  1. Black folks getting killed America or staging coups on the continent is nothing in comparison to the number of people killed in Ukraine and Gaza.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  2. That's exactly how folks are making money online. Like pulpit preachers, folks like brotha Tariq, Dr. Umar, PBT, etc., make money basically from lecturing online. Brotha Tariq takes it a step further selling products (books, movies & deodorant).๐Ÿ˜Ž
  3. No doubt. Folks are gonna live their best life by any means necessary. They don't give a d8mn about who likes it or not. Especially when they're doing well.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  4. The majority of men and women do not have a problem finding *love* in one way or another. Unfortunately, some folks will be left out for one reason or another. Those are the breaks. Right. Birds of a feather flock together. If such is the case, there's no reason to complain. It keeps coming up because you're fixated on Black men being able to attract a particular group of women. I'm sure rich dudes like Floyd Mayweather and Lil Wayne have a few of those women in their file. Considering there's only a handful of Black billionaires, it doesn't take that much money to get attention. It doesn't take millions of dollars either. Depending on how that Black man presents himself. The *average* white man benefits from the privilege of white supremacy. Black men have to become more powerful beyond voice, genitalia, testosterone and masculinity. That's just the way it is under the system of racism white supremacy.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  5. An agency would be established to handle reparations. Similar to the Bureau of Indian Affairs.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  6. Right. On cue, I mentioned her knowing you'd bring up her White man file.๐Ÿคฃ However, it cannot be denied that she built a business on her beauty. Again, you've championed that it's a wise move getting closer to white supremacists if unable to defeat them. I guess it doesn't apply to Black women. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  7. Right. The case has to be made. Facts. Proof. Evidence. Stake the claim.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  8. Healthy dialog and debate doesn't require ageeement or consensus.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  9. False equivalence. Being attractive to or rejected by women is very different from being loved by the people who created and gave birth to a person. Clearly, that doesn't make Black men more attractive to women nor does it put us in a position to overthrow the system of racism white supremacy. If a man's goal is to have a buffet of s8xual options, that's easy to accomplish. Make a lot money. No shortage of women from any corner of the planet.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  10. That's why it's always better to rock with folks who share mutual attraction. No chase. No confusion. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  11. Many women use their beauty to work for modeling agencies and/or build brands and businesses. For example, Naomi Campbell did well for herself.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  12. That's consistent with your posts that it's a wise move to find a comfortable spot within the prison of racism white supremacy. It doesn't matter *why* millions of people have signed up to join the military. Bottom line is they're in a positron to kill or be killed when given orders to do so.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  13. The US government. It controls the laws and money and provides support and restitution to every other group of holocaust victims.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  14. Easier to do for poeple who never saw it as fight in the 1st place. Most athletes, entertainers and business people don't see racism as a problem. Same goes for Black people in general. That's why there's no fight to acknowledge the Black Holocaust. Again, easier to do for those who don't believe in racism white supremacy. Nobody should be a bum on the street. There are enough resources to take care of everyone. Instead of spending money on conflicts and wars, they could be providing shelter, food and clothing to the poor.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  15. @Pioneer1, the questions become: 1. What difference does it make that Black women find non-Black men attractive? In other words, will Black men try harder to *compete* for those women. 2. If Black men have biological traits making them superior to other men, why aren't Black men the most powerful on the planet and crushing the system of racism white supremacy. A man's attractiveness and real power is not based on those biological traits. No shortage of examples past and present.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  16. Gotcha. Like trying to save someone from a one-sided or abusive relationship, you'll know when to tap out.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  17. Unfortunate that drama pops up in beauty pageants. The young women do a lot of preparation to represent themselves and their countries. Disappointing when a pageant winner loses the crown on a technicality for some reason beyond their control. Once shown on the world stage, their beauty cannot be denied. Hopefully it leads to lucrative opportunities in whatever they choose to do beyond pageants.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  18. Therein lies the hustle/grift. Whether it's selling the secrets to investing or real estate or whatever, these people rent luxury houses, vehicles, yachts, etc., providing the illusion of success. To an extent, they're making money selling a facade. Investing and buying real estate are legitimate money-makers. Requires a level of effort beyond merely sitting behind a computer. Takes effort and money to make more money.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  19. Black scholars have laid the ground work for establishing the Black Holocaust. To date, the Black Holocaust has not been codified into our history. Every Black person should be taught from birth and know what happened to our people. Black people should know our heroes and she-roes, pioneers and trailblazers. Our history should not be relegated to the shortest month of the year. The Black Holocaust should be reflected in everything we do...books, art, music, sports, business, politics, etc. Black people should literally be wearing a symbol of the Black Holocaust as a pendant, charm, chain, bracelet, hats, t-shirts, etc. When non-Black children ask their parents what's up with what they'rw seeing in public, they've got to explain it. First, we have to make the world acknowledge and accept the Black Holocaust. Once the Black Holocaust is acknowledged and accepted, reparations becomes easier to codify as well. Unfortunately, Black folks are allowing our history to be diluted. As a result, the Black Holocaust has been reduced to a stain on American history. So many Black folks have bought into the American dream in one way or another until codifying the Black Holocaust and collecting tangible benefits at from it at this point would be a heavy lift. Allowing the Black Holocaust to become a distant memory is by design under the system of racism white supremacy. They play the long game.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  20. There is no code. The people who aren't making money online.๐Ÿคฃ For whatever reason, you choose to believe there's a cookie-cutter approach to it. Doesn't work that way. There's no online money-making widget. If it was that easy, many folks would be doing it already. Both in the real world (ITRW) and virtually, making money comes down to producing goods and/or providing services. No way around it.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  21. I would guide Majors to investors or a production company that's willing to give him a chance to headline a release and rebuild his image.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  22. BLM leadership still enjoying the money grifted in 2020. Maybe BLM will come back around whenever the next tragedy happens.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  23. intelligence is not partial to one side of the brain. That's why folks are considered functionally illiterate. While they may not read and write according to a standard, they find other ways to gather and retain information i.e. learn and live productively. Many artists can sing songs or rap lyrics without writing them down. Many highly proficient musicians cannot read sheet music. They're considered musically illiterate. Their natural talent tells a different story. Scientists came up with left and right brain qualities but there are plenty shades of gray (no pun intended) in the middle.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  24. True that. The algorithms definitely feeds the bases. Nowadays, it makes sense to read several sources for neutral news and information instead of spin and opinion. MSNBC and CNN are on the ropes while FOX and other right-wing news channels are taking victory laps. It will be interesting to see how liberal media covers the next 4 years especially with the FCC breathing down their necks.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  25. We would have to quantify the number of Black women falling in love with white men. It would be a good exercise to find out those numbers too. We really don't know that it flows in one direction. I've heard Black men can go to South America and Europe and be treated like kings. Running the numbers we may find that beyond culture women of all stripes are exploring their options. Native Americans have a cultural tie that binds them. Still, their women run away from the reservation too.๐Ÿ˜Ž
