Do you believe in first come first serve in hiring?
I would prefer that a brain surgeon be *qualified* to perform that work. Nobody wants their head cut open & brain exposed by someone who watched a few Youtube videos & think they got it.๐คฃ๐

Any Africans Or Caribbeans Willing To Sit Down With The Family?
Right. At one point during the pandemic, they kept mentioning how elderly people were more susceptible to & likely to die from the virus. They had old people shook. During that time, NF Jr. must have been in that number. He wasn't too concerned about the tricks &/or *poison* white supremacists mandated. ๐๐

Sure, i believe in 1st come 1st served in hiring as long as folks are *qualified* to do the *work*.๐

As an elderly person, he was afraid to get the virus & die. We see how that worked out.๐คฃ Understood. The code is just a guide. It was never promoted or intended to be gospel.๐

Any Africans Or Caribbeans Willing To Sit Down With The Family?
Using one's *power* to get s8xual favors is small ball & totally different from exercising a minor role in upholding & maintaining the system of racism white supremacy. NF Jr. had something to say about s8x & when & how it should be utilized too.๐๐

Colorism And Reversing The Anti-Black Programming
There have been short-lived movements that promoted Black love & pride. Back in the 1970s, James Brown & Muhammad Ali were heavy promoters of Black love & pride. Movies were made featuring Black folks in our own natural looks, fashion, speech & flavor. The Native Tongues (Jungle Brothers, A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul) & Public Enemy, KRS-One, Brand Nubian, Nas, Gang Starr, Common, The Roots, & many others within the Hip-Hop commmunity were Pro-Black. Same goes for R&B artists like D'Angelo, Angie Stone, Meshell NdegeOcello, Jill Scott, Lauryn Hill, India.Arie, etc. TV shows & movies have been made showing Black beauty & love & pride. The argument can be made that FBA/AfroAmericans have done far more especially through entertainment & education to promote Black love & pride. Surely, we see Black women lightening themselves with cosmetics & dyeing their hair & wearing wigs. In fairness, Black women have been doing this for many decades. It isn't new. Colorism started way back on the slave plantations. Centuries of conditioning & programming. Gonna take a long time to undo.๐

Bro...that's small ball. Literally.๐คฃ I'm referring to FBA/AfroAmericans having the power to build strategic alliances with other groups of Black folks. The power of racism white supremacy is stronger.๐

Your Obligation To AALBC
The funniest part is n8gglets are using white platforms to talk sh8t about the system of racism white supremacy. To complain about being censored by the same white folks you're talking about on their sh8t is ridiculous. Imagine a n8gglet moving into your house & complaining about everything in it. Your 1st response would or should be...get the f8ck out.๐คฃ๐

Rep. Jasmine Crockett Loses Democratic Senate Primary
The question is how did this fraudulent n8gglet get that close to a prominent member of Congress. Rep. Crockett's team should have done a better job or vetting her security detail.๐

Any Africans Or Caribbeans Willing To Sit Down With The Family?
Power & strength & violence are very real motivators. History proves it. The conditioning Black folks have received through propaganda & the system of racism white supremacy runs deep. IMO, peeling the layers of that onion & reprogramming Black folks to believe in their natural superiority will take a lot of time & effort. Right now, AfroAmericans do not have enough power to influence other Black folks to ride with us. The white stranglehold on their brains is more powerful.๐

Your Obligation To AALBC
That always reminds me of Diana Ross song "I'm gonna make you love me".๐คฃ Like any other dysfunctional relationship, the abused &/or oppressed is always trying to do something in hopes that they will be loved & appreciated. Right. Black folks can be OCD when it comes to who made the potato salad for a family dinner depending on how clean they keep house. OTOH, that same person will think nothing of what goes on in the kitchen of a restaurant. They have no idea of the food items that have been dropped or spat on or worse. A lot more of time has gone into conditioning Black folks to hate themselves. Guilty as charged. It's not that I can't curse or use certain words & phrases. It's part etiquette & algorithm. Free speech is still alive & well. Nobody's being arrested for cussing others the f8ck out.๐คฃ๐

Any Africans Or Caribbeans Willing To Sit Down With The Family?
Despite how loud & aggressive some talk especially among themselves, I find many of them to be a little shy & reserved around FBA/AfroAmericans until they feel comfortable. Those alliances will have to occur in pockets on common ground whether it's a job site, educational institution, nightclub or bedroom.๐คฃ๐

