Tether refers to the non-FBAs here who talk sh8t about us and/or think they are better and have accepted snd bought into the system. Sure. The New Black Media should: 1) report and call out anti-Black issues 2) promote positive FBA endeavors and achievements 3) keep pushing for reparations 4) provide actionable solutions to fight the system of racism white supremacy As long as the New Black Media maintans the watch and keeps FBAs informed they are providing a service to the community. The Jews have organizations that call out antisemitism wherever it pops up. They are prepared to ruin perpetrators. We saw how much money Kanye West lost for running his mouth. FBAs need a similar voice when it comes to anti-Black sentiment, crimes and policies. New Black Media is the closest thing.😎

Brotha Rizza Islam brings his receipts to the chop session.😁 I understand the food products he was referring to in the video. Especially between chemicals in produce and testing engineered food in other countries. I still contend that restaurants and food establishments here in the USA cannot use meat substitutes without disclosing it. Unless FDA is in on the trickery.😎

Racism is a learned behavior. Put a bunch of 5-year-olds on a playground of all races. They will run around and play with each other. Bring those same kids together 5 years later and watch how they act towards each other. Some of them might be a little different. 20 years later they're in their camps.😁😎

That would be hilarious to find out a giant rodent is running the most powerful country on the planet.🤣 I've heard something similar. Would be a travest to the American people if the Food & Drug Administration is allowing GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms) and other meat substitutes. However, it would be consistent with capitalism and greed. Sell the cheapest product for the most money. People get sick and die on schedule. The rich get richer.😎

They take care of their own people. Syrians and other refugees should've stayed at home. Makes no sense running to another country and still be impoverished. That may be a sign of low intelligence.🤣 America protects them because many white folks here can trace their bloodlines back to those places. Also, those countries are strategic allies. They have something to offer the US.😎

No surprise. Lowest possible charge. Lesser penalty. Qualified immunity from law.😎

Scandinavian countries are not run by greed. No poverty. Same difference allowing folks to die and replacing them with more cheap labor. The rich get richer. 😎

POTUS OJ eats McDonald's a lot. Let's see if it works.🤣 I believe most of McDonald's meat product is ground beef and chicken. Maybe their breakfast menu has pork. Not sure since I don't eat it. 😎

That was the intent. Yet, there's no shortage of folks who grew up watching Sesame Street and they're full-blown racists as adults. 😎

Of course not. Non-corrupted, uncompromised Black folks would be majority stakeholders in ownership. A Black-owned platform can be policed just like the existing. The Black folks I'm referring to buying a paltform aren't average people. Wealthy Black folks could invest in it.😎

https://www.cnn.com/2025/08/20/food/mcdonalds-combo-lower-prices Admittedly, I have not eaten McDonald's food in about 25 years or longer. As a result, I had no idea that McDonald's value meals had soared to $10 dollars or more. In an effort to make offerings more affordable, McD's will be lowering the price of some value meals. While it won't inspire me to start eating there, I think it's a great move especially for people and families who don't have much money. McDonald's was the one place $5 could buy a meal. Anyone should still be able to get that without having to buy the equivalent of a Happy Meal.😎

There is a difference between cultural chastity and a man controlling a woman through jealousy and insecurity. Being a jealous and insecure man will not keep other men away from his wife and family. The fear of what a man will do if tested will keep others away. Again, rather than be emotional, a man is better off letting that woman go especially if she sends choosing signals to other men. Some women will be flattered by jealousy and insecurity right up until that man becomes aggressive and/or physical about it. All fun and games until somebody gets hurt. I know dudes who are either stretched out in the penitentiary or graveyard as a result of their jealousy and/or insecurity. If the woman was not unalived by the ex-dude, guess what's she's doing with her snatchbox...sharing it with a free and alive dude.🤣😎

Sesame Street has been around for half-century. Time flies. Unless they were not allowed to watch it, like the ignorant folks in Mississippi who protested the show, a whole bunch of children still grew up to be racists as adults. 😁 The initial investment of $8 million dollars back in the 1960s adjusted for inflation is the equivalent of $71 million dollars today. Those two white folks who brainstormed a children's TV program got a huge bag of money.😎

The problem is capitalism feeds human greed in such a way that only a small percentage of people get to enjoy a vast amount of wealth. Apparently, for thousands of years, the wise people have not been able to appeal to the greedy people. The greedy people enrich themselves by keeping the population just healthy enough to trade their labor for wages. Generating trillions of dollars more would mean greedy people have to share the wealth and they wouldn't have anyone to look down upon if there's no lower class people.😎

