Dude was Senegalese. He had been living a decent life in the USA for two decades. Somewhere along the way he became radicalized. Now, he's with his 40 virgins.🤣 Black folks know they can vacation & spend money in Dubai. Definitely not in Iran. 🤣😎

You're right. Hilarious. Just close the flip phone. We're done talking bruddah.🤣😎

Right. There's no shortage of missing, exploited & mistreated Black folks. Also, there's nothing to prevent Black folks from establishing search & rescue organizations &/or becoming private investigators & bounty hunters. Yet, for 5 weeks & counting, the media has been obsessed with a missing 84-year-old white woman whose daughter just happens to be a well known news anchor. The local police & FBI & all types of folks are running around trying to find that white woman. Every now & then, the media will catch itself & issue a statement that there are plenty of missing people around the USA. Then, the media goes right back to feeling some kinda way about that one old white woman.😎

The same white people who invented both the technology & system & start wars.😎

I'm not accusing the Chinese of mistreating Africans. They're just rude as h8ll.🤣 In talking to Africans, they're not enthused with the way African leadership is bending over backwards to accommodate Chinese development & giving away resources to white folks & Arabs. Right. That's a very short-sighted view of a real reparations package. I'm not interested in merely handing out checks so Black folks can give the money right back to non-Black folks. That would be terrible.😎

That's where strategic alliances among Black people are beneficial. Anytime a man sacrifices his home, land, women, children, etc., to another man, they will all become slaves to him. Depending on the Chinese is no different from being colonized by white folks. You're hung up on the minutiae of the larger point. Despite these organizations, there are still divisions among Black people that exist to this day. As mentioned above, there's some reprogramming necessary among Black people to remove the scales of ignorance from their eyes including the 3rd. Reparations is not about excluding the poor &/or hungry. Reparations is not just about handing out checks. The plan I envision goes much deeper. However, it ultimately benefits ALL Black people.😎

Pan-Africanism at its best would have developed multinational companies to circulate wealth among Black people. There is no reason that Chinese people should have a major foothold investing & developing African countries. No. I used it as an example of the division that already exists among Black people. The Jamaicans did not see themselves as *brothers* to FBA/AfroAmericans. Sure. I spend a great deal of time re-educating the Africans in my own family. Every time my African family members fall off the wagon & start regurgitating the BS white media feeds them about Black folks, I have to bring them back from the brink of ignorance. Talking to & taking them on field trips to see Black folks at their best can be exhausting.🤣 Right. There is no shortage of work to do. it may not be a *failed* relationship but there are definitely levels of dysfunction within it. Again, I do not believe FBA/AfroAmericans have to permanently sever ties with other Black folks. However, I do not have a problem with the movement trying to determine who should receive reparations for America's original sin. For example, not all Black people in the USA should be entitled to reparations if their lineage does not trace back to slavery here. That's a different conversation though.😎

This fella went on a shooting spree down in Texas in wake of the US & Israeli airstrikes on Iran. The shooter killed 3 & injured a dozen or so before law enforcement laid him down. For the most part, Black folks have done a great job in minding their own bizness & staying out of these conflicts. There will be a few stray Black folks who decide to drink the Kool-Aid & ride with the BS. They do not represent the rest of us.😎

@frankster...for a very long time, FBA/AfroAmericans have tried to form alliances with Black folks across the diaspora. Pan-Africanism hasn't really developed & taken off in a major way. Mainly because of the propaganda you mentioned that has brainwashed Africans & other Black folks. West Indian Blacks were extremely hostile back in the heyday of the drug epidemic. Where I'm from, FBA/AfroAmericans & Jamaicans were killing each other. There's a mutual respect & mostly indifference now. I'm not for dividing Black folks (tribes) as a permanent solution. Again, I would love to see all Black folks united especially against the system of racism white supremacy & its proxies. However, I do believe a tribe has to be unified internally before they can form strategic alliances with other tribes. FBA/AfroAmericans have some work to do within before getting into situations with others. Like any human entanglement, one must heal & eliminate unnecessary baggage from a failed relationship prior to getting into a new situation.😎

In other news, Iran has named Mojtaba Khamenei as their new Supreme Leader. Mojtaba is the son of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei who was recently killed by US airstrike along with 40 members of his leadership circle. Remains to be seen how long the US & Israel will allow Mojtaba Khamenei to stay in power.😎

That would bring white racists out like vampires in the daytime.🤣 White folks do not want a woman of any color in charge as POTUS. A couple of sassy sistaz don't stand a snowballs chance in h8ll of running the USA.😁😎

Every pork chop preacher gets the same response on Sundays & during other speaking engagements.🤣 POTUS FDR's His mandate was to pull white folks out of the Great Depression. That's no reason to gatekeep a wife. She's generating more wealth for them. That's not embarrassment. The Obamas are running the same playbook. As I mentioned in previous threads, rich & powerful men think differently when it comes to women. It's hard to become wealthy & keep it. Women come a dime a dozen especially to rich & powerful men. Most Black women stand by their men regardless of whether he's rich & powerful or more broke than a bag of glass.🤣😎

Surely, in certain cultures they do. That's part of the reason Iran is catching drones & missiles as we type.🤣 My guess would be either women or the alphabet soup community. One huge problem there...Black folks don't have that kind of power in the USA. We don't *own* this country.😁 White folks can barely who comes in & stays here in the USA. They're trying to address it now & catching h8ll.🤣😎

