So why wasn't there a criminal investigation? Not sure if incest between two adults is a crime, but rape certainly is. Interesting how they have NO problem going after Black men like R.Kelly, Bill Cosby, and Puff Daddy.....over crimes that happened decades ago. But when it comes to White men's sexual offenses....they remain in the "rumor" realm until they are dead and gone. You gotta read a damn MEMOIRE put out by some obscure publishing company to find out what White men have done. The news won't tell you. Even in the interview, she's calling him her "favorite guy". How the hell can a damn dope addict who raped his own daughter get the "favorite guy" award????

I'll refrain from my criticism of The Color Purple out of respect for my Mother. It was one of her favorite movies.

Phillips Sisters Reveal Dad’s ‘Dark Side’ After Incest Claim Actress Mackenzie Phillips has opened up about her relationship with her father, the Mamas & the Papas frontman John Phillips, on her sister Chynna’s YouTube channel on Wednesday. Chynna Phillips, who is married to Billy Baldwin, called their father “one of my favorite individuals in the whole wide world,” but someone who had a “dark” side. “I loved his laugh. Yet there was this whole other side to dad that was kind of, like, monster,” Chynna said. “He had a very dark side,” Mackenzie said, with Chynna saying: “He was so dark, and you just didn’t know who you were going to get, right? It was very unpredictable.” Mackenzie claimed in her 2009 memoir, High on Arrival, that her father raped her on the night she married Jeff Sessler when she was 19. She says the sex with her dad became consensual for nearly 10 years as she battled a drug addiction. Phillips Sisters Reveal Dad’s ‘Dark Side’ After Incest Claim (thedailybeast.com) Interesting to me how some of these women both Black and White can come out IMMEDIATELY and make claims against famous Black men. No problem. No hesitation. But when it comes to making claims against White men who do things as heinous as this and even more....they either DON'T TALK ABOUT IT PERIOD....or wait until the man is dead and just a pile of smiling bones before they get on some talk show with a bunch of tissue in their hands crying and talking about how terrible it was. Don't say SHIT about it while the man is still alive and can be prosecuted though.....they make sure of that. That's why I said in the other thread it's hard to feel sorry for many of these "victims" of sexual abuse. It really is. When you can sit up and pick and choose which one of your violators to go after..... One you send the police after to lock up....but the other, you bend over and ALLOW to violate you over and over again.... And look at the language being used in the story. "dark side" and how "dark" was. First of all how are you going to be 19 and NOT know that your father raping you was disgusting and wrong? Second, what the hell do you mean "dark"?? Did the bastard's complexion change when he was doing it or something? Did the room get dim? The hell you mean his "dark" side???? So psychologically we won't even think this was a White man doing it but some "dark man" raping his own daughter. That's the image you get in your mind. They're using that term "darkness" and "darkside" more and more in the media now after we CHECKED them on it years ago......now they're bringing it back. But that's a different subject all together, lol.

Too often you call yourself "helping" somebody else out and they'll turn around and get with the person they WERE fighting and both of them double team on you. We all can agree that the land was stolen from the Palestinians and they are being oppressed; that's not the issue. For me atleast..... My issues are..... 1. Although the Palestinians are oppressed and face racism from the Israelis.....many of THEM are racist against Black people. They'll go into Africa, the Caribbean, and the ghettoes of America to set up businesses and oppress BLACK people just like the Jews were doing before them. 2. Not just the Palestinians in particular but the Arabs in general have CENTURIES of history of enslaving and being racist against Black people.. In many Arab communities today you have slavery going on and Black folks are routinely called "Abeed" and harassed and oppressed. 3. If the Palestinians are being oppressed and slaughtered.....there are nearly a DOZEN Arab nations with weapons, food, medicines and other supplies to come in and help them out....why aren't they doing more to help their own? Why are they waiting on "the world" to help the Palestinians when THEY can help them????? Neither one of them have been very nice to our people, so I say: my name is Mr.Bennet and I ain't in it.

