Well first of all, as far as I'm concerned.....if they LOOK like a White person....they are. I don't care if their mother or father is Black. I don't care if somehow BOTH of their parents were Black and they came out looking White (not talking about an albino). If they LOOK like a White person, they ARE White....regardless of their ancestry. So there is no Mulatto who "looks White". They are a White person with some Black ancestry.

frankster If you are anywhere in existence you are in Nature.... According to YOUR definition of Nature. But let me ask you this..... Is there anything that you'd consider "unnatural"???? Necessity is the mother of invention. Why would they make something they have no need of? And Creativity is the Father. They indeed DO need it from time to time because birds often freeze to death and are attacked by other wild animals in their nests. But because they don't have the Creativity that humans have, they don't invent it....although they need it. Thanks.....To my understanding all human habitations are in Nature and Made of Nature. Yes, you have a pretty broad definition of Nature....lol. Yes it probable would... But if humans are animals....as you say...why would it? If I have enough information to say that the out of Africa theory is true. You do not need proof....Just enough information "beyond a reasonable doubt" Correction: YOU don't need proof. I do. I don't believe in so-called "theories". I'll accept as probably or most likely being valid if they make sense and there is no better explaination; however I don't believe in them or accept them as absolute truth UNTIL solid proof comes along.

Just like in a disease, there is a difference between a CURE and a mere TREATMENT. In a problem, there is a difference between a SOLUTION and MANAGING. Every problem.....EVERY problem....has a solution. We may not know what it is, but SOMEONE knows and as I've said before there are usually MULTIPLE solutions to every single problem. It's a matter of being smart enough to figure out how to solve it. Even if a person loses both of their legs. The solution is for them to grow two new pair. The solution exists....the question is who is smart enough to figure out how to grow two new legs on a human being? However if you don't live long enough or have the brainpower to find the actual solution (cure) to the problem.....the next best thing is to work apply the best methods to manage (treat) the problem until you solve it. So the person who lost their legs..... Until a person discovers a way to grow two new pair (which they probably already have) the next best thing is to give a person artificial legs they can use inplace of the actual ones. This knowledge can give hope to the Black race!

....anybody seen this movie yet? I have, and I think it's excellent and very deep. Infact, It's along the same theme as "Get Out" but much more entertaining.

Cool dances....but pull them White folks out, lol. We don't need to teach them how to dance. Let them watch some videos and learn on their own. Just like the videos, in real life you see how eager and excited a lot of our people get trying to "teach" White folks our dances, how we sing, our slang, etc. Trying their best to teach White folks how to be "cool" or "down". For what? I didn't understand that as a kid going to school.....why so many Black kids were so eager to grab a White kid and "show him the ropes" of out to hang out in the hood. I told my friends not to each White boys shit. Don't teach them how to dance. Don't teach them how to dress. Don't teach them what to say to girls to get dates. Don't tech 'em 'YIT The only thing they're going to do is take what you taught them to turn around and make the money YOU should have made and get all the girls YOU should have gotten. If anybody should be doing the teaching, let the White guys TEACH US how to make some money and acquire some power.

Yeah, White folk just up to their same old devilishment again.....lol. I don't seem to be getting it now. But the question is what or who caused it in the first place? And what kind of damage....if any...did it do while it was on the site? I know most Black folks could care less and are far less suspicious and conspiratorial than me....so they probably thought it was just some computer software glitch or internet glitch. Yeah right.... There's a REASON for EVERYTHING. Glitches don't "just happen". Somebody CAUSED it.....even if it's a programing malfunction. Somebody put the ability TO "malfunction" IN the damn program....for a reason. I told you all about an incident at work where they could control the machines from distant offices didn't I? Negroes sitting up in the cafeteria with their socks rolled down and half their teeth stained brown from smoking too many Newports.....looking at me GRINNING and talking about some: "Man ain't nobody messin' wit no machines up in them offices!!!" .....until we found out they were. When you're living in a society dominated by White racists, it would be wise to be suspicious about EVERYTHING and examine EVERYTHING that happens that "should not" happen.

Africans and Black people in general need to just STAY OUT of that shit going on overthere in Ukraine and Russia. Just stay out of it. How the hell are some of them marble-headed niccaz going to haul their asses all the way to damn Europe to try to get White folks to stop killing eachother and make peace when nearly half of the African nations AT HOME are at war with eachother???? White folks are steadily selling them arms and weapons to get THEM to kill eachother, but they want to stand in the middle of these two barbaric nations and try to "make peace" among them???? .....

