  1. I think we're beyond the need for simply marching. It's time for AFFIRMATIVE action in the form of aggressively demanding Reparations and passing pro-AfroAmerican legislation as well as demanding and enforcing much stricter immigration policies. Especially with regard to NON-Black immigrants. Too many non-Black Latinos and Asians are being allowed to flood into the nation and drown out the Black numbers.
  2. Well.............a lot of our people ARE weak minded. Look at the "Black Voices For Trump" dude sitting up in the jail house right now. He was willing to go to jail for a man who didn't even know he EXISTED....and STILL hasn't said a word in his defense. "Harrison who??? Never heard of him....."
  3. Not sure about the "christian" part, but I totally agree that we need to educate our children in both the Americas and Africa to be scientists and virologists (who are scientists themselves) to protect our communities against the wiles of the racist devils. Satan's scientists stay up day and night burning midnight oil doing experiments and coming up with new viruses and other germs to kill and harm people of color and decimate the population, and our people need to be able to defend themselves from it.
  4. Nels propensity for adverse health conditions associated with certain types of black ancestry I don't believe there are actual health conditions associated with Black ancestry. I think there are certain genes that Black people have that don't react well in environments that are "unnatural" to us and THAT is what causes the adverse health conditions, not the genes themselves. For example....... They claim that Black people tend to have high-blood pressure and it's genetic. But most Africans don't have it....it's mostly AfroAmericans. The two major causes of it have NOTHING to do with genetics but with the environment: 1. Poor diet 2. Stress from racism Get rid of those two factors, and the high blood pressure disappears despite the genetics remaining the same. It's the same with obesity and many other so-called "genetic" problems.
  5. 🤔 Hmmmm....... So what point are you trying to make? Are you suggesting that Black men shouldn't have children?
  6. What if I were to tell you that a lot of the practices that are NOW being called magic and "witch craft" are actually part of ancient science and wisdom that was practiced all over the planet a long long time ago? A lot of what they're calling sorcery and witchcraft is actually being practiced by doctors and psychiatrists in the form of pharmaceuticals.
  7. Well, you're not going to know ALL of the truth. But you can indeed know SOME of the truth about certain things, but you MUST do YOUR OWN research and stop relying on White folks to give you "knowledge" White folks will give you a lot of INFORMATION. Lies, stories, figures, etc....to clutter your mind up with a lot of useless garbage. But they'll HOLD ON to the truth for themselves and use it to actually build institutions. Most White folks KNOW the truth....the exact truth....about certain things. But out of habit, they LIE.....especially to people of color. Many will purposely tell you a lie and then apologize for it after you caught them, they don't know why. But I do......lol. So what WE must do is OUR OWN research. In this case, you'd have to send a brother or sister at the site of the crash itself to take samples of the bodies as well as their pictures and us other tissue records to confirm who was on that plane and who dies. That's how you get REAL knowledge and truth......YOURSELF. Not relying on White folks or the media or even Black folks who WORK under White folks.
  8. Well............ Part of me wants to say, "Let the nicca sit". Hell, if he's dumb enough and sell-out enough to proudly support an open and avowed racist, let the fool get a couple knots upside the head. Maybe he'll have some sense when he get's out. It's hard to feel sorry for some of these clowns who blindly follow Trump and declare him some sort of messianic figure when he's done nothing for the nation but stir up more animosity and open hostility. Sometimes the best thing is to let them succumb to their own traps.
  9. Now one would have to ask one's self.......how can a PRIVATE CITIZEN have more technology than a wealthy Western government, that they would have to go to him for goods and services instead of generating them themselves? I don't believe it's true. Like I said earlier, I think they are GIVING White folks....private White citizens.....knowledge and authority to do certain things in order to RE-segregate society and ensure White men stay on top both covertly and overtly. There is nothing Elon Musk or Bill Gates or any other Billionaire has that our nation with it's MULTI-TRILLION dollar economy couldn't simply mine or make themselves. Nothing. Elon isn't connected to some secret out of space "Mother ship" that can fly in and give him special technology that nobody else is getting. The government is giving him and others the technology instead of making it public. Privatization is the NEW form of Jim Crow segregation. Instead of keeping it in the government where Black folks have a right to work in and be apart of it....they privatize it where diversity and affirmative action laws don't apply; so they can lock Black folks out with no recourse.