ProfD No, it's not just the Catholics....it's religion in general. Read about the different battles the Muslims had with other Arab tribes and with the Romans in the early history. Killing and fighting. Read the Bible and how the Israelites went into different lands fighting and killing people....in the name of religion. Men tend to lie, cheat, and steal in general....and they use excuses to do so. Religion is one of them. I don't have a problem with a man who wants to secure some of this wealth for himself. If a man wants to get as much money, bang as many ADULT women CONSENTUALLY as he can, buy the finest cars and wear the finest jewelry....I personally don't have a problem with that in and of itself. It's the LYING and STEALING that I have a problem with. And even worse than that is if he claims to do it in "God's name".....I REALLY have a problem with that. Don't try to lie on God and claim God told you to do something if God didn't. Just leave religion out of it and do your thing to get what you want.

ProfD Most of it comes from laziness. Not all of it.....but most of it. Laziness isn't a PHYSICAL thing.....it's a MENTAL thing. They'll come to the U.S. or Europe and got a job doing the hardest shit like breaking up concrete with sledge hammers with their bare hands for less than minimum wage.....just to stay in and carve out a living in the West. But if they were organized and had good sense they would STAY in their nation and just use a FRACTION of that energy to plant a grove of trees, grow some fruit, and sell it at home and over the internet. But then again, they also are trying to get away from the violence that exists in a lot of these nations. This is where politics and religions plays a role. Most of the violence in these 3rd world nations is either tribal, over religion, or a mixure of both..

ProfD Laws and rules were created because when businesses were allowed free reign they monopolized the game. Laws, rules and regulations are checks and balances that supposedly give others a fair shot at getting in the game. But have they? Compare the amount of AfroAmerican businesses in 2023 when we have MILLIONS of laws and regulation with the AfroAmerican businesses in 1923 when we only had a FRACTION of the laws we have today.....and you tell me if all these laws, rules, and regulations have helped us. In the United States, most laws and regulations IN GENERAL were made in order to suppress the success of AfroAmericans. My evidence of this? From 1776 right up to 1865 the CONSTITUTION was pretty much the only law of the nation. You had some state and local laws but they were only a FRACTION of what exists today. After 1865 when AfroAmericans were so-called "freed" and allowed to become citizens, THEN all of a sudden you had a "law" for this and a "law" for that from the Federal all the way down to the Local level. White men sitting on their ass whipping up and writing out all kinds of laws for everything from loitering to trespassing to chewing gum to spitting it out on the damn sidewalk. ....aimed at Black folks. Why? Because the 14 Amendment allows them to make a slave out you again if you are convicted or breaking one of the MILLIONS (literally) of laws in the nation. So we don't need excessive rules and regulations. Just enough for our safety. Some folks can figure out a way to get around anything. Or in the case of a lot of racists...just IGNORE the laws and have your boys in authority to protect you. One of the problems with having a ton of rules and laws is that those charged with enforcing them can PICK AND CHOOSE..... 1. Which ones they want to enforce and 2. Who they decide to enforce them on and who they don't. Federal laws are clear that Marijuana is illegal....all over the U.S. Period. Doesn't matter what the state of California or State of New Jersey says.....FEDERAL law rules. If the Feds say it's illegal...it's ILLEGAL. So why are SOME people going to jail for selling it while others are allowed to grow it and even open up businesses and advertise it?

ProfD Like Tariq Nasheed said.....these folks are BURNING UP MAD that Black folks are staying out of it. They keep pulling, pushing, poking, prying, just TRYING to get Black folks in the mix. And are angry that so many of us are ON CODE and remaining silent on it. They can't STAND IT. You got Michael Rappaport and 'em all over the internet cussing and walking up and down the street making videos talking about he's keeping a close eye on those who speak out AND those who "remain silent" on the violence.....lol. He even said he was "making a list and checking it twice" to determine who stood with them, against the, and on the sidelines!!!....lol. Man, these folks are something else. That's how you KNOW you're on to something.....when you start seeing them get this angry and frustrated over your refusal to speak or take a side. But back to manly-looking Julianna....... That clown kept trying to tie Black folks in with "queer" folks....as if we are in the same category. She said Black folks are "even lower" than the Jews so we should have more of a motivation to stand with them and fight. I say.....let's keep doing what we're doing and STAY OUT OF IT.

