I've put bread, oil, hot dogs, and cups of water in microwaves for YEARS with no negative effects. .....so far atleast.

Which is more powerful belief, power or knowledge? The answer lays within the question ITSELF. POWER is obviously more "powerful" than belief or knowledge. What is more powerful than power ITSELF? frankster Belief is most likely more powerful than Knowledge.... I feel that KNOWLEDGE is more powerful than mere BELIEF. Why? Let's say a police officer with his training and KNOWLEDGE of his gun and how to use it is challenged by a schizophrenic who BELIEVES he's a superhero and BELIEVES that he's bullet proof. Who do YOU think is going to win; the one with the KNOWLEDGE or the one with mere BELIEF?

The first step is to weed out the UNDESIREABLE niggas. Black folks who are stupid, unapologetically foolish, excessively violent, drug addicted, etc..... When I say weed them out, I mean leave them alone. Don't include them in our circles. Start with a group of Black folks of atleast AVERAGE intelligence with atleast an AVERAGE sense of morality and ethics. And from there, you can pretty much work any decent policy you'd like to see implemented. But keep the fools and thugs away.....they'll mess you up going and coming. "We doooown We dooooown We doooown fa' something new!!! I need some new RIMS. I need some new Nikes My girl needs some new extensions and highlights. I can do that newness shit all day long! Wooof wooof wooof!"

I work in a factory where the demographics are pretty much evenly divided between Black folks, Latinos, and non-Latino Whites. A few months after working in there I noticed that the machines seemed to "like" some factory workers more than others...lol. One guy gets on a machine to run it and it breaks down constantly, but another guy gets on it and it runs smoothly his entire shift. Being a Black man who's OBSERVANT and is constantly on the look out for the wiles of the racists.....I also noticed that the machines seem to break down on Black workers more, especially the men. I brought this up to a few of my Black co-workers and wondered out loud if somebody back in another location were controlling these machines we run and determining how well they operate. After all, they DO have computers on them. As some of you may have guessed, they laughed at the idea or gave me that "this nigga'z crazy" look. Well, a few months ago it was confirmed by several engineers at that factory that the engineers DO have offices in the back and can monitor the machines we work on. Hmmmmmmm........... And a couple months after THAT...it was finally confirmed by several engineers that they can MANIPULATE SOME MACHINES from their offices, stop them, maker certain sections of the machine run while stopping others, etc...all through their computers at their desks!!! Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm................... I mentioned THIS to some of my Black co-workers.....and they stood there looking crazy and were silent for a while, but then started asking me, "Well....even if they CAN control the machines from the offices that don't mean they izzzzz! Why would somebody waste time trying to make machines act crazy and break down on Black folks???? Where you be gettin' this shit at?????" But I drilled on them to forget about the WHY....the question was CAN THEY? ......and clearly THEY COULD. They admitted they could! Negroes need to stop asking WHY White folks do what they do. That's like asking WHY would White folks put Crack or AIDS in Black communities. Niggaz all on CNN crying with snot running out of their nose asking "Whyyyyyyy" Grown as men with nappy grey chins asking young White men WHY do they hate them so much......STOP IT FOOL. The question to ask isn't WHY but CAN THEY. CAN they do this or that.....because if they CAN....you should assume they ARE and be concerned! But that's not the reason I'm posting this NOW. Why am I posting this NOW????? Because today an engineer was FIRED....forced to clean out his office! Why? Because apparently he was involved with some sort of love triangle. One of the men on the machines was banging his girlfriend so he started INTENTIONALLY fucking with the man's machine MAKING IT STOP AND CAUSING IT TO PERFORM POORLY!!! These were two White men BUT it proved my suspicion that the people in some back offices somewhere CAN manipulate the machines and make them run smoothly for some people and poorly for others. Don't ask me what these silly ass dis-believing niggaz said to me when they heard about this -BECAUSE THEY TOLD ME ABOUT THIS!!!! I didn't hear about it until they came running up to me grinning and telling me how "right" I was and asking me how did I know and this and that and the other.....LMBAO!!! Man it feels good to be an adherent to the teachings of the Honorable Neely Fuller Jr!!!! It feels GOOD GOOD GOOD!!!!

