  1. 🤨 We're getting closer............. Suspect In MLK Home Arson Posted About ‘Cult’ Leader (yahoo.com) It won't be long before we find out she was accusing King of something she got off the internet.
  2. frankster I make no charges. ...yet you make accusations, lol. His behavior is not recommended by Scripture....False teachers shall and do lead many astray - con man. While his behavior may not be recommended by scripture, it is CAUSED by scripture because his natural desires are in conflict with what he "believes" to be right according to those scriptures. It sets up COGNATIVE DISSONANCE in his head. We Living in the USA in which Corruption Collusion and exploitation is common place. Not that you're wrong, but let me ask you..... Do you think there is LESS corruption in most other nations? And I maintain it is a fail state....Any state that cannot support itself but need the help of others to survive is a failed State. Perhaps if that support is taken away...it WILL fail. But as long as it maintains that support, but defacto it has NOT failed. You can't be fallen and supported at the same time, that's a contradiction. They are many Organizations and Institutions in the USA that Have a racist Agenda....Afterall Racism was legal in The USA for most of its existence. The good thing about the USA is that there are also many organizations and institutions here that fight AGAINST racism. So we have choices. The Racism of today is fairly recent started in the 1500's That's a no-brainer. Saying the racism of today is recent is like saying the people of today are recent. However racism itself is THOUSANDS of years old. Look no further than ancient India when the Caucasians Aryans invaded the Indus Valley region and slaughtered and oppressed the Black Dravidians and set up a Varna (caste) system based on color and race. His Life is an Example....The man Jesus has shown they WAY for us to live. How can a man who allegedly DIED for humanity be an example of how to live? Caucasians really did a number on our people when they forced and convinced so many of them to accept his obviously illogical religions. That Example has saved Many who choose to follow in deeds his words and lifestyle . Since they follow his alleged example, does that mean most followers of Jesus also die at 33 or before they're 40? We are One human Family The Egyptians Ethiopians and Indians and Chinese have there ancient works. We're all human, not sure about all being from the same family. cool if you say so. Those are the facts. Ideology yes......Dogma and Theology no. You must study the SCRIPTURES in order to be considered a "theologian". Dogma and ideology are very similar. Both rely on writings = scripts Muslims, Buddhists and Hindus believe in the Bible and Jesus Christ are they Christians? Lol...what Buddhists and Hindus have YOU talked to who "believe in" Jesus? Fine.....I never Once said I was a Christian. You don't have to. Your scripture quoting says it all. You feel Judged. ....and occasionally insulted, lol. No...I have not read them all in Entirety... but I have read parts of many enough to know that most have some things in common. Yeah, most of them were written by the hand of OTHER HUMAN BEINGS....that's what they have "in common". Which means they are likely prone to be in error and outright fabricated. What The SUPRREME BEING wants us to know can be delivered to us DIRECTLY without middle men. The Bible was written by Black African and sourced from Africa King James wasn't Black. Guttenberg wasn't Black. The Greeks who wrote the New Testament weren't Black. What are you talking about????? Yes... Religion is based on scripture but not Scripture Oh my....lol. I think I know what you mean by this, but could you please extrapolate? There is no action without reaction Correct. But the reaction doesn't always equate to the action. Scriptures are man made tools to set Man free. The scriptures that the first 5 books of the Bible YOU read were made to set the CAUCASIANS FREE....from a life of savagery while they were confined in the caves of the Caucasus mountains. As I said before, those scriptures WERE NOT meant for us.
