************************************************************************************ I post over there from time to time. There's some good information to be found on all their various forum topics. But there is also a lot of drama and mess and the mods don't do a good job tamping it down. There's really no way to tell who is who as far as white people pretending to be Black. I don't understand what the point of a white person being on a Black forum is anyway, especially when there are so many white forums they can participate in. ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ @ProfD Not really. Having to get a job is a mindset, like being in poverty. Earning passive income is also a mindset, and can be easily achieved. Especially now when people can earn income by using the internet to setup websites or self-publishing books and a hundred other ways. Obviously there is some initial work involved, but passive income is not that difficult. ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ Good Morning @Cynique I see you got up on the wrong side of the bed again, for the 31,025th time. You are like a dog with a bone and in desperate need of a new attitude, so go listen to some Patti LaBelle or something, and try to snap out of it. Have a NICE day! ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ @Dr Francis Welsin I apologize but I did not mean you directly, but "you" as a general term for all the dummies in NYC that keep voting for dopes like DeBlasio and this latest one. @ProfD Whatever. The more likely reason is that they haven't had the chance to relocate yet. Nobody wants to live in rat infested, firetrap tenements. I'm not saying that everybody lives like that, just making a general broad comment. If the majority of NYC residents won the lottery or came into some other windfall, I'm pretty sure that the first thing they would do is get the eff out of dodge. That's what I would do. ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ @richardmurray Thank you for the breakdown. Yes, I am aware that he was a police officer, besides being Black. One of my last visits to NYC I lodged at the Lowe's on Lexington, I was attending a function at the Waldorf, and I hoofed it because it wasn't that far. I cannot imagine doing that today. I know that there is a large population and that the odds of something untoward happening to a person are slim, but it is scary when you hear about people getting stabbed or shot just walking down the street, or being assaulted in the subway station or on the train. I really hope that this new mayor can turn the city around. It would be great if NYC did not resemble a massive crime scene from a dystopian movie. Stay safe everybody ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ @Cynique I do not guzzle any Trump-laced Kool-aid because I have a mind of my own, unlike your brainwashed self. But thank you for expending your last bit of life force to type all of that outdated mumbo jumbo about the democrats versus the Republicans. In case you haven't noticed, the Republican Party is for the working class, and the democrats represent the elites. Democrats such as the arugula eating Barack Obama, who is too preoccupied with building his billion dollar presidential library to concern himself about children being shot dead in Chicago. Why don't you stop blaming people of white supremacy, when it is your own taskmaster, Joe Biden, the lifelong segregationist, who refers to Black men as boys, and all his other racist rhetoric. Biden’s History of Racist Remarks You are the typical dummycrat, trying to obfuscate your own party's guilt by blaming Republicans/Conservatives for being racists, when nothing could be further from the truth. You remember what truth is, don't you? ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ @nels This is a VERY important topic because we need to get off of the working for a living treadmill, otherwise known as the rat race, and earn more passive income, because that is the key to creating wealth. Mining Crypto, and other methods of earning Crypto like investing, staking and lending, is a great way to earn income passively. ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ I hate to say this but you all voted for him, so deal with it. If you all were smart you would have voted for the guardian angel and this nonsense wouldn't be happening right now. But everybody wanted to vote for the Soul Brother. It's nice to have Black people in elected office and positions of power, but not if they don't work for the people. This new mayor seems to be out for himself. ************************************************************************************

The salient point is that all the COVID vaccines are approved under the FDA's Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). They have NOT undergone the usual stringent testing for potency, efficacy and purity to get approved. That's why there are dangerous side effects, and these vaccines do not seem to work very well since there is one booster after the next. And you can't sue the pharmaceuticals or anybody else if you are injured by a side effect. Jesus the Christ could promote this vaccine and I still would not take it. But if you all enjoy being a pin cushion/guinea pig, be my guest.

