richardmurray ok, i comprehend the questions nature very easily Ofcourse....YOU'RE the one who constructed and ASKED it...lol. Does Eric Adams rhetoric to the remainder of the black populace in nyc prove false now? Ok, after reading your original post a few times...I have a better understanding of what you're asking. Based on my understanding of what you're asking...I would still say NO. For 2 basic reasons: 1. Adams' criticism of the delinquency and dysfunctionality of Black American culture rings true REGARDLESS of any personal issues he may be dealing with. Many of our people DO have serious mental and disciplinary problems and DO need help dealing with them. I don't see how him being targeted and indicted makes this statement of fact somehow "less" true. 2. Most of the so-called "crimes" Adams is accused of committing isn't "street" crimes or violent crimes. Crimes that further humiliate and disgrace poor and Black people who are stereotyped as being more predisposed to commit them. He's accused of high-class so-called "white collar" crimes. Infact, based on the charges I've heard....most are these "crimes" shouldn't be considered crimes at all because there are really no victims involved and most politicians engage in them. Just because somebody points out the problems in our community and they may sound unflattering....doesn't necessarily mean that they are lies or that they should be dismissed as "self hatred". Minister Farrakhan has criticized the behavior of our community for DECADES and he usually gets applauded for doing so because most people understand that he's coming from a position of SINCERITY and LOVE and points the problems out so that they may be SOLVED.

Not trying to jinx you....just looking out for my brutha and his little girl. You don't have to be a Biblical scholar to recognize that the Bible CLEARLY not only condones but supports slavery based on the verses that I posted. It's a no-brainer. It's like saying you don't know enough about Hiphop to comment on whether or not Gangsta Rap encourages violence...lol.

ProfD They may not like it but they'll do whatever it takes to get his money Well, again based on MY personal experiences and observations....like you said earlier, it's not the WOMEN who are the problem but the men in this cultures. Most of the non-Black and non-White women that I've been intimate with so far (which are few) have told me that they tend to find Black men VERY attractive sexually but their families...specifically the men in their families...threatened them with disownment, physical harm, and other penalties for having sex with Black men. I had one Latina girl tell me a long time ago that her father told her that he'd forgive her for anything EXCEPT sleeping with a "Black guy". He said he'd rather her become a LESBIAN than sleep with "Black guys". I think a lot of our bruthaz underestimate the level of hatred and jealousy that exists for them by some of these men. Troy Is this Also based upon you personal experiences in Asia and Latin American countries? No, it's based on my personal experiences and observations with many Asians and Latin Americans THEMSELVES. If most Koreans in the U.S. are racist, why should I expect Korea itself to be any different? Perhaps it may be different, but should I EXPECT for the country to be different from the people who hail from it?

That was one of the 2 key reasons FOR so-called Integration. 1. Keeping an eye on Black students so they can monitor future "threats" to their society 2. Close proximity to Black creativity so that they can STEAL ideas in their inception and capitalize on them as well as get the credit.

I'm still trying to decide how I should take that response.....lol. 1. As an insult, in reference to what I merely "believe".....that may not actually be true. 2. As a dismissal of my statement as one of innocent ignorance and therefor the second half basically amounts to a cyber "smile and pat on the shoulder" as you move on. or 3. A neutral "Neely Fuller Jr. Style" response, similar to : HE SAID WHAT HE SAID....lol.

