Pioneer1

richardmurray If you, Pioneer1 are the producer of said film, based on your words, and with the only change left you can make to manipulate kevin hart's characters background, you demand writers make kevin hart a construction worker laid off or college student dropped out, am I correct? your answer in comments please Yes. I would. For a number of reasons....... For one thing, not only do adults watch these movies but BLACK CHILDREN watch them. And children often watch adults in real life as well as in the movies and on television to LEARN THEIR ROLE in society. Just like children learn how to talk, groom themselves, and eat by watching adults do the same.....especially those who look like him.... If all Black boys see on television and in the movies are Black men being criminals, felons, and con artists....psychologically he feels this is telling him this is HIS role in society. He can't picture anything else because that's all he sees when he goes to the movies or turns on the television. White social engineers and psychologists know and understand this; which is why they used to promote Westerns and G.I. Joe soldier toys during WWII and the Vietnam Era. To encourage boys to want to grow up and be soldiers. No sir. If it's just a movie...... If it's artistic fantasy..... Then let's imagine and fantasize what WE want to see.....a successful Black billionaire who stoops down into the gutter and helps a poor ignorant White felon. How about that.....since we wanna play make believe.

richardmurray Ok...... So a movie about a Black man who is an ex-con and a White man who is a Billionaire does NOT re-enforce racist stereotypes? -Gotcha Thanks for the correction. And here I was mistakenly thinking that the writers could have just as easily made Hart's character a college drop out or laid off construction worker going through the same problems and it would have easily harmonized with the overall plot of the movie....but....obviously that wouldn't have worked.

So..... The ex-con WASN'T played by Kevin Hart? It was played by a White man? Or White woman? Tell me where I was wrong.

I'd investigate. If you had told me this I would ask myself: 1. Was Troy sincere in his rendition of what happened to him or did he purposely make the story up knowing that it was false? 2. If he was sincere, did it really happen or did he simply imagine it? Based on more questions I probably WOULD believe you! When doing an investigation, it's not about believing a SINGLE witness but arriving at a conclusion based on the claims of MULTIPLE witnesses and sources.

@Stefan Got an honest question for you............. I know we don't see eye to eye on a lot of topics however I personally see you as an intelligent and quite informed individual. However I'm curious to know why are you a Christian and why do you believe in the Bible? Do you have some sort of personal testimony that influenced your faith?

I've been watching the footage of the Israel-Hamas war over the past few weeks and I tend to gravitate towards the Youtube channels that claim to offer LIVE footage. But the thing I've noticed is that most of these channels CLEARLY aren't live. You turn on one channel that claims to be live and it's bright and sunny outside. Click on another one and it's midnight dark outside. Yet both of them claim to be "live" from the same region! You click on a channel claiming to be live and you see images of people running out of apartments and being ushered into shelters while sirens go off. The problem is, you saw those EXACT SAME IMAGES 3 weeks ago when the conflict first started! And if you wait a half hour, you'll see those SAME images again....being played in some sort of loop. I support freedom of information and expression as long as it doesn't cause physical harm so I don't think the internet should be regulated, however little deceptive shit like this does make me understand why there is such a strong call FOR regulation and honesty in presentation.

Ok, here we go....................... I'm glad PBT made it clear at the beginning that the Republicans were no better than the Democrats for our people. Seems to be this thing going around lately where people will condemn the Democrats all day long for being racist but are silent on Trump and the Republicans.

Lol.....perhaps that too.

Remember the other Black Republican ARMSTRONG WILLIAMS was the same way! Back in his 30s he was talking about how he was still a virgin....and probably STILL is since he hasn't gotten married yet. You know, this seems to be a thing a lot of "professional" AfroAmerican men seem to struggle with. Finding a mate or finding a sexual partner (female) who is strongly attracted to them in a ride-or-die way. Plenty of thuggish or criminal or even working class Black men who have no problem attracting women, atleast Black and White women for sexual purposes. But I notice a lot of professional AfroAmerican men in high positions like politician, doctors, etc....are often either Asexual (not having any or much sex) or gay. After decades of observing this and talking to different bruthaz who have this problem, I used to think it was the WOMEN not finding them attractive. I'm beginning to realize that THEY are the main cause because of their over cautiousness when it comes to approaching women. Tim doesn't take me as being gay, although me may be. But it does seem like the time of man who probably thought it was "disrespectful" to approach a woman for sex or try to "mack up" on them.