  3. frankster Good for you.. It was good for MOST of them too...lol. I had close relationships with a few. Mutual consent doesn't mean it is not Exploitive and corrupting. True. But if it IS consensual, then other factors must be considered in order to make those charges. He is full of shit..... Why blame Scripture for his behavior. Because his belief IN and/or promotion OF those scriptures (whether he really believes in them or not) is the MOTIVE FOR his vile behavior. It promotes an atmosphere of shame and hypocrisy in which a person has to hide their true feelings and desires and pretend to be something they aren't. AfroAmericans...for the most part...can't live by the scriptures of the Bible NOR were they meant for us anyway. Knowledge and Wisdom is not the same. I know. Wisdom is the proper understanding and application of knowledge. You living in it....what further evidence is needed. How so? Explain..... Sure...if that is your desire I wouldn't necessarily call it a "desire" but I don't see the need to keep going in circles. You said that Israel was a "failed state" and I showed you that it's not. Instead of accepting this, you start producing "reasons" for why it's not instead of focusing on the fact that it IS NOT. Yes.... in that type of Progress - We are carrying forward the goals of white supremacy at the cost of The Black and or African. The Black or African FAILING in life and as a community is one of the "goals" of White "supremacy". If we are successful through building a progressive community and living progressive successful lives...that COUNTERS their aims and objectives. Using the United States to help ourselves HELPS US. ...forget about the racists. Yet you are willing to use the US Military The very Arm of Racism to secure Black and African Progress The U.S. Military is NOT the "very arm" of racism. Racism existed long before the U.S. military or the U.S. itself did. Remember I talked about the Romans in the other thread and how they had their own military. Like most things in this society, it can be USED by the racists to achieve their aims and goals. Have you communicated with all living things to know that they do not have a conscience? No. Nor have I made the sweeping claim that they don't...like you made the sweeping claim that they did. I said according to science NOT ALL of them have a conscience. That which Jesus Christ of Scriptures Represent is our Saving Grace. What evidence do you have that the Jesus of scripture HAS saved you or others? Why have so many who believe in him dead, in jail, or in trouble? The Scripture is the learned Wisdom of Our Ancestors. But the scriptures you quote from didn't come from "our Ancestors", they came from the ancestors of the Caucasians. Any form of Payment for sex. That's not the LEGAL definition. But I understand what you mean. The manner in which you procured sex is Abusive and Negative...to all involve That's not true, that's you OPINION We both got what we wanted and what was promised from the exchange. That was a success on both sides. Your own words..Sounds to me like she is in need. I can't argue with what something "sounds like" to you....lol. But again, her NEEDS weren't threatened. She could eat, had a home, had clothes, and apparently had decent health...or atleast didn't say anything was wrong with her. She had what she NEEDED. She WANTED help with certain things, and got the help she wanted. I have said or implied no such thing.... You imply it when you suggest that a person shouldn't use sex to get what they want or need. You imply that having sex is more sinful or wrong than accomplishing a particular goal. Not When Sex is involved More OPINION...not fact. Sex is no different and you can't prove it. People usually need a resume so as to get a job to feed themselves and those near and dear to them. True. But you're jumping from one conclusion to the next to the next to support your assumption. All you know of the situation is that she wanted help with a resume....for what other purposes, you are ignorant of. I Quote Scriptures not dogma, theology or ideology nor do I subscribe to Western traditionalist views of Christianity. Scripture is a FORM of dogma, theology, and ideology. And if you believe in Jesus Christ and the Bible, you ARE a Christian whether you accept the term or not. According to my understanding it is Fornication if One party is Married Lol...your understanding is wrong. Fornication is the Christian term for sex between unmarried people. Serial Cohabitation can tend toward moral decay. Do you have any evidence of this? Also, what IS "moral decay"? Show me proof of one's morals "decaying" because of serial cohabitation. I Do not Judge You HAVE judged through out this thread. All the Scriptures of the World....especially Africa 1. So you've read "all" the scriptures of the world? 2. That may be part of the problem, you've read and believe in TOO MANY scriptures because some of them contradict eachother. The scriptures of the Bible weren't even meant for us as Africans. Scripture is not Religious....You confuse the two Religion is partially BASED on scripture. In Western theology, no scripture = no religion. That is not the fault of Conscience but Prejudice and Discrimination....or how clearly we Discern and Obey Conscience How do you obey something you don't have let alone have access to? Prostitution is Abusive Celibacy is Self abusive... if the body burns with the want for sexual passions. So, since you consider both abusive...would you make both illegal? What you call "liberally and freely" is a euphemism for being ensnared in the flesh selfishness greed gluttony and there attendant evils of obsessive compulsive and addictive behaviors usually brought on by search for or the seeking of pleasure for pleasure sake OR looking at things from a logical and open-minded point of view instead of through the lense of indoctrination. White people MADE UP a lot of this religious garbage that much of the people of color around the world follow...and thus having made it up, they KNOW BETTER than to believe in it...lol. That's one of the reasons you see so many rich and powerful White folks who arrogantly break the laws of the Bible and of their so-called religions without the fear of consequences. They know the truth about them and their origins. They know that for the most part, their religions (including their scriptures) are just man-made TOOLS used to control the masses.
