There's nothing honorable about leading a prison gang. Many people in society look at prisoners and ex-cons as losers. Most people know a loser when they see them. Again, according to how that individual or group defines a loser. Right. Men are ultimately responsible for being providers and protectors. If a man cannot fulfill his role as the apex human being, he may be considered a loser. A woman strung out on drugs and/or unable to take care of her children will be considered a loser. Society has its way of picking winners and losers.

Reads like states are being asked not to issue any benefits. It would be impossible to reclaim spent funds. They clearly want people to feel the pain of not being able to buy groceries. I'm slightly curious to see how much the system can bend before all h8ll breaks loose.

@aka Contrarian, congrats to Da Bears on another win.

Loser as a societal term has been around long before the internet and social media. Amercians are clearly aware of what it means to be a loser. if someone doesn't appear to be doing too much of anything with their life, they may be considered a loser. However, regardless of what anyone else thinks, as long as the individual believes they are doing their thing in life and taking care of themselves without depending on others, they're not a loser.

Loser has become a derogatory term to demean someone who doesn't amount to much in the eyes of the person using the word. For example, someone could feel that anyone with a net worth of less than $1 million dollars is a loser. Of course, that doesn't make it true. There's no shortage of real losers running around. Otherwise, the term is used as an insult.

Sure. Black men are a viable alternative. It goes the other way too. Black women are looking at non-Black men. I just don't believe our mere presence in the vicinity keeps non-Black men in check when it comes to women of their race or culture. Both women and men choose to go outside their race/culture for any reason(s) or none at all. No different from buying an exotic pet.

Slow down bro. Most women are raised in a culture where they accept being 2nd to men. The main reason a non-Black woman leaves an abusive man and runs into the arms of another man is for security and protection. S8x is not a woman's highest priority. Survival which includes security and protection comes first. There's a reason white women don't say too much against white men and vote the way they do as well.

Da Bears should beat the Giants especially since it's a home game.

Kudos to the women who walked out. I wonder how many stuck around because they didn't see or hear anything wrong. i didn't hear racism in what dude said. I heard his cultural upbringing come out. As an Asian man, he talked to her the way they do to their own women. He only apologized due to embarrassment. He lost his job because the incident was publicized. Clearly, that wasn't his 1st time berating a woman. In western society, I believe women are respected to a slightly hugher degree than within other cultures. Black women and every other group in the US has a right and voice to stand up for themselves. It's not like those countries where they get killed for speaking up or too loudly.

The war on masculinity has been ongoing for decades now. Our society has accepted effeminate behavior especially where Black males are concerned. However, Black boys and young men are not the only males vulnerable to effeminization. Too many males are being raised in single-parent households primarily with their mothers. It is not a good thing allowing males to be isolated and playing video games instead of going outside. They should be playing sports and doing other outdoors activities that build competition, strength, endurance and leadership skills. White men recognize the claims of toxic masculinity and they are trying to rewrite the narrative. The posture and moves POTUS OJ is making are indicative of an effort to reinforce white patriarchy through masculinity. By default, as white men become hyper-masculine, Black men will have to get right too. @Pioneer1..funny part of the video... Sam Jackson character said "y'all niggas and gon be niggas forever. " He's looking like an old pimp.

Poor decisions and mental health issues notwithstanding, there is still no good reason in this country for people especially childen, women and senior citizens to be in a net negative position. Elon Musk is en route to becoming the world's 1st trillionaire. He hasn't done anything for the greater good of humanity that warrants having enough wealth to take care of several countries. Right now, the US gov't is holding hostage SNAP benefits which amount to $9 billion dollars per month. That's a drop in the bucket for the country to spend. It impacts 42 million people.

Right. I know the mayor of NYC cannot so anything about those benefits. I was referring to a parallel solution. Of course, those who have to do anything extra and/or lose money might be resistant. Black folks are well aware of how the country was built. We also know who holds the money and power too.