Pioneer dealing with Troy and frankster

ProfD Supposedly, there's no cure for cancer. Researching it has not produced any results yet. You know I'm conspiratorial so I believe there are definitely cures for nearly ALL Cancers and most other diseases out there because they were made by men in the first place. Magic Johnson supposedly has had HIV since the early 90s but fortunately the brutha's still alive and relatively healthier than a whole lot of less well off people who've caught it, got sick, and died since then. But even if you don't believe that.... We can acknowledge that the BEST cure is PREVENTION in the first place. The racist Establishment absolutely know what chemicals are carcinogens and cause Cancer based on decades of research. Even if they can't cure it...they definitely had and still have the means to prevent it. No amount of money solves ALS or any other debilitating disease. Again, even if you don't believe they have a cure....most of these diseases can definitely be prevented. I've heard the entire genetic code has been mapped out, so they know how to locate certain genetic abnormalities and genes that can trigger certain diseases. But my overall point is that when you say there is no money in the cure....I'm telling you that people would spend a LOT of money to cure their ailments if they could have access to those cures. But, the objective of having money is being able to afford taking care of needs as they arise. I understand..... However if she's 94, can think straight enough to keep her money in the bank, and PRESUMABLY has a roof over her head, food, and healthcare....perhaps she feels her real needs ARE being met. So no need to "waste" money on the frivolous...lol. The technology isn't there yet. Or being hidden for the use of a select few. AI may be able to compile enough information to fill in the blanks of human knowledge and understanding. The knowledge FED to AI supposedly comes from humans (unless you believe some of the Christian conspiracy theorists who believe it's powered by demons...lol). If human as a collective don't know it....how can AI? Troy I would use AI to benefit all of mankind. And there in lays the problem. Using it to benefit ALL of mankind would include sharing the knowledge with the wicked racists who would no doubt steal it and then turn around and use it AGAINST you and other people of color as a means to dominate, exploit, and mistreat you. You'd share it and help THEM with it...but they won't share their knowledge and technology to help YOU.

While I don't disagree with what you're saying, my focus isn't so much on these Black men pissing off White folks....as much as them pissing off the local population "of color". Often times, these yellow, tan, and brown skinned people in Asia and Latin America are MORE overtly racist than White folks. The Blackest man can go to Canada or Europe and bounce up and down the street with the whitest, blondest, most blue eyed woman in the country and the vast majority of White men wouldn't dare turn their head let alone so much as give them a cross eyed look. If a White man DOES have the nuts to say something to them....he usually IS nuts. Some crazy "off code" racist. But when it comes to places in Latin America and Asia, many of those people OPENLY oppose Black men dating and screwing their women regardless of the amount of money he brings with him. Infact, they look at a rich brutha as MORE insulting....because of their jealousy of his wealth and their belief that he should be "beneath" them. Yes, SHE...the woman he's with...may like him and even her family may dig him; especially if he's taking care of her family financially with his wealth like a lot of American men do when they date/marry foreign women. But the rest of the village, town, or society may not be so kind. But again, I'm basing this on the behavior of the people who come to America from these nations as well as some of the things I've heard from Black people who've traveled to them. And again....not on the internet but in real life. If you just listen to some of these "passport niggaz" on the internet sitting up telling you stories about their wild sexual exploits overseas...you'll liable to hear ANYTHING.....except the truth....lol.

We invented a whole lot of things....before we integrated into White schools.

I don't know who rolls with who and I don't rub elbows with the rich and famous, I simply speak on MY experiences and MY observations in real life. ....that way I rarely go wrong.

Troy Allow me @frankster;, @Pioneer1 colors, rainbows and grief are not NOT tangible. Ohhh...so NOW you want to involve yourself in the debates??? In the other thread where frankster is defending the Bible and claiming it doesn't support slavery when it clearly does...you're as quiet as a church mouse peeing on a cotton ball. ...but NOW, you want to "chime in". Well mah brutha.....lol...if that's the case then you can get the SAME WORK I've been giving him! For starters, as I've shown already....."tangible" doesn't have only ONE definition but MULTIPLE definitions. Merriam-Webster Dictionary definition: Cambridge Dictionary Definition: So not only can a rainbow or anything else that is REAL and can be SEEN -be tangible, but if you really want to take it there...even CONCEPTS like fear....if clearly conceptualized...can also be tangible depending on which of the MUTIPLE definitions one is using for that word. I've explained this umpteen times and even provided the definitions, but for some reason he (and apparently you) aren't fond of reading the sources I provide. Get it now? I BEEN had it...now YOU need to get it...lol. Infact, you need to hurry up and MOVE IT.....out of Florida before MILTON comes this week. ...or you'll FIND OUT how strong of a grip "fear" can have on you and how TANGIBLE can be! Don't play around with Mother Nature.