  4. Based on my observations, most Black folks.....especially in the recent past....went to Church for entertainment and socialization. It was the center of the AfroAmerican community, especially down South. You went there to sing, dance, find a mate, get psychological counselling, etc.... I didn't care too much for the environment, so when I got old enough I stopped going and started reading the Bible deeply on my own.
  5. frankster Then you are lost in the Western ideology.....it is not about the man - but the Message and the Lessons What is the lessons? According to the Bible, Jesus was allowed to be arrested and killed by the Roman government. Could one of the lessons they were trying to send all of the people of color they preached the Bible to was to not challenge White authority or you'll end up arrested and killed? Could another lesson they may be trying to convey is that they want you to believe that not even "the Christ" could withstand the power of Roman/White authority? Death is not want you and I think it is....To them it is something else. I know what I think Death is....not sure what you or they do. To the Wise true power reside in the ability to Control and Govern Oneself not Others...Matthew 16:26 This sounds like a scripture to keep a person content with having NO power or control over anyone else except for themselves. Good teachings...for a slave....but not for one who would like to achieve power. anything that happen in the proverbial garden of eden or genesis is the beginning from a western standpoint I agree. The proverbial "garden of eden" is one of the starting points of Caucasian history. Western history merely a branch of that. And equally true many were cured of those diseases without medicine or knowledge of the cure. True. The question is, what percentage? And also, a good question would be are MORE people being cured today from modern Western medicines or were MORE being cured in the past from ancient African and Native American medicines? do you know the cause of cancer...? I'm not a high medical practitioner or master so I can't say I KNOW the causes; however I BELIEVE many of the causes come from the various chemicals they put in the environment TO cause it.
  6. ProfD I was talking specifically about the racist Whites on the police department. However for a long time you had a strong Black mayor who shielded you from a lot of the racism so many of our people were experiencing around the nation.
  7. ProfD Other communities tend to use both the carrot AND the stick to keep their people in line and from making fools of themselves and embarrassing the community. Racists powers can offer a fool all kinds of gold and money to make a clown out of himself and disgrace his people and he MIGHT except....but if it was made clear that there was no place he could go in the world without the fear of a bunch of goons coming to snatch his ass up in the middle of the night and make him disappear...he'll think twice. In a lot of Muslim nations, they cut off the hands of thieves. I'm not advocating that a person loose their hand for petty non-violent crimes but the threat of loosing your hand DOES counter-act the temptation to steal nearly anything despite it's value.
  8. It seems to me that the mainstream media REALLY uses these debates for the same purposes that they aired nearly all of Trump's speeches live......to promote right-wing propaganda. I remember back in the 90s C-Span was showing live speeches by Minister Farrakhan and Dr.Khalid Muhammad. They stopped. They stopped because "too many" people were hearing the message and waking up so they ended it. Now they've turned to promoting Nazism and right-wing extremism with airing the Republican Debates and Trump speeches while claiming "the public" wants to hear them. Or with the claim that CNN likes to make that they're "exposing" Trump by airing all of his speeches when they clearly became his biggest promoter. If they were fair, ALL presidential candidates would get equal debate time for so many debates right up to the nomination and all would get the same amount of coverage.
