Boss Tweed was a corrupt political insider and criminal....who used his elected office to dole out jobs in return for votes....Pork Barrel Politics. In short he used taxpayers money to pay for all those votes....The voters who took the cash I assume were happy he paid for their votes - Those voters loved him. I know little of the d'Alesandro family but based on your description of their (Pelosi) activities..it seems to be swapping favors for patronage - pork barrel I am sure those swapping favors for patronage were grateful for what they received and happy to exchange their vote in return. Pork Barrel Politics is a way of buying favors or likes...if it works then that individual is liked

Okay True,,,, Some black people do not care about the US and the peoples in it. A Consensus can be reach by a vote and the majority used as the General Agreement The Consensus will allow us to achieve Functional Unity Politics is a popularity contest....People may respect you - respect do not always translate into votes And in the example given above if you are liked, your base will always vote for you regardless of the fact that you are fleecing them Electoral Politics (electioneering/campaigning) is not about achieving result but gaining Votes...People vote for who they like Media influence Voter decisions....Voting is a emotional action based on Party Affiliation and on Candidates Likability. Politics is a game of strange bedfellows. When A wrong has been recognized then a Class Action must be taken...Compensation or Indemnification

True....but there is a business term known as a "Loss leader" Can you provide the links to the science that support your conjecture...? I too have friends who were and are homosexual who thought the same. I choose to be Heterosexual...because of the way I was socialize around sex and Manhood. Being socialize in a macho culture wherein bravado is the norm....I would have to say "nothing"- but it would not be entirely sincere..Nevertheless True of this moment Case being one of Culture - Ethics and Morals I do not believe any one brains is (hard/permanently) wired to be homosexual....Neuroplasticity has shown that the brain can be rewired. Your Nature is usually Nurtured by your interpretation of Experiences.....Hence Conscious and Unconscious Choices are made that seems Natural. Gender is a social construct...Sex Change ,Transexual or Sex Reassignment Surgery & Feminizing/Masculinizing Therapy mostly changes your appearance not your sex

The reason for my wanting the link is to learn. Yes I may agree or disagree with your interpretation of the info the link provides....so what? - we continue to disagree - So we cannot arrive at a point of agreement.... who says we have to? - The point is to Share and Engage What about for Infotainment Purposes? You have a Right to exercise a Preference.. It is not all the Time you get to Choose the group you belong to..Sometimes it is thrusted on you - the Group selects you or rejects you Select Group Unity is already a Fact....Many people Think they Belong to one Select Group or The Other - The Other is the problem we Create The Truth remains the same....The most discernible unity we all share is our Humanity - African.

It is still confusing me.... Still don't see what i got wrong....Maybe i need some highgrade True...fair and (in)adequate Am I then correct in saying that what You are asking for is:- Proclamation of Aims and Goals and then a quantitative and qualitative analysis of Results and Successes. And I concur Black self hate is mainly the Result of Racism and Colonialism Right and Wrong is Ethics.... a Cultural Compass It tells us where we are going....thereby untwining the Confusion of Direction of Purpose and Will. True.. Leadership demands decision making.....Ethics or Expediency. Unfortunately Leadership is not a Popularity Contest....but politics most definitely Is. Political Leadership is a strange brew... A Decision was taken... I cannot comment on the " in particulars" Generally One should not hold a "minority" responsibly for the acts of the "majority"...when it's the Majority that Rules Arising Tide raises all boats....Should one boat be taking on what a rising tide will be of Nought - A prophet is rarely accept at home... They spoke Truth to Power on behalf of the Oppressed....And Walk the Path of Liberty whilst Marching us to Freedom. Cool we appreciate all the help.....feel free to fly by anytime

Homosexuals are human beings and are entitled to all Rights - Protections and Freedoms. I disagree that "Homophobia is on par with racism"...Homosexuality is a Behavior or Sexual Preference in short a Choice. The Threat that homosexual pose is one of deviance....A threat to social norms and the status quo. Homosexuals have always been in positions of power...homosexuality have always been seen as either sinful and therefore criminal - deviant and shameful. What of Bi-sexuals are they gay? The Jury is still out as to whether or not Homosexuality is Deviant or Variant.....Homosexual has always been seen as Deviant until the early 1970's. Deviant meaning homosexuality is a Pathology resulting from trauma or social maladjustment..

