  1. It's hard to describe it but their is a certain type of tension and hostility that exists in the United States that most AfroAmericans don't notice until they LEAVE the United States for other Western nations and then come back home...then it's readily noticeable. I used to go to Canada a lot and as soon as I crossed the border I immediately sensed a diff I believe AfroAmericans (most humans but AfroAmericans especially) are very sensitive and highly tuned to the emotions of those around us. It's what helps us survive. And much of the tension and our behavior is in RESPONSE to the hostility and hatred from other peoples that we can "sense" even if they don't act on it or say a word.
  2. FAS (Full-A-Shit) Now I know what FAS stands for....lol. This is what I meant about dishonesty in debate. Problem is....YOU'RE not "debating". A debate is when both sides challenge eachother's points with counter-points and more points of their own. YOU aren't doing that. YOU are throwing a hissy fit...lol. Your reliable refusal to concede on ANY point I or anyone else makes when in the middle of even the mildest of disagreements with you is a CLEAR sign of your mal-adjusted and hyper-emotional disposition. You need help! But the only thing you'll get from arguing with ME is hurt feelings, lol. You pulled a part of your original answer out of context and are now pretending that was your ENTIRE answer. You know... You're the first person I ever heard who accused a person of taking THEIR OWN WORDS out of context....lol. But you're wrong. It wasn't ME pretending that the snippet I brought to your attention was my ENTIRE answer.... It was that Strawman living in your imagination that suggested this to you...lol. HE is the one filling your head with all of those insane delusional arguments that you so desperately need to argue against in order to actually win sometimes...lol. "You know Dorothy, potato chips are really made of cucumbers!" "No, they're not Mr. Strawman....that's pure bunk! They're made from POTATOES. That's why they're called POTATO CHIPS." "Oh... you're right." "Well, looks like I won another one! Tee hee hee......" When I posited that what you were calling intelligent, the destruction of peoples and civilizations No, no, no...... It wasn't ME who said that. You're confusing me with Mr. Strawman! You really need to look deep within yourself and take that up with HIM, not me. I never said it and you won't find a quote of me saying it. Your answer was a Strawman But you answer TO the Strawman...lol. Argument/Fallacy, a misrepresentation, deflection, i.e., setting up the Strawman SUCCESS as the subject Mr. Strawman NEEDS NO set up in YOUR mind. He already has a home there. The fields are bountiful and the harvest is plenty! What is the definition of "white culture"? White culture provides a normative standard of behavior for one living in a system of white privilege. These norms are usually manifested in the arrogance of white entitlement - an assumption of how a white person expects to be treated in the world. I don't know which part of your so-called "definition" is sillier: 1. The fact that it NAMES ITSELF in it's very definition Question: What is white culture? Answer: White culture..... Or The fact that it defines itself by listing what it offers. Question: What is white culture? Answer: White culture provides a.....lol. Question: What is a car? Answer: A car provides heated seats......lol. Troy has helped you out a couple of times before when he refused to post my replies to your... uninformedness. Well, Troy has to help you out ALL the time because you don't have an account....lol. But who can blame you? When you don't have a phone of your own and have to sneak one away from time to time, why bother registering for something if you never know when you'll be able to access it? You said you've been lurking this site for nearly 15 years....yet you won't commit to getting an account. That's like a man who refuses to marry a woman....but hides out in her backyard for 15 years peeping through and tapping on her windows, lol. "My Strawman is falling apart out here in the rain!" Pick up your big boy pants and stand on your own two feet. That advice may have helped YOU last year, but I've never been in a position where I needed to be told that, lol. But hey, whatever keeps you from wetting the bed at night. Either that or cease with the false, unfounded and repulsive attacks, corroborated only by the brutha at the gas station, on MY people's "inferior" intelligence. Why? Your disturbing inability (or unwillingness) to COMPREHEND my crystal clear responses are doing more to corroborate my assertions than all of the examples I've offered thus far....lol.
