Listen man, you better stop running around here calling yourself "old" because I think we may be around the same age.....lol.
We may be around the same age but I've always been an old man trapped in a younger body.

Former TV talk show host Wendy Williams is having health issues and life challenges
The same woman who made a living gossiping started to crash and burn after her husband flipped the script and took on a younger boo thang.
Before her marriage failed, I thought Wendy was in decline when she had surgeries and showed up on her talk show looking like a walking Pez dispenser:
Wendy isn't the 1st person and won't be the last to fall. But, it should be a cautionary reminder that karma and Father Time are undefeated.

democrats might be secretly planning a counter defense. Why would they publicize what their planning to do?
Right. It would not make sense for the Democrats to show their hand especially if it's strong.

Either way, you can rest assured that will not happen in your lifetime or mine.

It's been on that brink for 8 years and counting.

I'd have my popcorn ready especially if the civil war goes as the late Dick Gregory described it in his wisdom.

@ProfDto me, this is more about fascism than racism. It will victimize anybody who doesn't get with the prpgam. May even reward boot lickin negroes..
Right. Regardless of the -ism, there will be permanent victims. Also, there will be those who find a way to thrive and survive as bootlicks, shills and other forms of suck ups.

The 1st thing that comes to my mind is that if this guy and others can speculate/know about it, Democrats surely know about it as well.
Yet, Democrats don't appear to be alarmed and they're silent about it. Maybe they are complicit in letting it go down. 2020 was a test run.
Of course, since I believe both parties are two sides of the same coin, I would not be surprised one way or another.
The system of racism white supremacy remains the same.

The real question is why are AfroAmerican voters always being singled out when it's POTUS election season.
We don't see and hear politicians pandering to any other group of people. There is no Asian or Latino Rock the Vote the campaign.
POTUS candidates aren't holding rallies in Chinatown or showing up to baseball and soccer games begging for minority votes.
Sure enough, you'll see POTUS candidates in Black churches or some other AfroAmerican event for photo-ops.
Those candidates will show up with a bottle of hot sauce pretending they know how to eat fried chicken, greens, potato salad and chitlins.
It will be someone like the aforementioned bootlick or Rep. Jim Clyburn the sharecropper who will be the town crier and head usher escorting candidates around.

fair enough, I admit , it is the black populace in nyc that I thought about with this post more than any other in the usa.
In the last 24 hours, , a black elder, called law enforcement constantly on a mattress store. The mattress store was found out to have been allowing migrants whose thirty day stay is up to be in their basement. illegal of course, the basement has no windows, no ventilation, and they had 75 people in there rotating sleep sessions, they paid 300 dollars. But, law enforcement didn't discover anything, a black elder who wasn't hurt, wasn't interacted with, simply opened their damn mouth for no reason but to be a damn snitch. I am tired of all this. maybe everywhere else in the usa this is warranted or needed and you know what, fair enough. but in nyc i tired of this, and i call traitors on any black person in nyc who acts like this.
If you are afraid of living around homeless people, just leave nyc, please. If you can't stand having neighbors who don't act the way you want, then leave nyc please. Too many black church folk , black elders, black one percent seem more interested in making something out of nothing with other black people. I admit my irritation is in the black populace in nyc. I admit i should had let out that truth from the very beginning.
OK. Now, we're getting to the heart of the matter and source of your irritation.
That Black elder snitch definitely should have minded their own g8tdamn bizness.
The migrant crisis is really a political football.
Right-wing nuts are worried about somebody else invading *their* country and taking jobs they don't want.
Left-wing lunatics plan to use this new population of immigrants as a future voter block.
Rich people are silently using migrants to make more money.
Black folk have much bigger concerns to address.
20 hours ago, richardmurray said:To the black community in tulsa, in cheap retrospect, isn't it clear the whole enterprise was false. Enterprise meaning what?
When we talk of Tulsa so few of us, we or us meaning Black folk, ever focus on the faulty strategy of making a strong black populace in a white city in the first place.
Again NYC is the proof. When you consider how much effort so many black people put to making successful black communities in nyc, i argue it is a waste of time regardless of whatever communal straegies you have in mind. The city is white, and even though black people are not being hanged in 2024, the city is harmful to black people.
Unfortunately, non-white folks appear to be the most passive creatures on the planet.
Most Black folks do not have the same level of barbarism as white folks.
White folks are willing to kill or be killed in order to build and maintain their way of life.
Black folks can build successful communities anywhere if/when they are willing to kill and die for it.
War is one area of codification. Got to have an army of soldiers willing to put in work.

