  1. Among the living, Dr. Cornel West & Michael Eric Dyson engage in quite a bit of intellectualism.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  2. Technically, China is the oldest empire & still going strong.๐Ÿ˜‰ If the USA implodes under its largesse & collapses losing any type of empire status, the consolation can be that Great Britain, Italy, Turkey & Russia, etc. still exist. Otherwise, the world has been taken over by global capitalists. Countries will become business centers. Super-power countries will continue to exist as major hubs for the global capitalists. Think of it like the airport system.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  3. Two things can be true. The Jacksons could have had a difficult childhood. But, their father, Joe Jackson was determined to keep them from becoming factory workers. Joe Jackson successfully pushed his children into fame, celebrity & stardom. He provided his wife with a better life. I do not recall any Jackson including momma Kathryn throwing away the fortunes they made in the music business because of how Joe sacrificed their lives.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  4. @frankster ...the government is threatening to release UFO/UAP files & audio transcripts.๐Ÿ˜ Don't get too excited though. Same old grainy pictures & videos. No alien bodies. Former POTUS Obama nailed it when he comically said this country cannot secrets. Anything significant &/or substantial would've been leaked a long time ago.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  5. Right. About 74 million people voted for POTUS OJ. I believe we can add another 20 million to that 50 million. That's just voters. Then, there's millions of people im the USA who didn't vote for the jackazz but support his BS. For that reason, I believe POTUS OJ is the personification of what most white folks in this country think & feel but may not have the outlet to express it. Especially white men. They are giddy as h8ll right now. Thankfully, there isn't another white man on the horizon who can take the torch & run with it. This too shall pass.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  6. Black people out-number white people in terms of global population. If Black folks were as barbaric as white people have shown themselves to be, we could literally wipe them off the map. It doesn't seem Black folks are wired to crave power & to dominate other people by any means necessary including violence & murder. I'm not referring to the Black folks who kill for criminal reasons. They don't hold a candle to the people who start world wars & exterminate millions of people. I believe the world would be a peaceful place if the situation was reversed & Black folks were on top.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  7. Star Wars actor Mark Hamill posted this picture.๐Ÿ˜ Apparently, despite the fact that POTUS OJ has no class or empathy whatsoever, the MAGA folks didn't appreciate the picture of their beloved leader.๐Ÿ™„ Death is inevitable. It should be easier to embrace & accept especially for someone who is sanctioning the killing of people around the world.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  8. https://www.al.com/politics/2026/05/trump-appears-to-call-reporter-a-b-after-she-asks-stupid-question-shes-a-horror-show.html Word spreading around the internet is that POTUS OJ called journalist Rachel Scott a b*tch after she asked him a few questions. Rachel Scott asked POTUS OJ why he was spending money on the Reflecting Pool & White House ballroom renovations while gas prices are soaring. That is a legitimate questions considering the average American doesn't care about those things more than having their own money to afford basic necessities. POTUS OJ never one to shy away from being petty as f8ck didn't appreciate the question(s). So, he verbally attacked the reporter & her employer (ABC News).
  9. As the resident agnostic, I believe religion is another tool of oppression under the system of racism white white supremacy. Don't recall writing that all racists are Homo Sapiens but they are as human beings. None of anything reflects the entirety of it. IOW, the entire species cannot be racist. Racist beliefs is one part of the definition. Racists also seek to destroy &/or oppress others based on race. The broader definition of racism is having the power to oppress others based on race through institutionalized systems. White people have a monopoly on racism. They operate through a myriad of institutions with religion & politics being an aspect of it.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  10. I'm not equating conservatism with racism but the fact that most racists also happen to be conservative is telling.๐Ÿ˜‰ Of course, conservative non-white folks cannot be racist (no power). The fact that they support group & ideology filled with racist people doesn't make a whole lotta sense.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  11. Right. Unless it's 100%, people still have a choice (10% per your example). They don't have to consume the same biomatter & social media platforms.๐Ÿ˜ Just because so many other people do is no excuse. It only justifies being lazy.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  12. There's not much difference between them after too many cups of that conservative Kool-Aid.๐Ÿคฃ The same white evangelicals & racist conservatives would put those n8gglets back on a plantation if it was possible. White folks have always used smart negroes who willingly sold their souls to be tokens parroting & supporting the BS that is racism white supremacy. White folks can confer credentials (Stanford emeritus, JD or PhD, etc.), on a token Black person but they cannot give them legitimacy among Black folks.