It's definitely both...being able to build, produce and generate wealth in addition to being able to kill in order to protect and/or amass more wealth. We really don't have to kill or destroy other non-white folks in order to be free and amass wealth.

Right. Among ourselves, colorism isn't as bad nowadays but there are still situations where dark skin is not as well accepted. Black women are keeping the cosmetics industry afloat lightening themselves up. That's because they have former military and athletic daddies who are blacker than an old taxicab. Of course, heterosexual soldiers gonna scratch some of that foreign snatch. I have zero compassion for n8gglets that chose to f8ck with broke azz white people. They could've stayed home.

Right. He wasn't on tethers or politicians during that time. I've heard it. Nowadays, I skip through his commentary listening for anything of substance. It's no secret that he's living very well out there in Cali. That's why it's a good idea to listen to various voices. Again, sifting for the positive and constructive substance in Black empowerment.

Black folks have been victims and perpetrators of colorism for 100s of years. Nowadays, these young folks like NFL QB Patrick Mahomes and RB Saquon Barkley and others aren't being demonized for having white wives and mixed offspring. Those Black men are being criminalized for victimizing white women. UofM coach wasn't in hot water for having a white wife. The side price got him hemmed up. It's not gonna happen in a system they control. They didn't lock Russell Simmons up. He was generating too much money for them. Of course, the dominant society is going to.showcase themselves above everyone else. Migration and wars have led to millions of mixed race folks running around. White people hold the keys to power and money. Some folks are going to gravitate towards them for access to it.

Tariq has been clowning tethers and Democratic bootlicks and shills for years. He didn't just start doing it. I can understand that you might want him to stop doing considering the current climate but he's consistent.

I'm curious to know how POTUS OJ will usher in a new age of success and enlightenment for AfroAmericans. So far, none of the 's thievery seems to be enriching Black folks.

Many of us know Black history. The question remains what are we going to do to right the wrongs committed against our ancestors up to present. If Black people are unwilling to kill and destroy in order to reclaim wealth stolen from us, just like Haiti, we'll remain in this position into perpetuity as well.

No way 50 million FBA/AfroAmericans can be deported anywhere. Not in 2.8 years. I believe all h8ll would break loose if a massive number of FBA/AfroAmericans come up missing. Our people would tear up and burn this sh8t down. Their voices reach a small number of Black folks than there are Black conservatives who agree with this sh8t. Neither population is significant enough to make a difference im what's happening to immigrants being deported.

Another come from behind win for da Bears. QB Caleb Williams is writing his own story up there.

Of course, because they are nosey as h8ll.

@richardmurray...maybe the white folks will read your dissertation above and be motivated to speed up the Universal Basic Income (UBI). However, if/when UBI comes to fruition, rest assured that Black folks will get the shortest end of it.

It would be unwise for FBA/AfroAmericans to get involved in white on white crime. Similar to the elders telling us to stay outta grown folks bizness. The late Dick Gregory in his wisdom advised Black folks specifically FBA/AfroAmericans stay out of it and let white folks implode on themselves under this clown azz POTUS.

It's a choice no different from Black men kicking it with non-Black women...white, Asian, Indian, Persian, Latina, etc. There's no shortage of Black male athletes and entertainers grinning and smiling with their non-Black women. Remember when Russell Simmons was married to Kimora Lee. They plastered pictures of them everywhere. Same goes for Nick Cannon & Mariah Carey and Diddy & J. Lo. Black women are doing the same thing as Black men. I wouldn't blame social conditioning. I believe it is a matter of proximity, access and preference.

The takeaway from this tragedy should be how easily white folks are willing to use lethal force on anyone. We're accustomed to unharmed Black folks being harmed and killed by law enforcement. We read about and see the death and destruction caused by pointless wars and conflicts; military and law enforcement operations. A million dead folks in the dust-up between Russia-Uktaine. Tens of thousands killed between Israel-Palestinian. A couple hundred killed in Venezuela. White folks are willing to unalive people including themselves without batting an eyelash or blinking. All of this killing is a subliminal message. White supremacists are willing to unalive anybody when it comes to power and greed. This white woman being unalived was what white supremacists consider a sacrifice.

I understand you don't like Black women choosing to kick it with non-Black men. But, I think you're reading too much into this situation. Nevermind the fact that if Coco chooses to share her sunshine with Fritz, as the great entertainer Bobby Brown sang...it's her prerogative.

Sista @Mel Hopkins...excellent observation. Humans having that ability is part of what makes life worth living.

I was referring to the employment eligible population. The same number of people used to generate unemployment statistics. Obviously, there are millions of people who cannot work for one reason or another.

Alll non-white immigrants want a comfortable spot under the system of white supremacy. Non-white immigrants don't give a d8mn about FBA/AfroAmericans. They would gladly replace us if they could do it.

POTUS OJ has contempt for democratic cities. California is getting a certain amount of smoke from this administration. Those other states are just red enough to be left alone.

All of that is happening already. We just don't hear about it. The junk food equivalent of news and accomplishment fills the airwaves. Kinda like Real Housewives of [pick a city]. In terms of leveraging our American citizenship and money with business opportunities abroad, many FBA/AfroAmericans are doing that too. It is kept on the low. Don't need h8ters from either side talking that negative sh8t.

As mentioned previously, Nigerian leadership was fine with the Isis strike on their soil.

POTUS OJ is not a reflection of ALL people. But, there are millions of people who can relate to and/or admire him in one or another.

The crazy part is the Mayor of Minneapolis and Governor Walz are being criticized by the Right in expressing their frustration with the events leading up to this tragedy. The irony of this tragedy happening one day after January 6th. On January 6th, a woman was shot and killed as she tried to further storm the Capitol. Some folks on the Right are now hailing her as a hero. Yet, the same folks are saying the woman in Minnesota assaulted police officers with her vehicle. When sh8t happens, the cognitive dissonance and what-about-ism that plays out in media is beyond ridiculous. These people are supposed to be adults.

Excellent post. A long time ago, I recognized POTUS OJ as the personification of racism white supremacy and the worst of humanity. This guy represents millions of white men and a few wannabes among non-white men too. Many women are dealing with it as they have been conditioned to do by culture. Demagogues do not come a dime a dozen. There will be no MAGA torch-bearer when this clown expires. Thankfully, POTUS OJ is too old to wield power more than a few years. The main thing is how much damage he'll do in the process. Hang on to your seats. The ride could get bumpy. In my eternal optimism, I believe this too shall pass.

ICE showed in Minnesota to round up folks on the back end the fraud scandal that has dogged the state over several weeks. Unfortunately, a 37-year-old woman was fatally shot as her vehicle appeared to be heading towards an ICE officer. He pulled his weapon and fired into the driver side window. It was only a matter of time before someone either got seriously injured or killed as ICE runs around in cities rounding people up. What started as an immigration enforcement initiative is quickly becoming a weird game of bounty hunter. So far, neither DHS Secretary nor POTUS OJ has said the right thing in the aftermath of this tragedy. I don't believe the USA can keep a lid on this powder keg for 2.8 years until the next election.
