ProfD you're not going to believe this and I probably shouldn't type it but here's a secret...Black folks do not enjoy killing as much as white folks do. Lol....brutha, there are Black folks who RAP AND SING about killing other Black folks! Gangsta Rap music has been among the best sellers of music for the past 30 years or so! That tells me that there ARE Black folks who seem to get a great deal of joy from killing or FANTASIZING about killing other Black folk, lol. White folks love to kill sh8t. That's why they stockpile wespons and hunt for sport. They stay in killing shape in the event Black folks ever rise up. They love killing BLACK and BROWN FOLK. Not necessarily each other. Because so many Black folks love killing EACHOTHER instead of them...does that make them somehow better? Or dumber? That's why regardless of where Black folks live on the planet, unafraid white folks can roll through and take their sh8t. Fear is powerful So is stupidity. Never underestimate how ridiculous a fool's behavior can get....lol. Sani Nassif That actually is 100% what Ye was trying to do here I don't think even KANYE knows what Kanye was trying to do...lol I think he's just trying to stay relevant and says a lot of outlandish, provocative, and ridiculous things for attention. Also @Pioneer1 no way, what "white folks" have done for 500 years is in NO WAY intelligent that is just so insulting, and I know you don't mean that but really(you prob mean there are just many different weapons, but making weapons to attack and hurt is not "smart," Making sophisticated high-tech weapons to defeat your enemy and defend yourself from attacks IS a sign of intelligence. No doubt about it. ACTUALLY African culture is much smarter/collective wisdom of THOUSANDS of years because it is focused on Love, Is it smart to focus strictly on love and harmony when you are under siege and your land is being invaded and your people are being systematically slaughtered and enslaved? I think it's foolish. There's a time for everything. There's a time for parties and festivals and ritualistic ceremonies...but not when woman and children are being attacked in the next village over. killing/murder/enslavement is in NO WAY intelligent. First off when you hurt someone else, that first hurts you, because you trap yourself in a box, Interesting philosophy. I wish more world leaders would think like that...but they don't. The nations who are ruling the planet today are the ones with the most high-tech weapons to defend themselves and their allies. The Defense Department of the United States employs some of the most intelligent and educated scientists and engineers of this nation. Apparently THEY feel that war and domination is the answer to power. Are you smarter and more intelligent than THEM??? it's EXACTLY as Nelson Mandela stated, he said he felt bad for the "white folks" in South Africa, And I thought that was silly of him. They beat him up, mistreat him, and throw him in prison under and unjust system...and he feels sorry for THEM??? The "love your enemy and pray for them" philosophy is what a lot of Black people were taught under Christianity and these other made-up religions that Caucasians invented to brainwash the darker races they wanted to exploit.

This is one of the reasons the Honorable Elijah Muhammad for decades told us to DO FOR SELF. If AfroAmericans would establish and build our own businesses instead of constantly looking for appreciation and commendation from White owns or operated establishments...we'd be much farther ahead. And would probably get along in society much better. We'd be so busy building and making progress, we wouldn't have time to sit up arguing with White folks over how they treat us. Another twist to the story...................... Now some of the workers are looking at me with a side eye and asking me why I didn't "step in" and do something about him being terminated!!!! "What's up with all the pro-Black talk but when ------- got fired yall didn't say shit???" "Yall let him get termed like that? I thought yall wuz 'posed to be looking out for niggaz....." This is why you've heard me repeatedly question the intelligence of many of our people....lol. A couple of the same Black folks who were complaining about him and calling him a "snitch" and "Sambo" because of his position.....NOW want to know why me and my group didn't come to his defense and keep him his job (as if we really could anyway).

Sani Nassif But I wonder what are your thoughts? Do you think the only forum for change can be in person? That online there is no hope? The problem with trying to solve social and societal problems online is that it's too IMPERSONAL. You don't get the full spirit and emotion of the person you're communicating with over the internet or by texting. In real life you can hear the tone of their voice, see their expression, feel their spirit...and it gives you a better judgment of their sincerity and seriousness. 2 things that are crucial when trying to solve problems as delicate as these. can I also ask what would motivate you to sign or share these petitions, because it seems nothing that comes from me is helping lol, I have tried alot on facebook, and only my Dad, and his girlfriend singed these petitions, but no one seems to care about them, are they too long, or do you think many find signing or trying not even relevant? I haven't signed or shared any petitions. These changes have to come from the federal level and I'm not sure if petitions will be enough to make that happen.

