Look at this madness......... Black Tunisians lie low as violence against Black people worsens (msn.com) That's what happens when you ascribe to the "race doesn't exist" theory. Or claim that religion and culture takes the place of race or erases it....when we KNOW it doesn't. If you pay attention, this is the exact same thing they're doing on the OTHER side of the globe in the Dominican Republic. Persecuting and chasing the Black and dark skinned people out of the cities and into the woods and wilderness. And just like the light skinned Dominicans CLAIM it's not based on race but that they're really going after Haitians who are there illegally....the light skinned Tunisians are going after the dark skinned Tunisians and claiming THEY are "immigrants" and don't belong there either. Problem is, they aren't taking time to separate the people and find out who belongs there and who doesn't....they're going by what the people LOOK like. Racists are just using it as an opportunity to rid their society of the Black and darker people. You can take on whatever religion you want and call yourself whatever you want but at the end of the day....if you're Black....chances are other non-Black groups will SEE you as such and TREAT you as such. One of the good things about the United States is that most AfroAmericans RECOGNIZE who we are and aren't fooled by that "we're all the same" garbage.

Ok....I'll give you a hint......... The person in the photo....in the words of Joe Biden: AIN'T BLACK. I told you this was where the "identity politics" of trans-genderism was heading. If they can get you to call a man a woman simply because he "identifies" as one.....soon you'll have to call White folks "Black" simply because they "identify" as such.

That sounds like that the Hebrew Israelites teach.....that a person is what their FATHER is, regardless of the race of their mother. I know when I see mixed people, they usually look a little like BOTH their father and mother.....not too much on one side or the other. Same with UN mixed people come to think of it. Most people I see take after BOTH their parents, usually favoring one over the other....sometimes the mother and sometimes the father. If it's this way phenotypically....seems to me the genetic markers we DON'T see would carry the same behavior.

Well I'll tell you what.......I'm not going to FIGHT over his accomplishments, lol. Because they are so few and so vague. Obamacare initially looked like a promising program to get more poor people insured, but it turned out to be more beauacracy and a sneaky way to give the insurance companies MORE customers by FORCING YOU BY LAW to do business with them and buy their insurance! First he took the PUBLIC OPTION away....then he turned around and MANDATED it!

We can start with those tattoos she put all over her body and those huge muscles she has for a woman....and end with her being an advocate for the LGBTQ lifestyle and how she has a girlfriend. Not to mention constantly running around in blonde and red hair which speaks of self hatred. Talented young lady, but she sends WAY to many wrong messages to other young Black athletes...especially females.

Men and women are CLEARLY different.....and most of those differences are innate. They don't have to be taught or ingrained from childhood. Women have periods....men don't. This doesn't have to be taught. Men grow beards....women don't. This doesn't have to be taught. Because of the testosterone men tend to be more aggressive and violent than women. Not all of the time but most of the time. This doesn't have to be taught. Because of estrogen and carrying the baby she birthed, women tend to be more nurturing towards children than men. Again, not all of the time but most of the time. And again, this doesn't have to be taught. However each culture PROMOTES a set of differences that are NOT innate and have to be learned and repeated over and over until they become habits, and THIS is where the problem often lays! One culture may say women should wear their hair LONG....and another insists only men can do this. One culture says women shouldn't cuss or use foul language....another doesn't care. One culture says only the man should be the bread winner and manage the money.....another says whoever is best with money should manage the finances. A lot of cultural differences are do to GENETICS and how the GENES of one ethnic group or race may be so different from another that a particular behavior pattern was adapted into their culture to reflect this genetic trait. What's happening here in the U.S. especially among AfroAmericans is an often disagreement and conflict over the CULTURAL DIFFERENCES that exist in our community. Because most of them were imposed upon us by Caucasians. They have a set of cultural norms based on THEIR GENETICS.....which we generally don't share. So when WE try to adapt those same norms, conflicts often arise. Trying to make the AfroAmerican woman as docile as the White American woman often leads to problems because of genetics. Trying to make the AfroAmerican man as monogamous as the White American man often leads to problems because of genetics. This is why it's SO important for us as AfroAmericans to develop OUR OWN culture and ethical standards instead of trying to maintain the ethics and culture that was IMPOSED upon us by our centuries long enemies.

