But the question is why can't those strong militaries do the same to China and North Korea and little Vietnam and other Asian nations?
They aren't White....nor do they have the military might of the West.
And White folks are woven all through those nations like they are in Africa....yet these nations don't look like African nations.
One reason is that the people in Asia are busy working and working and grinding to support their own economy along with allowing White folks in it.
But they aren't the main players driving it.Asians seem to be docile and subservient. Because they were not enslaved by white folks, they don't seem to mind being a cheap labor force to white countries.
In turn, the Chinese are using their money and labor to do business in and develop certain parts of Africa. China is enriching itself by extracting resources from Africa.
Non-white countries are not 1) inherently evil enough to see work domination and 2) do not have the military might to defend themselves against super power countries. Their best strategy appears to be cooperation.
China and Japan have enough muscle and/or backing to exploit weaker countries. That is their panacea to coping with racism white supremacy.
Black countries can see the game being played against them. Unfortunately, being naturally peaceful is a curse more than a blessing.
If Black countries got on code and built strategic alliances among themselves, they could end white domination in a matter of years.
The *problem* is Black folks have been brainwashed into waiting on a white savior to deliver them the evils of this world. Go figure.

I've noticed it too. It's ridiculous.
I've got about 5 smoke detectors. As soon as I hear a chirp, I'm tracking down the culprit amd changing the battery.
It's a cheap and easy and quick fix. No excuse to let it persist. People are lazy.

I STILL blame Obama for Trump being in the WhiteHouse for 4 years and probably getting back into it for 4 more years.
That's one helluva bridge bro.
POTUS Obama did the job Democrats selected him.to do. No more or less.
I don't believe POTUS Obama was/is responsible for the rise of Orange Julius.
2 hours ago, aka Contrarian said:Altho Trump is a meglo-maniac, he's an isolationist when it comes to global affairs. He just wants to be America's dictator. And if elected, he is salivating over the chance to punish all of his political enemies.
Yep. POTUS Orange Julius (POJ) is the personification of the extreme right. Almost half the country or more rides with him.
Black folks don't stand to gain or lose much if he gets re-elected. Maybe he'll pass out more stimulus checks.

I thought Haiti FOUGHT for it's freedom.
If they whooped France...and not just France but England and Spain and the other White nations...then as the Bible said they were FREE INDEED.
So how the hell they end up "owing" money?
The US decided they owed it.
Haiti won their independence from slavery. They didn't conquer those nations.
1 hour ago, Pioneer1 said:I wonder when did this start.
For a long time Haiti was truly independent from Western/European powers.Haiti was independent from slavery. Still, 21 years later that tax showed up to pay for what France lost.
1 hour ago, Pioneer1 said:I wonder if those elites are mixed raced as well as foreigners who come in to exploit the local population.
Many of the elites are mixed.
1 hour ago, Pioneer1 said:The same PROBABLY could have been said for Caribbean and African nations who gained their independence from their former European colonizers.
Same goes for the Caribbean and Africa. Independent of being ruled. Colonized by remote control.
1 hour ago, Pioneer1 said:I really wonder what would have happened to Haiti and some of these African nations if they decided to quite White folks cold turkey and live totally isolated (except for trading among eachother) from the West.
Sudan and Somalia are examples of what happens to isolated countries.
Strong militaries allows the US and other leading nations to keep a thumb on Black countries.
A huge part of being an independent country is being able to defend against aggressors.
just like real life, either know how to fight to defend and protect yourself or build strategic alliances.