I'm sure you'll enjoy this Professor Black Truth clip @Chevdove This is nothing new. Latinos have been expressing their hatred and racism toward AfroAmericans for DECADES in California. Maybe this will be the final wake-up call needed for Black people to pack up, get out of that racist ass state, and let it drop in the ocean. Just make sure we learn our lesson from this so we don't let them even TRY to do it to us anywhere else in the United States.

ProfD But, I did find it odd that the king had a gay man servant. African men don't play that sh8t. I didn't. I didn't find it any more odd than them making the Black Lightning's daughter a lesbian. In the latest movie "NOPE" they've made the main character's sister a lesbian. They've been inserting the LGBTQIA+ agenda into most Black televison shows and movies for the past 15 years or so and Black folks have been going along with it and many even justifying it. His role didn't serve a purpose. Oh it did.....lol...trust me. I know you'd be insulted if I didn't tell you that I know you already KNOW this and don't really have to be told...lol. Troy maybe they were just ticking off another demographic-we-gotta-appeal to box Who was the "we" that had to appeal to that demographic? And who TOLD them they had to appeal to it? It's hard to believe there's no conspiracy to influence people when you yourself suggest ONE group has force ANOTHER group to adjust their art and expression to appeal to certain demographics. if you ever actually watch the movie, it would be interesting to see if you are willing soften your harsh critique. I might....lol....which is one of the reasons I REFUSE to watch it. I don't want it to change me or influence me. That's why they are called "Hollywood". Because they have a MAGICAL way of influencing people and changing their beliefs through sight and sound. Why would I PURPOSELY subject myself to conditioning and propaganda?

All of America clearly doesn't know..... The question is, does "all of America" even CARE???? Most people don't care about the UNJUST system of "Justice" until they have a personal experience with it or a loved one is involved. Then all of a sudden they start paying attention to the double standards, ambiguous legal language, outrageous penalties, etc.... We need an entire Constitutional overhaul of the legal system in every part of the United States where every single law is examined and then VOTED ON by all of the adults in that district because too many games are being played with the legal system in the United States.

ProfD White South Africans did not outsmart the Black majority. White folks were happy to coexist among the Black folks in South Africa. White folks are happy to coexist anywhere with people of color, as long as THEY are on top and running the show...lol. If they aren't.... -whether they're on the bottom or sharing everything equally ...they don't like it one bit. But they'll TOLERATE it until they have their opportunity to supplant the superior position. When white folks from outside South Africa visited and saw that Black folks were in charge and had whites working for them, they felt it was wrong. A delegation came through and convinced White South Africans to subscribe to the belief that they belong to a master race as theorized by cats like Arthur de Gobineau and Alfred Rosenberg. That set in motion what eventually became Apartheid. Ok. And you're telling me that the Black folks who were in South Africa just sat back and LET them do it? Just LET the White minority supplant them and occupy the seat of rulership? That doesn't sound very smart to me. No matter what the Whites from the outside or even the Whites IN South Africa thought or how they felt...the Zulu and Shona and other peoples should have protected their land and kept it from being confiscated and dominated by a foreign people. Of course, it was easy enough for white South Africans to receive military backing from other white countries. That's what gave white South Africans the power to rule. It was not their intelligence. Ok, now we're getting to the nitty gritty. And why didn't the other BLACK AFRICAN nations help their fellow Black Africans in South Africa militarily like the Whites did? This is where INTELLIGENCE becomes more of a factor. Why were the Whites intelligent enough to know how to help THEIR own but most of the other Blacks...who are the clear majority on that continent..didn't have enough sense to do the same? White folks have no problem with taking over by force and using violence when diplomacy fails. Most Black folks don't either. Some of these Negroes will use violence BEFORE diplomacy. They just don't have the weaponry that Whites have to do as much damage....but they use what they DO have. H8ll, for a long time now, the British, French and Dutch have been running black nations with only a handful of white folks actually living there I know...lol. That's why I keep saying it boils down to INTELLIGENCE and White folks simply outsmarting Black folks for the past 500 years or so. When the same shit keeps happening over and over around the world involving the same peoples.... At this point, I have to look at it for what it is.

I totally agree with this. I've been telling people for years that slavery hasn't been "abolished" in the United States, just transformed. Thanks for the insightful commentary!