Did somebody mention CHUCK BROWN??? Wha'chall know about BUSTIN' LOOSE.......lol. "talkin' bout bustin' loose guh-hul" "bustin' loose to my love jones.....bustin' loose to each his own" "hey LEROY....gimme somadat horn mayne.....yeah" LOL....MAN THAT'S MY JAM!!! I didn't know it was part of a particular genre. I called it "80's Soul" for lack of a better term. That's been my song since the 80s and I jams it on a WEEKLY basis! Troy yeah I lived in a townhouse in Harlem it is not as back and the picture you shared but yeah you step out you place and you are almost in the street. Plus we put are trash right on the street in garbage bags! That seems perfectly normal until you live someone else That's one of the reasons New York has so many rats running around in the streets....lol. I was in Brooklyn one time and was eating some jerk chicken and it was so good I started dancing and knocked over a garbage can by accident and saw a SWARM of rats behind it swimming around in circles eating....and they DIDN'T run...lol. Another thing about New York that got me was how they didn't collect garbage once or twice a week like most communities but EVERY DAY...and if I recall properly, back in the 90s twice a day in some communities. But like I said, atleast the housing in New York ain't AS bland as the rowhouses they built in some other Eastcoast cities further down south. Harlem has a VERY nice architecture even in the ghetto blocks. Every doorway has art and gargoyles and shit carved into it....lol.

First of all, why are they even----- You know what, man? NEVER MIND

See.....now, you're just TRYING to be obnoxious.

Prigozhin celebrates Niger coup, says his Wagner group can help Story by By Tim Lister, CNN • Yesterday 5:41 AM While the international community, including many African states, have condemned the coup in Niger, Russian mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin has his own take. In a long message posted to social media, Prigozhin blamed the situation in Niger on the legacy of colonialism and alleged, without evidence, that Western nations were sponsoring terrorist groups in the country. Niger was once a French colony and, before this week’s putsch, it had been one of the few democracies in the region. Prigozhin still appears to be at large despite leading an armed rebellion against the Kremlin in June. The short-lived uprising ended when Prigozhin and his troops agreed to head to Belarus but the militia leader was seen in St. Petersburg on Thursday meeting with an African dignitary on the sidelines of a summit between African nations and Russia. Prigozhin’s missive was also something of a business proposition. He said that his private military company, Wagner, was capable of dealing with situations like that playing out in Niamey, the Nigerien capital. Hundreds of Wagner contractors are in neighboring Mali, at the invitation of the country’s military junta, to confront an Islamist insurgency that is strongest in the area where the borders of Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger meet. “What happened in Niger has been brewing for years,” Prigozhin said. “The former colonizers are trying to keep the people of African countries in check. In order to keep them in check, the former colonizers are filling these countries with terrorists and various bandit formations. Thus creating a colossal security crisis.” Prigozhin then continued with his typical sales pitch. “The population suffers. And this is the (the reason for) love for PMC (private military company) Wagner, this is the high efficiency of PMC Wagner. Because a thousand soldiers of PMC Wagner are able to establish order and destroy terrorists, preventing them from harming the peaceful population of states,” he said. A number of CNN investigations, and others by human rights groups, have established Wagner’s involvement in and complicity with atrocities against civilian populations in Sudan, Mali and the Central African Republic, where they have been employed to assist local defense forces against rebellions and insurgencies, and suppress opposition. Prigozhin’s comments on Friday were at odds with the view of the Russian Foreign Ministry, which called for the “prompt release” of President Mohamed Bazoum by the military. For more CNN news and newsletters create an account at CNN.com Prigozhin celebrates Niger coup, says his Wagner group can help (msn.com) I know they have a lot of tribalism and factionalism over there in Africa, but SURELY many of our people can't be THAT gullible today! Not today. Maybe 50 or 100 years ago, but not today! As to let a White man sit up there and OPENLY cheer them on to slaughter eachother......no way.

Oh it gets deeper than that......lol. In my opinion Reparations doesn't go to someone SIMPLY because they're Black or 50% Black....but only to AfroAmericans who are ADOS....descendants of Slaves. If you're a mixed ADOS...I don't think you should be denied Reparations. It's tricky...depending on how mixed you are....but in my opinion 50% is enough to qualify you because a lot of slaves themselves were mixed.

True....but you can do all of the above mentioned in a lot more PEACE and QUIET....lol. I live in an apartment now, but I remember how it was when I live in a house. I could drive up and walk through the door with my pizza and sit down and enjoy watching television as loud as I want it without distraction. Now...... When I come home with a pizza and walk down the hallways I see little round heads poking out quickly before slamming the door shut. And the smell of what's cooking next door can sometimes overpower MY food that I'm eating in my apartment, lol. But along the lines of what you were talking about, I think apartments should be STANDARD housing for post people anyway. An actual HOUSE for yourself should be earned....something you have to work or provide extra money for.