  9. Lol....how do you know what shade I am?
  10. Lol.......are you talking about @Cynique ????
  11. I Judge no one.... Lol..you've been judging me and my behavior all thorough out this thread. I have no religion.. i share my thoughts a) You believe in the Bible so you CLEARLY have a religion, in my opinion b) You share more than just YOUR thoughts, but you share the thoughts given to you by the scriptures you believe in. like i said you would not appreciate them... Can I be the judge of that? Prostitution is Legal in Nevada...That's in the US SOME PARTS of Nevada, it's legal. That's only a small part of the U.S. For the most part, it's illegal in the U.S. The means by which you attain such heights is important......Payback is Karma Karma is a Hindu term that means "action"...not pay back. Neither Am I That's obvious. However if you DID try to build one, it sounds like it would be based on that...lol. Let your Conscience be your Guide. Not good enough..... As I've said before, not everyone has a conscience. And for those who do....not everyone's conscience tells them the same things. If we are all living together in one society, we should all be on the same page of what's right and what's wrong. Can't have one group of men who thinks prostitution and having 10 wives is ok...and another group who thinks prostitution should be banned and a man should remain celibate all his life. We have to have compromise and agreement for a society to remain stable.
  12. frankster Book learning not Wisdom. If they are able to APPLY what they've learned in those books to rule over people, then they also have WISDOM to a certain degree. Yes they have Power.... by creating an evil corrupt system of Exploitations with Power garner from Corruption and Collusions...more suffering - What goes around comes around. Do you have proof or strong evidence of this? Or is it more WISHFUL THINKING from those who think they don't have the ability to defend themselves from the corruption and evil afflicting them? If you cannot survive on your own... then you are dependent - Vassal State. You called them a failed state. Clearly they are not. We can move on if you like...lol. We have Progress...Within the System of White Supremacy because we have played by their rules and by adhering to their goals. Ok. So in other words, progress IS achievable. Now...... Black African and African American....is Antithetical to White Supremacy - Today the US is One of the Major Practitioner of Racism on the Global stage. Tell me something I don't know. We should focus on making MORE progress. Not lamenting over the obvious. But Right and Wrong as in Good and Evil goes beyond Mores and Social Values...It is of the Fabric of Consciousness Not sure if that's true or false. Animals are conciouss.....do all of them know "good" from "evil"??? We have been here before. All living things have a Conscience.....that small still voice - Intuition. Have you communicated with "all living things" to know this as a fact? I am not religious.. Yes I learn from Scripture Do you believe Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior? and/or Do you believe the Bible is the word of God? She came to you for help? Yes...and found it. The exchange of goods and or services for sex is prostitution Correction: Exchanging MONEY for sex is prostitution. Not goods or services. Whether with you or anyone else it is still prostitution....Considered abusive - to all involved. Considered abusive BY YOU because of your Westernized view of sex. Obviously, you've been taught to believe sex is negative outside of certain confines. We can agree she needed help? No. She WANTED help. but she wanted your help....You accepted - a bargain was made. Correct Now we're getting somewhere....lol. Plenty have don't so....oldest among professions - it tends to have undesirable consequences. So does being a virgin, being celibate, and NOT engaging in sex when God created us to. Doesn't your Bible say that man wasn't made to be alone? No not at all....A fair price is all that is required "Fair" is what BOTH PARTIES AGREE upon. You saw you had an Advantage and took it. Correct. What is the opportunity some in need and wanting your help. She wanted it, she didn't need it. The opportunity is in and of itself...my opportunity to have sex with a woman I found attractive. Maybe so Maybe not....I do not know what that means to you. please elucidate? You quote Biblical scriptures, so obviously you believe their is truth and validation in them to a certain extent. That's the point of view you're coming from. The Bible for the most part teaches against sex outside of marriage which it calls "fornication". If you want to believe that...as I once did...fine. Just don't force it on others. If by my morals you mean European Western Morality ...then you are Wrong - Admittedly they are overlaps in both African and European Morality. So outside of Biblical scripture...which was translated BY Europeans....where else do you get your moral and ethical code/beliefs from? What are you implying here....that Africans do not have Morals? Absolutely not. The word "morality" ITSELF came from the Moors who were African. Biblical Style Courting is loosely based in African Cultures.....African Americans have forgotten. True....because of colonialism many Western European sexual habits have been FORCED upon Africans. Usually through religious indoctrination. In order to find out if it's TRULY "African" or not, we have to study the cultures that have been relatively untouched by the Europeans, Arabs, and other outsiders. It's not so much that African Americans have FORGOTTEN them but our proximity to Caucasians have taught us....among other things...how to think more liberally and "freely" from religion and religious indoctrination. So unlike many other people around the world who believe UNQUESTIONABLY in religious scripture, we have learned to question it and in some cases abandon it. Clear cut case of Abusive.. Then why pretend it was anything else?? Because it was not abuse. Again, you have an anti-sexual point of view based on Western/Biblical moral codes. That colors how you look at sex and sexual activity, especially outside of the confines of marriage.