It's interesting how memories work and how remembering one thing leads to another. I was watching Harlem Nights and saw my man Robin Harris and started missing his short-lived comedy. So then I had to stop watching Harlem Nights and started watching old clips of Robin Harris' routines...lol. "Nigga came up to me the other day talking 'bout 'Bruh man, bruh, man....I need some money. I got a wife and three kids at home starving!!!' I said, well if they at home then you need to go home and BE WITH THEM...shit" LMBAO!!!!! RIP&P bro!!!

I love turkey. My Father didn't care too much for it though when our family ate it. He said it looked too much like a buzzard....lol. Actually, turkeys ARE out of the buzzard/vulture family. If you ever see a wild one, it's bald and looks just like any other buzzard. It simply doesn't look like something that should be eaten. My only issue with The Turkey Leg Hut is the same as I have with Roscoe's Chicken-n-Waffles...... It's not enough of them. They should go NATION WIDE. The problem with a lot of soul food restaurants is that they don't want to expand and make soul food global like other groups. Italians, Chinese, Mexicans....their food is global now. Thanks to the United States actually..... And now children of all races enjoy tacos and pizza and egg rolls when 100 years ago they probably wouldn't put their noses near it. We need to do the same thing with AfroAmerican cuisine and make it a global phenomenon.

ProfD And I do! I do feel sorry for the brother to a certain extent even though I warned him OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER again for months! Why do I often feel more sorry for these niggas than they feel for me????? He would talk to me and we would converse....but I could tell he didn't take much of what I said seriously. That nigga used to call me JANGO with the conspiracy theories!!!! When a higher position higher than his opened up I told him he should immediately go for it because: a) There were no Black people hire than Supervisor and he would break the glass ceiling if he got into upper management! b) Since so many people were already coming for him to destroy him, a higher position would offer more protection I WARNED the brother that if he DIDN'T didn't seek that position and another White person gets it, that next White person may end up being a racist who fires him! He laughed it off and said HE was "turning the company around" and they wouldn't fire him. He said he didn't want the position because it was way too much responsibilities and would force him to work too much away from his family. Guess what??? When they filled the position it was filled by a White woman who got on HIS ass from the moment she walked through the door! Even told him to SHUT UP infront the men he was supervising! Had him coming in at all kinds of odd hours and even on Sundays! Had the nigga stressed out and angry and he started taking it out on the Black workers under him which led to MORE conflicts. I warned him about that too. I said instead of putting more pressure on your Black workers...use us as your BACKUP so we can unite and put pressure on THEM!!! He's just look at me with his hands in his pockets and march off rolling his eyes as if I was talking jibberish. Despite him turning the department around increasing production and numbers and doing 137% better than the previous White supervisor did....they STILL rode him and eventually got rid of him. I saw it.....I saw it all....I saw it ((shakes head)) And before HIM there was a Black woman in a similar position I tried to sit down and talk into getting into upper management and SHE didn't want to listen. She didnt' get fired but they ran her away. BROTHER....I love being right. I love having the gift of discernment and accurate prediction However sometimes when you see it coming and there isnt' too much you can do about it but watch it unfold.....man. Do you understand what I'm saying Professor??? You SEE IT....you see how it is beginning and you almost KNOW exactly how it will end and see it all unfold before your eyes. But besides giving warnings and pleading for people to change their course and do "this" instead of doing "that"...there's little else you can do about it besides stand back and watch it happen! What a feeling..... I'm so glad and thankful The SUPREME BEING Graced me to have been influenced by The Nation of Islam and the teachings of Neely Fuller Jr. If I hadn't been schooled into understanding Racism and how it REALLY works.....I don't know what I would do. Neely Fuller Jr. said: IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHITE SUPREMACY AND HOW IT WORKS....EVERYTHING ELSE THAT YOU DO UNDERSTAND WILL ONLY CONFUSE YOU!

richardmurray The biggest factor on whether or not a minority can rule over a majority isn't money or political leanings....it's INTELLIGENCE. Is that minority collectively SMARTER than the majority they want to rule over? If the answer is YES...then they will be successful. It seems to me that the Whites in South Africa were successful in ruling the Black majority so thoroughly and for so long was simply because for what ever reason....they outsmarted them. And they're STILL continuing to do it even though officially they aren't "ruling" anymore....but still disproportionally control the money and influence the politics. Maybe some of the ignorant rednecks want this nation to become all White but the wise White rulers of the United States won't allow this nation to become all White like Germany for the very reasons you touched on. Because this form of Capitalism needs an oppressed class, victims to exploit. If they got rid of the Blacks and Browns and left only Whites in this nation....then WHITE PEOPLE would be the ones being abused and exploited primarily and all of the stereotypes and mass incarcerations, ect....would fall on them. They don't want that....so they keep people of color around as punching bags.

richardmurray That's a worthy goal. However both the intellect and desire for high-brow content has to increase in Black people. Too many of our people have an appetite for garbage, juvenile and ridiculous entertainment instead of intelligent discussion.