Now you got a group of FBA fanatics who are running around here saying our ancestors DIDN'T come from Africa but were already here....lol.

frankster Tell me which story you find impossible to be vetted?? I don't find anything in this world "impossible". Improbable....often...but not impossible. Again, can you tell me some stories of the Bible that YOU have vetted as absolutely true? In Animism The Divine exists in the All things animate and inanimate, in words and places......and all things exist in the Divine - Therefore the Dive is the All Just as we are a part of Nature, we exist in Nature and Nature is in us...We are Made of Nature First of all, existing IN something and having it exist IN you isn't necessarily the same as BEING that same something. A person who's drowning can exist IN water and have that same water exist in THEM (in their lungs). That doesn't mean THEY are the water or lake they're drowning in. Furthermore..... Just because Nature exists and we exist and our bodies are part of it...doesn't in any way shape or form cancel out the high probability that a Superior BEING could have and like did create BOTH (us and nature). Nice try though.....lol. I do not accept the idea that a Being created Nature Oh, well that's your right. Not much I can do with that....lol. Beings are in Existence.....Existence is Nature - Nature is the sum total of all forms Realities. Well...those are YOUR beliefs. I believe that EXISTENCE includes the sum total of all Realities....but Nature isn't. Nature is PART of Existence but not the only part. This Being is the First......Implies that it is Of a Kind(specie)....of which they are more Not necessarily. Something or someone can be the first and ONLY. It seems this Being is subject to Existence....Existence denotes Objectivity - All Objects exist in Time and Space. I thought you said "time didn't exist"...lol. But yes, The SUPREME BEING Exists. Objects in Time and Space indicates.....Finiteness - Limitations. Not necessarily. Says who? From what did this being Create Existence? That's the beauty of Creation...you don't have to create "from" anything. Unlike MAKING which often requires that you put together something from material already in existence....when you Create you just bring it into existence from NON-existence. in Existence means it is a part Of existence Ok... Which.... isn't it already In Existence) ? Well just a moment! Not all that exists was always already in Existence. The SUPREME BEING has always Exist....however what The SUPREME BEING Created didn't always Exist but was brought INTO Existence. How do you define Power? Effectiveness. This Being belongs to Hierarchy Of Beings of which this Being is the Supreme. That's one way of putting it. ....Because this Being is The Most Powerful Correct

frankster True...That's how we find TRuth Well... I'll agree that that's how we can find INFORMATION (not necessarily the truth) to support our assertions. True ....wouldn't have it anyother way. Please show the studies that support your Ideas so we can peruse them Scientists Say That Some Of Our Dreams May Be Glimpses Into Parallel Universes https://www.speakingtree.in/blog/scientists-say-that-some-of-our-dreams-may-be-glimpses-into-parallel-universes New Theory Claims We Travel To Parallel Universes When We Dream https://awarenessact.com/new-theory-claims-we-travel-to-parallel-universes-when-we-dream/ Yes dreams consist of Memories.... When you step into parallel Universe and Timelines - you are no longer in the State of Dreaming. Lol...when you're sleep, it's usually the act of dreaming that GETS you there and KEEPS you there. That's like saying when I'm in my car and drive to Montana...once I enter the state, I'm no longer driving...lol. It Supports Buddha's assertion...."With our thoughts we create the World" or "We are what we Think, All that we are, arises from our thoughts" That's not true. Our thoughts can INFLUENCE the world, but they don't necessarily CREATE the Reality we are in right now. This is more New Age philosophy gotten from White folks "alleged" to have come from Buddha. If you were to talk to Buddha himself....he probably wouldn't know anything about that assertion attributed to him....lol. As I said, be careful adopting their unstable and constantly changing theories and philosophies. The Act of being Alive or the Risk of Living is way different from an Calculated Financial Investment taken by the Rich. And no one has argued any differently..... This Risk of Living is not a choice one can take or not take....You have no choice in the matter Every living thing takes that risk...Not only the Rich And? Thanks for re-iterating MY point that you orginally disagreed with -that the rich DO take risks. If you pretend to see "just being alive" the same as making a "calculated financial decision" - Then you are dishonest Again, no one made that argument. Thank You You're welcomed On that we will have to disagree. I know that you know you are defending non-sense. Lol...I suppose it's "non-sense" to those who's senses can't comprehend it. Most times it sits in the seat but sometimes the seat is my sauna especially when i wanted one. So you had a body that sat in a car and didn't pass through....yet you claim the dream wasn't physical? Ok...lol. The eyes of your body in THIS Reality are closed....yet you SEE how to drive and see the car and where you're going. You HEAR the environment and conversation you're having although the ears of your body in THIS REality is limited to the sounds in your bedroom. Oh...but you call all of this "memory". Close your eyes right now and I guarantee that the "sights" and "sounds" you get from any memory won't come close to the vividness that you experience in the average dream.

