I don't know his agenda but he has written a book that outlines a compensatory counter-racist code for dealing with the system of racism white supremacy. 😎

@Pioneer1 The system of racism white supremacy makes white folks the most powerful collective on the planet. Black folks do not have such a tie that binds them. There is no system or network created by us for sustenance and security. Cats like Marcus Garvey had the right ideas but at the time, AfroAmericans were not in a space to get down with it. They were struggling to realize their birthright. Post Civil Rights movement, a failure to build and connect strategic alliances among Black folks could be attributed to laziness and indifference. Affirmative action and other initiatives were the opiates that put AfroAmericans on a collision course with complacency within the system of white supremacy. Flashes of individual and collective power among AfroAmericans have not been enough to motivate us into fully developing and sustaining it. Pitting groups of people against themselves and others and keeping them divided is a cornerstone of social engineering. The funny or sad part of it depending on one's view is that technology has made it easier to unite. Yet, the system of white supremacy is so powerful that Blacks folks won't use the tools at our disposal (technology, money, knowledge and information) to build those strategic alliances among ourselves.😎

Agreed. Organizing that 500 Black folks and getting them on code to solve a problem is a challenge. I feel that we missed a huge opportunity during the Million Man March in unifying Black men. So much more positive could have come out of that movement in terms of progress. 😎

There are many Black people in the entertainment industry but a lower percentage than white folks especially in positions of power. Hip-Hop music was started by AfroAmericans. It makes sense that we dominate it from an artistic perspective. It's unfortunate that we don't own it. When Black folks migrated to California they lived among white folks. Of course, like every other major city, the white folks left for the suburbs and took their businesses too. Black folks were left to make it by any means necessary. @Pioneer1, I understand the point you're making about a group of Black folks growing up as minorities in a sea of White folks. Cities like Seattle, WA and Portland, OR are examples of it too.😎

Do not deprive yourself of oxygen (hold your breath) waiting to see Black police officers arresting white folks for voter intimidation or anything without permission. For that reason, Black police officers won't be assigned to voting stations to monitor voter intimidation. But, they'll show up wth sirens blaring if someone breaks in line or steals a ballot. 🤣 Look no further than the January 6th insurrection. That video shows everything one needs to know about how white folks are handled by law enforcement. They were instructed to stand down. Do not fire a shot. January 6th would have been totally different if the rioters were people of color. It would have been a massacre with hundreds shot dead and/or imprisoned. There would be no investigation or senate select sub-committee hearings except to create a new public holiday...Put Em Down Day. White folks have privileges here that aren't extended or afforded to anyone else when it comes to crime and punishment. 😎

That's just it...Black folks do not have real power anywhere on the planet as long as they're afraid to come together like a transformer and exert it. Fear renders one weak and powerless. Here in the USA. white folks make the rules and laws. They give permission (empower) others to act on and enforce them within the system of racism white supremacy. AfroAmericans need a voting rights bill regardless of the US Constitution because every politician we've had from past to present has either ignored or failed to codify it. White folks haven't given them permission. 😎

Surely, several factors beyond intelligence determine the outcome of one's life (family, environment, education, self-esteem, drive, determination, opportunities and luck to name a few. We have a responsibility as human beings to insure that those who need the most help get it. That includes those who have limited mental and/or physical abilities. The choices one chooses to make is a different kettle. Regardless of circumstances, if one has been provided enough nurture to grow and they know better but choose not to be productive...the onus is on them. The blueprint for success has already been codified. Many AfroAmericans have worked it to positive effective in their lives individually. We just haven't translated it into ownership collectively i.e. wealth. The system of racism white supremacy is very real. It does not absolve AfroAmericans from doing whatever it takes to dismantling it. Mastering capitalism is a step in that direction.😎