Great idea. Businesses can either scale products to be more affordable and/or EBT/SNAP benefits can be increased to more adequately cover costs of products and goods. There is no good reason for the wealthiest country on the planet for any of its citizens to be poor, hungry or homeless. Especially when it comes to women, children and senior citizens. Human greed and the willingness to let a relative few people control wealth is the only reason billions of people have to struggle and suffer.

The question is how important is the information if Black folks have made it this far BS included. Reminds of a comment the CEO of OpenAI recently made that if AI can do the same job as a human, the job must not have been that important anyway. Calculated risks are taken all the time in every aspect of our lives. Right now, they are not overly worried about air traffic controllers walking off the job as a result of not getting paid and letting planes crash or fall out of the sky.

Whenever notable Black Russians are mentioned, it is always the same two people...Abram Gannibal (military leader) and Alexander Pushkin (poet). Abram Gannibal was born to an African prince. Gannibal was stolen and eventually presented as a gift to Peter the Great. Peter the Great became Gannibal's godfather and raised him in Russian nobility. Gannibal was afforded a good life as a result. Through Gannibal's offspring who became Russian nobility to varying degrees, Alexander Pushkin is his great-grandson. Pushkin is recognized as Russia's greatest poet. Otherwise, Black Russian achievement stops almost 200 years ago. No shade but there no significant amount of accomplishment or wealth among the 50,000 or so Black Russians. They are just there.

Left Eye doesn't carry the same mystique.

I don't think she can make it to the film shoot.

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/nancy-pelosi-first-woman-serve-us-house-speaker-retire-congress-2025-11-06/ Finally, after decades of holding up a California Congressional seat, Rep. Nancy Pelosi has decided it's time to retire. She's 85 years old. Before anyone goes feeling sorry for Rep. Pelosi and/or believing she needs a job to feed her family, keep in mind that she has a net worth of $120 million dollars. Nevermind that a public servant shouldn't be allowed to make that much on the job. Rep. Pelosi and her husband are very well off. Hopefully, Rep. Jim Clyburn, the sharecropper from South Carolina, will follow suit and retire soon as well. Of course, Rep. Clyburn's net worth of $200,000 dollars is about 0.167% of his buddy Rep. Pelosi. Rep. Clyburn at 85 years old will either stay in Congress until he pulls a Ruth Bader Ginsberg or supplement his pension by selling fish dinners at a VFW in South Carolina. These two people are shining examples of why there should be term limits in Congress.

Back in the 1960s, as a middle finger to the the United States, the former USSR (Soviet Union) allowed Africans to study there. That's how Black folks ended up in that country. Celebrity Black folks are relatively *welcomed* in Russia. *Entertainers* get a pass around the world. American boxer Roy Jones Jr. enjoys visiting Russia. Of course, American basketball player Brittney Griner was locked up there. However, as someone mentioned in the video, 1) Black Russians still have a hard time calling it *home* and 2) white Russians see them differently. Unless the USA, Black folks know their *place* in a country like Russia. No confusion. Don't get all dewy-eyed thinking about relocating there.

Just because an artist smokes weed doesn't mean they *need* it to be inspired or creative. Snoop Dogg smokes like a chimney but the chronic or skunk or loud isn't responsible for his lyrical genius either.

Surely, doctors and the pharmaceutical industry have been producing drugs to unlock brains for a long time. However, when it comes to creativity, I don't believe drugs are responsible for Rakim, Jay-Z, Nas, Kendrick Lamar, Common, Black Thought, Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, Bahamadia, etc., and plenty other Black gifted lyricists. For a long time now, there are Black folks who are are extremely gifted and talented when it comes to writing lyrics and composing music among other things.

D8mn...killed by hornets while zip-lining. That definitely ties into 1,000 faces of death.

Yield not to temptation. Don't wanna get set up and knocked over: Especially considering your affinity for having access to those exotic pets, er, women.

The comedy would be watching him going through all types of sh8t to stay out of trouble and keep the house. Script approved....call up Ice Cube, Katt Williams, Chris Tucker, Mike Epps, Tracy Morgan and Corey Holcomb.

Person has enough sense and ability to become a homeowner i.e. buy a property but so crazy that they should not have any weapons. I see a movie script there.
