Impressive word usage there. Let me know how much you'd charge to write my posts.😁😎

FBA/AfroAmericans have come a long way between slavery & the present. Especially compared to Black folks who have lived in their own countries over the same period of time. The fact that Tyler Perry who wasn't born wealthy has been able to amass a fortune significant enough to buy studios is an accomplishment. I'm glad so many FBA/AfroAmericans who were not born wealthy have been able to make a lot of money here in the USA.😎

Never underestimate what I know. The point I was making is that Black folks do have outlets &/or some level of influence over them. There's nothing to prevent Black folks from investing in more platforms if there is a real desire to do so. TV One is but one an example. Tyler Perry owns a whole movie production set-up in Georgia. I'm never going to be defeated into believing Black folks cannot afford to establish anything of benefit &/or importance to us. Black development in any industry is a matter of desire & will. The resources exist.😎

FBA/AfroAmericans cannot undo the oppression in their own homeland. Tall order taking up the charge to help other countries. No denying that white folks believe in war & violence as a resort to solving problems. My point was that white folks aren't going to self-implode without taking other people with them either directly or in directly as collateral damage. That's why they have developed nuclear weapons. Right. Humans can only destroy themselves but not the planet. The Earth has been around for 5 billion years & is on schedule to be around another 5 billion years. Human existence doesn't even amount for a fraction of that time. We are a blip on this rock in the grand scheme of things.😎

I have always found it interesting that other Black folks want FBA/AfroAmericans to lead the charge in uniting Africa & the rest of the diaspora. Since when did FBA/AfroAmericans become the chosen people to undue centuries of tribalism & mismanagement of homelands to lead other Black people to the *promised land*.😁 I believe Black folks are sitting back & waiting for white folks to self-implode. That's not how white folks get down. White folks are willing to blow up the whole planet if they cannot dominate it. Absolutely. As the Black man who calls balls & strikes I see them & wanting to see Black folks collectively win, I take all of my Black people to task especially when they are on some BS in their thinking. That goes for both my FBA/AfroAmerican & Pan-African family & friends. 😎

Right. I was referring to the national average gas price hitting $5 per gallon. It hasn't gotten there...yet. Despite a friend of the current administration being heavily involved in EV technology, it appears the effort to ramp up EV infrastructure has stalled in favor of continuing to enrich the oil & gas industry. The current administration even rolled back an EV mandate drawn up by the previous administration. So much for EVs becoming standard by 2045(?). Of course, there is still time to make EVs even more commonplace in the future depending on who's running the government & the lobbyists behind them. In the meantime, the current administration will continue to enrich the oil & gas industry long before EVs gain any more traction (no pun intended).😎

What is the most you're willing to pay for a gallon of gas? Just curious to know at what point the family here would park the ride & use another form of transportation. It's amusing the same USA that 1) seized control of Venezuelan oil & 2) attacked Iran would pass higher gas prices to the same American people who are complaining about the price of groceries & healthcare. I doubt the price will hit $5 per gallon. However, jacking the price up by @ least $1 in less than a month doesn't show much concern for the economy & struggling people either.😎

Gotcha. A free Black channel would be ideal. Especially if our people would use it constructively.😎

There is no lack of recognition &/or refusal to accept the net effects of the system of racism white supremacy. It is something I mention quite a bit in my posts here. I totally understand how Black folks have been colonized, divided & conquered. My over-arching question is what are we as Black folks collectively willing to do about being divided & conquered? It is imperative that Black folks form strategic alliances at some point in order to reverse the reality of racism white supremacy. Once Black folks collectively become more self-sufficient & autonomous, this is the eventuality we must be willing to face. White folks are willing to use violence in order to oppress & dominate non-white people. Black folks cannot hope & pray their way out of going to war in order to be truly free & independent of white folks. As I mentioned several times in different posts, in my lifetime, I would love to see Black people collectively win.😎

BET, OWN, TV One & Bounce to name a few could host Black content Same goes for movie theaters if Magic Johnson is still in that business. No need to wait or rely on broadcast or cable TV or a streaming platformed to host Black TV shows & movies. There is room for more outlets even if it means .establishing a new streaming platform.😎

