They know how to confiscate any type of recording device to avoid unauthorized leaks. I believe editing is still worthwhile despite any type of recording spillage. The official recordings should be on point. Black folks need the same mechanisms Jews have when they accuse people of being antisemitic. Racism as a system does not have to be eternal. It can be dismantled. Sure. Human beings will have their biases. It should never be used to oppress, malign or mistreat others.😎

Rev. Jesse Louis Jackson was one of the last civil rights warriors. The recognition & celebration of Rev. Jackson's life are definitely befitting for a champion to Black people & humanity as whole. Thanks for everything. RIP Rev. Jesse Louis Jackson.😎

The craziest part is the BAFTA is pre-recorded prior to broadcast. They edited out anything political &/or profane. Yet, they did not edit out the supposed Tourette's Syndrome outburst. The guy yells out n8gger when the show is dead silent & at the moment 2 Black actors are onstage. Neither the guy nor BAFTA offered a real apology for the outburst. Black folks haven't demanded it. Just another reminder that we still have a long way to go when it comes to racism. Hope it is not being normalized & accepted.😎

Banks exist to hold & lend money. Either they serve their purpose or not. The worst bank will fail. As I've mentioned before, I'm not beholding to any rules in my responses to threads. Law enforcement would be less inclined to run up in Black folks' homes or anywhere else knowing they might be armed. Mass shooters walk into Black churches & neighborhoods because they know those places are soft targets. Beyonce's career did not generate billions of dollars based whatever crime you believe her mother committed. Jay-Z did not make billions of dollars hustling in the streets. Jay-Z earned his fortune being one of the most gifted MCs in Hip-Hop music. Your question was about a hostile takeover of a Black-owned business financed by whites. I was referring to unity as it relates to the OAAU or whatever organization. Unity only applies to the Black folks who want to be a part of it. Nobody can force Black folks to be part of the OAAU or anything else. There have been Black elected officials who served their jurisdiction and looked out for Black folks in a major way too. The Black elected officials I'm referring to did everything from affordable housing to job programs to giving multimillion dollar contracts to Black-owned businesses. Those Black elected officials empowered a lot of Black people within their jurisdiction.

My point is the Rastafarian culture & music has traveled around the planet. Not too many minorities can stake that claim.😎

Sure. The USA provides billions of dollars to many countries all over the planet in the form of soft power. However, since 1948, the USA has had an even more special relationship with Israel. Mainly because Israel is our spy in the Middle East.😎

Re-read my sentence again. OK. For a long time, NYC was the city of 8 million people. The USA has been providing billions of dollars to Israel since 1948. Do the math. Not sure why you're calling it idolatry. Not the case. 😎

Emperor Haile Selassie has been referred to as the "king of kings" among his followers. Sure. Colonized Black people will get the most support especially from white folks. However, it is no small feat & awesome that Rastafarians carved out a place for themselves & are recognized from their island nation throughout the world.😎

It looks like unity across the Black disaposa. It doesn't look like the status quo. When FBA/AfroAmericans have been provided with all of the resources fhat enable self-sufficiency & autonomy. An empty apology & non-tangibles. Black folks didn't make the printing press either. That didn't stop us from printing books, newspapers & magazines. Black folks can use tools & technology manufactured by others to produce from ourselves. Of couse I've been using a Black bank for well over 3 decades. IMO, there's no such thing as a best bank considering the purposes it serves. Self-defense & weapons training is a deterrent against attack. People are less inclined to attack those they believe are armed. Black folks should be allowed open & carry permits too. Plenty folks have become wealthy without resorting to negativity. Jay-Z & Beyonce have a combined net worth of billions of dollars. Reparations would provide the resources enabling Black self-sufficiency & autonomy. Maybe one day I'll be generous enough to outline my idea of reparations. It's more than handing out cash checks. Avoid talking negatively about other Black folks in public. Stop giving the oppressors more ammunition to use against us. Fear applies to all Blacks who are unwilling to fight for Black empowerment. No. That isn't promoting white supremacy. No. She's redistributing wealth if the firm truly becomes Black-owned. No. He's comfortable under the system of racism white supremacy. Correct. Black elected officials have an obligation to serve & protect Black folks by any means necessary.😎

