Absolutely not. It is the opiate that makes life under the system of racism white supremacy more bearable for some folks. China only has a higher population of people. They do not have the same military strength from a technological perspective. A world war won't be as many boots on the ground. Drones and other hi-tech sh8t will be used to *fight*. Most Black folks work for white-owned companies and businesses. Fear can be mental and/or physical. As @frankster mentioned, it doesn't have anything to do with intelligence.

Right. Marriage is a social contract of accountability that serves to maintain quotas and provide a moral framework in governing s8xual relations. Men tried to come up with a way to keep themselves from running around impregnating women without a commitment to take care of them and their offspring. Especially at time when women were not providers and head of households, it would have been at bad look to have men dropping children everywhere and not providing for them. We live in a society that believes it is a better look for men and women to be in committed relationships stamped in holy matrimony. Of course, like the late Heavy D said, independent-minded folks got their own thang.

They are trying to protect rich and powerful white folks. The same white folks who donate huge amounts of money to their political campaigns. Just like the JFK files and MLK files and everything else they cover up, if they are released at all, do not be surprised if the Epstein files have been redacted and sanitized to the point of a nothing burger.

Comfort and fear. Apparently, when it comes to s8x...humans don't have to do a whole lot of thinking. They aren't concerned about their *problems* or living situation. Regardless of an individual's condition and/or circumstances, when the hormones kick up, somebody gonna get it in a shelter, alleyway, near a trashcan, abandoned car, etc.

D8mmit brotha @Troy...I knew there was a latent sense of humor behind that literal, no-nonsense virtual persona.

Neither a woman nor a man has to be married in order to enjoy companionship and s8xual satisfaction. It is easier for a woman to replace the batteries in a gadget than it is to get rid of another human being especially if/when they start f8cking up and/or getting on their nerves.

It is not about about consciousness and/or enjoyment. Nothing about this existence is of concern to the dead. Regardless of one's beliefs, when looking into a casket, it does not appear that dead people are in pain or suffering from anything. I get it. The natural desire of most humans is to live regardless of the conditions and/or circumstances. Those who control the levers of power know it too and that's why they will put people through all types of sh8t. The believers in sky fairies want to go to heaven but none of them really wants to die. That's also why those same people have a hard time understanding suicide and other forms of martyrdom. Again, many folks are willing to endure poverty, pain and suffering for a morsel of enjoyment and/or happiness.

"Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once". Those who flee and/or give up the fight are still dying...slowly. No more problems, pain and suffering. Death brings peace and freedom.

A lot of people would be vegetarian or pescatarian if they had to hunt for and/or slaughter their own food.

Slavery was horrible. Reparations should be paid to FBA/ADOS. As Black folks, we don't have to repeat cycles of dysfunction in response to slavery. People should be able to provide for offspring instead of relying on the government or anyone else to take care of them. As adults, we have a responsibility to do strive to do better by every means necessary.

The government should not be responsible for birth control. Why should a homeless person want to bring a child into the world and not being able to provide for them? Isn't it the responsibility of their parents to teach them better? Despite the fact that @Pioneer1 believes people lack intelligence, Black folks have been educated for many decades when it comes to the responsibilities of children, poverty, homelessness, etc. IMO, it is very selfish of people to bring children into the world and not be able to take care of them. The government and taxpayers shouldn't have to bear that responsibility either.

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/house-vote-full-epstein-files-release-move-speaker/story?id=127593181 It didn't take long for Bill Cosby, R. Kelly and Diddy to be charged and convicted and punished for crimes against women whether they were guilty or not. For whatever reason, white folks are having a hard time releasing the files on pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Apparently, the file contains the names of powerful people who supposedly weren't guilty of getting down with underage girls but they hung out with Epstein. The talking point is these powerful people shouldn't be exposed and/or have their lives ruined because they were associated with Epstein the pedophile. These powerful people are guilty by association especially if they were hanging out with a pedophile and underage girls were around too. In real-time, we are witnessing the lengths to which white folks will go in order to protect their own who commit crimes and let them get away with it. Even more interesting is that white women never seem to be outraged when white men commit crimes against women and children. Almost as if they expect it. I already knew how white women rolled when about 15 of them were in a room and asked about POTUS OJ grabbing women in the crotch. Every last one of those women basically said..."boys will be boys". In other words, they didn't care. The people named in the Epstein files really don't have anything to worry about. Their wives already know they are dirt-bags. Just keep bringing that money home so she doesn't have to get a real job.

