  1. A lot of Black people support Donald Trump, for no logical reason. I talk to Black folks at work who love Trump and hope he gets in, but when I ask them why....the just look at he with a silly grin on their face and usually walk away to their jobs. They can't even EXPLAIN why they are pro-Trump. I think it's Trump's boldness that attracts a lot of people, especially his Black supporters. Minister Farrakhan as broadcasted on television now as he was back in the 90s so our community is starving for a bold leader who "tells it like it is". Who rails against the main-stream and establishment. Our people are looking for that. Trump IS the fucking Establishment itself, but he's such a good liar that he can criticize them and be apart of them at the same time and you won't see a contradiction...lol.
  2. To be honest, I'm wondering if the 25th Amendment shouldn't already be invoked. Harris probably should assume office RIGHT NOW for the security of the nation.
  3. Yeah, he came here to give our government a direct heads up on what he's GOING to do. Not seeking permission of what to do or how much further he can go in the conflict, but TELLING THEM what he's GOING to do.....so they aren't caught off guard. Poor little Candy Ass Candace Owens done fucked around and lost her job for criticizing Israel...lol. Yet she STILL is clueless as to the situation and believes these right-wing racists who claim to be against Israel too. She STILL rocks with the right-wing Republicans even after they've shown her time and time again that they are hypocrites and are NOT anti-Semitic, just anti-Black. As long as she stood in her lane and criticized "the nigraz"....she was cool. Started running her mouth about Jooz...and got tossed out on her ass, lol.
  4. I'll take Kamala over Trump.....but I don't have too much confidence in her. Her choice in marriage says a lot about her.
  5. ProfD My brutha, I forgot that you were in the D.C. area. Well, since you live in D.C. you might want to drop by and check on our elder Neely Fuller Jr. from time to time....LOL. I haven't checked out his broadcast in months, I hope he's still doing fine at 90 something years old. Did you attend Tariq's event? If so, what did our sista Vicki Dillard look like upfront and in person? I know she has health issues, but that's a cute little sista.....with her loud mouth self, LOL.
  6. Speak of "the devil".....literally, lol.
  7. So.... A couple of White cops with skull and Viking tattoos come into this sista's home. After a brief exchange, one of the cops TELLS her to go to the stove and take care of it so that it doesn't cause a fire, and she does. Some words were exchanged. And she tells one of the cops "I rebuke you in the name of Jesus". At which point he says, "YOU BETTER NOT or I swear I'll shoot you in the fucking face" Hmmm......That right there was strange as hell. Then he draws his gat, she apologizes, ducks down in fear, and gets shot in the face. Hollywood itself couldn't make this shit up! I hope our beautiful sista is at peace right now. So much was wrong with this situation, but what I don't hear many people talking about was the "I rebuke you in the name of Jesus" part. Why did she say that? What led up to her saying that to that officer? I haven't heard reports of her having mental or drug problems, so why would she just say something like that out of the blue unless something he did or said PROVOKED her into that response. And then....what kind of DEMON takes offense to this and murders a thin, calm, defenseless woman over it? She must have saw something demonic about him and he knew it.
  8. ProfD We're almost there already, Jim Crow Joe JUST dropped out! Whitmer wouldn't be too bad. She's doing an "alright" job as Governor of Michigan and the Republicans hate her, so she must be doing something right. I have a little issue with her not locking up those armed rednecks who showed up at the state Capital back in 2020, but I won't hold it against her. She chose a Black Lt.Governor and spends a lot of time in Detroit. No, Obama is my girl. I'm pushing hard for her to get in. I'd take Harris over Trump, but I ain't gonna vote for her. As far as a woman becoming President, I don't think MOST Americans have a problem with it. Maybe a few old fashioned so-called "traditionalists" do, but the vast majority of Americans grew up with working and single mothers, so they grew up seeing women handling business. Not to mention women managers and supervisor and business owners. I don't think being a female would be a major problem.
  9. I don't trust either Party, but if Michelle Obama runs.....I WILL support and vote for her and encourage others under my influence to vote for her as well.
  10. If the Democrats want to win...Biden has gotta go. He needs to drop out the race or they need to invoke the 25th Amendment and get him out. And they don't have too much time to do it. As for his replacement........ Harris is a MAYBE but I'm not sure if she is trusted enough to gain the popular support needed to defeat Trump. Michelle Obama....on the other hand...does. I think she's more trustworthy, less likely to play games with the GOP, and on top of that is SLEEPING WITH one of the best political advisor you could offer....lol. The cherry on top is that she's an FBA sista from the hood of Chicago. Unlike her husband or Kamala, she's a STRAIGHT UP Soul Sista with little admixture. There is no mistaking what SHE identifies as...lol.