Yes Mans inhumanity to Man is an all too common occurrence in History....especially in times of war. If you are at war it is not to make "a buck" but to save a life or lives usually your own or your kinfolk... If you do not see it printed anywhere then you not reading or looking...where did you first see it or learn it? These were African of different nationalities and or ethnicities. Similarly White Germans gassed imprisoned murdered and enslaved around 3 million white European Jews Russians and Roma in under 5 years European and Arabic slave merchants and markets fomented wars so as to coerce and maintain the continued supply of human cargo.

You have a point.. Why do they want to increase black gay male representation? Yes profit is the primary goal....but there maybe other goals too and that is to what I am alluding. When its comes to Homosexuality its a promotional activity as well..... Maybe that's the secret part... Effeminization is gender confusion. Homosexuality is sexual confusion. Sex and sexuality is a primal human imperative....

Your Question is and here I quote you "I asked in the post below what I will ask here. Can any one black show me anything that came from black voting? Show me something?" Then There your opening question has been answered and that is an admission of it by you in bold. It is a "Given" Blacks are not a majority in the US and as such will need white votes. Black Votes are crucial and pivotal without which most black elected officials would not gain office. Charles Rangel sponsored the Affordable Care Act...He is from a majority black district....thats black vote in action - undeniably. Thank you As it should be To me it shows that they were ahead of their time...They did not behave in a omni-racial manner but in a Non-racial manner. Why would they reinforce the idea that Races exist. Any policy based on race only serves to divide citizen and nationals and further institutionalize racism. It is great politics and policy that benefits all......even when redressing past wrongs to particular groups - A rising tide lifts all boats. As a Minority blacks has to be mindful of appearing blameworthy or hypocritical....instead must find their source of remedy in higher ethics - more Martin less Malcolm. If you read carefully I said it benefits non-whites......Not only blacks. True....hence the term non-whites. It's like "Affirmative Action" it seems to benefit white women etc more than blacks.... even though the spirit of its original intent was to redress employment discrimination against blacks.

Ok the one that I notice and nobody seems to be talking about is the promotion of Homosexuality in Black Public Spaces, which may be a result or offshoot of the long standing agenda of the feminization of the Black Male. I say this because I notice a high number of Black Public personalities either are Gay or Play Gay characters.

Give me an idea of what you are thinking about ....You name one?

True.. They did not achieve Hegemonic global power till after Columbus They have reveal the soft underbelly of the American Judicial and Legislative system....How easily political partisanship can coerce legislative change - Today for me tomorrow for you. If true Power remained in wealth...The Czars would still ruled Russia. True Power reside in the Will of the People - Propaganda Real Power Exist in the Hands of those who Control the means of Production and Labour. Transformational Wealth will not be Coming from Black America.......Black America is the Spark that starts the Fire that is Africa. Black Wealth in America will always hanker to be white....blanqueamiento - Cultural Indoctrination

It depends on what you are looking for... For instance most black men and women in The US Congress today hold their position largely as a result of Black Voters.....That includes President Obama. Any Bill Sponsored by an African American Congresswoman or man that has Passed and become Law is largely a result of black voters....Congressional Black Caucus The Affordable Care Act (Obama care) is the most highly publicize one lately...I am sure they are many more. If you are looking for something that benefits Non-whites only then The Crown Act should be sufficient.

Blacks were engrafted with who or what to make white peoples? We both agree that white people came from black people so yes black people are older...Yes they came from Africans directly....Natural selection. This does not prove two races....if anything it proves inheritance - It proves changes brought on by environment etc.. Environment and diet affects gene expression in turns of dominant and or recessive. True....you do not know You Believe.... All The evidence points to Natural Selection Yes The gene or genes that causes albinos do pass from parents to children and inbreeding increases the odds of them being express in a population of people. No estrogen and testosterone is not dictated by diet but by X and Y chromosomes Whether you express Eumelanin or Pheomelanin....The dominance is caused by Environment and diet which I have already shown. We are all one Human Race...any difference you see are determined by History Culture Diet and Environment. Two years ago people in NY were being locked up for possession of any amount of Marijuana....Today possession of certain amounts of Marijuana has been Legalized. Marijuana itself has not change and its effect on human beings are the same....a set of people agree to change laws of society as to how we treat its possession. Marijuana Possession outside of the purview of society has remain the same. Only real to Society. 2. ADJECTIVE If something is real to someone, they experience it as though it really exists or happens, even though it does not. https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/real It does change the status....Money is based on agreement.... Here is Money but its value less than its face value in society....and cannot be used to purchase or exchange in society - except in the game wherein we agree on its value. It is the point....can you define a social construct ? As society changes....the constructs that society is comprised of changes - hence marijuana possession in certain quantities are now legal to possess in some places. Money as we know it is also facing changes - bitcoins and credit cards. We are our viewers Buildings exist should society disappear they would still be there.