There's a LOT of feral niggas walking around RIGHT NOW in a lot of the ghettos of the U.S. Don't know how to use a wash rag, or brush their teeth, and can barely speak and slobbering all over the place...especially when they have a whole rack of gold fronts in their mouth. But Caucasians are a different breed. They are DESIGNED to be wild from their cave man days....which is why so many of them love their meat raw and love putting entire twigs in their food instead of fine seasoning like people of color do. You speak of a wild boy found among wolves? That's the history of the White folks who founded Rome when they left the caves! Check out the story of Romulus and Remus....the alleged "founders" of Rome. The myth says that when they came from up north (north of Rome are the Alps....mountains and caves) and went down to found Italy, they were just little boys and lived among the wild wolves for protection until they could grow up and fend for themselves. They even were SUCKLED by wolves as little children. There's a statue of this in Rome All of this has meaning. It symbolizes the White man's early days in the caves when the dog was his best friend to the point that the dogs would be considered members of the family and helped to raise the children.

ProfD Mainly because most Black leaders knew militancy could have led to a race war resulting in the wholesale massacre of most AfroAmericans. Even if they so desired. I think your SECOND explanation may infact be more accurate than your first....lol. IF THEY DESIRED. The fact is, most AfroAmericans don't DESIRE to take up arms against White racists. They feel they're getting too much benefit from them. It reminds me of that scene from "Do The Right Thing" when Buggin' Out ran around trying to get Black folks to boycott Sal's Pizza for it's racism and the niggas ran around laughing at him and clowning him and showed more support for that racist Sal and his even more racist son when they KNEW they were being exploited. Chev I've never heard of this film. Lol...I hadn't either until they posted it. Then I decided to check it out and I LOVED it! I started playing it on the internet in the day time but got 10 minutes into it and decided, NO...this is a movie I need to watch at night on the BIG SCREEN with some snacks...LOL. So I watched it later on that night and didn't get up from it once.

Damn....Death Row was auctioned off????

Chev This was the plan, to define this as being 'a black issue' when it was started by the Greeks. It had nothing to do with Africa. This is why I never voted for Obama. This federal movement was instituted during his term. While this is true, I voted for Obama and would vote for him again if there was a choice between him and Trump despite the fact that he promoted this. Why? Because although it IS a problem, it's not the BIGGEST problem we're facing as a community. I'd rather have someone in office who provides food, clothing, shelter, and medical care while promoting the LGBTQ agenda....instead of someone who promotes traditional marriage and family BUT lets people die in the streets from starvation, homelessness, and lack of healthcare. This is why I say we need OUR OWN political party as AfroAmericans, so that we aren't forced into these dilemmas. And, I heard that he was not raised by his father. He was raised by his grandfather, who was a White man and who was also a troubled man due to his own childhood. This is true. He's non-FBA and didn't really understand the true "Black Experience" of most AfroAmericans. I just can't believe that Black America fell for this trap. Look at the alternative....lol. John McCain and Sarah Pale-ass Palin. Just recently, I heard that there are many schools in Europe named after the activist ANGELA DAVIS and she is a homosexual. Facts! Europe seems to do a better job in celebrating AfroAmericans PERIOD than the U.S. I remember taking a trip over to Europe some years ago and when I was in the grocery stores....they were playing contemporary Rap music and RnB. You rarely hear that in the grocery stores and super markets in the U.S.A...lol. You'll hear COUNTRY music and Light Rock...even Pop music -but rarely do they play Rap and RnB. Same thing in most restaurants like Denny's and Bob Evans. They'll play Country and Pop music with White artists SOUNDING Black, but no Black artists. So when I went to Europe and heard that, I took notice. richardmurray I don't know. It all depends on how strength is defined. And of course, that is complex. well, I argue, most leaders in the black community in the usa are individualistic and thus are excellent from an individualistic point of view. And it makes communalist leaders in the black community farther and father or lesser or lesser. I define strength as EFFECTIVENESS. How strong someone or something is depends on how EFFECTIVE they are or it is!

She may be a great athlete....but that woman is disgraceful on multiple levels.

frankster I was listening to this commentary from Tariq Nasheed the other day and it made me think of you and our conversation we're having on the "g-code" some gansters allegedly had among themselves. His commentary on it starts at the 1:16:55 mm and only lasts a few minutes-