  11. Good ole Mushmouth himself. And he actually SOUNDS sillier than he looks! I hadn't really heard him speak before because I wasn't inclined to. The first time I actually took time to listen to that goof ball was during his convention speech. I couldn't believe someone would actually vote for somebody who sounds that goofy. An even bigger coon than him is that other Alvin-the-Chipmunk looking fool.....Vivek Ramaswamy Ann Coulter told him TO HIS FACE that she wouldn't vote for him because he's an Indian, and he still is riding for the GOP.
  12. Whenever a major MAN MADE incident takes place in the world, one of the first questions we should ask ourselves is WHO BENEFITS from it?
  13. ProfD My brutha..... To be honest with you, I thought things may have changed with the younger (under 60) generations who grew up AFTER the Malcolm and MLK era. Especially the Africans. I know most of the world isn't as technologically advanced as the United States but they do have schools and libraries and teachers all through out Africa and the internet has been there for atleast 20 years. How can they STILL harbor such a deep love and infatuation for White folks with all of the information on history that is available to them? I wouldn't spend an ounce of energy studying or admiring Africans and Latinos. I wouldn't...if it weren't for the women, lol. For the past 20 years or so I've been seeing some VERY attractive African women. I'm not talking about the light-skinned mixed ones of North and East Africa, but those from Nigeria, Congo, Zulus, and other parts as well. It's hard for me to just let them go and let White men snatch them up when as AfroAmerican men I know we have so much swag and culture to offer. Not just for me at my age, but I don't want to see these younger brothers be at a lost because of cultural misunderstandings. Both political parties are courting other minority groups in order to marginalize the Black vote. Those groups don't bear the legacy of slavery either. While this is true, most of them have been colonized and COLORISM is rife in Latino and most African communities. Why they don't look at AfroAmerica as a symbol of hope against colorism atleast, I don't understand. Also, I don't understand why Black and Brown skinned Latinos aren't breaking down the doors trying to learn about Malcolm X and other AfroAmerican leaders and heroes with the amount of hell so many of them catch in their own racist communities from the other lighter skinned Latinos.
  14. Whaddup Fam......... I know it's been a minute. Martin Lawrence used to say: How yall feel ! So much has been going on, now you got this situation with Trump that I might stop by here and get into this weekend, I'm sure yall have covered it like gravy already. But on a similar topic, the Republican National Convention is going on this week and there's been a lot of talk of "family values", which is one of the main political tenets that Republicans CLAIM to support. We know it's a damn lie, but so many people around the nation...including people of color...believe it. At my job as well as elsewhere around the city, I've met so many Africans and Latinos who said they were supporting Trump because they believe that the Republican party believes in "family values" like they do. They favor a more traditional culture and feel the Democrats don't represent that. At first I was arguing with them over this, but the more I studied both groups.....Africans and Latinos....the more I began to realize how much they really DID have in common with the Republican Party and the so-called right-wing of the United States! What do I mean? To put it plainly....ALL THREE groups tend to support cultures and values rooted in both RACISM and SEXISM. SEXISM Many Latinos and Africans come from cultures where the women are expected to be obedient, subservient to the men, not practice birth control, no access to abortions. Women are generally not allowed to get divorced from their men or leave them despite the physical and emotional abuse they may be enduring. These are the family "traditions" of old America that the Republicans want to bring back, and these are the "traditions" that can be found in too many communities in both Latin America and the continent of Africa. RACISM Many Latinos and Africans come from cultures where Black people and just having darker skin places you at the bottom of society and lighter skin and white skin is often admired and sought after. In many Latino cultures people are encouraged to mate with White people and have babies with them to "improve" their families. Yes...this is true! I was surprised at how racist many BLACK African nations are towards other Black people, including Black Americans. That's an entire story in and of itself. All, right in line with the racist beliefs of the Republicans. An old saying is, with all thine getting....get understanding. It's one thing to have superficial knowledge about these different "minority" groups that we as AfroAmericans have helped get into this nation and have welcomed in assuming that they were going to be our "allies" against White racism.....but it's another thing to have a proper UNDERSTANDING of just who these people were and what they really believed despite their color.
  15. Whaddup AALBC Family! I'm in the building. I've been busy with some things going on at work as well as some personal issues in my neighborhood that I'm in the process of straightening out so not a lot of leisure time to spend online. I actually was going to post a thread here Thursday night after Trump's guilty verdict but messed around and forgot about it until this morning when I checked in and saw Troy's thread.
  16. I'm in the house....... Just been very busy at work and some things going on in the community. Thanks for the concern for your brother!
  17. That's not it. I'm not that "tender"....lol. Simply put.......... As I get older....the less I like wasting my time.
  18. frankster My "turn"??? You asked me to provide you with Hadith that said Prophet Muhammad was a White man. I did. Instead of it satisfying you, you ran around the internet digging up multiple and often contradictory Hadith that claims Muhammad was Black, Brown, AND White..lol. Which pretty much supports my position of why I don't f' with religion anyway. There is too much contradiction and confusion in most organized religions for them to supposedly "come from God". But you can choose whichever Hadith you like or supports your belief. If you want to believe Muhammad was a Black man, a Brown man, or even a White man....be my guest. Because not just in this particular case, but now that I look back over the years......it appears that around here.....it doesn't matter too much whether I'm right or not; nor does it matter how much evidence I bring to prove my assertions.