The USA does very little to decrease the demand for drugs. Follow the money. Yet, the same country will criminalize and punish the low-level folks who traffic drugs. Follow the money. Right now, in another show of force, the US is blowing up fishing boats in international waters near Venezuela under the guise of narco-terrorrism. Approximately 80 people have been unalived as result of military strikes on their boats. Let's be clear...the majority of fentanyl and cocaine coming into the USA isn't being trafficked on those small azz fishing boats. Most of the drugs pouring into the USA come from Colombia and Mexico by evey means of transportation...land, sea and air. With money involved, best believe a whole lot of white folks are getting rich from the proceeds of drugs. The US economy benefits significantly from everything associated with selling drugs and its usage from consumerism (cars, houses, clothes, vacation, entertainment, etc.) to medical, legal, judicial and law enforcement. Just as there is no money in curing diseases and ailments, the same goes for eliminating the demand for drugs. Follow the money. Both the legal drug dealers (pharmaceutical industry) and illegal drug dealers are allowed to thrive at the expense of people being sick, debilitated and/or addicted. A long time ago, it was realized that because they are going to die anyway, humans are expendable. Therefore, it makes most sense to profit from their existence. Human pain and/or suffering is finite due to mortality. However, the money that can be made while folks are living can be recirculated many times over and build wealth. There's no money in cures. Problems are big business especially in a capitalistic society and system thriving on it. Follow the money. 😎

I remember Tavis Smiley catching that alphabet label until ladies filed those lawsuits.😁😎

Bravery and courage are not synonymous with jealousy and insecurity either. Right. Jealousy and insecurity are not actions. May be motivation. Still, one has to be equipped to do something in order to obtain or acquire. Iron sharpens iron. In the absence of procreation, is a jealous or insecure man protecting or guarding a woman's womb or merely keeping other men away from her? Right. Let that person go if they can do and/or find better. Plenty remaining. This thread was started as should a man be jealous and insecure I believe primarily as it relates to women. They may seem to be flattered by it but the emotions of Jealousy and insecurity are really a turnoff to most women.😎

I've heard those claims. Plausible considering nobody really knows how some folks are being funded. Right. There's no shortage of shills and tethers among us. Beyond delineating from them, what else should we be doing. Thought process is we should already know neither POTUS OJ nor Republicans gives a sh8t about Black folks. Therefore, we know what to expect from them. Again, I'm perfectly fine with Black folks not caping for either party. I never hear them suggest an alternative party or candidate or movement to start one. I think it's important to call out racism white supremacy at every turn. The New Black Media does it. Instead of merely pointing out white racists and supremacists, we need a plan. NF Jr. said we need to replace that system. IMO, the New Black Media has a huge opportunity to build a movement. Just a matter of coming up with agenda and putting action behind it.😎

Pursuing the right* education provides knowledge in a field of study that pays very well...science, math, engineering, medicine, computers, trades, etc. Most folks can obtain at least one degree or a trade before they reach 25 years old. They're on the path to a high paying job. Some level of wisdom can be attained by 35. No excuses for someone 50 years or older. 😁 Keep in mind that what you see and/or read about doesn't paint the whole picture when it comes to classy women here in the US.😎

The US has never invaded a sovereign nation without provocation and Congressional approval.😎

VGQ....you're free to close the case according to your understanding at any time.😁 Glad I live in an environment where Black folks are 1st class.😎

I totally support the awareness and perspective New Black Media bring. My concern is they aren't providing actionable solutions to problems. They encouraged Black folks not to vote for Democrats. Cool. Who should Black folks vote? What demands are we making? What expectations should we have of these people? How much money are we putting behind candidates and/or another party? Having a platform is great. They like to quote or cite our master teachers. Neely Fuller Jr. always said communication should be constructive. Questions and answers for solving problems. Black folks know the problems. We don't seem to have an action plan for solving them. Just yapping and grifting.😎

Not a mind reader but gotcha bro. 😁 I'm waiting to see how that Venezuela situation plays out. A US military ground invasion would completely jump the shark. It would criminal.😎

You're right in that context is everything. Despite the circumstances, I grew up in an environment where Black folks were encouraged to be successful. We were never told to strive for 2nd class. My upbringing and the life I've built afford me a certain perspective. I cannot relate to Black folks having to accept less. IMO, our people are way too gifted, talented and intelligent to settle for less than 1st class.😎

By the time a human reaches 25 years old, they should have enough knowledge to pursue independence. By the time a human reaches 50 years old, they should have some level of wisdom. In the 1st sentence the question is asked what percentage. 2nd sentence reads like you already have the data. Well, fewer women are taking debutante classes nowadays.🤣😎