Just like the U.S. controls the so-called "United Nations", headquartered in New York....lol. If the U.N. didn't vote in favor of our policies we'd kick them out of the building and bar half of them from even setting FOOT in this country for meetings..lol

Friday a young Black man who was supervisor at my job was fired. The big wigs from corporate came down to pull him in the office and let him go. I tried to warn him. I had been warning him for MONTHS that many of his fellow White co-workers (as well as many of the Black ones) had it in for him. I said RACISM was the primary reason. Being of this latter generation who have been taught to blame EVERYTHING EXCEPT racism, he didn't want to hear it or believe it. I told him it doesn't matter how great his performance is or how well he did his job....racists don't care about that! Infact, the BETTER job you do the MORE the racists will HATE YOU!!!! Because you're eliminating the excuses they want to use to complain about or fire you. I said he should get closer to the Black workers and organize with the couple of other Black supervisors to make a fuss about racism and the need for diversity at the company! He told me he wouldn't talk about race with them because on the few occasions he'd bring it up with the other White managers.....they'd get uncomfortable. I said: NIGGA THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT.....FOR THEM TO GET UNCOMFORTABLE SO THEY WON'T FUCK WITH YOU!!!! He'd laugh at it and blew it off as just the rantings of some old nigga from the "old school" who didn't know what the game was all about today. He loved to talk about "It's not about Black or White but about GREEN and who came make the company the most money!" I had to shake my head at him. Racists don't give a damn about production or "green" or how much money you can make for them....hell they PRINT UP all the money they want. They don't need YOU to generate it for them! I tried to tell the young buck. I tried......for months I tried. They let him go and he walked past me with a box in his hand with a long sad face. Wouldn't even make eye contact with anybody. People were standing around looking with their mouths open in shock because most of THEM thought he'd never get fired either because he was so smart and his performance was so great. But I knew better. Performing well doesn't necessarily protect you from racism.....often times it makes you a TARGET of it for the reasons mentioned above. One of the best known defenses against racism is a great aggressive OFFENSE. You shove your foot so far up these devils' asses that you see your brown slimy shoe strings when they open their mouths! And you KEEP your foot up their ass! Don't take it out! I learned that from the late great Coleman Alexander Young who was Mayor of Detroit. He used to cuss White folks out on live television back in the 70s and ran them out of the city. ..and DIDN'T apologize for it! .....and did over 4 terms as mayor! ....and died at a ripe old age! ....and NEVER went to prison! To a Republican at a hearing before Congress in Washington D.C.: "Detroit is MY muthafuckin' city...not Reagan's Tell ole PRUNE FACE to mind his own goddamn business!"

Sani Nassif I will offer a little push back on a few of your comments... 1. Neanderthals did not come from Africa. They came from Europe or the Caucasus mountain region. What modern Western scientist and archeologists in particular are calling "Neanderthals" are actually degenerated Caucasians who lived such a savage life while they were trapped in the mountains that their bodies actually morphed to adapt to their environment. Evidence of this is that you can barely find any more of them today. Why not? Because they weren't a species but a mutation. 2. There is no evidence that "slave labor" was used to build the Pyramids or any other monument in ancient Egypt. The hieroglyphs clearly tell you HOW the pyramids were built...with Kemetic technology. Caucasian scholars just IGNORE this and come up with their own theories from space aliens to Hebrew slaves. The only places this assertion is found is in the Bible and books derived FROM the Bible who books that point to the Bible as it's source. We know that much of the Bible is FALSE. Not only historically incorrect but down right fabricated and can't be relied on for accuracy. Which leads me to my third point..... 3. The word "Eden" is most likely a corrupt form of the word "Aden" which is southern Yemen. The Garden of Eden/Aden was likely a cultivated spot in this region. Not some magical or mystical place floating around in the clouds that religious people would have us to believe. Most people who grew up in Christian and Muslim environments have been heavily indoctrinated by the stories that have been passed along from generation to generation from these Abrahamic religions. Yes we must live together as human beings....... But we can't live together based on lies and falsehood. Our peace and security has to be founded in TRUTH and JUSTICE in order for it to be long lasting.

