  1. So with all of these White men and women who've been calling the cops lying on innocent Black citizens, falsely accusing them of assault, falsely accusing them of having guns, swatting their homes with 911 calls, filing false police reports on Black folks and in so many of these cases innocent Black folks end up being killed or seriously injured because of LIES told on them -yet the LIARS don't get so much as time in the county jail. Not even a sentence to do community service and pick up some damn trash on the side of the highway. But look who DOES end up getting prison time for a silly attention-grabbing stunt in which NO ONE even got hurt: Woman who faked her own kidnapping sentenced to prison (msn.com) .......no good wicked bastids. They had over 60 years to grab that woman who lied on Emmit Till and lock HER ass up for lying to the authorities and getting an innocent boy killed. But that's not who they chose to make an example of. If it were a White woman, they'd be sending her to Dr.Phil and shedding tears over her situation and having discussions on talk shows over what type of counseling she needs to get "whole" again. White feminist women would be up at the courthouse holding up signs saying "Psychiatry not Prison" in order to save her. Even if she were Lesbian, the LGBT community would probably ride for her. Hell, it probably wouldn't have even made the news. But because she's a beautiful young Black woman who obviously finds BLACK MEN attractive and seeks OUR attention....they want to send her up the river. They need to LEAVE our sista alone. If she has psychological problems, then get her some HELP.
  2. Tariq Nasheed's take on it............
  3. People obviously want to see sex and nudity. And people are obviously willing to pay almost any amount not only to HAVE it but to SEE IT (especially if they are unable to have it themselves). So we know money and greed are behind most of this moral hypocrisy and lying over prostitution and nudity in the media. When I was in Europe nearly 20 years ago, one of the things that I noticed about the media.....besides a lot of Black music being played and honored, lol....is the amount of nudity that was on television! I mean, nudity even in the commercials! It wasn't pornographic nudity, just plain nudity....like a naked woman or man's butt being seen in the shower as shampoo was being advertised. Nudity in the talk shows. Nudity in the regular television shows. Absolutely no sexual hang ups. Another thing was the amount of open prostitution that was allowed in some areas. It seems as if most European cities have a "red light" district where prostitution was just permitted unbothered.
  4. A marriage truly "made in America"......lol. Will should have never gotten involved with Jada in the first place. She was too "hard" for him anyway. Especially after he found out her former relationship with Tupac, he should have just went in the other direction.
  5. How do you know your past lives weren't MUCH MUCH BETTER than the one you are living now? I would like to get into contact with my past lives to gain the knowledge and wisdom I learned in them to benefit me in THIS one and FUTURE ones.
  6. Barbara Lee? I knew she was in congress but for some reason thought she represented Texas, not California. As far as Laphonza's sexual orientation.............. Under ordinary circumstances I would agree with you that her sexual orientation has NOTHING to do with her ability to serve in her capacity as Senator. However when taken into CONTEXT of other AfroAmerican politicians who have been appointed lately, her appointment begs several questions....... 1. She was APPOINTED, not elected. Black folks used to run for office and win the election, now so many need some White man to "appoint" them and "give" them a position of authority or else they don't get in. Why? 2. Why are most of the Black folks being "appointed" to these various positions by White politicians either a) Homosexual? b) A-sexual....having no significant other or no history of having one? c)Married to a White spouse? Where as historically, nearly all of the Black folks who ran for office and won by being elected BY OUR PEOPLE (not appointed by some White man with his OWN agenda), were Black men and women married to other Black women and men and were raising healthy Black children as good examples of healthy Black families- Now a days, most of these Black folks being APPOINTED and PROMOTED by these White politicians are "queer" and "gay" or have some sort of questionable sexual asterisk by their names or are inlove with some White person who is in the background influencing their positions. Like Arsenio Hall, these are things that make you go 🤔 HMMMM....... If you notice patterns, you almost CAN'T HELP but to notice these.
  7. Murder and theft are obviously wrong. But I personally don't have a problem with prostitution, as long as it's not forced and the prostitutes are adults. But then again....I'm non-religious so I don't have the same sexual hang-ups that most people in this society have.
  8. That's most of it. We'd really have to see a Black society totally FREE of "white supremacist" ideology and study it in order to make a more clear determination as to how much White racist influence has on the morals and behavior of our people.
  9. @Cynique What ever happened to that man who was giving you rides to the store a few years ago? Instead of waiting on something that may not happen for another 10 or 15 years, you SHOULD be sitting around waiting patiently on a PHONE CALL from him.....lol.