Black folks need to pool resources and build institutions that generate wealth. For example, the Nation of Islam generated a lot of money selling bean pies and Final Call newspapers. Entertainment was a wide open area that Black folks could have invested in themselves by maintaining ownership of their intellectual property and selling it instead of enriching non-Black folks.

Right. It is no different from reading several books, newspapers or magazines, etc. Consuming information from a variety of sources gives the listener/reader more material to broaden knowledge and/or shape perspective.

In the grand scheme of things, white folks are using American taxpayer dollars to take care of their own people in other countries. IMO, they are not getting their azz whooped by a higher intelligence. It is more powerful. If someone is in a fight with a smaller person and a bigger brother, cousin and uncle showed up...intelligence will not save them from a major azz whupping. The only choice becomes fight or flight. Fleeing to safety means accepting b8tch status and/or being treated however the host chooses. That is why it is important to learn self-defense. Once a person runs from a fight, they will be running forever. Some people are perfectly comfortable with b8tch status. It has never been a good look for a man though.

As a successful woman, it is not a decision she has to make. I remember the late Larry King asking Martha Stewart if she would every remarry. Martha said...I'm already rich, why do I need to be married? Larry King was stuck for 30 seconds. You could see the bubble over top of his head saying "women need a man". Independent women don't have to be married especially if the sole purpose of having a man is to get her oil changed. Any Jiffy Lube will do.

Anonymity reinforces the message too. We saw pictures and video of Neely Fuller Jr. but he mostly was a voice on the radio. True. It is an easy assumption to make. Especially when the average person is not a critical thinker. Excellent deeper dive into the meaning of tether. That should be applied to any spokesperson. Listeners have to be able to separate from the chaff and wheat. Again, critical thinking skills are important too. Tariq Nasheed provides good commentary. He raises food for thought. He's a comedian with it too. Folks like Professor Black Truth/Black Authority and Rizza Islam provides counter-balanced perspectives. Listeners are best served taking the substance of commentary on issues and also doing their own research to validate/confirm it too. The biggest *problem* most people have is taking everything someone says as gospel without following up behind it. Reminds me of religious folks who never crack their bibles open to verify scriptures or anything else their pastors preach. We cannot

Once we start thinking along those lines, it is better to buy meats and produce directly from trustworthy butchers and farmers.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett is a fearless cutie pie. She needs to be protected as much as possible. Otherwise, as an unmarried career politician, it will take a while before Rep. Crockett settles down into a marriage and/or responsibilities that come along with it. it will be interesting to see how far she goes in her political career. I still don't believe the system is ready for a female POTUS. But, I can see Rep. Crockett in a cabinet-level position i.e. Vice POTUS, Secretary of State, etc.

Tether refers to the non-FBAs here who talk sh8t about us and/or think they are better and have accepted snd bought into the system. Sure. The New Black Media should: 1) report and call out anti-Black issues 2) promote positive FBA endeavors and achievements 3) keep pushing for reparations 4) provide actionable solutions to fight the system of racism white supremacy As long as the New Black Media maintans the watch and keeps FBAs informed they are providing a service to the community. The Jews have organizations that call out antisemitism wherever it pops up. They are prepared to ruin perpetrators. We saw how much money Kanye West lost for running his mouth. FBAs need a similar voice when it comes to anti-Black sentiment, crimes and policies. New Black Media is the closest thing.

Brotha Rizza Islam brings his receipts to the chop session. I understand the food products he was referring to in the video. Especially between chemicals in produce and testing engineered food in other countries. I still contend that restaurants and food establishments here in the USA cannot use meat substitutes without disclosing it. Unless FDA is in on the trickery.

Racism is a learned behavior. Put a bunch of 5-year-olds on a playground of all races. They will run around and play with each other. Bring those same kids together 5 years later and watch how they act towards each other. Some of them might be a little different. 20 years later they're in their camps.

That would be hilarious to find out a giant rodent is running the most powerful country on the planet. I've heard something similar. Would be a travest to the American people if the Food & Drug Administration is allowing GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms) and other meat substitutes. However, it would be consistent with capitalism and greed. Sell the cheapest product for the most money. People get sick and die on schedule. The rich get richer.

They take care of their own people. Syrians and other refugees should've stayed at home. Makes no sense running to another country and still be impoverished. That may be a sign of low intelligence. America protects them because many white folks here can trace their bloodlines back to those places. Also, those countries are strategic allies. They have something to offer the US.

No surprise. Lowest possible charge. Lesser penalty. Qualified immunity from law.
