Been following the story all morning.

No words to describe my feelings on this....

************************************************************************************

I haven't kept up with the government's policies about Haitians because they usually

enter through Florida and it never concerned me, but I do know that they have been

treated differently throughout the years. 

I just found this article, it is old but still contains useful information:

U.S. Immigration Policy on Haitian Migrants

I feel that right now, because of their recent earthquake disaster, sending these people 

back to Haiti is WRONG!!!

********************************************************************************

ICYMI, this is in the news today: 

U.S. Ramps Up Plan to Expel Haitian Migrants Gathered in Texas

I live on the U.S./Mexico border so I'm not thrilled about what is going on with unknown

people coming here from who knows where being shipped all over the nation, with many

of them remaining in my local area. 

One of the reasons I don't like it is because of the criminal elements, there's enough crime 

already going on here without importing more people who are in survival mode, who don't

have any other option than to resort to illegal activities in order to eat.

Supposedly, there are migrants coming in from 160 nations, and even though I don't want

them here, I think it's unfair of the U.S. government to expel/deport one group but not the

others, especially when it appears that this decision is being made because of skin color.

If the government is going to expel/deport these people, then they should get rid of them

all, not just the Black ones.

Our government is a bunch of RACISTS!!!

That's so funny because I thought that as well.

We don't have a Black social media platform, but we have Troy's forum,

and thank God for that.  

BTW @Troy if you read this, I love this forum software, it works really smooth.

I always think of that girl on the old forum that said your software was bootleg.

Remember that?

Yeah, again Joy Ann beefing with Minaj is just silly and made worse because it is for the entertainment of white folks.

 

Joy Ann proclaims she is a fan, which comes across as disingenuous given the other words coming out of her mouth -- a true fan would not slam Minaj in such a fashion particularly without having done even a cursory research of her tweets.  I wish I could have asked Joy Ann name five Minaj songs.  

 

What is that on top of Joy Ann's -- Sorry, I'm only human 

*****************************************************************************

Joy Ann Reid looks foolish with her various wigs and when she opens her

mouth it confirms that she's gone off the rails. 

Most of the things she says don't even make sense anymore.

I don't care for Nicki either, but what she is saying needs to be said. 

Unfortunately, she's spent her entire career exposing her boobs and 

twerking her behind so most people don't take her seriously, and

that's too bad because this topic is extremely important.  

Black people are NOT monolithic so individuals need to decide for 

themselves whether to take the COVID vaccine or not.

• I get email almost everyday about some book I posted that Facebook does not like and is cut from the platform.
• Authors often complain about book reviews being disallowed on am*zon.
• Google banned this entire discussion forum when it was on http://thumperscorner.com from serving their ads because of comments they did not like.  They could have easily disallowed ads on the individual pages they had an issue with, but they summarily banned the entire domain!  That was the reason I relocated the discussion forum to AALBC's domain.

I could go on and on about this subject and how corporate algorithms are designed to maximize revenue period. Any social good is incidental.  Obviously the rich and power who own the platforms control the narrative.

 

I think it is noteworthy that the WSJ would report on this.  But, they are largely preaching to the choir.  The people who really need to understand this are stuff are too busy scrolling through TikTok and Instagram videos.

 

It irks me to no end when Black people proclaim how our people are somehow advanced by using Facebook or any other social media platform that we have no control over.

*****************************************************************************

To me, as a common citizen, all of this is frightening.  

Social media is censoring our speech, search engine results are being manipulated

to keep us in the dark, certain people are being blacklisted because of their opinions 

or political beliefs, with some platforms going so far as to shut down the President

of the United States of America. 

Regardless of what anyone thinks of Trump, if they can shut down the president 

what chance does a regular person have of expressing their opinions?  What has 

happened to our Constitutional right to freedom of speech when we can be shut

down for any minor infraction, and they won't even tell us what we've done.

And then you hear whispers that foreign agents have infiltrated many of these

corporations and that they are behind these decisions, that foreign governments

have wined and dined members of our news media, and that Americans aren't

really in control anymore.

It's like being in the Twilight Zone.

Candace Owens was a victim of discrimination in college and enlisted the help of the NAACP to fight for her and win a law suit on her behalf.

 

Racist threats case filed by Stamford High student settled for $37,500 (newstimes.com)

 

 

 

And how did she repay the NAACP and Black community?

By selling them out and turning into a Trump supporting Conservative Republican who denies racism (except when it happens to her) and attacks her own people for her right-wing supporters.

But does two wrongs make a right?

 

So something "happening to you" isn't necessarily a result of bad behavior.
 

This is why I say, cops shouldn't be judge, jury, and EXECUTIONER on the streets.  That's why there's a legal system to protect people.

***************************************************************

Usually, two wrongs don’t make it right but sometimes it can. 

For example, if someone keeps messing with me and so I kick

them in their face and then I feel better.  