Most people who follow American politics are aware of Evangelical christians. They heavily influence the Republican Party. Christian Nationalism is another aspect of the evangelical movement. Towns, communities & schools are being set up in a throwback to the 1800s. These people are predominantly white. I doubt liberal white folks will allow the Chrsitian Nationalists to take over the country & force everyone to adopt it. There's always some type of wacky religious movement in the USA. I remember Jonestown, Branch Davidians, Mormons & those folks who committed suicide with $5 in their pockets.🤣 Black people keep that 3rd open. Learn self-defense & how to use weapons. I really don't believe these white people will come at Black folks. They'll mainly stay in their own bubbles like Amish people. However, staying ready means one doesn't have to get ready if/when sh8t hits the fan.😎

Understood. Who is oppressing Africans & how are they able & allowed to do it?😎

Nat King Cole would not have become a millionaire entertainer if white folks didn't also buy his music & attend his performances & watch his TV show.😎

2nd longest serving FBI Director in US history, Robert Mueller passed away @ 81 years old. POTUS OJ posts on Truth Social..."Good. I'm glad he's dead". It's no secret that POTUS OJ hated Mueller due to the Russia collusion investigation into the 2016 election. However, a true statesman would have taken a higher road in this moment. Of course, the USA isn't being led by a real leader of the people. The sad & funny part is that on cue MAGA folks are defending crass 🤡 azz POTUS OJ. Somehow he deserves to feel this way because Mueller was an *enemy*. The country has 2.67 years left under POTUS OJ before the next election.😎

False equivalence IMO. FBA/ADOS are a minority in a multicultural country. Africans have a whole continent & countries to themselves. Why aren't they staying *home* & *fixing* their own countries instead of running to predominantly white countries. Correct. In a country where 99% of the people look alike, they should be able to change it. I hope Burkina Faso President Ibrahim Traore understands the game he's trying to play. None of these devils care about what's best for his country. 😎

It is a sad state of affairs that the only hope of getting out of a man-made quagmire is some type of celestial intervention.😎

The people elect their leaders in places that have *free & fair* elections. It has been said that people deserve the leadership they elect. 😁 Understood.😁 Right. I don't have an issue with Traore being military-minded. A leader has to be capable of violence if there is a threat. However, Traore trading one colonizer for another definitely isn't a chess move.😎

You're right. Plenty dudes are attracted to polar bears.😁 Gotcha. Thick & voluptuous women win every time & twice on Sundays. Sure. Especially men who don't attract women naturally. Having a lot of money allows a man to buy more of everything including women. A man living in mansion never has to worry about getting women. Money attracts them. A lack of financial security makes all of that harder to obtain & causes unnecessary stress.😎

There hasn't been a Black Malcolm X wannabe in decades. It's not uncommon for people to copy those they admire on some level. Shahid Bolsen's message is his own but I did find it amusing that he chose to co-opt Malcolm X.😎

There's no shortage of brothas with unattractive, overweight white women. It's interesting that you prefer petite, feminine Black women but if you had to take one of those white women it would be the thicker one. What advantage does a white woman gain in being with a Black man? Instead of focusing on the superficial i.e. looks, Black folks should be trying to figure out how to build & connect with each other in order to own sh8t & amass wealth.😎

Right. Patrice Lumumba & Idi Amin & Muammar Gaddafi were killed for similar reasons. Burkina Faso's Ibrahim Traore is trying to break out of the French stranglehold on his country.😎

It's only natural for people to.put their own in charge &/or those with whom they feel most comfortable. Black folks need to create & own opportunities instead of waiting on someone else to give them a shot at being in charge & grumbling & complaining when they don't or get fired.😎

Those African nations chose to make unfair deals for themselves with oppressors. Rich in natural resources if the 53 African nations worked together they wouldn't need outsiders.😎

No doubt AI will be used to resurrect the image/likeness of our Black icons. I believe Shahid Bolsen uses AI to copy the speech pattern & cadence & mannerisms of our late Brother Malcolm X: Folks will find creative ways to use technology.😎

Right. So many bombs being dropped over there it's gonna be even more hole-y.😁😎