@ProfD but what about new orleans mardi gras? I know DOSers from new orleans... they are not ADOS to you then?
Mardi Gras was started by the French. ADOS folks in New Orleans do participate in it.

but @ProfD
the question at the poll was
Does every black populace under each government in the american continent have a mardi gras/carnaval?
No.
8 hours ago, richardmurray said:What black populace under a government in the american continent(canada to the usa) doesn't have a carnaval? i will like to know.
AfroAmericans who identify as FBA/ADOS.
Maybe that more directly answers the poll question again.

You may feel i am insulting yu but I don't see it that way, i think my questions are valid because you seem to not know that whites are the enemies of blacks in the usa historically. And NYC white populace is more anti black than in the deep south.
Clearly, you overlooked the word rhetorical in my post above.
Maybe you haven't read my posts well enough to know that I believe the system of racism white supremacy has made white folks enemies to Black folks here in America and all over the planet for a very long time.
On more than one occasion I've addressed the issue of your opposition to and how you expect others to respond to your narratives and questions based on your firmly entrenched biases and points of view.
Again, I'll mention that on a discussion forum folks are free to provide their thoughts, views and opinions on a given topic.
As evidenced by your own selective use of research and statistics, there's a reasonable amount of latitude in how one chooses to respond to a topic.
Never assume what someone else does or does not know solely based on their responses to topics and questions in a discussion forum.
A topic of discussion isn't always static or binary. There's room for tangential discourse. It can make the subject more enlightening and entertaining.
My brotha, you may want to lighten up in your expectations and/or confirmation bias when it comes to discussions.

the black drug dealers was never in control, the NYPD always controlled them.
The NYPD did not force Black folks to sell drugs to their own people.
On 2/26/2024 at 1:49 PM, richardmurray said:But to talking about growing black wealth. well, what do you mean?
The mafia consisting of white immigrants who had little or nothing when they processed through Ellis Island built their wealth in major cities throughout America.
The mafia had *rules* and a code of conduct for how they managed their operations. One of the codes was they wouldn't sell drugs to their own people.
On 2/26/2024 at 1:49 PM, richardmurray said:Remember, most of NYC's buildings were originally owned by whites or were through bankruptcy owned by the city government which for most of its history is over 95% white in terms of employees.
The rhetorical question becomes what kept Black people from getting in on the action when it comes to building wealth.
On 2/26/2024 at 1:49 PM, richardmurray said:I argue,in cheap retrospect the better argument is to grow black wealth outside nyc by said black drug dealers. Cause NYC, Chicago, Los aNgeles, or similar are all silly places when it comes to black empowerment.
For black individuals they are fine but for the black populace they are never fine.
To build anything anywhere requires codification and cooperation among the group of people in order to be successful.

I can se that online dating is efficient but it lacks a certain something.
One of the reason I *know* I'm a dinosaur man is because in my opinion online dating looks lazy and lame.
While online dating would never be a consideration or option for a guy like me but I do wish that I had invented it.
If folks live a lifestyle that is too busy to meet other people in the wild then they don't really have time to date either.
I recognize that for certain groups of people and personality types, online dating provides them with access to a pool containing their preferences.
The *problem* with a profile is that it cannot capture mutual attraction and chemistry.
People give off vibes in passing or on a dance floor or in a meeting place that cannot be populated into a computer.
I've met women while I'm out and about; in certain settings and places where they would not have caught my attention otherwise.
As a relatively tech savvy person, I know the internet and AI will alter the landscape of how human beings conduct business and interact with each other.
Again, I'm just glad to be old skool in everything I do. I'd give up my smartphone if it wasn't for conducting business.
Hopefully, I won't be around long enough that I have to adapt and/or be affected by this new-fangled sh8t.

