Mathematician Gladys West dies at 95. She was a hidden figure behind GPS As a young girl in the Jim Crow-era South, Gladys West passed the time counting fenceposts, dreaming of life beyond her family farm south of Richmond. Each day, she walked three miles to a segregated one-room schoolhouse with a leaky roof and a solitary, underpaid teacher. And each way, there and back, she counted the fenceposts along the road, discovering that she had an aptitude for numbers that would help her bridge the distance between poverty and opportunity, between a life working in the fields and a career helping society advance beyond its limits. Dr. West, who died Jan. 17 at 95, used her mathematical skills to become a barrier-breaking researcher for the Navy, mastering a bulky supercomputer known as Stretch while calculating satellite orbits and developing a precise model of the Earth’s surface. Her research laid the groundwork for the Global Positioning System, GPS, a technology that has made getting lost a thing of the past. Thanks in part to Dr. West, anyone with a smartphone — or a receiver-equipped car, airplane or boat — can navigate easily from one place to the next, without having to stop to ask for directions You Can Read The Rest Of The Story Here: Mathematician Gladys West dies at 95. She was a hidden figure behind GPS May our wonderful and smart sister rest in peace and power.

....when you realized that fighting was primarily a young man's sport? I went back to Detroit yesterday to handle some family business and happened to see an old man squaring off with some young cats inside a cellphone store. They were grinning and trying to brush him off but he kept insisting for some beef. One of them turned around and braced himself and when the old dude threw a punch he simply stepped back to avoid it and the old man lost his balance, fell, and knocked over a display case in the store. Needless to say the younger dudes all had a laugh and I'm sure atleast one of them had a cell phone to record the incident as is often the cases today. I don't know what happened after that. I don't know if he stayed down or got back up to act a bigger fool and they ended up stomping him. 30 years ago I may have stayed around to watch, but not now....not today. It wouldn't be worth it and I really didn't have much interest in it as I was too busy trying to get other business taken care of before crossing the state again. But I've seen many similar events when older men THINK they can fight and do what they did back in highschool and end up on their ass.

frankster If by blood you are referencing biology. I mean specific genes that determine phenotype, and thus race. So long as they remain human they are African...All humans are African I remember you saying this before. I didn't believe it then, and I don't believe it now...lol. "Out of Africa" is a THEORY, not a proven scientific fact. They not only trying to label us.....but divide us Who are the "us" you speak of? I ask because, we may already BE divided and perhaps they are simply exploiting that division. Although we all may be called Black, most mixed people don't see themselves the same as me and I don't see them as being the same either. Every body has black (as in African) Ancestry... I don't believe that. I believe Whites came from Black people, but not African Black people. Only when one accepts the idea of Race and Races socially. Which would make sense since we're living in a society that accepts and respects it also. This is a direct result of Racial prejudiced being socialized taught and enforced. True. It is ingrained into the children from not only the home but the schools as well as the media and society in general. When one looks beyond phenotype....it is truth However race is primarily determined BY phenotype. If you look beyond phenotype then there is no need to talk about race. Never said that you did not do so..... I said Your emphasis is on complexion as in Skin Color...which is as the architects of Racism would have it and want it You have been schooled by racist ideology to define people along these lines You don't need to be school by anyone to do this. People naturally categorize themselves by age, sex, and even color is the differences are vast enough. Not sure what you intend for that to mean... Lol.... VGQ is a term Neely Fuller Jr. coined that means Victim's Guaranteed Qualification. He sad that in a system as vast and as traumatic as this System of White supremacy Racism, because nobody has yet to figure out the solution of how to overcome and destroy the system and free themselves.... 1. No opinion or idea is better than the other because none of them have worked to free us from this System yet. So unless they are outrageously false or harmful, all opinions and ideas from the victims of Racism should be respected and allowed to be expressed. 2. Since people deal with stress, trauma, and frustration in different ways....victims of Racism should be allowed to deal with Racism in their own unique way in which ever way helps them cope with it. Then the question is at what point does the squatters become Africans? As I explained to Troy in another thread, I have 2 definitions for the word "African". 1. Anyone born and raised on the continent of Africa 2. Anyone predominately of sub-Saharan African ancestral descent regardless of where they reside on the planet.