  3. Wait a minute! "Whachoo talkin' bout Pioneer????" "I thought you said it was better for TRUMP to be President!" "Now don't sit up there and lie about what you said!!!!!!" "For the past few months you've been running around saying that you don't support Trump but you support him being in office and how him being in office is good and was going to lead to a glorious future for AfroAmericans." "So why are you contradicting yourself NOW talking about how glad and wonderful it is that Biden is President?????" I didn't say that it's wonderful that Biden IS the President, I said it was wonderful that he was ELECTED as President! Trump still IS the President and him being in office STILL WILL lead us to our Glory! You see...... If Trump was re-elected, it would have pissed off the Left. But the Left are for the most part wimps and weren't going to do shit about it but complain and go marching around in the street doing hool-a-hoop dances and holding candles. But the Biden election pissed off the Right...the RACISTS...the RED NECKS...the MILITIAS! Brothers and sisters they are NOT going to let this go. They are already talking about voter fraud and theft....and it's only going to intensify. When he told the racist militias to "stand by" the other night, he KNEW what the hell he was saying! I honestly don't know exactly what's going to happen because I don't know the future. My plans are and our plans should be to make it THROUGH what's going to happen, and be alive and healthy on the other side to help with the Great Reset. I hope and pray that The SUPREME BEING Grants me that wonderful opportunity. Department of Historical Research And Documentaries Unknown Future Interviewer: So, was this always your land? " Naw....not at first. I was.....I was 'bout 30 years old back during the Great Reset. You see all of this land we on right now? Nothin' but ghetto....uh....big raggedy houses and parking lots. So in the beginning of the Great Reset you know...uh...they was busy trying to rebuild and clean up. So I helped clear THIS particular piece of land out and uh......ya know....they was nice enough to give it to me and told me I could even keep it tax free as long as I could keep it up! So now....uh.....'round the beginning while all that MESS was going on all the stores had ran out of food at that time! So I decided the first thang I wanted to do was plant some crops....ya know...for some food for me and my family at the time and the rest of the community. And uh....ya know I kinda liked it...working with my hands and what not.... so I just stayed on the land and kept farming". Brothers and sisters make sure you have ATLEAST a month's supply of food, blankets, candles, ect....and prepare yourself psychologically for what you might see in this society.
  4. Troy but I believe for the song to really resonate, unless you are super empathic, you have to have grown up in a ghetto. What do you think? I think you're right in for the MOST part. However I'll say you don't necessarily have to actually "grow up" there for the song to resonate and you relate to it if you had regular contact with it. We didn't actually "grow up" in the ghetto. We grew up in what rarely exists in America today known as a "Black working class" neighborhood. Unless you grew up in Chicago, or Detroit, or Atlanta, or St. Louis, or some other mostly Black city with a wide variety of AfroAmericans in different socio-economic classes....most people aren't going to be familiar with that. Most Black folks in other parts of the country only know ghetto and suburbs...lol. But we didn't live around poverty or wealth. Just blocks and blocks of Black folks who worked in factory and civil service jobs. But ALL of us in the neighborhood had 2 things in common: 1. We ALL had relatives who lived in the ghetto/projects. 2. We ALL had relatives who still lived down South in Mississippi, Georgia, and the Carolinas...lol. We (meaning every family in the neighborhood) would visit the latter occasionally and the former REGULARLY. And the REASON we used to visit our relatives in the ghetto regularly was to keep THEM from coming over and visiting US....lol. No offense to YOU Troy (because I remember you saying you were from the projects)....but the adults didn't want yall bringing your ghetto selves and your little bad ass kids over to our neighborhoods and causing trouble or embarrassing us.....LOL. Getting drunk, shouting, and pulling out knives and pistols...lol. But my point is most of us knew from first hand experience what poverty and ghetto life was like and could relate to much of what was being talked about based on our direct connections to it without having to have had immersed ourselves in it. The lessons learned in the home is different that the ones learned on the street. This is true. The reason being is because most of the homes in the ghetto are ran by WOMEN, while the streets are primarily ran by MEN. Different natures with different expectations. You can sweet talk mamma and give her a hug or a kiss to get her to give you a break or cut you some slack. But you ain't gonna hug or kiss Junior or Jamaal...atleast not back THEN.....lol. If you don't give THEM cats what you promised you would, they're going to hemm your ass up in a alley or vacant building some where and whoop that ass (if you're lucky)....lol. Moving through life distrusting everyone is stressful, carrying that mentality into the wider world, where it is not necessary is just as stressful. It prevents you from really engaging with the world. Not for me. I think it depends on the LEVEL. I've said many times I have a healthy distrust of most Caucasians and it has helped me tremendously. I don't go around with a chip on my shoulder....I'm just aware of people and the tricks they may try to play. As long as you maintain a low level of suspicion of most people's intentions...especially people you just come across, you're gonna be SAFE and it will keep you out of a lot of unnecessary danger. But if you're walking around on DefCon 4 all the time with no reason to be, ofcourse you're going to wear down your adrenalin glands. "Hell naw you can't help me! Why you want to help ME? All of these white folks walking around in the department store and YO ass is following ME around asking how you can help ME..... For fucking WHAT???? Cuz I'm BLACK???? HUH???? Is THAT why you wanna help me muthafu...."
