  1. Bro...that's small ball. Literally.๐Ÿคฃ I'm referring to FBA/AfroAmericans having the power to build strategic alliances with other groups of Black folks. The power of racism white supremacy is stronger.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  2. The funniest part is n8gglets are using white platforms to talk sh8t about the system of racism white supremacy. To complain about being censored by the same white folks you're talking about on their sh8t is ridiculous. Imagine a n8gglet moving into your house & complaining about everything in it. Your 1st response would or should be...get the f8ck out.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  3. The question is how did this fraudulent n8gglet get that close to a prominent member of Congress. Rep. Crockett's team should have done a better job or vetting her security detail.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  4. Power & strength & violence are very real motivators. History proves it. The conditioning Black folks have received through propaganda & the system of racism white supremacy runs deep. IMO, peeling the layers of that onion & reprogramming Black folks to believe in their natural superiority will take a lot of time & effort. Right now, AfroAmericans do not have enough power to influence other Black folks to ride with us. The white stranglehold on their brains is more powerful.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  5. That always reminds me of Diana Ross song "I'm gonna make you love me".๐Ÿคฃ Like any other dysfunctional relationship, the abused &/or oppressed is always trying to do something in hopes that they will be loved & appreciated. Right. Black folks can be OCD when it comes to who made the potato salad for a family dinner depending on how clean they keep house. OTOH, that same person will think nothing of what goes on in the kitchen of a restaurant. They have no idea of the food items that have been dropped or spat on or worse. A lot more of time has gone into conditioning Black folks to hate themselves. Guilty as charged. It's not that I can't curse or use certain words & phrases. It's part etiquette & algorithm. Free speech is still alive & well. Nobody's being arrested for cussing others the f8ck out.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  6. Despite how loud & aggressive some talk especially among themselves, I find many of them to be a little shy & reserved around FBA/AfroAmericans until they feel comfortable. Those alliances will have to occur in pockets on common ground whether it's a job site, educational institution, nightclub or bedroom.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  7. Great question. A small example of why so many people are non-religious.๐Ÿ˜‰ That would make sense to believers in such things.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  8. Even more crazy is dude was arrested several times for theft. He was being investigated for impersonating a police officer. Yet, this dude was able to get a security clearance & start a security company where he hired real off-duty police officers. Unfortunately, that young fella didn't use his skills to get closer to POTUS OJ. Oh well...that fella has been unalived.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  9. Unfortunately, there's a few confused Black folks who've been colonized or radicalized into putting on a cape for a group of people who could give a f8ck less about them. Again, I'm glad FBA/AfroAmericans are staying on the sidelines when it comes to these conflicts. Right. Big pimpin. Leaders enriching themselves.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  10. The normalization & acceptance of state sanctioned, unaliving of people is the crazy part.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  11. Thanks @Pioneer1. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฟ Any thread that praises AALBC & @Troy is a great thing. I certainly appreciate him for providing this space for us & everyone who contributes & reads it.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  12. The USA government has been on a bombing & killing campaign since last year. Fishing boats accused of narco-terrorism have been blown up. Operation Midnight Hammer destroyed Iranian nuclear capabilities supposedly. Venezuelan President Maduro was captured & extradited to the US. Right now, Operation Epic Fury, another joint effort with Israel is underway in Iran. Then, there's ICE rounding up & deporting innocent people & shooting white folks who get in their way. Hundreds if not a thousand people have been unalived by way of the US government over the past 12 months or so. The question is who or what sanctioned the US government to go on a killing spree & bring about regime changes. Congress has not voted in favor of these actions. They have been briefed after the fact. Otherwise, hard to tell Congress is not in agreement as they they have been sitting on their hands while POTUS OJ's administration does its business. US citizens are criminalized & punished for killing others. Yet, the US government is killing folks with impunity. The craziest thing is there's no huge public outcry against the US government unaliving people for power & money. They like to believe young folks have been desensitized to violence from playing video games. It could be argued that US citizens have been desensitized to death & destruction through the actions of its government & media.