Mel You already KNOW most Black Americans are mixed and not only come from various African tribes/ethnicities but also various tribes and ethnicities within the Caucasian and Native American races we are admixed with. But I hear what you're saying about learning more about your ancestral heritage. The good part of it is you can learn more about your DNA and genetic coding to determine which foods, medicines, and other products are best for you to consume. I'd advocate for Black people to learn more digital technology if we will use it mostly to cure diseases like HIV and Ebola and Diabetes and other ills that affect many Black communities; but if they're going to use it just to make more "Trap music".....forget it. We don't need more videos of skinny bruthaz in dread locks peeing on and desecrating the graves of their recently murdered "op".

ProfD That's one aspect of technological advancement. There are many examples of how technology improves the quality of life. It still has cured any diseases. So in other words... According to many people "improving one's quality of life" doesn't necessarily equate to CURING DISEASES but rather making them MORE COMFORTABLE with those diseases? Kind of like how some people with Cancer or whose loved ones suffer from Cancer will spend more time gossiping on social media (more advanced technology) than they do actually researching and seeking a cure for their deadly disease. It shows you where THEIR priorities are. No money in solving problems. Actually....it depends. What billionaire in a wheelchair wouldn't give atleast HALF of his fortune for the ability to easily walk again? How many young otherwise healthy men with erectile dysfunction wouldn't give half of THEIR money to be able to get hard and stay hard when they want? My 94-year old grandmother cares more about leaving her money in the bank than anything else. She's reluctant to spend it on her real needs. I can believe that. Because she's old enough to know the importances of SAVING money and not wasting it on frivolous things. And I would say..... if she's 94 years old and still alive and can choose what she does with her money, her "real needs" are probably BEING taken care of already...lol. 😉 Surely, if someone is smart enough to use AI or any other technology to cure themselves, I'd imagine they will do it. Fact. But what about those who AREN'T smart enough....but need a cure? People go to hospitals and doctors with the expectation that they will be treated...and in the U.S. they expect the best care humanity has to offer. Why should they be disappointed? Rhetorical question btw... Artificial limbs aren't generated as in grown. Prosthetics are manufactured kinda like robots. Remains to be seen if AI can figure out how certain animals can actually regrow an appendage and translate it to humans. Then, how long would it take.😁 I thought this was already being done. They are already growing human organs in laboratories. That's what the entire "stem cell" thing was about. As far as growing appendages on animals..... Lol....you didn't forget about the mice with human ears growing on them, did you? My point is....they already have the technology to do most of what we're talking about....but STILL aren't using it to help and heal most people. So why should we expect the use of AI to be any different? It's not so much the TECHNOLOGY that's the issue....it's the PEOPLE in control of it and their mentality that's the problem and who are retarding progress for humanity. Mel Good.... So Generative AI can preserve MORE languages for Africans to choose from when they want to get together and talk about Black American "akatas". As soon as I learn Swahili....the Africans at work start switching it up on me and talking in South Sudanese languages so I don't understand what they're saying about us....lol.

Mel We humans are using Generative AI to create software applications that help us excel at solving complex problems. Now you may have just opened the door for me to point out to Troy a perfect example of what I'm talking about..... You say Generative AI is being used to create software applications.....🤔...ok...to help us excel at solving COMPLEX PROBLEMS. Can you give me 2 examples of this? Meaning, what 2 complex problems that humanity...especially Black humanity...face that AI is sincerely being used to solve? I'll wait...lol....but not TOO long. I got some gravy to make and some catfish to fry....lol

I dig what you're saying...... However, I'd take Frankie D over EITHER of the candidates running for office right now. The Black middle class as we know it today (or as we HAD KNOWN IT from the 60s to the early 90s) was built by the policies of Franklin Roosevelt and his anti-poverty programs. I gotta give him....and especially his wife....credit for that.

