Former FLOTUS Obama Urges Black Men to Vote
Democrats are still pulling out all stops in getting Black folks to vote. Former FLOTUS Michelle Obama is the latest to come out with impassioned finger wagging at Black men. Apparently, the threat of Black men choosing to stay on the couch instead of voting on November 5th puts women's reproductive rights in jeopardy. Black men will have failed to protect women's rights if they don't vote and get VP Kamala Harris elected. I'd imagine women's reproductive rights could mean something to men who want children. I'm not so sure that it matters much to men in the alphabet soup community and men who don't 1) want children 2] child support payments or 3) marriage. The issues they're scolding Black men to vote for are not of tangible benefit to them. Combined with the overall pussification of society....it's a bad recipe. Show Black men a clear pathway to some money and they will support and vote for whoever can provide more more of it. The Obamas are multimillionaires. It's hard for Black men to listen to anybody wagginflg fingers and telling them what to do....especially rich folks who aren't paying them.๐คฃ๐

From a Black Perspective: Why Does Black America Keep Voting for its own Self Destruction?
I hear and see some version of that every election season. I don't know of anyone who has gotten sick and/or died because they didn't vote. In fact, I don't know of anyone who has lost everything because they didn't vote. Not voting is a problem for those who have clearly defined interest(s) that are not being met. It's hard to hold politicians accountable for anything in the absence of helping to put them in office. Not having solid reason(s) for voting is a bigger problem. Especially for Black people who's vote seems to carry a lot of weight according to the media.๐๐

Black. History. Lynchings ....
There's no confusion when treating others as one (you) want to be treated. Nobody deserves to be mistreated. Compromise is usually the point of peace, comfort or surrender especially when there's no longer a desire to fight for it.๐

"But We're Not Into Black Guys": Observation On Sexual Racism
Which generations gave birth to 1980s Crack babies? Which generation allowed drugs into Black communities? Many baby Boomers thought Civil Rights leaders were stirring up trouble. Of course, they didn't mind benefitting from it. I try not to disturb people while they're working. ๐คฃ Now, if his momma is in my prayer warrior group, I might drop a jewel or two of wisdom on his dome-piece.๐คฃ๐

A few random thoughts
Saving lives, increased population and folks and living longer doesn't equate to more money. Especially not when technology is taking over and doing the work. China, India and Africa have over 1 billion podple. It doesn't make them more productive and wealthy. Wealthy folks are trying to figure out how to decrease world population. How do mass evacuation structures generate money when there's no disaster? Control and mistreatment is one aspect of it. Protecting resources and wealth for themselves is another. Where did white racists go to work once jobs were out-sourced overseas? White men don't have to compete with Black men for jobs and opportunities. They can relocate to places where there's little or no Black people.๐

Nope. I have no idea of why dead people don't fool with me.๐คฃ I apply the golden rule when it comes to human behavior. People should treat each other as they want to be treated. It never fails to deliver constructive results. Everything else I believe is based on questions and answers; reasoning and logic...whatever makes the most sense to me.๐๐

There is no money in a cure, solving problems or preventing crisis. Billions of dollars are generated through destruction and loss of life. Watch their hands. Follow the money.๐

True that.๐ This old man wouldn't have been anywhere near a club playing that BS.๐คฃ Reads like women young enough to be our daughters. ๐คญ They were scoping out 1) potential baby daddies or 2) sugar daddies.๐คฃ Asking that question would have made you look like an old azz man in the club.๐คฃ๐

The media covers dysfunction differently depending on the group of people in order to maintain narratives and stereotypes. Former POTUS Orange Julius' dysfunction is on display every day and half the country is fine with it. ๐๐

"But We're Not Into Black Guys": Observation On Sexual Racism
Yet, they aren't complaining about any other group of males. No other group has a right to criticize our own nor should we legitimize it. Every generation complains about those coming up behind them.๐ It's interesting that folks of an older generation spend the majority of their time f8cking off. Then, they get old and want to start complaining about younger folks doing the same dumb sh8t. Agreed. That look is disgusting. I blame the Black men who are too weak and afraid to call it out. Every time I see that BS, I'm telling those n8gglets to pull up their pants. That's hilarious.๐คฃ We cannot write off or kick the n8gglets out the community. Black men need to keep it a buck and tell the youngin's what's up. That's all.๐

But, it's deeper than cheating on their wives. African dudes have multiple baby mommas and wives. The women will have kids by different dudes. Kids grow up not knowing their biological parents and/or finding out about them later. Imagine growing up thinking some dude is your dad or some chick is your mother and none of it is true. The person you think is your father/mother is really your uncle/aunt. It gets wild. Then, the Africans that do make it out of the country become like family members putting money on the books of prison inmates. Everybody they know back in their home country is begging for money. The *good* thing about Africans is that they are really nice and polite people. Almost to their detriment because it allows foreigners to take over their countries. They aren't nearly as mean, disrespectful and violent as Americans. Right. AfroAmericans didn't invent skinny jeans. Once they started wearing them, other Black folks copied it too.๐