  5. When Curtis said: I never learned to shareOr how to careI never had no teachings about being fair I found that interesting..... Because most people of color I know who grew up poor were among the BEST at sharing! The poorer they were, the better they were at it. I remember when I was about 4 or 5 and I was with my older brother who was only a child himself. We were in the projects and somehow got lost from our cousins on our way back from the store. While wandering around from building to building we ran into a bunch of other kids who invited us to go play with them and we played half the day not even caring about how worried our aunt probably was.....lol. When one of the kid's mother called them back home she must have saw we were lost or not from the area and invited us up to have dinner with them and help us get back to our family. I still remember us two sitting down at a big ass table with a bunch of other little kids while that nice woman piled neck bones, greens, macaroni, and a big ass piece of corn bread on our plates! You know how they used to do in the ghetto....piling EVERYTHING on one big plate, lol. That was back in the 70s and man.....I STILL get feelings just thinking about it! I thought that woman was so nice. I have numerous stories I could tell about the love and sharing I've experienced from people who were REALLY in poverty. Poor people tend to be better at caring about others in the community also.
  6. Troy Since FAS isn't registered, I anticipate you're going to have some work cut out for you.....lol.
  7. Something tells me Maurice is going get up from the chair and do a "I just hit the number" dance if he clicks on to this thread....lol. Complete Lyrics to: The Other Side Of Town
  8. FAS And what you said did not address the question, period.... I answered your question....PERIOD. You are positing an "opinion," one based on no verifiable facts. Running around claiming that White people all have the same monolithic "culture"....is the EPITOME of your accusation. The above is why I said the concept of Culture is slippery. Some never get it, so moving on.... No. I can tell by the way you USE the word "culture" that you don't have a proper understanding of it's definition and THAT'S why the concept of it is "slippery" to you. Hell, the concept of a KITCHEN is "slippery" to someone who doesn't know the definition of one.....lol. "What? A room that you can cook AND eat in it???? Never head of nothing like that before. That's a mighty SLIPPERY SLOPE you're trying to lead us up!" I said nothing even remotely like the above. I know. Because THAT is what culture actually is: dress, diet, language, religion, ect... But you weren't talking about THAT, which is why I said you weren't actually talking about CULTURE. Tell me, what "nature" causes white men and black men to "run" differently? And I'm talking the AVERAGE white/black man running down a city street, not a track and fielder. And whatever you do, DON'T spin it, deflect away from my point Tell me where and what context did you get that "quote" from? Show me the page so that I may see the context of it.