When you're stuck in a jam, sometimes you have to put things in REVERSE and back up out of the mess in order to turn into another direction and make it right. Much of the poverty in the U.S. is caused by too many laws, rules, taxes, and regulations that have been imposed on businesses both small and large. One of the first steps is to dismantle much of the system and erase most of these unnecessary ultra-restrictive laws. It should be so simple that if you have a PRODUCT or SERVICE....the only time the governments (Federal, State, or Local) will get involved is to make sure it's SAFE and doesn't pose a danger to other humans. Other than that, they'd stand down and make sure contracts are being honored. Let people sell whatever they want to sell as long as it's not harmful. Stop putting rules and restrictions on them, what they can do, how much they can sell, what time they can sell it, etc.......and I think THAT would go a long way towards ending poverty in the U.S. atleast.

I've often wondered that.....for quite a while. Would a major cataclysm FORCE Black men to get up off their asses and do for self and start building a society for ourselves, women, and children like we should be....instead of hopping on trains and boat FLEEING their crumbling nations to come live up under White folks in Europe and the U.S. -fighting with other lazy niccaz who are already here trying to do the same thing. Maybe a global flood....lol.....or being hit by a comet....lol. But then think back about what happened in New Orleans after Katrina when there was a huge disaster that was merely regional and how law and order broke down so quickly. ....don't even GET INTO the nightmare that was. It's one thing for NORMAL men to have to face a challenge and are forced to unite to overcome it. But when you got these dope smoking, pot bellied, MAN-CHILDREN running around with braids in their heads -if there ain't a White man standing around telling them to let the children eat first and check the food to make sure it ain't spoiled.....you might have a GLOBAL "Superdome" situation on your hands. Like Neely Fuller Jr. says..... You got people around the world with hungry babies in their arms ducking and dodging bullets and sitting on dirt floors and making rafts out of twigs and straw, all asking one question: Which way did the WHITE PEOPLE go???? .....lol

ProfD I've never been a victim of molestation. I've come close to it as a kid when I was in middle school and a dude (never will forget his name) tried to groom me and some other boys in the name of "mentorship". But I sniffed out something funny right away although I couldn't nail down exactly what was wrong. This was back in the 80s where the public awareness of it wasn't as extensive as it is today, but I INSTICTIVELY knew something was wrong with a grown ass man constantly hanging around 11 and 12 year old boys offering them rides and stuttering and blinking his eyes when he talked to you one on one....LOL. Stayed away from that mutha- So I'm not sure what kind of pain and suffering victims of molestation are going through. However I would say that the prisons are filled with people who committed violence for offenses much less. IF...and that's an IF....you've decided to live a street/thug life anyway, why not get back at the person who violated you? Like I said earlier....... I'm going to look at ANY young man who claims he's sworn off sex with women in the name of being "holy", a bit sideways anyway. Because I'm inclined not to believe or trust him, especially these perverted ass Catholic priests. Perhaps women and some silly men respect a man like that.....but I KNOW better.

Troy Superior???? It sounds like an advertisement for a Charlie Brown's Christmas special. I was waiting on Peppermint Patty to pop up on the screen and snatch a huge bite out of it at any moment.....lol.

No, but I'm sure the numbers were a lot less than those who gave birth to more dumb-ass children....lol. Running in and out of traffic with strings of snot hanging out of their nose. Don't just fuck and pop out kids you KNOW you can't take care of talking about, " I ain't wurred.... Jeeeezus will make a way fo' um". In all seriousness......... People can't help the genes they were born with and I don't blame people SIMPLY for having low intelligence for whatever reason. Now behavior they clearly know better than to do and know it harms others.....that's a different story. However as a society WE can help it and influence the collective intelligence and image of our community by promoting desired and beneficial characteristics like intelligence, expressed creativity, disease free bodies, etc. Most intelligent people around the planet instinctively know this. That's why so many marriages are ARRANGED around the globe....especially in African and Asian nations.

