  1. The movie has broken a box office record for a sports film with a weekend opening gross of over $100 million worldwide: ciehttps://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/creed-iii-box-office-opening-1235340591/ Since I think Michael B. Jordan and Jonathan Majors are both talented actors, I'll definitely check the movie out the within the next few days. Don't bother to tell me who won the fight.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  2. That would make sense if polygamy was legal and if older men were taking care of more wives and concubines.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  3. I don't think Ben Crump will jump into politics. His law practice has been very lucrative.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  4. That's been going on forever. Same dynamic. Most men are visual and remain that way as they age. Younger women have a physical profile that works like natural viagra for older men. Older men usually have better financial security and/or more disposable income than younger dudes. Younger women will date an older man for money and security. They also know he can't beat it up too bad and he'll be asleep before midnight. When that older man gets tired and sleepy, a younger woman can hit the streets (bars, clubs and parties) and hang out with the younger dudes she'd prefer if they weren't broke. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  5. There are plenty AfroAmericans enjoying success to varying degrees. But, there's no leadership. The AfroAmerican community doesn't have strong enough voices among us to amplify our concerns and encourage us to stay on code.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  6. Brotha @Troy, I hope that platform works out to your advantage. Use whatever it takes to amplify your brand. As an OG, I've never joined Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. Contrary to my presence here, I'm not much of a social media guy in that regard. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  7. Younger, testosterone-filled men usually try their hand at older women mainly for s8x, food and money. They're adding a notch to their conquest belt. Also, younger men don't want to deal with the 1) competition and 2) drama and 3) pregnancies that come with dating among their peers. Conversely, older women like to think they're still attractive and full of vigor. While older women are hitting their stride s8xually, the men in their age group are running out of gas on several levels. Yet, only a very small percentage of older women dating younger men will last for any length of time since they don't have too much in common. A younger man isn't going to want t deal with an older woman's mentality and ailments. Especially if she starts reminding him of his mother. On the flip side, an older woman won't be able to keep up with a younger man's energy and physical desires for a long period of time. More than likely, a younger man won't be able to provide an older woman with emotional stability and financial security. In a flash, it's a fun adventure for both older women and younger men. Like an amusement park ride. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  8. @Pioneer1, Black unity is definitely not about pulling dead weight across the line. My idea of Black Unity is about having the ability to close ranks, communicate and cooperate if/when things go sideways. Dysfunctional n8gglets will have to be left to figure it out. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  9. As we know, Civil Rights Attorney Ben Crump has been putting in work for a while now. Last week, he won an NAACP award. His acceptance speech is here: The quotable at the 5:30 mark for which he might be remembered is, "we have to be prepared to fight for our children's future until h8ll freezes over. And then, we have to be ready to fight on the ice."๐Ÿคฃ I have clowned brotha Ben Crump for his public speaking. But, I also give credit when it's due. Ben Crump went hard in the paint at the NAACP awards and delivered. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  10. Organized sports is an outlet for high testosterone. The military doesn't accept folks just because they're aggressive and/or wan't to kill folks. The military has their own way of breaking folks down and turning them into soldiers.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  11. Don't lose any sleep waiting for action. Nothing is going to happen. This won't even be a frigid war.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  12. I know you weren't asking the resident agnostic but the answer is...nope.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  13. Well, getting killed is permanent so the degree of pain is less relevant. Women were built to give birth. They're been doing it for a long time. Before the invention of epidural medication and painkillers. Both infant mortality and maternal mortality are relatively low especially in the most developed countries. That's why there are 8 billion people on the planet. A whole lot of procreation and childbirth.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  14. That's what they were born to do. If they didn't, we wouldn't be here.๐Ÿ˜ Many men make the ultimate sacrifice and give up their lives in order to protect. Both genders have their roles to play in the continued existence of human beings.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  15. Most people are mainly concerned with 1) survival and 2) finding a slice of happiness. The 2nd (happiness) comes in many forms. Getting high is just one. ๐Ÿคฃ But, I keep saying....when it comes to these devils, follow the money and watch their hands. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  16. Agreed. Politics is just another trick white supremacists use to reinforce the system of racism. Dividing Black folks into camps of conservative and liberal takes their eye off the ball that is systemic racism. Individualism is great unti sh8t hits the fan. There's strength in numbers. Black folks do not have it in that regard. No amount of money, political affiliation or ideology will save a house that is divided if/when white supremacists decide to burn it down.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  17. Sure. Oppression and social injustice are just a few factors. Anarchy, rebellion and mental problems are others. Some men are just aggressive and violent. Too much testosterone. Littlrle to no interest in p8ssy.๐Ÿคฃ Those type dudes would rather hang together in a pack like wolves and fight and kill instead of chill with a woman. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  18. The celestial orchestra just inherited another star. Thanks for the great body of music; tunes that musicians will play forever. RIP Mr. Wayne Shorter.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  19. My conjecture had nothing to do with NYC. It was in response to your question about the soccer stadium not being built in Maryland. However, I've been alive long enough to know that soccer hasn't been popular among AfroAmericans especially compared to American football.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  20. @Pioneer1, you already know when someone can't beat the bully they pick on a smaller or weaker person.๐Ÿ˜ Oppression works the same way. Instead of joining forces and overthrowing the oppressor, stupid, er, disenfranchised people fight each other over dumb sh8t. Gang-bangers fight and kill each other over drugs, money, terrority and things that don't even belong to them. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  21. @Pioneer1, DC Mayor for Life Marion Barry and Mayor Coleman Young of Detroit were those dudes. Today's AfroAmerican politicians are a far cry from them. @richardmurray, I'm not sure of why Prince George's County, Maryland turned down a DC United stadium. If I had to guess, it was probably because AfroAmericans aren't huge soccer fans.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  22. Protecting Taiwan is the reason for any US military build up in the western pacific. The US doesn't want China to pull the same move that Russia is doing against Ukraine. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  23. Disenfranchised groups of people usually resort to destructive sh8t. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  24. Some mainstream media outletd spin sensational news. It has become entertainment. One has to read and watch unbiased news outlets in order to get some semblance of real news and the truth. Everything about the pandemic has become less interesting all of sudden. A year ago, the lab leak would have been in heavy rotation. Now, the war in Ukraine is headline news. Chinese weather balloons. Mass shootings. Some mainstream media outlets are full of it in how they deliver news. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  25. AfroAmericans did very well in Washington DC especially from the 1970s through late 1990s. As Washington DC is becoming less chocolate, the middle-class and affluent AfroAmericans just moved to suburbs on the outskirts of the city. That's why a suburb in Maryland consistently ranks high as one of the most affluent enclaves of predominantly AfroAmericans in the United States. Washington DC deserves much credit for making it happen.๐Ÿ˜Ž