And best believe for every ONE White person who exposes themselves as White and decides to drop a post, there's atleast 5 others LURKING behind the scenes just monitoring the conversations. Troy asked a question months ago why do so many people decide to register without posting. The answer is simple for some people. Registering gives them more access to posts and personal information. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said that the White man is the "Universal Snooper". He loves to monitor what people of color are talking about and thinking not just here but abroad all over the world. He'll keep records on it for decades. Pass them down from one devil to the next. He doesn't want to be caught off guard by what the "niggers" are planning.

Well, the thing about the Arabs is that they are CULTURALLY united. The religion of Islam unites most Arabs and much of their culture has been historically built around this. Sure they fight and engage in wars with eachother from time to time like they're doing right now between Saudi Arabia and Yemen, but for the most part they agree on the BASICS like male/female relations, morals, how one should conduct oneself in public, etc... This lessens conflict and gives them a framework in which to operate from when they DO get wealth in their hands. The same can be said for many individual African ethnic groups like the Ibo of Nigeria. AfroAmericans on the other hand have been so fractured and divided....especially these past 50 years. Divided by religion, gender, class, opinions about Civil Rights, divided by regions of the nation, etc.... This division has a negative effect on us uniting long enough and strong enough to even present a viable argument and demand for Reparations, not to mention how they'll PROPERLY be used once received.

ProfD You know what I've found is better than asking for, demanding, or even TAKING the whole cake???? Making and baking OUR OWN cakes!!!! This is one of the things I admire about Marcus Garvey and Elijah Muhammad. These two great men taught AfroAmericans how to DO FOR SELF instead of begging and relying on White folks to be generous or even fair. Elijah declared that the White man was the DEVIL...therefor couldn't be trusted to be fair ANY damn way. Like you said...."give" you something with one hand while TAKING something from you with the other damn hand! But when you're making your own products and delivering your own services....the amount and costs are under your control. Now ofcourse.....as long as you're living UNDER Caucasian rule there's going to be certain limits and set backs...but we can still do far better attempting to do things for ourselves than relying on them and their "fairness".

Lol...it might take a Miracle to come up with a solid workable AGENDA we can rally around.....lol. Besides Reparations payments, what else do MOST AfroAmericans (and not all of us at that!) actually agree with eachother over?

ProfD I will say that AfroAmericans got quite a bit.....not enough obviously....but quite a bit from Franklin D. Roosevelt. It wasn't SPECIFICALLY for AfroAmericans obviously, but hell... If someone is going around passing out millions of dollars to EVERYBODY....do you want them to stop unless they ONLY give it to Black folks? But since Roosevelt, the others haven't done too much yet. But as you said, where's the agenda? As the book says, you HAVE not because you ASK not. And Frederick Douglass said power concedes NOTHING without a DEMAND. Black folks have begged.....sho' nuff. But when was the last time we DEMANDED anything from this government? I'm beginning to realize that the MAIN reason AfroAmericans in this nation are in the condition so many of us find ourselves in is because of OUR behavior and the lack there of. I can't get angry at the Asian or Arab if they are more united and show more good sense in pushing THEIR agenda to get what they want.

Brothers and sisters in the nation would insist that Mr. Muhammad had DIVINE "help" in doing so...lol. I've maintained that in order to unite Black people as a whole, you'd need a MIRACLE. Miracles do happen. They happen all the time. However my point is....that's what it would take. As humans we have very little if any control over what The Divine does. But what we CAN do is unite with LIKE MINDED individuals for a common agenda.

I found much of the video funny and entertaining, but what I did find a bit concerning was how that one African sista saw Americans as "White people" instead of realizing that Black folks are Americans too.

Lol....oh you'd be SURPRISED at what our sista may do if she ever were to wind up in that seat! Remember, she built a school for girls over in Africa. Worse case scenario, she simply wouldn't be any worse than the White men (and Mixed one) we has in officer before her. She'd just continue the same policies. So essentially her being in couldn't hurt. At mediocre or even better case scenario, she'd so SOMETHING to help our community more than her predecessors. It wouldn't be perfect obviously. And yeah...the White women and LGBT may gain more from her Presidency than the Black masses. However if we didn't focus on what THEY were getting or weren't getting and focused strictly on what WE would get.....you'd have to admit we'd probably get more with her being in there than any White man.