Trump is rich and powerful. Looks to me like he has a lot of vitriol and contempt for her. I didn't know becoming rich and powerful causes you to lose respect for women or lose appreciation for their beauty. I guess I won't know until I get rich....lol.

aka Contrarian Few people DO support stereotypes 100%. But the fact that you attached THOSE attributes to them gives us a window to your thinking about them. Here again...... Instead of calling them criminals, you focus on their power and call it sexy. Would you consider BLACK gang members sexy and talk about how much of an aphrodisiac the leaders of the VL or GD in Chicago exude when they call shots? Or is that only reserved for White "gangsters" with power? And WHEN I do so.....please share the quote of me doing or saying this. Because so far, I haven't. Ofcourse not. Lol....how many FBAs reside in WAKANDA???

ProfD It could be the same experience the NDE folks mention. Bottom line is we really don't know. Those who experience it....already know. That is the convenient, er, rationalization folks use for their continued physical existence. Perhaps in some cases. But again, these people were often TOLD this by the Superior Beings they encountered during their NDEs. That's why bilions of people are willing to live in oppression, pain & suffering. They hope & believe life will be better on the other side...freedom. A type of freedom they can enjoy and experience. As opposed to simply not existing anymore, where you simply don't have any awareness that what you were trying to escape has ended.

ProfD Let him have her...for good Oh no, I didn't want her. I'm not even sure how I got into a brief conversation with her. I think she said "excuse me" or something like that to get pass me and I noticed her accent and asked her where she was from but I wasn't attracted to her at all...lol. Nope. I don't compliment eyelashes, hair or nails that makes a woman look like a 🤡 from Universal Soul circus. Well I DO look at a woman's hair and frequently her make-up. Some women look gorgeous without make up so it doesn't matter too much. But I rarely look at a woman's eye lashes or nails in determining her attractiveness. The eye lashes and nails that ARE noticed are when they are ridiculous like those long ass curved nails women used to wear 10 or 15 years ago that makes you wonder how they wiped their ass when they went to the bathroom...lol.

ProfD Would you feel the same way about Nicki if she was from Africa but giving off the same vibration? Absolutely. There are plenty of African women who DO act like her and many of them look even more ridiculous because they come from ethnic groups with much darker skin complexions but still strut around with blonde hair and blue contacts looking silly as fuck...lol. However, there are plenty African women who do wear a ton of make-up & wear weaves & wigs every day. Facts. Infact, I met one in Whole Foods a few days ago from Nigeria. She was dark skinned with her hair dyed up blonde AND had some sort of weave that didn't fit and looked like a racoon tail. She obviously used skin bleaching cream because her face was a different color than her neck. When we finished talking she said she must find her husband, and when I finally saw them to together....just as I thought...he was a White man! Plenty dudes are spending money for their women to get eyelashes, weaves & wigs & manicures/pedicures. Myself and most men I know just give women the money for self maintenance. What exactly they DO to themselves with it is up to them. Whatever they're doing seems to work if they're KEEPING the man who is giving the money to them...lol. Some women will do whatever they think it takes to be more attractive to themselves & other men or women nowadays Which is understandable I'm just curious to know if they are being TOLD by men that those long ass eyelashes are attractive, or are they ASSUMING they are? And if some men are telling them this....WHO are those men? Have YOU ever complimented a woman on her eye lashes?

Again....... It seems as if you actively deny the stereotypes that portray Black men in a good light. Like having a big penis or being good sexually or being very masculine. You readily point out that these traits can be found in men of all ethnic groups. Yet when it comes to White people you have no problem showering THEM with positive stereotypical attributes like assuming Italian men are "stallions" and the blond White women exemplify "beauty".

You're correct. Technically it's not part of the doctrine....which focuses primarily on the existence of Deities; however most atheists declare death as the end of personal existence which includes all forms of consciousness. Many agnostics seem to lean towards that belief as well. Non-existence is the conclusion their pattern of logic takes them to.

I read a report that it wasn't shown in South Africa.

Man.....that is one CUTE little woman. When Trump and the other Republicans pick on her, I have to wonder if there is some sort of deep seated attraction going on. It's hard to believe any straight may would have such vitriol for a woman like that.

Troy Did you take high school biology? Do you know what X and Y chromosomes are? Can you PLEASE produce data showing that GENDER specifically biological or genetic? That's a clear and concise question...lol. I’m gonna take a page out of pioneers playbook and relate an experience I had on my job. I knew a white guy from South Africa. He was explaining to me how his ancestors built a life in South Africa. I didn’t particularly care for the guy. He struck me as low-key racist, but any right, I said hey you’re an African-American. He said no I’m not, almost as if he was insulted. I thought that was kind of funny, but I did not argue the point. This isn't a problem UNLESS a society's thinking and vocabulary is limited. I personally have 2 definitions for the word "African". Not one...but 2. One is racial, and the other is regional. African 1: A person from the continent of Africa African 2: Any person predominately of sub-Saharan African descent regardless of where they reside on the planet By my first definition, that may would absolutely be considered an African American (if he had American citizenship.....lol). By my second definition, no he wouldn't.

