West African countries liberating themselves from France is great. I hope they have long-term plans for maintaining their sovereignty and economic self-sufficiency.😎

Whenever I see something along this line, my 1st thought is if God is omnipotent, how or why would it have any *problems* with it's own creation. Same thing with AI. Humans can stop playing around with AI today and there is no chance of it getting out of hand tomorrow. *Problem* solved.😎

https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/nottoway-louisiana-plantation-burned-rcna207810 The Nottoway Plantation in White Castle, Louisiana has burned up. It was the largest antebellum mansion in the south. Of course, it's been a long time since 150 Black folks were enslaved at Nottoway. Surely, none of the descendants will be shedding tears over the destroyed structure. The owners claim they're going to rebuild it. Hopefully, they won't be able to do it and haven't salvaged any relics or memorabilia from the past. Good riddance.😎

https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cpqe7rp388vt South African President Cyril Ramaphosa visited the White House Oval Office today. After exchanging a few compliments, POTUS OJ ambushed President Ramaphosa over allegations of white Afrikaner genocide. Allegedly, white South African farmers are being executed amd their farmland is being given away. POTUS OJ had a propaganda video and a stack of news clippings to back up his BS. There is no genocide of white South Afrikaners. Full stop. If it was true, white troops would be in the process of slaughtering 50 million Black South Africans. POTUS OJ is building a strawman to justify allowing those 59 white South African refugee farmers into the US. To his credit, South African President Ramaphosa maintained his cool throughout the ambush. He still got the low-key Zelensky treatment. Interestingly, we never get to see POTUS OJ bullying President Vladimir Putin. That's because POTUS OJ cannot intimidate the former KGB officer. I also believe Putin has dirt on POTUS OJ. At any rate, I really hope President Ramaphosa redeems himself in some way, shape, form or fashion. He didn't deserve what he got on day 1 of his US visit.😎

Spain is happy to get whatever it can from the US.🤣😎

Correct. The MD congress could overturn the veto. The nation isn't remotely interested in studying slavery or reparations. Right. Just like California, the thought is to get reparations passed at the state level could spread up to the national level. Yep. Either way, taxpayers would ultimately be responsible for reparations. There's enough historical data about slavery to compile and paint a vivid picture of everything it entailed pre- and post to make a solid case for reparations. Alao, they could model other atrocities that have led to reparations and build upon it. California killed its reparations bill in a similar fashion. Black lawmakers pretend they want to tackle the issue. It's not really within their best *interests* to go hard in the paint for it. There's no shortage of brilliant people who could make reparations happen. America has no desire or incentive to do so.😎

It really makes no difference. Either way, AI is man-made. If AI goes berserk and/or anything bad happens, humans only have themselves to blame. Trying to play God...FAFO.🤣😎

That Cuomo investigation would definitely make the NYC mayoral race more interesting. Mayor Adams Remains to be seen if NYers still have confidence in Mayor Adams. The current administration is throwing life lines to help him.😎

He wasn't standing up in and being driven around in an electric MB G-Wagon.🤣😎

The latest Pope Mobile is a $500k Mercedes-Benz G Wagon electric vehicle. Considering that Jesus had to walk everywhere, it looks like the church has come a long way. 🤣😎

Right. The effects of slavery don't require a study. Right. No study required. Gov. Moore is of Cuban and Jamaican descent on his maternal side. We already know how non-FBA folks roll. Gov. Moore didn't offer an alternative plan for a reparations bill either. Instead, he talks about opportunities for everyone. That lift all boats canard is never late. Gov. Moore smiles way too much. That permanently, plastered, sh8t eating grin is a smoke screen and a red flag. All skin folks ain't kinfolks.🤣😎

https://www.blackenterprise.com/maryland-gov-wes-moore-vetoes-reparations-bill/ 1st Black Maryland governor Wes Moore vetoed a state bill to study reparations. Firstly, there's already been a few studies into reparations for America's original sin of slavery. The interesting part is nobody had to study other reparations i.e. Native Americans, Israel, Japan, Holocaust and Chinese Americans to name a few. Gov. Wes Moore is a rising star in the Democratic party. They may be grooming him for a 2028 POTUS bid. IMO, Gov. Moore is on a trajectory to be POTUS Barack Obama 2.0. Gov. Moore isn't going to do anything to upset the system of racism white supremacy. Vetoing the state reparations bill has already put white folks on notice as to where Gov. Moore stands on that issue. Gov. Moore will be consistent with the Democratic philosophy of pandering to Black folks for their support and a promise to deliver nothing in return. Gov. Moore still has 3.5 years to show Black folks something different. I don't suggest depriving oneself of oxygen in the process.🤣😎

To be clear, I'm not advocating that anyone, rich or poor, should get away with violating someone else especially if they're under the age of consent. Celebrities really have no excuse because there's no shortage of ready, willing and able, consenting adults. More importantly, celebrity Black men should *always* believe folks are scheming on that bag. In fact, they should only deal with folks who have money too. As the referee tells every boxer...protect yourself at all times. They had a 10 year toxic relationship. She should've gotten away from Diddy after the 1st time he carried her sideways. That hotel incident probably wasn't it. Yet, something made her stay with him. I don't believe it was fear. It's absolutely Diddy's fault. He's not a dumb guy. He knows how men get taken down. Ego is killer. No doubt...the individual brings heat upon themselves. However, the white media takes great delight in reporting from that potential gravesite especially when it's a Black man. OJ is dead and gone and they're still talking about him.😎