This prominent South African brother makes it CRYSTAL CLEAR how he feels about White people coming to Africa trying to tell them that their values should be and trying to influence them. Note how he makes the point that I've been making for years, how they never go to the Arabs and try to force the LBGT Agena on them! I also likes how he says morality isn't determined by popular consensus! I'm going to have to use that one in an an argument....lol. It doesn't matter how many people "agree with" or "support" something. Either it IS RIGHT or it IS WRONG. Popularity or contemporary feelings about a subject doesn't change this.

Lol...is that a fact?

ProfD Black men have to get on code in order to undo the gender role reversal especially among AfroAmericans. Well.... Expecting Black men collectively to get on Code is like expecting prisoners to unite, overpower the COs and take over the institution. It can happen, but not very likely. The most viable and probably thing that will happen is that the Black men WITH GOOD SENSE will get together and organize for a new paradigm and leave the dead weight behind to bury eachother. No other culture has this issue with their to the same degree. Because....like you said....they have CULTURE. Behaviors that are EXPECTED from both the men and the women. With most AfroAmerican men or women, you're not sure WHAT to expect...lol. We don't see or hear any other group of women claiming or having to be the mother & father, breadwinner or boss b8tches. Facts. richardmurray the only issue I raised is a question, is the severity in which black people communicate our troubles fair or unfair based on the activities of others? I used two cases, one of white europeans, concerning violence of men to women in general, side one of white asians , violence of men to women or children sexually, to display how another community has a publicly stated problem that can be deemed worse than the black community. ???? I don't understand the question brother. Could you clarify it a little?

Ok, I'll try to dig up more info on what happened to our brother. Sad situation down there in Mississippi.

If only we had AfroAmerican leaders today who were as intelligent, articulate, and bold.....getting the media attention that he got in those days. I think some of it was that the White media was caught off guard by his intelligence and charm. They under estimated the power that he had influencing the masses AND they were more concerned about using his charisma for their ratings. Today, much of White media could care less about ratings and how charming and intellectual a Black leader is....they will conspire to keep him OFF the air and OUT of the public spotlight if they feel he's a threat to their power. This is one of the reasons you see Donald Trump on television all day long but haven't seen speech by Minister Farrakhan or Jesse Jackson live on television since the 1990s.

frankster I Find them True as in Effective Beneficial and Rewarding. I'm not sure how effective I'll be in getting the type of answer I'm looking for out of this, lol. I'm asking for some examples of events that took place in the Bible that YOU have vetted yourself and confirmed as being true. No. I see what you are referring to as the Supreme Being (Thee Creator) as Nature. Nature is Creation.... I see... Well I personally see Nature as PART of Creation and Creation as SEPARATE from the BEING Who Created It. However you've made your position on the matter crystal clear so I guess we'll just disagree on this point and move on Animism is almost Universal in most if not all African Cultures Religions and Spiritual Beliefs. While the above is true, this is NOT what you said. You suggested that in ancient Africans beliefs, God was synonymous with the "ALL". To MY knowledge....Animism does NOT equate God with the ALL. To MY knowledge and understanding....Animism says that there is a Divine Spirit that exists in all living things. Quite different. Again, I don't know of many (or any as I think about it right now) African philosophy that says God is "all things". I know some AFRICAN AMERICANS who believe that....but no continental Africans. Yes that is the Meaning of the "words".... If we are talking "Beings" like unto the Anunnaki Then it is a "Title".... Beings use Available Forces/Energies in Accordance to the Laws of Nature limited to their Understanding of Nature. It becomes Evident to me That all Beings are subject To Nature. How can the BEING Who CREATED Nature be "subject" to it? That's similar to saying a person who BUILT a house is inferior and subject to the house itself. Or that a person who made a law and has the power to enforce it or abrogate it...is subject to it and inferior to it. ..Hence a Individual Being can not be Highest or Greatest. - except among fellow Beings A Being can be the highest in their CATEGORY. Best/highest HUMAN being. Best/highest Volcano Best/highest School in the country But when we're talking about The SUPREME BEING, you're talking about the Best and Highest of all Beings in Existence. Is this Being akin to the Anunnaki? No. This BEING is before the Anunnaki and most likely Created the Anunnaki. Then explain your conceptualizations of this BEING. My explanation is simple. The SUPREME BEING is the First Being in Existence and started the process of Creating the rest of Existence. The SUPREME BEING is also the most Powerful Being in Existence. I think you're looking for me to provide a specific name, or title, or identity to this SUPREME BEING. I'm not sure that is necessary because the concept is quite simple. Think of all of the Beings that exist. Some are Superior others are inferior. Now when you think of the Superior and Powerful Beings imagine THEE most Powerful of Them. THEE most Powerful of all Beings would have to be The SUPREME BEING. No need to overthink this concept. No Being in Existence that is Higher or more Powerful means This BEING is Supreme.

