You gotta show people what's "in it" for them. You can get allies both Democrat AND Republican if you appeal to their needs and desires and show them what's in it for them. Everybody has something to offer. They may not WANT to offer it, but they have it. Others may not KNOW what they have to offer, but if they discovered it and how much people would want it...they'd realize they're sitting on top of a gold mine.

I was actually thinking of Larry Holmes when I was typing up that post. I didn't mention him because the situation was different. Larry wasn't White and I think it was a legitimate "come up" for him as a Black man to fight another Black champ. With somebody as good and as outspoken as Ali, they aren't counting on another Black man to take him out and potentially TAKE HIS PLACE. Another physically and mentally dominant and charismatic Black man for the world to look up to. They were hoping for a WHITE man to take him out. They don't call it the "great white hope" for nothing, lol.

Well, Joe Biden pardoned his son, Hunter....lol. ((shrugs shoulders)) What can we say?

Awe man I hope they don't either......... I'm glad Muhammad Ali had the good sense to retire and get out of the game before the White folks were able to TRY to disgrace him and his legacy.

ProfD Which positions of power within government do you believe have the ability to cut checks? Congress. They control the purse strings of where money goes and who gets it. But we also need enough Justices on TSCOTUS to protect and enforce the decision Congress would make to GRANT us Reparations. The President can make all the Executive Decisions he wants but they better not involve allocating money if he doesn't want Congress involved. But depending on how many in Congress support REAL Reparations Bill, we may need a President who is willing to sign it. But if enough Congressmen pass the bill...the President would have no choice BUT to sign it. He couldn't veto it. We should aim for both. White folks aren't going to let Black folks take over government to the point of unlimited and unchecked power. We don't need to. Not for a decent Reparations package. Again, all you need is Black folks and "key allies" to get it done. It can be done with proper negotiation. Remember....almost ANYTHING is possible. Politics isn't always a "zero sum" game where you're either completely in power or completely helpless. There are various degrees of power and it waxes and wanes between who gains power and who loses power, from time to time.

I actually think she DOES have a good chance of becoming Governor of California. Infact, she should have done that BEFORE or INSTEAD of becoming Vice President She probably could have walked straight from Governor's office into the Whitehouse skipping over the VP position.

Beautiful....absolutely beautiful. I'm not talking about the sistaz in the video. Most of them look nice, especially after their make-overs. But I'm talking about how beautiful it is to do such a wonderful thing FOR them because I'm sure it helped with their self esteem and self worth and made them much happier. We know most women are so self-conscious about their looks. I don't know if they can put a price tag on how he's made some of them feel.

Talk, talk, talk.......... A lot of tough talk on immigration, but White folks wouldn't have allowed all these millions of immigrants in here only to round them all up and send them back home. We'll see what happens come this Spring. We can even give it to the end of 2025 to see what they're REALLY going to do about illegal immigration.

This tells you how STUPID a lot of Democrats are collectively. The Republicans have BEEN doing this...since atleast the 80s if not the 70s during the Carter Administration. When they're OUT of power they're working underground to undermine the contemporary Democrat Administration...and when they're IN power they still keep a "shadow government" to plan and conspire outside of the regular branches of government. They can do this because for the most part, the Republican party has been made up of White men and "down" White women. When it comes to the Democrat Party, there are too many AfroAmericans and Latinos for White men to feel comfortable confiding in and trying to "conspire" with.

I hope our brother gets better. I have my differences with what Rev. Jakes preaches, but...... I've heard so many rumors. Maybe some of them are true, maybe not. We need to have Black investigators actually investigating these allegations and claims before I go along with them though. Funny how you don't hear much about Joel Osteen and these White mega church pastor's sexual discrepancies now a days. The last time you heard about one was that Jimmy Swaggert dude back in the 80s. After that...they all circled their wagons and kept their shit private. Niggaz have built entire websites dedicated for the soul purpose off "exposing" wealthy and popular Black folks by any means possible, especially if it generates money. And before that, they were writing BOOKS "exposing" powerful Black leaders like King and Shabazz (X). If they got something on him.....let's examine the "evidence".

