OK. That's some garbage thrown up on YouTube. I was referring to real artists. I don't think you will find commercially released Hip-Hop music with non-Black folks disrespecting Black folks.

@Troy makes a great analogy as it relates to communication. Humans project that aliens will be some type of super-humanoid who is omniscient, well versed in all languages or capable of mind-reading, plays every instrument, builds anything and knows every dance move. Humans have gone to great lengths to communicate with primates. Teaching sign language and putting clothes on them is the best we've been able to do. Only in the Planet of the Apes movies are primates almost indistinguishable from humans. ETs wouldn't even be that close if they existed.

To this resident agnostic, it seems that if Black folks poured their mental and physical energy into building wealth instead of religion, they would truly be FREE. I don't understand how someone can profess to be a scholar in anything and broke as f8ck. Same goes for peddling religion or doing God's work and begging for money. None of it makes a whole lot of sense. Digesting a bunch of useless information and/or becoming absorbed in the unknown seems like a form of deflection and escapism from reality.

Modern equivalent of The National Enquirer and Star magazines. I'm sure you all are old enough to remember those rags being in the grocery stores and newsstands. Funny thing is here we are many decades later and gossip is usually centered around 1) celebrities and 2) UAPs/UFOs and aliens.

I'm fairly knowledgeable when it comes to music. True...rappers have gone back and forth battling on records. Most recently Kendrick Lamar roasted Drake on a diss record. Drake is still Black. But, I cannot think of any non-Black rappers who have been disrespectful towards Black folks on records. It's almost like white folks being afraid to use the N word. Both Fat Joe and Tariq are over 50 years old. They know better.

Olga reads like a woman's name. Looked ill is synonymous with falling on hard times. Those states have enough shelters and missions to house the homeless. Nobody has to live on the streets there. Those states won't have any rowdy azz non-white folks either. Dysfunctional white folks will be well taken care of there. In fact, if I was unhoused, I'd make my way to one of those states instead of a crowded major city.

If Fat Joe has a beef with Tariq, he's old enough to know better than to clap back publicly. Tariq is a bit extra and over the top in clowning and complaining about tethers. But, the comedy is a part of his hustle. Unfortunately, social media allows these overly emotional folks to beef virtually.

A person wouldn't be homeless in those states. Then again, they wouldn't allow non-white, poor to flood it either. The plot thickens if this woman is truly white. They will use her to make the case for deporting illegal immigants. That guy has gone from running around with the Guardian Angels to running for public office. We'll find out soom enough how this subway murder is prosecuted compared to the last one.

Sure. Nuyoricans are linked to Hip-Hop culture. But, they still don't get a pass to be disrespectful towards us.

Yep. The media is selling a lot of *news* with these stories without receipts. @Pioneer1, I agree, nobody should be rushing to make judgements based on rumors and allegations. America has just re-elected a POTUS who had more charges than a Visa or Mastercard.

Irrelevant without context or solution. The majority of Americans are literate to the degree necessary to thrive and survive. Then, considering the POTUS-elect is by his own admission a non-reader, hopefully, his success and achievement will not inspire younger people to stop reading.

Right. Religion and UAP/UFO/ET have one thing in common....no receipts from the Authority. just a bunch of humans running around making up sh8t and profiteering from it.

Understood. Real life always comes first. Handle your bizness. They need to take it up with the women who're giving up the snatch box. Being jealous isn't going to solve anything. Comes across like a child pouting and crying over a toy. Feeling some kind of way solves nothing. Do something about it. Give the women a reason not to go astray. Right. We should have understood a long time ago that we have no *friends* amomg other groups of people. These other people can only be associates if/when it comes to building strategic alliances. However, as long as Black folks want to 1) sleep with these other people or 2) kick it with them, there's an opportunity to be compromised.

Yep. She was a nanny.

@Pioneer1, glad you decided to pop in and chop it up with the family. People are surprised because they don't want to believe other people are that ignorant or naive or petty. Racism exists for several reasons. We need to Whack-A-Mole that sh8t every time it pops up. Puerto Rican rapper Fat Joe was given a Hip-Hop pass. Black folks should have never allowed him to feel comfortable talking about us recklessly though. Same goes for white actor Michael Rapaport. He was talking real greasy when the Gaza sh8t popped off. Rapaport felt that Black folks should have sided with the Jews. Nope. Hold your own nutz.

It's all good mayne. Around these parts we say, "near one of you mf's bet not say sh8t...".

I figured she was a Black woman when they 1) stood around and let her burn and 2) didn't release her name within 24 hours.

Kevin Samuels had carved out a nice niche for himself. That dude was hilarious. He gave both men and women the bizness. Gone too soon.

Part of his POTUS Carter's story is that he was raised by a Black woman.

It's definitely something to consider. Results cannot get any worse.

I believe that's why they made a mockery of DA Fani Willis and her extra-curricular activities. A power move was pulled to show America that neither DA Willis nor a major Black city could take down a certified white supremacist.

I'm going out on a limb here but maybe their bat signal and super-powers don't work on non-Black people.

Right. That would make humans interesting for about 10 seconds before it was time to get back into the spaceship and bounce. Otherwise, understanding the habitability of other planets or lack thereof would reduce extra-terrestrial lifeforms to microbial extremophiles at best. The only way it would travel to Earth is hitching a ride on asteroid. Kinda like us. No UAP/UFO.

I knew you were going to point it out. Eyes are just one part of our sensory system. Any one part of our sensory system can be compromised. That's why I added confirm which requires a combination of senses. Paintings can be forged and manipulated too. The one thing they have in common is white folks dropping in to study and steal information from them and white folks writing books about their *discoveries*. So, over several generations, we should believe the Reptilians have been running the show.

They don't have any proof either. Statistics and data are easily manipulated. Look no further than recent election polls. No sir. I know how it *looks* to disbelieve in such but neither arrogance nor ignorance is the source of my doubt. The *problem* I have is that it has taken 200,000 years of existence for humans to plunge the depths of the ocean or get off the ground into outer space. We still cannot survive in either environment for too long without equipment. We cannot travel in light-years. I would love to witness UAP/UFO/ETs given what we *know* scientifically about the universe in terms of distances and how planets are constructed and composed, time/space continuum, etc. An extra-terrestrial lifeform capable of building a craft that travels light-years and survives any planetary condition would mean they have mastered every limitation known to humankind in terms of physics. I think it would be awesome and welcome *something* to show up here on Earth capable of dropping a higher level of knowledge on humans. I'm not going to hold my breath waiting on it though. Oxygen is still important to my survival.
