Democrats have been very good at BSing Black folks. They pander for our vote and to date have delivered nothing tangible specifically for Black folks. Benign neglect is what we get. The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act hasn't passed in the senate where democrats have a razor thin majority. Yet, the Anti-Asian Hate Crime Bill flew through congress faster than a fart in a tornado. Student loan debt forgiveness has stalled. Rest assured, that if it were to pass, it would benefit whites and other groups of people more than Black folks. If Black folks are going to continue voting for Democrats overwhelmingly, it would be prudent to put forth demands and hold them accountable for delivering results. Vlady Putin knows that he cannot rebuild the USSR. He'd settle for maintaining the sphere of influence over the countries. Putin doesn't want NATO in his backyard. He knows that as long as Ukraine is in conflict, they cannot become a member. He's making Chess moves.😎

Until race is no longer being used to murder, maim or marginalize and cause other types of harm, pain and suffering to Black people, we should remain vigilant in whom we trust and who we allow to be amongst us. While race may be considered an arbitrary construct, the system of racism white supremacy and its tethers are very real.😎

Yep. Rock Newman is a Black man. 😎

Well, despite its dysfunction, America is my birthplace and *home*. I celebrate the good and call out the bad. Tunisia was conquered by Arabs 1,300 years ago. The Ottoman empire conquered and ran it for 300 years. The French colonized it for 75 years. Black folks have been a minority in Tunisia for 13 centuries. Migrants will fare worse. But, I'm never surprised by the ethnic cleansing and colorism countries practice in order to further malign Black folks. The question remains at what point will Black folks close ranks and *fight* for their *right* to exist on this planet in peace and prosperity. To date, Black folks all over the planet seem to be content with the status quo of trying to thrive and survive in prison of racism white supremacy. 😎

During my childhood, I had a friend named Boogaloo. His mom had a beard and a mustache. She was loud and aggressive. His dad was a relatively quiet, tall and lanky; hardworking man. I don't know what he *saw* in his wife. Then, there was my aunt Bert. She looked like Miles Davis. 🤣 Otherwise, you're right. There are distinct differences between men and women.😁😎

I know why people leave their home countries for a *better* life here in America. Even if it means being poor in NYC. AfroAmericans/FBA (Foundational Black Americans) have been on this continent over hundreds of years and counting. 1) America is *home* for FBA. We have nowhere else to go. 2) FBA has been in America long enough to have built an infrastructure and institutions to be more self-sufficient. The handouts won't last forever. Considering that a huge percentage of the world population is poor, I'm not advocating that people stop f8cking. Rhetorically, I'm questioning why they reproduce. It's preventable. America is huge. If the cost of living in NYC is too much, there are cheaper alternatives. Of course, one might have to take action...relocate.😎

The Left knew a conservative court would wreak havoc on abortion rights, Affirmative Action and anything else they can rollback. When they're in the driver's seat, instead of nominating judges and codifying laws, the Left seems to spin in a circle and complain about the Right being obstructionists. The Right doesn't have a problem jamming through everything they can when behind the wheel. At some point, it will slip out that these parties are two sides of the same coin. Their common agenda is maintaining the system of racism white supremacy.😎

Nah bro. Suge Knight single-handedly destroyed Death Row Records. He was too busy acting like a thug instead of doing business like a CEO.😎

Rest assured that many Black student college educations have been financed by gangster activities. As mentioned early, it's not too different from what the white mafia has done to take care of their families and enrich themselves. I'm not glorifying or condoning that life. Just providing perspective. 😎

No surprise how they're trying to spin this non-story. I'm sure the killer won't get as much press.😎

I grew up with a lot of brothas who were very intelligent and did well academically too. Yet, for many of those cats *school* didn’t seem to offer a pathway to real prosperity and wealth. Nor did they want to work for white folks. So, they did *illegal* sh8t to build legitimate businesses. That gangster who is intelligent, charismatic and strong is usually the CEO of a corporation under different circumstances. 😎

Yep. The fact that hardly anyone knew Death Row sold at auction was by design. Regardless of how anyone feels about the music produced by Death Row, there goes Black intellectual property into the hands on non-Black folks. 😎

Begs a few questions: 1) why do people still live in such an expensive place 2) what are they doing to improve their lives 3) why are people still reproducing if they cannot afford to take care of themselves. One must take a personal responsibility and accountability to thrive and survive wherever they choose to live. Waiting on white folks to hand out jobs, lower rents, make quality healthcare accessible and affordable, etc., doesn't seem to be working. 😎

I heard there are folks losing their lives doing dumbazz challenges like surfing subway trains. Prime candidates for a Darwin award.😎

For the sake of clarity, I should have typed every generation will have folks who believe the future generation will be worse.😎

Every generation thinks the future will be worse off. Human beings are adaptable creatures. The children will be fine. They no longer write in cursive. No pretty handwriting or signature. Everything is printed. But, the younger folks can type and work the h8ll outta of a cell phone, tablet or computer almost before they can walk and talk.😁 I predict the future generation of humans beings won't any more or less confused than the current or past generation. There's nothing new under the sun. 😎

That was fast. Seems like just yesterday the movie was in theaters but it was released back in April.😎

Because they march to their own drumbeat and prefer solitude over everything else, Sigma males may not appeal to women who are needy and/or clingy. A self-sufficient woman who does her own thing will have a greater appreciation for a Sigma male.😎

He's a Harvard educated guy (attended with former POTUS Obama), therefore, he has the intellectual capacity to be a public servant. The orange former POTUS wasn't a politician before he ran for office either. We see how that turned out over 4 years. Millions of people still love him.😎

Fair enough. I've read your thesis so I'm not surprised.😎

Hill Harper admits that he's not a politician. Hus campaign is grassroots and funded by donations through his website. No superPACs. I think Hill Harper would really try to help the state of Michigan. Hopefully, he wouln't get corrupted by DC.😎

Mainly because most Black leaders knew militancy could have led to a race war resulting in the wholesale massacre of most AfroAmericans. Even if they so desired. AfroAmericans would not have been able to amass enough weapons and bloodlust to launch a military campaign against their oppressors. Instead, AfroAmericans settled for integration, faith, hope and the belief that one day we'll all be free and that white folks would treat us fair and equal. 😎

Knowing the history behind it, I saw the movie when it was in theaters. It was entertaining enough.😎

As I mentioned in another thread, most wealth is in the cloud. A paranoid billionaire couldn't have a Brinks truck pull up and drop all of their money in the front yard.🤣 It's conceivable that the US treasury could produce large denomination bank notes for such individuals. Otherwise, as long as Oprah cannot touch or cash in her wealth, she's a mouse click away from losing it all especially if she p8sses off white folks. Remember how Kanye's fortune dropped like the Dow Jones over that claim of antisemitism. Death Row Records was worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Someone bought it for pennies on the dollar when it was sold at auction. Oprah's business assets are worth a few billion dollars as long as she's cooperative and white folks are in agreement. My house is only worth a half million dollars as long as someone is wiling to pay that much for it.😁😎

Yep...rest the dead...that brotha ruffled a lot of feathers as it relates to male/female dynamics. 🤣😎
