1 hour ago, frankster said: How did you know about it???
Did it blow up in a Walmart parking lot?
Multiple media outlets reported it. Real video footage.
It blew up at Cape Canaveral. Well known NASA launch site.
1 hour ago, frankster said: If not Officialdom's reportage......
What evidence or proof do you have that this occurred then?
Beyond the NASA video, multiple eyewitnesses confirmed it. No cover-up or top secret files.
1 hour ago, frankster said: Or Where you there when it happened?
The video was clear enough that I could see & hear as if I was there.
The point is that even if staged it was a public spectacle. Not hidden or obscured in a shroud of secrecy.๐

28 minutes ago, Pioneer1 said: No, he won't be around forever but the foundation of socially accepted racism and fascism as well as the fascist restructuring of the government that he's attempting to lay COULD last for decades to come.
It could last forever if someone was willing to keep it going beyond him. I don't see that kind of movement among the MAGA base.
These people will enjoy the BS POTUS OJ is creating & when the proverbial picnic is over, they'll get in their pick-up trucks & go home.
In fact, the MAGA base is already becoming jaded. In 2 years or less, they will fade away like the Tea Party.
28 minutes ago, Pioneer1 said: For more than 10 years he's been busy making openly racist and hostile language "acceptable" in the media and in society in general.
The things he's said and has encouraged his followers to say was unthinkable just 20 years ago for any private citizen to be allowed to say let alone the President.Only POTUS OJ curses & insults people on live TV. None of his followers go as hard. They use him as a proxy.
28 minutes ago, Pioneer1 said: When the media reported him saying "when a man has money women will let him do anything including grab them in the pussy".....and folks still voted for him by the millions, I knew it was down hill from there....lol.
Right. POTUS OJ made that statement before he got elected the 1st time. He was sat down for a 4-year cycle & was re-elected back into the driver's seat for a 2nd time with a ton of baggage.
POTUS OJ represents far more than the 74 million folks that voted for him. There are Independent & Democrats & non-voters living vicariously through him.
POTUS Obama was the 1st of a kind that we'll never see again in our lifetime. POTUS OJ is not equivalent to him but similar as a one-off.
I believe starting with the 2028 election, the next few POTUS will be plain in terms of their personality & actions; rather dull & boring.๐

9 minutes ago, Pioneer1 said: Lol, that's like going to the local police station and filing a complain over police brutality against one of their officers.
There are several avenues for making the case.
9 minutes ago, Pioneer1 said: Actually, knowledge and intelligence is the VERY THING that will help AfroAmericans not only face but overcome that very system!
Diplomacy only works up to a point. Look no further than the current conflict with Iran.
While they continue having high-level meetings to discuss the issues, the default is that we'll go back to blowing sh8t up & killing people if a deal cannot be reached.
Not to mention how effortlessly the USA blows up boats in the water suspected of running drugs.
Violence & war is how white folks get down when diplomacy fails.
9 minutes ago, Pioneer1 said: Knowledge and intelligence allows you to build the tools and effectively use them to get what you want accomplished in nearly any human endeavor.
That's how White folks were able to get dominate others....through knowledge and intelligence.
They were intelligent enough and knowledgeable enough to develop sophisticated weapons that allowed them to conquer and dominate.White folks have been using violence to conquer & dominate using sticks & stones. Long before advanced weaponry which is just an extension of it.
For whatever reason, you give white folks credit for being intelligent when they are barbaric more than anything else.๐