  9. Gibran -I'm 'bout it. -I mean I'm BOUT IT! -Pioneer One - for 7 years -he 'bout it 'bout it! ...LOL. We really need to support Black intellectual institutions like literature proprietors, academies, and Black media outlets. We need to ensure that there remains a strong healthy intellectual class in Black America so that stupidity and ignorance doesn't become a staple trait of the sub-culture. For a hot second people were saying that if you spoke with decent English you were "talking White"....but thankfully we've moved out of that phase. When you go to a lot of White or mixed discussion boards (not social media) you see a LOT of activity with dozens of members posting thread after thread of their opinions on certain topics and current issues. Some are in agreement, others in disagreement, but there's no shortage of healthy discussion and plenty of activity and thought. Go to Black discussion boards (what few are left) and they are almost empty of participation. There is plenty of activity on SOCIAL MEDIA with people twerking and tweeting one-liners and quirky comments or exchanging insults back and forth, but don't expect more than 2 paragraphs of actual intelligent discussion on any topic. I've talked about this before..... I believe there's been an INTELLECTUAL DECLINE in the AfroAmerican community that has been taking place for the past 40 years. If you compare most AfroAmericans today with most AfroAmericans of 40 years ago...it seems like back then they could SPEAK better, had better hand writing, and paid more attention to their clothes being neat and hair combed before leaving the house. "I'd say Blacks have come a long way socially and economically 12 years since the King assassination." Now a lot of our people dress sloppy and act even sloppier. We've called eachother "nigga" as far back as I can remember but as a kid we NEVER said it infront of Caucasians. Then all of a sudden I started hearing younger Black people shouting "nigga this and that" at eachother on the street, at work, on the bus, in the mall with no shame or sense of self-awareness. They simply didn't care who was watching or what others thought of them! A lot of things dealing with common sense and proper social behavior seems to have declined over the past 40 years. I believe it has to do with a decline of intellect and brain power. "I'll tell you what though..... People can say what they WANT to about slavery, but you know what? If you think about it REAL HARD...... slavery was actually a CHOICE!" In other words, many of our people have gotten DUMBER over the years and I'm not exactly sure why. Perhaps the "Crack Era" had something to do with it.
  10. FAS The question had nothing to do with 'success.' The question was about intelligence, specifically, which owner is MORE intelligent Which is why I SAID: " however given ONLY the information you provided I would have to say #1. Simply because you say they are SATISFIED and LIVED WELL. That is success as far as I'm concerned. And if you are smart enough to be successful in what you're doing and manage to live a well life, you are very intelligent in my opinion." . Had I known nothing about you at all, I would know you are of the "I am because WE are" culture - homing in on the employees happy and with a living wage - rather than the "I think therefore I am" culture (it's all about me and my desires); Ofcourse...... Most Black people are because it's in our NATURE, not just our various "cultures" which are merely a REFLECTION of our innate natures. Here's why...... Nearly all AfroAmericans pretty much practice a CAUCASIAN based culture that may have many different influences and innovations but is STILL primarily of British/Germanic background. Yet, unlike most Caucasians whom you've pointed out have an "it's all about me.... fuck the rest-a-yall" attitude...most AfroAmericans instinctively look at things from a collectivist point of view and are concerned about others in the community. How would you explain this difference even though BOTH groups (Caucasian Americans and AfroAmericans) were born and raised in the same nation practicing the same general culture? So the reasons for these differences isn't cultural so much as it's having to do with their being two different NATURES as two different racial groups. Denigrating employees, paying them poorly, all the while amassing GREAT wealth from their labor - black culture says you're a pig and deserve to die. Denigrating employees, paying them poorly, all the while amassing GREAT wealth from their labor - white culture says you're a success, one to be emulated, I understand the point you're making, but I think you're confusing innate NATURE with "culture". You speak of "Black culture" and "White culture" as if they are monolithic. There are MANY vastly different cultures even among Africans.....as well as among Caucasians. Much of YOUR point deal less with actual CULTURE (diet, dress, music, ect....) and more with the very sociological and pyschological make-up of the people themselves that go DEEPER than mere cultural upbringing and whether or not my people eat RICE as opposed to PASTA. The NATURE of a people goes beyond culture and reaches to the very reasons for their existence. African people and Caucasian people EXIST for two different purposes, and this is subconsciously KNOWN by most Caucasians...which drives them to do what they do regardless of which culture they may find themselves in. The Caucasian ARAB is just as racist and exploitational as the Christian MORMON. The exploitational and hateful behavior of Caucasians has little to do with "culture" and more to do with an inner psychological drive to dominate and mistreat people of color. Which is why no matter WHAT "culture" you drop Caucasians off in...their behavior will pretty much be the same. A high intelligence just gives them the ABILITY to carry out those exploitational and hateful tendencies with exceptional successfulness. But I have to admit that was a pretty slick operation you pulled off to make your point.
