  1. Shannon Sharpe is over 50 years old. Either his momma was ahead of her time or as @Troy mentioned, it's been a gender neutral name for a long time. Senior citizens in training.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  2. Of course, you all are correct. White folks have stolen almost everything they have from Black folks, remixed and sold it back to the world including us.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  3. Facts. White folks started fraternal orders and Greek letter organizations for a reason i.e. power networking. They excluded non-white folks for a long time. On cue, n8gglets just had to have their own version of that BS. Of course, it does not hold similar power or weight. Good excuse to gather and party though.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  4. Sure. If a trans-dude doesn't announce himself before things get out of hand, he's taking a chance with his own life. There is a whole movement underway that is trying to get men to accept things that are out of order like a toilet. Men should not be able to become women and compete in sports nor should a trans-man be able to use a women's bathroom. Same goes for a trans-woman. She shouldn't be playing men's sports and hanging in the men's locker room either. Children do not get to pick and choose their gender. That is a decision they are free to make when capable of taking care of themselves. Men should not even be entertaining such foolishness. Correct. Nobody can be turned into something else. I'm all for live and let live. Deceiving people does not fall under that banner. Rosie the Riverter was very real during WW2. It was catchy. Fast-forward to the auto factories when manufacturing was predominantly stateside. They were not filled with Rosies. To this day, the majority of blue collar jobs are still held by men.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  5. I believe Shannon Sharpe is innocent to the extent that he and his accuser had s8x multiple times. Also, there is a chain of text messages back and forth between them where the accuser is initiating it. Even if she said *no* 1 time out of 100, they have a history there. Why the lawsuit all of a sudden? Between the lawyer involved and timeframe, something doesn't add up. This thing will be get dropped way before it hits the courtroom. Not before it spreads mud on Shannon Sharpe though. These n8gglets need to be serious about 1) getting signed NDAs (Non-Disclosure Agreements) and 2) paying for escort services. These dudes have enough money to pay high-class prostitutes. Stop shopping for snatch box in the bargain bin at Dollar Tree. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  6. While someone might take offense or perceive it that way, the statement isn't anti-gay or anti-feminist or anti-snowflake. It is a matter of interpretation. Least of my worries. I'm extremely confident in my combat and tactical abilities. Neither a gay nor a straight man wants that smoke. Sure...anybody can work the call center. ๐Ÿ˜ I'm referring to the heaviest lifting. When it is time to move concrete and steel or mass debris clean-up and rebuilding structures, men will be expected to handle it.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  7. Right. I'm not chauvinistic but if someone else sees me that way, I'm not going argue against it. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. While I'm not a chauvinist, I totally reject the p8ssification of men and the war on masculinity. I'm never going to accept that men should be weak vessels in any shape, form or fashion. I am unapologetically a cisgender man. If I had a chance to die and come back alive 40 times, I would choose to be a man every single time. Maybe 1 time out of 40 I would be a male lion.๐Ÿคฃ When the rubber meets the road and sh8t has to get done in order for humans to survive...people will be relying on men to do the heavy lifting and whatever it takes up to violence and killing to protect our existence. If there is a natural disaster or an alien invasion, I seriously doubt that society will be rounding up the alphabet soup community or feminists or any other assortment of snowflakes to handle that business. ๐Ÿ˜ Everybody will be waiting to see what the men are going to do about it. I'm perfectly capable of and fine with having that responsibility. I take pride in it.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  8. Despite the way I post around here, I do practice silence at times. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  9. IMO, men are not threatened by the alphabet soup movement. Men will not be forced into accepting the movement or war on masculinity or p8ssification of society. First, a man should know what he's dealing with before it goes that far. A dude who's unwilling to tell the truth and let another man go far enough to discover he's not a real woman is taking a chance in signing his own death certificate. The joke, er, toe-tag is on him.