ProfD I have to go back to personal experience, observation, and anecdotal evidence....... You say you've known plenty of Black men who've gone to those places and haven't had any problems. I don't know too many Black men personally who have went to those places period, especially for the purposes of banging women. I know I haven't. Most of the Black American men I know who travel abroad like that are married, sexually stable, and tend to go to these places on business for vacation WITH their wives. Now I've seen a lot of them on the INTERNET who've talked about their travels to those place, but again...very few personally. That being the case, I can't really argue your point. I do know that I used to go to Canada and still do from time to time and a large percentage of the women THERE of all races seem to like Black American men. Although it started changing in the past 15 years or so and they don't seem to chase bruthaz around AS much as they did back in the 80s and 90s. I base most of my comments....not on my personal experiences in these regions...but based on the PEOPLE I've met here in America who hail from these regions.

ProfD Yep. If circumstance or situation can be traced back to an event. Smoking kills folks. We don't try to figure out which cigarette did it or whether it was 1st or 2nd hand smoke Then if THAT'S the case.... We might have to blame EVERYTHING bad that happens on this planet on YAKUB...lol. Everything White folks are responsible for..... Cigarettes Liquor Weapons Even the bad weather....from White folks who affect the climate with their technology. Trace it all back to it's source....lol. Mel I would've thought it was AI if I hadn't seen it on our local news. Well I'm hearing conflicting reports about it. Some say they have it under control and the fire is out, others say that the shelter in place order has been extended until next week. ....but just as long as my sista is relatively safe and doing well. 😘👍 Hopefully Troy will take your advice and either prepare or just move himself and his little girl to a safe spot this week. * Now this is a time when you actually NEED a White man at your house , to make some gas masks and fortify the home so that toxic air won't seep in. Also to make those little ham-radios to communicate with the outside world while yall are sheltered in place. ...they're good for shit like that...lol.

Perhaps..... However the more I talk to people who've been to those places and the more I interact with people from those areas and similar regions, the more I believe that as Black American men.....unless you're doing something outrageously perverse....doing your thang inside the borders of the U.S. is still your best bet. Brazil and Thailand are good for WHITE MEN with money. THEY can get away with a lot. When it comes to BLACK MEN with money, your MONEY is much welcomed and appreciated but YOU often times are NOT. Many times....especially in Asia....your race outweighs your cash. So many of the people...both in government as well as private citizens are so hateful and resentful of some "nigger" coming into their country screwing their women and flaunting his wealth over them. Infact, when it comes to many of these people....they hate a RICH Black man way more than they hate a BROKE one. People from some of these other countries will TOLERATE a rich Black American only for so long before his picture ends up on the news....sharing a split screen with the other half showing police taping off a hotel while a crowd of little 5 foot tall people stand around in flip-flops with their arms folded grinning and chattering about who got to the brutha first and what they did with his body. Everybody in the community was probably "in" on it. Sometimes it's best to stay in the U.S.A.

I understand, however at some point we must decipher the REASONABLE from the UNREASONABLE when tallying the death count of any disaster. Most of the deaths in New Orleans...in my opinion...shouldn't be attributed to Katrina although they wouldn't have occurred if Katrina hadn't occurred. Only deaths from the immediate and near immediate impact of the storm should be. I had a couple of cousins down in Mississippi who committed suicide (actually murder suicide) as a result of living in one of those FEMA trailers over an extended period of time, but the reason they were in the trailer was because of Katrina. This took place MONTHS after Katrina....but their deaths were an INdirect result of the storm. So should THEIR deaths be counted in the Katrina count also?