Prof......YOU were a teenager before.
Did YOU run out in the street with a pack of other boys blocking traffic, grabbing your crotch, and throwing up a finger at the police and passing drivers with a big grin on your face?
Did you get together with other boys AND GIRLS by the dozens and go out invading liquor stores smashing up shit and snatching liquor and snacks out of the place with big grins on your faces?As a Gen-Xer, I did not act a fool but I had plenty friends who did the same sh8t & in some cases much worse.
Back in the late 1970s/through mid-1980s, DC had gangs. Many of them graduated to become drug dealers & killers.
Those same Gen-Xers are either stretched out in the penitentiary or no long longer with us. Some of them managed to reproduce too.
9 minutes ago, Pioneer1 said: These kids are different.
The Crack Babies have grown up and have produced children of their own....lol.It is true that Crack babies have become adults & reproduced.
These young people are doing the same dumb sh8t as their parents (Gen-Y) & in some cases...grandparents (Gen-X).๐
-
59 minutes ago, aka Contrarian said: The issue is not about whether this generation is worse than the preceding ones or about finger pointing. That's all a waste of time.
Or perhaps these roving hordes of young folks will get scared straight, after a body count builds up at the hands of trigger happy cops...
Agreed. Coming up with a solution that keeps 1) young folks out of jail & alive especially if trigger happy cops show up & 2) parents from fines & jail time is more important.๐

3 hours ago, frankster said: The Truth is ....you are waiting on Officialdom to give their approval.
Some of The real evidence is sequestered away by those who hoard it for themselves...
Similar events have occurred already.....
A few days ago, a rocket ship blew up on the launch pad during testing. The blast was seen & heard for miles.
No need for evidence or proof or approval from Officialdom.๐

Dude is actually building a multimillion dollar BUNKER under the White house!
Does that sound like the behavior of someone who is getting ready to move in a couple of years, to you?
You don't build an addition to a place you're planning on leaving anytime soon....lol.Father Time is undefeated. POTUS OJ won't live forever. He's 1 of a kind. There's no successor or heir apparent to him.๐

11 hours ago, Pioneer1 said: 1. If AfroAmericans DID decide to take their case to court, which court (or legal body) would AfroAmericans plead their case TO?
AfroAmericans would have to use all existing platforms to make the case.
11 hours ago, Pioneer1 said: What court (or legal body) in this world has the power to gather and verify the facts concerning our treatment and render a verdict?
More importantly, who has the power to ENFORCE the verdict and any penalties and restitution that may accompany it?The system of racism white supremacy.
11 hours ago, Pioneer1 said: 2. Changing the condition of a person or people usually involve increasing their level of KNOWLEDGE in order to effectively bring about that change.
The only thing white folks understand is violence.
Unfortunately, AfroAmericans aren't wiling to kill or be killed in order to overthrow the system of racism white supremacy.
11 hours ago, Pioneer1 said: You ask when will our people "change" their condition.
Given what you have observed of our people, do you believe that our community COLLECTIVELY (not as individuals) has the intelligence to ascertain the knowledge needed to change our condition for the better?Knowledge & intelligence won't change the conditions AfroAmericans face under the system of racism white supremacy.
AfroAmericans have ticked every box & jumped through every hoop & overcome every obstacle white folks threw out to keep us down.
IOW, there are AfroAmericans tapped into every aspect of USA life. We have access to everything in the house. Yet, AfroAmericans are unwilling to burn it down.
Disheartening is telling a knowledgeable & intelligent AfroAmerican they are over-qualified for a position &/or not offering them a better opportunity. ๐

