Beyoncé does appropriate imagery but at least she does it from her culture. She's owning her stuff. Thats from Mr Carter.  There's an interesting interview with Damon Dash. Are they Billionaires yet and have they signed Warren Buffet's list. 

Some of the spoken is by a UK poet. The interview of Warren Buffett and Jay-Z by Steven Forbes was interesting. 

@Troy Darius James filmaker and author.

Samuel Delaney one of my favorite authors. He is genius writer. And he is probably accesible plus he is a good persontp ask about publishing. He is an openly Gay professor at U Mass. Wrote the sci fi classic Dahlgren  and has a pice in the antholgy of Avant Pop Fiction.

I have an Afro-Cuban friend and he admires Black Music. I an African women tild me she felt sorry for Black Americans. My barometer with all people is one of a few things, can they think rationally, are they emotionally intelligent and are they diminishing me. That is inthe reverse order of importance. 

Troy iwas ridinga fix gear for 10 hours a day with stuff on m back when i was in my 40's. New Yorkers think they are at the center of things. So is the butt hole. Ill engage with different points of view.  Ignore when needed or be mentally combative if i have a worthy opponent. 

There is as this big Jamaican dude named Bob i think that was his name. He was a massive dude he rode a fix and was a messenger. He had one leg. And Country rode fix before itwas crazy popular.  And my man Chuckie. And my brother Tabu from the Soul Summit Parties in Brooklyn.  Shamelessly name dropping.

My  psychic friend is into Ifa . She feels  Beyoncé is a role model. Is she.  I was going to respond with the pic of Jay-Z Warren Buffet and Steve Forbes. Instead i read the interview. It is possible that you are both correct. Even though your conclusuonis based onyour feelings about Beyoncé. My feelings about Jay-Z and  have changed since reading the article I have changed my opinion. Which illustrates a belief of my mine. You can't have an open mind unless you are aware of your beliefs , assumptions , and biases.

Sure the Beyonce's team have coopted these images various belief systems...but surely you know this is for purely for the purpose of generating revenue, right? 

You're kidding right?

Its a gold mine if it has a back entrance.

I have had the opportunity to drop into different worlds. Corporate America.  Wall Street. European Artists. The artsy fartsy crowd. Bike Messengers. House heads and hip hoppers. I am no aware that i am always fighting to be me and not be subsumed by group think. I see myself as a Black Magickal Philosophical Hippie that can dance. I am not interested in being labelled or categorized. Prejudice is prejudging things fue to lazy thinking.

However I am starting to realize don't enagage with non thinkers or close minded people. 

Pioneer there is a psychopathology in the black community. That exists seperate from White culture. 

Hell White people cant meet White People standards but berate you fir not living up to it. Early Hollywood was populated and run by Jewish people. Yet you didn't  see positive Jewish images. Ralph Lauren with his whole waspy Polo things is really Ralph Lifshitz from the Bronx .

Black Slaves brutalized their women. No your comparing us to a monolithic mythology. 

Troy that's more like it. Although I woukd prefer to sound high than drunk. 

To Mel its refreshing to hear a Magickal perspective from a thinker. 

To Cynique I always enjoy your perspective and clear thought. 

@Troy that is poeotic. Lately i have been agreeing with you.  Whatsvis goung on with you have you become a meditating Vegan. hee hee hee 

If it took 200 years for you to have civil rights you're not a citizen. You're  persona non gratis.  A darks spot to be erased. Which is why we have been invisible for close to 200 years in history and the media.  Any press is sure to be negative because Black people didn't disappear like the Native people. 

Do you think the reaction would be different if he was a woman. 

@Troy Beyonce is a religious icon. She is using a lot of Its references. A fellow Psychic and It's Priestess has posted on this. Notice the whole New Orleans. Oshun

Checking my Crystal Ball I have these followwing predictions

From December 2 2016 to January 19 2018 Transiting Mars(drive) is making beneficial aspects to Jupiter(expansion); Uranus(the unexpected); North Node(destiny); Moon(body); Sun(essence); Saturn(structure). From February 10 2017 to March 7, 2017 Trans Mars is in Aries and in the 8th house of other people's money. Mars in the 8th is trine Pluto in the 12th. Both known and unseen investors will assist Trump. February 21, 2017 - February 28, 2017 Mars in the 8th sextile Uranus, Sun and North Node. Trump likes to push things but he also is very good at creating opportunities out of adversity. March 5, 2017 Mars in Aries in the 9th trine Mars in Leo in the 12. An overseas or international investors assist Trump behind the scenes.

 

Details of his debt obligations will also surface between February 2 February 26, 2017. It will also become clear that he is closer to his daughter than his wife. There may be some controversy through the end of March of work that Donald Trump or members of his family have undertaken.

I had a look it appears that an investment partnership becomes public knowledge. There is a conflict of interest. This appear to be mid April 2017. April 2017 appears to be a particularly difficult month. In the following areas: Education; Investments and Family.