Doubling down on dumb, the former POTUS son (Don Jr.) has come out with an equally ridiculous claim that African-American men hail him as their hero.
-
I voted no.
AfroAmericans do not have a Mardi Gras/Carnaval that unites us.
I think it's cool that Caribbean folks and other Black people have cultural ties that include annual parties and celebrations.
For AfroAmericans, maybe Juneteenth will become a bigger celebration over time.

@richardmurray, I was referring to the American political system (Democrats and Republicans) as two sides of the same coin.

The edited video doesn't help the former POTUS nor does it hide his racism.
He said Black folks spend $19 on t-shirts bearing his likeness and millions have sold.
The man is a clown and a comedian rolled into one.
-
The false equivalence blares like a neon sign.
Every time the former POTUS tries appealing to Black voters it's from a position of condescension.
The 1st time Orange Julius told Black folks they might as well vote for him because Democrats haven't done anything for us.
Black folks should absolutely call a blatant racist out everytime they come with that BS. Especially if that particular racist wants to run the country.
Silence is complicity. As Bumpy Knuckles aka Freddy Foxxx would say..."No, I ain't wit it".
-
The latest bootlick to emerge in defending the former POTUS is Rep. Byron Donalds (Florida).
Former POTUS made a comment suggesting that because of his four criminal indictments empathic Black voters are more likely to support him.
Neither former POTUS Orange Julius nor bootlick Rep. Donalds realizes most Black voters aren't felons or ex-convicts.
It's rumored that Rep. Donalds could be a potential VP running mate. Just like Sen. Tim Scott, Black folks can see the shoe polish around these dudes lips.
Both Rep. Donalds and Sen. Scott are from the south. That part of the country seems to breed a special kind of bootlick.
Doesn't matter to the former POTUS...he will break those tools like #2 pencils when he's done using them.

However, the AfroAmerican community shouldn't put all of their eggs in the Reparations basket.
Agreed. Black folks shouldn't be waiting on reparations but we d8mn sure should be demanding it front and center.
On 2/24/2024 at 10:35 AM, Pioneer1 said:I really believe that when a FACTION of us (because I don't believe most of our people currently here will get on board) codify and unite in the agenda of community building and nationhood....
At the same time we're demanding reparations, we should also be building a Black economic infrastructure to reinvest that money so that it never leaves our community.
Done properly, we can Black-owned everything imaginable and that which hasn't been done yet.

Smh. Will folks ever learn? "Never have your honey where you make your money." When issues arise, this always taints your credibility.
True. Problem is Fani's fanny is getting up there in years. Also, she's living in a city where men are slim pickings. If she's too busy with her job to find a partner, close to home will have to be good enough.
On 2/23/2024 at 11:47 PM, aka Contrarian said:Fani's father got it right when he told her "a man is not a plan."
The words are true. Dad guided her well. Fani doesn't need a man for security.
Apparently, the money doesn't take care of whatever is going on with Fani's hormones though.
When Fani needs an oil change dad's teaching amd guidance flew out the window.

Younger Black folks are increasingly becoming disenfranchised with Democrats and the current political system.
I believe it's just a matter of time before the Independent movement becomes a lot stronger. It will produce 3rd party candidates.

I'm almost CONVINCED now that the key to TRUE "Black Unity" is actually BLACK SEPARATION.
The intelligent and righteous among our people need to separate themselves from the fools, thugs, and slave-minded dead weight who are holding the community back.
Intelligent Black folks....regardless of sex, religion, or nationality WILL find a way to get along with eachother and work together if we loose the dead weight.It's already happened to a degree with integration several decades ago.
Most intelligent Black folks do not live among the riff raff elements of our race. They've moved to middle-class and better suburbs and other enclaves of well to do Black folks.
The *problem* is that those same intelligent Black folks who've *made it* aren't concerned about reparations of any kind and dismantling the system of racism white supremacy.
NYC's NYPD cost the city and state alot of money but should it be more?

Black folks talk a good game when it comes to criminal justice reform.
However, Black folks on the inside of the judiciary and law enforcement systems aren't helping our people.
Black folks will lock up and send their own people to prison faster than white folks do.
Tethers (non-FBA/ADOS) are the worst offenders especially when it comes to punishing AfroAmericans. The problem is huge.