No. We don't get to wake up and choose an occupation at will. A person's aptitude (intelligence) plays a part in determining their altitude (profession/occupation/career). The 1st 18 years of one's life are usually formative. It's during those years that education, knowledge, skills and abilities are developed that determine what they can do in life. Of course, it's up to the individual to apply themselves to becoming whatever they aspire and desire to achieve. There's no shortage of obstacles in a system of racism white supremacy. No doubt. But, there are many self-inflicted gun shots i.e. lack of preparation that keep people from becoming productive and/or reaching their full potential too. There's plenty AfroAmericans working in every type of profession/occupation/career. The problem is that we don't own enough of it (capitalism).😎

I still think it's fear more than a lack of intelligence. AfroAmericans instinctively believe killing white folks is an automatic death sentence or life imprisonment. 😎

@Pioneer1, AfroAmericans have been in Cali for a long time. Like everywhere else in the USA, it's unfortunate that our folks didn't build an economic infrastructure out there. AfroAmericans should own a huge chunk of the entertainment industry and ancillary businesses feeding from it. 😎

I believe sista Britney Grinder will be freed when the politicians decide to make a deal. Everything else is a sham.😎

Considering the number of AfroAmerican politicians we've had from past to present including a POTUS, I cannot help but to wonder why none of them undertook championing an effort to change the 13th amendment. 😎

Our ancestors invested 400+ years and counting of blood, sweat and tears in this raggedy azz country. There's no reason for AfroAmericans to leave any state in which we choose to live. We should be fighting racism wherever it confronts us. 😎

Again, I'm not surprised. There are many AfroAmericans who are growing up in environments that foster the illusion that society is colorblind. Those AfroAmericans either don't believe in or they don't know anything about racism white supremacy until it punches them in the face as if it was Mike Tyson. Regardless of how smart they might be, there's no honor or loyalty among ignorant n8gglets. The penitentiary, grave yard and unemployment line is filled with them. Some AfroAmericans have been so mixed up they're just like that box of chocolates from Forrest Gump. So, whether it's giving advice to or trying to form a brotherhood and anything else with fellow AfroAmericans, they have to be vetted first in order to know what you're dealing with and what you can expect to get from them. 😎

Just like VGQ, what you encountered falls under n8gga sh8t. 🤣 You tried to talk to the brotha while he was high on the horse. He gave you that patronizing "I hear ya Black man" and half a smile response thinking you were a carry over from the 1960s. Then, his azz got terminated. Wonder who's crying now. Tell the rest of your coworkers to STFU because they might be on deck. As Main Source said...it's just a friendly game of baseball.😎

There's a huge difference between what these n8gglets rap and sing about versus what they will really do. 😁 As NF Jr. mentioned, sure enough, there are n8gglets who will shoot you dead over a pair of tennis shoes or less. But, tell that same n8gglet to kill the white boy who shot up the supermarket in Buffalo or play his loud music in a white neighborhood and watch the fear spread all over his ashy face. 🤣😎

@Sani Nassif, as a human being and a musician, I totally subscribe to the belief that love is the ultimate healer for mankind. We're just not there yet. Unfortunately, due to the religion of racism white supremacy, love is not going to keep white folks from controlling Black folks even if means killing us. So, we have to be able to defend ourselves on multiple levels. Martin Luther King Jr. tried to use weapon of love and white folks still assassinated him. Under the guise of law enforcement and racist white supremacists, they are still killing our Black brothers and sisters with impunity. White folks have colonized the planet due to willingness to kill and superior weaponry. Black folks have been trying to love the h8ll out of white folks for several hundred years now. So far, it's not working.😎

@Pioneer1, you're not going to believe this and I probably shouldn't type it but here's a secret...Black folks do not enjoy killing as much as white folks do. White folks love to kill sh8t. That's why they stockpile wespons and hunt for sport. They stay in killing shape in the event Black folks ever rise up. But, there's one small impediment...Black folks are afraid to kill white folks. Surely, Black folks will kill each other but that's having been conditioned to hate themselves. It isn't a natural instinct to kill. That's why regardless of where Black folks live on the planet, unafraid white folks can roll through and take their sh8t. Fear is powerful.😎