And she's pretty too. Not sure what was going on......was her boyfriend cheating on her or not paying enough attention to her or something? Maybe she was just nutty, I'm not sure. I've been trying to dig up videos of HER talking directly but haven't found any yet. They're all of people speaking about her or on her behalf but not her actually speaking.

Lol....well if that's all they needed.....that's all they GOT. Generic as hell. Might as well get rid of the fancy names for the neighborhoods or blocks and just put a sign up as you come off the avenue that says: HOUSING That's it....lol. Detroit has a FEW of them, but that's mostly in the very inner city. When you move out further from downtown you get way more space......but on the Eastcoast MOST of the city is built like that it seems. When you're driving down the freeway pass some of these neighborhoods on the Eastcoast, there should be signs that simply say: "HOUSING" with an arrow pointed at the neighborhood, because that's all you're gonna get, lol. No backyard, no trees, no recreational facilities.....just rows of buildings with holes in them and doors attached, lol. And streets so narrow....as soon as you open your door and walk outside you have to look both ways to avoid being hit by a car....lol. Houses made RIGHT ON the street. It was a strange experience to visit family and we're sitting up in the living room talking and you see Afros and bald heads bouncing up and down as people walked back and forth pass the window and occasionally looking over into the house at you.....LOL. WTF???? Any nicca can just reach up over through the window and snatch something and run off down the street...lol. Same thing with the bedroom and the alley right behind it. You're in bed sleeping and any nicca walking down the alley can just reach in and slap you upside the head and run off grinning and you wouldn't know WHO did it....lol. You don't get a little space and room to move around until you get to Pittsburgh....lol.

ProfD One of the reasons why most Black folks in America aren't taking the actions needed to solve their problems is because White folks are pretty much keeping things going and running so there is no dire emergency for us to do so. Most Black folks can eat, have a roof over their heads, and access to medical treatment. So we can sit around and complain all day long but when it comes time to actually DO something.....we can duck and bow out and let White folks take care of it. If there were no White folks around to run the show and keep the lights on, we'd be FORCED to cut out all the chit chat and in the words of Arsenio Hall: GET BUSY

Humanity isn't a "race"....it's more like a FAMILY or GENUS. Race would be akin to a SPECIES

How many White women have been arrest and charge with filing false police reports when they call the police on Black men or women and lie about it? I think this entire story...though not necessarily "made up".....is being USED to deter Black women from making legitimate claims of harassment and abduction out of fear of being arrested and punished if they can't fully prove their case.

CONGRADULATIONS!!!

And don't get me started on the HOUSING in some parts of D.C. and Baltimore....lol. Most Eastcoast cities have row houses....but atleast in New York, Philadelphia, and Boston there seems to be some STYLE to them. Seems like when they built them they took their time to carve out designs and exquisite architecture over the doorways, on the stoops, along the balances that go up the porches, and into the hallways. By the time they got down to Baltimore they must have gotten tired of even bothering to design the houses and just said FUCK IT....let's just hurry up and build some places for these jokers to stay in...lol. So you go to some neighborhoods and all you see is one long brick building after another with doors cut out on the side....lol. This is not ALL of D.C. or Baltimore by the way. Both cities have some nice well built areas with fine architecture. I had another cousin in Georgetown we visited a couple times and I remember that neighborhood was BEAUTIFUL.

Chev for some BLACK PEOPLE, sometimes complaining to HR or managers will absolutely get you fired or cause much more harrassment. I KNOW THIS ON A PERSONAL BASIS! You're absolutely right about this.....sometimes. She said this was what she was afraid of. It was pretty much an all White HR staff and she didn't think they would do anything about it anyway except make him mad and he'd probably try to retaliate....so she didn't want to tell them. Instead she'd tell the men hoping WE'D do something about it. I told her this wasn't high school though. It's not like we can hem him up against a wall or locker with our hands around his throat and threaten him to leave her alone "or else". There could be legal problems. She wanted to do thing the "hood way".....which could get more Black men fired and possibly locked up. The crazy thing about it.....I asked her did she ever just plainly tell him to STOP and be serious about it? She said NO. When I saw them, he indeed WOULD mess with her inappropriately but she'd giggle and play around with an uncomfortable look but never straight faced told him to stop and leave her alone. After a few months she finally did.....and according to her, he stopped and moved on. ProfD Building or fixing requires action. At some point, we have to do the work. When you're repairing a house....sometimes a bad porch or termite infested room needs to just be REMOVED and REPLACED. Don't even both trying to fix it....lol. Even a bad ROOF. Don't bother patching it up over and over again just so every time you fix a leak on THIS end you get another new one on THAT end...lol. Every time it rains, walking down the hallway upstairs is like walking through a carwash....lol. Naaaawww.. Rather than subjecting the entire house to further damage, just tear that sucka off and build a brand new one from scratch. That's how you save the ENIRE house.

