  1. Only my beloved people can look like chickens walking around the barnyard when they are dancing.๐Ÿคฃ 50 Cent had a banger with that song. Black folks 8 to over 80, blind, crippled and crazy jam when that song is played.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  2. An employee is free to quit that job whenever they feel like it. They are free to start selling s8x.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  3. Right. He's got a $100 million contract with ESPN. His hairline is still social distancing from him. Sitting on the dock of the bay, watching the tide roll away.๐Ÿคฃ I heard she's been fitted for a bulletproof vest. No shortage of crazy azz white folks. Rest assured that even though Steven from Django, er, Stephen Ain't Sh8t talking smack about her, no Black person would do harm to our sista. She must be protected.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  4. Nope. Don't believe in UAPs/UFOs either. @frankster and I have a whole dialog on that subject.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  5. Same here. Even my generation took pride in nice penmanship and being able to write well written letters and notes. Nowadays, all we got is text messaging and email.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  6. I would love to see Black folks collectively do better in terms of nation and wealth building. Realistically, I know that Black folks are way too fragmented for that to happen. It would take like-minded Black folks to join forces and get it cracking. Otherwise, Black individuals and tribes will continue doing their own thing and whatever that means in terms of success.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  7. With AI incoming, some practical jobs will have to come back. Service jobs and blue collar work is the only way some folks will be able to earn a living in the future. Penmanship died about 20 years ago. Young folks hardly write in print nevermind cursive. They type everything using smartphones and computers. Same goes for telling time. The digital clock is on their devices. They don't have to memorize phone #s either as those are stored on the same devices. Technology has negated things we did in the analog world a few decades ago. The digital world is different. Home economics....forgetaboutit. Grown azz people can't be bothered to cook and/or clean up for themselves. Folks with means are buying fast food (delivery or pick-up) or prepackaged meals and hiring maid services to clean up their homes. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that more folks are buying bidets and a robot to wipe their azz. ๐Ÿคฃ Nope...mandatory accounting and home economics will not be making a comeback anytime soon. AI and robots.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  8. Stephen A. Smith is that Black man who has unabashedly sold out. He's proudly admitted that his job is to make money for his white paymasters. I'd imagine that if he was back in slavery, this dude would have strived to be a Black overseer and snitch. If Black men were on code, a dude like Stephen A. Smith does not exist. As soon as he showed signs of being a sellout, a real-life version of a drop squad would have dealt with him accordingly. Unfortunately, Black men are not dealing with the sellouts among us nor are we punishing those who harm and murder our people.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  9. https://www.blackenterprise.com/jasmine-crockett-lets-stephen-a-smith-know-she-heard-him/ Loud mouth sports *journalist*, ESPN talk show host and podcaster, Stephen A. Smith has been throwing shade at Rep. Jasmine Crockett. Smith seems to be angling to make the jump from sports talk to politics. Some folks have asked if he plans to run for POTUS. Rep. Crockett has been the most outspoken critic of the current administration among her peers. This young Black woman has more spine than the entire Democratic party. Nonetheless, it is a very bad look for Stephen A. Smith to use his platform to criticize Rep. Crockett. Not because she's a Black woman. Simply because she's a Black person. Whatever self-hating issues Stephen A. Smith has towards Black women, he has more than enough money to seek help. Black folks especially those in high-visibility positions should not be airing their grievances against each other through white media. White folks take glee in all forms od Black dysfunction and turmoil. It is entertainment to them. We should not be giving them kindling, lighter fluid and matches. Black men really have a responsibility to check Stephen A. Smith. Just to let him know it isn't cool to throw shade at other Black folks in public. Surely, Stephen A. Smith can get a meeting with Rep. Jasmine Crockett to express his concerns with her communication style and/or job performance. Whatever the case, Black folks should not beef through white media. Keep those folks out of our bizness by any means necessary.