************************************************************************************ @nels I have had some time to reflect on your original question, What does it mean to Be Black as opposed to Identify as Black? And to keep my answer as simple as possible, I believe that Being Black is a condition And Identifying as Black is a choice. ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ @nels I recently got my first Helium Hotspot to earn money from the IoT. It generates Helium which is on the Ethereum blockchain, I wrote about it in the Mzuri Crypto Report thread. I think that any form of Crypto mining is the way to go if you want to earn passive income. I have another unit on order and I plan to expand upon this effort gradually over time. +++ THE MZURI CRYPTO REPORT +++ ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ This is propaganda. It is untrue and demonstrably false. Again the propaganda is FAR more powerful a motivator than fear alone. @Troy This is NOT propaganda. It's facts. Demonstrate how it is false please. Why don't you do some research instead of dismissing what people are saying here. I don't even like to post links anymore because here you come with your accusations of conspiracy theories/propaganda. All of the COVID vaccines and boosters are distributed under the FDA's Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). THIS IS FROM THE PFIZER WEBSITE: NEW YORK & MAINZ, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) and BioNTech SE (Nasdaq: BNTX) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has expanded the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) of a booster dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine to include individuals 12 years of age and older. The booster dose is the same dosage strength (30-µg) as the dose approved in the primary series. https://www.pfizer.com/news/press-release/press-release-detail/pfizer-and-biontech-receive-us-fda-emergency-use-0 That is all the links I will post on this topic. There is more about EUA on the other pharma sites as well as the FDA site. Please research this matter for yourself and don't dismiss my posts or comments as propaganda again. ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ @Cynique I'm just a regular participant, unlike you, a moderator that deletes people's comments. Are you still getting your fake news from CNN? If so, you are a rarity since they have lost much of their viewership lately. CNN'S RATINGS ARE IN THE TOILET Poor old crusty Dummycrat still suffering from a severe case of Trump derangement syndrome. Perhaps you should try drinking some Constant Comment for that, I heard it soothes the troubled mind. You might try sweetening that cup of tea with a little bit of honey, since your sour personality seems in desperate need of something ambrosial. BTW, I'm glad you posted, now I can stop worrying whether your battle-ax behind has succumbed. ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ @nels Unfortunately, there are people who will try to make up their own 'facts' to suit their narrative. They distort facts in the same way that they distort their own racial identities. And because most Black people are very accepting, it is easy for these types of manipulators to shape-shift into Blackness. @richardmurray Facts are facts. It does not matter what anybody thinks about it. @richardmurray You read between the lines because it seems you did not understand what I was attempting to convey. ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ @nels Biden has a 33% approval rating. Could it get any worse. And now he's trying to call the Republicans segregationists when he's the one! ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ I hate to admit it but I used to be a democrat back in the day. I worked on my local Jesse Jackson presidential campaign and other foolishness. I came to my senses when Bill Clinton admitted to being a liar and I was further appalled when all of the democrats in Congress rallied around Clinton and defended him. I felt like such an idiot because I had defended him myself before I realized that he was a liar and that he had fornicated with the intern in the Oval Office. He also lied about his relationship with Paula Jones, and the story she told about him dropping his pants in front of her were true. For that and a hundred other reasons, democrats make me sick. ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ Masks don't work for COVID because the virus is airborne and it can enter your system through the eyes. That is why you see most health professionals wearing goggles in addition to their masks. ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ @richardmurray You must have done some serious reading between the lines since I didn't say any of that. Patton can identify herself however she wants but if she is biracial with a white mother and a Black father, she is mulatto. And that is not my opinion, that is a fact. Since you seem to have missed my point, I find it insincere for a half Black woman to bear a child for whitey, then profess her Blackness and that of her offspring. If she's such a Soul Sister and down for the cause, she should have gestated a baby by a Black man and contributed a majority Black person to the population. But that's just what I think about it. In a free world, people can get down with whoever they want. ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ Washing dishes is a low skill job, but that doesn't mean the person doing that job has no other skills. That is what Mayor Adams doesn't seem to get with his blanket statements about how certain workers couldn't be productive in a corner office. Just like waiting tables might be considered as low skill, but you need people skills in a job like that, if you plan on earning TIPS and having happy customers. There are people in corporate jobs and other white collar positions that aren't even good at dealing with people, and that is one of the most important/valuable skills you can have. NYC has a Mayor that ran a great campaign, but he lacks people skills and he probably can't wash dishes either. ************************************************************************************

@Troy How is it antiquated if it's still in use? I am not marginalizing anything. I simply asked why anyone would want to live in a third world country. How many times are you going to ask me what I meant by "third world"? I already posted a link to the dictionary definition of it above. And I'm pretty sure you understand what I meant. What else do you want from me? How is that disparaging? Yes, you can have third world living conditions in the United States of America if you are living in an area without electricity or running water, but the United States of America is not a third world country. I live in a 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom house, and all my close neighbors are millionaires. They are doctors, lawyers, business owners/executives and such. This is not the most expensive part of town but it's damn close. I am retired, I have worked all my life, and I'm still earning passive income in addition to my pensions, etc. If someone else wants to live in a trailer/mobile home, on the road in an RV, in a tent, some other configuration of a house, move to Ghana or Nigeria or some other war-torn, terrorist infested location, I don't really give a care. You. Do. You.

************************************************************************************ @nels Your question is an unanswerable riddle. You are either Black or you are not. I think this Patton woman is as phony as they come. She married a white man and bore him a blonde child that appears to be totally white, but she wants everybody to know that she's really a Soul Sister when she is nothing but a hypocrite. Another one that I can't stand is Halle Berry. She also married white men and had their children. And now she insists that her quadroons are actually Black people. If she wanted Black children, shouldn't she have gotten herself impregnated by Black men. Plus Halle has had all kinds of plastic surgery to remove any traces of her ethnic Negroid features so why is she advocating for Blackness. And on top of that, she can't act her way out of a paper bag but that's besides the point. I'm so tired of these fake ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ I come here to connect with other writers and publishers and whoever else. And for the conversation. I don't think your forums would ever be dead because there will always be someone to fill that void. ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ He won't be loved by anybody if he keeps on insulting people. Even dumb people don't like it when somebody tells them they are dumb. And hardworking people don't like to be told that they are lazy. This dude probably should have stayed out of politics because his people skills are sorely lacking. Exactly. They are working their way through school and sometimes they do it as a side hustle during their career to supplement their income. This work is nothing to be ashamed of. I have done it and I don't appreciate people who would put someone else down because they work in the service industry. That mayor could ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ @nels It's the C C P involvement in all of this that's so scary to me. ************************************************************************************

************************************************************************************ I do not watch most of these Black television programs such as Black-ish, Empire, and whatever else. Back when whitey wrote scripts and dialog, Blacks were mostly given acting roles that portrayed us as hoe-ish women, gangster men, single mother families, employed in menial jobs, and all the other negative connotations that whitey thought about Blacks. Now that Blacks have their own production companies and movie studios, and more Blacks are writing scripts and dialog, Blacks are still given acting roles that portray us in the same manner that I stated above. The women are always out to get laid, the men are shady, children come from broken homes, we are cast in some sort of dancing or singing role, being funny, being the side-kick or some subservient variation of driving Miss Daisy to the Piggly-Wiggly. I don't think that much has changed. Film continues to show us as second class citizens, and then in real life we emulate how we see ourselves on the movie screen. Once in awhile there is a biographical type of movie that reflects Black lives in a positive light, but not nearly enough to make an impact. It's a sick repetitive cycle that never ends. ************************************************************************************
