Soaring Gas Price--What's Your Limit?
What is the most you're willing to pay for a gallon of gas? Just curious to know at what point the family here would park the ride & use another form of transportation. It's amusing the same USA that 1) seized control of Venezuelan oil & 2) attacked Iran would pass higher gas prices to the same American people who are complaining about the price of groceries & healthcare. I doubt the price will hit $5 per gallon. However, jacking the price up by @ least $1 in less than a month doesn't show much concern for the economy & struggling people either.๐

Netflix: The New Segregation In Entertainment?
Gotcha. A free Black channel would be ideal. Especially if our people would use it constructively.๐

Iran Under Attack from US & Israel Again
There is no lack of recognition &/or refusal to accept the net effects of the system of racism white supremacy. It is something I mention quite a bit in my posts here. I totally understand how Black folks have been colonized, divided & conquered. My over-arching question is what are we as Black folks collectively willing to do about being divided & conquered? It is imperative that Black folks form strategic alliances at some point in order to reverse the reality of racism white supremacy. Once Black folks collectively become more self-sufficient & autonomous, this is the eventuality we must be willing to face. White folks are willing to use violence in order to oppress & dominate non-white people. Black folks cannot hope & pray their way out of going to war in order to be truly free & independent of white folks. As I mentioned several times in different posts, in my lifetime, I would love to see Black people collectively win.๐

Netflix: The New Segregation In Entertainment?
BET, OWN, TV One & Bounce to name a few could host Black content Same goes for movie theaters if Magic Johnson is still in that business. No need to wait or rely on broadcast or cable TV or a streaming platformed to host Black TV shows & movies. There is room for more outlets even if it means .establishing a new streaming platform.๐

Christian Nationalism on the Rise in USA
Most people who follow American politics are aware of Evangelical christians. They heavily influence the Republican Party. Christian Nationalism is another aspect of the evangelical movement. Towns, communities & schools are being set up in a throwback to the 1800s. These people are predominantly white. I doubt liberal white folks will allow the Chrsitian Nationalists to take over the country & force everyone to adopt it. There's always some type of wacky religious movement in the USA. I remember Jonestown, Branch Davidians, Mormons & those folks who committed suicide with $5 in their pockets.๐คฃ Black people keep that 3rd open. Learn self-defense & how to use weapons. I really don't believe these white people will come at Black folks. They'll mainly stay in their own bubbles like Amish people. However, staying ready means one doesn't have to get ready if/when sh8t hits the fan.๐

Happy birthday Nat King Cole
Nat King Cole would not have become a millionaire entertainer if white folks didn't also buy his music & attend his performances & watch his TV show.๐

Former FBI Director Robert Mueller Dies
2nd longest serving FBI Director in US history, Robert Mueller passed away @ 81 years old. POTUS OJ posts on Truth Social..."Good. I'm glad he's dead". It's no secret that POTUS OJ hated Mueller due to the Russia collusion investigation into the 2016 election. However, a true statesman would have taken a higher road in this moment. Of course, the USA isn't being led by a real leader of the people. The sad & funny part is that on cue MAGA folks are defending crass ๐คก azz POTUS OJ. Somehow he deserves to feel this way because Mueller was an *enemy*. The country has 2.67 years left under POTUS OJ before the next election.๐

Iran Under Attack from US & Israel Again
False equivalence IMO. FBA/ADOS are a minority in a multicultural country. Africans have a whole continent & countries to themselves. Why aren't they staying *home* & *fixing* their own countries instead of running to predominantly white countries. Correct. In a country where 99% of the people look alike, they should be able to change it. I hope Burkina Faso President Ibrahim Traore understands the game he's trying to play. None of these devils care about what's best for his country. ๐

Iran Under Attack from US & Israel Again
The people elect their leaders in places that have *free & fair* elections. It has been said that people deserve the leadership they elect. ๐ Understood.๐ Right. I don't have an issue with Traore being military-minded. A leader has to be capable of violence if there is a threat. However, Traore trading one colonizer for another definitely isn't a chess move.๐