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  10. https://www.npr.org/2025/10/18/nx-s1-5577941/adm-alvin-holsey-who-was-overseeing-the-venezuelan-boat-strikes-steps-down Admiral Alvin Holsey retired 2 years short of completing his tour. Adm Holsey was head of US Southern Command which is responsible for military operations in the Caribbean and Latin America. Lately, POTUS OJ has been ordering strikes on boats in international waters accusing them of transporting narcotics mainly fentanyl. Fentanyl is a huge concern to white folks as it has been killing them. Unlike cocaine and methamphetamines, it doesn't take much fentanyl to kill the user. Some folks also believe the US is trying to force regime change in Venezuela. President Nicholas Maduro has been running the country since 2013. According to the constitution, the US cannot declare war without Congressional approval. However, it's not uncommon for a POTUS to push the limits. POTUS Obama was responsible for toppling Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi back in 2011. Covert operations led to Gaddafi's assassination. Surely, POTUS OJ is carrying out an agenda in Venezuela. Narcotics is a smoke screen. Mexico is responsible for the fentanyl coming into the US. Admiral Holsey's moral compass wasn't feeling it. He did the admirable thing and bounced before he was asked to do something unethical and just plain wrong. Kudos to him.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  11. That's a reckoning for Black and Brown folks especially those who religiously ride for the Democratic party.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  12. @Troy thanks for allowing the tennis match between @aka Contrarian and @Pioneer1 to play out.๐Ÿ˜ They are hilarious. Makes the coffeeshop more lively.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  13. I heard it earlier today. PBT fixates on how these protests won't amount to anything without acknowledging the demands of Black people and/or trying to build a coalition without including us. The Black tribe most interested in reparations, making right the wrongs of slavery and dismantling the system of racism white supremacy have to 1) codify what is needed, 2) groom politicians to work the agenda and 3) finance them. These protests have millions of followers from all corners. Potentially, that's a lot of money to groom Democratic candidates.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  14. I understand your position in that regard. Israel doesn't own the land. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are returning to their homeland. We'll see how it shakes out post-cease-fire. Right. That's a handful of people out of 335 million. These people are humans too. Can't believe everything they say and/or write. That's how we end up with sky fairies and Santa Claus and sh8t.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  15. No need to question and/or explore alternatives when comfortable and complacent. To do nothing insures being divided and conquered. Probably not. Give them a chance to answer. Deal with them accordingly even if it means no contact. It is still of his freewill. He signed up for it. He wasn't forced.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  16. Protest is a natural part of democracy. It has led to change. Those who see no point in protests don't have to participate. That's a feature of democracy too.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  17. I have not. That's why I don't believe in it.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  18. This civilization won't collapse in our lifetime. As a result, Black folks will continue making the best of the situation under the system of racism white supremacy. Sure. Tribes are natural part of human existence. Strategic alliances are usually formed when there is common enemy. Confirmation. Make sure the information is correct. No assumptions. He's freely willing to answer to those powers. He's not being imprisoned or oppressed.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  19. Yet, Black elected officials are not making laws specifcally to help their own people. Israel has a stronger military backed by the USA. Death is inevitable. Nobody really knows what happens after we die. That's why very few people rush it.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  20. They're trying to appeal to non-voters and swing voters and maybe flip a few from red to blue. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  21. Nope. Until I see evidence or proof of something different I believe this existence is all we get and it's a wrap after that final breath.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  22. Many of the folks who didn't vote are perfectly fine with the ๐Ÿคก being POTUS. There's a belief that the average American doesn't care one way or another. We'll know how differently folks feel if/when there is a civil war in this country. I do not believe it will happen. Again, enough people are fine with POTUS OJ because their lives aren't adversely affected. That's the only explanation for how and why poor and middle-class people vote GOP (Republican).๐Ÿ˜Ž
  23. Civil Rights wasn't enough to unify all Black tribes. That was 60 years ago. There's nothing to force it now. The system of racism white supremacy is the force that created the tribes. The weapons already exist. There are Black folks who kmow how to use them. They aren't willing to use them against the enemy. We would have to ask those African nations why they do business through foreigners. Black folks have become content as consumers. We don't teach a producer mindset. Otherwise, Black folks can build anything if/when we have no other choices...necessity. Black people have become complacent under the system of racism white supremacy. Spend a day at the courthouse and witness how the *rules* are different for white folks. I understand where you're coming from in the literal sense of freedom. Only certain people are unrestricted...above the law.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  24. I do not believe humans have an entity of consciousness beyond their physical body.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  25. 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.๐Ÿ˜Ž