11 hours ago, Pioneer1 said: They are certainly illegal as well as accomplices to YOUR theft....lol.
However whether they're aliens or not depends on their citizenship status.
It's not my theft.๐คฃ
11 hours ago, Pioneer1 said: That's why I can't be too hard on adult AfroAmericans who are working these low wage and minimum wage jobs.
Many of them are taking what they can get to survive.
If they could find jobs with higher pay, they'd take them.
Most higher paying jobs require a certain amount of education.
11 hours ago, Pioneer1 said: And even THAT is tricky, because who is actually "average" and how do they decide who is average and who is not?
Bureau of Labor & Statistics keeps track of that data.
11 hours ago, Pioneer1 said: Do they factor expensive medical and legal issues into their "averages"?
Up to a certain extent.
11 hours ago, Pioneer1 said: Average people often make stupid and expensive mistakes, do they factor those in?
Adults are responsible for fixing their own mistakes.
11 hours ago, Pioneer1 said: A lot of average people are falling through the cracks because average from their perspective often looks like PERFECT from those in the working class
Regardless of how it looks, classes exist for a reason.๐
-
11 hours ago, Pioneer1 said: How many of you think the OVER ALL financial and social conditions in the United States....especially for AfroAmericans...are better today than they were in the 70s or 80s?
Of course I believe it's better.
11 hours ago, Pioneer1 said: Whether you say yes or no, please state your reasons..............
The AfroAmerican middle class has grown significantly over the past 40 years.
There are several metrics proving that AfroAmericans are doing better now than several decades ago.๐
-
11 hours ago, Pioneer1 said: The entire war is carrying on as usual, while both sides are accusing eachother of breaking the "cease fire"....lol.
As they are cavalier about it, real people are dying as result those missle strikes.
It's not a video game where every comes back alive with a reset button.๐
-
3 hours ago, frankster said: Some of the videos and files....that have been released - I have seen and read about for years
You are alive Now and the information is available......take thought.
There's no reason for me to start believing those videos & images.
They still haven't put out any real evidence or proof as far as I'm concerned.
In the meantime, I'll wait on the crash landing in a Wal-Mart parking lot on a busy day.๐๐
-
11 hours ago, Pioneer1 said: Lol....it just COULDN'T be their brains.
As I remind other old heads, every generation says the generation behind them is worse.
Young folks have always moved in mobs & packs & gangs to do dumb sh8t. It isn't new.
Social media just makes it easier for them to organize & also for everyone to upload videos reporting it.๐
-
15 hours ago, Pioneer1 said: However knowing the percentage will also provide evidence that there is more to poverty and lack of success in a community than simple lack of effort.
It may also be evidence of lack of opportunity or coordinated efforts to disenfranchise them.
You're building a case.AfroAmericans have decades worth of data & evidence to make the case for current circumstances, conditions & predicament.
Continuing with the analogy...
The question is when are AfroAmericans going to take action by 1) taking that case to court & 2) changing the conditions.
Analysis & studies work up to a point in building a case. Nothing changes without action & effort.๐

15 hours ago, Pioneer1 said: An alien simply means a person not from the land.
You're right. These racists are using illegal alien as a slur.
15 hours ago, Pioneer1 said: If that's the case, doesn't being in a country you're not from illegally make you an illegal alien or atleast an illegal migrant?
If you steal a house & fix it up & other folks show up as squatters...are they illegal aliens?๐คฃ
15 hours ago, Pioneer1 said: And that's an issue that the government and society itself should be addressing.
Why do we have ANY job that a person can't cover the basic necessities of life like food, clothing, shelter, and healthcare from a normal 40 hours of work?
They SHOULD pay more...so why don't they?
Greed & profits prevent paying livable wages.
15 hours ago, Pioneer1 said: While you're right that COLLECTIVELY AfroAmericans should be producing jobs for ourselves, as INDIVIDUALS most people period aren't qualified to actually go out and start their own successful business and work for themselves.
They must go out and find a job to get paid and support themselves.
They should have the right to do so.
Individuals don't have the power to dictate that they get a livable wage.
Unions even have a hard time getting pay increases.
15 hours ago, Pioneer1 said: Not only have they outsourced many of the jobs but now they're been importing cheap labor in the form of illegal immigrants and intentionally preventing them from having any legal or political power by not making them actual citizens.
They've started a literal "peasant class" in this nation.
Feudalism never really went away.๐
15 hours ago, Pioneer1 said: It goes back to our government and them allowing it to happen.
The same politicians who allow jobs that pay BELOW minimum wage in places like the service sector and agricultural industry are the same politicians who are fighting openly and behind closed doors to bring illegal in by the millions to displace American workers.The government tries to create rules & safeguards to make life bearable for citizens.
Ultimately, politicians end up working within the interests of those who control wealth.
The labor market is controlled in such a way to enrich the wealthy while providing the average person with just enough to survive.๐