Yet, they have figured how to become the most powerful people on the planet.😎

They are willing to take jobs Black folks no longer want to do & jobs that require skills AI cannot do. White supremacists are going to use AI to put *educated* Black folks in a real trick bag. That gravy train is going to dry up in a few years. The people who develop skills working with their hands will always be able to find a job.😎

What did his eulogy influence or motivate people to do? Every POTUS has a mandate to fulfill upon taking the job. It comes from the most powerful groups of people. The whereabouts of his wife always seems to be the question whenever POTUS Obama makes an appearance without her. Former FLOTUS Obama is making her own moves out in these streets. Clearly, she's not tethered to her husband. It's funny that nobody asks why POTUS OJ doesn't wear a wedding ring & FLOTUS always looks like she's being forced to make appearances with him whenever she does show up. The Clintons look more like business partners than a happily married couple. That's mainly because their marriage is an arrangement. Expectations are very different when it comes to white men & their wives.😎

Right. Same mentality leads to their tribalism. Sure. Some men of all races & ethnicities try to gatekeep the women. It's hard for minorities anywhere to access power. Degrees of separation are negligible when it comes to how Arabs & Persians perceive Black folks. I don't believe either group really cares for Black folks beyond getting money from them. Absolutely not. Right. No different from the USA. We see how that's working out for Black folks who are still dealing with it in one way or another here in the USA. I'd imagine it's even worse for Black folks as minorities in Persian & Arab countries. We already there is anti-Black sentiment around the planet. The question is what are Black folks going to do about it. I believe Black folks have enough knowledge, skills, abilities among ourselves that we can close ranks & not be bothered with those who aren't down with us for whatever reason. There's nothing that compels Black folks to be around people who are steeped in anti-Black sentiment.😎

Due to their religious & cultural beliefs, it might be frowned upon within Iran. However, if one can afford to take an Iranian woman elsewhere & she's willing go...surely, it can happen. There's no shortage of Iranian (Persian) & Arab women living outside their home countries. I'd imagine some of them are kicking it with non-Iranian men. The question is why would you want a Persian or Arab woman when there's no shortage of available sistaz. Israel imported Africans through their colonization efforts. Why should FBA/AfroAmericans question the way Persian & Arab countries handle their bizness? I'm not so sure that questioning those folks will enrich our lives.😎

Former POTUS Barack Obama still has the gift of oratory. He gave an excellent eulogy for Rev. Jesse Jackson. Glad Rev. Jackson's celebration of life was well done. Despite the fact that the white supremacists did not allow him to lie in state at the US Capitol. Another example that Black folks don't have to wait on white folks for validation &/or acknowledgement. In the words of the late, great James Brown, "I don't want nobody to give me nothin', just open up the door & I'll get it myself." Thanks to everyone who made Rev. Jesse Jackson homegoing a stately affair. Job well done. RIP Rev. Jesse Jackson. 😎

Good luck. Educating the masses about race & class status would solve all of the world problems. There is no appetite for that level of enlightenment especially among the greedy & powerful (plutocrats) who use it to control world order.😎

I'm definitely not advocating that Black folks become warring factions against each other. Absolutely not. Right. True riders in the struggle for freedom & independence are already on code. Those Black folks throughout the diaspora know the deal. Exactly. Weeding out includes all Black folks who are working against their own in one way or another. Strategic alliances means building with like-minded Black folks across the diaspora. Ideally, I would love to see all Black people united against the common enemy...the system of racism white supremacy.😎

There will always be folks who try to infiltrate & undermine a movement. Have to be wary of & vigilant about weeding them out. Otherwise, the FBA/AfroAmerican movement that promotes delineation from misaligned folks; unity within & building strategic alliances is ideal. Reprogramming people takes a a great deal of effort. Neither Pan-Africanism nor Black/Brown alliances has really worked out in that regard. Other Black & Brown folks have reaped the benefits that FBA/AfroAmericans paved the way from them to be in the USA. Non-FBA/AfroAmericans are still throwing a lot of shade at FBA/AfroAmericans & more aligned with the system of racism white supremacy. IMO, FBA/AfroAmericans are better served pouring that energy into unification & reparations.😎

Israel has the full support & backing from the USA. Hands just as dirty.😎

Iran definitely got a Saturday morning surprise. One day they're at the negotiating table & the next day...leadership turned into charcoal. Gotcha. I started a thread for the sake of posterity. Someone reading this forum years from now will knoe that we acknowledged Operation Epic Fury. White folks are giddy as h8ll that Iran has been hit up. They believe death to America will no longer be heard. Otherwise, this is another conflict in which FBA/AfroAmericans have no stake. This is not our bizness. 😎

There's a huge Hispanic voting block in Texas. State Rep. James Talarico carried most of them. Hopefully, Democratic party defending n8gglets won't blame FBA/AfroAmerican men for Rep. Jasmine Crockett losing her senate bid. If there's any question about which way Hispanic folks lean when it comes to Black candidates...Texas is Exhibit A. Unfortunately, they use Rep. Crockett's soundbites painting a sassy, loud Black woman against her when it comes to non-Black voters. I totally support the way Rep. Crockett rolls & carries herself. I hope she never backs down. She should keep giving those clowns the bizness.😎
