  1. 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.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  2. Figured as much. That's not happening in our lifetime either.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  3. 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.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  4. 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. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  5. The world ends for each and every one of us when we die. If you're waiting for an implosion or a big bang type scenario...that's not happening in our lifetime.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  6. From Hillary Clinton to Kamala Harris, while we can point to those who exposed an email server or those who didn't bother to vote, the reality is the white patriarchy here in the USA aren't ready for a female POTUS. The current POTUS has a litany of counts against him. He's been sued and convicted. He's a certified clown and jackazz. Yet, despite everything stacked against him, POTUS OJ was re-elected. He leads the MAGA movement. White folks on both sides of the aisle are perfectly fine with POTUS OJ because he is the personification of white power. POTUS OJ says out loud the quiet parts of what white folks think about groups of people. He promotes white patriarchy, white mationalism and maintaining the system of racism white supremacy. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  7. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/justice-department-charges-james-comey-lying-congress-rcna233581 Looks like the revenge and retribution of POTUS OJ weaponizing Department of Justice (DOJ) to go after his political enemies has begun. Today, former FBI Director James Comey was indicted on two counts of lying to Congress. Most likely, these charges will be an inconvenience to Comey. I don't believe he will be convicted of anything. Therefore, no fines or prison time. POTUS OJ also wants DOJ to press charges against New York Attorney General Letitia James and Senator Adam Schiff. These people either didn't corroborate his BS (Comey) or convicted (AG James) or impeached (Sen. Schiff) him. These 3 years under POTUS OJ could result in vendettas and litigation fueled by personal grievance. The very same law-fare he railed against. Right before the eyes of every American citizen, we are witnessing a whole clown running the country. There's no shortage of idiots cheering for the circus and spilling popcorn and soda everywhere.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  8. Gotcha. I would think the Supreme Being created everything else including those superior beings too. Maybe the Supreme Being crested good and evil on purpose to make life more interesting.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  9. Now, y'all got me curious to know how many Supreme Beings you're counting.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  10. Regardless, the left-wing isn't going to do anything to stop the US from moving in that direction. The Democrats will will take their place under it.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  11. Folks should use their platform as they choose. Surely, the folks in charge of the system have their reason(s) for leaving double-entry accounting out of high school curricula since the 1950s is a question that should be posed to the white folks in charge of the system. Establish a platform to promote those idea(s). Malcolm X and MLK Jr. were too busy tackling the issues of civil rights. Both of them were assassinated long before they could take on more issues. However, there is no better time than now to champion the cause, concern, issue of which one feels passionately. Start a movement or consult with one that is already established. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  12. No surprise there. If a picture is worth a thousand words, that fella looks like he has zero interest in going down the rabbit hole of planned obsolescence in automobiles. Trillions of dollars have been wasted on a whole lot of sh8t in addition automobiles since the 1960s. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  13. Great news if it's true. At some point, AfroAmericans have to deal with these murders differently. Otherwise, as sitting ducks, it is going to keep happening.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  14. Right. Because the shooter wasn't a marksman per se, that's why I don't think the shot was as destructive from the reported distance but obviously, it was effective. IMO, the unaliving of a white nationalist doesn't warrant conspiracy theories. He's dead. Nothing left to see here.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  15. The Supreme Being I'm referring to would be the Creator of all things. But, keep in mind that I'm the resident agnostic around here. My disbelief runs deep.๐Ÿ˜ Don't waste too much effort on me when it comes to religion. That's why I typically stay out of that dialog.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  16. Supreme Being created evil beings. Knows better but is going to let it play out until judgement time. Seems contradictory.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  17. They cancelled Arsenio for having Minister Farrakhan on his show.๐Ÿคฃ Attempted a comeback show but it was short-lived. White folks can rebound from transgressing against each other. They aren't extending that same olive branch to non-white folks.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  18. True. White folks do have better access to money if/when they need it. I don't believe white folks want a race war but they are prepared and staying ready in the event that it breaks out.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  19. Correct. But, they have been spending plenty money on research and development though. There's a cancer research center in d8mn near every state and major university in America. No shortage of money has been spent to study cancer. They come up with new treatments and drugs. Still, tens of thousands of people die from cancer every year consistently. There is no money in cures. Maintenance is the business. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  20. i don't believe the slug bounced off his chest. I think the shooter was going for for a head shot and hit him in the neck. I wouldn't say the 22-year old shooter was an expert but he spent enough time at the gun range to be proficient. Again, learning how to use firearms is something white folks do for *fun*.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  21. I've seen the video. To me, everything looked consistent with the distance from which he was shot. Had the shooter been closer, the results of the shot would have looked a lot different to include taking his head off and knocking his azz out of the chair.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  22. Not necessarily at 200 yards away. That's 600 feet. The equivalent of 2 football fields. It was still an effective kill shot. No exit.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  23. Jimmy Kimmel returned today (Tuesday) to his late night talk show. Unfortunately, those who live in markets where Sinclair and Nexstar own ABC affiliate stations won't be able to see the show. Combined they own about 70 ABC stations. Some amount of money may have to change hands in order to open those ABC markets.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  24. First, they where white men. Different ballgame. The road to freedom was not easy for the United States. The nation had to fight for its independence. There was a civil war. Plenty other issues along the way. While the United States is the greatest super power on the planet today, it still has unresolved warts. That is why the US is considered a great experiment. Of course, mayor Marion Barry had his personal own issues that derailed and tarnished his political career. Grooming the next generation of leaders is definitely the missing link. We see it every day. No strong Black leaders since 1968. The Nation of Islam doesn't appear to have a succession plan whenever Minister Farrakhan closes his eyes. Hopefully, the organization won't go down and have to be resurrected again. At this point in time, Black folks are so splintered into little tribes, there is no MAGA or Turning Point movement brewing among our people.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  25. Birth defects, cancer and other illnesses, diseases and conditions have been around for thousands of years. Long before science progressed. Modern medicine has made health-care more manageable. The powerful and greedy folks figured out a long time ago there is no money in a cure. Research, maintenance (medication), hospitalization and funerals, etc., are the money-makers when it comes to diseases, conditions and illnesses. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