  13. They said she came from Florida up to Atlanta to do this. If she wanted to just "burn down something" she could have kept her wild-eyed ass in Florida....lol. No, she was MOTIVATED to do this. She targeted King's house for a reason.
  14. White folks have taken much of the Soul Food recipes and "appropriated" them into dishes called "Southern Cooking". Paula Deen is making millions off of it.
  15. ProfD Illegal prostitution doesn't have the best benefits package (medical and dental) and retirement plan. Neither do most marriages....lol. And you're STUCK with the partner until you get a LEGAL divorce or separation. There's also the hazards of unsafe workplace conditions and physical security issues. Same thing with an abusive marriage...lol. And even when a woman tries to LEAVE the fool, he often still stalks her. How many johns stalk their ho's vs how many ex-husbands stalk their ex-wives? Housewives married to a strong provided have much better job security and benefits and retirement package. Especially if she becomes a widow i.e. out-lives provider who has accumulated savings, investments, pension, etc. While there are exceptions to everything i.e. women who have been *successful* prostitutes, the odds are lower than a more stable situation. Housewives have fared better overall. You're talking about "best case" or "better case" scenarios with marriage. Not the typical average marriage in the U.S. where there is physical abuse, emotional abuse, substance abuse, often unwanted pregnancies, and financial strain and stress. Over many decades, women have been able to choose how they want to live and provide for themselves. No pimp, John or husband required. That would be ideal, but women in the U.S. are NOT allowed to choose because prostitution is illegal for the most part. I say make it legal (not human trafficking but sex for money) and let people have a CHOICE as to whether they want to engage in it or not. Troy How about the house wives who are also hookers? the best of both worlds huh Many already are....both literally AND figuratively . If a woman's ONLY job is cooking meals, keeping the house clean, and giving her husband blow jobs in exchange for him taking care of her, buying her a few gifts, and giving her a weekly allowance...isn't that basically exchanging sex for favors? Call it whatever you want....but that's the reality. Cynique Hello to you too....lol. You might want to capitalize the "B" when you talking about Black people 😉 ProfD & Cynique No one said anything about prostitution being "ideal" for women in general. For SOME women it absolutely IS ideal....if they have a talent for sexual pleasures. However I support it being legal for those women who WANT to engage in it. Give them the CHOICE. Everyone has gifts and talents, including when it comes to sex and sexual activities. If a woman OR man was given a talent for sex and pleasing people sexually, why should they be suppressed and restricted because of some hypocritical RELIGIOUS BASED laws? Keep it real... If people weren't conditioned by the Church to look at prostitution and even sex itself as a dirty or evil thing, they wouldn't have the opposition and mixed feelings they have about it. It would be just another natural act similar to eating and sleeping. It should be legal and regulated for the safety of both parties.
  16. @frankster Let me make it clear that: 1. I support the institution of marriage when done PROPERLY. 2. I believe children should be raised by atleast a man and women in a committed relationship.....usually marriage. Having said that though.............. I would argue that historically, women have found more independence and success as PROSTITUTES than as old fashioned traditional HOUSE-WIVES. A lot of women have become successful and made lots of money being call-girls, escorts, and eventually Madams of their own brothels. As important is it is, how many have become wealthy from their position as subservient and obedient house-wives? I'd further argue that in recently history, house wives have experienced more domestic violence and physical abuse from their husbands....than prostitutes have from their Johns. The reasons I make this point is because "right and wrong" should based on BENEFIT to us as a people, not based on out-dated moral and ethical guidelines given to us by our enemies (the racists). We want a society based on TRUTH...because facts and knowledge solve our problems. Not just another one based on lies and eye-bucking superstition that will have you going around in circles over and over again trying to figure out what's wrong.