  11. "Well I can pretty much say with confidence that it doesn't matter who wins the election, at this point. I'm gonna remain beautiful under either Administration." .....lol.
  12. In the immortal words of Master P.... "I'm 'bout it! I BEEN 'bout it!" I've been recommending this site to people for years. I rarely mention this actual discussion board, but the site itself get's much respect. It's actually becoming more and more popular because as time goes on I've ran into more people who already know about AALBC when I bring it up to them. "Oh, you're talking about that Black book site? Yeah, I fuck with them sometimes when I have to order a book I need for class." A LOT of people know about this site. If I had the money I would establish an endowment for Troy's AALBC and a number of other AfroAmerican businesses that I feel are essential for our community. Davey D and his online Hiphop archive is another brother who needs to be endowed and supported. We should have an institution that just sends so many hundreds or thousands a month to our iconic establishments to ensure they continue to operate smoothly and grow. That's what a lot of Jewish people do with THEIR institutions. Just GIVE them money to stay afloat and prosper, that's all. Not necessarily expecting anything else in return besides the peace of mind to know you're still around. This is a totally different subject than the one you started the thread over but let me briefly say, when we speak of the Great Reset.....understand that it means different things to different people. Kind of like the "New World Order". The chaos that many experts are expecting as a result of this election mixed with the Covid 19 policies WILL bring about a Great Reset in this nation but while the White Supremacists are expecting an opportunity to consolidate their power....I strongly believe that in this period WE (AfroAmericans) are the ones who will prevail. The Great Reset will benefit US as AfroAmericans. While White Supremacy will continue to exist around the globe in OTHER places for quite some time- I believe....don't know....that atleast in the United States White Supremacy will end up destroying much of it OWN self from in-fighting which will allow US to emerge as the new rulers of this particular land. It's not far off either.
  13. Gibran It's like the adage that if, as an entertainer, you can make it at the Apollo, you can make it anywhere Great analogy. This is one of the reasons I wish Showtime AT The Apollo was still on. That rowdy crowd was a REAL litmus test as to how great you are. Besides, I kind of miss Kiki Shepard. That girls was like...70 years old....and still walking out on stage in sexy outfits, lol. We have this thing we like to ponder about if you put a hustler in the jungle and a corporate brother, the street brotha would survive (What do you think?) It's like the question FAS asked in another thread, there are a lot of variable unmentioned that would really help in making a more accurate determination. However with the limited information given, I would have to say the STREET brother because he's probably more prepared both physically AND mentally. He probably came from poverty and not having much to eat. He probably won't panic too much over dying since he's probably faced death a few times and his confidence is built up. And he most likely has experience killing, lol. Another thing about violent people and violent acts, and this probably relates more to those in PRISON than those on the STREETS since prison often grabs people from various walks of life........ Many violent people are violent not JUST because of how they grew up or what they were forced to do, but because of certain brain chemistries and testosterone levels. I knew kids back in elementary school who were stabbing people. Some were from good homes, others weren't. It was just "in" them. If being violent and cold blooded is "in" you then no matter how well you were raised, what environment you find yourself in, or how old you are.....it'll come out one way or another. I'm sure in the pen you ran into killers who came from pretty middle class backgrounds. They didn't kill over dope or any hustle games, but over petty disputes and hot tempers. It was just "in" them. Get up in face of the wrong sissy. You can talk shit and ridicule his sexual preference but when you go too far, you gonna find yourself in a fight but not with someone who fights like a girl. You find out you're fighting a real man who got real skills with his hands. Sweet Thang be done reverted back to instinct and you dealing with a monster. First we would have to have a common definition of "sissy". Most guys use the term for ANY homosexual man, but after years of having lived in Atlanta and running across a variety of sexual orientations....lol...I've learn to separate them into categories. It seems to me that you have 2 major categories of homosexual men: 1. Gay men who act like MEN. 2. Gay men who act like WOMEN. There are a lot of hard core masculine brothers walking around who are as gay as a rainbow....but you wouldn't know it based ONLY on his day to day behaviors. He looks and acts like any other man, but he likes dick....lol. It's the gay men who act like WOMEN that I call "sissies". He's the one walking around snapping and switching and talking with a "lisp". "Uh-uhhhhh baby... You can't out run ALL of us!" BTW..... I've also learned that just because a man acts like a woman it doesn't necessarily mean he's gay. Took me a while to believe it, but I realized it was true. A lot of men talk with lisps, act feminine and lady like but LOVE women and can't get enough. For whatever reasons a part of his brain was activated that influences him to act more like a woman than a man. I've never been in prison, but based on my conversations with those who have it seems that a lot of men are BI-SEXUAL They like both men AND women. But they don't realize this UNTIL they end up in prison and after sexual encounters with other men, discover they like it. They too can be either feminine or masculine. But having said all that..... Ofcourse, it goes without saying a gay dude can kick ass about as good as any straight one. It just depends on the person, their strength, skill, courage, and other factors. All of what I just laid out also applies to women, btw.
