  1. Agreed. For too long, Black folks have been like an abused spouse in a dysfunctional relationship with white folks. Black folks expecting white folks to be nice and kind and to stop hauling off and slapping the sh8t outta of them or handing out black eyes. Then, having nerve to ask for s8x later.๐Ÿคฃ White folks are totally on code when it comes to anti-Black sentiment and maintaining the system of racism.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  2. I watched/listened to the video. The conditions that put Black folks in poverty and make it harder to get out are different than it is for white folks. Black folks don't own the avenues to generating income nor do we have direct access to power. OTOH, if the millions of whiite folk living in poverty stood together and demanded better wages or living conditions, it could happen for them faster than anyone else.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  3. That was very well done.๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  4. Excellent. Love to see folks getting their flowers while they're still among the living.๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  5. A white man could get up off his sofa, shave, shower, put on a suit and apply for a job. He'd either replace minorities or be their boss in less than 6 months.๐Ÿ˜ Many white folks don't have to be in poverty here in America. They have chosen to remain or be poor. There's no other reason to explain why poor white folks vote against their best interests. Unless the threat/promise of keeping Black folks beneath them is a benefit. There's a reason the media doesn't run around America showing a bunch of broke, dirty and dysfunctional white folks either. Poverty in America is real. But, it's not an American problem. It's a self-inflicted wound especially for white folks.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  6. The same way POTUS takes credit for policies that are crafted by others; he must also take blame. He's ultimately responsible for everything that happens under his administration.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  7. The Breatharian and Indian holy man should be teaching more folks how to eat to live and not just because the McDonald's French Fries are hot.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  8. It will be interesting to see if the company gets away with paying fines and/or if they will be forced to loosen up their monopoly. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  9. Wars bring out the worst in humanity. There are no real winners. Plenty losers.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  10. IMO, they would be happy with whoever is cooperative in going along with the program.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  11. Nope. You're not the only to see this situation for what it is and how it relates to the dirty business of politics and power. Unfortunately, the sleight of hand tricks and tactics will continue to keep many Americans distracted, dazed and confused. When it comes to politics, follow the money and watch their hands. Too many folks who look like us are down with the programs. AfroAmericans need to pay attention to every anti-Black weapon being formed against us.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  12. I mentioned that in my initial post.๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜Ž
  13. NYC Mayor Eric Adams had to know it was just a matter of time before the federal probe into his campaign financing would catch up to him. https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/12/politics/eric-adams-investigation-cooperate/index.html The media is reporting that Mayor Adams is not the target of the probe but there are less than 6 degrees of separation between him and the folks being investigated. Maybe this trump card is a way of keeping Mayor Adams in check when it comes to those all expenses paid migrants popping up in NYC. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  14. It doesn't take long to accuse the peanut gallery, er, forum of refusing to do research and provide proof from reputable sources.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  15. Hilarious.๐Ÿคฃ White folks would not allow Oprah to produce and show that movie on her OWN network. They would wipe her sh8t clean off the cable feed.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  16. It's live footage to the extent that the combatants and victims are not actors. The media is somewhere close by reporting too. Otherwise, it's not uncommon for the media outlets to use the same event footage for different stories. They definitely loop videos and use old footage for dramatic effect and in order to spin the narrative as well. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  17. A man who is successful on any level will not have a problem attracting beautiful, intelligent, strong women if he so desires. H8ll, I've seen and heard quality women complain about gay dudes being a *waste* of a good man. ๐Ÿคฃ Otherwise, real man doesn't hide his women or make excuses for why he doesn't have one. Again, if a man chooses an alternative lifestyle sexually, that's his business. No need to fake the funk though. Some of us see straight thru that BS. Sen. Tim Scott could have a harem full of white women. IMO, he's a mama's boy or doesn't really want a woman.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  18. The Upside was a decent movie. Another chip in Kevin Hart's ascent to success in the entertainment business. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  19. Yeah mayne, dude is weird. It was reported that he was a virgin up until his 30s. He's unmarried, no kids and has never been romantically linked to a woman. When questioned about it, all of sudden, he pulls this woman out of the closet. Reminds me of Sen. Cory Booker pulling the same stunt when he was running for POTUS. He has similar status (unmarried, no kids and no woman). Then, Rosario Dawson was his girlfriend supposedly. They broke up shortly after his POTUS run petered out. Folks are entitled to their privacy. It really doesn't matter if these dudes like women or bussy. No need to fake it though. As Audio Two said...I (we) don't care.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  20. Right. They receive public and/or private donations to do some type of work or provide services.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  21. Clearly, many folks do not remember the Fat Albert cartoon: As @Pioneer1 mentioned, this guy never stood a chance of winning the nomination. I chuckle at the millions of dollars donated and spent on these campaigns in a losing effort. Americans throw money away like it's bad food. Sen. Tim Scott claims he's 1) not endorsing another candidate and 2) has no cabinet-level aspirations. Yet, I believe that if Orange Julius succeeds in becoming POTUS again and offered Sen. Scott Secretary of Interior, he would take it. Do not trust a Black man with a fake girlfriend. Something ain't right about him.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  22. True. Hence the saying beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some folks see beauty in the strangest forms and things. I've seen folks attracted to people who could best be described as a booger-wolf.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  23. Brotha Troy, I hope you had a great Zoom event today. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  24. Abortion has become a political football more than a moral issue. Just another thing used to keep folks divided and distracted. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  25. Nope. I believe everything happens for a reason though. Correct. Things happen for a reason beyond our ability and/or comprehension. The universe doesn't make mistakes. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