  17. Let us wait and see if I'm right...............
  18. Oh, I forgot to add.......there have been other women....actually more...who OFFERED to have sex with me for helping them AFTER I actually helped them (and yes I took some of them up on their offer....lol) than those I NEGOTIATED sex with for my help. I've helped men AND women. When I help men, they feel that I've done them a favor so they offer me other favors. Some offer money, other offer to buy me some liquor, others help me in other ways. When I help women, they often offer me other favors too but a lot of women feel like the best way to "reward" a man is with their body. Help her son with his homework or with some trouble with other kids, fix her car or sink, help her fill out an application, give her a ride to work....she often will OFFER a man sex. Not every woman....but many of them. But again, we want a NEW SOCIETY built on TRUST and TRUTH. Not one build on a foundation of lies, hypocrisy, and perversion. The people can SEE what's going on despite what you TELL them or read to them out of some so-called "holy book". A man can quote scripture all day long but if they see that man sneaking women into his house in the middle of the afternoon for "counselling sessions" for hours at a time while his wife is at work or see pictures of him on-line wearing lipstick and earrings in drag......they know he's full of shit.
  19. ProfD Considering what LeBron James does on the basketball court, I don't see someone who a coach can control or manipulate or influence. As a supremely gifted and talented athlete, he makes the team successful. Considering that he was TRADED from Orlando to Clevland to Los Angeles.....it tells me that he doesn't have the control over himself that you may THINK he has. Whoever is TRADING him for money and power is the one who is really in control. Folks are hired based on their ability to do a job and fired when they are incapable. That's why folks have to walk in the door with certain credentials. No need to control or manipulate or influence them. That's why they get paid. PAYING them is a form of control in and of itself. Outside of that, setting certain limits on them and giving them missions to accomplish and work to be done means that whoever is giving it to them has a measure of control and influence over them. They didn't hire THEMSELVES...someone hired them. Whoever hired them can fire them....those people have control and influence. Control and influence aren't ABSOLUTE. There are degrees and levels of it. frankster The Racist....who have been misinformed and miseducated Ok, thanks for clarifying what you meant. However I would question whether or not most racists have been "misinformed" or "miseducated". Some racists are HIGHLY educated and informed, which is why they have so much power in society and control over people. Agreed they do not look like a failed state.....They cannot exist without the immense support of the US. As I said, they don't look like a "failed state" to me regardless as to who is supporting them. I'm not arguing the reasons for it, I'm focused on stating the OBVIOUSNESS of it. Black African and African American progress being loved or like by the US Government. Well.... Ask Obama, the first AfroAmerican President. Ask Kamala Harris, the AfroAmerican VP Ask the thousands of Black Congressmen, Senators, and Mayors whether or not the U.S. government can love or like them. Yes and the Right behaviour in any given situation is correct behavior...The correct Behavior is a Moral and Ethical one. You're correct on the first statement.....lol...but not so much on the 2nd. Morals and ethics aren't always "correct" because they differ from one person to the next. You have YOUR morals and ethics.....that's obvious...and I have mine. Conscience almost always informs of of the wrongness or rightness of any action Conscience it can be said is embedded in all living things....whether they obey it or not is their Free Will. What about people who DON'T have a conscience, like a psychopath? See, this is the problem when religion is involved.... Somebody...perhaps a parent or maybe preacher told you that "everyone" has a conscience to tell them right from wrong. Science tells you that NO....not everyone does. So now we disagree with eachother because you're "sure" of one thing while I'm "sure" of the opposite. Not True she is coming to you for help... It IS true because she had other resources at her disposal that she COULD have used if she wanted to. 1. I wasn't the ONLY one who could help her with writing a resume and filling out applications for certain programs. Infact, in some cases (there was more than