  10. I heard one pro-Black "leader". I want to say it was Dr. Umar Johnson but I'm not sure. He said he would rather a WHITE MAN get in the Whitehouse instead of a Black man because atleast a White man could get things done directly and wouldn't be PRETENDING to have power he didn't have. I thought it was an interesting observation and comment. Not sure if I agree with it.
  11. ProfD The problem with that theory is that there are a SURPLUS of crazy murderoous Black folks not just in America but on the continent of Africa. They go from village to village committing all kinds of atrocities. Some of them niccaz over there have taken war and murder to a NEW level. Some of the shit they do to eachother would make the KKK take off the hood and sit down on a damn TREE STUMP and gag....then stare off into the distance, LOL. "No sir...... It's over.... I quit.... I'm joining the Peace Corps and going to Africa. They need peace keepers overthere! Nature has a way of balancing things out..... If you're too stupid and crazy to remain calm and NOT kill folks over every little thing, your society is too unstable so you usually don't get sophisticated enough TO engineer more powerful weapons. The ONLY reason some of the clowns, warlords, and murderers running around in parts of Africa (and Haiti) aren't killing eachother like the Russians and Ukrainians is because they don't have the TECHNOLOGY to do so! They're using small arms and pistols and machetes and whatever they can get their hands on to do so, though! Talk about America and Russia having nuclear weapons..... They've had them for nearly 80 years and we haven't had a nuclear war YET. Let some of them niccaz over there with rags wrapped around their heads riding around hanging off of jeeps, get ahold of them...... ...they would have blown up the world 18 TIMES by now....lol. Killing men, women, children, cats, dogs, chickens, and anything else. Come on man.....lol....you know our people. Most of us are good, but some of our people are down right evil.
  12. It's not so much Trump himself but what he represents.....BOLD UNBRIDLED RACISM. A lot of these poor White folks (and a lot of Latinos I've met) think that for years and years White men haven't been allowed to "tell it like it is" or speak their mind and Trump comes along being shameless racist asshole and ascends to the Whitehouse. It energizes them. He's a lightning rod that they can rally around. I'm not seeing as many Black folks who support Trump now as they did a few years ago. Not sure why. Maybe some of the fools are waking up or just can't maintain focus. But I've ran into a LOT of Latinos who love Trump.
  13. Some people say money is the root of all evil. But I ask, who is the one most likely to rob you, beat you down, or car-jack you..... A rich man with plenty of money? Or a poor dude who is flat broke with nothing to lose???? 🤣
  14. I believe we could have gotten something close to a Reparations Package under President Obama. I really do. During his first term there was so much HOPE (and "change that you can believe in"....lol) and AfroAmericans were so unified to get him in office and ensure his initial success, almost anything we would have pushed him to do he would have done. I'm talking his first year or two in office.....not the 3rd or 4th.
  15. richardmurray I can't disagree with what you're saying. Time after time since we've been in this hemisphere we've had INDIVUAL Black people who have outshined Caucasians....even in their own institutions. However COLLECTIVELY speaking....... I suppose individual success is better than no success at all.
  16. Thanks for refreshing my memory of his accusations. So now the question is, why aren't "The Squad" and other so-called Progressives focused on removing his ass from Congress???? That's a rhetorical question, because I pretty much already know the answer. THEIR focus is on bring more illegal immigrants into the nation as well as pushing to have transvestites in women's bathrooms....that's where THEIR focus is.
  17. And familiarity often brings contempt.....lol.
  18. I was told by a White woman a few months ago that no matter what problems you're dealing with.....being BROKE will make them worse, lol. Even if it's a health/medical issue that you haven't cured yet, atleast with more money you can afford more treatments to ease your condition or afford things to do that will take your focus off of your condition and make life easier. It's one thing to be sick. It's another thing to be sick AND broke. Even if you're incarcerated....atleast with more money you can afford more lawyers to fight for your freedom. It's one thing to be locked up. It's another thing to be locked up and BROKE and not being able to get a lawyer to take your case or even get commissary to make your stay a little more comfortable. It's almost always better to HAVE money than not have it.
  19. Well you know MY stance...... Niccas should get the hell up OUT of California all together. Let it drop in the ocean.