Ofcourse it's Caucasians in general...... But as Neely Fuller Jr. and other AfroAmerican Social Scientists have observed about Whites........ The larger the numbers of Whites....the more "refined" and sneaky the racism is. There is no need to be "nasty" with it because you clearly have the numbers. But as the Black population grows and pretty soon the Blacks start approaching the same or become predominate in their population....the Whites often have to be more brutal and violent to maintain rulership. This is what happened in the South. In the North you didn't have but a HAND FULL of Black folks scatted in places like Philadelphia and Chicago....and they were busy trying to get to Canada. The Northern Whites could let them play around and write poetry. But in the South where the Black population equaled in in some cases out numbered the Whites.....they decided early on that they were going to clamp down hard and keep FIRM control over every aspect of Black life including the population, reproduction, residency, ect....so that they didn't get over ran like the Whites in the Carribean in places like Haiti and Jamaica.

I'm looking at the title on the video and wondering....... How could the attack on Cambodia be a damn "secret" when it had to be ordered by the President and go right down the chain to the Chief of Staff, Airforce generals, all the way down to the pilots? And ofcourse the U.S. had intelligence on the ground giving the information on where to strike. "Secret"???? Secret my ass. There are no SECRETS in warfare. They knew what the hell was going on and PURPOSELY kept it from most of the American public.

-Hit dogs holla. But anyway............. My question is why aren't these victims taking justice in THEIR OWN hands? Don't tell me they're afraid of prison. Many people are willing to go to jail and even die in some cases over more petty shit than being violated as a kid. I tell women I know who claim they don't like or trust men because of what their father or brothers or some other man in their youth did to them.....I tell them FIND THAT MAN who did that to you and give HIM justice. Don't blame ALL men. Don't go around punishing and side-eying ALL men because of what THAT bastid did. If you got a beef.....don't be a coward....look THAT clown up and deal with HIM. ....because it's easy to pick and choose who you WANT to "stand up" to. As far as their perverted priests....... To be honest, I suspect MOST Catholic priests are perverts. That's probably why many of them became priests in the FIRST place. To hide or cover up the fact that they're a pervert. If you don't like women ANY damn way......it's easy to "swear them off" and pretend that you're so high and "holy". You don't want them. This is one of the things that took me out of Western religion period but I do have a respect for most traditional African religions. Most traditional African religions PRAISE and CELEBRATE sex between men and women. Men are encouaged to have many lovers, many children, and plenty of sex. There are pictures and carvings of African Deities with erections! We NEVER had a problem with sex (between men and women) until White folks started telling our people it was "nasty" and a "necessary evil" and now you STILL got silly ass niccaz believing the shit. Kiss my natural Black ass......I LOVE PUSSY. Our people should start following OUR OWN morality and stop letting these perverted cave beasts with their twisted "Fruedian" based psychology give them their morals.

I remember driving through the Carolinas back in the early 2000s and in some of those small towns.....Wal-mart was THEE center of the community! As far as they were concerned, everything was done there. All the kids in the town would hang out there after school. All the people would go there to pick up or post mail. People even rented out space in the parking lots for their trailers and shit...lol.

ProfD It initiated from a conversation with an African woman a few weeks ago. We were talking about Hiphop and it's impact on American culture and I dug up the video as an example of how long Hiphop has been in the "mainstream". She pointed out the White kids in it. Something I didn't remember when I first saw it decades ago....lol. Just like Troy pointed out them doing Pop-lock moves as they were coming up the stairs. Something that I just enjoyed seeing, but didn't pay too much attention too until he pointed it out. But to be honest, wasn't Break Dancing somewhat influenced by Popping and Locking?

