Crimes are usually committed out of opportunity or passion. Most murderers, thieves, drug dealers and addicts aren't evil people. They decided to break the law. There are more than a few highly intelligent people looked up behind bars. They chose to buck the system rather than conform. Got caught up.😎

I don't believe we have given them a misson to do and/or an agenda to fulfill. It's easy to sit around and do nothing when there are no assignments. Gotta have ideas, plans and blueprints before anything can be built.😎

War is the only way men take power. Prisons and jails are filled with people convicted of crimes. Very few of them have tried to overthrow governments or lead a revolution. 😎

That's a belief men consistently get wrong when it comes to women. They don't need a man in order to be successful or happy. Not really. Notice that I wrote add to happiness. I always do that because humans don't need money or power in order to be happy. Happiness come from within the individual and emanates outward. The only thing another person can do is add or subtract from it. Another person should never be the source of one's happiness. Something is wrong there. It's out of order like a vending machine. Correct. Wealth and/or success do not automatically equate to happiness. The alphabet soup community might feel differently. Her biological desire doesn't necessarily have to be a man. I know quite a few women who are perfectly fine and content without a man. Don't wanna be bothered at all.🤣😎

The US Capitol was the objective for trying to keep POTUS OJ in power the 1st time. They wanted to hang VP Mike Pence if they could have gotten to him.😎

A rich, successful woman doesn't *need* a man to take care of her. As a result, she doesn't have to cater to him on any level (mental, physical, emotional). Successful and/or rich women have a harder time finding a man who 1) doesn't feel threatened by her status and 2) isn't trying to control her. Those women have different needs beyond the physical. They can find healthy men by the dozen. That's easy. Finding a man worth spending their time and life with who adds to their happiness can be a challenge for rich, successful women. No matter how much money a woman has, there are men who will never see or treat her as an equal or better. That will present problems. 😎

No surprise. This sh8t cannot be made up either.🤣 The late Dick Gregory told us Black folks to sit back and do nothing as they white folks implode on themselves. Meanwhile, the state of North Carolina has introduced a crime bill named after the Ukrainian young adult who was stabbed on the train by a crazy Black man. They are trying to figure out how to give his mentally ill azz the needle before there is a trial. In fact, a House select subcommittee is down in NC to discuss their crime *problems*. To date, there is no subcommittee on mass shootings in America.😎

Congrats to having a winning weekend in sports.👏🏿 The current administration will brag about being tough on crime and immigration in inner-cities. Yet, they cannot stop the wars in Gaza and Ukraine. Nor can they get their arms around these mass shootings among white folks. The distractions are real. Target non-white folks for crimes and violence. Indicted former government officials on bogus charges. Meanwhile, the Epstein files have not be released. White folks are being slaughtered between mass shootings in schools and churches and pointless wars.😎

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/sep/28/eric-adams-drops-out-new-york-mayor-race NYC Mayor Eric Adams has ended his re-election bid. Citing a lack of access to campaign funds was the main reason Mayor Adams dropped out. A lack of money would prevent Mayor Adams from runnimg independently. The current administration didn't put that money machine behind him. It is also being reported that Mayor Adams was in 4th place behind Mamdani, Cuomo and Sliwa. Maybe the current administration has a job for Mayor Adams. I believe he'll resurface eventually. I doubt he's financially well off enough to stay retired.😎

I haven't watched a music awards show in decades. Most of artists and musicians have to write, sing and play whatever money behind them mandates. Gospel music is no different in that regard. That's why it's called the music business.😎

Depends on the news feed. I've seen news *stories* that are referring to something that has already happened. It's annoying to have to do a double-take on news that is no longer relevant. 😎

https://www.newsweek.com/kash-patel-contradicts-donald-trumps-claim-about-fbi-on-january-6-10793817 Looks like the current administration wants relitigate the Jan. 6th insurrection. Every American with a TV and/or internet access saw what happened that day. It is amazing that in this day and age two people can look at the same thing and draw different conclusions. Folks were assaulting law enforcement officers and defacing and vandalizing the US Capitol. Once inside the Capitol building, these people continued desecrating the place. One of the rioters ended up getting shot and killed. A law endorsement officer died from injuries sustained from the rioters. Several officers had to receive medical treatment. Yet, there are people who saw the Jan. 6th insurrection as a peaceful protest. The current administration pardoned 1,500 people involved in it. POTUS OJ now wants to accuse former FBI Director Christopher Wray of lying to Congress about FBI involvement in Jan. 6th. The desire to white-wash historical events and march towards fascism continues.😎