A Black Trans Woman Was Killed in Her Home in Greece Story by Samantha Riedel • Yesterday 3:24 PM Anna Ivankova, a Black transgender woman from Cuba who was also known as Anna Hernández and Ivanka, was found dead in her apartment in Athens, Greece earlier this week. She was 46 years old. According to information released by Greek police, Ivankova’s body was discovered by her landlord, who had come to collect the rent. She had been repeatedly stabbed with a sharp object and died of hemorrhagic shock early in the morning on Monday, July 10. Her death is being investigated as a homicide. Although police referred to Ivankova as a “person” in their news releases, the Athens News Agency misgendered her as a “man” in initial coverage — a mistake other Greek news outlets copied, spreading misinformation about her identity and death, according to reporting by the independent Greek fact-checking organization Ellinika Hoaxes. “Anna was a trans woman with multiple vulnerabilities as, in addition to her gender identity, she was a refugee, Black, and occasionally [a] sex worker,” wrote the Transgender Support Association, a Greek trans advocacy group, in a press release translated from Greek. Ivankova had joined the association in 2017, they wrote, after fleeing her native Cuba and seeking asylum in Greece; activists with the group had been assisting Ivankova with her claim. “She was active in the artistic field of the LGBTI+ community,” the release continued, “while in recent years she worked as a dancer-performer.” Many LGBTQ+ Athenians knew Ivankova from the popular nightclub and drag venue Koukles, where she regularly took the stage, per her Instagram. Organizers added that, to their knowledge, Ivankova's death was “the first recorded murder of a trans woman refugee and sex worker in our country.” Ivankova’s friends remember her as a “passionate, proud woman who never gave up,” according to El País. As the outlet reported, she left Cuba after being arrested multiple times by transphobic police, fleeing first to Russia, then to Serbia, Macedonia, and finally landing in Greece. But Greece itself is a deeply conservative country, with voters sending a concerning slate of anti-LGBTQ+ politicians to parliament in last month’s elections. “We’ve already detected an increase in attacks after the elections,” said Sofía Zachariadi, co-founder of the LGBTQ+ refugee advocacy group Emantes. “It’s a very hard blow that completely changes our agenda compared to when we started in 2016.” Police have charged a man Jacob Williamson met through the internet with first-degree murder. Greece scored just 52 out of 100 possible points for LGBTQ+ equality in a 2022 ranking of EU nations published by IGLA-Europe, an independent LGBTQ+ advocacy group. On Tuesday, the day after Ivankova’s murder, El País reported that thousands of people assembled in the square of Agios Panteleimonas, the district where Ivankova lived. The tone was a mixture of grief and fury, especially directed at the Greek far right. Protestors carried signs with slogans like “Anger and rage, we miss Anna,” “Anna lives, let’s hang the Nazis,” and “for every machista and transphobe, there’s a hottie with a tire iron.” Organizers say more protests are on the way, hopefully bringing change to the streets of Greece. “Until now the queer movement has been mainly white,” Zachariadi added. “We want to [support] the refugee population, [so that they can] participate with force and have greater representation.” A Black Trans Woman Was Killed in Her Home in Greece (msn.com)

franster Look up all the definitions in the dictionary/encyclopedia. I have, and I'm sure they differ from YOUR definition....lol. I remember you gave a vague description of what YOU consider nature but I didn't find it skimming through our posts. You thought nature was "everything" or something along those lines. If you'd just give me your definition again, I can answer your questions. The Only reference I remember is that "Time does not exist in dreams" and if it does its not the same way it does in Physical Reality. No, the assertion that time didn't exist PERIOD was made. Either by your or in a quote. Can't back away from it...lol. Like I keep saying, we need to stay away from these nonsensical theories from White philosophers. Putting out statements that merely "sound" good or deep but when you sit down and really think about them, they're crazy as hell. Ok so which of these are new age and which are not African?....you never said. All of thee above. Every belief I listed up there is "new age" and didn't come from Africa. The only one above I would say is New Age and European...is Saint Germaine. Glad to come to SOME agreement...lol. Time is a Mental Construct....Eternal and Everlasting as in Timeless existing outside of time.....is not a New Idea and is African But that's not the assertion. The constant assertion in many White New Agers (and Black folks who mimic them) is that time DOES NOT exist. The Anunnaki maybe the same or similar Beings as the Nommo or Chitauli of the Dogon. They could be, but I doubt it. I too am familiar with Credo Mutwa the South African "shaman" and listened to many of his interviews. Especially with David Icke. From what he says, these beings are more spiritual and closer to what many calls Extraterrestials or what a lot of people now call "Reptilians". While according to most of the literature I've studies the Anunnaki....despite the translation of their name...were more Earth based and human like. I actually want to believe that the REAL identity of the Anunnaki were the original Black men and women of that area and as usual the Caucasian interpreters put a spin on it to make them seem like "gods who came from another planet". I think we were referring to either Dinosaur Bones or Schrodinger's cat Ok, but still....you suggest that time may not exist.