  20. ProfD Other than Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg being heavy in the LBGTQ+ community...the white media is reluctant to broadcast white folks from that community. Well, his last name is pronounced "Booty Jig". That should have been one of the first indications of his orientation when he hit the national spotlight. nels If she's part of the LGBTQIA+ community, then she IS "qualified".......atleast for the agenda they're pushing. The thing about White racists.... they love to promote whoever will disgrace and humiliate the image of AfroAmericans regardless of their political affiliation, religion, gender, etc.... As long as they're a fool, weird, have some sort of sexual perversion, super ugly.....any dysfunction....White racists will promote the hell out of them. That's the ONLY qualification they need: Just be dysfunctional. Infact, that's one of the reasons they hated your favorite President Obama so much. He didn't do a lot for us, but he was such a full package and they couldn't find anything "on" him. Handsome, well educated, had a Black wife (who wasn't fat or loud or obnoxious) , nice kids who weren't getting into trouble, HE didn't get into trouble, ect.... DAMN....they just couldn't find ANYTHING on the brother so they had to start MAKING UP things on him, lol. "He's a Muslim! He's a Communist! He wasn't born in America, he was born in Afghanistan! His wife is really a man! He smokes cigarettes...just look at him! He's....he's....he's.....he's UNAMERICAN that's what he his!!!!" Just...anything they could think of.....SAY IT, lol.
  21. Kenneth I was riding with you right up until you typed this............ 2. Reparations if paid will let whites and the system off the hook. Congress and Corporate America will declare the race problem solved. It will be nearly impossible to raise concerns about other problems and get action taken because they will wrongly claim " they paid " so there's no reason to consider any further claims. Reparations will let them off the hook with WHO? Hell, who are they "on the hook with" forcing them to address our concerns right now???? In other words, if White American are killing, incarcerating, poisoning, and generally mistreating many of our people and the "good" White folks aren't stopping it or addressing them anyway -then WHAT DO WE HAVE TO LOSE? 3. Reparations will be the biggest stimulus package for White dominated Corporate America in history. Perhaps. Especially when we don't have enough Black banks to hold all of the money we should receive from a decent Reparations package. However if someone offers to give you a Benz.....would you turn it down over the high price of gas? There's an old saying, "Don't cut off your nose to spite your face". We don't want to reject something that's good for us ONLY because it would also benefit our enemy also. We don't need reparations. We need more and better. Again, we need and deserve more....but we should take Reparations WHILE waiting on and demanding more and better.
  22. Thanks to the internet...... I'm learning FAR more about the history of NWA and each of the members and the saga of the group and Jerry Heller and the rest of those involved.....than I knew back in the early 90s. I've actually been going deep on the history of them over the past month or two out of curiousity and entertainment. I didn't know about Ice Cube's group C.I.A. or about Dre and Yella and the World Class Wreckin' Cru back then. I did remember hearing the song "Turn Out The Lights" but didn't know who it was by. Things make so much more sense now after doing research on them.
  23. Perhaps..... But with some people, if they didn't believe anyone ever died permanently but re-incarnated over and over again.....they'd REALLY become more murderous and barbaric. Can you imagine how murder convictions would go if all judged were convinced of re-incarnation? Killing someone would carry the same penalty as probably running over a foot or a punch in the face.....lol. Just a temporary offense.
  24. ???? Wasn't Gaetz on his way to JAIL for something, not too long ago? I forget what it was about but it was some sort of scandal involving him and a young man working for him and they had some sort of inappropriate sexual relationship or something. There was another scandal on Gaetz involving money and corruption. My question is how do these obviously corrupt dudes like Trump, DeSantis, and Gaetz not only avoid jail time but end up getting POLITICAL OFFICES???? That in and of itself should be investigated in my opinion. If Biden was worth his weight in salt, he'd be sending a federal team down there to investigate both DeSantis and Gaetz to take both of them out of office. At any rate..... Do you know who I blame for both DeSantis AND Gaetz if he gets to be Governor of Florida? ANDREW GILLUM. Because if he wasn't such a punk.... If he wasn't such a wimp.... If he had stood up and DEMANDED a fair recount and not let the racist Republican DeSantis just STEAL the Governorship..... If he had not let racist White Democrats TALK HIM OUT of fighting for the highest seat in Florida..... He'd be Governor now and we wouldn't be having this conversation. The same could have been said for President Obama letting Trump get away with his shenanigans with Russia. What good are these niggaz getting in office if they're going to just punk out and let White folks run the show any damn way????
