  1. Not sure if you are? Yes...On many different levels True Yes........Religiously Evil is foremost a matter of Disobedience Biblically they are both Sinful..... To me Evil involves Intention....to do harm. Only because all possible actions have already been taken. All actions are deterministic in that they all have a corresponding reaction....outcome Before you take action nothing is predetermined....Once you take action the result is determinable and no longer under your control Your intentions are influenced and programmed Evil is a Social Construct.....it is real only in societies Symbiotic relationships are considered a type of social cohabitation in and among species of fauna and flora in a biome...in effect a Culture or Society of sorts Thanks
  2. We Humans are constrained by Time...but an Omniscient Being is outside of time For this Being you have already made your Choice....Whilst to you - you are still pondering it. Yes....Fast Forward or Rewind for us. Yes...To this Being all that could possible happen has happened already This Being probable Experience's Time akin to how you watch a movie... The Timed constrained being is bound by past decisions.....future decisions are to be made and so remain unbounded. Once a Decision has been made you are now bounded to its Outcome.....Free Will ends at decision/choice making. Evil is its own punishment....Every action has its own reaction - they are bounded together in one continuum Evil is a Cultural Construct and does not exist outside of Culture/Society....That which is considered evil is not Universal. True. Yes the past is fixed because both the choice and outcome has been made and experienced....The corporeal being is bound by Time Time is Illusory and we are Constrained by this Illusion....To those Constrained within/ by the Illusion -They See many choices or decision To the corporeal being the future is unknown and unfixed..because the decision has not been made To the Omniscient Being There is no Time....So it is All happening - Now To the Omniscient All these decision are One....... All outcome is One The Form the Illusion of Time takes is that of Many where there is only One...Shattering experienced in sequence. - One Focalisation Once you have a past and a future that is a Reality that's based on or in Time. Every Reality has its own Rules... it all depends on your level of illusion. Yes...if i am understanding you right....basic science - A certain set of circumstances usually leads to a Specific outcome...Repeatable. All The Above and more is possible Yes....Free Will and Know How Yours it the Decision as to how high you lift the Illusion or what you wish to experience and how. The Illusion limits your Senses to create or curate a Reality befitting your Knowledge Yes So do I .....but i just love to postulate or am i pontificating At this point you wonder if it all matters.... Yes it's debatable Consciousness is the Field of Infinite Creativity - Pure Potentiality where All Possibilities Reside True Only because we have chosen(default) to by the illusions we accept or our senses curate for us.. As Gi-Ants. I guess to them it is a pretty mundane occurrannes.... As we should...the web of life
  3. if an omniscient being knows the future.....It does not mean we have No Free Will. Knowing the future is a function of Knowledge Experience and Know How.. As our knowledge increase so does our ability to forecast future events....this in no way compromise our Free Will or Decision making capabilities. We have both....Our Will is Expressed in the Choices we make. How so....please explain?
  4. Thanks True....but they have left traces of who they were - many of which points to them being Black.
  5. They share the same Root Reality till a point of Divergence occurs.
  6. Which one? cause it's not so in mine
  7. it's definitely not white. The Aryans are from Ancient Iran.....The Ancient Iranians were not White. Yes...The Dravidians are and were Black No the Aryans are from Iran Yes....They are Were called Sumerians from whom the Aryans descend Aryans did not pass through...... Turks Armenians and Chechen mixed with Aryans. Yes...it's bible story Ham is the Father of Cush and Cush is the Father of Nimrod. English is not a Dead Language.....it was and is of Germanic origin Yes....and they in turn were overrun but not displaced by the Romans Most Indians are Black....few if any can be seen as white pre British invasion. The Bible story supports the Idea of some Linguist that there was a Proto-language from which all languages sprung.