frankster As I said earlier and I quote: Time is a Construct of the Mind(In shared Reality) in which we place events in a linear Sequence....The Past is a memory and the future a projection - both are function of the Mind Well.... Time is a construct of "the Mind" but I'm not sure if it is the HUMAN mind that constructed it. It seems to universal and innate for some one or group of humans to "come up" with the idea of time. Now the MEASURMENT of time....yes I agree....is a construct of the human mind. Categorizing and labeling time into years, weeks, day, hour, minute, etc. But the linear sequencing of events (actual time) of this Reality I believe was beyond human creation. Dreaming is its own reality....just as being awake is its own reality - one can access other realities from the dreaming state or the waking state. I agree with this statement with just one caveat: Dreaming isn't just ONE Reality but MULTIPLE Realities. When you dream you usually enter multiple Realities in just ONE night. And for most people they compile without overlapping for the most part each time you enter a dreaming session. True....We live in a holographic/fractal Universe. Lol...well...this is another example of some "White man's theory" that I was talking about. Claiming that this world or Universe is a "hologram" or "simulation". All 0r Most Truth are arrived at thru some sort of Ritual. Now, I find this statement VERY interesting! How did you arrive at it? Did you learn it from someone else or arrive at this conclusion from your own experiences and observations?

ProfD Seems to me it would be a bit frightening to live in a world believing there was no power higher than man. Infact...... If one were to believe there was no power higher than human beings, and White folks were on top in this world.....why NOT sell out and just be a flunky for them? Might as well get as many benefits and rewards as you can in this life time before the lights turn off....lol.

I wonder is this different than the Equinox and Solstice? And my question is what type of SPIRITUAL meanings do these time periods have? Should we expect certain global or personal events to happen on those particular days?

Chev I can believe that. I've heard from some trusted sources that most of the modern Native Americans of today are actually a mixture of 2 different races who occupied the Americas at a certain point. The very dark Black folks of India with the straight hair ......and the yellow skinned Asians from places like China and Korea. While some tribes stayed separate , they eventually mixed and this was for hundreds if not thousands of years but the racism and foul living of the Asian Native Americans got to be too much for the Black ones and they started not t get along.

Chev I figured they'd keep HER out of public....especially now. They don't want you to see how nearly ALL White folks used to live until we civilized them. When White folks lose their civility and go wild....they go WILD. Stop washing their ass or brushing their teeth and you can smell them from 2 blocks away with all of that mangled up hair on their bodies. Infact, both the men AND the women get DINGLE-BERRIES when they haven't taken a shower in a while because of all that hair and oily skin. Black folks almost never get that bad, no matter how bummy they live. The worse a Black person will get is ashy or musty, but they won't have doo doo caked up on them like about a quarter of the White folks you see walking around here.

ProfD Like Brother Baines told Brother Malcolm in the movie...... "Come on now brother, you know how our people are......." You KNOW most Black folks want to be seen....lol. They want to be heard. Some of our people are so desperate for attention they'll take ANY attention good OR bad. Neely Fuller Jr. said that. Black folks constantly walking around in loud clothes and acting loud saying "LOOK AT ME" Like children...."PAY ME SOME ATTENTION". So a lot of them just play RIGHT into the hands of social media giants like Instagram and Twitter. I remember a few years ago some crazy ass niggas was breaking bones and loosing teeth climbing up falling down on stacks of milk crates.....all for some "challenge" that was going around on social media.

Not only do you have to worry about Whites and even other Black folks who believe in the ideolog of "White Supremacy" but you have millions of Asians and Latinos flooding into this nation who are conditioned and brainwashed through and through with it also. Even after Europe and most of the West as a world power is replaced by the Chinese.....the Chinese will promote White ideology with an Asian twist to it. If you don't believe me...... Ask yourself why are the leaders of China standing around in Western clothing (suits and ties) with their hair parted to the side like White men? Why are their military leaders wearing caps designed and worn by White men from back in the 30s and 40s? Why aren't they wearing their "traditional" cultural clothing? They BELIEVE in the "White way" of governing and living...even as they claim to be independent. It's quite possibly that in many areas of the world, the ideology of "White Supremacy"....the belief that White people and their ways are the best....will outlive White folks themselves! It's quite possible that even after the last White man leaves the planet, there will be Blacks, Browns, and Yellows who still believe in and practice various forms of it for perhaps hundreds of years afterward. It will be found in the religions, in the philosophies, in academia, in entertainment.