Of course that's a question only Serena can answer. Considering her dating history, this dude must have been *safe* on several levels.😎

I read about sista Assata Shakur's transition earlier today. She's truly free now. Rest in power.😎

Yep. That's her dude.🤣 If it is any consolation to the brothas, Serena's husband was already rich before she married him. Made his bread in the tech industry. Serena is not being fleeced out of her fortune.😁 My question is when is he going to hit the gym with her.🤣😎

As @aka Contrarian points out, materialism has little or nothing to do with having knowledge of that which one consumes. Being able to afford expensive items and/or continually upgrade on the treadmill of planned obsolescence is part and parcel of the materialism. People buy expensive houses, luxury vehicles, designer clothes and name brand appliances, etc., for status and self-esteem. Planned obsolescence started in the 1930s. Gross consumerism has been the American way of life for many decades. Nobody buys anything with the intent of keeping it for a lifetime and/or passing it down as an heirloom. Those days are long gone with the wind.🤣😎

Yep. I thought she stood a great chance of winning based on her credentials and experience. As the returns were coming back on election night and it looked like the 🤡 was going to win, my 1st thought was white women betrayed us all.🤣 That's why in boxing, it's better to get a knockout instead of relying on the scorecards. Unbelievable that world leaders sat through POTUS OJ's BS and berating them. The same people got up and walked out on Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu during his speech. He didn't chastise them too harshly. It is the most powerful religion on the planet.😎

I can respect those who are quick to tell folks they are not Black leaders. I don't begrudge how they grift, er, get their money. Speaking of...it looks like the Pimp of Pan-Africanism Dr. Umar Johnson has run out of Chess moves.🤣 The Civil Rights Movement gave Black folks something to build upon. Seems our people have been rudder-less or on auto-pilot since the late 1960s. Black folks have made a ton of money but have nothing to show for it in terms of institutional and generational wealth. That seems to be a generational problem across the board. For one reason or another, older folks don't want to turn that sh8t over to the smarter, younger folks who will make it grow. It is right up there with Black folks and their unwillingness to do Wills. Doesn't matter whether you have $5 or $50 million...estate planning is important. But no....grandpa would rather give his pension to an ignorant n8gglet chick who in turn spends it on her real dude. 😁 Same goes for mee-maw. She wants to spend her bread on bus trips to the casino. Sitting at a slot machine with 2 thousand dollars in a fanny pack.🤣 There are definitely Baby Boomers and Gen-Xers on that BS. Men and Women. They're supposed to be grandparents. Instead, they are in competition with younger folks. That Viagra and Ozempic got them f8cked up.🤣😎

I'm using want/do synonymously as it relates to controlling the planet. IOW, the 1% who do control the planet don't want to give it up.😁 They don't want it bad enough if they aren't willing to take it. There is no such thing as miraculously given especially when it comes to power.😎

If/when the smoke clears from a civil war white folks will still have more guns than every other group of people. Keep in mind that gunpowder is what enabled white folks to rise to power. They are willing to kill or be killed in order to maintain it.😎

Of course not. They believe they're more useful and/or important than everybody else.😁 That's never going to sit well with the less than 1% of the population who wants to control the planet. Greed and power does not like to share.🤣😎

True. All men are created equal. However, there is something different about men who are willing to start world wars for power. Right. Unfortunately, greed and corruption are problems. Self-hating Black folks is a problem too. Leadership is more important than people think. The misconception is that leaders are people speaking into a bullhorn or a microphone. That's one type of leader. But, successful people, institutions, businesses, corporations, etc. inspire people to do better too. True. Black men have to be willing to do the same things white men did in order to build this powerful nation. Part of the Black leadership *problem* is the lack of a succession plan. That self-hate/jealousy is manifested in that aspect too.😎

Figured as much. That's not happening in our lifetime either.😁😎

Sure. Folks fought but nobody got killed. IMO, the uptick in violence here in America started back in the 1980s. It has only gotten worse with the proliferation of drugs and guns. Street life and violent video games has desensitized a whole lot of people from age 65 down to the youngins. I know *old heads* who will pop a cap in that azz faster than these young dudes. Very few people think about fighting to settle their differences. They're playing for keeps nowadays. Bang.😎

Disease and death are welcomed considering *they* believe the world is already over-populated at 8 billion people. They will claim there is barely enough work to keep people busy and paid too. 😎