Those white men need to take that issue up with the rich & powerful white men who put DEI in place. Again...no. DEI prevents white men from having it all but it doesn't put a dent in their privilege, advantages & allowances. Correct. DEI exists but it is illusory in terms of undermining white men. Fifteen million Jews is 2X the population of NYC. Those fifteen million Jews would fill almost 15 of the least populous states in the USA. Beyond money, Jews have a level of protection that isn't extended to other groups of people. Black folks do not have a similar level of investment & protection at the rate our people are oppressed, slandered, hurt &/or killled. Black folks do not have the equivalent of an Anti-Defamation League, B'nai B'rith or Jewish Defense League. That's part of the reason Jews are mentioned. They have benefited exponentially since their holocaust.😎

White folks would not allow that to happen by any means necessary with every fiber in their being & as many bullets as their weapons can hold. That truth is a fallacy under the system of white supremacy. It's all about money & power under the system of white supremacy. 😎

Garvey was correct in prophecy that a king would ne crowned somewhere in Africa. Yet, inspired by that king, Ethiopian Emperor Haile Salassie, the Rastafarians started their movement in Jamaica & spread it beyond the island nation. Rastafarians have their own tribe, culture & music.😎

Black empowerment & reparations for the original sin of slavery. Technology changes the way information is stored & accessed. Black folks are walking around with devices that provide immediate access to information & knowledge. I've always been a huge proponent of Black-owned banks. Another very important institution of which I'm a huge proponent. I also believe Black folks should be proficient in self-defense & weapons training. Black folks don't seem to have a problem buying technology or weapons by any means necessary. Black folks do not have to be corrupt in order to generate wealth. We can use our natural gifts, talents, knowledge, skills & abilities to harvest wealth. Black empowerment, self-sufficiency & autonomy. Undermining Black empowerment & promoting white supremacy. Fear of dismantling the system of white supremacy. An unwillingness to fight the system of white supremacy. An organization becomes like a fist. It is more powerful than individual fingers. The strength in numbers makes people stronger. Collectively sharing gifts, talents, knowledge, skills & abilities & a willingness to fight leads to power. Therein lies the reason a great deal of effort goes into discouraging Black unity. The enemy already knows the outcome.😎

I answered the question as presented...investing in solar power in space. If wealthy people are willing to pay non-wealthy people to work in space, surely some will go in order to make money & get away from the issues here on Earth. IMO, humans are at least a century away from being able to offer large-scale employment in space. Same goes for smaller investment opportunities.😎

Yes. It would give Black folks a platform. A whole lot of those young Black people to whom he was speaking back in the early 1960s grew up to 1) sell out, 2) live in fear & 3) take comfort under the system of racism white supremacy.😎

Fair enough. Haiti did successfully revolt against France. That was a major accomplishment. Warts & all...the USA is my birthplace. Just as I didn't choose my parents nor was it my decision the country where I was born. Those who died & were buried in the ocean didn't bear fruit on foreign soil. Rhetorically, I wonder why Marcus Garvey didn't start his movement in Jamaica. Trust & believe, there's no lack of comprehension. We know the history of Haiti too. Most of the wealthy people in a country are responsible for greed & corruption. Until people are willing to fight & seize power in order to redistribute wealth or a sky fairy comes along...the status quo will remain unchanged.😎

I didn't think about the rules to posting in your threads. Black cities cannot become states because they do not have enough Black-owned private industry to sustain them. If the white businesses/employers oull up stakes & leave where would the black folks work? The state would have to produce enough tax revenue to sustain itself & qualify for federal funds too. Small states i.e. Delaware, Rhode Island, Vermont, Connecticut, Wyoming, Utah, etc., have on thing in common. 😎

Space will be domain of the wealthy. Non-wealthy people have no reason to be concerned with outer space. They won't be able to afford any aspect of it. Those who can barely afford a place to live on this planet need not think about hopping up off the ground & going to space. At best, less than wealthy folks might be able to solar power similar to using public Wi-Fi.😎

Most people consume the cheapest bottled water they can find on sale. However, there's still higher end bottled water on store shelves too. There will always be a few writers who can make money with their skill & creativity.😎

IMO, DEI was never a threat to those who have benefitted the most from privilege, advantages & allowances...white men. White men have a monopoly on power & money that will only be overthrown by external forces &/or their own implosion. DEI like anything else was used as an illusion of providing access to opportunities.😎