  8. Yes....Dreams are a doorway to another Reality.
  9. Neither am I....But since it's Indian - it is Black. Aryans are from present day Iran/Iraq originally called Sumeria....Which can be interpreted as the "Black Headed Ones" - I think that means they were or some of them were Black. Nimrod son of Cush.... Mighty in Shinar(Sumer) Sure...While more English words are from Latin than Germanic. Anglo-Saxons are Germanic YES...I never spoke to its meaning. Indians to me are mostly Black. Leading to the Idea that all Languages come from One Proto-language(Babel). Ok
  10. Yes. It is a dream that Persist ....from which we awake exclusively at Death - Only to realize that we are not the Dreamer.....But Imaginal creatures of the Dreamer Yes.....since All Truths are but Half Truths
  11. I agree with ProfD we do not owe them "shyt" They owe us..... Africans or Black Skinned people Invented Language...Khoi san click language, Tamil, Sumerian, Egyptian and Sanskrit English is a Romance Language derived from Latin...Latin is a Member of the Indo-European family Group - I read the word "Indo" as black. Even Today Many English words are taken from Ancient Egyptian...All Living Languages tend to borrow from other Languages - more so Kione lingua franca common languages such as english to allow for commerce We gave them Language....do not be trick
  12. Free Will is Real...in this reality - to a large extent it is govern by your Know How. You have the free will to toss the ball or not -The Decision is yours. Once the ball is toss it is now a matter of Skill and Know How - to understand or predict what will happen next. True...The exact trajectory and all the minutia involved is beyond our understanding at this point in our development But the Ancients teach us that the language of the Universe is Mathematics.....Which is exact. Hence Calculus tells us exactly where the tossed ball will travel and land. Righteuosness is Living Maths Maybe....or could it be a lack of certain chemical reactions in the human body - that results in both boredom and aging. Everything has a Cause....if you find the Cause you may find the Reason and or Purpose Man can Manipulate Thoughts - Thinking. Thoughts are their own self evident being and has no human ownership exception when we speak in past tense. The Purpose of Life is to Live..... Seems you no longer live there? The More you Know...The more you realize how little you know Fact is often stranger than fiction....and Visible light is miniscule part of the ElectroMagnetic Spectrum so is Audible Frequency. - in other words there is more things in this world than we can ever think of. I have concluded its all a dream Some of these men....Could have been women or stole the works of Women - We live in a very Sexist world Yes....an Opportunity to create Meaning - to paraphrase a previous poster if not yourself.
  13. Neither do I Improper Citations not Plagiarism. To my understanding it is more a matter of the Applications of New Rules possibly regarding Attributions....which were not required when she wrote her Thesis/Doctorate - Rather than Appropriations. Yes and the bru haha so rounding the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict vis a vis Free Speech....Her being label by some as Anti-Semitic.. There may also be Racism and Misogyny at play as well. No not ruin...more like besmirching
  14. Evertbody has a Conscience....They all know we are being Persecuted - They all just not a John Brown....We all Not Malclom X or Fred Hampton The Real Immediate Dangers is From those who Make Our Persecution a Profitable Business Entreprise - far worst a Philosophy Truth Resonates especially if one touches the E-motions... If there is any anger disapointment and resentment then it must be with ourselves...As Human Beings It most have been a form of entertainment. We all shed Blood. No One Turned to Crime and Drugs....What Happened was and is Socially engineered. Then they are and has always been what they is. Who dosen't.
  15. Yeah I saw the warning you gave him in the other thread....and knew his days was about up It does get boring....but I just do it anyway - guess its a vibes thing