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  10. Shannon Sharpe is the latest celebrity Black man to be targeted by attorney Tony Buzbee who likes to file nuisance lawsuits against rich Black men. Buzbee is the same attorney who went after DeShaun Watson, Diddy and Jay-Z. Despite Sharpe having had an ongoing relationship with his accuser with text messages and video, the attorney is pursuing the case as if Sharpe violated her. Interestingly enough, Shannon Sharpe was set to get a $100 million bag for his broadcasting services. Remains to be seen how this lawsuit plays out and how it affects his money. Black men especially those who have money really need to 1) stop believing they have the same privileges as white men, 2) do a better job of protecting themselves from predators and 3) more importantly....learn how to fight back. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  11. While it may be weaponized, the religion isn't responsible for radicalizing people. I was referring to terrorists who happen to be Muslims. Maher has stated that Israel should be able to do whatever it takes to eliminate the group responsible for Oct. 7th. In order to carry out that mission, innocent people in Gaza will be casualties. There is a difference between clowning and demonization. We cannot control how people react to it. Cool. I've already mentioned it. I think Maher will go back to clowning POTUS OJ as the opportunity arises.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  12. Of course it is not. However, Maher believes Islam is responsible for radicalizing people of the Muslim faith into becoming terrorists. He refuses to acknowledge why they hate America. If/when the US talks about strikes against them, Maher is totally onboard with it. Being anti-Christian, Maher clowns the faith but he doesn't demonize evangelicals for their overtly racist views. Sure. Maher would be perfectly fine with wiping Gaza off the map including the innocent people who live there. Not sure what you mean here. I clown the alphabet community like any other group. I certainly don't demonize them. I believe people should live their best lives to the fullest extent as along as it doesn't bring hurt, harm or danger to others.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  13. Black folks don't want to live anywhere near rednecks. There's enough land in this country to develop communities where everybody can have their piece and not have to live within proximity of folks they don't want to be around. White folks have whole states, cities and towns, etc. to themselves. Not a Black person in sight. The crazy part is many Black folks have been winning despite the shade and obstacles throw by the system of racism white supremacy. Right. Regardless of what they have or have not, the *white privilege* of being considered better than Black folks is most important to them.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  14. Instead of demonizing Muslims and criticizing what he thinks ia *woke* in America, Maher could use his platform to speak out against racism white supremacy. I know plenty white folks who wouldn't consider themselves racists or race suspects. However, considering the system of racism white supremacy is still intact, they haven't proven anything. Dismantling the system of racism white supremacy isn't about turning the country over to Black folks. The goal should be to replace the system of racism white supremacy with a system of justice which is balance and fairness. Gotcha. Muslim women have been indoctrinated into the same beliefs ss their men when if comes to religion and anti-imperialism.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  15. AfroAmericans are too divided to come up with a new party and everything it entails. That is the main reason reparations is a non-starter issue. Streamline the list down to three (3) issues that everyone can benefit regardless. Once any particular group is isolated, that will cause folks to tune out because it is not their issue. For example, anything that has to do with AfroAmericans and especially when it comes to reparations will distance white folks and some n8gglets too. White folks don't see why they should be responsible for repaying the sins of their fathers. Nevermind the wealth that was built on slavery. Ignorant, self-hating azz n8gglets don't believe AfroAmericans deserve any form of repayment because slavery was a long time ago. One of the platforms the current administration ran on was putting a stop to illegal immigration. A whole bunch of white folks on both sides of the aisle (red and blue) could get with that program. That's why there is real outrage or backlash against the way folks are being deported. Don't be fooled by white folks talking about it. Definitely not the racists but nor are the bleeding heart liberals doing a d8mn thing about insuring due process under the law. A MD senator showed up in El Salvador to have coffee and donuts with an improperly deported dude. Photo-op moment. Political football. According to the media, border crossings have decreased by over 90% since January 2025 when POTUS OJ was elected and DHS, ICE, DOJ and the border czar started getting busy. A focus on making those pockets fatter is a message a majority of people will support. Universal healthcare and increased social benefits will be icing on the cake. A diehard redneck will turn blue if he's promised a brand new Ford F-150 pick-up truck and updated double-wide trailer for him and the cousin he married and bore his children. ๐Ÿคฃ Whether it is a new political party or a renewed Democratic party, it will need a charismatic leader who can sell the program and bridge the divide in this country.