By definition, black folks cannot be racist because we do not have the power to discriminate against and/or marginalize another group of people. 😎

The number of legal gun owners and the amount of firearms they possess outnumbers the entire black population in America. 😎

As I mentioned above, I thought the article provided great info and advice and was very well written. 😎

I wonder if it's a coincidence that gas price dropped a dime because oil companies posted record profits. IMO, POTUS or any President/world leader can influence gas prices. POTUS has a good reason for going to that meeting in Saudi Arabia. Maybe get the Saudis an/or OPEC to open the spigot. 😎

Great info and advice. Being open-minded defnitely leads to better communication and understanding and could eventually lead to....knowledge and wisdom. 😎

@Stefan, nor was I calling or implying that you were an extremist. My post was intended to be humorous.😎

I didn't link the article to avoid driving folks to that ISP.😁 Amalgated Bank submitted an application that would create a merchant code for gun sellers. The merchant code would allow gun and ammunition sales by credit cars to be tracked. The application was denied twice. Yet, several mass shooters have used credit cards to spend thousands of dollars on firearms and ammo. Pushing the responsibility of gun control back k to elected officials seems like a convenient way to allow gun folks to continue making money and keeping privileged Americans armed. 😎

No doubt. It's never too late but it seems our folks are content with the political status quo and its boilerplate agenda. 😎

Yep. Another proverb says pride comes before the fall. 😎

@Pioneer1, I'm hip. The high unemployment I'm referring to will be among college educated folks who will be replaced by robots. 😎

A hate crime has a specific definition according to the FBI. Every crime committed against another group of people doesn't automatically qualify as a hate crime.😎

@Pioneer1, as we've already discussed, politicians primarily work for special interest groups. Black folks haven't submitted an application, er, provided agenda to become a special interest group. 😁 As an advisor to the POTUS, Keisha Lance Bottoms' job will be to help the old.guy keep the juggling balls in the air. 😎

Mind control would be the end game. I believe the objective is for AI to replace the human workforce. Similar to outsourcing jobs overseas. Unemployment will be off the chain in 20 years. I see the handwriting on the wall so clearly that I refuse to use self-checkout. 🤣😎

Reparations is a very necessary conversation and endeavor to undertake. In the meantime, it's par for the course that there's no shortage of folks who will profiteer from hustling our issues.😎

Cowardly white men enslaved, tortured and mistreated black folks for 400 years. Adding insult to injury, white men of a similar mentality stole ideas and inventions from black folks and sold them as their own. White men start world wars against each other. Anyone and anything else in their path is collateral damage. 😎

D8mn. Those arrows are center mass. No need to check the target. 😁😎

There will be a rise in the number of babies among poor unwed white women if/when abortion becomes illegal. 😎

In a hypersensitive society where there are no losers, not important might seem harsh. While the sentiment is true, the politically correct response is lower priority. 😁😎

Greg, it's obvious that you're disappointed in and disgusted with black folks. Hopefully, you've been able to set your family up in a safe and healthy environment that you all will never come across the black folks you despise. There are plenty places in America with a less than 1% black population. Check out the great state of Wyoming. 😎

Right now, as I type, thousands of Russians and Ukrainians are killing each other. Looking at them, it's hard to see their differences.😎

Again, in the same way Jews hold on to the holocaust, therein lies the reason it's extremely important for AfroAmericans to learn, teach and never forget our own history in this country. AfroAmericans knowing our history is not to use it as a crutch or an excuse but in order to fully understand the system under which we live and how it works. At the same time, AfroAmericans knowing where we come from should instill a sense of pride for how far we've come and push for an even brighter future in a system of justice. 😎

https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a40310705/why-are-gas-prices-so-high/ No surprise that oil companies are posting record profits as Americans pay record prices for a gallon of gas. Meanwhile, the gov't muses over whether or not it should place a higher tax on oil company profits. I seriously doubt politicians have a real desire to agitate their paymasters and shareholders. 😎

@Troy, I know you got this in terms of figuring out the legitimate versus BS. The behavior you seek to understand is just an extension of racism within America. Whether it's a white person pretending to be black or a self-hating black person, they eventually *reveal* themselves and/or they disappear. Trolls and bots are like flies and mosquitoes at a cookout. 🤣😎

Bro, I know and you're 100% correct. I cannot help but to acknowledge that we have challenges. But, also articulate that black folks are so diverse and dynamic that we can moonwalk, chew bubblegum, braid hair, cut fades, build sh8t (engineering and computer science), create art and music, athletically gifted, bring flava to everything we touch and the list goes on just to name a few things.🤭 i know haters are gonna hate regardless. I don't mind putting Chess moves on a sucker playing Checkers.😁😎

There are millions of black fathers who are positive role models to their children, families and within their communities. These black men are unsung heroes who are chipping away at the system of racism one brick at a time. 😎
