What do you believe about the origins of HIV/AIDS?

I don't understand, why don't the brutha just RETIRE and enjoy his wealth? Didn't he learn anything from Michael Jordan or Mike Tyson? When you're on top....QUIT THE GAME and stay out of it with your image untarnished. Somebody should have had a talk with Serena Williams before she got her half-a-hundred year old ass out on that court trying to swing with the kids....lol.

Hard to believe this was nearly 40 years ago.

frankster Theirs as you all fears are misplaced. So where....in your opinion...SHOULD those fears be placed? Whose fault is that? For the most part, nobody's. Many if not most people simply don't have the intelligence to properly and efficiently use most of the technology at their disposal to improve their lives. What's wrong with that? Some would say it DISRUPTS nature and the natural order of things. Nature made it so that most of the work in society would be carried out by men strong enough to do it...whether it's hunting, gathering, building, or protecting. Under natural circumstances, THOSE type of men would be the most successful....the most likely to find mates...and the most likely to reproduce passing along those strong genes and making more strong people. Technology disrupts this by allowing weak men to produce, build, and protect; thus attracting mates and reproducing which will likely pass along their weak genetics. Who won that contest in the end? Our brother Johnny. And guess what his prize was for beating the machine........... Possession of What? Possession of one's mind and body. that depends on the individual....not the tech. It depends on the tech if certain technology is being used as a CONDUIT for Entities to possess people.

Protection is a given..... But if you even SERIOUSLY SUGGEST to a woman that she should go by the urgent care clinic to get tested for any STDs before intimacy.....you ain't gotta worry about EVER catching anything from her, lol. The way she'll do you, you won't be able to even catch a COLD from her....lol.

I think marriages WOULD be more successful if the vows couples took with eachother were actually backed up by a notarized legal contract. You agree to provide me with a house and pay all of my bills? Put it in writing and get it notarized. You agree to have sex with me atleast 3 nights a week, stay in shape, and keep those titties firm? Let's put it in writing and get it recognized by the court. Breeches of the contract will be penalized.

I guess so...... With names like that, they had to LEARN how to fight.....lol.

ProfD If Black folks throughout the planet were to unite, we could be a force. LOL....true, so why don't we? For a number of reasons, that's not going to happen in this lifetime. Don't hold back bro, GET INTO the reasons why....lol. I know one major reason....but you'll probably leave THAT one out. frankster Thank you You're quite welcome. Their wanting to or domination of black people is a symptom.....not a causative True. One of the causes is their inherent feeling of physical and emotional inferiority. Another cause is their inherent feeling of mental superiority. They have been trying to dominate each other long before they tried to or did dominate Black peoples In sports, we call that SCRIMAGING...lol. Just practicing on eachother before getting down to the real business of world domination. They are not different.....people are basically the same - be they white black or yellow Why is this so.....because we are all human Humans are CLEARLY different. If this isn't so, then show me where Africans have RECENTLY colonized Europe or have economic control over it. Show me where Africans or Chinese have enslaved Whites and bred them like animals for hundreds of years. If humans are all the same, then whatever one race has done to another.....you should see evidence of them reversing roles from time to time. But nowhere in their political ideology does it support any form of Racism....if anything the opposite is and has always been true. Because it's a given. It's so clearly and universally (in Russia) understood that there is no need to waste time and paper with statements on it. You don't see anywhere in the U.S. Constitution where polygamy or gay marriage is permitted either. Because those practices were so far beyond the norms of those who established this nation that they didn't feel the need to waste time stating the obvious: these things aren't permitted. Thanks for the Malcolm X clip. I love listening to the brother. He can drop so much science in such a clear and concise way in such a short period of time. Malcolm will drop more common sense truth in 5 minutes than so many of the modern "leaders" will say all year. You can actually feel your mind clearing up. And when you are called upon to do your duty to God and Country to crush kill and destroy a fledgling freedom struggle in a poor African country.....what then @Pioneer1 ? What would "I" do personally? I know exactly what I'd do, but I wouldn't say it publicly...lol.

Everything you said sounds familiar and sounds about right, but you left 2 things out: 1. Her crazy ass ex's....lol. Some of whom are locked up, and others who are out -and stalking her. 2. Her crazy ass adult kids, especially her violent criminal minded son who still lives with her off and on at 33....lol. Women like that are alluring, but they tend to have a high body count.