Colorism And Reversing The Anti-Black Programming
You're right. Plenty dudes are attracted to polar bears.๐ Gotcha. Thick & voluptuous women win every time & twice on Sundays. Sure. Especially men who don't attract women naturally. Having a lot of money allows a man to buy more of everything including women. A man living in mansion never has to worry about getting women. Money attracts them. A lack of financial security makes all of that harder to obtain & causes unnecessary stress.๐

There hasn't been a Black Malcolm X wannabe in decades. It's not uncommon for people to copy those they admire on some level. Shahid Bolsen's message is his own but I did find it amusing that he chose to co-opt Malcolm X.๐

Colorism And Reversing The Anti-Black Programming
There's no shortage of brothas with unattractive, overweight white women. It's interesting that you prefer petite, feminine Black women but if you had to take one of those white women it would be the thicker one. What advantage does a white woman gain in being with a Black man? Instead of focusing on the superficial i.e. looks, Black folks should be trying to figure out how to build & connect with each other in order to own sh8t & amass wealth.๐

Right. Patrice Lumumba & Idi Amin & Muammar Gaddafi were killed for similar reasons. Burkina Faso's Ibrahim Traore is trying to break out of the French stranglehold on his country.๐

Retired Air Force Major General Missing UFO/UAP
It's only natural for people to.put their own in charge &/or those with whom they feel most comfortable. Black folks need to create & own opportunities instead of waiting on someone else to give them a shot at being in charge & grumbling & complaining when they don't or get fired.๐

Those African nations chose to make unfair deals for themselves with oppressors. Rich in natural resources if the 53 African nations worked together they wouldn't need outsiders.๐

AI nostalgia
No doubt AI will be used to resurrect the image/likeness of our Black icons. I believe Shahid Bolsen uses AI to copy the speech pattern & cadence & mannerisms of our late Brother Malcolm X: Folks will find creative ways to use technology.๐

Countdown to End of Trumpโs Presidency
I think POTUS OJ's reign will end after the 2028 election or if he dies whichever comes 1st. Thankfully, it will take a very long time before either the GOP or Democrats find another such character to lead the country. POTUS Obama was the experiment in having a Black man in the White House. POTUS OJ was the experiment with having a clown in the Oval Office. The next POTUS will be younger & moderate & relatively boring in comparison to the current one.๐

Iran Under Attack from US & Israel Again
Interesting how *polite* the aggressors (USA & Israel) are trying to be in targets they choose especially when it comes to money-makers...Iranian oil & gas sites. OTOH, the aggressors blowing up a school full of women & children is just collateral damage. The US & Israel blame the Iranians for using *soft* targets as a shield from which to launch attacks. Either way, there is more concern about the Strait of Hormuz & oil tankers getting through. Watch their hands. Follow the money.๐

Correct. They're only going put one of their own in in charge of certain agencies. An agency or organization dedicated to UFO/UAP is definitely top of the list.๐

Pentagon Needs $200 Billion for Dust-up in the Middle East
*War* is the easiest way to *print more money*. The Department of Defense (Pentagon) gets the lion's share of the government budget. They are claiming this conflict cost billions of dollars & the war chest needs to be replenished. The plutocrats believe MAGA folks are not the brightest people in the USA & rich people *use* them as cannon fodder for votes. ๐

Colorism And Reversing The Anti-Black Programming
That's a variation of one my favorites..."if was 5th we'd all be drunk".๐คฃ No doubt. It takes the *right* man & a lot of patience. That's one *excuse*. Most often, dark brothas want the lightest woman they can get. It doesn't get any lighter than white. Then, those brothas feel 1) validated from any childhood trauma as a result of being dark & 2) *won* in the system of racism white supremacy if the white woman looks good. Straight from the proverbial Willie Lynch letter, colorism has done a bang up job on many Black folks.๐
