it was a very entertaining movie. Well done on all levels. Again I am not watching a documentary and I understand it was for entertainment and again they did a great job. 
 

Glad you also enjoyed the movie.

Not to get @Pioneer1 even more stirred up...

But, I did find it odd that the king had a gay man servant. African men don't play that sh8t.

I'm also questioning whether or not Russia's war with the Ukraine is a "serious" one.

I know people are getting killed and property is being destroyed, but we know the Racists will do this for "fun".

Bingo.

Wars boost the economy. Human suffering too.

Human beings are expendable as evidenced by the fact that millions of people have died in wars throughout history. Same thing applies to diseases.

Everything about this conflict is enriching others. Interesting that it started as the pandemic was waning. 

Watch their hands. Follow the money. 

OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) are Algeria, Angola, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, the Republic of the Congo, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Venezuela.

IMO, OPEC is primarily controlled by the strongest super power on the planet...the USA. But, we play these shell games.

Of course, individuals should decide whether or not they want to wear a mask indoors. 

But. I hope folks stop wearing masks while driving alone. Looks ridiculous.

In order to satisfy Russia and snub the US, OPEC will be decreasing oil production by 2 million barrels per day. 

After a couple months of falling gas prices, expect it to creep back up just in time for the holiday season. 

I'm not surprised that it's being allowed to happen. Politicians are good at playing both sides against the middle. Follow the money. Watch their hands.

When our community is in crisis mode, the women will have to learn to let the men BE men and protect the community. 

Rest assured that alpha-men will rise in crisis mode. Women, children and weak links will be made to fall back.

I'm still at zero chance the former POTUS goes to prison.

In fact, I believe he's more likely to get re-elected than to put on a jumpsuit matching his skin color.

I still maintain he hasn't been the same since his mother died.

He really hasn't been the same since he was taken against his will to get some sort of shock treatment some years back.
I think that did more damage to his mind.

You have more compassion than I do.

I cannot give Kanye a pass for his actions especially knowing his back story.

I believe he uses everything in his life to maintain his celebrity.

Again, Kanye is not a *dumb* dude (unintelligent) by any stretch of the imagination. Quite the opposite actually.

Does The Woman King show Black men and women loving and embracing eachother?
Or does it show Black men and women at odds, fighting eachother, and killing eachother?

Not that kind of movie to show Black folks loving each other.

Considering the storyline, the woman warriors are fighting and killing men. 

However, the king (a dude) does have several wives. I know that would be right up your alley.

But, there are no s8x scenes and the women aren't showing their breasts.

Again, it's not that kinda film. Think along the lines of Wonder Woman minus flying and special powers. 

@Pioneer1, Harlem Nights is a classic AfroAmerican movie. Funny as h8ll.

Yep. Mumble-mouth Herschel is still in the race as abortions fall out of his closet. White supporters are claiming it's not a big deal. His policy promises are more important.

I'm beginning to come to the conclusion that White racists are trying to pull a "slick" move by using foolish Black people to be the MASK of their diabolical agenda.

Man, where have you been hiding for several decades.

For a long time, they have been plying foolish n8gglets with money, drugs, white women and whatever else they want in order to secure their allegiance and directly or indirectly promote a racist agenda. 

White folks are very good at holding their nose and doing whatever it takes to use Black folks.

Exhibit A... a dude like Kanye is an easy mark. Look at how those Kartrashians twisted his azz up like a pretzel. That's why he says dumb sh8t and is now wearing that ridiculous t-shirt.

They won't be allowed to hide among US...that's for sure!

Unfortunately, if there any big mommas among us, they will tell us to let those boot lickin n8gglets in the yard while giving them that Aunt Esther side-eye.

We'd have to take the sellouts to the woodshed for deprogramming.

Yep.  Unfortunately, there are Black folks who believe they have arrived beyond the point of white folks hatred. 

