All true. POTUS Obama couldn't do anything specifically for AfroAmericans because 1) Black folks had no agenda and 2) the gov't would not have allowed him to do anything for us.

Rep. Gaetz was accused of having s8x with underage girls and using drugs. The media mentioned Gaetz issues and quickly moved on but he's still on Capitol Hill. Great question. Most of them have already shown what they're willing to do. Pay lip service. Collect money. Basically nothing.

That's accurate. I've been sitting into his easy chair for exactly 2 years this month. It's been a blast chopping it up with you all.

According to The Egg, our spirits are supposed to go through the times and spaces in which we exist until that point of accumulating enough knowledge and experience to become a God. Needless to type, I won't sink into my easy chair and throw my hands up in surrender to the status quo. In my present human form, I'll continue calling BS on a system of racism white supremacy that seeks to maintain power and control over other people through subjugation, exploitation and murder. Black folks have to accept that we're the real Gods of the universe and act accordingly. Otherwise, I cannot explain why for thousands of years and counting, the recessive part of humanity has been allowed to wreak chaos and mayhem on the planet.

I think the video is a good illustration of my belief that humans should take better care of each other in the space we exist. My comedic takeaway from the video is that humans are aliens who time travel and take on different hosts. Interestingly, while the spirit form could exist anywhere throughout the universe, the earth seems to be the only place it can take on a physical being. Cool video. it won't but could turn religion upside down.

Rep. Matt Gaetz was instrumental in getting Rep. Kevin McCarthy booted as House Speaker. While Rep. Gaetz has more baggage than an airport, he could possibly run for Governor of Florida in 2026. Amazing that the state of Florida could be run by consecutive clowns. DeStupid should be an easy act to follow. Good thing oranges are the major export of Florida. Disney is the major attraction. It's the biggest retirement community in the US too. Yhe US doesn't rely on Florida for too much of anything. Another clown governor wouldn't break the state.

The *illegal* immigrants are being boarded on buses and sent to cities like Washington DC, New York City and Chicago. Nobody seems to be asking the real questions: 1) Why are the migrants being sent to these particular US cities instead of deported 2) Why aren't migrants being sent to states like Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana and the Dakotas 3) Who is paying the bill for the migrants food, clothing and shelter First, if US truly wanted to secure the border, there is no shortage of resources i.e. manpower, technology and building materials. More importantly, immigration is a political football that shows both parties are two sides of the same coin. Democrats and Republicans are complicit in maintaining the system of racism white supremacy. The number of people crossing the border *illegally* is irrelevant. The fact that migrants are able to walk into the US without being deported regardless of the party in power is proof that both parties are in agreement with letting it happen. The border wall is a shame and a ruse. Nothing more than a distraction. Meanwhile, border patrol agents are cutting razor wire in order for migrants to pass through safely. The Governors of Florida and Texas are chartering buses to take migrants on all expense paid vacations to cities with a huge Black population. White folks know their numbers are shrinking. They cannot reproduce fast enough to remain a majority of the population. As a result, *illegal* immigrants are being allowed into the US to offset the Black population. Immigrants do not carry the historical baggage as AfroAmericans. The immigrants are not a by-product of and/or a reminder of America's greatest sin....slavery. Erasing Black history from the books and distorting the population is part of white folks' plan to deal with their AfroAmerican problem and maintain power.

Easy. There's a lot of money and no shortage of tech-savvy companies within the GOP.

Folks are already campaigning heavy for 2024. The GOP operatives and bots are trying to keep the Democrats from using former POTUS Obama to mobilize the Black vote. Nevermind that neither party offers anything tangible to Black folks.

White media was more than enthusiastic to put her business out there too. Other than Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg being heavy in the LBGTQ+ community...the white media is reluctant to broadcast white folks from that community. However, as soon as an AfroAmerican is a member of the alphabet soup community, they're put on blast. Anything anti-Black which includes promoting the alphabet soup community and allowing *illegal* immigration is another tool of racism white supremacy.

