  1. I agree that she probably did not have a concussion. I do think the strike was intentional.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  2. Bro, that relocatable, er, trailer chick really rubbed you the wrong way.๐Ÿคฃ If one has a sense of humor, the funniest thing about racist folks is the poorest among them still think they are better than us.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  3. Look at the picture in the last link that I provided. The YouTube picture may have super-imposed two shots from the same facility visit. The bottom line remains the same...DHS Secretary Noem went down for a photo op. The men are imprisoned in those cells and cubbies as shown in the pics. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  4. Not going to happen. Other men come from a culture where they are going to see her as a woman and treat her accordingly. The funny part is most Black women will act differently towards a non-Black man. Not because that man did anything special to deserve it. Black men will have a tougher row to hoe especially with our women as long as the system of racism white supremacy exists.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  5. I grabbed the pic from this video: https://youtu.be/LEKzdesOwjo?t=29 Here are other article links containing similar pics: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/kristi-noem-el-salvador-prison-photo-op-new-low https://www.newsweek.com/photos-show-kristi-noems-visit-through-notorious-el-salvadoran-prison-2051165 https://wng.org/sift/noem-visits-el-salvador-prison-holding-deportees-1743088067 Both DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and AG Pam Bondi seem intent on proving to POTUS OJ that they are tough.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  6. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem went down to El Salvador to check out the facility and she took that photo. She's been on raids too. This administration is a cabinet full of clowns who are doing way too much. Especially when it comes to flexing their idea of law and order.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  7. Absolutely. From cloning to colonizing other celestial bodies and building space stations, it's all about self-preservation for them. Especially if sh8t goes sideways here on Earth.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  8. Maybe Oklahoma is different is but I doubt the Dollar Store there is selling Cisco and Boone. Probably a local spiked kool-aid calling it wine.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  9. The optics of this sh8t are terrible. Of course, racist white folks are delighted to see these young men being deported and treated as sub-humans. It won't be too funny if/when they start rounding up political enemies and other citizens and sending them to a prison in El Salvador. I'm curious to see how far the American people will let this BS go on before they say enough.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  10. They were thirsty and looking for cheap soft drinks.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  11. https://www.express.co.uk/news/science/2038534/dire-wolves-cloned-extinction-scientists In this episode of dumb sh8t scientists do, a company has supposedly brought back the extinct dire wolf. The article details how they did it. There is a mention of bringing back the wooly mammoth too. Scientists have been cloning animals for a long time. As far as we know, most of the cloned animals do not survive for very long. However, if these animals are being used to produce GMOs (genetically modified organisms) and whatnot for human consumption, it probably doesn't matter how long they live. I digress... Skeptical scientists believe this dire wolf is a hybrid. I still question the need to bring it back from extinction. Even if the red wolf population is shrinking, that doesn't make it necessary to bring back a species. Just encourage the red wolves to reproduce more abundantly. At any rate, surely scientists will claim this research brings them closer to creating life or preserving it or both. I'd still rather scientists waste, er, use time and money to come up with cures for incurable human diseases. Not that folks need to live past current life expectancy. Curing diseases will give more people a chance of making it to 79 years old or longer. Otherwise, I doubt that bringing dire wolves back will do a d8mn thing in that regard.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  12. There is a way to do exactly what you are describing. Wealthy people have been doing it for forever.๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜Ž
  13. Absolutely. Being steeped in Go-Go music is one of the reasons I'm DC for life. ๐Ÿ˜ As a musician and music lover in general, I have a deep appreciation for all types of music. From a historical perspective, I know that it was Black folks who brought flavor to every genre of music either directly or indirectly.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  14. There is no such thing as trying to be an alpha male around white men or anybody else. Regardless of race, there is a difference between alpha, beta and sigma men in society. An inmate cannot be an alpha male in prison any more than a lion can be king of the zoo.๐Ÿคฃ Black men do not occupy power positions that can eliminate racist threats. That is beyond a matter of politics. A Black man should not use his masculinity to threaten racist white men. He should use it to gain and maintain power.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  15. Right. I'll believe Starbucks is *losing* money when the Hocus Pocus Frappuccino price drops from $13.90 down to $3. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  16. It's all good. Dollar stores are closer than Wal-Mart in some areas. Easy to run in and grab snacks and other products that aren't worth driving further away.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  17. Right. Most women are totally fine with and attracted to alpha males. There is a movement that has been pushing the belief in toxic masculinity and acceptance of the p*ssification of men. Real men don't give it too much oxygen knowing that when sh8t goes sideways everyone will be looking at us to handle it. When that times comes, those who aren't on the frontlines, alpha women, snowflakes, power bottoms, etc., can sit on the sidelines cheerleading until the dust settles.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  18. The Dollar Tree price hike to $1.25 or more has been in effect for several years now. They used the pandemic to raise prices. Family Dollar and Dollar General have always been charging more than $1 for items except when it's on sale or clearance.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  19. Alpha males totally ignore that narrative. Look no further than the current POTUS. He grabs snatch boxes and talks sh8t and doesn't give a f8ck what anybody else thinks about him, ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  20. It appears POTUS OJ is doing exactly what he promised his base over the course of 900+ rallies. The MAGA folks will ride with him until the wheels fall off or longer. That talk of a 3rd term is ridiculous. Well see how it plays out. I believe the universe wil prevent it.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  21. Hip-Hop music, cable TV, internet and a 24/7365 media cycle makes it easier for white folks (men and women) to cosplay certain aspects of Black folks. I can see how and why white dudes would be more confident approaching Black women. Especially if they hear narratives that 1) there aren't enough Black men for every Black woman and 2) Black men are broke, lazy and irresponsible. Then, Black athletes and entertainers are picking up white women semi-regularly. Maybe white dudes feel they can do the same thing.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  22. I didn't realize there was a debate.๐Ÿ˜ If sista @Mel Hopkins picture can prove CB isn't KY, that's great.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  23. What gives you the *right* to buy land in a foreign country without their permission? As a foreigner, they don't see the land as being yours unless there is a sanctioned agreement. The leadership would have to approve it. Exactly. That's why immigration laws exist. Part of building a nation or anything else also means being able to protect and defend it by any means necessary; diplomacy and/or violence.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  24. Bingo. It's not just Kenyans who think that way about AfroAmericans. That's why we need to rewrite the narratives and beliefs about us. The wrong messages about AfroAmericans have being transmitted across the airwaves and oceans for a very long time.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  25. White folks have always made a ton of money from Black music regardless of how it is produced and/or labelled. The racists merely co-opted and exploited Black music to establish Rock and Blue-eyed Soul and Country music. That way, they can patronize and enrich their own people. Look no further than folks like Michael McDonald, Michael Bolton, Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera, Sam Smith, Adele and Justin Timberlake to name a few.๐Ÿ˜Ž
