You may not agree semantically but to consider countries allies isn't stupidity. I didn't quote it suggesting that you were saying Iran should go to war. Tangentially, I wrote that it would be suicide for Iran to go to war against the US/Israel. IMO, the global pecking order remains unchanged regardless the outcome of this strike. None of the other super-powers truly cares about Iran beyond them sitting on black gold aka oil.

Such an unfortunate situation for gun-fire to erupt at a Juneteenth celebration or anywhere else. I hope the shooting did not stem from the gang violence out there in Tulsa. Black folks can only rely on police solve our issues up to a point. The police aren't going to do any more than they're getting paid to do to solve the *problems* (gangs, crime, drugs, etc.). At some point, communities have to step up to plate to eliminate the societal ills plaguing them. Solving problems starts with parents and family members and extends out to the village. Parents should be 1st line of defense in keeping their offspring from becoming a menace to society.

They are claiming the 2 week decision was the art of deception making POTUS OJ some kind of strategic genius. I don't see how bombing a sovereign nation should warrant a Noel Peace Prize. If the clown gets one, it is just another confirmation that the system of racism white supremacy is still in full effect.

There are no records of the 2nd race. The racial explosion occurred thousands of years ago as people migrated to other continents.

Maybe Russia and China will help Iran rebuild their nuclear program. Lil Kim has been laying real low. He sees POTUS OJ as either a useful idiot or paper tiger. North Korea might join the Russians and Chinese if they decide to help Iran rebuild their nukes.

Sure. But, women need to be assured that a man can take of her beyond the bedroom. Those man-made, superficial constructs attract and keep women around. Right. Powerful and/or wealthy men use a completely different measuring stick. They have access to a buffet of women too. Masculinity is not solely about the bulge in a man's pants. A well-groomed, physically fit, intelligent man will attract a lot more *quality* women than a well-hung dirtbag..

They say the 1st race was Black.

There is more to attracting and keeping women around than being a well endowed man. No shortage of *hung* dudes who come up *short* in other areas of life (intelligence, money, protection, physical fitness, etc.). Not to mention that having the right tool is meaningless if one doesn't know how to use it.

As @Pioneer1 queried, where is Russia and China who are supposed allies to Iran. The Iranians do not have enough weapons or men to wage war against Israel backed by the US. The Iranian regime could do the terrorist equivalent of strapping on a bomb and blowing up their own country. That would not be fair to the 90 million Iranian citizens though.

The US protects Israel because they are the stabilizing force in the desert responsible for keeping Brown people aka sand n8ggaz in check. Russia and China are playing their positions on the global Chess board.

There's a program at work here. Just look at the pattern of how these allegations come up against rich Black men in the entertainment industry and sports. At some point, Black men have to accept the fact that there is a bullseye on their back and on their crotch. They need to move accordingly. Maybe they should only f8ck in public. Right. They're taking full advantage of the same *privileges* that come with fame and money. Even when the white dudes do get jammed up for their foul sh8t, the law gives them a slap in the wrist. No public lynching, er, high profile trial. OJ Simpson is dead and gone and white folks are still p8ssed off and talking about how he got away with murder. Until we gain real power, being a Black man will continue to be the greatest blessing and curse rolled up.

One of the cool things about music is that a person doesn't have to grow up in the era that it was produced in order be knowledgeable of it. They *borrowed* heavily from Black folks. That's true. But like everything else, it's important for Black folks to know their history and contributions to the world. True indeed. I believe music is the opiate that could heal the world if it was allowed to do so.

Country music came from Black music. Of course, Hip-Hop was created by Black folks too. White folks' music would be dull and boring if they didn't steal from Black folks.

It has come to pass the US has bombed 3 major Iranian nuclear facilities. At this point, it still doesn't make sense for the current administration to suggest there's any kind of deal left for the Iranians. Unless the US and Israel are worried about Iran using remnants of their nuclear program to make dirty bombs. In the meantime, some folks will be placed on high alert for terrorist attacks in retaliatin to the bombing. Russia and China are still real quiet as a joint strike (US/Israel) against Iran went down.

https://apnews.com/article/tyler-perry-lawsuit-derek-dixon-oval-45c6b19ed17e728e67aceb0ab130aa0d Another rich Black man facing a lawsuit. This time it is Tyler Perry (TP) being sued for $260 million el grande. There are several holes in the plaintiff's allegations. Surely, we're not supposed to believe a grown azz man felt comfortable spending the night in another's man's house and couldn't stop the harassment. I don't believe this silly suit will make it through the court. Hopefully, TP will be more selective about who he pulls off his production set or at an event or from the Village People.

Don't think so. It was reported a day before Juneteenth. Moving the bust had to happen a few days or more ago.

https://www.blackenterprise.com/why-did-trump-remove-the-mlk-bust-from-the-oval-office/ In the latest face slap, POTUS OJ moves a bust Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., from thdle Oval Office to a private dining room in the White House. I'd imagine the redecorating won't matter much to the Black folks who get to spend time in the Oval Office or any other part of the White House. Nothing should be a surprise as POTUS OJ does whatever he can to satisfy his base and take America back to the 1950s which was great for white folks in this country.

Happy Juneteenth. I think we'd better enjoy this holiday while it lasts. I wouldn't be surprised if POTUS OJ the tries to cancel it within next 3.5 years. https://share.newsbreak.com/dnjf308p I hope that petty azz Depend wearing dude won't stoop that low.

White folks don't appear to be overly concerned with the laws of nature as long as they maintain power and control wealth. Non-whites are powerless and whatever they think or believe is meaningless to the most powerful people on the planet.

Sure. Regardless of physics and technological changes, basic human nature and needs remain unchanged.

The real question is why do most people not care about the depreciation of automobiles and the production of useless variations and unreliable junk. Just like s8 and drugs and baby oil for some, gross consumerism allows people to enjoy their lives for the limited amount of time they will spend on the planet.

Find a cure for human greed and the world would be perfect. Millions of years in existence, human beings self-destructing and having to start over is a convenient excuse for not being further along in our progress as a species. That reminds me of people who play video games. Instead of completing the game, they keep hitting the reset button.

It's all relative to one's interest and/or position. Black Americans can live without a deep knowledge of technology as long as they have access to it. Just like bibles, most user manuals for technology remain in like new condition because folks don't bother to read them.

Exactly. Iran is no closer to having a nuclear weapon than they were 20 years ago. Even if Iranians did have a nuclear weapon, their *enemies* already know how to contain it. Israel is being allow to *stabilize* the region. The Russians and Chinese are deal silent in their defense of Iran or lack thereof. They're just gonna leave the lil homie on stuck.

it happens to many folks who are have a keen interest or passion for something. A serious musician h8tes most popular commercial music due to its simplicity. A 5-star chef may have a harder time enjoying a meal from a fast food joint. The main priorities of the average person are 1) survival and 2) enjoying life. As a result, most people master technology just well enough to satisfy #1 and #2.