I'm not sure if I am, this time. I said that back in 2016 when Trump FIRST got elected because I thought his overt and aggressive racism would "wake up" Black folks and force them into action and productivity. It didn't. Seem to me it actually had the OPPOSITE effect. Seemed like the more racism Trump and his boys displayed....the more niggaz started dancing jigs and wearing MAGA hats and supporting Trump. I even saw Black folks....on-line...donning Confederate Flag t-shirts and talking about they're proud of their "southern heritage". Overt racism seems to SCARE a lot of our people into acting even crazier than many of them already are. They'll go FULL BLOWN sell out. Look at Kanye and 'em. It took George Floyd's murder to shock them back to Reality and force them into action. Troy I don't know what bothers me more.......... Racist displays like that....or your seemingly neophyte reaction to it. Surely this isn't the FIRST time you've seen trucks rolling around with Confederate Battle Flags and Trump stickers all over them. Especially if you're living down there in Florida. What is it about THIS display of poor White trash frustration -that's got you so heated?

Sho'll is a lot of Indians getting positions in Trump's Cabinet...lol. Maybe the Indian American (and Indians in India) were hedging their bets by ensuring that no matter WHO wins....THEY win, lol. Kamala wins...you got an Indian President. Trump wins...you got a bunch of Indians close to the Whitehouse.

I don't disagree with what you've said or the points you've made in other threads. I think the "dispute" comes from what we're choosing to put weight on. Ofcourse there are SOME AfroAmerican men who can get SOME non-FBA women. I know this by experience and observation. However the RATE is the issue. The fact that...like you said....most Black American have to put in so much extra effort to do it when we shouldn't have to is the issue. Also, the fact that so many women are trained to ignore our sexual potency as AfroAmerican men....just IGNORE it...and focus more on negative stereotypes than sexual pleasure, seems a bit strange. There are nymphomaniacs in EVERY society who don't care about negative stereotypes, they just want some good Vitamin D....lol. Yet many of THOSE women aren't choosing up on Black American men, which tells me the problem is deeper. Only that AfroAmerican man can decide for himself whether it's worth the extra effort. Especially when non-FBA snatch box may not be any better than that which is easier to catch For me, the issue isn't just about sex itself. It's about IMAGE. The fact that many of these women BELIEVE that White men or "other" men are superior to Black American men or somehow a "better catch" simply because of who they are is the problem. Even if they were freaks and enjoyed sex with Black American men....the fact of not wanting to be seen in public with one or marrying one would STILL be a major problem because they're saying that they feel these men are "better". BTW....for some reason I like the term "pussy" better than "snatch box". Snatch box sounds too Trumpish...lol.

And the Biden Administration....on cue...ain't gonna do a damn thing about it. ProfD ....and before you say "Well what can Biden do? What could Obama have done? They're only Presidents. They can't prosecute people or charge them with crimes." Well, everybody is talking about how Trump is going to "get back" at HIS enemies and seek pay-back and revenge on them. What the hell can HE do? If Biden or Obama couldn't do anything, why the hell does TRUMP seem to have so much power to get what HE wants done to the people he don't like?

While this may be true, Mike Tyson isn't "average". Look at how my man is built at 58 years of age. That's not the body of the "average" 50 something year old man....lol. That's why I was hoping he'd won. And since the fight was probably "fixed" anyway, they probably could have orchestrated it FOR him to win and make the middle-aged fellas look better, lol.

Stop playing...is THIS one of the African women I know in real life??? Lol....what you just laid out....point by point...is the VERY argument I hear from quite a few African women I talk to on a regular basis as to why they don't deal with Black American men! I'm talking point by point. They don't mention the "white jesus" thing like you did....that's usually a point that I bring up, lol. I believe the indoctrination with the images of a white Jesus lays the foundation for falling inlove with White people later on in life. This was the case not just with many Africans, but also with many AfroAmericans before we became "conscious" and started insisting on Jesus being a man of color. Many of them STILL worship a Jesus whom they portray as White.

I can't say that I have.

I've mentioned this before...... I think Reparations will come when WE as AfroAmericans put ourselves in enough positions of power in the U.S. government to GIVE OURSELVES Reparations.