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  13. I mainly use YouTube as a music library.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  14. Such is the nature of capitalism. These social media platforms are not very old. We can clearly see how money was poured into turning them into behemoths. Human nature tends to gravitate towards the most popular. Only a minority of people goes against the grain. Again, that's why McDonald's has sold more hamburgers & French fries than any other fast food chain.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  15. Interesting that all of the other Jacksons appear to fine. I still believe the level of fame & stardom MJ received pushed him to another side. Prince's doctor was fined for prescribing opiods to him. MJ's doctor actually served jail time for negligence in his overdose.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  16. They are all similar including Byron Donalds & Tim Scott.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  17. Personally, I do not have disdain for FB. Just never had a reason to use the platform. Also, I don't find appealing the thought of people I haven't seen or talked to in 40+ years tracking me down.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  18. MJ seemed relatively normal until Thriller catapulted him into the stratosphere. Then, there was skin bleaching, surgeries, exotic pets, children as friends & his adopted white kids & drug addiction. Mike left up outta here a whole mess.๐Ÿ˜ Prince went out from Fentanyl but his drug use started with painkillers. Otherwise, he had always been clean & didn't tolerate drugs & alcohol around him.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  19. Obviously, I haven't been around here long enough to know of any former posters. It is great that they are still producing content. Would be great if those indiciduals were still posting here but we know the net effect of the white man's ice. Even the most intelligent, educated, astute & well-written/spoken brothas & sistas fall for the ice. Amusing to me is Black folks who talk sh8t about the same white folks who own the platforms they are using to host their content i.e. Fa*ceb**k, Y*uT*be, Gram, Tok, X, etc.๐Ÿคฃ There's always the hope that Black folks will find their way out of depending on white folks & become independent & autonomous.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  20. @aka Contrarian...thanks for sharing the article here @ AALBC. Enjoyed reading it. Of course, I've never had any use for folks like Thomas Sowell & Clarence UncleThomas. There have always been & will always be Black folks who willingly take up a seat of contentment within the system of racism white supremacy & support it. Unfortunately, whenever Thomas Sowell closes his eyes for eternity, another conservative coon will take his place.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  21. The current administration & state of politics is a whole reality show circus.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  22. Only a Black man could be dead for 17 years & folks are still trying to sue his estate. Interesting that charges have been filed upon the release of a Michael Jackson (MJ) biopic. Nevermind the 100s of millions of dollars white folks stand to make on the movie alone. Now, the same white folks will try to redistribute any money due to MJ's estate to others. White people know how to insure that others eat at the expense of non-white folks. Just as when MJ was alive, I had no sympathy for his circumstances because he chose to give money back to white folks between 1) scandal & 2) adopting white children.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  23. Right wing-nuts who are usually pro-guns & have a mouth-piece in POTUS OJ who says all types of outlandish sh8t...now they want the Left to tone down their rhetoric before someone else gets killed. It's impossible for POTUS OJ to do everything he's doing & saying whatever he wants wirhout someone getting angry enough to want him silenced. The Right should be encouraging POTUS OJ to shut up & stop f8cking with people & maybe he won't have target on his forehead. It's really that simple. Especially in a country with *mentally ill* people who have access to lots of guns. The media needs to stop reporting that POTUS OJ got shot in Butler, PA &/or was almost assassinated. A bullet grazed POTUS OJ's ear the 1st time. Saturday, the gunman was captured long before he could have taken any significant shots. That won't stop people from being violent nor prevent the media from gaslighting them.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  24. Back in June 2025, Operation Midnight Hammer supposedly took out Iran's nuclear producing capability. In February 2026, Operation Epic Fury supposedly took out more of Iran's nuclear capability & wiped out their Navy. Yet, one of the conditions of a deal is Iran turning over enriched uranium & any other nuclear material & promising to never pursue a nuclear weapon. The question is how can they do such thing if everything has been destroyed. Then, Iran is supposedly laying mines & threatening the Strait of Hornusz. Seems like that would be harder to do wirhout Navy ships. The US has spent $55 billion dollars blowing up sh8t & killing Iranian people. Part of the negotiation is unfreezing about $20 billion in Iranian assets. The current administration complained about previous ones wasting billions of dollars in Iran. Go figure.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  25. Maybe forum upgrade coincided with the sabbatical @Pioneer1 takes sometimes.๐Ÿ˜ Hope he's able to find his way back here. ๐Ÿคฃ Looking forward to him tapping in whenever time permits.๐Ÿ˜Ž
