  1. White folks have proven and constantly show their willingness to kill anybody, anywhere for any reason. Totally different from n8gglets running around killing each other over money, petty beefs, women, trinkets and even less. IOW, Black folks are not prepared to go to war with white folks. They are afraid of the outcome. Fear.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  2. D8mn. 112 years old is a helluva lot of birthday cakes. Thanks for his service. Rest in power Mr. Lawrence Brooks.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  3. I've always found it ridiculous of men and women trying to control others in a relationship. A woman should be defensive if a man tries to control her. Even if that man is her provider and protector, that still doesn't equate to control. Similarly, a man definitely should not allow himself to be controlled by a woman. In fact, a man needs to question his manhood if he's being controlled and/or if there is a possibility that could happen. Having the desire to control another human being is a sign of unresolved mental issue(s) within that individual. Unfortunately, very few people like to 1) admit they have a problem and 2) want to sit and talk to a shrink. Self-medication has been the #1 doctor since the beginning of time.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  4. It would be awesome to see African countries united, sharing knowledge and innovating in science and technology.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  5. Whenever you're in the company of women, instead of talking about politics, sports, religion, etc., ask those questions of them. Don't interrupt. Wait for their answers.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  6. Despite the fact that Black folks don't own any social media platform, enough of our folks are hanging out on all of them. Black folks should be putting this type of information on blast until the gatekeepers kick them off their platforms.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  7. No surprise. They've been doing it forever. That's exactly why we refer to it as the system of racism white supremacy. The system is multi-layered with folks playing their positions up and down the chain in all areas of human activity. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  8. The murder of George Floyd sparked protests worldwide. Then, everybody took their signs, bottled water and went home. Back to their regularly scheduled program. N8gglets are aware of the problems going on here. They're afraid and powerless. Well off n8gglets don't want to get involved because they have arrived. From slavery through Civil Rights, I don't recall Black folks from anywhere else on the planet putting on the cape for us. I do see them trying to ride our coattails when it comes to flavor though. Stealing our music, style, fashion, lingo, etc. Fear, powerlessness and no leadership. Recipe for stagnation in the system.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  9. Folks been tribal for a long time. Evidenced by the way people are grouped all over the planet based on race, country, culture and hairline and foreheads, etc. AfroAmericans as FBA/ADOS can delineate from Black folks who don't believe in reparations for America's original sin. That being written, distractions at best, I don't see how colorism and degrees of Blackness benefit our people in dealing with the system of racism white supremacy.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  10. Let the folks in the UK Handle their bizness. They don't put on the cape for AfroAmericans when our people are getting murdered and brutalized by the police.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  11. Facts. Some African women are ridiculous with the pancake makeup: They become a couple shades shy of a full blown geisha girl: Clearly, those women who pancake or bleach their faces didn't get the memo that Black has been beautiful since the 1060s.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  12. Absolutely. Bob Marley always self-identified as a Black man. Despite having few white women smoke with him.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  13. VP Kamala Harris is Black if these are her parents. It has been reported that her Indian mother identified as white on a census form several decades ago. Her father identifies as a Jamaican-American. He's Black just like Bob Marley was despite complexion. Several decades ago, golfer Tiger Wioods went through the same identity confusion. I wonder if it's only American Blacks who have this affliction of self-identity confusion. Black folks can self-identify however they choose but one thing is certainly clear...white folks will always see them as Black people and they will treat them accordingly.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  14. The media has kept former POTUS Orange Julius relevant ever since he left the White House. Everytime I hear him referred to as president, I'm wondering if he's co-running the country with POTUS PJB. Maybe POJ is running the red side. It definitely applies to Congress. They don't do anything without his blessing.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  15. Police in the US are overly militarized especially in major cities. In fact, US police departments have access to surplus military equipment (weapons, vehicles, tactical gear, etc.). Very few American police officers walk around twirling batons, smiling at citizens and playing with kids.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  16. Racism white supremacy doesn't discriminate when it comes to making a profit and winning. America has always used Black folks for everything from building the country to all forms of entertainment (sports, music, TV, film, etc.). Otherwise, the BS that comes with racism never ends. It is ongoing when the games are over, curtain drops and the lights go out.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  17. Excellent. Exactly the type of inquiry, investigation and accountability needed to combat transgressions against Black folks. Let's see if the Black media picks up and runs with this letter. I'm fairly certainly Stephen A. Smith won't touch it with a 10-foot pole. The main reason racism white supremacy continues to win is because too many Black folks are burying their heads in the sand and pretending like it doesn't exist.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  18. https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/kamala-harris-trump-election-08-06-24/index.html Yesterday, VP Kamala Harris selected Governor Tim Walz (MN) as her running mate in bid for the White House. VP Harris' pick makes political sense because Gov. Walz ticks the boxes in appealing to swing voters. America is most comfortable with a paternalistic older white man either in the White House or in close proximity to it. In the spirit of the Olympics,if the Democrats were a gymnastics team, before POTUS PJB had a debacle of a debate and cognitive decline, he fell off the balance beam and failed to stick the landing. However, once POTUS PJB dropped out of the race and endorsed VP Kamala Harris and now selecting Gov. Walz to join the ticket, the Democrats may have redeemed themselves and still have a chance to win a Gold medal.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  19. I don't know. Black folks in the USA have consistently voted Democratic since 1933. Not sure that it matters much considering what we have gotten from that party over almost 100 years.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  20. I believe most Black people who are eligible and registered to vote exercise it. That's interesting because men of all races couldn't vote until 1870. To answer your question anyway, Black candidates need to offer Black voters tangible benefits. More importantly, Black folks need to form our own political party.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  21. Historically....Black candidates and non-Black too haven't had to do anything in order to earn Black votes. The majority of Black folks have voted along the same party line for several decades and counting. That voting trend will continue as long as Black folks are satisfied with the status quo...nothing in return for their vote. The tide will only change when Black folks understand politics is transactional. Voters should get something in return. Rest assured that AIPAC exists for a very real reason. They're putting money up to secure their interests too.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  22. The UK riots stem from anti-immigrant sentiment. The white folks are tired of Muslims coming to their country. AfroAmericans don't have any business getting into that UK situation just like the wars in Ukraine and Gaza. AfroAmericans have enough problems here in America. No need to get distracted. We haven't fixed our own house.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  23. Throughout recorded history, it seems humans have always sub-divided themselves into tribes based on continent, country, culture, ethnicity, etc. Race may be a social construct derived several hundred years ago but it is definitely used to differentiate groups of people and place them into tribes based on skin color. At one point in time, Americans identified themselves by ethnicity until it became socially beneficial to close ranks and classify themselves as white.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  24. Most British cops do not carry firearms. Only a few specialized folks do. They only show up with firearms in special circumstances. i'm not surprised by the police response to the protests in the UK. It doesn't qualify for bringing deadly force into a mostly homogeneous society. Same thing happens in the US and elsewhere in the world when the protesters and police look alike.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  25. The short answer is...they cannot do it. Surely, the athletes have been encouraged to leave their grievances and feelings about whatever is going on in the world outside the Olympic village. None of them will be speaking out against wars or murders.๐Ÿ˜Ž
