Most Americans vote for the lesser of two evils depending on their views and agenda. Black folks have it even worse without an agenda. Many Americans are poor, homeless, strapped by student loans, upside down mortgages, facing foreclosure and eviction, runaway gas prices, etc. Then, there is America's crumbling infrastructure (roads, bridges, tunnels, parks, etc.). Plenty work to be done and jobs to be had if/when they decide to fix everything that is broken and/or that needs to be upgraded. Our elected leaders debate the issues that could enrich American lives. But, they are in total agreement when it comes to sending $40B to a country overseas or starting a war. All of this is aired through a media cycle that is on 24/7/365. Yet, Americans refuse to accept that regardless of party, politicians are two sides of the same coin. Watch their hands. Follow the money. 😎

Dr. MLK Jr. definitely understood the struggles of black folks in America during his time and into the future especially considering the system constructed by white folks. Also, as a man of faith and knowing black folks were out-gunned and also that white folks enjoy killing, I'd imagine Dr. MLK Jr. felt that non-violence was a better approach than the wholesale slaughter of black folks in America. Dr. MLK Jr. saved AfroAmerican lives through non-violent protest and resistance. He wrote a book entitled "Why We Can't Wait". Despite the marginal gains of black folks in America, I doubt that even Dr. MLK Jr. understood the global impact of the system of white supremacy and how long it stands to last. 😎

Most human beings are not born barbaric. Therefore, we do not walk around naturally hating each other. It usually takes a set of conditions and/or circumstances to make most people negative. Such is not the case with white folks. They enjoy killing people and they're very good at it. If someone shows up at my *house* and rings the doorbell, it would not be my first instinct to mistrust or hate them. OTOH, if someone was trying to break-in to my house, I would deal with that situation accordingly. All over the planet, native people have welcomed white folks into their land only to be destroyed, conquered and colonized. Unfortunately, this happened before the internet. There was no global early warning system. 😎

Baby formula is the latest ruse being used to keep folks dazed and confused. Pandemic, supply chain shortages, immigration, conflict, inflation, abortion, monkeypox, etc. Red herrings are falling from the sky. There is a mid-term election in November. Keep that 3rd eye open. 😎

There is no need for anger towards benevolent white folks. Just don't fall asleep when it comes to the role they play in the maintenance of white supremacy. Helping black folks makes white folks feel better about themselves considering the legacy of America. 😎

I knew it. Chose not to make my diatribe longer by including that fact. Thanks for addressing it. 😎

The basic purpose of education is literacy in providing folks with the requisite skills to function in a *civilized* society. Institutions of higher learning are supposed to provide specialized training in various fields of study. Ivy league institutions are exclusive country clubs, er, educational facilities that allow privileged folks to network among themselves. The main purpose of all institutions of higher learning is handing out lottery tickets into the world of employment. There's a huge labor force and a finite number of jobs. The goal of affirmative action was to level the playing field in providing minorities with an opportunity to access the same education and job opportunities as white folks. My feeling has always been that black folks should be using every opportunity towards their own wealth building infrastructure on all fronts. Not merely to get a *good* job and paychecks. Having a solid infrastructure in place, black folks would not have to depend on affirmative action. Our institutions and job markets would be robust enough for black folks to thrive and survive independently. 😎

Yep. I know exactly what you mean. It usually happens between Thanksgiving and New Years around here. Folks are really nice to each other as long as they're not fighting over a cheap TV on Black Friday. Once January 2nd comes...people revert back to themselves. Azzholes. Yeah...I'm thinking catastrophe of epic proportion with no room for selfishness. Probably won't happen in my lifetime. 😎

First, it was the achoo virus. They still aren't trying to let that one and its variants fade to black. Encouraging folks to get vaxxed and boosted a couple times despite cases spreading among them too. Now, it's take comfort in being vaxxed and boosted because it will keep folks out of the hospital and the morgue. Right. On the heels of that *pandemic*, there are rumblings about smallpox 1.5. Monkeypox is a zoonotic illness but it can be spread from person to person under the right conditions. It's not a major thing yet but CDC is keeping its eye on the ball. Stay tuned. There's a midtern election in November. Immigration, Inflation, conflict, abortion and disease just to name a few are the ingredients for a political stew. As always, be reminded to watch their hands and follow the money. Politics is a dirty business. They don't leave anything off the table. 😎

Adding to the confusion, scholars wrote, er, interpreted these scriptures filled with *wisdom*.😁😎

I grew up in a time where the elders would tell us to "stay out of grown folks' business".😁 Well...whenever white folks have a dust up or skirmish among themselves...that's not black folks' business to get involved one way or another. However, black folks already under the persecution of racism white supremacy need to figure out to avoid the sh8t that rolls downhill when the dust settles between the white folks. They won't call them immigrants so....wherever they choose to go, Ukrainian refugees will be able to find safe harbor in other countries around the world. The US has already committed to taking 100k Ukrainians. The Governor of Ohio has done a PSA (public service announcement) extending an open invitation to them. Black folks had better hope they are not relocated in order to make those accommodations. 😎

A deadly asteroid strike could be a wake up call to humans. Bring it. I think it's going to take a catastrophic event or natural disaster to force human beings to take better care of each other. 😎

The point you're trying to make is an insult to the latest victims of a racist tragedy and black folks as a whole. 😎

Hate crimes are very real in America. That's why there is an Anti-Asian Hate Crime Bill that was passed with overwhelming support in both the House and Senate. Black folks in America are victims of hate crimes far more than any other group of people yet do not have similar protection in the form of legislation. IMO, that makes it easier for racist white folks to continue killing black folks with impunity.😎

Racism is alive and well as evidenced by the fact that it motivated a teenaged white boy to kill 10 innocent people this past weekend. 😎

Fortunately, I live in the perfect spot. I'll keep traveling and visiting other places but so far there's been no place like my home. The people, food, music, opportunities, etc., are just a few things that influence my rationale. 😎

It doesn't have to be that way. Black folks could be in a better position to defend themselves nowadays. Instead of buying clothes, shoes, jewelry and vehicles, etc., use some of that money to buy firearms. 😎

High self-esteem, always smiling and positive, unselfish and a genuine love for humanity.😎

Quite a few. Thankfully, most people don't know they imprisoned to something or someone else. 😁😎

One believes they're free while the other dreams of and aspires to a better life. The one thing they both have in common is being a prisoner. 😎

There's a whole lot of white folks in that number too. In 2045, there will be 200 million white folks and 240 million non-white folks in America. That is a problem for white folks. With a stagnant population growth, white folks are tired of white women aborting the future of their race. Again, the anti-abortion folks do not give a d8mn about non-white folks. 😎

My concern is that a white guy shot and killed 10 black folks in a grocery store. The shooter apologized for pointing his weapon at a white person laying on the floor. The police didn't fire a single shot at him. They allowed this guy with a gun in hand to decide whether he's was going to kill himself or surrender. Racism is very real. It's a fact that many black folks are dealing with racist crap in one way or another every day. 😎

I'm hoping black folks will turn their guns on racists especially if it means protecting themselves.😎

The Buffalo shooter admitted that he was a racist who was indoctrinated by white supremacist ideologies.😎

Sure. White folks own nearly all of the guns and have the easiest access to them. I wonder why they need so much firepower. On the flip side, black communities are encouraged to give up their firearms. That only makes it easier for whoever seeks to dominate and/or destroy us. Right now, black folks are out-numbered on all fronts (manpower, weaponry, technology, etc.) if genocide was waged against us today. The maintenance of white supremacy still remains the greatest threat to black folks.😎
