  1. OK. That could be true because again he may have come across being square. So, Michelle broke Barry off with that Hi-Five: I can definitely see her making him put in some work. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  2. Sista, with all due respect, it won't do Black folks any good to keep rehashing the when, where and how our people ended up in slavery and oppression. The history is well documented. Violence is the only way the chains of oppression can be broken whether it's physical, mental or financial. It might require all three on some level.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  3. Yep. I don't trust any white folks in law enforcement. They're all suspect race soldiers. I wouldn't put anything past them especially when it comes harming or killing Black folks.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  4. His record wasn't great at all. Failed military service and fired from other police departments for disciplinary actions. Loose cannon. The bar doesn't have to be squeaky clean as evidenced by the number of bad apples who slip through the cracks. In fact, they're not slipping through at all. Police departments would prefer race soldiers to maintain law and order especially when it comes to Black folks. They're not shooting white ladies in the face. No doubt police work can be hazardous. Similar to being in the military. Folks know what they are signing up to do. OTOH, many military members and police officers retire without seeing combat and/or having to fire a single shot. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  5. If smoking weed or using any type of drugs made people more productive, it would be legalized and marketed real heavy especially in a capitalistic country. OTOH, the reason illegal drugs and for a long time weed have been criminalized is because they fuel multiple industries and provide jobs and boost the economy. Big pharmaceutical industry is an example of *legal* drugs making a sh8t ton of money for dealers, er, companies. Capitalism at work sanctioned by the US government under the Food & Drug Administration.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  6. Definitely have to pay and protect leadership. Nobody should be expected to work for free. Being a leader is attractive. Sistas will get at a brotha who stands tall among men. Former POTUS Barack Obama would be consider a square in most circles. Yet, he didn't have a problem landing former FLOTUS Michelle Obama before he rose to prominence.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  7. I'd be slightly curious to know whose bright idea it was to include break-dancing in the Olympics. As Troy mentioned above, same goes for other activities they're trying to classify as sports.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  8. This particular atrocity could have been prevented if that devil hadn't been hired in th 1st place. Plenty red flags in his file.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  9. Right. The 1st step is accepting the fact that there are racist devils in law enforcement. Treat them accordingly.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  10. Law enforcement is an integral part of maintaining the system of racism white supremacy. Of course, every agency of law enforcement is filled with racists and white supremacists. Imagine being a Black agent or police officer and having to ride with or sit across from someone watching your every move and willing to take you out at a moments notice. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  11. White women are an integral part of the dominant society. They're *free* to do whatever they choose without being judged one way or another.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  12. Facts. He's an invention of media who seemingly caters to the other side of white folks grievances.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  13. Brittney Griner was a political pawn. I do not believe she was mistreated in that Russian prison. It was a game. Her crying may have been performative too.๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜Ž
  14. The real question is when are we going to start protecting and defending ourselves against these devils.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  15. Facts. This election is a referendum on which direction white folks want to take the country. Sure. An agency will be required to manage resources of that magnitude. Right. There's no shortage of thieves and opportunists lurking around. Some poeple will always try to game a system in order to steal resources. I'm sure the Bureau of Indian Affairs receives a ton of applications from $5 Indians.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  16. We already know n8gglets are not going to be major factors in getting things done. It will take Black leadership to become more proactive in getting on code and leading the rest. During the Civil Rights struggle, there was no shortage of n8gglets from the bottom to the boule who thought Malcolm X, Fred Hampton and Dr. MLK jr. were wasting their time fighting for freedom, justice and equality. The poor, ignorant, stupid and uppity n8gglets have always been among us. Black leadership didn't allow them to impede the movement. In fact, the reason there is very little Black leadership today is because they've figured why bother and/or sold out to the system of racism white supremacy. Instead, we have old fossils of Black leadership collecting money from white supremacists to maintain the status quo. OTOH, would be younger Black leaders are pushing agendas from different angles whether it's political, religion, FBA/ADOS nationalism or Pan Africanism, etc. Black folks aren't a monolithic group. Therefore, we need all of these leaders to get on code and come up with an agenda that works for the greater good of Black folks. Fake weed smoking and weave/eyelash n8gglets need not apply if they're not serious about becoming active.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  17. The Olympics are far removed from the original intent. Yet, Black folks still seem to dominate certain aspects of the games. However, it's interesting that Black folks didn't win the Gold medal for break-dancing...some sh8t we invented.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  18. White folks have continued to successfully divide Black men and women here in America. White folks have only been practicing division among Black folks since the beginning of slavery. It's been ongoing for 400 years and counting. The trick is Black women who are still pawns on the chessboard believing they are independently making power moves within the system of racism white supremacy.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  19. Im not speaking for ladles but I'll repost my comment from the other thread here: Controlling and leading are different. Control is trying to govern someone else's movement; thoughts, actions and deeds. Control example...clocking someone's whereabouts or how they spent money. Lead is proactively getting things done towards a positive outcome. Lead example....cooking or making dinner reservations or planning a vacation without having to be asked or told to do so. Being comtrolled doesnโ€™t feel right to most people. It has a negative connotation. OTOH, people will respond favorably to leadership especially if it produces a positive and/or puts a smile on their face.๐Ÿ˜Ž

  21. Reduced to children. Just confirms that globally, Black folks are afraid of white folks. Not only AfroAmericans. White folks have tons of guns and other weapons. They're willing to use them. Meanwhile, it's hard to get Black folks to learn how to use weapons properly and set up our own military force. Similar to FOI (Fruit of Islam). Fear has Black folks conditioned into holding on to the belief that a sky fairy is going to deliver them from the evil clutches of his son Satan. It's the grown-up equivalent of believing in Santa Claus.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  22. White folks here in America don't have a reason (hatred) to kill them. The Arab is no threat to the system of racism white supremacy. Especially not when Arabs depend on them for their own wealth in the form of oil. The anti-Black sentiment White folks have for AfroAmericans goes back to slavery. The lingering effects of it remain. AfroAmericans have proven from the plantation to lynchings to the assassination of our leaders up to police brutality and murder that we're not going to do anything to protect and defend ourselves against them.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  23. Getting reparations is a very tall order. That should be the main focus. The agency we establish to handle reparations will be responsible for determining who qualifies for it. Black folks have to become more organized, on code and active. I believe religious folks call it doing things in decency and in order.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  24. Blatantly. Yet, white folks don't look at it that way believing they're supposed to be those positions. It was the only move she could make. Selecting anything different would have doomed her campaign. Former POTUS Obama selected POTUS PJB for the very same reason. The game belongs to white folks. They just allow others to think they're playing in it. Try to go too far against the grain and they will yank the chain.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  25. From a biological perspective, all human beings are the same. IOW, a fertile man and woman regardless of race from separate continents or anywhere else on the planet can get busy and reproduce offspring. OTOH, a crocodile and alligator both reptiles in the order Crocodylia, could tango all day long and produce nothing. Same goes for whales and sharks. Nonetheless, despite our similarities as a species, our differences from a tribal perspective are very real. The reason white folks fear China is because they haven't colonized them. Chinese people are on code. Otherwise, white folks have codified racial classification and used every trick of divide and conquer and kill in order to maintain the system of racism white supremacy.๐Ÿ˜Ž