Iran Under Attack from US & Israel Again
Great question. A small example of why so many people are non-religious.๐ That would make sense to believers in such things.๐

Rep. Jasmine Crockett Loses Democratic Senate Primary
Even more crazy is dude was arrested several times for theft. He was being investigated for impersonating a police officer. Yet, this dude was able to get a security clearance & start a security company where he hired real off-duty police officers. Unfortunately, that young fella didn't use his skills to get closer to POTUS OJ. Oh well...that fella has been unalived.๐

Why Black People Shouldn't Be Too Angry Over What's Happening In The Middle East.....
Unfortunately, there's a few confused Black folks who've been colonized or radicalized into putting on a cape for a group of people who could give a f8ck less about them. Again, I'm glad FBA/AfroAmericans are staying on the sidelines when it comes to these conflicts. Right. Big pimpin. Leaders enriching themselves.๐

What Gives USA Government Right to Attack Other Countries?
The normalization & acceptance of state sanctioned, unaliving of people is the crazy part.๐

What Gives USA Government Right to Attack Other Countries?
The USA government has been on a bombing & killing campaign since last year. Fishing boats accused of narco-terrorism have been blown up. Operation Midnight Hammer destroyed Iranian nuclear capabilities supposedly. Venezuelan President Maduro was captured & extradited to the US. Right now, Operation Epic Fury, another joint effort with Israel is underway in Iran. Then, there's ICE rounding up & deporting innocent people & shooting white folks who get in their way. Hundreds if not a thousand people have been unalived by way of the US government over the past 12 months or so. The question is who or what sanctioned the US government to go on a killing spree & bring about regime changes. Congress has not voted in favor of these actions. They have been briefed after the fact. Otherwise, hard to tell Congress is not in agreement as they they have been sitting on their hands while POTUS OJ's administration does its business. US citizens are criminalized & punished for killing others. Yet, the US government is killing folks with impunity. The craziest thing is there's no huge public outcry against the US government unaliving people for power & money. They like to believe young folks have been desensitized to violence from playing video games. It could be argued that US citizens have been desensitized to death & destruction through the actions of its government & media.๐

Why Black People Shouldn't Be Too Angry Over What's Happening In The Middle East.....
One has to wonder 1) what the African countries are doing about their citizens being sold into slavery & 2) how complicit are the leaders in those countries in allowing it to happen.๐

Have you seen Within our gates from OScar Micheaux?
I wrote that slave films aren't going to be very popular. Surely, some people will watch the films & enjoy them in one way or another. Otherwise, films, music, books & other forms of visual & literary art provides entertainment in different ways. Entertainment as escapism doesn't have to be negative in the form of self-hate or low self-esteem. Many people can watch a movie or listen to music & allow it to take them away from their reality for a few minutes up to a couple hours.๐

Not surprised. Da Bears don't wanna have to deal with any potential diva WR. I don't think DJ Moore would've gone that route but sometimes the incentives in a player's contract will make them a bit more demanding. Da Bears do have enough talent on the roster & an offensive-minded head coach who will get the most out of it.๐

Have you seen Within our gates from OScar Micheaux?
Well, the archaeologists had to dig up Within Our Gates from a Spanish copy of the film. They had to edit to clean up/fix & translate it back to English.๐๐
-
Have you seen Within our gates from OScar Micheaux?
Films depicting slavery aren't going to be very popular. Mainly because it does not make people feel better about themselves. Entertainment is a form of escapism not intended to cause depression.๐

President Obama's Eulogy Of Rev. Jesse Jackson
i know this thread is about the late Rev. Jesse Jackson. I think we can take a moment to acknowledge that Rev. Al Sharpton looks like a Pez dispenser.๐คฃ Facts. The Jackson family should have laid out ground rules &/or talking points if they didn't want folks to speak politics.๐

Iran Under Attack from US & Israel Again
The government is always speaking with a forked tongue. Believe none of what they say & watch their actions. Gas prices were down 2 weeks ago. Ten (10) days into dropping drones & missiles & gas prices go up. Predictably. Investors stand to make a LOT of money as a result of this dust-up as thousands of people are unalived.๐