ProfD Yep. Free from dealing with the BS that comes with this existence. I suppose it would sound like we're going in circles if I ask if they supposedly unconscious during a coma then how can they "enjoy" their freedom....lol. However I think you understand the point I'm making. Whether that lack of consciousness is due to death or a coma, certainly they aren't EXPERIENCING their restrictions or limitations anymore...even though technically their bodies are even MORE restricted...but from an atheistic point of view they supposedly don't experience ANYTHING. So how would they even KNOW they're free??? As NF Jr. might have said...you would have to ask them and wait for the answer. Don't interrupt ....unless I already KNOW the answer, lol. If a person is too stupid to provide the basics for their own sustenance, they are going to snuggle up to and obey anybody who can. Those people are putting themselves in prison or h8ll on purpose. I wouldn't call it "hell"; however it could be a "prison" of sorts. But some people are INSTITUTIONALIZED and relish being in "greater confinement". Their basic needs are taken care off and they have very few responsibilities. They don't even have to think for themselves, just follow orders. Living on the "outside" was a little too much for them. Like Brutha Baines from Malcolm X told the other prisoners: "If you had to provide three meals a day and support yourselves on the outside you'd slit your own throats. So you let HIM feed you, tell you when to go to bed, tell you when to wake up, and sit when HE says sit." Nah. If the NDE was so great...go back & stay there Lol, it's not always their choice. If you belong in another country, you can't even stay in AMERICA for a long as you like...lol. Why would you be able to break the rules of the Spiritual World and INSIST on staying as long as YOU want? These are HIGHER BEINGS you're dealing with...not other humans. Think about ants in your house trying to tell YOU what part of the house they'd like to occupy and for how long...lol. How convenient. Forced to come back to suffer From what I gather, they come back for 2 reasons: 1. For loved ones....usually people dependent on them like little children...whom they WANT to come back for. 2. They have an unfulfilled mission that they must accomplish. Another excuse. A whole lotta folks cannot wait to get away from their spouse, significant others, kids & family members. ...hey, humanity is on the spectrum. Some folks KILL their children. Others will die FOR their children. That is definitely the party line. Everyone claims it was beautiful. Not one of them said f8ck it and jumped into the grand canyon They don't know what kind of punishment may be waiting for them on the "other side" for doing so. If these Higher Beings told them it wasn't their time and sent them back, it would see they would instinctively know they will be a consequence for trying to end their lives early. That's not to say a person should never consider suicide to escape an extremely unpleasant situation. Everybody's tolerance levels are different. But why take unnecessary chances?

The thing about it is..... Niggaz live all over Georgia, not just the ATL. That's just the biggest CONCENTRATION of Black people but I've been around Georgia enough to know there's a sizable Black population in every region of that state. Down in Albany, and especially in Savanna along the coast. A lot of the Black population are transplants and aren't inclined to be politically active in the state. They come from California, New York, the Midwest....and don't care about the local politics because they don't see Georgia as their natural born home. PROFESSOR GRIFF lives in Georgia....lol. How the hell you gonna have a racist Republican governor in the same state Professor Griff lives????

Well, if it's like THAT where you live then uhhhh, brace yourself because I'm....

Stacey Abrams should be governor of Georgia RIGHT NOW. The party should have gotten behind her and she should have fought tooth and nail for that office. Maybe she'll run again, who knows??? SHE should be the one demanding investigations into voter fraud.....of the Republican districts. I'm definitely not a Republican but this is one of the reasons I couldn't be a Democrat official. They don't believe in fighting dirty. They have adopted that Michelle Obama: "When they go low we go high" bullshit....and end up getting tripped.

