ProfD IMO, it's not about disposable income because most people including white folks don't have it. They have more money than one may think. Even most homeless drugged out White folks curled up under a blanket on the sidewalk has ACCESS to money. All it takes is a 5 minute "conversation" with some of them to realize why they are in the condition they're in and how easy they can get out of it when they actually WANT to. White folks in America have money. And most of them have the type of connections that keep them from being prosecuted for putting deadly weapons in the hands of toddlers. If they were to try that in any European nation or probably even Canada, they would be prosecuted. But in the U.S....they often get away with it. However, weapons training, hunting and survivalism is white folks idea of *fun*. That and planning....and in some cases hoping...for a race war.

Good. Now bring Arsenio Hall back....lol.

ProfD Birth defects, cancer and other illnesses, diseases and conditions have been around for thousands of years. ....and THEY have causes too. Every disease had and has a cause. Including age related diseases. Whether or now we KNOW the cause (and in most cases they do even if they don't say) is a different issue. Troy Sure they do. many diseases are created from mutations. Some of those mutations are inherited others happen after you’ve been alive for a while That's not "thin air". That's an actual cause. So the cure would be to focus on the mutations and how to reverse them. Are you telling me that in 2025 where they can send rovers to Mars and shit....finding actual CURES for Cancers and Diabetes is too much to ask for? Maybe if they spend more time and money focusing on THAT instead of advancing weaponry and spinning out the latest social media apps and cell phones....these diseases would have BEEN eradicated. People have children with autism, but instead of taking their cause to D.C. and putting pressure on the government to come up with an actual cure.....some of them could care less and are more concerned about getting the latest iPhone.

ProfD I'm not a ballistics expert so I'm not sure one way or the other. The different explanations don't make sense to me though. Some 22 year old kid was such an "expert" that he was able to hit him in the chest but instead of the slug "bouncing off" anywhere....it just happened to bounce off and hit them dead center into his jugular??? Sounds like something off of a "Jason Bourne" movie.....lol.

Umbrarchist And when this was pointed out, they tried to "explain" this by claiming that the slug didn't actually hit him....but hit his chest and ricocheted off of a rib and hit him in the neck. And when it was pointed out that a 30.06 slug wouldn't "ricochet" off of anybody but go through them....they said he had on "under armor". But looking at his t-shirt, I'm not sure what kind of bullet proof clothing he had on under it because it fit just like a normal t-shirt. And when it was pointed out that a 30.06 slug is so powerful that it would USUALLY go through any bullet proof vest....but if it didn't....the force would have knocked his ass AND the chair back! He clearly collapsed and FELL out of his chair. They have yet to explain that one. The rabbit holes these racist clowns keep digging get deeper and deeper. ProfD If you see the video of the shot, the wound itself looks like an "exit"....not an entrance. First of all, if the wound where the blood was gushing out was really an entrance....then why didn't it knock him BACK in the opposite direction????

ProfD Those mayors were exceptional. Their *success* isn't the norm under the system of racism white supremacy. I'm not a huge fan of *exceptions* especially within a rigged system or game. Their success weren't the norm, however it was a genesis or a start of something that could have been much much bigger if other Black mayors would have followed their lead and Black folks would have become more politically aggressive. The founders of the United States weren't the norm either. Most groups who try to organize and break away from their countries are crushed, and most of their members are killed or imprisoned. The United States was a long lasting and exceptionally successful exception. The same could be said for Barry and Young and they really could have and probably SHOULD have started their own brand new political party focusing on urban issues. Bill Cosby is the best example of the powerlessness of a rich Black man. One should question how Dr.Cosby USED the money he had at his disposal.

I'm not sure about music, however what you say is 100% applicable to athletes. Drugs and alcohol do NOT make them play better and it has ruined the careers of so many.

The fact that so many....not just one or two but for over 20 years I've been having conversations with White men here and there who've done this....are just "in sync" with eachother and don't need a leader or a religion to tell them to do this, is....I'm not sure of the words to describe it. You're right, it's something we should be teaching our children but most Black people are busy working and making a living and if they have free time....naturally they want to enjoy themselves and have fun. I guess most White people in America have so much disposable income and time that they CAN devote it to having "outings" and camps like this where they can train their children in weaponry and survivalism. However the fact that so many WANT to do this and do it religiously around the country is very interesting as to the mindset that so many NATURALLY have.