When I said the Frank Lucas route, I wasn't implying that promising students should look to drug dealer money to go to school....lol. I meant that like Frank Lucas didn't rely on getting his drugs from the Mafia but instead when directly to the source in Vietnam (or Cambodia???) to get his heroin, people in general who want to grant money to worthy Black students to send them to college should consider giving them the money directly instead of to some program that siphons it off and imposes a bunch of stipulations.

frankster Technology is usually feared when first it presents itself Depending on WHO is presenting it....ofcourse. The Native Americans who only knew bows and arrows or poison darts had a right to "fear" the new technology of long arms and cannons used against them by White invaders. Did industrialization help or hinder us? It helped some and hindered others. If you were a man who was naturally strong and self sufficient, industrialization "leveled" the playing field by making life easier for men who were weaker and more fragile than you and allowing them to be just as productive if not more productive using the technology. The legend of John Henry and his sledge hammer vs a steam drill, comes to mind. Much of the technology that comes out of the West is designed to help White men do what most Black men can do naturally. AI is about to empower the individual way beyond what y'all thinking.... POSSESSION is also a form of "empowerment". But often times the malevolent kind.

What a dog and pony show........lol.

No sir....lol. At 19, I wanted an EASY FREAK. She was "right" for me based on what I wanted at the time. I don't want a woman like that today because I know what kind of problems they bring.

ProfD But "Vivian"???? Come on bro..... How can you say you love your son when you named him "Vivian"? What next? Dress him up in a pink dress and knee-high stockings and push him off to elementary school with a big ass lollypop in his hand? Some things just defy common sense.

Or go the more direct "Frank Lucas" route....lol. Find promising Black students in highschool who's dream is to go to college but are having financial hardships, and grant THEM the money directly. Not all at once for them to waste it or get robbed of it; but piece-meal as they go through their courses.

richardmurray Absent this elevated welfare, what do you propose for people to do to pay for rent/food.healthcare? Petition their respective governments to provide these basic necessities for it's citizens in a limited and strategic way so that nobody goes without them and this will provide a decent "competition" with private sources to discourage them from raising the prices too high. Take healthcare for example..... The reason health insurance is so high is because there is almost no competition from the government offering a cheaper alternative. That's what the "public option" was supposed to offer, but your boy Obama cut that out of his Obamacare deal. Are you suggesting fiscal poor people kill themselves? Absolutely not. If their situation is so dire that they feel like dying, they should consider a revolution before doing that....lol. nothing black people went through in the usa was harder than legal enslavement on the mind + body+ spirit and yet they as humans foun ways to survive, not thrive, but survive such that they didn't kill themselves. A couple points: 1. Many of them DID kill themselves. Not only jumping off of ships during the Middle Passage, but even during their enslavement they found ways to kill themselves. It wasn't very common, but it occurred. 2. It's commonly said that our people "survived". For the most part...yes. But millions DID NOT survive....they succumbed. So what is the answer? The answer is for AfroAmericans to carve out a piece of America to focus our political and economic power on and try to control as much of our collective destiny as we can instead of relying on the ideas and schemes of Whites to save us. We should try to get as much political and legal power as we can. That way if UBI becomes a reality here in the United States, we can atleast control: ....how much of it we get. ....what terms and conditions must be met for individuals to get it.

frankster I stand corrected on Germany's history of colonizing Africa. I'm not educated enough on the history of China and Russia to argue your points one way or another. I can say that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said, "The devil is the devil Regardless as to place or time" Meaning it doesn't matter what region or nation White folks come from. What language they speak. What religion they practice. Whether they grew up ruling or being oppressed themselves. What they did in the past or what year it is today. ....their general mentality is to conquer and dominate people of color, including Black people. Why you or anyone else believes that Russians would be any different is beyond me....lol. Go to any major city in Russia and you'll see neo-nazis and skinheads kicking it in the parks and other common areas and many of them will harass minorities. Are we to believe the government doesn't reflect the general attitude of it's citizens? Well Pioneer, is America and Israel any better? I would say YES. Not much better, but still a LITTLE better because atleast Black people are in positions of power and authority in both the United States and Israel. We aren't RUNNING the United States or Israel....lol. But we are in positions of power in both nations from law enforcement, to the military, all the way up to the government. So we do have SOME say so in how the government treats not only it's own citizens but how it conducts business abroad. Ain't NO Black folks in any position of power or authority in Russia OR China...lol.

Mel Perhaps you read too much into that response, because your first assessment was closer to the mark. It's not so much that I believe Africans and Black Americans are stupid. Stupidity literally means below average intelligence. It's a defect, or disability. Something that can't be applied to an entire race. However despite there being some genius Black people and dumb ass White people, I do believe that COLLECTIVELY and HISTORICALLY Caucasian people have shown themselves to be smarter. Outside of a Divine cause..... For every reason/excuse people can come up with as to why Black people ended up being conquered by Whites and still remain in a subservient position, I can tie it back to not being smart enough to overcome their oppressor. At my age, I've become tired of making excuses for the condition of Black people. As they say on the streets: It is...what it is. ProfD What you're describing sounds more like what I call a CIVIL UNION, than a marriage. Civil Unions focus more on logistics and mutual agreement based on transactional arrangements. Marriages focus more on love, sex, and usually some sort of religious/cultural foundation.