  14. I admit I do that a lot. However, I've learned from experiences that if you just let people talk long enough you'll eventually get the answers you want from them AND MORE, lol.
  15. FAS The question was not about the employees being satisfied or not. By "they" being satisfied I was referring to owner #1. You said they were satisfied and lived well off of their profits. Anyway....I gave MY answer. Troy FAS I can't tell which owner is more intelligent, but I can tell you I would like to be the owner of and work for company #1. That's what I'm saying...... It's hard to make an ACCURATE assessment of which is more intelligent with such a limited amount of information about them. If the goals of both owners was to maximize wealth, controlling for all other variables, one could easily argue owner #2 is more intelligent given she is more successful at generating more more profits. But according to FAS's scenario "long term" stategies weren't a consideration....only the here and now. If we were to figure what would be the most intelligent LONG TERM strategy I would easily say #1 because treating your employees properly is the wisest strategy for long term success because it keeps things stable....but it didn't matter in this scenario. America is optimized to encourage owner #2's, which is one reason wealth disparity is so high, workers are under so much strife, and our best and brightest clamor work for the likes of Facebook. True. Which is why the U.S. economy is under a perpetual state of collapse and must depend on usually harder working and/or better educated IMMIGRANT labor from Latin America, India, and East Asia to provide a continuous supply of workers to fill in the vacancies left by U.S. citizens who no longer capable of performing for various reasons.
  16. I said he stabbed them, but he didn't kill either one......as far as I know. But even at his age, he was still a physically firm dude so he still had the strength to do it! But according to those who knew about it, no.....it wasn't necessarily self defense it was an argument over business and somebody lying. He got locked up (again....he was locked up in his early youth but was free for OVER 60 years) so I wasn't able to hear from him what actually happened.
  17. Agent Orange is going to cry foul and dispute the election anyway. Del, be glad you're in Australia right about now.....lol.