Chev There is nothing new under the sun. The CROWD shouted and chose Barrabas even though he was a common criminal. So I believe that Americans strategically pick and choose, as you have said, so as to set the scenario that African Americans are pre-destined to be a cursed people. White Supremacist want to believe in this lie, and so they continually set up this scene and unfortunately, Black Americans play right into it, many times. When they want us to shout for George Floyd more so than Bronna Taylor and so many other Black victims, we do just that. I actually didn't think about that analogy, but you're right. Going even back to the Romans, Caucasians knew the art of public relations and had a history of picking or trying to force the "bad nigga" on us as our heroes instead of the good and decent ones among us. And this set up a personification on a global scale that Black Americans are pure evil and Sodom and Gommorah. And to prove your point..... They are pushing the LGBTQ+ agenda on Black folks both here in the U.S. and even in Africa so heavily for a reason. They want to make the queer face a BLACK FACE. So when you see a Black man or woman, you automatically think queer and sexually confused and perversion....instead of decency. It makes me so angry, but what can be done about if? Establish our own media outlets and support them no matter what. We want to talk about BET and Black Twitter...lol....there used to be a time 100 years ago that nearly EVERY Black community in the United States from Harlem to San Francisco to Athens Georgia had it's own BLACK NEWS PAPERS. We were that sophisticated! And every major city had it's own Black radio stations as well. Black folks weren't lazy and AS dependent on White folks as so many are today. Racism was raw, real, and in your face so Black folks had NO CHOICE but to do for self. I have said this before about many of my relatives, especially Black women like my aunts. They believe that it is a good situation for my Great grand mother to have been enslaved because their point-of-view is that we, Black Americans would never have the opportunity to be in this great American system if our ancestors did not go through being raped and enslaved. I, on the other hand, do NOT agree with this mind set. It actually makes my skin crawl, so-to-speak. I'm such a strong believer in the Divine that when I speak about the Divine...I don't lie but speak with honesty. I can fool another human being by pretending I feel a certain way when I don't....but I can't fool the Divine. I'm not going to say I was glad our people went through Slavery because I don't think it was absolutely necessary. It's like someone getting their car stolen as a lesson for keeping their doors locked and staying out of dangerous neighborhoods. ...well...it's possibly they could have learned that lesson WITHOUT having their car stolen, lol. Some say the experience provided the best learning...but really...I don't think it absolutely HAD to happen, lol. I will say that I BELIEVE that our people went through Slavery in this nation and went through all of that pain and suffering for a greater purpose. Do I know it for a fact? No Not yet. But I believe the future will absolutely prove that what some of our Ancestors went through served a very valuable purpose. Again, this is a STRONG BELIEF...not knowledge. I don't think that America is great due to slavery, however, I think that it is great because of the positive aspects such as women like Harriot Tubman, and the abolutionist movement, and the Protestant movement, etc. Slavery certainly didn't make America better, but being a student of history....the way I look at America and the United States has changed over the years. I'm more PRO-AMERICAN now than I was when I was younger for many reasons. For one, yes we had Slavery...and STILL have it to a certain extent; but atleast we fought a war and end the CHATTLE part of it. It's still going on in many parts of the world today. Same thing with women. Sexism still exists in the U.S. but women started off as heavily oppressed 2nd and 3 class citizens but in America they fought and raised themseles to almost equal standards. Say what you want about the United States but in this nation a lot of the people's who have historically been oppressed and denegrated.....this nation has allowed them some breathing space for the first time in a LONG time in history. Black folks have gotten richer in the U.S. quicker than they have in any other modern nation....including African nations...so far. America despite her faults....gotta get her props...IMO. But to keep it real Hitler learned how to perfect genocide from the U.S. Eugenics was birthed in the U.S. HIV, drugs, bio-chemical weapons, etc.....were also born in in the U.S.A. You take the bitter with the sweet.

I figured something must have happened in Clarence's childhood to give him so much hatred and venom for other Black folks. Either picked on by other Black kids or dissed by Black girls....something.

ProfD Yeah. I just got through reading an article about the sad ending to the brief Earthly life of Frankie Lymon. He apparently overdosed with Heroin back in the 60s. @Troy and @richardmurray Well.... That was a good Black film.....I'm ready for another one!

richardmurray The connection to the USA of or the value to the USA from the Black populace in it, or the condition of the black community in the usa in parallel to other black communities for many black people are not related to the emancipation of black people from whites. You don't think so? It seems to me that the more liberty AfroAmericans get..the stronger this nation gets. After the Civil War the U.S. emerged on the scene as a world super power, and after the Civil Rights movements of the 60s the U.S. emerged as THEE world super power! Most black leaders are negative. But that happens. The problem is the association, for you positive leadership = leadership but it doesn't. And it connects to my point about individualism. Under individualism, one is only responsible to lead thyself, not lead others, which is a key point. Under individualism, those who are negative leaders from a communal view, are 100% acceptible ro positive, under indivdiualism Leadership skills are like energy, it can be used for good or bad. If most of the leaders of a given community are bad, then it's up to the GOOD leaders to step up and counter them instead of allowing things to spiral downwardly.