A very good friend of mine is Haitian. He & his wife & other family members who immigrated to the USA have given me the whole run down on their beloved home country. They also told me why they're in no rush to go back there to live. Certain parts of Haiti are beautiful to visit. Yet, there's a lot of infrastructure work that needs to be done in the country. The biggest impediment...greed & corruption. Don't know why you keep insisting I'm an integrationist. I do not love the USA. It just happens to be my home country. I'm not fortunate enough to have another country to which I can return. As always. I call balls & strikes. There is nothing anti-Black about me. Haiti doesn't have a double standard. It is a fact that France has been collecting money from Haiti for a couple hundred years now. Part of the reason is Haitian greed & corruption starting with the lighter-skinned folks running around down there. The intent was not an uneven argument. But, I can see where your sensitivity & affection for Haiti might make it seem that way. That has not stopped Haitians from immigrating to the USA. Just think...Wyclef could've started The Fugees down there if his family hadn't posted up in New Jersey.🤣 A very small minority of Haitians are wealthy. More than likely, they're among the greedy & corrupt. That's why Bar-B-Que was running amok.😁 You don't have to reword what I have written in order to give your lecture/sermon. There you go again casting unwarranted aspersions against us. Most people who have a bias one way or another tend to lack balance in perspective. Regardless of what I type in calling balls & strikes, I always wanted Black folks all over the planet to win. I believe in tough love. What I think & type about my people...Black folks....might be abrasive sometimes. Our people...Black folks are just as guilty of being greedy & corrupt & full of sh8t & excuses for why they can't do better. I'll never accept it. The system of racism white supremacy is a big enough enemy. Black folks don't need to be enemies among themselves. Solves nothing. In fact, it helps white folks maintain power & control.😎

I do not agree with how the USA was founded. I detest the original sin of slavery. I believe enslavers...white folks & Native Americans and anybody else who participated in &/or benefitted from the transatlantic slave trade owes a huge debt to FBA/AfroAmericans. Reparations. Cut the checks. However...I was born & raised in the USA. It is my birthplace. It is my *home* country. While I have options, there is no other country I want to go & live & consider home. I do have every *right* to thrive in the USA. I have to play the hand I was dealt under the system of racism white supremacy.😎

Right. Very similar to putting toys in cereal boxes. The reason modern TVs are so cheap nowadays is due to the amount of money advertisers expect to make based on viewing habits. That is why laws & police exist...to provide order & protect & serve the interests of capitalists. A whole lot of cash money flows through Las Vegas. There is a reason the place has never been hijacked & taken over by armed guerillas. The same thing applies to the USA in general. Despite crime statistics & other ills in society, the USA has never had reason to fear being 1) overthrown or 2) invaded. Fiscal capitalism benefits so many people directly & indirectly that folks from all corners will rise up to protect & defend it.😎

There is no proof that this happened. I don't believe Black folks have the resources, willingness & desire to investigate the credibility of such claims. If the government can do a great job of keep white folks dazed & confused about Epstein while protecting the rich & powerful, they can certainly block Black folks from finding out anything.😎

Many Africans have been brainwashed into believing white folks are some type of gods walking on earth. Tangent... I remember when n8gglets would grin & smile & try to talk *properly* whenever white folks were around. I wear my hood badge proudly & have the matching swag. I've never given 2 f8cks about what white folks think &/or feel about me. I've always felt that Black folks are *better* than any other group of people on the planet. We are more naturally gifted & talented. Our people just have a problem & it's a big one...Black folks don't believe they are the best people on the planet. As a result, Black folks allow these other groups of people to bully them in different ways. The fear & powerlessness is sickening. That's why I encourage Black folks to learn self-defense & weapons training. Learn how to protect & defend oneself. If violence ever pops off...I don't believe marching & praying will change a d8mn thing. Religion won't work either. Gotta be prepared to fight & die. Back to the regularly scheduled program... While there are some thirsty sistaz who will play with vanilla ice cream all day long, no different from Black men & snow bunnies, most FBA/AfroAmerican women have not been colonized to the point of believing white men are *better* than Black men. African women will marry a white man in a NY minute if it means JAPA...getting a pass up out her home country.😎