3 hours ago, richardmurray said: but while modernity, 2026 can argue the usa is better, in the 1800s, the usa wasn't better for black people than any other country.
How would enslaved Black folks born in the USA during the 1800s have known any different or better?
During the 1800s, I doubt that enslaved Black folks were receiving postcards & letters from free Black folks letting them know life was better in other countries. ๐
As I mentioned in another thread, despite its warts, the USA must not be that bad considering it seems to an immigration destination for people from all over the planet.๐

10 hours ago, aka Contrarian said: The latest action taken emanates from the States attorney office, where threats are being made to serve negligent parents of cited offenders, with a fine of $5,000 or up to one year sentence in jail...
While a curfew may be harder to enforce, threaten a Black parents pockets & freedom & maybe they will put clamps on allowing their children to roam aroumd causing chaos & mayhem.๐
Social media is definitely to blame for stirring young folks up to act foolish.๐

As @aka Contrarian mentioned in another thread, fhe great Jazz saxophonist, Sonny Rollins has joined the celestial orchestra.
Sonny Rollins was the last living musician in this 1958 picture A Great Day in Harlem:

His legacy as a musician is cemented. Thanks for the music. RIP Mr. Sonny Rollins.๐

The USA has not put any boots on the ground in Iran. Whole war has been aerial. So, the chance of a draft are zero.
Trump just sent nearly 10,000 troops over to the region a few weeks ago.
You don't mobilize that many troops to a spot for nothing.
All of the energy and manpower isn't going to go to waste.
They're just setting things up for a much bigger operation.
Most military strategists can readily see this.
Sure. The military plays war games. It's nothing to mobilize troops & send them to different places & sit around. They're getting paid regardless. ๐
At least once a week, POTUS OJ threatens the USA could go back into the conflict. He doesn't mention ground troops though. His pump fake has become hot air.๐

1 hour ago, Pioneer1 said: 1. What PERCENTAGE of AfroAmericans have and are doing well for themselves vs those who are falling through the cracks, are they are minority or majority?
IMO, percentage doesn't matter because it will only be used to discourage &/or as an excuse not to do better.
1 hour ago, Pioneer1 said: 2. How many of those who HAVE done well for themselves use that wealth to establish more power for AfroAmericans in their community and society in general to maintain that prosperity?
Again, statistics won't lead to action & productivity.
1 hour ago, Pioneer1 said: AfroAmericans can definitely do this on a smaller scale with barbershops and Soul food restaurants....if the desire was there.
AfroAmericans have done it all from slavery to sharecropping to factory work & low wage jobs to running businesses of various sizes.
AfroAmericans have not a great job of investing their cumulative wealth in building institutions & heirlooms that provide opportunities to the next generation.
IOW, every generation of AfroAmericans has to start from the bottom & work their way up. Usually that means working within the system of racism white supremacy.๐

