I do not believe humans have an entity of consciousness beyond their physical body.

As mentioned in another thread, protests dramatize grievances. If people do not raise their voices, the status quo remains unchanged. Protests have led to change. These indictments are not being protested directly. Clearly lawfare and a sign of fascistic tendency. POTUS OJ claimed he wasn't goimg on a revenge and retribution campaign. Here we are with Comey, James and Bolton indictments.

De Bears are gritty. Winnable games on the schedule.

Only about 35% of eligible voters in America actuallly vote. POTUS OJ did win the popular vote in the election. About 74 million people combined. However, there are still 70+ million people who did not vote for him. That's a lot of potential protesters As mentioned above, only a percentage of eligible voters participate in the process. A majority of the white population did not elect him. Obviously, enough people voted him back into the White House.

Sure. If the golden rule cannot be applied, it's best to leave those people alone.

People are protesting the US heading towards fascism. POTUS OJ has been making decisions without Congressional approval since January 2025. National guard being deployed in major cities. Blowing up boats off the coast of Venezuela. Using lawfare to go after opponents. The people are letting their voices be heard that the US doesn't want or need a king.

Where in the US can Black folks make their own laws. They have their own land. Again, where are these places in the US? Intelligence and knowledge won't overcome fear of death. A genius doesn't spend much time around an intellectually challenged person. White folks have committed enough violence to keep the most intelligent Black foks in fear. Like Shalamar this could be the 2nd time around.

There's no shortage of individually successful Black people and communities filled with them. That's why there are so many tribes. Black unity is a key to success and nation-building. However, fragmented tribes make it impossible. Those questions are exactly why Black folks have adapted to the system of racism white supremacy. Those things are not hard to obtain. Black folks don't want to live under a ruler. Ask white people if they feel imprisoned. You know the rest.

Do unto others is a moral principle about treating people with kindness, respect and love.

Through greed and power, white folks will start conflicts and wars; fight and die in order to conquer other people. Many of those Africans did not have a choice in whether or not they got on the ships. Thousands of African chose the ocean as their final destination instead of being enslaved. Once they realized the program was slavery, surely many of them took their own lives in one way or another too. The natural instinct of a human is to survive regardless of condition or circumstances. Fight or flight is part of that calculus.

Absolutely not. It's unfortunate. Especially from a health perspective. I don't have any particular favorite videos. It is the entirety of his messages that provide food for thought. Kevin Samuels encouraged men and women to manage their expectations and up their game if they wanted better.

Right. That's why I wrote most of it takes very little effort. Acquiring knowledge and knowing how to communicate can be learned. Brotha Kevin Samuels left us too soon.

POTUS OJ just commuted the 7-year prison sentence of convicted, pathological liar and thief, former Congressman George Santos. https://www.npr.org/2025/10/17/nx-s1-5578304/trump-george-santos-prison-sentence-commuted There could be a commutation for Diddy at some point in the future.

https://www.npr.org/2025/10/17/nx-s1-5576461/no-kings-protests-trump Tomorrow there are projectedto be 2,700 No Kings Protests across the US. Policies of the current administration are being protested. Of course, POTUS OJ himself is being reminded the US doesn't have a king. Never to be out done, the Republicans are calling it the Hate America Rallies. Possibly trying to stir up counter-protests. The organizers of the No Kings protests are committed to peaceful gatherings. Hopefully it will remain that way without any issues.

There have been individuals who made it. That has done nothing for nation-building and replacing the system of racism white supremacy. That whole situation is dysfunctional. Prisoners are not the model of unity. Middle Easterners have been fighting for hundreds of years for one reason or another. Violence is ongoing until there is victory or surrender or death. Fear of death. Pets are animals. Slaves were human beings. Big difference. There's no shortage of highly intelligent Black folks who are afraid to die. It isn't brain power that is going into thousands of people being killed in ongong wars. Black people were the 1st civilization. We already know how to work the land and survive. That's fear. They were already doing the work. Freedom is about getting rid of any forms ot oppression. Plenty Black people all over the planet have been taking care of themselves just fine for centuries without white oppression. It is unfortunate to think or believe AfroAmericans cannot survive without being underneath white folks.

Sure. They don't see themselves as gold diggers. Women don't chase the way men do. There's definitely no shortage of women putting themselves in the path of those dudes. Semantics. Money attracts and makes people tolerate i.e. put up with whatever comes with it. That's not a list of perfection. Most of it takes very little effort. If a dude is too lazy to meet those 10 requirements, that's part of his *problem* getting women. Cool. Just don't tell impressionable people they can become millionaires selling themselves. Men look at prostitutes, escorts and strippers only in a s8xual manner. They certainly aren't looking at them as future wives. Black men will turn their heads around like an owl to look at a nicely shaped woman. Some dudes will grab and squeeze their nuts and put a fist up to their mouth and exclaim...gotd8mn, I'd like to get up in that piece. Women looked at that D'Angelo video in a s8xual manner too. They look at Nick Cannon, Chris Brown, 50 Cent and other celebrities the same way. Plenty of men and women objectify others. They only get together for s8x. No dinners or dates or Netflix nights. Right. They want to be seen in a s8xual manner but not disrespected i.e. unwanted touching nor treated like a prostitute. People know the difference between genuine attraction and lust; respect and objectification.