Kanye is not a dumb guy.  He knows better.  But, I think he's gotten so intoxicated from fame and money that his desire to remain relevant has him out here in these streets playing loose and reckless.  He's gambling with his celebrity.

As long as Kanye is willing to play the game, white folks will continue to enrich him.  Apparently, in Kanye's case, whatever it profits a man to live lavish right now is worth the price of his soul.

If/when white folks decide it's open season on killing Black folks, I'd be slightly curious to see where Kanye, Candace, Clarence, Larry, Herschel and Diamond and Silk to name a few are going to hide when the bullets start flying.

What!? Okay, I need to pause and tag some of these Black men in this community...

@Pioneer1, @ProfDYou don't hear what he is saying!?

My sista, I have read what dude has posted and while I applaud others for engaging with him, 1) I typically stay out of these types of discussions and 2) I'm wondering if he's a  troll. A few comments in his posts have definitely raised my brow.

Unfortunately for me, I LOVE turkey legs! I love turkey wings too, etc.

There is something about turkey legs and wings that reminds me of this:

Otherwise, if I didn't love that yard bird pimp aka chicken, I could almost be a vegetarian. 

I don't care for chicken on steroids either. 

Don't know if it's just a local thing but some places sell chicken parts that look like turkey legs and wings.

Folks think they are getting more for their money buying and eating those over-sized wings.  None for me please. 

The latest news on mumble-mouth Herschel Walker is that he paid for an abortion. Also, his son has put him on blast too. 

Yet, the GOP is still riding with that dude. I'm sure they could have found a stronger candidate/clown. 

Two strikes against this spot...1) I'm not a fan of turkey legs. 2) As an old man, I no longer wait in long lines to be seated in a restaurant.

If I cannot be seated within a few minutes of walking in, I'll take my business elsewhere. There are plenty places to eat.

I'm sure the Turkey Hut has something on the menu I could appreciate. If/when I visit H-Town I'll check into it. No waiting around though.

Most Black folks.....including myself....enjoy the movie "The Color Purple"...lol.
But it was still a HIT on Black men.

It wouldn't be very effective propaganda if they didn't make it so that people enjoyed it and would easily accept it and take it in.

Gotcha.  As Black men, we definitely have to keep our heads on a swivel and stay informed because the hits are coming from several fronts.

Looks like Ye back on his BS again. This dude and Candace Owens definitely need to spend some time with the drop squad.

I'm inclined to say that democracy doesn't work AT ALL....lol.....but......

It seems to be keeping all h8ll from breaking loose in this country with a population of 345 million people. 

As mentioned jn another thread, America is such a melting that democracy is the only system that will work. Well, at least until a dictator rises up.

On a positive, it would be great for American leader(s) to emerge appealing to citizens regardless of their party affiliation and pulling both sides together.

Today it's about grabbing power and then EXERTING that power once you've acquired it.

I like it but democracy doesn't work that way.

Last POTUS found out the hard way with his azz in the seat. He couldn't get that wall half way built. 

Otherwise, one would have to be a dictator in order to exert that kind of power.

Although it's a rare occasion....lol....I don't like disagreeing with you.

It's all good bro, disagreement can lead to constructive dialog instead of an argument.

It will take a whole lot for AfroAmericans to dictate how federal funds are spent especially when we make up a small percentage of the population.

The 1st thing we'd have to do is convince middle- and working class and poor white folks that whatever we propose to do is within their best interests too.

Considering the love some of those white folks have for the GOP and their European ancestry and believing they are better off than Black folks...getting through to them will be a tough hill to climb.

...mass and rapid evacuation to already established shelter areas stocked with food, medicine, and other emergency supplies.

Agreed. That's along the lines of a contingency plan I was referring to above. 

Regardless of the financial or physical situation of the citizens, America can afford to provide the infrastructure for transportation and safe harbor and care under any circumstance whether it's a natural disaster or an attack or a war.

Unfortunately, the real America is motivated by money:

It's really the responsibility of government  to get these types of things done. Instead, they leave it up to capitalists.