  10. Troy "targeted to the consumer" as in they research your history to find out what you're interested in to know what to try to sell you? I don't think this is the case for SEVERAL reasons.... 1. I can assure you that I haven't been researching and checking out "erection pills" or anything else to do with erection issues online or offline....lol. So maybe they were just marketing towards me because I'm a man. 2. I plead the fifth on the pornography part....lol. Although I WILL say that I'm into older women and African women.....neither of which were shown in the porn ads that popped up on your site. Nearly all the porn adds featured skinny white women getting their butts slapped or close-ups on fake breasts bouncing. Things you'd have to actually PAY ME to watch. 3. A lot of the ad were about baking and cooking foods as well as trips to Europe. I haven't done much research on ANY of those subjects so I'm not sure why they would target then towards me.
  11. I saw that over the news the other day. One article said he was a "sovereign citizen" or had those beliefs.
  12. Well now......Fed-Ex isn't a bad job. It depends on your circumstances in life. Everybody doesn't have Masters and Doctorate degrees to earn 6 figures, lol. The internet may make it SEEM that way because most internet savy people are well educated and have a little money on them. The average working class brother or single mother out there is often DOING GOOD to get a job offering $25 an hour, some healthcare, and vacation time! Remember, a large percentage of Black men don't have ANY job.
  13. richardmurray Yes, when it comes to culture and entertainment.....AfroAmerica leads and is the envy of the world. We set the trends and the standards; and have been for decades. One of the positives about being brought out of Africa hundreds of years ago and raised in the U.S. is that we DON'T have a set culture. Which means we have more liberty to allow our Imaginations and Creativity to flourish. No wonder we have invented so many styles of dress, dances, and music genres.....while many other communities around the planet have been dressing, singing, and dancing the same damn way for thousands of years.
  14. Troy I've been hearing a lot of bashing of the crime bill that Clinton and the Democrats passed back in the 90s. Like you, I was ALIVE AND WELL back in the 90s.....and we remember how bad it used to be in the late 80s and early 90s. A lot of Black folks were BEGGING Clinton and Congress to do something about crime and the crack epidemic that was sweeping much of the cities. A lot of Black men got locked up under that "Three Strikes" law
  15. Except for the occasional "We got a lot of Indian in our family, that's where we get all this pretty hair"....most Black Americans rather proud of their culture. Ask the average Black American and he'll tell you......she'll tell you.....they wouldn't want to be anything else. They may want certain FEATURES from other groups, like blonde hair, hazel eyes, wavy hair, some women even like to have slanted "Asian" eyes. But they wouldn't want to BE them. Kind of like White folks who lay out in the sun all day trying to get a tan, but wouldn't wish 1 week of actually BEING Black on their worst enemy....lol.
  16. Well don't forget, a lot of these major corporations are being HEAVILY funded and protected by the Federal government. The way Capitalism SHOULD work is that every business survives and thrives (or fails) on it's own merit and profits. No help from the outside. That was the way MOST businesses operated all the way up to the early 20th century. Now you have these mega corporations who not only have lobbyists in D.C. helping them to get tax breaks and grants, they can routinely break laws and regulations with impunity. No one gets shut down or spends a day in jail. Why? Because White racists in government supports White racists in business. Now just imagine if there was a Black Representative or Senator from Florida in Washington D.C. whom you could talk to who would hook YOU up with a $40 million grant to declare AALBC a "National Institution" and pay your an annual endowment to maintain the site and all it's property for perpetuity. That's how a lot of White folks do with eachother.
  17. I'm not a big fan of banning people EXCEPT if they threaten violence against other posters or reveal personal information they had no right to reveal. However I DO support deleting shit....lol. That being said, I WOULD be careful with allowing all of that anti-Semitic shit Wide awake is posting. You never know. He may come here JUST to spam the board with all of that shit just so it can be flagged and investigated as a "hate site". Think about it..... Some clown pops up out of nowhere dumping as much anti-Semitic content that he can get his hands on KNOWING no one on here really cares for it one way or the other. So obviously it's not being posted for us. So who is he posting it for? What PURPOSE is he posting it for? Posting it by the TRUCK LOADS in nearly every thread he can find.....MAKING SURE if someone comes upon the site they won't miss it. I smell a trap.