I guess the explanation I gave earlier in this thread as to why Haiti is in the condition it's currently in is too simplistic to be accepted by most...lol.Not at all.
Beyond religion and voodoo, historical perspective and facts provide context too.
2 hours ago, Pioneer1 said:If they were truly liberated from France they wouldn't be indebted to them or owe them money.
Right. Since 1825, the US and France agreed that Haiti owed the equivalent of $4 billion per year for the country's freedom.
2 hours ago, Pioneer1 said:Haitian leaders have also helped them by SUBMITTING themselves to these governments for the suffering.
Haitian leaders have been selected by foreigners.
The Haitian elites have been stealing money and using it to enrich themselves.
2 hours ago, Pioneer1 said:Back in the 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s, Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam taught Black people something so profound.
Instead of working for White folks AND crying and complaining about how they are treating you....LEAVE them and DO FOR SELF.
It hasn't worked out too well over the past half-century and counting.
2 hours ago, Pioneer1 said:Haiti and many of these other Caribbean and African nations are WILLINGLY participating in a White man's system and literally BEGGING them to be apart of it....yet at the same time complaining about their poor and abusive treatment within it.
Most of these people do NOT want to work and build their own nation.Correct. It's hard to build an infrastructure when greed and corruption has people working against themselves.
-
Regardless of context, this kind of rhetoric would have gotten a non-white person kicked to the curb immediately.
Yet, former POTUS Orange Julius can spit all types of vitriol and grievance and vengeance while white folks shake their heads and shrug their shoulders.
Of course, the MAGA crowd and GOP fully support this clown. As @Pioneer1 mentioned above, the left side plays good cop bad cop.
As I often mention here, these political parties are two sides of the same coin. Their primary purpose is maintaining the system of racism white supremacy. Everything else is smoke and mirrors.
-
This is an excellent article on how the island nation of Haiti was plunged into turmoil and instability for two centuries and counting.
Haiti successfully gained its independence from France. But, it has always been indebted.
Foreign governments including our own has insured the long-standing suffering of Haiti.
The extortion and exploitation of Haiti has served as a warning to other Black countries who refuse to cooperate with the system of racism white supremacy.

The issue of contention is the idea that black tribes must have common ground to cooperate with each other and as I said, I don't think that is true.
But how can black militants in the usa cooperate with black nonviolent vowing christians?
Common interests could lead to cooperation which starts with communication.
Strategic alliances are often built on common interests moreso than friendship or shared ideologies.
If a tribe doesn't need any help reaching its goals and/or protecting itself there's nothing wrong with being an island.

@ProfDAmerica is currently involved in a political campaign not a cold war.
Fair enough.
3 hours ago, aka Contrarian said:But a cold civil war becomes a possibility if Trump is put back in office or refuses to accept defeat.
Democrats aren't nearly as aggressive as the GOP.
3 hours ago, aka Contrarian said:If Trump is re-elected, a global threat would ensue because of the effect it would have on the NATO treaty and the aid to Ukraine, both of which he opposes.
The war in Ukraine would be over if Orange Julius (POJ) gets re-elected.
Both China and Russia would rather have POJ back in the seat.
No global threats because strong countries get to make a ton of money on POJ's watch.
3 hours ago, aka Contrarian said:The Retrumpican's threat to end Social Security and Medicare and their abortion policies could also trigger domestic upheaval.
Things could really get hectic if Trump and his Congressional flunkies refuse to certify a Biden win.
It's not about what America is; it's about what America may become. And what it becomes could involve an ongoing hostile conflict: a cold war.
Again, I just don't see the Left rising up January 6th style.
Democrats don't bring smoke. They will sulk away complaining about how they couldn't get anything done because of the GOP obstructionists.
IMO, regardless who wins the election, I believe the status quo will remain unchanged.
-
@aka Contrarian, a comical cold war is the best way to describe the current US political situation.
The absence of a real global threat allows the red and blue teams to have a food fight and pull hair at recess.
Rest assured that if there was a real threat, the clowns would close ranks and get down to business. Class would be back in session.
Right now, poor Americans really should be holding the politicians accountable for doing whatever it takes to make their lives better.
Most of the politicians are either already rich or very well off. They don't give a sh8t about poor people. Just keeping them distracted with BS.

I must add, not all black leaders in the past defined have our own the same way.
So, all of us, including me, have to realize when we talk about the village, it has different tribes within and these tribes sometimes don't have a way to mix, but all tribes have presence today.
Right.
Black folks in the USA are not a monolithic group of people. Same goes for Black folks everywhere.
The common enemy to ALL Black people regardless of class, creed, station or location on the planet is the system of racism white supremacy.