What link can you provide as a source on any one of the following ideas?? "talk of having come FROM the Egypt/Ethiopia area and moving West and South"?? "arriving in their lands after their ancestors traveled their from the East or North" ?? "people ENTERED Africa through the Kemet/Egypt Africa originally.....not came out of it" ?? My understanding is that they came from as far South as the Congo and Tanzania with Uganda in the West and Kenya & Ethiopia in NE... Mountain Range in either Uganda or Kenya being ground zero If you are seeking a global unity.....These are some of the peoples on the globe - they are a part of the globe so one must start where one is. I also said "before even knowing what it looks like" Do you know what forms or structure unification will take?

Yes I agree with all the above...After all of the above.. Where on Earth did Human Life first appear We already have Institutions to deal with such people.. Focus on the Willing and Able not the worst of us. Who said that " the Earth was "seeded" over a trillion years before the planet existed... I must of missed it.. When life provides spaces for moments of Fun like these.....I give Thanks.....So Thank You and all the Staff

Panspermia is in a sense the idea that life is commonplace all over the universe... Intelligent Alien beings could be with us now and intervening in our affairs... There is little doubt in my mind about the existence of alien life....

Great Where did humanity Originate in your opinion? Hence one of the reasons we can achieve unity....and the way the world is today - individuals refuse to work towards Unification before even knowing what it looks like.

Your evidence of this engraftment??? How do you know that it was artificial selection and not Natural selection? Environment diet and culture are the major contributing factors....consanguinity may also play a role. Both Black and white peoples have Pheomelanin.... Detectable levels of pheomelanin are detected in human skin regardless of race, color, and skin type. However, eumelanin is always the major constituent of epidermal melanin, and the skin color appears to be determined by the quantity of melanin produced but not by the quality. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12950732/ The differences are not due to race but history culture and environment. Yes real as the laws of a country or nation. Real as in agreed upon - social construct...You are still incorrect and neither am I in accord with your thoughts on this matter whatsoever. It is either you cant or wont tried to understand what a social construct is.... I have always said it is a social construct and they do not exist in and of themselves....without society they no longer have reality, value or meaning. No you have not....I consider myself a reasonable person and you have not justified your arguments. Here is another quote from your article The death rates diverged sharply after 1980, and this disparity has been persistent.1,2 https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp2200244?query=race_and_medicine You Know you are in error but you continue in this fruitless quest to prove the unprovable. ...to save face/ ego.

That is the idea behind Racism Racialism is the Idea that there are more than one human race. Racism is the acceptance and acknowledgement of Racial differences and then forcing peoples to act along those lines of divisions by institutionalization. It is relatively easy to divide people....whats a little more challenging is to unite people NO...they are not the same.....today Racialism is subsumed in racism First Unity among African peoples where ever they are on the Globe....... and then Global Unity among Humanity. All Humans are Africans Yes.

Yes....Albinos are a result of a genetic Mutations.. In Your theory what is the cause of the white race since it's not a mutation? You do know we have white albinos....who are of white people and suffer the same mutations as blacks. Both white and black people have melanin, the gene that controls for skin color....In Reality we humans are all shade of brown Expose those vitamin D deficient Blacks to enough Sunshine and the Deficiency disappears.....Milk is dietary and we spoke of the role of diet in culture. Socially Agreed upon, made up as a Rule....Hence it is a Social Construct. Do you know what a Social Construct is? Sadness is not a concept it is an Emotion. Courtesy is a Social Construct Money is real and valuable....we give it reality and value...The Value and Reality is purely Social Most money we use Exist as ink on Paper and bits of mineral... The drug is not Socially Construct - It's Chemically constructed - to affect his biological system. It has value and meaning only in the context of a society The Article did not prove any such thing..... Your ability to read and understand is now being drawn into question. No I am not tired of either. 10:18 / 10:37 What does social construction really mean?