ProfD I need proof. Based on MY definition of Magic....which I think is one of the better definitions....the proof is self evident. Again, Magic is high science that has yet to be accepted by Western or contemporary scientific institutions. Once a method or ritual is proven and put down into a formula...it's no longer "Magic" but science. Your computer and the internet would be Magic for those who know nothing of the internet. It would be like a crystal ball that one could peer into for all types of information. I totally understand where you're coming from though. Either something IS or it's NOT. Word salads and trying to pour syrup on shit don't turn them into pancakes....lol. Medicine can be proven to be effective not to mention the trials & hurdles it has to go through before we can use it. The covid vaccine has been accepted as medicine although it wasn't proven to work. Then you have the placebos. These are sugar or salt pills that scientists and doctors KNOW are inert and don't work in and of themselves. What works is the MIND or BODY and those pills influence the mind. Whenever magic make life a paradise on Earth for ALL Black people; free from oppression, pain & suffering, maybe I'll feel differently about it.😁😎 Lol.... There are some Black people who don't need to be on that type of Earth. They'd try to fuck it up like they fucked up their lives and environment before. They are trouble makers. Tupac wondered if Heaven had a ghetto. If it did...would it still be considered "Heaven"?

Lol....so you're STILL not going to tell me what you do for a living, huh? You're doing SOMETHING to keep that mind of yours occupied, lol.

ProfD Still free...for good. Is a person in a coma, free? If happiness & comfort is dependent on others, I can see how it would be prioritized over freedom. Correct. If a person is of limited intelligence (actually everybody's intelligence is "limited" to a certain degree) and can't provide happiness and comfort for themselves or even provide a basic living for themselves....then what good is THEIR freedom? For example, men & women will languish in bad relationships that are prison-like because they are comfortable & too lazy to get out of it Facts. Many would rather put up with abuse than be alone. Others are afraid of the thought of being independent and having to provide for themselves, so they tolerate abuse. Many young bruthaz are shacking up with women they don't like but these women are providing shelter and support for them. The people that have had NDE (Near Death Experience) always claim it is so peaceful & beautiful they didn't want to come back to this existence. Yet, none of them ever seemed to be in a rush to die.🤣 Actually, some of them HAVE been what one would consider "suicidal" for a time period after their NDE. They had mild suicidal ideation where they would consider it because they were longing to go back to that state of existence. But they realized that they were eventually going to go back their anyway they decided not to ruin it by ending their mission on this life early. Many of those who have NDEs talk about being FORCED to return because they had a time period that must spend in this life. It wasn't their "time" to leave this Reality yet. Others are given a choice and choose to stay to help out family and raise their kids. Nearly all of them agree 100% and whole heartedly that what they experienced was not a dream or fantasy but even MORE real than this Reality.

Make sure your passport is on your person or in a secured location before they seize that too. Georgia is supposed to be having a gubernatorial race in November so hopefully yall will get a Democrat Governor who will put an end to those type of shenanigans or atleast provide enough pushback to not make it worth the effort. Georgia and Atlanta is the Black economic capital of the United States. There is no reason that state should be governed by redneck conservatives.

They can have eachother as far as I'm concerned. Although I don't find her ugly, I think Nicki is freakishly weird and fake. I work around women fresh out of the continent of Africa as dark as Trump's navy blue suit who are 10 times more attractive than she is and exude far more sensuality and femininity naturally. They aren't dressed up like wanna be high class call-girls with fur coats and shit, rolling their eyes and flinging their hair all over the place. For years and years when I saw women like her and Lil Kim dressing and acting like that on television and real life and wonder why are they acting that way? Who told them that was sexy? Like those long ass eye lashes (cum catchers.....lol); who told them THAT shit was attractive? I don't know any bruthaz who told me they found women like that sexy or attractive or ideal. Then all of a sudden I realized.....they weren't doing it for us. Sistaz who dressed and acted like that were often trying to attract NON-BLACK men. Then it made sense. They're trying to give NON-BLACK men what they think they like.

I don't think you or many people realize how they sound when they say things like this. It's a window to the subconscious of how so many of our people think. Calling Italian men "stallions" as if they are the epitome of masculinity. And calling blonde White women "beautiful" as if THEY are the epitome of femininity and beauty. Most Italian men....especially over 30...tend to be short, fat, and hairy. Most blonde White women tend to have the same physical features that other White women have except for maybe a larger percentage of them have blue or green eyes. But these are stereotypes that are pushed in society. Many of our people have these images and beliefs etched in their minds whether they express them or not and it plays out in their behavior and social interactions with eachother. There is no doubt that AfroAmerican male and female relationships are often strained in this society because subconsciously many of our people don't like themselves or eachother and are only together RELUCTANTLY. She'd rather be with an "Italian stallion" than be with that dark skinned kinky haired brutha she's hanging out with. He'd rather be with a "beautiful blonde" than married to that dark skinned sista with the kitchen naps he sees laying over on the couch. People TOLERATING eachother but secretly desiring to be with people they THINK are more attractive/desirable.