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  16. Not sure what old Nostradamus' read is on this iteration of the papacy.๐Ÿคฃ However, the conclave starts next week. The dudes wearing dresses, er, robes and pointy hats are going to lock themselves in a room to cast their votes until they select a new Pope. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  17. A powerless group of people cannot afford to be racist. Anyone can be a bigot. No doubt Minister Farrakhan is prejudiced against white folks. He does not have the power to subjugate them. Bill Maher is a member of the group who created the system of racism white supremacy. That makes him a racist or race suspect untl he proves otherwise. Does that only apply to Muslim men or their women too? Muslims definitely don't appear to be as liberal and free-spirited as other groups of people. There is a reason behind the way Muslims move and live. They don't want to end up imperialized like us...Black folks.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  18. This could be a warm-up gig *if* they have a bigger play in mind.๐Ÿ˜ Already, Senator Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are running around the country doing townhall events. Booker and Jeffries along with a few of their colleagues could also join forces to do the same. Before they can organize a movement, the first thing Democrats need is a strong message. The Dems cannot merely whine and complain about what POTUS OJ and GOP are doing. The people need to know what they plan to do to make their lives better. The Dems need solid candidates up and down the ballots to deliver on it. The message cannot be a Hope and Change slogan this time around. That one has already been played out.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  19. https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-prince-william-outfits-pope-francis-funeral-raise-eyebrows-2064516 The Vatican put out a specific dress code for the Pope's funeral this past weekend. POTUS OJ, POTUS PJB and Prince William did not adhere to the memo. They chose to wear some shade of blue suit. Of course, POTUS OJ was the most notorious offender to the dress code. Zero class.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  20. I've listened to him enough to hear what comes out of his own mouth. Check out the way he demonizes Islam and Muslims. Right. We are all entitled to see racists and racism through our own lens. I believe all white folks are racist or race suspects until they prove otherwise. Why? Until white folks do something to dismantle the system of racism white supremacy, I believe they are perfectly fine enjoying the privileges and benefits that come with it. While they seem like polar opposites on the surface, folks like Bill Maher and POTUS OJ are shining examples of it. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  21. Understood. Not being an alpha definitely does not strip away manhood. Those types of dudes quickly find out they are not alphas when they end up in the penitentiary or child support court.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  22. Well, I didn't see the point in Senator Cory Booker's 25 hour filibuster a month or so ago. However, this sit-in on the steps of the Capitol was a great idea in providing citizens with access to elected officials and making their voices heard. Kudos to Senator Cory Booker and Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries for providing a townhall styled platform for other elected officials and speakers to address legislation and issue(s) facing millions of Americans. Otherwise, the white men who control the highest levels of power and greed do not appear to have any use for religion or morality in their decision-making whether it's killing millions of people and/or keeping them impoverished. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  23. Of course not every male can be an alpha which is why the alphabet exists.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  24. POTUS OJ doesn't need non-Black folks to increase his wealth and power. They are the condiments and garnish on his main meal. Mayor Adams is merely running from one pimp into the Cadillac of another. Either way, he's still gonna be pimped out. Prostitutes think the same way. They don't wannna s8ck and f8ck 95% of their tricks but it's part of the *job*. Bill Maher is the most dangerous racist. He's an educated *heathen* comedian who engages in pseudo-intellectual, sociopolitical discourse. Racists love folks like Maher and POTUS OJ for their fearlessness to speak the things mainy of them are unwilling to say out loud...confirmation bias. Non-Black folks are gullible enough to sleep with these dudes and/or hang around them as if they're not enemies who would kill them if/when necessary.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  25. Definitely. Gotta take years, mileage, baggage and gravity into consideration. Yep. Makes for fun conversation piece leading up to playtime after the biscuits pop out.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