  18. Gibran Now don't get me wrong. I know there are a lot of strong, intelligent, and thorogh brothers out in the streets as well as on the yard. I realize that. I just caution our people not to put TOO much faith in the gangstaz, thugs, and hustlers to protect them or stand up to authority and fight back if our community was ever attacked. You're expecting the brother on the corner with an Uzi to help you fight back...and he's somewhere hiding under a car! Look at Breonna Taylor and all of the killing of our innocent brothers and sisters that have been going on lately! How many "gangstaz" and street dudes have handled any business in that regard? Breonna Taylor's ex BOYFRIEND was supposedly a big time gangster (he had good taste in women because Breonna was fine as all "get out"....lol ). But he didn't use his connections to do a damn thing about Breonna's death. You mean to tell me they shot one of your women to pieces and you call yourself a "gangster" and all you can do is cry and shake your head about it? Some of these clowns are hard as hell when it comes to other Black people. They'll shoot another Black man simply for looking at him the wrong way at a party, but when a racist kills his own mother while she's driving home from work....he goes on CNN and starts crying. "Ahhhhhhaaaaa..... Why dey do dat??? Why dey shoo her so many times????" Nah..... I ain't putting my faith in these sorry ass niggaz. No sir. The only thing I EXPECT many of them to do is turn around and run away when they start hearing sirens. And if they do anything on the plus side of that I'll be pleasantly surprised and appreciative. They wanted to disrupt our ability to make our own choices and they did this by forcing prisoners to have to get permission to do anything from a phone call, to buying a radio, to getting a job. Everything decision made inside is made for the prisoner or the choice is so limited, it is not much of a choice. Case in point. After ten years in the feds, I had been out about twenty minutes when I went to get something for my dreads. I went inside a store and when I spied all the hair care products, I almost passed out literally. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't think. It was brain overload and due to the extra mental stimulation, I was emotionally distressed. In prison, we only had 3 choices when it came to hair care. And now all this. No lie. I practically ran out of the store. I was unable to choose. Without someone to tell me what to do, I was lost. It takes a while to shake the fog of prison off, and once you understand how dehumanized you have been, the search is on to piece yourself back together. Now that was a VERY deep story right there! You never fail to amaze me in relating your personal experiences and observations! Troy but you will definitely find leaders among these Brothers, if the attribute is nourished. Something mainstream American culture is not too keen on doing. This is true. However they usually have to be caught young....before puberty. In order to drill in the proper values and respect for authority (Black authority) so that their strength and energy can be properly channeled. Or else it will most likely be self destructive. It'll be like trying to take a WOLF and turn him into a Golden Retriever....lol. The Nation of Islam tends to be very successful to a certain extent but in reality that strong SURVIVAL INSTINCT and SELFISH RUTHLESSNESS that the streets tend to instill in a lot of people doesn't really go away. It's only covered up, only to resurface in times of stress. A friend of mine who grew up on the streets of East Oakland and moved to Portland. He live a peaceful life for over 60 years and even owned a couple businesses; but at 83 years old during some sort of dispute he ended up STABBING another man and his brother! That "Oakland ghetto" resurfaced.....lol.
  19. Troy As far as I'm concerned, things are going just fine. Trump is crying foul and saying that the election is a fraud. He's probably going to dispute the election result. He's stirring up his racist red-neck base to cause chaos. Yes sir, things are going EXACTLY in the direction I like them to...so far.
  20. Actually...... I misspoke when I said Caucasians tend to be more self-disciplined. What I actually meant to say was they tend to be emotionally weaker and are less rebellious and strong willed than people of color. They are more RECESSIVE and although not always usually tend to be WEAKER physically and mentally (excluding intelligence). Which means they usually put up LESS RESISTENCE to leadership and following orders. People of color on the other hand....especially those of African and Native American descent...tend to be very emotional and emotionally strong willed and even rebellious at times. Tell a Black man what to do......sometimes he'll start grinning and do the opposite JUST TO SEE what you'll do about it. "Ah nigga what YOU go do about it if I don't? Besides get knocked out?" Sometimes you have to make a couple phone calls and threaten to nuke his entire block just to get him to respect you and cooperate...lol. But it's how a lot of us are! We respect STRENGTH. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said that the Black man was hard headed, stiff necked, and rebellious. Hard to lead in the right direction. People love to criticize Joe Jackson (Michael Jackson's father) and Serena Williams' father because these Black men were seen as abusive and too hard on their children. But most people don't understand that usually a Black father HAS to be hard on his children and whip their ass and instill fear of failure in them and respect for authority in them in this White Supremacist society! A good Black father KNOWS how to tame the strength of that young lion in his house! Whip his son's ass good a few times and threaten to half kill him.....he'll grow up to be a FINE young man! If you try to raise him the way White folks TELL you to....that little nigga'll cut your throat in bed while you're sleeping! You have to know how to FOCUS a Negro's genius or this society will make him use it for self-destructive purposes. We need to stop standing around scratching our heads so much over WHY we act the way we act and do more accepting it and looking for ways to make it work for us. African peoples have a very strong and often times rebellious spirit that requires a STRONG almost dictatorial, charismatic, and flamboyant leader to charm us and force us to keep order and stay in line. You may say this is extreme, but when our emotional power and resilience is channeled in the RIGHT direction we become the most powerful and productive people on Earth! "No no, you got something in your eye. Let me help you get it out!"