The movie was considered a commercial flop when it was released. Definitely not made for TV. YouTube is the main reason we have access to it now. In 2019, a totally different movie entitled The Intruder was made starring Michael Ealy, Meagan Good and Dennis Quaid.

Yep. White folks have been repackaging Black music in their own image and likeness for at least 100 years starting with Jazz. They took Blues (Rock & Roll) and Gospel (Country music) and R&B (Pop) to name a few. White folks have even proclaimed Eminem to be the best rapper in Hip-Hop. Saddest part is when n8gglets cosign whatever white folks do. Even worse is black folks begging them for record deals to make music. Insult to injury is white folks determining which Black music can be sold. Black folks' failure to codify anything is the reason we don't own and control our intellectual property.

California Governor Gavin Newsome has selected Democrat Laphonza Butler to temporarily fill Senator Diane Feinstein's former seat: https://www.politico.com/news/2023/10/01/newsom-senate-pick-butler-00119360 Laphonza Butler will be the 1st Black LBGTQ+ US senator. She's the 3rd Black female senator in US History.

Of course, the whole reparations thing in Cali is a joke. The saddest part is that there are Black folks indulging in it. Black leadership out there in Cali should be shutting that sh8t down and pushing to make it a federal case. The issue of reparations is just one example of how AfroAmericans are off code.

That's because Conservatives aren't really interested in hearing anything intellectual from Black folks. They just them to validate their racism.

Ice Cube is definitely an intelligent dude. He's always been about his business too i.e. hustle. In fact, it was Ice Cube who 1st peeped that Jerry Heller was a snake and robbing NWA blind. Ice Cube bounced from the group. It took everyone else a minute to get the memo. Kanye would be best served to just go back into the studio working on music; laying low and keeping his mouth shut.

They say most folks have a price at which they can be bought. MC Ren and DJ Yella never made it beyond NWA. I wonder if it's because they didn't sellout.

This just goes to show Black folks have no code whatsoever. Kanye should not have put Ice Cube out there. At the same time, Ice Cube and those dudes shouldn't be on camera talking about it either. Black folks shouldn't air their dirty laundry or grievances in public. No other group of people sells their differences and dysfunction on air for entertainment.

@Pioneer1, maybe guilt ate him up but 30 years is a long time. Maybe he's sick and wants the state to take care of him. It's interesting that he was never killed despite knowing what happened in Vegas.

Jesse Lee Peterson is straight hustling as a bootlick and shill. Same goes for Candace Owens. She's a journalistic prostitute. I find it amusing that white folks will use Thomas Sowell for his anti-Black rhetoric but they never consult with him about economics which is supposed to be his expertise.

I forgot to mention Larry Elders. He's still alive and eligible for adoption.

Sure. There have been a few conscience artists who've had success. Some messages do sell. As you mentioned, religion is a great example of it. Popular music has never been about selling messages. It's all about entertainment. Folks who want to get paid follow suit. Messages may "outweigh music and entertainment in the long run" but it will be hard to find positive messages in popular music. That's not what they're selling.

@Pioneer1, white folks are actually the biggest consumers of Hip-Hop music. If rappers are giving out marching orders, white folks aren't falling in line. Dysfunctional human beings are products of their environment. They don't need music and movies to set them off

Suspect didn't do any favors for himself by running his mouth. Almost like he asked to be arrested.

@Pioneer1, the thread is about music. Messages in music have always been a harder sell. There's never been a shortage of deep music. But, it won't be found on the Billboard chart. Again, from an entertainment perspective, most people like the McDonalds equivalent of music...nice beat and catchy lyrics. If someone was to put a Farrakhan speech over a strong beat, nigglets eyes would glaze over and they would find something else to listen to and/or do. As an aside, the 1st Million Man March message was 28 years ago. Almost 3 decades ago, most of the brothas who were at the March have probably forgotten the message. From a musician's perspective, I wish that Black music contained more positive messages and instructions for getting our people on code.