ProfD Clearly, you're holding Black folks to a different standard. Absolutely. Because we're in a different category. As a race, we can't afford to do the same negativity that White folks do. 1. As a race, we have more problems to solve than they do, so we don't have the time and energy to waste on wars. 2. As a race, we don't have enough wealth and power to balance off the effects and consequences that comes from such negative behavior as war. Russia and Ukraine can fight a war and thousands get killed and nobody starves to death and they can rebuild both countries within 10 years. Sudan and Congo go to war with eachother and thousands of people end up starving, disease spreads, and the nations are in ruins for the next several decades. Even on a more individual level, I constantly drop knowledge on the Black youth....especially the ones going to college...that they can't afford to engage in the same negative behavior that White kids engage in. I tell them they can't afford to get drunk every weekend and do all kinds of weird and dangerous drugs like their White classmates because the negative consequences for them will be worse. Black people can't afford to live as reckless as White folks.

Not only am I'm with you...I'm way ahead of you on this one bro! Appreciate it!

While you're right and the negativity that they've been taught about AfroAmericans is the usual excuse I hear for why so many African women don't have sexual relationships with AfroAmericans men; when they bring this argument to me I usually present 2 counter points: 1. The same negative behavior that Africans CLAIM prevents them from relating to Black Americans is often times just as bad if not WORSE among White Americans. Millions of White people are homeless, have criminal records, have drug and alcohol problems, and are abusive and sexually perverted; yet this doesn't stop Africans from seeking THEM for marriage and sexual relationships. 2. It's funny to me how the negative portrayals of AfroAmericans can prevent African women from having sexual relationships with Black American MEN, but it doesn't seem to stop African MEN from pursuing and having sexual relationships with Black American WOMEN. Most African men I know chase after Black American women...of all shades....like a game of cops and robbers. I talk to an African dude and he can barely focus on the conversation with his eyes bucking and looking around trying to catch a glimpse at and grin at the sistaz walking past us....lol. The MEN don't seem to care about those "negative stereotypes" when it comes to trying to bang Black American women. So again, it seems as if the Black American MALE is being singled out.

Looks like they finally got ONE...... Trump picks former NFL player Scott Turner as HUD secretary He may be a Republican, but he's a straight up FBA Black man. Maybe we'll get some more up in there, lol.

ProfD Sure. It doesn't make sense to me that poor folks won't form a movement to change their station. It makes sense when you consider that many if not most poor and destitute people are stupid (below average intelligence) or have mental problems/addictions so they don't have sense enough to do this. It would be like asking why do squirrels gather together in a park to beg people for nuts when they could just "get together" and form a movement to grow their own nuts or take some from a grocery store...lol. They WOULD if they had sense enough to. "Look here yall...... We need to stop hanging out at this park begging humans for shit he can easily get on our own! I know of a Wal-mart 3 blocks down. If we could just GET TOGETHER, we could come up with a plan to get OUR OWN nuts anytime we want!" Instead, poor white folks will log-on to their computers to support rich white people and/or hate on Black folks. Right. We can ask "why" all day long, but the first thing we need to do is acknowledge this fact and accept it and move accordingly.

Over on this end, I see a lot of Black men hollering at and flirting with Latina women, but I don't see a lot of action taking place between them. But just because I don't see it, doesn't mean it's not happening. I don't chase after non-Black women anymore. The only women I'll actually pursue are Black women from the Americas, Africa, or India (Dravidian types). But as far as non-Black women go of ANY race....I don't chase after them, on principle. So I'm not sure how likely non-Black Latina women of that age range are to actually have sexual relationships with Black men. It's one thing to grin and giggle or let a man buy you coffee or a drink at the bar, and another thing to let him fuck you...lol.

Yeah.... I supposed you can say that the killing going on in St. Louis is NOTHING compared to the killing going on in Chicago. But ask the families of the St.Louis victims. I bet they'd tell you a different story. Black folks getting killed in Africa and the U.S. is terrible REGARDLESS as to what's taking place with other people in other countries. If Russia and NATO annihilate eachother in a Nuclear War, that still won't erase some of the things I saw Black folks do to eachother growing up in Detroit.
