Daniellegfny openly disparaged Africa, describing it as a place of regular beheadings

Funny? Hmmm... I've lived with real Africans before and they disparaged each other like it was some sort of tribal warfare. The big difference between them and blacks in the USA was that the Africans were exceptionally intelligent, they had very thick skin, and they were intensely focused on succeeding. Little if ever did I hear them whine about anything.

When I see / read (IMO) nonsensical passages, they remind me of something I read long long ago, and that is, "Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear, or an idiot from any direction".

p.s., "Heads up you super spy cadets!" | Insulting one's own self won't erase the massive gaslighting that black America is undergoing from the Democrats, The Left, the Mainstream Media, the globalists, the Marxists, socialists, communists and the like.

And remember, we usually don't realize what we've lost until it's gone - e.g., freedom, liberty and justice for all.

Black parents who claim to be pro black express shock and anger that their child decides to marry a white person

Who cares? Ignore the race crutch.

"Teaching your children about racism, how its practiced will ensure they wont marry white people". This statement reeks of pure lunacy.

Unfortunately, the Wonderlic test tells a lot more than some people want to hear or know. IMO, a fairly large major / majority of black people in America are deficient in the cognitive skills that are necessary to navigate life, business, challenge and much more. Many black athletes choose their profession as an out that compensates for their lack of intellect, opportunity, desire, ambition and the like. Until one can immerse themselves in their potential and capacity instead of their deficiencies and deflections, little progress will be made in achieving social parity and economic success.

Mzuri, appreciate the feedback.  I also had heard that after Aunt Jemima was canceled, the nephew of the woman originated the role was quite upset.

Believable Truth or Sublime Hyperbole?

https://www.amren.com/blog/2022/01/the-nfl-gets-rid-of-the-racist-wonderlic-test/

Dummies in the Mist? Any gems of wisdom, pearls of thought?

In today's super woke - hyper cancel culture - post-George Floyd era, blacks have suddenly and disproportionately been cast / inserted into nearly every facet of big and small screen entertainment, advertising, marketing and the like. Is this effort and push by probably mostly white paymasters a genuine pursuit of diversity, or is it just a deceptive feel-good moment?

Sadly, NYC has been headed down this road since the late 1970s, at a minimum. Wanton and unchecked corruption has plagued the city since its official naming in 1674. No matter what your political persuasion, NYC is headed into some rough waters for many years to come.

it is still the right of the home owner, yes

The analogy I made was to simplify the rationale that virtually anyone could apply to a sane citizenship enforcement effort; which is what we currently lack. The misdirected contextual call-outs and references in your (entire) response (and not just the quoted phrase) remind me of a circular firing squad; a bit nonsensical, for me. Suggest a read of the U.S. Constitution first; take your time. Lesson here, don't debate with the irrational. I'll leave it at that.

maybe Mexico City will one day allow non citizen residents to vote in that city

Sovereignty must always rule. A Simple Analogy: Your personal home is your sovereign kingdom. Would you allow anyone off the street to simply walk into your home, grab a bite to eat, displace you from your easy lounger, kick you out of your bed, shower in your bathroom, take your wallet, and walk right out the door unchallenged? Think again.

this new mayor can turn the city

Eric Adams kowtow's to the ideology of The Left. New York is headed into political, financial and social oblivion for at least the next two generations. All of those deceptive liberal whites and ignorant low-information blacks who keep voting for the same slate of dog crap over and over again, are going to continue to get exactly what they deserve - and that is, sheer 'misery' on steroids.

Common sense. Sovereignty 'rules the day'. Try voting in Mexico if you're not a citizen there and see how fast they haul you off to jail.

Being Black is a condition

Yes and IMO, it could also be paired with the social designation of being 'black'. Perhaps being 'black' is simply a construct of the mind, as well.

Let's qualify that - facts are indeed what happens at any given point in time. The distinction lies in whether or not those facts are 'made up' or 'real'.

I could care less if it's (in anyone's words) a 'multivider' or not. Absolutely no one is entitled to usurp the rights and sovereignty of any nation. In this regard, you might as well blow up the bridges because voting by non-U.S. residents of any kind is a non-starter.