Going nationwide requires a huge capital investment. If Black folks took every dime they spent eating in non-Black owned fast food joints and restaurants, they could franchise a Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles or Turkey Leg Hut in every major Black city in America. 😎

Not just Black. Hollywood has been inserting the LBGTQIA+ demographic in TV shows and movies across the board. They have a lot of power in Tinseltown. 😎

A war against white folks doesn't have to be a violent confrontation. Black folks can start by not giving money back to them. Black folks have enough knowledge, talent and resources to build a parallel system and be completely self-sufficient. Unfortunately, Black folks are afraid of more than being defeated in a war. The fear of white folks and respect for them reduces Black folks to an inferior almost child-like position. Then, there are those Black folks who believe the white man's ice is colder and will do whatever it takes to protect it. 😎

That's the key to life and we should be teaching and passing it down from one generation to the next. There's an adage that says getting paid to do something you love you'll never feel like you've worked a day in your life. The other saying is to find a job that you love so much that you would've done it for free. We live in a society that encourages people to strive for careers that pay a lot of money regardless of personal satisfaction. Gross consumerism and consumption will take care of that. 😁😎

@richardmurray, I keep reading you state basically that Black folks including AfroAmericans need to break free from the shackles of white supremacy. I agree. As you've mentioned, Black folks in other countries and on islands are essentially being enslaved by white folks from afar. A bunch of them leave their home countries and come to the USA. Then, there's Black folks who have a whole continent that is Africa. Yet, they don't totally control it either. A bunch of them also leave their home countries and come to the USA. Yet, very few of those Black immigrants really wants to build and connect with AfroAmericans. In fact, many of them look down on AfroAmericans. Black immigrants come to the USA and jump feet first into acquiesing to white supremacy under the guise of building a better life. Something they could or should have done in their home countries. As I mentioned in another thread, South Africa has a population of 59 million people. 55 million of them are Black. Yet, there was a time when those 4 million white folks ran South Africa. One must ask the question...how were they able to do that. We can discuss what Black folks need to do in order to break free from white supremacy from a diplomatic and philosophical perspective. I have sprinkled it through some of my posts here but I try to remain civil/diplomatic on a public forum. But, let me just type that for the record, so that there is no misunderstanding about where I'm coming from... The reality is the only way Black folks around the world will ever be free of white supremacy is going to war against it. Black folks have plenty of money if they pooled it. Black folks could have land too. The problem is that Black folks aren't organized in their beliefs nor logistically. Black folks do not have a security force or militia to protect us from those who wish to do us harm. The tie that should bind us is our skin color and knowing that we're all victims of racism white supremacy. Unfortunately, too many Black folks all over the world are waiting on a white savior to set them free. I'm not one of those AfroAmericans waiting on a sky fairy. I'm trying to be diplomatic in dismantling the system of racism white supremacy. But, I'm also strapped up and ready for war if it comes to pass. 😎

I don't think they filmmakers set out to make fun of gay dudes but there was no reason to include him in the film either. His role didn't serve a purpose. Everything about the female warriors made sense to me in the context of the movie. They trained like a military in order to take care of business on the battlefield.😎

Well bro, this is where we have to disagree. 🤣 White South Africans did not outsmart the Black majority. White folks were happy to coexist among the Black folks in South Africa. When white folks from outside South Africa visited and saw that Black folks were in charge and had whites working for them, they felt it was wrong. A delegation came through and convinced White South Africans to subscribe to the belief that they belong to a master race as theorized by cats like Arthur de Gobineau and Alfred Rosenberg. That set in motion what eventually became Apartheid. Of course, it was easy enough for white South Africans to receive military backing from other white countries. That's what gave white South Africans the power to rule. It was not their intelligence. White folks have no problem with taking over by force and using violence when diplomacy fails. H8ll, for a long time now, the British, French and Dutch have been running black nations with only a handful of white folks actually living there.😁😎
