A few things allow people to be lazy whether it is mental or physical. The lack of a work ethic is the main thing. Religion can leave folks on stuck and lazy. *Hard* work pays off in many ways. Absolutely. I believe James 2:14-26 addresses it mostly commonly by "faith without works is dead”.

Sure. Individuals can work for whomever they choose. A man cannot serve two masters. Especially if his desire is to become free and wealthy. Their numbers are relatively low in higher level management of white companies. Starting a business takes capital. It's hard to do without money.

@richardmurray, I haven't seen numbers reflecting annual percentage of revenues boycotted companies receive from Black folks. I believe that if Black folks account for anything less than 20% of annual revenue, boycotting won't put a dent in the profits of the big conpanies.

Makes sense especially if AfroAmericans don't own the company themselves. White folks and non-Black business owners are not obligated to provide jobs to AfroAmericans. No matter how hard they're willing to work for them. AfroAmericans should have their own businesses and companies and work for themselves. In less than a decade (10 years), it will become more evident that AfroAmericans need to be more self-sufficient. AfroAmericans cannot trust or rely on any other group of people. We have no friends.

Yet, when FBA bring up reparations for slavery folks claim they don't know where to start when it comes to doing the math. We could just as easily start with a number like $15 trillion dollars and work from there.

What other purpose does TikTok serve beyond entertainment? Books are another form of entertainment. Writing a bestseller book doesn't have to be exploitative. Former FLOTUS Michelle Obama got a bag of money from her book deal. There are several ways to make money through entertainment without exploiting people.

I believe 1st time in office POTUS OJ didn't fully 1) know the whole game and 2) have his own hand-selected people in place. Just when POTUS OJ started figuring out how to execute the agenda, the pandemic hit and made him a lame duck. That's why the administration is moving so fast this 2nd time around. POTUS OJ is trying to do everything he promised to the GOP base and his big money handlers very quickly. No time to waste. The 77 million people who voted for POTUS OJ are perfectly fine with others being unemployed while eating expensive eggs.

The meteorologists on local news outlets will remind folks of Daylight Savings Time (DST). DST is supposed to go away in a few years. I forget why it's still ongoing at present. IMO, DST is pointless other than 1) messing up sleep patterns a couple days and 2) making folks believe the sun is out longer during the day. Days aren't getting any longer. Still 24 hours a pop.

Right. Reminds me of the dude making it rain with $20 bills in the strip club telling his family and friends he can't put $100 on groceries for the summer backyard BBQ.

It's no secret that a whole lot of ignorant people voted against their own self-interest. They FAFO (F8ck Around Found Out). As the late Dick Gregory told us, there's nothing Black folks can do about this sh8tshow. White folks will feel the wrath of this administration as it tries to rolll the country back to the 1950s. Collateral damage for Black folks.

Don't worry. The company will get around to firing those employees. They will be replaced with non-AfroAmericans.

Not brintg back literally but a lot of the money foreigners have was given to their governments by the US. Their leaders handed it out to family and friends in the form of business contracts. Bringing money into the US will supposedly reduce the debt. It's BS but they'll keep lying to the American people. The benefit is maintaining class divides. Rich get richer. Greedy people always need more South Africa has 55 million Black/Coloured people and 4 million white folks. They math makes all forms of white power in a Black country ridiculous. That's the intelligence one should question. It makes zero sense that so few people can run a whole country. They are already here. I was in NYC last year. The Ukrainians had a huge gathering in Times Square on the 2nd anniversary of the conflict. Flags waving. Music blaring. They were deep. The US willl definitely be importing more white folks especially when the dust settles on the conflict.

POTUS OJ is definitely pro--rich. Bring that money back to the US. White South Africans aren't nearly as well armed and violent as southern white folks here in the US. The main reason white folks are stockpiling guns is knowing they wiill be the minority compared to non-whites. They're willing to import more white folks from other countries to serve ss a buffer class with the perk of enjoying life here in the US. Otherwise, trust and believe white folks here in the US are not afraid of non-whites...not one bit. White folks would have no problem going to war against non-whites. In fact, they would enjoy it.

You rang. Black and Brown immigrants are willing to do the jobs and work for wages many AfroAmericans aren't willing to do. I'm not surprised that a majority of AfroAmericans aren't aspiring to those *Black* jobs POTUS OJ mentioned.

Social media is the modern equivalent of TV. Most folks will use it as entertainment. Plenty folks will make money from it. Understood. People will always use some form of entertainment in their lives. Figure out an alternative to social media as a time sink or form of entertainment and become very wealthy.

Many folks like the aforementioned are monetizing social media.

Fred Hampton said far less than Minister Louis Farrakhan and he was murdered by the gov't. He didn't have security.

Mayor Bowser adopted an infant child several years ago. She might fetching beers for her *boo* when they're chilling at the crib.

They are definitely a product of the times in which we live. Social media is tool.

Merely having a solid defense is a deterrent. The FOI has provided security for others. Let's hope we never have to find out. Not sure of where this is coming from but of all the fiery things Minister Louis Farrakhan has said over several decades the NOI has never been attacked.

Right. My idea of being prepared to defend oneself means having more than enough weapons and a high proficiency in using them and/or a small militia for protection. The Nation of Islam has the FOI (Fruit of Islam) for similar reason. Those brothas are highly trained to get active should the need arise.

Nah, the Mayor is too young for my tastes. The way she rolls has led folks to speculate that she might be a closet member of the alphabet soup community.

The reason I mention it's helpful to know (history) how Black folks were able to build a Black Wall Street is important. The oil boom brought a ton of money to Oklahoma. The Black folks living in Tulsa benefitted from it too. Black folks used that oil wealth to build their own town. The white folks could not stand to see Black folks living so well. They destroyed the town. Up to present, no matter how much wealth Black folks accumulate, most are not prepared to defend themselves in protecting it.

Mayor Bowser is a cutie pie. The jury is still out on her preference. We think she only likes men as colleagues. Zero interest cavorting with a man otherwise.

Righrlt now, the Democrats look lke rudderless and pathetic losers. No game plan to regain power. Just sour-faced opposition. They sang We Shall Overcome during the censure vote. Rep. Jasmine Crockett is the most vocal member of the Democratic party. She's yapping every time there's a camera. The other day she was dancing in a YouTube or TikTok video. Meanwhile, POTUS Orange Jackazz is scrawling with his pen signing executive orders and shaking down world leaders and talking on every camera and steamrolling his program through and busting shots at the Democrats. Busiest 45 days we've ever seen. Again, the Democrats need to regroup and come up with a leader(s) and agenda. Otherwise, the GOP will be running sh8t for the next decade or longer In rolling America back to the 1950s with white power on full display.