@Pioneer1 why not just get personal gain from the secular? Cut out the middleman.

@Troy When I was living in NYC i made it a point to go out at night. Granted Dance Parties dominated the mix, I did try and cover a few difffernt  genres it up. I even ran into you and Jasper in Brooklyn. I can't remeber who was performing though. I met a few people who ran parties or did performances and various types of artists. They like you had to create something from their heart that didn't exist in the world. The motivation wasn't financial. Granted there may have been the need to be recognized or acknowledged. I check into your site because Cynique has one of the finest critical minds I have ever met. And you my friend are a passionate, yet open and giving visionary. There are some new flavors developing on your site. 

Glad the universe brought us together.

@Troy You are running an international Salon

Here's a a first I am including a Wikipedia Link

Salon (gathering) - Wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salon_(gathering)Proxy  Highlight

A salon is a gathering of people under the roof of an inspiring host, held partly to amuse one another and partly to refine the taste and increase the knowledge of the participants through conversation. These gatherings often consciously followed Horace's definition of the aims ...

@Troy it is difficult to fight characaters like T Rump and the other guy. Either you try to use logic and they drown you out or you yell like they do. Neither is a winning strategy. Or you do what you have been doing. Keep in people's ear. Get people to think beyond their emotional response to every situation. You have literally thousand of people listening. They may not respond for any number of reasons, but they are intersted. They are the elite that I am referring to, people who think or even better ask questions. 

Babershops are great places to be warm by lots of words, great wordplay some rhetoric but how ofetn is it provocative or evocative. BTW that Mollusk scene in Barbershop was brillaint. Troy you have no competition. You will see yu influence and effectiveness when one of your members  is Celebrated. Or when a Celebrity plugs your site. I reckon in 10 - 15 years.

In the words of Michael Che, noone really cares. You don't even care that much. 

@Pioneer1There are three types of schools. Schools that teach you how to be a worker, how to be a manager, and how to think. If you want to run stuff or be able to think. Either you have to be chosen or accepted into those elite schools. Having money can get you in but not having it  doesn't mean exclusion. Or you can teach and train yourself. Most people including you are too lazy to make the effort to buy a book, borrow a book or click the mouse. The information is out there it just required more effort than buying a dope pair of sneakers.

 Occasionaly people show up that encourage us to think. Which is different than charismatic leaders who require submission from their followers. Malcolm X is one of the few to go from Charismatic to Avatar.

Quite a few "leaders" fall into the Guru trap. The milk their followers for money sex and influence. I hear lots of would be leaders having the prescription for what ails ___.

Pride and Arrogance is one of the worst traits a would be leader can have.

In addition you will notice that "Leaders" can be worse for the followers by giving them a quasi religousexistential rationalisation.

So they real unvarnished answer is none gives two _____. 

@Pioneer1 The answer is  in your post. It just requires a change of perspective. However that isn't easily done for most for most people.

@Troy I am in total agreement with your analysis. That's twice what is the world coming to when ... hee hee hee

@Mel Hopkins Let me know if you would like a magickal spell. You can either choose to request a specific type of day. Or a general spell. If you are not interested that is fine as well.

Yes it is disingenuous . And that is where the fight should be taken. If you are so inclined. Either he will have to throw his boys under the bus or lie. Either way his credibility and  authority is put into question. Trump Conway and Spicer are master of doublespeak and rhetoric. They all use a few techniques. 

@Troy Power uses racism to cause divisions. Those without power are racist. There is a distinction between elitist and racist. Even amongst the rich there is a pecking order of new versus old which is also a function of having class. Since they are in the same economic class.

He's down with the alt right. They are not down with homosexuality.

It is interesting he is conservative and Gay. Unless my Gaydar is off.

By 2024 it will be a thing of the past @Troy

Troy oddly enough I totally agree with you. The conservative xenophophism use whatever ism's come to mind is just away to divide people and pick their pockets. It may be on the way out in the next decade.

@Pioneer1 Lke I always say everyone is correct in their opinion.

What Cynique described has been my observations of many so-called "seers".
They seem to put out generalized vague information that could be applied to MOST people.

Saying things like,
"You're a deep and emotional person and no one completely understands you and your potential".

Ofcourse most people feel this way, it's called an ego and self awareness.
 

Or they'll sense a person's flaws and play on them like telling an unattractive person,
"Your social life is in turmoil because you keep looking for Mr./Mrs. Right but can't seem to find them".

Ofcourse most unattractive people have issues dealing with the opposite sex.


Most sharp individuals with keen observation skills can size people up in 5 minutes.
Sometimes without even talking to them.
Much of it involves a basic understanding of human psychology.


My test for the authenticity of astrologers or psychics who claim to be able to predict future events is a scientific one.
Give me a specific event and a specific time and lets see if it comes true.
No vague generalizations.

I wrote this on Feb 6, 2017 7:42 am in Donald Trump could be the next President