The problem PRofd is that nYC has two populaces concerning law enforcement.
the NYPD can't be cleaned up while also grown Profd.
I would never advocate that police murder anyone. That's not within the definition to serve and protect.
Police officers in states, cities and towns where the population looks just like them know how to de-escalate a situation without using deadly force.
Those same NYPD officers would not shoot to kill a knife wielding middle-aged white woman standing in the street. They would talk to her for 3 days if necessary.
We know that law enforcement treats Black folks differently than any other group of people. That's a battle we're constantly fighting all over the country. Not just NYC.

Now, that's not my focus.
Perhaps they were, but I look at how many OTHER groups of color have benefited from integration and the Civil Rights movement and Affirmative Action programs...
No doubt. Many Black folks benefited from those programs. Even more white women and others benefitted too.
2 hours ago, Pioneer1 said:Integration (so-called) didn't FORCE Black folks to give up their land and businesses.
Many of them CHOSE to....and support White businesses.
True. They didn't understand or realize how detrimental it would be to having a solid economic infrastructure.
2 hours ago, Pioneer1 said:White women benefited more from Affirmative Action than our people because they HELPED EACHOTHER when they got into positions from it.
Did we do the same?Yep. As much as we were allowed to do so. Again, it's harder to make Chess moves when you don't own the board.
2 hours ago, Pioneer1 said:We have a lot of brilliant minds.
Many of them are working for White folks because our people don't have enough institutions ourselves to provide them with decent well beneficial employment.
Correct. At the same time Black folks were encouraged to get an education we should have been able to employ them.
2 hours ago, Pioneer1 said:Some of our people are just plain stupid...dumb.
No way of getting around this.
Your point is made in this regard.
Just as there's a talented 10%, there will be a challenged 10% and the other 80% will run the gamut.
2 hours ago, Pioneer1 said:But the intelligent of our people MUST take charge of the community.
Somebody has to take the lead. Osmosis doesn't work.
2 hours ago, Pioneer1 said:Most smart people tend to ALREADY be motivated and driven based on the needs they see around them.
They have moved to places that well established.
2 hours ago, Pioneer1 said:Why does a community with failing schools where the ceiling and walls are crumbling and their is no toilet paper in the stalls need MORE of an incentive to roll up their sleeves and build their own schools and educate their own children?
Lack of leadership. The smartest people have left.
2 hours ago, Pioneer1 said:You can't motivate a ZOMBIE.
Don't even waste your time.At some point we MUST organize the few among us and move on.
Folks have moved on to better communities.
2 hours ago, Pioneer1 said:It's a damn shame White men have to do it so often when we know they aren't sincere about keeping it safe.
White folks created the laws but they're not keeping Black communities safe.
In fact, white folks have created conditions to stir up crime which feeds into their system.
2 hours ago, Pioneer1 said:Put them on the site and some tools in their hand and promise them $100 an hour plus bonuses for completing the project early and......
Come back next week the tools are gone, blood is all over the construction site, and the police has the entire place taped off.
Obviously, it would take strong Black men to insure everything stays on point.
2 hours ago, Pioneer1 said:We gotta leave dead weight behind bro......
Sure. In some cases, nothing can be done. But, I've heard that a stronger hand can even raise the dead.
-
At one point in time, death penalties were carried out immediately after one was found guilty.
The modern practice of allowing a condemned person to ride the row for decades falls within the business of the prison industrial complex.
A lot of folks get paid in the judicial, legal and law enforcement communities from warehousing all types of prisoners.
States receive money for their prisons. Companies use cheap prison labor to make products and provide services.
A Capitalistic system will use anything to generate money. Death and the fear of dying is no exception.

I cannot believe a Supreme Being would have left our people on stuck.

