  1. Blacks did and do take advantage of philanthropic grants rich Jews like Julius Rosenwald set up. Jews don't need me to "defend" them but I give credit where credit is due and don't let other people like the venomous Farakhan dictate who I should hate. Jewish persecution dates back to biblical times, btw.
  2. @Pioneer1 Quit mooning over Michelle, and stick with the best you can get. Oh, Baby, I can hardly wait for bedtime.
  3. Like Maher, I am anti-Muslim too. They are grim and humorless, treat women terribly, and the Koran instructs them to kill anybody who doesn't worship Allah. Arabs couldn't care less about Blacks. I am also not anti-semitic. Jews and Blacks have a long history of being allies, sharing a burden of rejection and enslavement. Liberal Jews were the first to step up and support the civil rights movement. They are not perfect, but no group is. I'd take a liberal jew any day rather than a right wing black Republican lackey. Zionists are another story.
  4. @Pioneer1 If you hate it, I love it.🤣 You're still stuck in slavery times. Go chide all those black bucks who, in the present day, marry white women. I wanna distance myself from that jive ass nigga persona and just be known as Pioneer... Out here chilling on the back porch, gazing at the mooooon, wondering hooooowl I can change my image 🙀
  5. @Phil Lamar in case there is any doubt in your mind, I d rather converse with someone like you who is white and well-meaning, than a boring, wind bag like Pioneer who represents the worst among black men.
  6. The latest degrading insult emanating from the MAGA camp is what was said by a boxer who was a guest at the fight party hosted by tRump on the white house lawn. Armed with a microphone, this low brow son of the south referred to Michelle Obama as a "man", inciting the approval of the audience and inviting a smirk from the POTUS. Referring to the former first lady as a "man" seems to be standard procedure among her MAGA detractors.I never figured out why, although in her wedding portrait that sometimes accompanies such remarks, Michelle is wearing her hair in a very short afro. Some say this label is aimed at all black women, intended to portray them as domineering, aggressive, and masculine. Whatever. This is what the Trump regime has sunk to, the crass image they portray to the world. Previously portraying the Obamas as apes, and now this. What's particularly galling is that Melania Trump, the current first lady, is a skank who slept her way to the top, while hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein. Her most notable distinction is that her lecherous husband cheated on her with other women. smh.You can't make this stuff up. 'Certainly hope Democrats can come up with a winning ticket to oust this Retrumpican administration..
  7. @ Phil Lamar: I'm an old black women who might possibly be someone for you to converse with but I can't think of any questions I want to ask you. 😵 So you ask me something and I'll give you my opinion. If I have one.
  8. @ProfD What's the difference between Michael Jackson and JayZ?
  9. @ProfD: Contrary to what that numb skull Pioneer tries to infer, I don't find Maher an attractive, charming Renaissance Man. He probably is a benign racist, like most people are, no matter what color their skin is. But when it comes to mocking political correctness and the "woke" insomniacs, and deflating those who take themselves too seriously, I'm on Bill's wave length. Unlike conflicted black patriots infected with the Stockholm Syndrome, who revere the land that has spawned their persecutors, I'll embrace the philosophy of MLK, and judge people by the content of their character. Maher being an iconoclast resonates with me. btw, Maher did donate a million dollars to Obama's campaign.
  10. Michael Jackson left behind an amazing legacy of songs and videos. They don't need to be recreated; why mess with perfection? His family story has already been told in more accurate detail on the TV movies that refreshed what I already knew about him because I remember when they happened. This movie is now available on pay TV for $24.00. Guess who ain't gonna pay to see it?
  11. @Pioneer1 As, usual, the scenario your defective mind "pictures" is way off the mark thanks to the "Authentic Ignorance" of your mentality. Now trot on back to your stall and "eat yo pancakes".
  12. @Pioneer : I know this will be difficult for you since you're allergic to accuracy but can you, for one moment, divest yourself of the defective lens you view the world through and tell me how those pictures of me are "all over the internet". And WHO is it you mistakenly presume I owe an apology to? Otherwise, stfu.
  13. New York City has erupted into an orgy of celebration, its streets swarming with crowds delirious with joy over the KNICKS ending their 53-year drought and defeating the San Antonio Spurs to become NBA champions! Congrats to them as they leave no doubt as to which was the better team by winning 4 out of 5 games to take the crown. Good job!! It's a sign of the times that victorious sports teams are generating so much enthusiasm from their followers. LIfe looms so uncertain, - is filled with such strife, due to the political and economic turmoil stifling the country, that people are desperate for things to cheer about. Anything to invest their hopes in! Here in Chicago, even our hapless white Sox, have the city excited because for the first time in 7 years, the team is playing .500 ball, even as BEAR fans can hardly wait for football to return, hoping for another thrilling season to distract us from the national conflict. Keeping up with the home teams has certainly added a little excitement to my hum drum existence. Sending the message that "good things come to those who wait," makes the KNICKS even bigger heroes. Electing a competent, respectable leader to succeed Donald Trump is certainly worth waiting for!
  14. That ol Cynique thinks she's smart, tryna steal my thunder.This jive ass nigga will teach her a lesson. Don't mess with Pioneer! I'm a cool dude!
  15. @ProfD Those who observe societal behavior have always claimed that women dress to impress other woman, - that they value the opinion of their peers more than men. This has come to be true in other areas, too. When it comes to appearance, they are more fixated on being admired and envied by females more than males, always pricing each others' clothes and checking labels and what stores someone shops at. I just don't equate self-improvement with low self-esteem. Acknowledging that you're not perfect and electing to improve on what you have, is a positive approach. "Vanity, thy name is 'woman'."
  16. @Pioneer1 You thought wrong, as usual.
  17. @Pioneer1 Thats not a fact, And the only person asking that question is your dumb ass.
  18. @Pioneer1 You, of all people, complaining about people posting pictures. That says a lot about you and your phony-assed self, not to mention the false claim of the pix being "all over the internet". Incidentally, it's the same person in both photos. You are so full of BS.
  19. @Pioneer1 You're not curious.You're a nosy ol fart. MYOB! You're also a psycho control freak whose single goal is to try and keep control of a narrative that portrays you an upstanding guy, instead of the malicious, conniving, pathological liar that you are.
  20. @ProfD Word is that Hammond is pretty much a done deal because property taxes would skyrocket if Chicago took on that project, so that made it a deal breaker. The Bears did buy property in the Chicago suburb of Arlington Heights, a defunct racetrack site but that didn't work out.. Oh well, they say it will take 5 years to complete construction on a brand new modern stadium, sooo I won't worry about it. zzzzz zzzzz
  21. @ProfD I wouldn't say low self-esteem is the only reason. It's not necessarily even a case of wanting to look like somebody else. It's often just a case of wanting to become your "best self"; just as easily a case of self- love, rather than self-hate. It's presumptuous to suggest that one size fits all when it comes to why a woman decides to improve her appearance. Men would do well to stop trying to define women. 😉
  22. @ProfD No, but social media is a microcosm of the population at large.
  23. @ProfD There seems to be kind of a consensus among Blacks (on social media) that Karmelo was in the wrong but that his sentence was much too harsh and that he should've been charged with Manslaughter...
  24. @ ProfD: I was just wishing that some trillionaire would show up and volunteer to build a new all expense free stadium in Chicago so the Bears wouldn't have to settle for one in Hammond Indiana... OK back to more serious things 😜
  25. @Pioneer1 As usual , you distorted what I said to compose your strawman argument. You don't know any other way to represent yourself. Lying is second nature to you. You are truly one of the few black man I can't stand. You are the embodiment of everything that I dislike in a person.
