  1. Well, if it's true...no matter how extreme it might seem or sound, it can be valid and verified. There are many things in which a certain group over-samples. For example, American men own more guns and commit far more crimes than women by huge percentage. If someone quantified it at 90% or higher, very few people would bat an eyelash.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  2. Yep. I could write a dissertation on the rise and fall and sterilization and stagnation of music. AI will make it even worst.๐Ÿ˜ However, as long as humans can play instruments and sing live, real music will always exist. Just gotta know where to find out and go listen to it.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  3. The propaganda machine distorts their perception of reality. In Africa, *most* of them hold AfroAmericans in the same regard as and consider us white poeple.๐Ÿคฃ I'm not referring to *educated* tethers and those who flee to the US looking for a *better* life as Uber drivers while talking sh8t to AfroAmericans. Many African immigrants *believe* the propaganda spread by white folks until we *show* them differently. As I've mentioned before, without giving up too much personal info, I've got a deep African tribe in my family. My perspective isn't merely anecdotal. The Willie Lynch syndrome has been ingrained in AfroAmericans. It's a disease that hasn't been cured yet. True. But, FBAs have to build here in the US 1st in order to give other Black folks a reason to rock with us. Otherwise... Nothing from nothing leaves nothing...๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  4. Now, you're on some patriarchal sh8t in suggesting how someone else should *quantify* their statistics.๐Ÿคฃ Read 90% as *most* and keep it moving.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  5. That's easy. The natives didn't appreciate being colonized. The freed slaves came with the *wrong* attitude. Partially because they were dumped into an African country. All skinfolk ain't kinfolk.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  6. That same corrupt, unstable government treats foreigners better than they do for their own people. There's a reason white folks and Chinese and Arabs, etc., can post up in the most unstable countries and handle business. The natives don't want any smoke from them. Having that bag and a *home* country to return to neutralizes any threats. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  7. Sure. Human beings should have love and compassion among themselves instead of fighting and killing each other for no reason. Conditions is the reason dysfunctional people exist. The system feeds off it i.e. poverty, crime, punishment, law enforcement, judicial, social services, etc. Not really. Survival of the fittest.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  8. Semantics. It's the same difference. ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜Ž
  9. I think you all are hung up on a detail and missing the overall point. Regardless of reporting, a very high percentage of men engage in pedophilia than women. Nope. That dude isn't a bit more interested in snatch box than RuPaul, Lil Nas X and Big Frieda, etc.. They think it stinks and run away yelling yuck.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  10. According to NF Jr., those who need help should get it. However, we should not allow mentally challenged people to reproduce. They should be sterilized. Animals do this instinctively. They kill offspring that has no chance of independent survival. In this case, a benefit is a solution to a temporary condition. Again, public housing and welfare should not be a way of life. The problem is too many people rely on it which makes them unproductive to society. Blame greedy and corrupt leaders for allowing those conditions to exist. I beleieve any able-bodied, able-minded man who cannot afford to take care of himself is better off dead.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  11. Well, the great news about other countries is that Americans have to bring a bag of money in order to stay there for any period of time. I don't believe ex-pats will encourage their broke azz family members and friends to come to Africa and post up for free. In fact, one has to declare how much money they're bringing in order to get a visa. Broke azz n8gglets need not apply. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  12. Interestingly, since freed slaves were sent back to Africa, Black folks havent followed up on the Liberia experiment. Of course, Liberia has its share of problems with that situation too. Program got f8cked up.๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  13. You're absolutely correct. When musicians play instruments there are dynamics that make the music sound more organic. When we listen to any type of recorded music it can sound great but it's static. It always sounds the same However, listen to the same music performed live (organic) and it hits differently. The vibration provides a listening experience. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  14. I believe these store boycotts will be as effective as a Congressman yelling out during a POTUS address or a Senator giving a 25 hour speech on the senate floor. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  15. I haven't changed oil in my vehicles in decades. It is more cost effective to me letting the shop handle it. That's the point I was making with regard to things we can do ourselves but cheaper to outsource. Changing smoke detector batteries is an easier task. I change mine. But, I can see folks paying someone else to do it in the circumstance I laid out up thread.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  16. Liberation Day came last week with fresh tariffs. They were so excited: Tariffs were put on hold this week. Maybe they were rolled out prematurely. Some folks lost money due to market fluctuation. Money folks made more bread due to market manipulation. Only a 1/4 into the current administration's bid. We got 3 years & 9 months to deal with this sh8t. Unless the mid-term elections cripple or permanently injure the duck.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  17. Even if rape and pedophilia are considered mental disorders, if I was in charge, perpetrators would be put to death immediately. ๐Ÿ˜ Sista @Mel Hopkins, welcome back to the building. Enjoying your perspective.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  18. It would make sense to start that effort here in the US where the money is being before investing in another country and culture of people. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  19. Right. That young lady did the same thing with her baton: She went upside the other runner's head intentionally.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  20. Bro...you rang but I think you're looking for brotha frankster in this thread.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  21. Those Kenyans aren't different from so many other Black folks who self-hate and see white folks as some kind of god.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  22. Some landlords handle property maintenance themselves. Others hire it out. Several factors. Levels of income and expenses vary. Some folks can afford to pay others and spend frivolously. Nowadays, very few people change their own oil and oil filter in vehicles. It's easy to do. Auto parts stores sell everything required to do it. Yet, it's more convenient for most people pulling into a Jiffy Lube type establishment or a gas station and letting the grease monkeys handle that oil change.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  23. Sure. FBA folks can be brought togeher. Getting them to buy into a movement of establishing a city or town will be a heavier life. Howvever, if it's already built, they might show up.๐Ÿ˜Ž
  24. A mental problem needs to be evaluated and treated properly. Depends on perspective of the individual. Some folks would see roach infested housing projects, homelessness and sleeping behind garbage cans as the same thing. The rhetorical question is why are people relying on public housing and welfare. Public housing and welfare aren't benefits. Cars and movie theaters are luxuries. Generational welfare is the fault of those who choose to wallow in it. FDR wasn't at fault for creating poverty but he certainly knew who was hoarding wealth. They were just doing their J-o-b. Just over broke themselves. Right. Public housing and welfare was a temporary situation men could use to support their families until they made enough money to move up. The system of public housing and welfare as we know it became a thing later. It was not intended to be a way of life. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  25. Pedophilia is a mental disorder where adults and older adolescents are s8xually attracted to children 13 years old or younger. Neither is an adult or adolescent if they are 13 years old or younger. Very few developed countries allow pedophilia in modern times. Any parent who allowed or allows an adult man to take their prepubescent children as s8x toys should be executed along with the mentally impaired man who desires a child. There's never been a shortage of consenting folks of legal age to make their own decisions. It is wrong to violate a child who cannot legally give consent or anyone else who doesn't give consent. Pedophiles and other rapists should be punished by death immediately. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
