pill color while in a circle complaining & jerking off among themselves...let them whack a mole. In the meantime, real dudes will be out in these streetz getting that snatch-box the old-fashioned way. I've got plenty bail-money if they need a bondsman.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  12. You have every right to blame Black city officials & law enforcement for not hopping on the subway trains & arresting those white nationalists. The same amount of power they would have needed to keep the National Guard out of the DC. That was ordered over & above their heads straight from the Feds. That is based on an assumption that DC law enforcement knew those white nationalists would be riding the train from Maryland to DC. Even if law enforcement had arrested the white nationalists on trumped up charges, they definitely would have been released immediately after a phone call from POTUS OJ. The whole exercise of locking them up would have proved nothing & been a waste of time. Like any other group, the KKK has a 1st amendment right to freedom of speech & assembly. They can get a permit to march in any city. Black law enforcement definitely won't be allowed to infringe on white folks' constitutional rights.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  13. IMO, there is no comparison between street-level violence/power & wars to dominate & control entire groups of people, ,land & resources. However, it doesn't take a whole of intelligence to conquer another nation. It's been ongoing since the beginning of time with sticks & stones. Vladamir Putin is not the most intelligent person in Russia. Nor are his cronies the most intelligent. However, Putin is brutal. Semantics. White folks have been barbaric for as long as they have been around. That hunter & gatherer mentality has never left them. Black folks are tribal but not inherently violent. White folks use their tribalism to instigate genocidal conflicts among them. Germans provided the weapons that Rwandans used against each other. White folks were barbaric long before they gained any semblance of intelligence. In fact, white folks used their barbarism & willingness to kill & destroy to overcome the more intelligent people who were non-violent. Kemet was the most advanced civilization in every way long before white folks figured out how to clean themselves, read & write & build.๐Ÿ˜ History portrays the most ruthless men who were responsible for killing millions of people as barbarians instead scholars. Nobody ever really takes the intelligence of serial killers into consideration either. They are labeled as violent monsters. Not intellectuals.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  14. There is nothing law enforcement could have done if they were not breaking any laws. This is the same administration that pardoned the January 6th insurrectionists. Remember....DC law enforcement was criticized for their handling of that situation & arresting the rioters. Black elected leaders & city officials do not have power when it comes to white people. In fact, the laws don't apply to white folks in the same way as non-white folks.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  15. I respect your position but know that your contributions to the forum are not a waste of time. I look forward to reading your posts. Every birthday, your personal holiday, is a milestone to celebrate. We're thankful that you're still on this side of glory. Please do not take offense that I'm unwilling to accept your resignation.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  16. They don't have power behind them. The system of racism white supremacy is a machine. Being unconquerable & not colonized; defense takes violence. Intelligence & rationalization i.e. diplomacy only works up to a point. The system of racism white supremacy doesn't subscribe to that belief. They use moral relativism & situational ethics (PBT). If Black folks were truly as brutal as white folks, they would have gone to war with them & never stopped until they were left alone. White folks have been barbaric for 10,000 years. White folks have killed each other & anyone else while spreading throughout the planet. Technology has changed the way white folks kill in the form of advanced weaponry but the end result remains the same....a bunch of dead people. Right now, there is a conflict between Russia-Ukraine. A million dead people between them for no good reason. The US bombed Iran & killed several hundred people. Again, for no good reason whatsoever. POTUS OJ didn't even get Congressional approval. Just started dropping bombs on the people. Bombing accidently killed 168 innocent children in a school. Wrong target. So much for intelligent recognizance. The willingness to use violence in order to kill & destroy people is more barbaric than intelligent.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  17. Agreed. That's why I don't buy into the excuses from red pill & incel dudes. They are lazy. Lame azz dudes won't even get on the court to take those shots.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  18. The world population increasing 4 times in 100 years is explosive. Some people especially among the global elite believe the world is over-populated & that it should be decreased. That could be a part of the reason there is no cure for certain diseases & pandemics are being tested & all types of sh8t happening to slow down birthrates. There is enough room on the planet for several billion more people. Human greed won't allow it.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  19. Same here. I mentioned that as well. Some people don't want to stay in their lane.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  20. During the holiday weekend, members of Patriot Front, a white supremacist group showed up in DC for the MAGA rally, er, Great American Fair: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.hindustantimes.com/trending/us/defining-image-of-america-july-4-photo-of-black-woman-surrounded-by-patriot-front-members-on-dc-metro-goes-viral-101783208145661-amp.html Advocate.comMan in viral D.C. Metro photo says he was โ€˜terrifiedโ€™ as...Roswell Encina, a gay Filipino American civic leader, said the Fourth of July encounter with Patriot Front was frightening and impossible to separate from American history.While people may have been uncomfortable with masked men surrounding them in an already confined space, there was no confrontation or violence on the subway trains. I believe we will see more of the same over next 2.5 years as these people are emboldened by & receiving top cover from the current administration. For people of faith, only thing Black people can do is stay in their prayer closet & hope the sky fairy will keep them protected by the blood of his son.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  21. The turn of century being 74 years away, unless there is a major catastrophic event, I doubt the world population will drop by several billions of people. IOW, I believe there will still be 8 billion or more people walking around on the Earth in the year 2300. Of course, the chances of people over 25 years old today being around to confirm &/or witness the year 2300 i.e. living to 99 years or older are are very low.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  22. While there have been several Black movements in the USA dating back to slave revolts & Exodusters & Pan Africanism & Civil Rights, etc., a majority of Black folks have not embraced any one of them. Along similar lines, starting a political party in the USA has been a non-starter because Black folks vote predominantly Democratic for many decades now & counting. The largest movement to which Black folks belong is Christianity. Unfortunately, religious folks aren't overly interested in power & self-reliance & autonomy. Religion is an opiate that keeps Black adherents transfixed on toiling in life towards meeting the sky fairy & taking up residence in heaven when they die. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  23. @aka Contrarian ....you already know @Pioneer1 will clap back.๐Ÿ˜ As boxing trainers & referees say...protect yourself at all times.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  24. IMO, AfroAmericans should celebrate or not as they see fit. Same goes for every other holiday. More importantly, AfroAmericans should be trying to figure out collectively how to get reparations for what our ancestors built.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  25. Looks like @aka Contrarian took a page from your book, er, movie idea & used AI to flip the script.๐Ÿคฃ Again, you two going back & forth is worth the price of admission from where I sit.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