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  13. One has to wonder 1) what the African countries are doing about their citizens being sold into slavery & 2) how complicit are the leaders in those countries in allowing it to happen.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  14. I wrote that slave films aren't going to be very popular. Surely, some people will watch the films & enjoy them in one way or another. Otherwise, films, music, books & other forms of visual & literary art provides entertainment in different ways. Entertainment as escapism doesn't have to be negative in the form of self-hate or low self-esteem. Many people can watch a movie or listen to music & allow it to take them away from their reality for a few minutes up to a couple hours.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  15. Not surprised. Da Bears don't wanna have to deal with any potential diva WR. I don't think DJ Moore would've gone that route but sometimes the incentives in a player's contract will make them a bit more demanding. Da Bears do have enough talent on the roster & an offensive-minded head coach who will get the most out of it.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  16. Well, the archaeologists had to dig up Within Our Gates from a Spanish copy of the film. They had to edit to clean up/fix & translate it back to English.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  17. Films depicting slavery aren't going to be very popular. Mainly because it does not make people feel better about themselves. Entertainment is a form of escapism not intended to cause depression.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  18. i know this thread is about the late Rev. Jesse Jackson. I think we can take a moment to acknowledge that Rev. Al Sharpton looks like a Pez dispenser.๐Ÿคฃ Facts. The Jackson family should have laid out ground rules &/or talking points if they didn't want folks to speak politics.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  19. The government is always speaking with a forked tongue. Believe none of what they say & watch their actions. Gas prices were down 2 weeks ago. Ten (10) days into dropping drones & missiles & gas prices go up. Predictably. Investors stand to make a LOT of money as a result of this dust-up as thousands of people are unalived.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  20. It's all good. Leave it in place.๐Ÿ˜ When the rubber meets the road, white male patriarchy wins the POTUS. White folks here in the USA are not ready for a woman to run it. IMO, Black folks sitting out the elections do not make a difference in the POTUS result. Black folks did not fail Rep. Jasmine Crockett in Texas either. The Hispanic vote is the swing that is pushing white candidates across the finish line. Supposedly, POTUS OJ cannot run for re-election so ousting him isn't the end goal. Usually, Democrats unseating GOP congress-folks in the midterms would render POTUS OJ a lame duck. However, that doesn't insure that POTUS OJ will be a lame duck because he's doing all types of sh8t without Congress.๐Ÿคฃ Black folks are beginning to realize their vote is 1) taken for granted by Democrats & 2) meaningless to Republicans. White folks decide which direction this country is heading for better or worse. Black politicians benefit from the table crumbs. it's just enough to keep them belly full too.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  21. Happy b'day to vocalist Bobby McFerrin. IMO, despite his other work, "Don't Worry, Be Happy" is the song he will be most remembered for recording back in 1988. D8mn...40 years goes by fast. I respect McFerrin's skill as a singer/vocalist but he would not be my 1st call to work with musically.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  22. Don't know if this was a Freudian slip/type but hilarious nonetheless.๐Ÿคฃ The Democratic party definitely needs an infusion of candidates with personality & most importantly an agenda if they really want to slow down the GOP. IMO, merely running as an alternative to POTUS OJ is not enough to galvanize voters to derail the clown car.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  23. Right. Because the US & Israel did not *choose* the new leader. The safest bet is to follow the money. Geopolitics usually revolves around manipulation & control of resources.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  24. @frankster & @Chevdove...the common *problem* in your discussion is the sources of information. Such is the nature of debate as it relates to prehistoric events & religion. Neither National Geographic nor *scholars* nor anybody else really knows when the Earth split because it happened long before a human could record it. There is no real proof or evidence of such events. A *scholars* word for it is worth as much as the paper written upon.๐Ÿคฃ Otherwise, these topics do make for great discussion/debate. Carry on.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  25. Gotcha. The Jews have been doing their thing around the world for quite some time. They claim the new Supreme Leader may have been injured from airstrikes. I'd imagine we'll know soon enough whether the Supreme Leader hobbles around outside or gives a speech or he gets dragged through the streets as a martyr. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