  18. We've improved over the decades. I remember when a lot of girls were using BLEACHING crime and Black-n-White ointment trying to lighten up their skin. I remember when dark skinned girls barely got ANY attention except for the occasional, "You're cute for a dark skinned girl". Now it seems as if dark skinned sistaz are getting as much game thrown as them as the lightest skinned ones. Actually, when you think about it......it's the very OPPOSITE of what you said. AfroAmericans are probably among the proudest most PRO-BLACK collective of Black people on the planet. You don't find a lot of Africans and Caribbeans praising their Blackness and bragging about how dark and chocolate their skin is like you see in the U.S.
  19. Word? Oh, I didn't know those commercials paid you to come on the site! Then by all means, make your money....lol. Now thinking back.....I believe I saw a few porno ads that popped up over the years, lol. I remember seeing both porno and erection pill ads...lol.
  20. Lol....why do you say "if" genuinely stated?????? What was it about his simple and seemingly straight forward statement that could have roused the least amount of doubt in your mind about the sincerity of it? 🤣
  21. When I say "staged" I don't mean the deaths are fake or that people aren't getting killed over in Ukraine. I mean "staged" as in the entire conflict as well as much of the well publicized drama involved was already planned and is being planned as they go along. People who are supposedly "enemies" are really allies and partners working together on convert operations. Reasons being: 1. Again, Prigozhin would NOT be that stupid as to try to overthrow the actual president of a nuclear power with his band of merry men. That would clearly be suicidal IF he were serious about trying to overthrow Putin's regime. Which brings me to my next reason..... 2. IF he were indeed serious about overthrowing Putin's regime....why the hell did he stop when he had a slight advantage? According to news reports his military was marching toward Moscow unchecked with many Russians cheering him on and welcoming him....not fighting him. Then all of a sudden he changes his mind in mid-stream and decides to turn around???? What kinds of insane shit is that? BOTH of them were playing some sort of GAME overthere. 3. And instead of arresting him as a traitor Putin "forgives" him and his men and sends them back out to help fight and even gives them more arms. Come on and give a brutha a break with the non-sense.....lol. No leader on EARTH would to something that stupid to a guy and group who just yesterday tried to overthrow your country and do who knows what to you. 4. Now, he supposedly died in some plane crash. Now think about this.....seriously. A guy smart enough to lead his own military ALLEGEDLY tried to overthrow Putin and "failed" Putin said he forgave him...and this smart guy BELIEVES it and apparently TOTALLY forgets the entire thing and goes skipping around Russis as happy as he wants to be eating candy and sipping on milk shakes as if everything is behinds him.......until he meets his end in a jet crash that he WOULDN'T have seen happening to him???? Hell no he ain't dead....because he wasn't on that damn plane. Why do I say this? Because he wouldn't be THAT stupid to begin with. I don't question HIS intelligence. I question the intelligence of those who actually BELIEVE this garbage they're pumping out about him and Putin. That entire situation is a big ass CHARADE.
  22. At the very top of the Democrat AND Republican parties are the White racists who run the nation. That's why I don't trust either party. I keep saying that AfroAmericans need to separate from BOTH of them and form our own political party for OUR interests. However that doesn't mean AfroAmericans are the only one's who can join or support it.....people of all races and ethnicities should be able to. As long as they understand that: 1. We will be the leaders of the party and decide what it's values are and which directions it takes. 2. The main issues the party will cater to will be AfroAmerican needs, the rest come second. If a White or Asian can comprehend and accept those terms, they'd be welcomed as far as I'm concerned.
  23. Chev See...now you just TRIPPIN'...lol. I gotta leave you alone when you're like this. I can't have a conversation with you when you're this yammed up and all emotion. Yeah, I do tend to treat men differently than I treat women. I'm NICER to women.....because I know how emotional yall can get, like you're doing now. I can come with a million articles, excerpts, and scriptures and they STILL wouldn't convince you because your mind is made up on the Bible and Jesus.
  24. That Fani Willis is kinda fine though.......lol. A real Georgia Peach. After all of those impeachments, could it really be a BLACK WOMAN who takes down Trump?????