Well, when I saw that KEVIN HART was in it....I figured it would be some sort of low-esteem coonishness involved. I haven't seen the movie but the synopsis is about some ex-con who gets out of jail and struggles to change his life around and -yada yada yada....... Hmmm. I wonder who's playing the ex-con? We've seen this shit I don't know how many times. Just a re-enforcement of stereotypes. The main theme is no matter how "good hearted" the Black character may be, he's still a crook and criminal and not to be trusted.

Damn...... That was cold bruh.......LMBAO. Hey, what's this about him having a FAKE girlfriend???????

Interesting story by brother Elitom El-Amin I read that he was born in 1969 which would make him in his 50s. I'd really be interested in how he's doing 20 years from now if he keeps his course.

Because not all information is true.

I wasn't stunned by it because I've known about it for YEARS. The Philistines (ancestors of most of the modern Palestinians who call THEMSELVES "Philistines") originally came from the islands of the Aegan Sea and were known by the ancient Egyptians as the "Sea People". There were two branches of them. One branch after leaving those islands went to the coast of Canaan and started settling in with the Canaanites. The other branch left those islands and went to the coast of North Africa and started settling in with the Moors. They were known as the Amazigh.

Stefan I said: We all know that the UNITED STATES backs Israel and gives it it's military power. You said: That is a half ass answer. You really don't know The secret to Israel’s military dominance lies in how the West, (mostly the U.S.), dispenses its weapons. The U.S. uses Israel to test its newest weapons Oh! Thanks for clarifying that it's NOT the UNITED STATES that backs Israel and gives it powerful weapons....... but the "U.S." (????) who does.

Troy And this is exactly why I phrased my thread about Communication with Higher Powers the way I did. Because I know when you start talking spirituality with a lot of AfroAmericans, you'll get a lot of OPINION and EMOTION more so than hard concrete and detailed EXPERIENCE. Oh, you'll get 5 or 6 PAGES of people coming on here and even signing up an account to AALBC just to offer their OPINION on Miracles and Spirituality and will argue back and forth with eachother over different points of view. But when it comes to demanding hard evidence and EXPERIENCE- ....they start getting quiet. Don't want to talk about it and focus on something else. Sometimes even get up and leave. You start hearing car keys jangling as they make their way towards the door.....lol.

Melchizedek Zedek or Zadoc was one of the Canaanite Deities. Melch-i-zedek means "My King Is Zedek". As you said, the Canaanites (Kena-ani) were the original inhabitants of the land. They built many of the cities like Hebron and Jerico that still stand today. Now the question you should ask yourself is WHO are the Philistines and where did they come from?

Troy Yeah I have a BELATED question for you.....lol. How come you didn't give us a HEADS UP atleast a day or two before the Zoom? I probably would have chimed in! I signed off around 9 or 10am yesterday morning and didn't remember seeing this announcement.

Good.... The sell-out ass nicca NEEDED to get out. He was nothing but a distraction anyway. The only Black Republican who ran for President that I liked was Herman Caine.....and he's dead. Didn't agree with all of his policies but I believe he was real....sincere. These other jokers CLEARLY are props, put up to tow the right-wing line. Including the two Indian goof balls who don't have a snow cone's chance in Hades at even getting the Republican nomination, let alone the Presidency. They're clearly pushing Trump and expecting him to be free from all of his legal problems just in time to be nominated.

No....lol. Beauty and Attraction are two different words with two different meanings.

I read a report that white phosphorous is being used out on the battlefield in the Russian-Ukraine war. Based on some of the images I've seen, I suspect some tactical nuclear weapons are being used also. Be clear, we don't know WHAT is happening overthere because WE aren't overthere! You think it's not happening just because the "media" ain't telling you? Seriously??? Why do you think so many of these journalists are being killed by the dozens in BOTH conflicts? Neither party wants to full truth of their operations coming out. You usually don't know what kind of weapons were REALLY being used in a war until years AFTER the war has taken place.

It depends on one's definition of "proof". I don't go by Merriam Webster's or Oxford's definition, I have my own.....lol. My personal definition of "proof" is: Tangible evidence establishing the reality of an assertion that leaves no room for reasonable doubt.

ProfD I guess at this point it depends on one's definition of "business". If we define it STRICTLY as an organization established for the sole purpose of making a profit.....that's pretty narrow. Plenty of non-profit and not-for-profit businesses organizations out there.

Look what I found............... CIA Whistleblower's Bombshell Claim About COVID Conspiracy (newsweek.com)

When it comes to these crop circles.......... 1. I'd like to see them actually being MADE, to determine Who or who is really making them. 2. As I've kept saying through out this conversation, I'd like to know if or how these designs are supposed to help me and other people....especially Black people on this planet?
