Even in my eternal optimism, I don't believe that will ever change. The maintenance of power and wealth is inextricably tied to racism. Same here. I believe everything should be based on a system of justice as defined by fairness and impartiality. Not a system of laws that benefit certain groups of people while harming others based on race, class, creed, orientation, etc. The people who enforce the laws don't seem to be confused about race. 😁 Idealistically, human beings need to do a better job of taking care of each other. It looks like we have a long way to go in that regard.😎

The entire world population will turn over at least 8 times over that period of time. Human beings can only shorten their own existence on the planet. Humans cannot destroy the Earth itself. Dinosaurs left the ball 65 million years ago. Hominids have only been around for a few thousand years. Otherwise, the Earth has been taking care of itself for billions of years and it's on schedule for several billion more years. it is noble for human beings to think or believe they *matter* but in the grand scheme of things...we're just a blip on the screen.😎

Race cannot be separate from racism. There are laws on the books that disproportionately affect Black people. Same goes for sentencing guidelines. The world has not reached that idyllic point where race is a non-issue.😎

POTUS OJ has stirred up more sh8t in 6 months than some administrations manage to do over 4 years.😁 Today, POTUS OJ has become the most colorful after dropping the F-bomb on live TV. The next 3.5 years is a long time to have a road rage driver behind the wheel of his own clown car and heading up a big top circus. The American people will have to hang on to their seats and make sure their insurance policies are paid up.🤣😎

Say it again...🤣 To all the young folks lurking, we are quoting the words to a song called "War" by Edwin Starr.😁😎

Regardless of the reasons, race is something we have to acknowledge and deal with under the system of racism white supremacy. The fact that they have to make laws in order to *correct* racial discrimination and prosecute race-based crimes makes it a real thing. 😎

There is not enough proof and evidence that Iran had all of the material required to develop a nuclear bomb. The whole situation is reminiscent of the war in Iraq claiming they had weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). No WMDs were ever found there either. POTUS George Bush Jr. didn't win a Nobel prize for his efforts in causing a regime change in Iraq. Every now and then, POTUS is tasked with putting countries with non-white leaders *troublemakers* out of business. in the meantime, the supposed *enemies* are allowed to have nuclear and biological weapons and WMDs. A full buffet of world-changing destruction. Geopolitical games.😎

I'm just as contemptuous when it comes to dirt-bag dudes who take advantage of others and skanks & ex-skanks affectionately known as 304s.🤣 Agreed. I didn't hear enough to warrant a RICO conviction. The main point of the exercise was to paint Diddy as a pervert and a dirt-bag. Regardless of the verdict, they have succeeded on all accounts in putting a lid on the trashcan of his image.😎

In the latest news, there was supposed to be a cease-fire yesterday. Both sides fired off missiles before the deadline. This infuriated POTUS OJ to which he exclaimed, "they don't know what the f8ck they're doing".🤣😎

Lesser of two evils. Neither side gives a sh8t about Black folks. I wouldn't be surprised if they have Black folks as boots on the ground. Expendables. Black folks definitely need to fall back. As the late Dick Gregory said, "this isn't about us". Let white folks settle their own differences. As it relates to other groups of people, Black folks need to accept that "we have no friends".😎

Yet, the media isn't covering rich white men facing similar allegations. The current POTUS is the last rich white man they dragged through it and landed back in the White House. Well, I hope Tyler Perry doesn't settle or have to pay anything. This is celebrity extortion.😎

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. 😎