ProfD Yeah, I think you nailed it again. Sometimes I forget not to measure people by MY standards. Especially when it comes to so-called fun, what's important in Life, and the importance of playing it safe. I've mentioned many times that I don't smoke weed because it doesn't have a euphoric effect on me. So if I got $10 Billion next week, not a penny of it would go towards the purchase of weed. Unless it's to build a bunch of Marijuana farms to start a business or something....lol. I have MY idea of fun what I'd spend money on, but others have their own. But I hear (read...lol) you when you say that safe is considered "boring" to some people. To me, safe isn't boring but INTELLIGENT. I know a couple of women who are married and love to cheat. They say it's "fun". It's not the sex but the fact that they are cheating on their husbands and think they're getting away with it that's fun to them. If you have all of this money, why would you give your enemies an opportunity to take it away from you by doing illegal shit? I probably WOULD have sex parties though. But it wouldn't be like Puffy's Freak-Off parties. -No minors -No illegal drugs -The females would dramatically out number the males. -And I'd actually have quite a few older and old women in them...lol. And as I mentioned before, I'd be paying off key White people who have the power and authority to actually protect me from prosecution or public disgrace.

Man....you don't "sign up" or "agree" to be a slave. That's not how slavery works in ANY society. It's like someone saying they're "happy" to be miserable. If they ass is walking around grinning and happy in their condition....they clearly aren't in a state of misery. If you agree to it or volunteer to do it....it isn't slavery; it's servitude. Slavery is strictly by FORCE/ COERCION.

frankster ...color is intangible - but visible You just contradicted yourself based on the definition of "tangible". You said color is "intangible" but still "visible". You obviously don't UNDERSTAND the definition you just read, or simply don't accept it. My problem is that neirher you or I and most people cannot discern color be touch..... Nah, that ain't YOUR problem....you got ANOTHER problem...lol. It's called COMPREHENSION You clearly have a hard time understanding what you read. So the question is could you tell the color of a penis thats not your own by touch? I'm not sure. Why don't YOU try it first and then tell me....lol.

ProfD great questions. We don't know what *good* AI will do. We have a pretty good idea, based on what this society has done with the previous "latest" technology being touted. Social media. Facial recognition. What "good" has these so-called "advancements" done society besides help law enforcement entrap and incarcerate more people? AI is a tool that could potentially be used to solve problems and improve quality of life. Absolutely. "could" is the key word in your statement. Most folks will use AI to produce goods and services faster in order to make money. Correct. As I mentioned before, this is going to be one of the primary things it's used for. Not to actually solve DIRECT problems facing humanity, but to simply stuff more pockets that are already full. Some of these people who are already rich and are set to get richer probably NEED far more things than just more money. Think of the average 80 year old and what she/he may need. Simply more money isn't going to solve ALL of their problems. Industries will use AI to reduce costs which means eliminating people from the workforce Pretty much. Troy Potentially. Even if it did the cured would be saved for the super wealthy, while the rest of us pay for chemo, as Prof implied. Well, what would stop us as INDIVIDUALS who are medically inclined from using AI to cure ourselves even if the medical establishment as a whole doesn't? Maybe. It will certainly help in the creation of superior artificial limbs. I'm not sure if I'd use the word "create" but I thought the ability to GENERATE artificial limbs already existed. What?! Let's not go off the deep end. Lol... Didn't you praise some video a few weeks ago featuring a White man talking about such things? If a White man in a tie talks about it, your eyes start gleaming and you consider it profound cutting edge research. Now all of a sudden when I suggest that it could be done, you're calling it the "deep end"....lol. Now if this is the tech I have access to, who know what this tech is capable of. Well let me ask you..... If you have access to it, which of the above necessities that I mentioned.....if any...would YOU use AI to fulfill? Or what would YOU use AI technology for if you were given free range to the most advanced forms of it?

Well, remember that the vast majority of Katrina's death toll was NOT from the actual Hurricane itself but from the flooding in New Orleans. Katrina didn't hit New Orleans, it hit the coast near central Mississippi. Those levees being destroyed and the city flooding out is what added to the high death rate Helene's death toll so far is from her DIRECTLY. ...and they're still finding and counting missing bodies over a week later.

A lot of older Black people liked him.....especially compared with Ronald Reagan. I was just a kid and not very interested in politics when he was in office so don't know much about him or his administration. My favorite U.S. President so far would be Franklin D. Roosevelt....based on the little I know of him. ....yes, even over Abraham Lincoln....my second favorite.....so far.
