Right. Until we set up our own sh8t and control it, it's important being able to 1) identify problems and 2) solve them.😎

I'm not championing phenotypical range race mixing. In fact, I would prefer to establish more communities that are predominately Black and self-sufficient. @richardmurray, I'm curious to know how you would solve the race problem(s) and/or unify Black people. 😎

@richardmurray, back to our regularly scheduled programming of your opposition/rejection of my opinion.😁 I knew our being in agreement wouldn't last too long.🤣 It's all good bro. I'll continue to sit in my proverbial easy chair calling balls and strikes as *I* see them. I don’t need an amen corner. I'm here for the dialog with my fellow Black folks. One thing is for sure...we cannot rewrite history or change it. Best we can do is try not to let the most brutal history of AfroAmericans repeat itself. 😎

We should be able to surmise how and why Black concentration camps, er, ghettos were created throughout America. @Troy, makes several great points. But, Jackson, MS is a great example of how Black folks have not progressed in the South. Mississippi is a prime example of where Black folks would be had they not migrated to less dangerous places (north and west). Atlanta, GA is the home of significant Black wealth. It could be a microcosm of Black paradise in America. Along the lines of Garvey-ism, if Black folks were to ever consider a mass exodus, taking over a state like Georgia would be a great place to flood and flourish with intellect, industriousness and talent, etc. Black folks could make their state the best place on the map and a beacon of light for the world. We don't even have to ask for it in a reparations package. Just start moving down there. 😁😎

Definitely looks interesting. I'll circle back to this thread once I've had a chance to read it.😎

Dr. Cornel West adequately calls them Black faces in high places. No real power. VP Kamala Harris is a great example of it. She's so lost she denies that racism still exists. With n8gglets like VP Harris in the 2nd highest position in US government but powerless...Houston we have problems.🤣😎

It's happening for all the world to see and hear. Believe it. 😎

Of course, I'm very familiar with the late Chuck Brown, beloved Godfather of our local Go-Go music scene. As a musician, I'm a fraternal member of the Go-Go scene having conections to and having played keyboards in a few well-known bands. I have not visited Mahogany Books but I know exactly where it's located. I'll check it out when time permits. 😎

The boyfriend un-followed her on social media. I'll go with she's pretty nutty for $200.🤣😎

All housing and types of it serves the same purpose I mentioned above. 😁 Guess what's going on in a 32 bedroom mansion with a bowling alley, tennis court, movie theater, swimming pool and a groundskeeper. Eat, sleep, sh8t, f8ck. 🤣 Nicer things come with a price that someone is willing to work for and pay. It's not given away.😎

IMO, women with a legitimate claim will be undeterred by this situation. However, those women who make false allegations will think twice about it. Hopefully, this young lady's mental state will make them drop the charges.😎

Correct. Therein lies the difference between need and want. People will do just enough to have their basic needs met. White folks are providing just enough access (jobs, loans, credit) for Black folks to live comfortably. Reminds me of when n8gglets sit around talking about how they want a Benz but they do just enough to get a hoopty.🤣 However, when people want something...short of luck, they have to work for it. Becoming slf-sufficient means it's time for some action or as you quoted...get busy.😎

No need for fancy houses when accommodating an influx of people showing up as a labor force to work. The people just needed a place to shave, shower, eat, sleep, f8ck and raise their children. 🤣😎

@Pioneer1, that's why I mentioned building first. Before fixing anything, an assessment has to be made of whether or not it's worth repairing and/or if it needs to be gutted and rebuilt. Either way, the solution isn't to stand around looking at and discussing the problem(s) indefinitely. Eventually, it's time for action in order to get the work done. That starts with finding the *right* people people who have the requisite knowledge, skills and abilities to make it happen. 😎

Yep. Unfortunately, Souf'east still makes the news more than any other quadrant of the city.😎

That's a typo. Frying...could be a Freudian slip tho.🤣 The US government knows exactly what's going on with everything traveling land, sea, air and space. The US has satellites everywhere. They see and hear everything. It's all about maintaining military readiness and remaining the #1 Super Power on the planet. UAPs/UFOs is a convenient distraction to keep people preoccupied with something else. It's a money-making form of entertainment.😎

Within the context of this discussion....OG as in Old Guy. 😁😎

That begs the question of why would advanced beings interact with humans. If advanced beings did or do come through every now and then, where's the proof and evidence. More importantly , if advanced beings interacted with human beings, why aren't we any better off as a species. To date, human beings are still plagued with dysfunction in terms of how we treat each other and incurable diseases. Human beings still haven't figured out how to live outside this planet. We can just barely leave it. But, some other being has the ability and technology to travel light years. I'll never buy it.😁 But, extraterrestrial sh8t is great source material for the human imagination and entertainment; monetized in books, movies, TV shows, etc. 😎

Wait a minute bro....I was born and raised in Southeast Washington DC.😁 Do not come for my beloved city and specifically for my section of it.🤣 I'm an OG now but still repping SE DC to the fullest. I wouldn't be here without it.😎

I'm not getting that box. Try clearing your browser data (cache, cookies, etc.) and log back onto the site. Maybe there's some junk in your trunk.🤣😎

@Pioneer1,obviously I would not condone the codification of dysfunctional and non-constructive behavior. Surely, there is a small population of AfroAmericans who choose to be dysfunctional and do dumb sh8t. We have to deal with the chicken heads and dusty dudes accordingly. Even some of them can be redeemed when righteous rise up. It's easy to look at a house in disrepair and complain about or neglect it. But, if that house is a worthwhile investment and inhabitable, then it's just a matter of making the necessary repairs. Building or fixing requires action. At some point, we have to do the work. 😎

The US military has been testing all types of aircraft for several decades now. UFOs/UAPs originate on Earth and most are manufactured in the USA. 😁😎

For that very reason, we cannot allow them to ignore missing and exploited Black folks based on this one situation.😎

I wear being Black as a badge of honor. I'm proud of it. I truly believe that Black people are the righteous. That's why other races of people attack and undermine us. It may not happen in my lifetime but Black folks will eventually get tired of being mistreated and destroy our enemies. When the Black man rises; peace will be restored to the Earth.😎

OK. I know you don't use narcotics to get high.🤣 Whatever you *believe* about mermaids and aliens stems from an active imagination. 😁 But, I won't try to convince you that neither of them exists because I don't have any evidence or proof. 😎
