In that case, you might as well keep yours because everyone else is running to catch the next bus to success. Assuming you're a 'real' man :-), just for you, (Official Title - Stupid Black Men: How to Play the Race Card--and Lose Audio) "https://www.am*zon.com/Stupid-Black-Men-Play-Card/dp/1597771961"... "how we can bring balance among all human beings" ? Stop thinking about race.

Nah... We'll let you keep on digging the hole you're in. At some point, you'll realize that the sunlight has disappeared. "racist devils." ? | The sign of a small mind.

Pioneer1, you make absolutely NO sense. Black people who commit crimes ARE criminals, just like everyone else who does. Don't waste your room temperature-level IQ trying to explain away what you don't know. And yes, black people tend to spend a lot of their lives trying to un-black themselves. It is what it is.

First rule: Don't debate with the irrational.

Pioneer1, put that case of KY Jelly back in the closet and make some sense.

Pioneer1, when you finish with that crack pipe, let us know. It's unfortunate that so many people don't seem to understand that liberals are nothing but useful idiots of the left. Even worse, (white liberals, a la Malcom X: https://mychal-massie.com/malcolm-x-was-right-about-white-liberals/), are driving gullible low-information black Americans right off the cliff. At least that's what many non-informed black Americans think, as they say. Do your homework.

You get what you vote for.

tipsyturvp, it's amazing how so many black people in the United States who (more than not) have heavy Negroid phenotypes, tend to discount people who actually come from a mixed racial, ethnic and heritage background. It's as if these disgruntled discounters are hell-bent on making sure that every person who has any amount of so-called black blood (e.g., genes, etc.) is dragged down into the discounter's mental misery of not being able to escape their blackness. Don't worry about being black, just be thankful that you were born.

Will black America ever get past the race crutch?

More government corruption.

Keep on dreaming.

Suggest that someone get their "facts' straight before making such a statement.

"but she should learn to filter some of her nonsense. Every thought that pops into a person's brain does not need to be uttered to the general public." Say what ? ? ?

The police will stop killing black people when black people stop committing crimes and hating themselves while in the process.

What is the rationale for this perspective?

Laughable. It's quite obvious that you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, whatsoever. Sheer ignorance is an understatement, to say the least; don't speak to what you don't know. There is so much in the ridiculous explanation you provided that it calls into question your understanding of politics and voting, at a minimum. Even attempting to reply to the gaslit-induced response you gave would be a waste of time, and I'm certainly not going to try and convince or persuade you otherwise. Joe Biden actually lost his sorry lying corrupt butt off to Donald Trump in a massive landslide and darn near every Democrat out there knows it (literally), except perhaps for you and your faithful fellow believers; keep that CNN and MSNBC channel pipeline going, folks. As a software, systems, hardware and process engineer with many many decades of experience across more than 20 business and government verticals, it amuses me that people make up their own set of facts to support their irrational arguments. I watch them crash and burn all the time. Having worked for one of the largest voter registrars in the country and having an unbiased thorough understanding of exactly how clean elections at all levels (i.e., federal, state, local / municipal) work from end to end (e.g., planning, design, architecture, acquisition, procurement, staffing, vetting, vendors, ballots, tabulators, statistics, servers, networks, routers, cryptology, etc.), including the courts through which they adjudicate, the gap between what you think you know and what actually happened on November 3, 2020, is practically unimaginable. I have no problem taking heat in any forum and welcome 'real' challenges. However, when you demonstrate the logic of a scarecrow trying to take a shortcut through a brush fire, you lose your audience, your credibility., and more. Bounce back as much as you want, but you will never win this argument, at least with me. Keep the gaslighting coming and don't let the door hit you on the way out. Believe whatever you want and say whatever makes you feel better. It's good for your blood pressure.