one) the people they were living with could have helped them do it. 2. Filling out applications and doing resumes aren't a basic necessity. It's to achieve benefit....yes....but not necessarily for food, clothing, shelter, or healthcare. As I said, these women wanted something and were WILLING to exchange sex for it. You thought she was attractive and thought to bed her whilst hold the ability to fill out the resume in question....that's threatening "Threatening" to who? Certainly not her....who WILLINGLY engaged in it. As stated earlier, they had a CHOICE to either do it with me or do it with someone else. She needed your help....its not a fair exchange Slight correction....she WANTED my help. She didn't "need" it. As stated several times before, there were other people they could have went to. And EVEN IF her options were limited....what's wrong with her using her sexuality to fullfill a NEED? Are you suggesting that she should she just "do without"? You took advantage of someone in need. No, as I said before I took advantage of the opportunity. And would GLADLY do so again and again. Secondly, as I've said twice already they WANTED my help....they didn't NEED it. The Moral thing to do is court her According to YOUR morals....because YOU are coming from a Biblical/Christian traditionalist point of view. There is little evidence that YOUR morals provide the best example for AfroAmerican success because our community has TRIED them already and they've led to massive failure. The Biblical style of courting and marriage usually leads to FAILURE for AfroAmericans. .....Not dangle or use your helping her as a silent threat of denial in response to her denial if she should decide to deny you. Another correction: There was no "silent threat"...I made it CLEAR in some cases that if you don't have sex with me, I'm not helping your ass...lol. CRYSTAL CLEAR. If you don't like me, cool....go find someone else. Free society. I support CRYSTAL CLARITY...not assumptions, lies, and false expectations. In all businesses, I make sure the exchanges are CRYSTAL CLEAR. No room for misunderstandings. You court...Not trade No.....YOU court. That's not my religion. You practice YOUR religion if you like, but don't impose it on others. To trade Goods or Services in exchange for sex is Prostitution. Correct. And I support it 100%...in concept. I don't support it in practicality because it's illegal. Which I think is WRONG and totally disagree with. ..... it is Corrupting and exploitive - for all involved. What's you PROOF of this? ...besides your own Western-influenced concepts of sex and marriage? There are MANY WOMEN who have made a good living being prostitutes....more than who have washing dishes or being secretaries. In the U.S. prostitution is ILLEGAL and there is more child abuse, rape, transgenderism and other forms of perversion and abuse than other nations where prostitution between men and women are LEGAL. So again....PROVE what you say about prostitution being corrupting and exploitive. Also, what's your definition of "exploitation"? Does it only apply to sex? Seems to me you'd be more infavor of an ANTI-SEX Black Theocracy instead of a Progressive Black Nation....lol. A guest in their country even if you are a Citizen. If I had it MY WAY or OUR WAY the land we buy would be OUR LAND and no longer legally under their jurisdiction so we would be full fledged CITIZENS...not merely guests. Politicians and Huge white run MultiNational Corporations. ????? What was your purpose of mentioning them? Yes they Rich or wealthy I am not rich like them are you? Not yet....lol. But we can get there if we follow certain steps. I am against most forms of exploitation. You SAY that, but I'm not sure if you are... 1. If you haven't already can you DEFINE exploitation. 2. Depending on your definition, how would you get workers to WORK for you and BUILD your society if you don't plan to use them to a certain extent? Also, you say MOST......but not all. What forms of exploitation are you NOT against? I can tell you clearly, I'm NOT trying to build a community based on Biblical or Western-Christian ideology and their PERVERTED rules of sex, diet, and other forms of so-called morality. Their society was built on LIES and HYPOCRISY. The same preachers telling YOU not to have sex, were running around having sex with everyone in the choir, in the congregation, and screwing as many women as they could get their hands on. I believe following THEIR way is one of the reasons our community is in the shape it's in today. That old way CLEARLY didn't work and is not working for most of us, so we need a NEW form of morals and ethic to build our society on.
