Right. The man who recognizes the difference between attraction and interest and accepts it won't be under any illusion or unnecessary confusion. Move according to the same energy and vibe that woman is giving off. Good money.

Sure. Some men will use women to survive: No different from women using men. Being able to quickly recognize and accept when a woman isn't interested makes it easier to keep it moving and spend that time, energy and resources on a real one. Hiring unqualified people is the best way to insure a business runs into the ground. For good reason, I've got family members who don't know where I live.

Deploying the national guard was a distraction. The shooting was a really unfortunate event. The American people won't allow the pedo-files to get buried. That doesn't mean they're going to get any real answers and/or closure.

A man needs money In order to survive within this system. Instead of admiring his manhood, that time and energy would be better spent figuring out how to secure a bag. Not at all. The laws of mutual attraction still work. If a man is unattractive, he needs to figure out and correct it. Men don't have to *trick* or simp in order to get a woman. The problem is that some men want women who aren't attracted to them. No doubt. Women are entitled to roll that way. Absolutely. They're also entitled to roll that way too. As I mentioned in the food thread, owning the process is the only way to insure quality control. Depending on others is a gamble.

Yep. N8gglets like *Damon* and the female version *Dawn* have been around for a long time. They were allowed to spawn too. That's how Black communities ended up with crack babies and other dysfunctional n8gglets.

https://gomag.com/article/cynthia-erivo-defends-ariana-grande-from-fan-attack-and-then-lands-gqs-man-of-the-year-cover/ Well, Cynthia Erivo is among British GQ's Men of the Year. Black folks have been acknowledging the shade treatment for decades. We can only stare at something up to a point before it's time to take action. Black folks are probably too tired to protest or do anything about it. No problem. Hollywood is purposely looking for non-FBA/AfroAmerican people to play roles in movies and on TV. FBA and AfroAmericans are being replaced everywhere...on screens, jobs and voting booths.

Of course, the system of racism white supremacy will use everything it can against the Black man. None of our positive atrributes changes out net overall position under the same system. It's not like white folks are gonna say...oh wow...let's give this big d*ck n8gga a billion dollars. A man should not spend too much time with women who judge him. Kicking it with women who are naturally attracted is less stressful. Gotcha. It was a mix where I grew. Some dudes had good paying jobs. Their unemployed, broke *friends* met them at the liquor store after they got from work with plastic cup in hand waiting to get a hit off the bottle. Those were the days though. We didn't have a whole lot. Shelter, clothing, food, music, laughter, etc. Fun times. I know NF Jr. had issues with Black folks too much fun. Sure. Some women will settle for a man who can blow her back out. Even if she doesn't need his money or protection, women prefer men who can take care of themselves. That broke dude who f8cks well becomes less attractive and desirable to a woman especially if he's needy or unambitious or lacks motivation. Right. Black folks should own the condom, alcohol and drug manufacturing and distribution companies among others.

Hollywood owns the content. Black folks have to protest if we don't like the images of how we are being portrayed. Black folks have to produce the content that shows the best of us. We cannot expect non-Black folks to do right by us. Cynthia Erivo is the Black British woman in the green make-up. Black replacement is a whole nother conversation.

The boule Black folks have always existed too. They had a problem with the Blackest of us. Hollywood ultimately controls the content. In part, we can thank the boule n8gglets for downplaying our Blackness. Tiger Woods said it out loud when he classified himself as Cablinasian. Opened the floodgates of racial identity confusion. Until Black folks own the game of life, there's little or nothing we can do about it. Thankfully, I'll be dead and gone when Black becomes more diluted to the point of white chocolate.

Confident men don't brag or boast about their manhood or toughness or bank account balance. Those who need to know will find out. They were usually broke too. Hyper-fixation on manhood and/or s8xual prowess is considered juvenile. Most men have a d*ck. Not every man is capable of provision and protection which is the thing women most desire. Makes sense from a money-making perspective especially if men feel better about themselves.

Right. We didn't do enough. Late 1980s/early 1990s there was a nouveau-Black Pride movement strarted by the Hip-Hop community. Several groups (X-Clan, Public Enemy, Jungle Brothers, De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, Common Sense, etc.) were conscious in contrast to the party and gangsta. The Malcolm X movie had dudes wearing X hats. They were wearing Afrocentric mediallions too. TV shows like Cosby, A Different World, Martin and Living Single were pro-Black but showed us in a upwardly mobile light. Black folks on the west coast have been wearing permed and colored hair and colored contacts for several decades. They grew up watching Black folks integrate into the professional world. There's no shortage of non-wealthy Black men procreating outside the race. College campuses and job sites got Black dudes hooking up with snow bunnies. Black men in the military are procreating with non-Black women around the world. That's why Black folks look like the united colors of benetton. Black men have been mixing it up doing for many decades going all the way back to world wars. Tiger Woods and Naomi Osaka are byproducts of Black men planting seeds in non-Black fertile soil. It was only a matter of time before Black women spread a little sunshine elsewhere.