I head the governor sent national guard troops down there to prevent things like this from happening.
Total overreaction. More political BS.
There's more than enough NYPD police officers and transit police to keep this sh8t from happening.
Police officers should have a presence and be working instead of standing around watching TikTok videos on their phones or sitting in vehicles or eating donuts or f8cking while on duty.
A police officer riding the train could have calmed that situation in a matter of minutes.
I don't believe that incident was staged or rehearsed but it was allowed to happen through benign neglect.
The authorities pick and choose what they choose to police.
A certain amount of crime is allowed because it's good for business.

What is needed is a SUPERIOR Black group who can come among them and squash the conflicts full stop.
Historically, that's been a coup with varying degrees of success.
Otherwise, there's no such thing as a superior Bllack group on the planet capable of showing up to stabilize a whole country.
It would take a coalition of the best and brightest Black folks from all over to organize and form a plan of execution to bring stability, prosperity and peace to Black countries.
The Civil Rights movement was killed in the late 1960s.
The Pan-African movement lost traction over a century ago.
They killed Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi who was the last African leader looking to unify the continent.
They assassinated Haitian president Jovenel Moïse who was also trying to bring stability to the island nation.
Another aspect of Black organization and leadership has to be protection.
Bullets and poison will be coming from all directions if/when we start a movement.
Among the enemies will be some of our very own greedy and stupid azz people.

Most of the Haitians say the same thing....just groups of Black youth with gats roaming around and being manipulated by older Black men to fight for them.
The same thing you see going on in parts of Africa.
Because many of the men would rather pick up weapons and FIGHT eachother over what resources still exist, instead of rolling up their sleeves and working.Right.
D8mn shame when countries with a 99% Black population are on some dysfunctional BS.
IMO, Black men in those countries responsible for 1) failing to build and maintain a solid infrastructure and 2) selling out to foreigners and 3) fleeing.
Prosperous and peaceful Black countries would be an alternative destination for successful AfroAmericans to invest and live.

“Stupidly” is a very harsh description of the behavior. I guess you’ve never been in a situation were there was gun fire.
I’d say the people were not sure what was happening and were scared.
Right. It is a normal reaction that most folks will try to run away from gunfire.
Unfortunately, someone could get crushed as folks are rushing to get away from danger.
My issues are 1) using guns and other weapons to solve to solve petty differences and 2) lack of regard for human life.
Killing someone and maybe even innocent bystanders for nothing is a terrible decision to make.

Earlier this evening I was helping my buddy next door repair his fence. He and his wife are Haitian.
The neighbor and I chopped it up the unrest in his home country. He also mentioned that greed and corruption and colorism were their main problems down there.
Problems will always arise when people are either rich or poor and there's nothing in the middle.

The psychological torture of death row is not having an exact date of your execution.
It could be 20 years away or 20 months....the inmate simply doesn't know and doesn't get much advanced notification.The psychological torture can't be too bad if the convict isn't willing to take matters into their own hands and turn the lights out.

Our leaders from Marcus Garvey to Elijah Muhammad have been preaching this to our people for over 100 years now...lol.
They were preaching 100 years ago.
Those men have been resting for a long time now.
The generations who received their teachings and messages figured AfroAmericans were better off with integration and civil rights and affirmative action.
1 hour ago, Pioneer1 said:It's no longer sad to me because I understand, many of our people simply aren't smart enough to realize what's in our best interests.
When we realize and accept this, then we can embark on an intelligent course that WILL work.
Over the several decades, there's been no shortage of brilliant AfroAmericans who have matriculated through institutions of higher learning and they've pursued all types of careers.
Similarly, there's been no shortage of AfroAmericans who helped to build everything in America. We have that knowledge too.
IMO, AfroAmericans do not lack intelligence or work ethic. There's no vision plan or design for what we need. Theres no champion or leadership.
A hospital or school doesn't get built just thinking about it. Requires an architect, engineer, builder, money, materials and manpower.
AfroAmericans can cover every position on the team. We just need motivation and incentive.
1 hour ago, Pioneer1 said:I understand why....lol....OTHER lazy people.
Lazy people tend to hang around eachother and scheme up together to find people who are NOT lazy to mooch off of, lol
I bet we could get a whole bunch of those same lazy people to work on building that hospital or school just by dangling a lucrative hourly rate.