  20. Yeah..... While a lot of Black folks up Noth are conditioned to RUN from them, especially when they have a uniform and a badge. ...and still end up getting locked up by the thousands. Let's go to New York, D.C. Detroit, Chicago, or Philly and you tell me how much of a fight these young niccaz have been putting up against the racists.....lol. BTW........we didn't consider D.C. and Baltimore traditional "Northern" cities. They are Eastcoast in terms of architecture but in term of culture and the way people talk and interact, there is a very strong Southern vibe. When I would interact with my cousins from D.C. they would refer to people as "Miss So-n-So" a lot.
  21. Apparently some crazy young "sista" tried to burn down Dr. Martin Luther King's childhood home down in Atlanta. MLK house vandalism: Woman tried pouring gasoline on childhood home (usatoday.com) I haven't looked much into the story yet but I'm telling people right now, I BET it's going to come out that she was influenced by some crazy shit she heard and read over the internet about MLK being a "communist" or working with the "illuminati". I'm willing to bet MONEY that this is what sent her over the edge. For a couple of years now I've gotten into it with other Black folks over the internet who sat up and listened to some of these right-wing Trump-supporting websites who's only job is to go around trying to bash Black heroes and smear their reputations. They go around accusing Marcus Garvey of this....Malcolm X of that....Martin L.King of this. A few of them had claimed that Martin L. King was sent to "communist school" as a kid and then sent out to the Black community as an agent of the USSR in order to help destroy the nation. And a lot of Black folks even BELEIVE this shit! I'm willing to wager that this "sista" was heavily influenced by this propaganda. Wait until it comes out.....
  22. Man, I haven't watched a Presidential debate since Obama was running....lol. I didn't see a need for it, all they do is sit up and tell lies. And when it comes to Republican debates.....they try to "out nazi" eachother with their extremist right-wing views. Even most of the American public is starting to catch on now. The ONLY purpose it serves is for entertainment.....especially when Trump is on the panel...lol. No Trump.....no entertainment. That's why many of them are talking about ENDING the RNC debates if Trump doesn't show up to them. And speaking of Trump, they've already pretty much made their mind up that HE will be the next Republican nominee unless something major happens. So why even waste time with these little welter-weights? Perhaps they are jocking for who will be Trumps RUNNING mate. If that's the case, I think Nikki Hailey probably has the best chance out of the bunch.
  23. ProfD Now what does that say about US? That we invent so much and then just ABANDON it? I've known old Black women down South who made such good food. Didn't even have a recipe book. Made it from scratch by looking at it and measuring it with intuition. But when they were asked to write down the recipe or atleast teach it to their daughters...they refused to do so. Took the recipe to their graves. For what? Same with dance moves and other arts. When I was a kid in school one of the things that bothered me was how PROUD some Black kids were to teach White boys how to dance or how to "mack" on girls. They wouldn't teach other Black boys what they knew. If another Black boy was "lame" enough to even ask them how to do a dance or get a honey....they'd CLOWN on him and tell him. But a White boy? They'd take him under their wing and show him everything they know. Troy Little Richard was not only gay but he was FLAMBOYANTLY gay....lol. I think THAT....more so than his race...contributed to him not getting the popularity and shine that he deserved. You put him on live television and there's no telling what he might have said or done.
  24. HIs shows had spin-offs after spin-offs....lol. I think Maud was a spin-off of All In The Family. The Jeffersons was a spin-off of All In The Family. Esther Roll and John Amos played in Maud and later got together for Good Times. I'm not going to lie, I LOVE those old shows. They were more "real" with their social commentary than a lot of the shit we see on television (if you even watch it) today. They were talking about the President, saying "nigga", addressing the most controversial issues of the time....openly. And they had LIVE STUDIO AUDIENCES who added to the entertainment.
  25. That's my point...... They keep it in the closet or in the backwoods. They have sense enough to HIDE their dysfunctional people. A lot of our people tend to EMBRACE our dysfunctional and welcome them into our families and circles. Put the fool all on television and in music videos and call it "keeping it real".