Well, it certainly appears (to this AALBC participant) that they've got their hooks deep in your head. One thing about the brainwashed, they can't separate the gray matter from the dirty water. If you don't understand that you've been gaslit by the Democrats, the RINOs, the Left, the CCP, the Oligarchs, the Globalists, the Mainstream Media and the like, then there's little value in trying to mature this exchange. I did not resume engaging in discussions on these boards for the fun of it; I decided to see what was going on and perhaps bring some folks around to using their situational awareness skills to pay more attention to the current political and social arenas. When you don't pay attention, you don't know what you've lost until it's gone. In your case, I'll spare my fingers a few extra keystrokes on this thread. P.s., Get a better (honest) results map, you're going to need it. And, if you think Joe Biden got 81 million votes and the guy can't even fill up a 7-Eleven, then I've got some prime oceanfront real estate for you in Topeka, Kansas, for sale at a discount. Black people should follow their own mind.

Understood, Mzuri. Yes, I was expecting more too, but was very disappointed to see the same tired playbook repeat itself. Lee Daniels, Tyler Perry, Spike Lee and the rest of them have the capacity to step out of the mold and exercise bold black intellect. Instead, they fall back to the position of feeding eager-to-learn hungry black minds with minstrel-like performances and insulting visual and emotional caricatures and actions that further dehumanize the potential value that black America has to offer and has previously delivered. As a supplemental reference, black Hollywood is chronically being used and manipulated by an entertainment industry oligarchy that could care less about the challenges of a still struggling black America, or any other group for that matter. Sadly, black Hollywood itself, seems to consist mostly of people who wouldn’t be caught dead shaking the hand of the average Joe or Jane - - - e.g., having lunch with you would definitely be out of the question. "n8gglets"... You ought to trademark that. On spot.

Don't think race, think smart, and then you'll get somewhere. Until then, responding with emotion won't earn you any stripes. Do you know how you sound? Get past race ball and chain.

Correct. Unfortunately, a lot of people either can't see or don't want to acknowledge that cratering, and more. Sometimes, people have to hit their heads on the wall before they realize that the building they're in is collapsing right on top of them. Nonsense.

If (by chance) you're stuck in the Democrat party doldrums, then perhaps it's time to start thinking Republican, Independent or otherwise. If you study history, you'll find that it was the Democrat party ideology that drove the KKK and its influence in many respects, and much more. Setting the irrelevance of race aside, think for yourself and decide if you're open to new ideas, or are you simply accepting of rehashed failures. And remember, there are a lot of people and politicians out there who will try to make you fail. Prove them wrong with independent thinking and applied intelligence that is beyond their expectation and the norm. Politicians come a dime a dozen, but true leaders are worth their weight in gold. Bernie Sanders is a reckless Socialist idiot who has never ever cared about anyone but himself. If he had his way, he'd throw Jesus Christ under the bus. It's not my job to tell anyone who to vote for. It's their job to figure that out for themselves. I'm long past trying to drill common sense into people's heads. They're supposed to be adults, so let them use their best judgment. I've been around the block many times, and I've learned to keep the flamethrower in a safe place at the ready. If you're interested in having a mature dialogue, then I'm open to that. However, if you venture out to far on thin ice, the temperature may rise much faster than you think.

Re: https://www.theroot.com/our-kind-of-people-is-a-treasure-trove-of-good-writing-1847768924 IMO, regarding Lee Daniels' TV series on Fox called Our Kind of People, the series sucks. It's contrived erratic dialogue that drives the convoluted story line and disjointed interaction between skin color-sensitive upper-crusters and wannabees, appears to make them all come across as phony unrealistic achievers. Nearly the entire cast looks like it was assembled to mimic a geographically incorrect fake Redbone-fluid high society, burdened by the insecurity of their own existence and racial identity. Being or being perceived or classified as black, looks like it is preventing nearly the entire cast from being themselves. In closing, as it stands right now, the show is a bust and it's not worth the time it takes to literally open one's eyes.

The black mind should exercise common sense and stop looking at life through the prism of race, which is a crutch that is killing black ingenuity and excellence. If you're offended by the confederate flag, then you have a lot to learn.

Do you believe that separation is actually the reason? Think carefully, I'd say. Here we go again. Can life get past skin tone, for once? There's nothing anyone can do about how they were born, but they can do something about how they live. She's the dumbest (wo)man in television, right behind (freaky) Don Lemon.

IMO, the black race isn't the issue, it's the black mind that is the real challenge.
