  1. Yes, I've come across numerous links and various books and excerpts regarding slavery reparations. From what I've read and glanced at so far, it appears highly unlikely that reparations will ever see the light of day and survive.
  2. "Web Based Misinformation Fuels Racisms" - One could easily discount that and say that ignorance, illiteracy and and many other relevant and related factors are to blame. IMO, only the weak-minded and gullible are consistently susceptible to misinformation, unable to discern, analyze, evaluate and conclude based on (truth-based) facts, logic, reason and iron-clad rationale. Not understanding what misinformation really is no one's fault but that of the individual who believes it. Perhaps what we do know is that black people aren't necessarily helping their cause by committing crimes at a rate that exponentially exceeds their value to society.
  3. I don't support reparations or compensation. However, I do support being afforded a level playing field (perhaps even as a legislated or constitutional mandate), which usurps all of the apparent nonsense that seems to be derived from DEI, EEO and many other generally misdirected and misguided initiatives, political postures, and the like. Level playing fields tend to literally take away the (judicial. legislative, economic, social, military, etc.) advantage of the elite class and as a result, which causes a tremendous amount of friction. IMO, black America needs to stop seeking redress and instead, should focus on positioning itself to seize initiatives that prioritize outcomes over race.
  4. One might easily wonder why black America spends so much time trying to unblack itself.
  5. Didn't say that or imply. Just noting a perspective. Sounds judgmental.
  6. IMO, when you compartmentalize, tier and block (so to speak) social engagement in an environment where you're trying to promote a level playing field and encourage meaningful participation, it can eventually lead to bifurcation. As a result, there is a reduced likelihood that the participants will converge at some point further down the line. Also, earning capabilities, privileges, etc. can sometimes have a tendency to discourage quality interactions. Just a perspective based on past observations.
  7. The so-called black community of people who are obviously black by phenotype alone, tend to welcome almost anyone into their cauldron of blinding racial misery. Sad.
  8. https://decider.com/2023/08/09/ladies-first-a-story-of-women-in-hip-hop-on-netflix-review-stream-it-or-skip-it/ Adding more fuel to the argument that Black Americans are their own worst enemy?
  9. Per the photo, Joy-Ann Reid - as many people have repeatedly said, she is arguably one of the dumbest individuals to have ever been put in front of a camera.
  10. All happening, while Black America is getting crushed by its own ignorance, stubbornness and stupidity.
  11. Cynique, it's just too easy to get a rise out of you. Totally predictable and amusing, indeed. I am not interested in trying to get anyone on this board to leave the safety of their own backyard(s). From the beginning, it was very obvious that this was an uninformed and immovable liberal discussion platform that bounces between the guardrails of sheer ignorance and pure insanity. On reflection, if one didn't know better, they'd swear it was infiltrated by CCP trolls. Nothing here is taken seriously, nor is it a sampling of demonstrable intellectual prowess. I will say that as long as you keep reacting instead of thinking, you'll be destined for a continued long life of political, social and (perhaps) financial irrelevance, at a minimum. And yes, it's quite nice down here on the ground where slithering is indeed an art, sans dodging the clown car you're in as it blindly barrels down the highway. One more thing, you do a great job of insulting yourself. Troy, the pleasure of receiving your humorous digs is entertaining. Helps pass the time, too. Remember, I'm not expecting a course correction from you or anyone else here. Only time will show you how close you are to the last fork in the road.
  12. Laughable. Black Americans are too busy trying to unblack themselves.
  13. Cynique, I see you're still alive and kickin'. How unfortunate. I knew there was a reason why I took a very nice long break from this discussion board. It's simply amusing to watch liberals and leftists self-destruct, no matter what they think about conservatives or themselves, for that matter.
  14. I'll reluctantly refrain from denigrating your knowledge of global politics. Though I haven't been on this board for a while, that's an interesting perspective.
  15. Don't see any problem with that. And for reference: https://iqtestprep.com/list-of-iq-tests/ | I remember the very first IQ test I took; scored 138. Subsequent tests were about the same, give or take 5 to 11 points. Then I suddenly realized that it went down every time I watched an NFL game. I don't watch professional sports anymore. LOL!!! Couldn't agree more.
  16. The following videos are but a few of the hundreds of thousands that highlight the same sad message and state of affairs for America's youth and its future. Yes, there are and may be times when videos can be manipulated, but at this rate and juncture, that probably is 'not' the case here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vs9ZpZJPgSA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEbWm9Wh-kE
  17. Nope. Black slave traders actually sold off their own people just to make a buck? Hmmm... Don't see that printed anywhere in the mainstream media these days. https://www.thoughtco.com/african-slave-traders-44538 "Another reason that African enslavers were so willing to sell off fellow Africans was that they felt they had no other option. As the trade of enslaved people intensified in the 1600s and 1700s, it became harder not to participate in the practice in some regions of West Africa. The enormous demand for enslaved Africans led to the formation of a few African states whose economy and politics were centered around raiding for and trading enslaved people."
  18. Until Black America stops drinking the Democrat Kool-Aid, it will be destined for failure. Best line I've seen in a while.