  19. In your 90 years, maybe no man had taken time to sit you down and explain this to you but........getting that piece of pussy is THE REASON WHY most men work and get married and build their reputations, lol. Not all....but most. Kind of like how a cop or judge would risk their career and jail time to steal and embezzle money they come across. Well, the entire reason they're working and chose their career was to acquire money....so when their goal is RIGHT THERE in their faces, it's hard for some of them to resist. Their mentality is....If money is their ultimate goal and it's RIGHT THERE in their faces then why not cut to the chase???? Most men get good jobs, build businesses, acquire multiple houses, drive fancy fine cars, wear nice clothes, and build up their reputations.....either consciously or subconsciously to ATTRACT WOMEN so that they can get more coochie. Even the marriage part. Many man have learned that having a woman often makes them MORE ATTRACTIVE to other women. So when they see a way to cut to the chase and just go straight to having sex with the women of their choice, they often take advantage of this since this was their basic goal through out life to begin with. Not forcefully....(though unfortunately some do)....but directly....and often against their better judgement.
  20. frankster Now square the above with the below....for so within as without - and you will have made a great leap in uncovering that which is hidden in plain sight. Luke 17:20-21 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. It doesn't square, because it's talking about 2 different subjects. One deals with the return of Jesus, the other with the coming of God's kingdom. They may be RELATED, but they are not the same....they don't square. Next............ See above....not with Observation. See my above response.....different subjects. Who said he left Earth??? According to the Bible, the Angels said: Acts 1:11 "Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven." Is the "heaven" Jesus went to on Earth? Hinduism is many religions.....that Europeans classify as one. Ok? My statement still stands that it was established by racist Caucasian Aryans to oppress the darker original peoples of that land. I have proven it as such.. How? Show me the proof, please. Were Arabs white? The original Arabs were White. Many still are. Are Arabs White as in Europeans? Not sure what you mean by "as in Europeans". Some Arabs are racially "White" meaning Caucasian.....just like most Europeans are. are albinos white? Yes, physically. Though many are not Caucasian racially. I have heard of such hadith.....please provide them??? Sahih al-Bukhari 63: While we were sitting with the Prophet (ﷺ) in the mosque, a man came riding on a camel. He made his camel kneel down in the mosque, tied its foreleg and then said: “Who amongst you is Muhammad?” At that time the Prophet (ﷺ) was sitting amongst us (his companions) leaning on his arm. We replied, “This white man reclining on his arm.” The man then addressed him, “O Son of `Abdul Muttalib.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “I am here to answer your questions.” I say they re-interpreted it to suits there prejudices. Say what you like. You have that freedom. But the facts will remain, lol.
  21. Lol...the ORIGINAL gangstas.
  22. I don't see a reason why they can't have 2 monetary systems. One for their domestic use and the other for foreign use. Or just conduct foreign business in gold.
  23. frankster How do you know that Jesus Has not returned? Well according to the Bible which is the holy book of Christians, in the book of Matthew you have the conditions laid out for Christ's return: Chapter 16 Verse 27 "For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works." Chapter 24 Verses 30-31 "And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other." Chapter 25 Verses 31-34 "When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:" These things are supposed to take place upon Christ's return yet none of this has taken place on the planet. Maybe for you he hasn't. Well if he has returned for YOU or anybody else, then please show us the PROOF as laid out in the Bible. It's not enough to walk around with a greasy face and a big grin saying "Jesus is here with me". A whole lot of schizophrenics are walking around claiming to be Jesus. If you will make the claim, then we need PROOF that Jesus is back, here on Earth. I know of none of the current Major world Religion coming from white racist origins... Hinduism definitely comes from Caucasians and the religion itself is based upon racism. And despite their origins....the organized religions of Christianity, Islam, and Hinduism were USED by racists to subjugate Black and Brown people around the planet. Any such Idea is patently false. Is it "false" because you have proven it to be such? Or is it "false" because you don't want to believe it? All Religions mentioned above was founded by people of color... Numerous Hadith claim that Prophet Muhammad was a White man. And as I said before, Hinduism was founded by Caucasian Aryans who invaded northern India and mixed their Vedic beliefs in with the traditional beliefs of the local Black people.
  24. Well...... Given the current situation going on, the question should be asked who do the leaders of Israel REALLY have more faith in to protect them: -Yahweh and the archangel Michael? or -The United States and their advanced weapons system?
  25. Exactly. That's what I was thinking about. It especially works if they intend to produce ALL or as many of their own goods and services as they can.