Sure. Back in the 1970s, it was common for Hollywood men to use alcohol and drugs to lure women. Cosby's mistake was believing he had the same pass. The point is there's a disparity in how Black and white men are treated for similar allegations, charges and crimes. There's no "Surviving Harvey Weinstein" on cable TV. This is the same guy who was found guilty of using his position to take advantage of women on the *casting couch*. Right now, they are trying free him from prison. Similar goes for Roman Polanski, Danny Masterson and Woody Allen to name a few. They were not dragged through the mud for taking advantage of women and children. Black men know the deck is already stacked against them especially when it comes to women. It makes zero sense for them to roll like white men. Not gonna end well.😎

There is no large platform. Most of them are at grassroots level. Roland Martin is probably the most widely known. Right. Unfortunately, most people flock to the shiniest thing or in this case...most popular outlets. Of course, David Stewart didn't engage in such foolishness as far as we know.🤣 Stewart is a totally legit billionaire. He understood how to play the game within the system. I don't argue. I'm definitely not suggesting R. Kelly doesn't belong in prison if he committed the crimes for which he was convicted. The charges against folks like Jack Johnson, Cosby and Watson were a hit job. The jury is still out on Diddy. The man might be a freak but it remains to be proven that he ran a criminal enterprise.😎

Those giants among wealthy Black men never bucked the system. They didn't bite the hand that fed them either. Totally understand the game. Of course the racists aren't going to highlight the best, brightest and most righteous among our brothers and sisters. That's the responsibility of Black media.😎

Don't even have to go that far. The state of Georgia is still accepting Black folks.😁 Too late. You're already popular around here.🤗😎

He's a former POTUS. Same thing would have been reported if it was Clinton, Bush or Obama. But, POTUS Biden's diagnosis is front page news because he just left office. Also, partisan politics and political theater are making a bigger deal out of it too. Spain isn't as important to the US media as Israel, Russia, China and Ukraine. 😁😎

The responsibility of the white media is to 1) keep white folks informed about what's going on around them and 2) reinforce the system of racism white supremacy. On a daily basis, the white media reminds Black folks of what they can and cannot do under their system. Diddy should have learned that no amount of money will ever make him the equivalent of a white man under the system of racism white supremacy. That goes for every other Black man too. Black wealth means nothing to white folks especially if/when it comes from them. The only way Black folks can get white folks' attention is to 1) generate wealth autonomously and/or 2) seize it from them by any means necessary. Either way, it requires a sacrifice that Black folks are not wiling to make. Very few people are willing to die. Of course not. He was a white man for whom the rules are different. I believe they faked his death so that other white men would not get caught up in his BS. I would not be surprised if it turns out that dude got a facelift and a new identity and is living his best life somewhere else. The slaves were forced to witness Black men being buck-broken. From trying to take down Jack Johnson up to Cosby, R. Kelly, Deshaun Watson, Suge Knight and Diddy, etc., this is the modern day of equivalent of buck-breaking. Let a Black man amass a ton of money and fame. Give him a false sense of power. As soon as that Black man tries to buck the system in any way, shape, form or fashion...break him.😎

Becoming popular in anything has little or nothing to do with credentials. Hardly anybody actually verifies the letters behind a name. Amassing followers or customers is all about one's ability to market and promote i.e. selling themselves.😎

Of course, this is the kinda thing the media loves to report especially when it involves Black folks. Surely, 10 Black escapees and the brazen manner in which they escaped made it a bigger deal. Rounding up and catching them by any means necessary will keep the story going too.😎

Right. There's no shortage of imbalance in our laws and criminal justice system. Anything that has to do with money will be punished more harshly than harming or taking a life. Injured and unalived people and prisoners generate more money for the economy. It's a 2-for-1 deal. In other words, the system lets us know where it places value and what it protects in the way laws are enforced. 😎

Are you suggesting the punishment for insider trading should be similar to loitering or jaywalking?😁 There are legal ways of getting millions of dollars through deceptive and dishonest means...religion comes to mind.🤣 Folks are imprisoned as a deterrent to committing crimes. Otherwise, there would be even more criminals if folks knew there was no punishment for non-violent crimes.😎

https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/18/politics/joe-biden-prostate-cancer Former POTUS Joe Biden has revealed that he has prostate cancer. An outpour of respect has come from both sides of the political aisle for his diagnosis and well wishes for his recovery. Let's see if this situation throws a wet blanket on the petty, partisan, political theater currently playing in Washington, DC. Hopefully, POTUS Biden's treatment will be successful. Cancer still sucks. 😎

It has been reported that 10 inmates escaped from a New Orleans jail. 3 of the inmates have already been caught. They are offering a reward for the 7 escapees who remain on the lam: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2025/05/17/new-orleans-jail-escape-inmates-recaptured/83691551007/ Of course, the inmates had to have help from the inside to pull off the escape. I'd imagine several folks will be fired and possibly face charges when the dust settles. Whoever is throwing away their job in helping the escapees must have already have a healthy retirement fund.😁😎