I disagree with two parts...the rest I am in agreement with A. the issue usually isn't White resistance B. we are our own worse enemy. White resistance (is racism) comes in various disguises...and one of them is "we are our worst enemies" 1. Demonization of black peoples and their culture. 2. Marginalization of black communities. 3. Underemployment. 4. Learned Helplessness. 5. Benign Neglect. 6. Black unity is attacked and seen as a threat. 7. Undermining the black family 8. Separate interpretation of Laws 9. Inferior Education...Neglect and inferiorization of african accomplishment - results disaffection of black students 10. Institutionalization of Blaming the victim for being victimize. 11. Dumping in black communities. 12. Unequal access to National resources...financial institution, medical institutions etc 13. Overcrowding in schools and communities.. 14. Food desert. 15. Over Policing. 16. Readily availability of Drugs and Alcohol - Numbification 17. Political alienation...Voter Apathy 18. Urban blight 19. Kept in a state Constant Paranoia (fear and foreboding) - breeds desperation - crime 20. Black success is exceptionalized. ....etc they all fall under racism Racism is a direct frontal attack on black people on too many levels to list them all

She is an Albino...I do not know her. I never said anything about "citizen".... it seems we agree You are making it seems like the differences between us is tantamount to a whole different race. No one is overlooking those differences but they do not equal a breed or a distinguishable race within the human family. Please name the others? Cool we agree. Real as in rules made up on how certain individuals that fit a specific criteria should be treated. White people and caucasian are used as interchangeable terms, but they are differences between both words as to meaning and history. No...Not the same Social Construct is an idea that people accept ....like Gender Money is Fiat....Social Construct by decree We give it Value and Meaning....in and of itself its just Paper with colorings The Paradigm. And in the case of women?. Until the they change or break the paradigm....the pattern remains Only has to do with Exclusivity..... When comparing little to none....little becomes a lot. Yes one is true....POTUS is one of the World's most Powerful Man. No I do not try to convince, I have found that leads to entrenchment and egoism I share and value what is shared. No you have not....you cannot even delude yourself - the facts are there and you know. I get inferior treatment....because I am black You get superior treatment....because you are white I remain sick and you get better that means we are of different races.....it only proves Racism The science told you the cause of the differences was because of access to new and improved treatment was denied to black women. I see you grow tired of this discourse, I enjoyed it immensely and look forward to us sharing again in the future....it was fun my brother, You made me laugh many at times...maybe next time we should be more respectful of the thread starter and stay on topic and have our discourse by opening a new thread.

The Two primary reason for Racism is First to create Division among peoples... and ....Secondly to maintain Power in the Hands of Rich Europeans. For Division to occur and Stay in place...two things are essential A Natural or Socially Constructed Difference must be Exploited....Real or Imagine The Demonization(privations) of one set of people and the Celebration(reward/privilege) the other set of people. A few definitions based on real life use.....The fundamentals of the Division a fore mentioned. A Black Man is an African who is Enslave or who is a descendant of enslaved Africans in the Western Hemisphere. A White Man is European Living in a European Ruled Racist society Racism is a Socio-economic Institution that exploit peoples based on skin color and or ethnic origin. Racialism(term now defunct) is the belief in Races of Men. All the Pains of Racism are Derive from the Demonization of Black peoples and by way of extension(continental) Africans. The First Pain (to me) is that Racism has divorced us(Black Men) from Our Africanity....The Love of our Africanness. The Second Pain is that Racism has instilled in us Africans to want to seek European Acceptance (Authority Permission and Beauty)....The Love of Europenness. The Methods of Installation/Instillation and Divorce/Dissociation employed is the "Carrot or the Stick/whip" and Marginalization. All Racist actions by Institutions or individual are reinforcement of Racism's Reality....de jure and de facto. The First step Toward Unity....is to bring about love of our Africanness... Some Continental Africans hate Black westernize Africans....And Some Black westernize Africans hate Continental Africans. Africans hate other Africans and Blacks hate other Blacks... Most historical Black African Conscious Group try to address this Divide.....ADOS and its offshoots aims to further divide us Blacks and Africans peoples. We Need a unifying Force...

Fallacy of equivocation and Ambiguity. The Truth is whether you see value or you see value thru eyes (figure of speech) of some else and you think that that value is theirs and not yours.....The Fact remains you see Value. The Fact that you recognize that its valuable to them....you see that value. Tigers do not exist because I prefer not to accept them - that's Denial....Regardless tigers still exist - that's a true or real. I said "Usually only If used improperly." in my response....even before I said "name One" Heroin has some medicinal value especially in earlier times.. Name What Part of my Heart is not me ?
