Exactly. It's an investment that makes sense to many Black folks especially those who grew up in the church. They were indoctrinated a long time ago. Coming up with viable businesses is important. Educating Black people in investing is even more critical. All types of charities receive money from donors both small and large. That includes Black folks too. Unfortunately, some Black folks seem to be hardest on themselves when it comes to trust and doing business with each other.😎

Kendrick didn't use that platform to escalate the beef. He had already won that battle. He used the platform to make a bigger political statement about America. Serena wasn't celebrating gang culture or dissing Drake. The dance is popular in Cali. You're not alone. Many white folks and conservative Black folks think similarly.😎

News report. The number combines killed and wounded. But, I haven't fact checked the media. The number is irrelevant to the point that a whole of people have been killed and wounded for no reason. The question is why are they fighting. There will be no winners when the dust clears. Only losers. White folks have killed millions of people. I cannot think another race that has done more killing within the past 100 years. Most recently, between between Ukraine and Gaza, there's a whole lot of unalived and wounded people.😎

There's a possibility the Russia-UkraIne conflict could end sooner than later. To date, more than 2 million people in total have been unalived in that war. When the bullets and bombs stop, Ukraine still won't be a member of NATO. The Russia-Ukraine conflict was an exercise in which cousins unalived each other over a territorial dispute. These countries have destroyed lives and property at the cost of billions of dolllars. Surely, money that could have been better spent making life better for its citizens. Instead, Russians and Ukrainians were cheering for their side as if it was a sporting event. The US stood on the sidelines supplying money and weapons to a losing efforr. Again, money that could have been better spent at home. White people are willing to fight, kill and give up their lives among themselves for nothing more than principle. I believe their willingness to kill for little or nohing sends a subliminal message and is the main reason most non-whites on the planet fear whites.😎

Kendrick Lamar delivered in spades. Sam Jackson was great. SZA was sizzling. Serena Williams' C-walk repped Cali to the fullest. Excellent show. Powerful message.😎

You're missing the point but it's OK. I was just in NYC last year. Saw Black folks spending money too. NYC is the same place spending millions of dollars housing illegal immigrants. They could easily feed the children if ut was a priority. Right. Therein lies the biggest obstacle. On one hand, you don't 1) believe Black folks can raise $100 million dollars through grassroot efforts and 2) can't trust any steward of the $100 million dollars collected. But, you'll suggest folks like Oprah Winfrey and others put up $100 million dollars of their money. My point is that Black folks can do both. It starts with having a solid plan/agenda, goals and milestones. That requires a herculean effort of oorganization among Black folks especially in a climate of individualism and tribalism.😎

Kendrick Lamar accomplished the mission in using his platform to send a strong political message on the biggest stage globally. Gonna take some time for people to decipher the message Kendrick delivered and *get it* but that's OK too. America needed that wake up call. The world knows what's really good (goimg on) over here. Taylor Swift was only booed because a higher percentage of the fans in attendance were rooting for the Eagles. Everybody knows Taylor Swift is a Chiefs fan so she had to get the bizness. Otherwise, no love for her. She's still got millions of Swifties.😎

Right. Reminds me of people who claim they want to lose weight but refuse to diet and exercise because eating makes them happy. Instead of a gym membership, the overweight person who claims they want to lose weight would rather spend that money on more food and snacks. A pack of cigarettes in NYC costs $13 dollars. That's almost 1 hour of minimum wage work. If we're serious about it, 4 million Black people investing $25 dollars (2 packs of cigarettes in NYC or a large pizza) in a business venture adds up to $100 million dollars.😎

Yes they can. Reads like you're making excuses. Where I come from, I know for a fact that poor people know how find money. Obviously, not enough money to become rich or wealthy in most cases. But, it's enough to maintain habits. Many campaigns are funded by small money donors. Some churches operate the same way. It adds up.😎

Again, I was not advocating for a Black Christian website or platform. That's not my thing as the resident agnostic around here.😉 Half-Jokingly, I only used the name Hallelujah because many Black folks would check it out due to upbringing. Many poor people still give church offerings, smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol and do drugs and shop. So, they can contribute along with other investors.😁😎

Interestingly, the GOP base majority isn't wealthy. The Democratic base majority isn't poor. Both parties raise a ton of money from their bases. Of course not because they hire accounting firms to handle their books.😎

Yep. Different side of the same coin. I believe they've bought into the program. Very smart individuals there who enjoy butter biscuits too.😁😎