This is where the difference between AfroAmericans and OTHER groups and our lack of unity becomes more apparent. If Adams were a Jewish or Latino Mayor, other Jews/Latinos in the media, in NYC politics, and even on the police force would be riding for him right about now. Talking about the high crime rate.....relating it to the immigrants. Talking about the high homelessness rate....relating it to the immigrants. Talking about the taxes that will be raised....blaming THAT on the immigrants too. Infact, other Jews/Latinos from way out in California and Texas would be chiming in on the situation and doing op-eds in Newsweek and other publications demanding answers as to why one of their own was being "persecuted" by the "powers that be". They ride for eachother. Niccaz look at eachother go down and point and laugh. 1. Usually assume that the Black person who got caught up did something wrong to deserve their downfall. 2. Start cracking jokes and gossiping among themselves about how glad they were it wasn't THEM who got "got". Who can respect a people like that?

ProfD sounds like something from the early 1990s I was kind of thinking the same thing, especially with those kids doing the MC Hammer foot-work, lol. The girl (I hope.....) rapping reminded me of MC Lyte for some reason.....lol. But I definitely saw it either in the late (after 1997) 90s and quite possibly the early 2000s. It was played during a show about the aftermaths of the Eastcoast Westcoast beefs in the United States and it's impact on Canadian youth. The real question is what kind of midlife crisis is brotha @Pioneer1 having to revisit these old azz commercials Come on man.....you know how it is on Youtube. You look at one video and they start sending you more videos related to the first.....lol.

Ofcourse..... Northern states have been more racist than Southern states for about a good 40 to 50 years now. For one thing..... The Black population is much higher in Southern states, so Whites are FORCED to pretty much get along with the Black folks they have to live and work around. In most Northern states, Black folks are pretty much concentrated in urban areas where they are surrounded by White suburbs and even Whiter (is that a word???) rural communities. So it's like the Black communities are under siege in the North. White folks up North pretty much only come around Black folks when they WANT to or HAVE to.....where as down South, they have no choice BUT to live and work around us. Which changes their attitude and methods of dealing with us. Another thing is Black folks seem to have more "love" for eachother in the South. Our culture is stronger and more closer to the roots. We can enjoy eachother's company freely.....and others have to adjust themselves to it. Up North, Black folks are used to adjusting themselves to White middle-class culture and only being free to do our thing when we leave the job or get back to "the hood".

Well, we DEFINITELY know what stupid is. Go to any gas station or liquor store of your choice and spend about 5 minutes watching the people....and you'll get text book examples. As well as great examples of why access to birth control is so important.

Just received word that Henry Kissinger has died. I'm not exactly sure why, but something tells me that whether it be for good or bad (or both depending on one's perspective)....this world will NOT be the same as it was before.

Troy I think the criticism is a little to harsh. It's a CANDY BAR COMMERCIAL....not a documentary on Hiphop and the evolution of Urban dancing....lol. Personally, I appreciate the fact that Hershey decided to CATER TO the early Hiphop crowd and Urban AfroAmerican culture while so many other commercials at that time ignored us and many STILL do. One of the things I liked about Western Europe (and Canada) was despite it's low Black and definitely low AfroAmerican population, they seem to have an appreciation.....even if it's just superficial....of AfroAmerican music and artistic skills. When I was in Germany and Belgium I remember going to the markets and other public places and heard a lot of modern (for that time) and old school Hiphop being played! Like I said in another thread, they played hard core Hiphop like Black Rob and Too Short on the television commercials in Canada! You don't get that in the U.S. Not in the supermarkets, the gas stations, not even the liquor stores. We were talking about Walmart in another thread. You go to the Walmarts in the U.S. and they're playing damn COUNTRY MUSIC.....even in inner city stores. No respect or appreciation for Black home grown talent. So I can't get mad at Hershey for not hiring the Breakers from Beat Street to make their candy bar commercial more authentic for their Bronx audience, lol.

Troy Try again for what? According to this quote: .....you pretty much agree with my statement, lol. "But relatively speaking, a monopoly by default IS good....for the firm who actually holds it."