Holy Post - Race in America - Part 2 Country Out of Wedlock Birthrate Chile 75.1% Costa Rica 72.5% Mexico 70.4% Iceland 69.4% France 62.2% Bulgaria 59.6% Norway 58.5% Portugal 57.9% Slovenia 56.5% Sweden 55.2% 50% of Children Born out of Wedlock The number of children born out of wedlock is more than 50% in many countries. That includes countries such Mexico, Iceland, France, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Chile, and many others. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/out-of-wedlock-births-by-country According to pew research this is a problem more so for white people. Among solo parents, 42% are white and 28% are black, compared with 55% of cohabiting parents who are white and 13% who are black. https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2018/04/25/the-changing-profile-of-unmarried-parents/#:~:text=Among solo parents%2C 42% are,cohabiting moms (30% vs. LBJ Predicts the Breakdown of Negro Family Structure (No Fathers in the Home) The Astonishing Strength and Resilience of Black Families Elders explain how the welfare system forced black fathers out of their households University of Chicago professor explains social roots of violence, inequality in Black neighborhoods The Enduring Myth of Black Criminality @Jeromex Whether you black or White, the message you are promoting is one of Hate and Violence....

  18. Many Factors are at play .... How The US Government Destroyed Black Families (Documentary) How The Government Created The Ghettos of America by Race -- meaning that about 48 percent of first births happening outside of wedlock.......Researchers believe that many couples are waiting to get married because of economic and cultural reasons. Many jobs for Americans that may not have higher education no longer exist. A middle-class lifestyle now requires more schooling, meaning young adults are spending more time pursuing education. In addition, many young adults now view marriage as a "capstone" instead of a "cornerstone" in their lives, meaning that they are waiting until they have everything else in place -- including a job -- before tying the knot.............The average age of first birth for women who drop out of high school is 20, while their average married age is 25. Eighty-three percent of first births to non-high school graduates are to unwed mothers. The biggest rise in unmarried pregnancy is among the 54 percent of "middle American" women, which include women who have graduated high school and completed some college but do not have a degree. In this group, the average age of having their first child is 24, and they are married at 27. Fifty-eight percent of the first births in this group are to unwed mothers. "The Great Crossover marks the moment at which unmarried motherhood moved from the domain of our poorest populations to become the norm for America's large and already flailing middle class," https://www.cbsnews.com/news/almost-half-of-first-babies-in-us-born-to-unwed-mothers/ That's what happens when you live in a racist Society or and Country.... You may yet live to see it.....Aluta Continua Victoria Ascerta

  21. Wedlock....is not an Issue for the Black Community Dreadlocks....is a mere topic of conversation regarding style and preference. Obesity....is not a threat but a concern. Violence....is an Issue of the White Community Pure Propaganda.

The Black Panthers CHANGED Breakfast (The Free Breakfast for School Children) #onemichistory Free Breakfast For School Children was one of the most effective. It began in January 1969 at an Episcopal church in Oakland, and within weeks it went from feeding a handful of kids to hundreds. The program was simple: party members and volunteers went to local grocery stores to solicit donations, consulted with nutritionists on healthful breakfast options for children, and prepared and served the food free of charge. School officials immediately reported results in kids who had free breakfast before school. “The school principal came down and told us how different the children were,” Ruth Beckford, a parishioner who helped with the program, said later. “They weren’t falling asleep in class, they weren’t crying with stomach cramps.” Soon, the program had been embraced by party outposts nationwide. At its peak, the Black Panther Party fed thousands of children per day in at least 45 programs. (Food wasn’t the only part of the BPP’s social programs; they expanded to cover everything from free medical clinics to community ambulance services and legal clinics.) For the party, it was an opportunity to counter its increasingly negative image in the public consciousness—an image of intimidating Afroed Black men holding guns—while addressing a critical community need. “I mean, nobody can argue with free grits,” said filmmaker Roger Guenveur Smith in A Huey P. Newton Story, a 2001 film in which he portrays Newton. Bill Whitfield, member of the Black Panther chapter in Kansas City, serving free breakfast to children before they go to school. (Credit: William P. Straeter/AP Photo) BILL WHITFIELD, MEMBER OF THE BLACK PANTHER CHAPTER IN KANSAS CITY, SERVING FREE BREAKFAST TO CHILDREN BEFORE THEY GO TO SCHOOL. (CREDIT: WILLIAM P. STRAETER/AP PHOTO) Free food seemed relatively innocuous, but not to FBI head J. Edgar Hoover, who loathed the Black Panther Party and declared war against them in 1969. He called the program “potentially the greatest threat to efforts by authorities to neutralize the BPP and destroy what it stands for,” and gave carte blanche to law enforcement to destroy it. The results were swift and devastating. FBI agents went door-to-door in cities like Richmond, Virginia, telling parents that BPP members would teach their children racism. In San Francisco, writes historian Franziska Meister, parents were told the food was infected with venereal disease; sites in Oakland and Baltimore were raided by officers who harassed BPP members in front of terrified children, and participating children were photographed by Chicago police. “The night before [the first breakfast program in Chicago] was supposed to open,” a female Panther told historian Nik Heynan, “the Chicago police broke into the church and mashed up all the food and urinated on it.” https://www.history.com/news/free-school-breakfast-black-panther-party

  23. My first surprise was the amount of "X's" in the name of the Authors....Nobles tends to be Moorish name in the US. The information given seems consistent with Francis C Welsing who is actually quoted and Richard King(Key to Freedom) With some Fanon's theory of "non-being"....hence the skin bleaching.