Right. They don't L's well and their media is determined to constantly remind everyone of it too.😎

Palestinian population is 2 million. They could rebuild the Gaza Strip with or without help from Arab neighbors. Israel has wanted the land since 1948. Looks like the new administration is willing to help them get it. It's interesting that the Arab world stands around watching the Palestinians struggling against the bully with a gangster big brother as backup.😎

N*tflix has a docuseries coming about OJ Simpson. The man was acquitted 30 years ago. He's been dead for almost 1 year. Yet, white folks still seem to be obsessed with the OJ thing. It unnerves them that as far as they're concerned, a Black man got away with murder. Nevermind there's no shortage of theories surrounding how those people were unalived. White folks refuse to let the OJ case go but tas soon as we brimg up slavery, racism and reparations, their response is that it happened a long time ago or they weren't responsible despite benefitting or it doesn't exist and Black folks should let it go. I believe Black folks should collectively ask white folks to let the OJ thing go. Everybody is dead now. Case been closed.😎

Actually, NF Jr. teaches a code for how we should deal with the system of racism white supremacy (RWS). The end goal of NF Jr.'s teaching is that we replace RWS with a system of justice (balance & fairness).😎

I wasn't thinking of it as a Christian social media site. I'd imagine something similar already exists. Regardless of religious affiliation, I was thinking that could be the name of a Black-owned platform equivalent of Tw8tter (X), G**gle, Y*uT*be, T*kT*k & A*mazon combined. The name would be catchy enough to grab a whoke lot of Black folks' attention.😁😎

As a huge fan of boxing, I have to chuckle when I hear, read and see anything comimg from the Left. The Democrats are beginning to look and sound like the opponent who lost the fight but refuses to accept they got knocked out. There's a point in some fights where the dominant fighter toys with the whupped opponent. From wind up punches to putting a glove on top of the head and puffy eyes, bloody nose, unlike Rocky movies, the outcome is clear who won the fight. POTUS OJ won. Proving that he's more fit than POTUS PJB, 47 is all over the place from the White House signing executive orders to visiting wildfires and hurricane disaster victims to meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the upcoming Super Bowl. Under the leadership of Elon Musk, POTUS OJ's minions have set out to tear the government down several agencies at a time. There's nothing Democrats can do to stop this train from going off the tracks. They're better off grabbing a bucket of popcorn and soft drinks to enjoy the big top circus. That's not stopping Dems from having parties and eating and drinking and line dancing. Their latest stunt is protesting in fromt of Treasury and Education Departments. The referee can wave off the fight and put an arm around the loser telling them it wasn't their night and encouraging them to live to see another fight or retire. Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Maxine Waters were leading the effort looking like two old folks yelling at clouds. I don't know if Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Jasmine Crockett showed up too.😎

We'll cross that bridge when reparations are paid. Folks will be able to hire money-managers.😎

Some folks believe a strong acknowledgement of and formalized apology for slavery lays the framework for reparations. Reparations would allow FBAs (Foundational Black Americans) to leave the plantations. Planned obsolescence is a major component of gross consumerism which is another opiate to keep the masses oppressed.😎

Professional and collegiate athletes bring in tons of momey for white sports franchises and institutions. POTUS OJ won't disrupt that money flow. He's pro-business. IMO. the same thing applies to the military. POTUS OJ needs as many people as they can sign up to protect and serve with the exception of transgender folks. I believe the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. federal holiday is safe. Juneteenth might be in jeopardy.😎

Didn't mention racial dislocation in the Gaza thread but NF Jr. nailed it in the code. Remains to be seem whether or not the clown-in-chief will be allowed to back up his rhetoric. I don't believe 1.5 million Palestinians will be relocated nor will the Gaza Strip become the Riviera of the Middle East.😎

Brotha @Pioneer1, I was hoping you would pop up and start the thread. It's great that we live in the internet age where all of NF Jr.'s teachings are out there. Religious folks have their bibles. I have the United Independent Compensatory Code System Textbook. Thanks to Neely Fuller Jr. who was definitely one of our master teachers. May he RIP. 😎

Black folks invest a whole lot of money in churches though. Maybe we need to call the Black platform Hallelujah.🤣😎

Nah bro. I didn't give way too much of anything. Keep watching.🤣 Some of the Tyler Perry produced shows are dramatic to a different extreme by still unrealistic and dysfunctional. Right. There's always been a ton of Black folks who weren't born in urban environments. Because Black folks aren't a monolithic group, that's how and why they see and deal with the system of racism white supremacy differently.😎