zeke1234 To Pioneer1 - Would you want a uniform tax for the rich and poor? Absolutely! It's called being FAIR. A flat tax for all people at a certain percentage (I think 10% is fair enough) regardless of financial status is fair. When you start making people over a certain income give away damn near HALF of their money in taxes....you're DISCOURAGING people from being wealthy or successful. Even lot of poor people wouldn't like that because they HOPE to become rich one day and wouldn't want to be punished like that for it. And to be clear..... This nation REALLY doesn't need the taxes of ANYBODY...rich or poor. It can print up as much money as it needs to cover it's expenses and the recent wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and now Ukraine as well as the money it gave out during the Pandemic has proven that. Let the people keep their money. The rich has to pay their fair graduated share. Graduated isn't fair though...it's discriminatory. Same for reparations. Why give MJ ex-basketballer yearly reparation payment,when he should be throwing money in, to prevent gentrification of tradition Black neighborhoods. Lol...I'll give you TWO answers for your question: 1. Because he's a Black man and he's getting Reparations not just for him but for his Ancestors who were NOT as rich as he is and suffered during slavery. HIS wealth of today didn't help his Ancestors of yesterday. 2. What MJ (Michael Jordan or Magic Johnson....either one you're refering too...lol) does with HIS money is HIS business. If he wants to invest it in Black neighborhoods....cool. I think he should...I would. But if he wants to spend it all on liquor, strip clubs, and bubble-gum....STILL cool. It's HIS money. But the point is, being a Black man he STILL deserves that Reparations money. ICE T the same, his filthy rap has done more to degrade and destroy the Black race,than any Klansman. I agree! But we don't want to start disqualifying people from the deserved Reparations of their Ancestors for THIS reason or THAT reason. That's a very slippery slope to go down and you may not be able to climb back up. Next thing people would be disqualified from Reparations for being convicted of selling dope, for making gangsta rap, for getting pregnant out of wedlock......for disrespecting an elder....for not getting good grades in school. Naw....if you're ADOS...you get Reparations....PERIOD. The U.S. will give billions to Ukraine to help 'repare' it, after the Russia-Ukraine war. Another slap in the face of Black people. Black folks slapped THEMSELVES in the face by voting for it in Congress and ALLOWING the Whitehouse to give it to them! We have power and authority in this nation....in it's government....why don't we USE it? Black folks are mayors, governors, Congressmen and women, judges, ect....all types of positions of power in this nation. Why haven't we given OURSELVES Reparations yet? Why sit around waiting on White folks to "agree" to it when we could have whipped up a bill and kept pushing it until it went through? That was a rhetorical question....I already know the answer.

LOL.....I figured you'd say something, which is why I wrote it like that. I knew you were from D.C. but I wasn't sure which part. But what I said was true though......it was a pretty rough area. SOUF'EECE....lol. Chev And, my Mom was mugged on 17th Street SE walking home from the grocery store. I can't believe you just wrote this. At one time, even the cabs wouldn't come to that side of DC. LOL. Then you know what I'm talking about.....LOL. Them cats were standing in LINE waiting for their turn to rob somebody. Niccaz in gym shoes and Adidas sweat pants stretching and bending getting loose so they can run, snatch a woman's purse or a dude's gold chain right quick...and hop a fence. Back in the 80s not as many people were packing gats as much so I guess they weren't worried about people popping them. Police NOWHERE to be found.

Well.......KNOWING about them and being able to DO something about them are two different things, lol.

Chev I thought you were talking about Little Nas X for a minute......LOL. "That lil'ole nasty Black X.....what is he up to now?????" Yeah, me too.....I've been getting that little black box when I log on too. I chalk it up to another tactic by the racists who monitor and tamper with the site. I've learned from Neely Fuller Jr. that when things don't seem quite right, there's a lot of confusion going on and can't nobody figure out why or how it ended up that way.....it was probably the USUAL SUSPECTS -the White racists. Don't put ANYTHING pass them.