Kanye isn't stupid, but he's clearly mentally unstable if not out right crazy. There are "mad" geniuses. Like Hitler. A person's intelligence and mental stability aren't necessarily on par with each other.

ProfD Not only do I agree with you that Trump isn't going to prison. I'm also questioning whether or not Russia's war with the Ukraine is a "serious" one. I know people are getting killed and property is being destroyed, but we know the Racists will do this for "fun". They'll blow up entire cities for fun.....just to rebuild and keep the economy going. I thought Putin may have been going rogue and going off script from the other racists to do his thing, but if things in Ukraine are going the way the media here are portraying them to be.....it appears that Putin is PURPOSELY destroying his own military by allowing a much weaker Ukraine to defeat and humiliate it.

I remember when the Pandemic first got started........not only were people driving around with masks on but gloves on too! I remember some sissy brother saw me in the Star Bucks parking lot and tried to hit on me!!!! An OLD nigga too! "Hello friend..." Me: "Hey, what's up man....do I know you?" "Not really, I've seen you around Starbucks from time to time but uh...... I usually go to Detroit or Chicago for my fun but since the Pandemic shit has been a little crazy. You know we gotta be safe. I was wondering, you seem like a pretty smart brother who got it together and got it GOING ON (( )) I was wondering if you want to go somewhere and have some FUN after you leave Starbucks later today?" Me: "Nah man....I'm good. Take care though" I didn't know the fool from Adam! Not sure what made him feel comfortable enough to go up to a grown man he didn't even know and proposition him like that.

I don't know much about OPEC , but who actually "controls" it? Is it controlled by the Arab nations or by Europe? And my other questions would be....... I heard Nigeria has more oil in that nation than half of ALL the Middle Eastern nations combined. Are THEY part of OPEC? And if not.....why don't they form their own oil conglomerate like OPEC and use that as leverage to get some money and recognition from the world?

I think you're right for the most part. The dominant White culture not only PROTECTS sell outs and agents in the community but actually GENERATES them in order to cause and maintain destablization and keep the AfroAmerican (and many African) communities in a state of chaos and turmoil.....thus weak and vulnerable. It's certainly part of African culture (and most other races for that matter) to either separate those who have a differing opinion from the majority in our community or in extreme cases persecute and kill them off because they don't fit in with the "norm". This is a good thing if those who differ in their outlook and behavior will DESTABLIZE the harmony and peace of the community. However much if not most of the time....especially when Caucasians aren't involved in these differences....it's simply Black people as individuals expressing themselves. And their expressions are being unfairly and unnecessarily suppressed. I think this is one of the DOWNFALLS of the historical African community. The social and religious intolerance that seems to go on among us. This is also one of the things that makes AMERICA such a great and prosperous nation. We aren't so hooked on culture and homogeneity that we want to force everyone to look, sound, and act alike....like many European, Asian, and even African societies do. We....today atleast....tend to celebrate and welcome diversity as a STRENGTH and ASSET. E Pluribus Unum = Out of Many One ....is the motto So before was as AfroAmericans "clean house" so to speak and get rid of the sell-outs and trouble makers who are just agents of the devil sent (or formed) to destabilize our community, we must first decide WHAT our values are and should be and then proceed from there.

Troy I'm glad you enjoyed your movie......Troy....

-is our brother @richardmurray...lol. I've been seeing your name on posts for YEARS but didn't know you were such a deep thinker when it came to race and politics until the past couple months. It seems you only posted in some of the other forums but almost never posted in the culture-race-economy forum (just like I rarely post on any other forum but this one) until recently. I'm glad we have an opportunity to interact more with our brother but I'm curious; what prompted you to "expand your horizons"....so to speak???

But Wonder Woman was full of sexual innuendos from her skimpy suit to the way she whips her hair around while fighting. No matter how dangerous and fantastic, they make sure to highlight the beauty and femininity of the White woman. When it comes to Black women....even in old Africa...they won't even show their breasts. Have them muscled up and sweaty with angry scowls on their faces. If a Black man ain't insulted by THAT....I'm not sure what it takes TO insult him. It used to be an insult to tell a boy "Your mom wears combat boots", because of what it implies. Many AfroAmerican men today would probably be PROUD of some an accusation.

I still maintain he hasn't been the same since his mother died. He really hasn't been the same since he was taken against his will to get some sort of shock treatment some years back. I think that did more damage to his mind.