I'm not sure what cause Autism but clearly SOMETHING is causing it. Diseases doesn't just pop up out of "thin air" either....lol. I'm sure a group of people know BOTH the cause of it and the cure or atleast it's prevention. I got into a heated debate with a sista not too long ago who JUMPED into a conversation I was having with another sista and insisted that autism came from "old fathers" making babies past their prime.

ProfD Still, there's no universal standards when it comes to beauty or ugly. Which is good news, if you grew up being considered ugly....lol. One could only imagine living in a nation like Japan or North Korea where everyone is expected to act and look the same and any difference gets you pegged as an outsider. No marriage. No friends. Probably no job. Probably even executed if not aborted if you came out ugly or different in a nation like North Korea. Uniformity is highly valued in those societies like diversity is valued in ours. Having been among musicians for over half my life, I can confirm that none of that stuff really makes them more creative or better. So are you saying that you don't know of cases where music artists and writers didn't perform better or come up with better lyrics when they had a little drink or took a hit of something to "get straight"...lol????

Meanwhile, these rednecks have their little 5 and 6 year old kids out in the woods teaching them how to hold and break down rifles and even hunt and skin animals. I'm not sure what to make of this. How their brains work. Part of me says we should be teaching our children the same, but another part of me thinks that there is something extra-terrestrial or even demonic about being so organized and methodical as to teach your children how to handle weapons and them being able to learn with a smile on their faces. Something isn't normal about it, in my opinion.

ProfD A panel of women would be required to make that judgement. Some men are so ugly you don't need a woman to make that call....lol. Do you need a panel of women to decide on whether or not THIS dude is attractive? Way before social media, I believe Hip-Hop redefined standards of attractiveness. Normal people i.e. non-models were able to get into the game. Facts. Whether it was rappers who praised the wide hips and big butts of the women in their community improving their self esteem OR rappers who through their sheer confidence and charisma made women piss on themselves chasing them down and offering them sex....give Black American men from the 'hood credit for boosting the image of our people and raising our collective self esteem! It's funny to see men from outside of the United States who are sincerely surprised and amazed at how so many Black men attract women and how that amazement often turns to jealousy and anger. They've been raised to believe that White men....especially the types seen in Hollywood....are or should be the standard of what is thought of as handsome and what women should go for. So when they come to America and see all of these Black men of different colors with different facial features straight up MACKING on beautiful women of all races, shades, and ages....they don't understand it and can't take it. Next time you see a Black man walking around with a White woman....if there's a Latino man around, look at his facial expression and how jealous and annoyed he probably gets, lol. Yep. From Kelly Price to Craig Mack...talented people were given a shot. Now wait a minute..... Kelly Price is my girl....lol. She's pretty AND sexy. Her weight tends to fluxuate but even when she's fat she's sexy. I know plenty of them who zone out into another dimension all right...weed and drugs and alcohol But that's a common way TO do it. Drugs and alcohol has been a very common way for artists to tap into other Realms and get inspiration. While some call it hallucinating, others see it as tapping into their creative space and getting ideas they normally wouldn't get sober.

No matter the land or language or religion, there seems to be a common regret among most people who live to be of an advanced age....... They wish they hadn't let fear stop them from doing certain things.

They are clearly going to TRY to use this incident to usher in some sort of Draconian state on America that they've been planning for a long time. We're simply going to have to wait and see what their plans are.

The fact that so many "innocent" people are killed and wounded as well as so many people who were intended to be killed were merely wounded is evidence of not just the inaccuracy of the suspects but the inaccuracy of their weapons. Shows like the Wire and social media itself produce plenty of video of gat jamming on people in the middle of the action. Granted a lot of this comes from not properly taking care of their weapons and not knowing how to properly use them, but a lot of it comes from shoddy manufacturing to begin with.
