  1. Jordan Neely's father is already being framed as an opportunist who had little or nothing to do with helping his son. Hopefully, they will win the civil rights case. Clearly not enough Black folks are taking justice into their own hands to send this message to racists and white supremacists...don't f8ck with us. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  2. A man never denies attractiveness. The degree (highly) lies in the eyes of the beholder. Sure. Black men don't seem to have enough power to change the anti-Black narrative other cultures have been fed. A man over 25 years old should not be thinking with his manhood.๐Ÿคฃ Fair access doesn't override freedom of choice. If the women aren't choosing Black men for whatever reason, that's not a violation of civil rights. Not at all. Non-Black folks have very little regard for us. False equivalence. N8gglets destroyed sh8t they didn't own and went back to shopping there after it was rebuilt by the same non-Black folks. Looks like they maintain the system of racism white supremacy. Black folks are using what power they have to survive in the system of racism white supremacy.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  3. We don't know if people are legimitely crazy or high on drugs or both.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  4. Absolutely, an incoming POTUS has some latitude in reallocating the budget. Congress still has to sign off on it. Clearly, governments do not deal with finance in accordance with this economic corner. ๐Ÿ˜ We can also blame the stock market for the economic *game*. The money in an ATM has limits. ๐Ÿคฃ *Printing money* as debt is that black card with no credit limit.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  5. That combination of factors is one part of it. Technology has shrunk globe too. As a result, people have access to more information. Education and economic opportunities are huge factors too. Travel allows people to live in different environments, see different places and experience new things. Several factors are enabling people to mix and match even beyond their own cultures. Deception. Some men will lie and cheat and steal in order to get ahead. Luck. Some women have needs to release. They will satisfy themselves with Mr. Right Now...a dude is *not good* for them over the long run. Lucky winner. Temporarily. You won that round of the game. Needs were met in that moment. No harm no foul.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  6. Not around these parts. Keep in mind most of the dudes I know are over half-century old now. They've already settled down. FBA/ADOS men do not control the money and power in the United States. I gather you feel that because FBA/ADOS men are s8xually superior they should be entitled to the same perks as white men. If such is the case, you are misguided bro. Tell Mr. Roarke and Tattoo it's time for you to bounce from Fantasy Island.๐Ÿคฃ Desegregation and the Civil Rights movement was an effort to provide Black folks with equal opportunity to white folks. I don't believe Dr. King's Dream included and folks were marching so that FBA/ADOS men could have easy access to Asian, Arab and Indian women.๐Ÿคฃ H8ll, considering that white women were still off limits back in the 1960s, there weren't enough non-Black women in the US for FBA/ADOS men to be attracted. It wasn't until US military servicemen were deployed to other parts of the world that non-Black women even showed up on the radar. Immigration in the 1970s and 1980s brought an influx of non-Black people into the US. So, you can imagine to whom non-Black people feel this country belongs. Again, they have been fed an anti-Black narrative. Black folks do not have enough power to keep them out of America. Black folks have to become powerful enough to call shots.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  7. I believe NY DA Alvin Bragg who's also Black was responsible for handling this case. DA Bragg filed a couple charges against the killer. He dropped the most serious charge. Hoped lesser charge would convict. Nothing stuck. Acquitted. The family is pursuing a civil case. That would only provide money if they win their case. The killer still won't be punished. So far, POTUS Biden's Department of Justice hasn't gotten involved in the case. Considering their time is winding down, I seriously doubt they will charge the white killer with Civil Rights violations. The incoming administration under POTUS OJ definitely won't be pursuing federal charges in this case. During a post-trial press conference, brotha Harry from BLM said the quiet out loud in terms of Black self-defense and vigilantism. Black people have to take justice into their own hands if they want to stop this sh8t from happening. Otherwise, Black people will always be sitting ducks for racists killers to get away with murder.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  8. Iron Mike is still a celebrity. Of course people will around him when he's in public. But, I'm willing to bet that all by himself, Iron Mike jumps in his vehicles and rides around in Nevada or wherever he resides now. Re-read what I wrote. No moving goalpost. I'm not defending Iron Mike either. He's said and done crazy sh8t over the years. That tattoo on his face made no sense.๐Ÿคฃ Still, I don't believe Iron Mike's actions are an indictment of his mental faculties.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  9. When they start taking about changing or ripping up the Constitution, I'll believe the democracy is turning into a dictatorship.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  10. He has to be at least average in order to function independently.๐Ÿ˜ Most people on the planet are of average intelligence. Sure. The "dumb jock" belief has been around for a very long time. Some of Iron Mike's behavior over the past several decades would definitely fit that narrative. I still don't believe he's mentally impaired or as unintelligent as some folks think.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  11. Here is Letitia James, Attorney General of NY: All skin folk ain't kinfolk.๐Ÿคฃ The Black folks in law enforcement and the judicial system are often tasked with going after their own people. The subway killer was put on trial. The jury acquitted him.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  12. I know a few Black dudes who are married to Asian women. Otherwise, I don't know any Black dudes who chase Asian, Arab or Indian women. Do you feel that Asian, Arab and Indian not being easily accessible to Black men is disrespectful? I don't see non-Black folks staying away from us as being disrespectful. In fact, Black foks should minimize contact with others especially if it's not productive i.e. enriching us monetarily. A whole lot of Black folks did either take their own lives or forced the oppressors to kill them.