And the definition of "right" often changes depending on time and place, lol. What was "right" for me at 19 isn't "right" for me at 55.

My bad. That was suppose to be his name up there instead of yours. Maybe it was a subconscious move to pull you into the conversation....lol.

frankster Russia was not among them...was they? They belong to the same criminal family. The only reasons Russia wasn't out colonizing nations of color like her British, French, and Spanish brethren is because: 1. Their nation was more landlocked and didn't have as much access to the Atlantic Ocean. 2. Being Slavic....they also faced oppression from their Teutonic fellow Caucasians. Also an argument can be made that Russia wasn't colonized by Africans like France and Spain were at one time, so they didn't develop the hatred and disdain and strong desire to conquer them. They were never directly involved in the Slave trade Colonialism Neo-colonialism Imperialism the Enslaved of Black Africans nor did they openly support racism or practice politically as Policy Neither was Germany, yet they are some of the most unapologetically racist devils on the planet. They are not only anti-Black, they are anti OTHER White folks who they feel aren't "white" enough....lol. This cannot be said of Russia since the Communist Revolution. How do we know that Russia and other Whites are NOT working together to oppress people of color? What nation of color have they defended against White aggression? True So did China.....look where they are now China is a military superpower because of THEMSELVES, not any dealings with Russia. They don't rely on Russia or any other nation for military support. They may make deals with Russia. The United States makes DEALS with Russia....lol. But they don't rely on Russia to help them or bolster their military. They know better. At what cost?? The cost of one's pride. All of the propaganda about America and Israel being the biggest enemies on the planet and are so oppressive and racist; meanwhile Russia and the Arab nations have SHOWN themselves to not only racist towards Black people but also disloyal to them and to eachother. They won't even help out eachother. Look how most of them are siding with America against Iran. The West has an unwritten policy not to share technology with African Countries.......they see African Countries as a Resource of Raw Material True. Is Russia sharing USEFUL technology with African nations? I'm not talking about teaching them a few bogus tricks and sending them some worthless gadgets designed to fail when you need them most. I mean true advanced technology that they could actually use to protect themselves against Western aggression? As such any form of Development is seen as a threat to this View......Hence the West tend to Impoverish and Underdeveloped African countries back to Stone Age Funny how this policy hasn't worked to under develop Japan, or South Korea who are also people of color. Dubai, Qatar, and Kuwait also have aligned themselves with the West and are building major cities and have advanced weaponry. Seems to me that those who align themselves with the United States seem to do better than those who align themselves with Russia.

Well shame on their mothers for giving them those names. Talk about inconsiderate. Why on Earth would a loving mother give a child a name common to the OPPOSITE sex? Does she not care how that child will grow up or the ridicule they'll face as a result?

frankster Yes it does seems so Let me let Nelson answer that..... True I think Mr. Mandela was a wise man and right. However just like YOUR enemy isn't necessarily MY enemy, the enemy of YOUR enemy isn't necessarily MY friend or ally either. At one time the United States, England, and France were all enemies....but they all got together to gang up on Haiti. To align himself and his nation with Russia in my opinion would be a mistake for 2 reasons: 1. Russia is still a White nation...like France. Infact, it's Whiter than France with a very tiny Black population. So what makes him think that the Russians or the Russian government are any less racist? History has shown that Whites....despite any of their own differences....tend to work together against people of color. 2. Both Cuba and Iran as well as Syria aligned themselves with Russia for military purposes, and look where THEY are right now. If I were an African nation, I'd do my best to align myself with the United States OR Israel. Not that these nations are the most righteous....but because they have proven to be the more powerful and most loyal when it comes to needing a military alliance.

For the woman named "Quincy", perhaps if you had an opportunity to check her Identification -would you discover that "Quincy" was actually a name she went by that was short for something else? I also wonder how did she spell it. Did she spell it "Quincy" or "Quincie" like women who call themselves "Bobby" spell it as "Bobbie" to denote the feminine aspect? As for the brutha named "Vivian"......lol.....are you sure he's ALWAY been a "brutha"????

Well, whatever went down between the races in the distant past....I don't think it justifies or logically explains why Caucasians continue to be in a dominant position over Africans and Native Americans (including Latinos) today. In other words.......... No matter what Africans OR Native Americans may have done to Caucasians initially, does it justify them being "allowed" to enslave and decimate the African and Native American populations and rule over them for nearly a thousand years? Mythology and allegories aside......... I think a more accurate and viable assessment is that Caucasians were simply smart enough to gain the upper hand and keep the upper hand.....so far.