I'm a bit surprised at your view on the term.
Given your strong FBA identification and stance, I actually presumed that you felt the same way I did about the issue...lol.
Sure. I'm extremely pro-Black.
However, I don't think it's right to call another human being an illegal alien.
Even more insulting when used by the same people who stole this country from the Native Americans.
15 minutes ago, Pioneer1 said: Calling a foreigner who came to the United State illegally an "illegal alien" should be considered no more derogatory than calling a man who forces women into sexual encounters a "rapist".
Wait a d8mn minute...what we have here is a false equivalence.๐คฃ
Forcing someone into a s8xual encounter does make the perpetrator a rapist.
15 minutes ago, Pioneer1 said: Calling someone who is here illegally an "illegal" is a statement of fact.
Whichethnicity comes to mind when you hear the term illegal alien?
15 minutes ago, Pioneer1 said: 1. A lot of low wage jobs have traditionally been used as entry level jobs...
Right. Low wage jobs aren't meant to be careers. It should be a stepping stone whether summer employment or part-time to finish school. Not to build a life &/or raise a family.
A man over 30-years-old who isn't a homeowner or who owns a landscaping company has no business pushing a lawnmower for a living.๐
15 minutes ago, Pioneer1 said: 2. A low wage job is better than NO JOB at all.
A low wage job is no good for an adult if it doesn't cover shelter, food, clothing & health insurance, etc.
15 minutes ago, Pioneer1 said: 3. Low wage jobs often lead to HIGH WAGE jobs.
It takes a very long time for a low wage job to lead to high wage opportunities.
15 minutes ago, Pioneer1 said: It's hard to avoid when the MAJORITY of work places in the region are like this or going in that direction.
The failure lies in AfroAmericans depending on someone else for a job instead of creating them.
15 minutes ago, Pioneer1 said: Keep in mind that everybody....not even the majority of people....will graduate from college with a degree.
Especially with one that offers a great paying field of work.
A college degree is not required to build a successful business. Just ask someone with a CDL Commercial Driver's License).๐
15 minutes ago, Pioneer1 said: I grew up in a working class neighborhood where the majority of adults worked in factories and did manual labor but their jobs paid well enough for them to buy homes, buy new cars, and take care of entire families AND "outside women"...lol.
Most factory jobs have been out-sourced to other countries where labor is cheaper &/or replaced by automation.
15 minutes ago, Pioneer1 said: I don't believe most Black youth would mind doing that type of work IF it paid $30 or $40 an hour today which would be the equivalent of what those jobs were paying in the 70s and 80s.
As AI is coming down the pike, white folks are encouraging their young people to learn trades.
There will always be money to be made in knowing how to build & fix things with one's own hands. Not by pushing a broom or mop.
15 minutes ago, Pioneer1 said: No, but they are doing them.
Especially the poor and uneducated one.
White privilege is very real. Makes sense considering that being in control of the gamethey have tilted the playing field. They take care of their own.๐
-
56 minutes ago, Pioneer1 said: I use the term myself from time to time.
I don't think it's offensive, it's just a fact.That makes you guilty of using a derogatory phrase invented by white racists.๐
56 minutes ago, Pioneer1 said: But what I think IS happening...and I don't think AfroAmericans should allow it to happen....is that the racists in the U.S. are trying to slowly replace AfroAmericans with a more compliant and docile cheap labor source which for the most part will be Latinos.
Why should AfroAmericans fight for low wage jobs?๐ค
56 minutes ago, Pioneer1 said: I've seen this at various jobs, where they basically give Latino workers...most of whom ARE illegal....more privileges and treat them with more respect than the AfroAmerican employees.
Right. AfroAmericans should not be working in such a place.
56 minutes ago, Pioneer1 said: Unfortunately because so many young AfroAmericans DON'T want to work on these manual labor jobs anymore.....not only aren't they NOT outraged about what's happening and the plans to replace them....but they don't even care.
For several decades now, AfroAmericans have been educated to seek better employment opportunities.
56 minutes ago, Pioneer1 said: Which seemingly proves the point OF the racists....that the "niggers are lazy and don't want to work anyway".
It only proves that AfroAmericans don't want to work for them.
White folks aren't beating down doors for manual labor jobs either.๐

Capitalism isn't bad. The tilted playing field is a major obstacle for certain groups of people.
AfroAmericans have had plenty of opportunities...on a smaller scale...to tilt the playing fields in OUR favor but many of us have neglected to do it for ignorant or selfish reasons.
Many AfroAmericans have done well for themselves given certain opportunities.
Tilting the playing field requires more than providing labor i.e. working for someone else.
Real capitalism is building & producing wealth generating institutions. Am*zon is modern example of it.๐
Democratic National Committee (DNC) 2024 Post-Election Report
in Culture, Race & Economy
Remains to be seen if a torch bearer for POTUS OJ comes along.
It's definitely not Vice POTUS JD Vance or Secretary of State Marco Rubio. They don't have the it factor to carry the MAGA base.
A real Black man or woman won't occupy the Oval Office until the USA is totally FUBAR (f8cked up beyond all repair).๐คฃ
Appreciate the recognition.๐
But, I'm not alone in believing there will be a 2028 election.๐