The Interracial Reality: Are White Men Gaining Traction? :Observation On Sexual Racism
That applies to the folks who died fighting instead of being slaves. They were still prisoners of a system. Anyone with a vision, knowledge, skill, talent, work ethic and capital can start a business. Their success will be predicated on customers and the market. When all else falls, the only way to bring about justice is war. History shows us that when diplomacy fails, war is the recourse. The winner gets the bounty and booty. It would be wise to interview those men in order to find out how it's working out for them. Understood. That default position works at the individual level. Not for the community of Black men you're seeking to elevate. Yep. It gets real especially among older women. They will wear Spicebomb duing the day. Lidocaine at night.๐คฃ Sure. That should be the goal. Elevated status means they're no longer average.๐

Of course. I wouldn't paint them with a broad brush. As I've mentioned in other threads, there's a number of Africans in my family. I have a 1st hand perspective from having to deal with them every day.๐คฃ Appearances can be deceptive. Get to know them personally. You'll find out something different. AfroAmerican flavor is still being copied around the world including skinny jeans.๐คฃ๐

When the child gets too sassy or out of line the homeowners will remind them of who pays the bills and is in charge. ๐คฃ๐ The elders among Black men should be having those conversations with younger dudes instead of ignoring or demonizing them for one reason or another. We might have a breakthrough. Won't the Supreme Being do it.๐คฃ๐

The Interracial Reality: Are White Men Gaining Traction? :Observation On Sexual Racism
Many boys and girls died as a result of the process. Would you agree those died were better off than those who survived and had to live a life unfulfilled and no enjoyment of s8x? Ignore those women and find willing participants. Who makes the determination of who is or isn't qualified to start a business? It's happening right now. You're arguing against it.๐ White men won the war entitling them to the spoils of it. A Black man can do the same thing if he puts in the work. Sure. Gotta put in work for it. Doesn't fall into one's lap. That default position of being a slave at a price is the main reason Black folks cannot be independent and autonomous. I wasn't referring to the snatch box smell. That gets better with age. It's the Ben Gay and other pain relief cream they might need at night.๐คฃ Over several posts, I've tried to explain this is not a *problem* for well built men. You're advocating that average men pull up their status to enjoy the same perks. There's nothing wrong with that goal.๐

Yet, Africans and other Black folks cannot fix their failed and broken countries. There's also African broken families and out of wedlock children and blended families and adopting orphans, nieces and nephews either abandoned by their biological parents and/or they were unable to take care of them. Many African men would be considered irresponsible if judged by western standards of Black men. It's easy to romanticize or embrace another culture or group in order to escape the negative spin placed on one's own community. Over several decades we've seen AfroAmericans cherry-pick and adopt aspects of other cultures instead of fixing our own. Still, AfroAmericans inherently have more flavor than any other group of people on the planet. They copy us. Unfortunately, many AfroAmericans have been brainwashed into hating themselves in one way or another.๐

It depends on where your observations takes place. There is a program at work in America and the media works overtime to spread it. However, go to poor white communities and you'll see the same levels of dysfunction i.e. drug addiction, single parenthood, grown azz people living off their parent's pension and benefits, etc. Take a trip to colleges and universities across America and you'll see young Black folks graduating with degrees en route to solid opportunities. There's a reason both sides are not highlighted in the media. They hide white dysfunction and Black success on purpose. When they do have to cover either white dysfunction or Black success pay close attention to the spin. Societal mental programming and mind control through media is far more powerful amd destructive than.....Gangsta Rap music.๐

Call the fire department.๐ Many n8gglets growing up believing their name is lil man because that's how their uncles, er, momma boyfriends addressed them.๐คฃ There was a time that Black men settled down with women and raised non-biological kids with or without having kids of their own in the same household. Every now and then, we'll hear young adults give credit for their upbringing to a man who was a dad/father-figure in every sense of the word.๐

The adulthood and/or maturity of no other group of men except AfroAmericans is questioned regardless of the boneheaded decisions they choose to make. AfroAmerican men over the age of 21 are no longer *boys*. They might do dumb sh8t but they're still adults just like their peers in other races. AfroAmerican men cannot buy into the program and narrative perpetuated against us. It just leads to excuses for bad behaviors. Let's call it out for what it is regardless of race....immature, ignorant and stupid behavior carried out by a grown azz man. Wisdom and maturity can show up at any age...or not irrespective of race.๐

Apologies are not better or adequate in any lateness
Haiti is shining example of Black folks fighting back. Apparently, other Black folks decided poverty into perpetuity and/or dealing with racism white supremacy was better than a possible genocide in going to war against whites. I'm not advocating individual growth over communal growth. I just gave examples of circumstances in which cash payments have been accepted. Some individuals aren't willing to wait on the community to pull itself together in order get whatever they're owed. The establishment already knows that giving money and/or land to folks improperly equipped to handle a windfall of riches will end up back in their hands.๐