It just feels right.

Have you ever felt something was right when it should have

felt wrong?

This was just an illustration, I don’t actually kick people.

Unfortunately bad things happen to innocent people, and I 

believe that you increase your chances of something untoward

happening by engaging in risky behavior.

A friend of mine was upset because she didn’t like the police

but she got pulled over while driving.  When I asked her about

it she admitted she was speeding.  If she didn’t want a police

encounter, like most people, she would have driven at/under

the speed limit.

I love that movie Judge Dredd where the police are all those

things.

With the way that crime is spiraling out of control right now,

and the court systems unable to keep up, that may be what

is needed in our future.

@Pioneer1

You blame Trump for inciting violence but look at how you

Trump haters are always bullying and beating up Trump

supporters just for wearing their MAGA hats and t-shirts.

People should be able to wear Trump gear without fear

of bodily harm.  

George Floyd didn't deserve what happened to him, that

was one of the worst things ever, but if you keep messing

around, something is eventually going to happen to you.

Progressives are a branch of the Republican party, so you

are really just a Republican at your core.

I agree that arguing on forums has gotten old, so stop

harassing @daniellegfny with the Uncle Remus pix.

You must admit that Elder is rather uppity.

Broadcasting on 300 radio stations and prime

Making commercials driving a speedboat,

wind whipping through his hair.  

(Was he smoking a cigar, I don’t remember.)

Challenging whitey, running for governor.  

And it is going to take much more than an angry

egg cast his way to scare him off or stop him.

The masked lady that threw the ovum should

have been arrested.

BTW current news reports are that Elder is in

That’s not fair. 

I think she may have been a bit hyperbolic...lol.
Perhaps she just means there are extra laws to protect them from being harassed while nursing their children.

I personally think women SHOULD have the right to breastfeed just about anywhere they like.
What's so offensive about seeing a titty?

This nation has too many sexual hang-ups when they NEED to get the violence and poverty under control.

*******************************************************

@Pioneer1 @daniellegfny

Everybody doesn't want to see a titty @Pioneer1

I swear there was a local news article that said if you

object in any way to a nursing mother you could be

arrested.  Of course, I can't find that article now.

I remember after I read it I explained to my husband

that if we are out and about somewhere and a woman

pulls her boob out, he needs to be quiet.  Because he

speaks his mind and tells people where to get off in

a minute.

One time, he told a youngster to pull his pants up and 

I warned him that he's going to mess around and get

shot if he doesn't mind his business.

Here's another article about nursing.

https://www.whattoexpect.com/first-year/breastfeeding/breastfeeding-in-public/

I'm not really bothered by it, I nursed my baby but I

would never do it in public.  Back then I was young

and free-spirited but I wouldn't expose my boobs,

not even to nurse.  

Now women act like they can't give their baby a 

bottle.  I don' t know what they are thinking.

I also feel that babies have the right to privacy,

just like everybody else.  

*******************************************************

*******************************************************

@Pioneer1

Your link was broken.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYwokUtb2Kg

I appreciate your thoughtful replies. 

You are correct about that woman being able to nurse

the baby, but I don't think that's why she was dressed 

that way. 

Here in Texas, women can nurse their babies openly,

wherever and whenever they want, and if you look at

them sideways, you are going to JAIL.

BTW, I couldn't read a CO book. That sounds like the 

biggest drag ever.  I'd rather read some Tolstoy.

If your momma is getting ready to go to the supermarket

in a see-through dress and a thong, I would hope that you

would tell her to put on some clothes.  I don't care if she's

grown, senile, blind or anything else.  

Some of these women (not your momma) don't have 

sense enough to know what is appropriate or not.  

I'm not sure what types of pix I can post here as examples

so I won't.  Checkout the Daily Mail and see what some of

these trashy women are wearing to the awards shows.  

My husband and I went to a steakhouse three years ago,

it was around 2:00 in the afternoon, there was a lady with

a baby at the salad bar, wearing one of those JLo dresses

(that green one she wore with Puff) that was slit down to

the naval and no bra. 

The woman looked like a complete idiot trying to juggle

her raggedy baby and keep her boobs covered with the

all open in the front dress, trying to plate her food.  

It would have been different at nighttime if she was

going to the club, but that dress was inappropriate

for daywear.

I don't need to worry about who makes the dress code 

rules at the supermarket, since I am properly attired 

wherever I go.  It ain't no joke when I show up.

That question was rhetorical and I had no reaction 

other than my comments.

Women exposing themselves is not about religion. 

It also is not about porn on television.  

It is about the real world.

Do you want your woman, mother, sister, daughter

going to the grocery store, restaurant, doctors

office dressed with their boobs all out, because

that is what women are doing now.  

I have seen it in person.

Do you want your children/grandchildren’s school

teacher coming to the classroom dressed like a

floozy? 

This should not be a partisan issue.