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  13. Verdict not guilty. Another white person acquitted of cold-blooded murder. Black people get serious about self-defense. Stay ready. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  14. Right. Part of being a celebrity is playing up to the narrative. They become actors in real life. That was definitely some crazy sh8t.๐Ÿคฃ Iron Mike could plead temporary insanity in that situation.๐Ÿ˜ Evander Holyfield wasn't afraid of Iron Mike like previous opponents. Holyfield was whupping his azz. ๐Ÿ˜ Iron Mike short circuited and went into defensive mode and became Cujo.๐Ÿคฃ Even after being robbed of millions of dollars by a few people, Iron Mike is still well off financially. I don't believe that would be the case if Mike was at or below average intelligence. H8ll, people above average intelligence can't figure out how to make millions of dollars.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  15. Referring to built in the literal and figurative sense. Add food, clothing, heat, transportation and protection to the equation. Setting up a government. Establishing rules and laws. Right. He has nothing to lose the 2nd time around. The government operates based on the constitution. Not at the whims of an individual. Sista @aka Contrarian has long ago reached the point that that men are no longer useful to her. She can afford to write us off recklessly. ๐Ÿคฃ I doubt her man was dispensable when he was working and helping to raise those chil'ren.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  16. For Black men, it's all of the above. Anti-Black sentiment, cultural differences and being under-resourced are issues. A Black man with money has more options. No guarantees. Slavery conditioned self-hate and colorism a couple centuries ago. Who or what is conditioning Black women to find white men attractive nowadays? A loser cannot obtain, keep or maintain the women or whatever he desires. Sure. If the goal is merely to bed women and keep it moving, that man can feel like a winner temporarily. Some men feel like they have accomplished something especially when they nail down a woman who was hard to get or out of their league. When the woman replaces that man in the same bed with another dude, the former winner often feels like a...loser. At least that's what it sounds like at the bar.๐Ÿคฃ Again, every previous generation believes the current and future generations are or will be screwed up. That's why humans get old and die. The universe is masterful in converting energy.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  17. As I just wrote in the other thread, Iron Mike has made a ton of money as a boxer, actor and businessman. He owns a legal weed dispensary. If mentally compromised, Iron Mike hasn't done too bad for himself chasing money. I have no idea of why Iron Mike showed his azz but I doubt it was a mental problem.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  18. Regardless of intelligence level, chasing money is a better use of energy than pursuing women who don't want to be bothered for whatever reason. Pick up extra hours or work overtime on the current job and/or get a 2nd job in a similar lane. Also, redirecting energy to chasing money makes a man even more attractive to some women too. Mental retardation is developmental from birth. Limited intelligence is often rooted in mental or physical laziness or trauma. They are not mutually exclusive. Yet, some mentally retarded people have been trained to be productive in some capacity which enables them to live more independently in their lane. Along similar lines, functionally illiterate people have made fortunes In various endeavors. In another thread, you said Iron Mike is mentally compromised. He's rich though. Iron Mike has made a ton of money as a boxer, actor and businessman. He owns a legal weed dispensary too. BTW, Iron Mike has never had a problem getting women either.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  19. The money is already *spent* once approved by Congress. It's just added to the national debt. The government will continue *printing money* until a creditor calls in the markers. Even then, no country is strong enough to make America pay up.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  20. It has to be identified as a problem worthy of being solved. I thought we already identified that it's culture and an anti-Black narrative. If a woman finds a man unattractive, it's not a vision problem. It's a chemistry problem. I don't believe women are being programmed to be unattracted to that which they naturally desire. Sure. People are attracted to losers all the time. Women spend time with dudes who cannot provide for and/or protect them. Men kick it with women they would never introduce to their family and friends. Money will make a loser attractive. People will do something strange for some change. If a woman has bad luck with 3-4 Black men, she might start thinking they are the problem instead of evaluating her own attraction to them. We're going to eventually need that reference data.๐Ÿ˜ There's no shortage of confident unaccomplished folks running around. Plenty broke azz dudes with game who have baby mommas and wives and girlfriends. Sure. His confidence would be off the charts. But, it would still take something for those women to fall in love with that Black man. They wouldn't factor into the equation of this particular issue. Unless they are also having a hard time getting dates from non-Black folks too.๐Ÿคฃ Every previous generation seems to be concerned about the next generation. The kids will be all right. They always seem to figure it out one way or another.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  21. Texas-based personal injury lawyer Tony Buzbee is the white man responsible for filing these 'Jane Doe' lawsuits against Black celebrities.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  22. That won't stop women from trying to get at them. Good luck rounding up enough men who have a problem accessing other women and getting them to join a movement. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  23. Russia doesn't care who calls themselves being in charge. They still benefit most from the resources being extracted from that country. This situation almost reminds of Haiti. All of a sudden BBQ & his crew were running amok.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  24. Sure they could. But, I would like to see a construction site or an oil rig or a commercial fishing boat with with no men around. Only women running every aspect of the jobs from top to bottom.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  25. Iron Mike isn't mentally compromised at all. Check out the one man show he did many years ago. Mike detailed his whole life in those sold out shows. Made a lot of money too.๐Ÿ˜Ž
