Even when you're spending time with your family......you're thinking about me and scrolling down awaiting my responses. Talk about obsession.

Hey AALBC Family....I got a question for yall........ What's wrong with aka Contradiction? She's been acting up all morning. Is she INTENTIONALLY trying to ruin our peaceful beautiful Easter Sunday on here? Or is it that she just doesn't know any better?

aka Contradiction Is THIS how you like to spend your Sundays, especially Easter Sunday? Not with your family..... Not weaving an Easter basket.... Not painting eggs with your grandkids.... But on the internet.....fishing for some sort of online romance with a man who is obviously out of your league? "I got that jive sucka'z attention!"

I have Puppet-Master like control over YOU....for one, lol.

As long as the United States has the most powerful military on the planet, we can print a near endless amount of money and spend the nation into a near endless amount of debt. Taking the nation off the gold standards was one of the smartest financial moves this country could have made anyway because they're not enough gold in the world to back the true wealth of the United States. At it's current value, all of the known gold of every nation and it's people combined.....probably wouldn't equal the value of America's wealth.

Regardless as to who has the moral advantage in this conflict, it appears that the U.S. is doing way more damage to Iran and it's infrastructure than Iran is doing to the U.S. It gets to the point to where they get credit for just surviving, and hanging in the fight.

ProfD I think SEEING success and DEMANDING success also play huge roles. One of the reasons AfroAmericans are among the wealthiest Black people or people of color period on this planet is directly related to our proximity to White Americans. Seeing and working around them and seeing their wealth and success motivated us to achieve the same and DEMAND opportunities to do so. Other groups around the planet saw this from a distance....on television and in movies....and decided if we could do it, so could they.

ProfD So you believe TENACITY is the ultimate key to success? Just put in a lot of effort and dogged persistence? The is evidence to support this view.

Well, honey...you don't have much of a choice. You CAN'T sound like me...lol. You don't have that capacity. A smart person can play dumb, but a dumb person can't even PRETEND to be smart. ...any more than a broke nigga can buy a Lamborghini and mansion and "pretend" to be rich...lol.

ProfD Human beings are the same creature they've been for thousands of years. I believe this is true to a certain extent. Being as such..... If they demand higher standards (more education, more pristine background, more energy, better body, etc.) from those same human beings, wouldn't that simply end up locking more people out of social success? If human beings aren't becoming smarter or more intelligent as a whole, why demand more education out of them? Making it in a society is all about knowing how to play the *games* that people create to control the masses. The biggest *problem* most people have is being too lazy to play the game &/or waiting for someone else to make it easier. Kinda similar to the school kid or either copied other's work &/or cheated. Too lazy to put in their own work. Many adults never grown out of being lazy either mentally or physically. I wonder how much of it is laziness vs how much of it is simply not having the intelligence or mental energy to navigate such obstacles? To overcome mental laziness, that means a person must put in much more mental energy. However a naturally smart and quick-witted person wouldn't have to put in as much energy to do the same amount of thinking and planning. Think of school. We all knew some super smart kids who aced every test and didn't have to spend time studying. Where as the average kid would have to spend hours thumbing through the text books trying to learn enough to pass the test. The USA wil have to come up with a Universal Basic Income (UBI) to provide a stipend for people to survive meeting their basic needs. Perhaps they should considered Universal Healthcare FIRST before a Universal Basic income. No use in getting a guaranteed $2000 a month if your healthcare costs exceed $5000 a month and insurance only pays a fraction of it. it's really just a matter of knowing how to play the game which includes being able to pivot if/when necessary. But again, that's a matter of intelligence isn't it? Ofcourse smart people will know how to play the game or figure it out. That's one of the benefits OF being smart. You learn and you learn quickly. But what about those in the normal intelligence range? Do they get left out of the equation if they are too busy working and to trying to keep up in a fast paced constantly changing society, to sit around figuring out how to play some game?

Right. They're not really that stupid, they're just PRETENDING to be..... Like the old folks used to say and Judge Joe Brown made it a household term, "Even if you ain't got no sense, ACT like you got some"....lol. ...but in reverse.

frankster We have Black African Arabs and Berbers...they not allowed Lead? Maybe. While we DO have Arabs and Berbers who are racially Black, most of them don't identify as Black or with Black people. Their ethnic identities tend to come first. Kind of like Black Republicans who's religion or party loyalty comes first before any sort of racial solidarity.

My "tribe"....lol. You're starting to sound like my brutha richardmurray now. Being easily influenced is a symptom of a weak mind.

I wonder how will this latest firing sit with WOMEN in the Republican party and Trump's female voter base? 2 high profile women.....Kristi Noem and now Pam Bondi....being kicked out of his administration and replaced by men. BTW.....does THIS look like a 60 year old woman to you?

Remember back in the 80s and 90s when the big lie was that America was "broke". Most people bought that garbage. Anytime politicians didn't want to fund a program for their own personal reasons, they'd claim America was broke...in debt...and couldn't afford it. Thanks to George W. Bush and the TRILLIONS the nation ended up spending on Iraq and Afghanistan, they could no longer use THAT lie as an excuse. The American people saw that the nation has trillions of dollars at it's disposal and could easily print up more when needed. So now they had to come up with a NEW excuse for not spending money on projects they didn't want to. Now they use "government shut downs" as an excuse and while they admit the government DOES have the money, they say it just hasn't been properly "appropriated" yet. They bound it up in a ton of red tape and make it extra complicated to get to.