frankster No Laboratory is needed beyond your knowledge and the Internet. Most of the research has been done already and some of which is available on the Net. Lol...research on the internet can go in ANY direction, and you know that. There is research that supports your assertion that dreams are basically bits and pieces of memory, and there is research that DEBUNKS it and claims otherwise. Personally, I take the approach that Dreams often consist of BOTH memories as well as glimpses into parallel Universes and timelines. It depends on the Dream itself which varies. It maybe if you are Convinced of it. Matthew 21:21 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive I don't understand this response. How does it prove or even address your assertion that WE as humans create time? I think we can MEASURE time and categorize it, but I don't believe we "create" it. In this article, the author discusses the African view of space-time called “Hantu.” Furthermore, he clarifies the Africans’ understanding of consciousness, which is linked to their worldview, particularly the idea of space and time. This is important because Africans claim that there is an entity called consciousness that is not influenced by space and time and exists in living and non-living beings and in a space less and timeless dimension..... From the discussed definitions of time, Africans understand that contrary to the Western view, that time is an ephemeral concept that exists only in the observer's mind. Time is a mental construct and is derived from our daily activities, and it is something that is inseparably connected to events, activities, daily chores, and objects, which helps us carry out our duties and make sense of the world around us. So the article you provided DISPROVES your point. You claimed that African philosophy asserts that time DOES NOT exist, and yet the article you provided not only admits the existence of time but actually puts it in context. Similar to your claim that the rich don't take risks....only to finally admit that they do...thanks for once again proving MY points...lol. Ok I have explain this already but I will share another view Are they related and share commonness (bleed over or into each other) - Yes.....They all share YOU. In One you are Unconscious and In the Other you are Conscious I think you may be "over thinking" this. There are multiple Realities and you tap into them in different ways. Some by Dreaming, some by imagining, others by "day dreaming", others by having visions and trances. again....this is becoming repetitious. Yes they are Real hence they are called Realities. They are not physical. It will continue to be repetitious as long as you doggedly hold on to your limited views...lol. They ARE real and they ARE physical. Just as physical as in THIS Reality. Have you ever had a Dream where you ate something or drove in a car? Did the food you ate pass through your mouth and come out of the other side...or did it go down and into your stomach as in waking life? Did your butt go through the seat and the car and down through the road.....or did your butt sit in the seat and you were able to use your hands to drive the steering wheel the same as in waking life? If the dream wasn't physical, how were you able to manipulate and maneuver physical objects? Yes we often can't Recall all of what is in our Memory....nor are we Aware of all that we Know True. However there is an feeling that is the OPPOSITE of deja vu that you get when you are introduced to something or someone for the first time. You get that in waking life as well as Dreams when you are introduced to things or people you never met before. If they were suppressed memories, you likely wouldn't get the same feeling.

Before 1990 or so, I believe MOST AfroAmericans saw Africa as sort of one big COUNTRY...not so much a continent with thousands of different tribes/ethnic groups and many races in it. So I'm guessing most AfroAmericans didn't have the knowledge of Africa to tell their children which groups their lineage were mixed with.

Thanks for the old-time flick! I love seeing those old black-n-white films and photographs of how our people lived back in those days. The older I get, the more respect I have for them and the more enjoyment I seem to get from them. I guess because I gain more knowledge and experience to put what I'm watching in proper context and perspective so it makes me appreciate it more. I remember as a kid they used to feature VERY old Black movies at night on one particular television channel. I'm talking movies done in the 1920s and 1930s featuring only AfroAmericans! I believe the above movie was one of them but there was another that I won't forget but don't know the name of it, and this movie actually featured NUDITY! It was an old black-n-white flick that looked like it was done either in the 20s or early 30s about a man who was cheating on his wife and the wife caught the mistress and beat her up and stripped her of her clothes leaving her naked on the floor. Her bare breasts were actually exposed! I was surprised they even allowed that on public television at that time, let alone in a movie. Been trying to find the name of that movie and the movie itself for YEARS.

Damn......