Right. The real question is who would be interested in and/or need that kind of information. Maybe condom manufacturers need a d*ck data report to insure they are not under-serving the community. Sure. Observing women azz is something us older dudes have done for decades for FREE. However, with AI coming down the pike, I'm just wondering if these younger dudes can monetize azz watching by generating scientific reports. That's a job AI cannot do...yet.

That would be hilarious if there is a d*ck data scientific report floating around. I wonder how much money it pays to observe women azz all day.

I don't believe peer pressure has millions pf folks traveling all over the country to eat and drink. Most folks know how to keep the ratchet at bay. NF jr. would have said something along those line. Most American families are adjusted above dysfunction. They are relatively intact too. Gotta look beyond the ghettos and trailer parks.

The Asians say " you break-y...you buy".

The Black Power movement of the 1970s is a distant memory even among Black folks who grew up during that time. These 1980s and later born Black folks may not represent Blackness to any significant degree over time.

The downside to not growing producing and our own food. We're at the mercy of whoever controls the food supply. The government is only going to regulate the industries up to a point. For those who are religious...pray over everything you eat. I've heard prayer changes things.

Sadly, one of the shooting victims, a 20 year old female, has died. She was on duty so that others could spend the holiday with their families.

Thanks bro. Right. Nobody is dressing up in the clothes, hats and shoes of that time period. Everything listed makes it a great time for people to gather. However, I also realize holidays can be bittersweet for people who have lost loved ones or don't have family and/or friends. Oh well...more food, drinks, desserts, laughter and fun for everyone else.

Superiority in those areas does not lead to power and money though. At least, it hasn't worked on white folks yet. Religion still works well enough. No shortage of churches and rich pastors and Gospel singers. Believing another person is a possession is fools gold. That woman isn't *yours* as a possession anymore than she was to the last man and the next one. Not quite like buying a used car. Very few people want to share the person with whom they're intimate. Funny thing is they don't seem to care who came before or after them. I wasn't referring to physical strength and/or over-powering women by force. My definition of strong men is those who have some combination of good looks, intelligence, charm, charisma, money, power and respect. That's what I wss referring to above as characteristics of strong men. As I've pointed out to brotha Rich...my dialog is never intended to dismiss or challenge or convince anyone else. I'm just providing content to the discussion. Keeps the subjects interesting around here...to some of us. Our sista gets bored easily.

A lot of people do not celebrate holidays foe different reasons. It's all good. I'm one of those men who loves to eat and cook. A woman will never be able to starve me. In fact, most women don't want any parts of the kitchen once they have eaten whatever I cook. Absolutely. Time spent with family and friends and celebrating folks should happen whenever time permits. Holidays just give folks a date to make plans for their gatherings especially when travel is involved.

Well, today is the American holiday where folks gather with family and friends in food, fun and fellowship. Eat, drink and enjoy however you so choose. I know the history behind *holidays* but I do not skip them for the aforementioned reasons. I use holidays as a time to further build and connect with my tribe. Every several years, my birthday happens to fall on Thanksgiving Day. When that happens, I don't have to cook anything for the family dinner. I'll pull up, eat, enjoy my folks and watch football games. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

White people are not jealous or insecure of Black folks for any reason. They have been conditioned to believe they are superior to us hence white supremacy. White people will do whatever it takes to maintain power and_or make money. They will transform themselves physically in order to attract, manipulate and dominate non-white folks. Look no further than how Kanye West has been manipulated by white folks. He is a modern example of how Black men are buck broken. No shortage of Black athletes and entertainers and others have been hoodwinked, bamboozled, led astray and run amok by shape-shifting, code-switching white folks. The easiest way to for white folks to trick Black folks is with s8x and money. It is petty for a man to gatekeeper ovens he cannot afford to maintain himself. Sure. Some women will be flattered by it until that man goes upside her head. Even in other cultures, the strongest men can have several women. A man with less currency (money, power, respect, etc.) has fewer choices. That could lead to jealousy, insecurity and gatekeeping the one bird he can catch and/or was provided to him.

It won't take much to justify them sending more troops. The troop deployment on targets Black cities. The perpetrator of the shooting does not fit the description of the people being policed. He drove from the west coast to DC to make his point. In fact, the Afghan dude came to the US as a political refugee. He worked for the US government and helped the American military when they were in his home country. The current administration nationalized him. That isn't going to stop azz POTUS OJ from ordering his administration to scrutinize every refugee. That immigration net might be cast a little wider. Again, the knee jerk reaction will not solve the problems. Fixing the policies and how they are treating people is the only way to stop people from becoming radicalized and taking action into their own hands.

Got it. A handful of mostly anonymous Black folks were kidnapped by white folks and enslaved and forced to breed since the 1970s. Of course, many folks in unhealthy situations; bad relationships and marriages can make a claim that they are enslaved and forced to breed too.