It will attract enough. That's why women who know absolutely nothing about sports will show up at sporting events in their best outfits. Trying to land an athlete. Same goes for artists and musicians. There will be women at the hotel before they even arrive. Mutual attraction. Money allows them to fly women in from other countries or travel there to Bangkok. The only reason POTUS OJ has his mail-order bride is money. Otherwise, she isn't interested in him. In fact, she's hardly ever around him. The question is why aren't women cooperating or finding those dudes interesting. There are at least 3 sides to a story. Maybe it is a form of autism but some dudes are lazy when it comes to pulling women. They either 1) expect women out their league to be attracted to them and/or 2) the dudes are boring themselves and not bringing enough to the table. A dude that has his sh8t together has ZERO problems pulling women. That is universal. The next time you're chopping up with Incels, please tell them to do the following: 1) Make money 2) proper hygiene, dental care and grooming 3) dress very well 4) smell great 5) hit the gym 6) have transportation 7) have great conversation 8 ) have a sense of humor 9) be knowledgeable 10) be a gentleman Again, that is a different perspective. I was referring to the ability to become wealthy using one's own body. Nobody is telling their offspring to join the alphabet soup community. Of course, momma will *understand* if her son becomes a fruit or daughter goes Butch. To look at someone s8xually is a part of physical attraction. That's why both men and women dress a certain way. To objectify a person s8xually is believing or treating them as if they are only good for that purpose. A man should *think* about it from that perspective before objectifying other women. It really comes down to respect. Every major city in America has an alphabet soup community including Detroit.

Rest assured that intelligent folks aren't getting haircuts in such a place.

If it is all about an individual or a handful of people *making it*, there is no need to discuss any type of Black unity. OTOH, everyone can *benefit* is there was real Black unity. As I've mentioned in previous dialog on this subject, violence would have been the better alternative. Despite slavery, lynching, water hoses and dogs biting up to modern day executions by police and racists, Black folks have depended on non-violent resistance. The slaves would have been better off if they had united, got on code, armed themselves, come up with a plan to escape and killed the slave master and his family and employees. Colonizers have done it throughout history. They form an army. Invade another country. Kill the resistance. Subjugate the rest. Fear of death has kept Black folks oppressed more than anything else. There is a reason one has to fight for freedom. There is only one way to protect manhood...violence. A man has to be capable of violence in order to protect himself and his family and tribe. If the question is why *fight* a battle that is seemingly unwinnable...being any type of *slave* is a slow death. The Israelis, Palestinians, Ukrainians and Russians are dying by the thousands for nothing. Black folks are seemingly unwilling to die to be free from the system of racism white supremacy.

On cue by direction of POTUS OJ, New York AG Letitia James has been indicted on federal charges: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/new-york-ag-letitia-james-speaks-federal-indictment/story?id=126496441 NY AG James is the 1st to win a conviction of a former POTUS. Of course, that was never going to sit well with POTUS OJ. Not even 1 year into his second term, the same clown who claimed he wasn't going on a revenge and retribution campaign if re-elected has done it anyway. AG James has been defiant in declaring her innocence and willingess to fight the charges. Trust that she already has her defense strategy on lock.

Merely having Black people in positions doesn't benefit our people. Politicians are elected to serve the needs of their constituents. The reason many politicians get rich is because they helped others make more money. Exactly. Anything else is most likely in exercise in futility. The job of politicians isn't to warm a seat and collect a check. They are supposed to make sure resources get to their constituents. History has shown us past to present that Black people being in positions doesn't help our race. Black overseers were the main people who snitched on runaway slaves and/or plans of escape. It was a house n8gglet who sold out Nat Turner. He got that brotha killed. Classic example of a Black man warming a seat who clearly doesn't a f8ck about his own people. He should've been snatched up by the drop squad a long time ago.

That is correct. I might be sh8t out of luck.

Sure. They understand money attracts women. No need to chase them. Those men have to find other ways to make themselves attractive. Society isn't producing incels. These dudes are too lazy to put in the work required to get women. They want to be accepted *as is* like a used car. OK. Nobody is bringing in that kinda money using their own body for s8x. Right. Porn industry in America has been profitable for decades. The choices don't have to be desperate. There's no shortage of highly intelligent people working for thieves and dummies. AfroAmericans are voluntary members of the alphabet soup community. They were not forced into it. There's a difference between looking at someone s8xually and objectifying them. There was no objectifying if they agreed to get down on it. I don't believe anybody here is telling people what they can and cannot do with their bodies nor how to spend their money. I stand on the belief that people should live and let live. Enjoy life to the fullest extent. @Pioneer1, the DMV doesn't have nearly as many dudes in the alphabet soup community as ATL.

Right. My point was establishing financial institutions specifically to help Black folks. IMO, religion and organizations in general that require membership and do nothing for the people but enrich themselves are problematic.

Bill Cosby wasn't using his wealth to get at those women if he was slipping mickeys in their drinks. That majority of men have no problems attracting women. It is the handful of INCELS who are complaining about their lack of s8xual access. Interview those dudes and it will be evidently clear why they aren't getting women. We may be communicating from different planes. Tell me how you define wealth in terms of net worth. That's different from an individual becoming a multimillion or billionaire selling themselves s8xually. The only individuals who have made that kind of money from s8x got it from a lawsuit. They sued a rich man or woman. There's not very many of them especially among Black folks. It really depends on individual circumstances. Humans can rationalize almost anything under certain conditions. Right. Their culture does not play those kinda games to the same extent. AfroAmericans have adapted to American culture which is different. I do not foresee AfroAmericans turning against the acceptance of and participation in the alphabet soup aspect of American culture anytime soon. That's why Martin Lawrence, Eddie Murphy, Wesley Snipes, Tyler Perry, etc. have made millions of dollars wearing a dress. I know you were responding to @Troy but his questions are very valid. It is easy for people to look at other folks as objects when it doesn't hit home. Sometimes, as the late brotha Joe Madison used to say, "you have to put it where the goats can get it". Regardless of how a person chooses to live, they are still a human being first and foremost.