  21. Gibran lack folks simply crave a sense of normalcy, however that is perceived. I don't know why. What's so good about "normal" in THIS society for most AfroAmericans that they have such a desire to get back to it? I can understand why most Caucasians want to get back to normal....because normal is GREAT for most of them! They'd rather get Covid 19 and keel over dead, than be forced to wear a mask and put their money making on hold. "Jeez Loueez.... Come on guys, let's open back up! Fer' cryin' out loud.... What's the hold up?" White folks are literally DYING to get back to normal! My question is, what "pot of gold" are niggaz waiting to get back to? Besides more poverty, violence, incarceration, and humiliation? My bad.....OFCOURSE they want to get back to "normalcy" because oppression and humiliation is NORMAL to a slave. Most AfroAmericans have been squared away into a subservient position where nearly ALL of their decisions are made by other people for so long they have been essentially "institutionalized", and some are paralyzed with fear at the thought of a break down in the society that has been sheltering them from responsibility. Mel The quoted is the only part that reminds me of the "Meet the new boss. The same as the old boss," from "Won't get fooled again" by The Who. A society without clearly established rules (morals, laws, ethics, ect....call it what you like) only leads to more confusion and disorder. Perhaps a man feels he should have the right to have sex with any woman who consents to it. But one of the women who consented just HAPPENS to have a violently jealous husband! If there are no well defined rules that are PROPERLY ENFORCED (unlike what we have today) what would prevent that jealous husband from going on a bloody rampage? So yeah, until we reach perfection as a people....we need rules and the proper enforcement of them. FAS Does anyone else have a problem differentiating between the concepts of Culture and Intelligence? Does anyone else (besides you) thinks it even matters? Besides, culture is a REFLECTION of the group's collective intelligence. Usually....... High Intelligence = High Culture Company/business #1: Owner make a good profit, are satisfied with that profit, and live well off their millions. Owner create a workplace environment (culture) where employees are happy and make a living wage. Company/business #2: Owner make billions, and live the lifestyle of the rich and famous off their profits. Owner micro-manage, denigrate and a create a stressful environment (culture) for their employees and, to increase the owners' profits, pay them minimum wage, Which owner is most "intelligent?" Oh, and the question is based on end resutl, which owner is most intelligent, NOT in the future or the long-run, but right now. I'm glad you added that LAST line, it totally affected my response. The "end results" part at the beginning of it was a bit confusing but since only the here-and-now matters to them....it helps by eliminating the consideration of any long term strategies. There are a lot of "unknown" factors about the two owners that would have really helped me to opine which was the more intelligent, however given ONLY the information you provided I would have to say #1. Simply because you say they are SATISFIED and LIVED WELL. That is success as far as I'm concerned. And if you are smart enough to be successful in what you're doing and manage to live a well life, you are very intelligent in my opinion.
  22. Mel When the colonists fought the british for their independence - they didn't change their way of life. There was no complete overthrow of government. They just broke free of their 'mother' and continued much of the same. So although they called it a 'revolution' it wasn't that at all. The U.S. constitution replaced the monarchy with a sovereign state. Ofcourse..... This is why Neely Fuller Jr. says that the System of White Supremacy is the only REAL government on the planet. All of the other so-called governments are just "branches" or extensions of it who may change up their name or label....but the goals and values are the same. The United States and Canada are controlled by the same elite group of White Supremacist "royal" families that control the rest of Europe. And THEY are united in controlling the rest of the planet. I've been saying this for years and have explained this to Africans and Asians who want to argue over when and by what methods their nations gained their so-called "independence" . I ask them how are they independent when they not only rely on their former colonizers for financial assistance and military protection.....but also still maintain the GOVERNMENTAL STRUCTURE that their colonists left in place before physically vacating the land? Anytime your prime ministers, legislators, and judges are STILL wearing blonde wigs: "And now for the question we're all assembled together to ask..... The important question we all want to know..... Which way did the White people go? .....how can you fix your mouth to declare yourself "free and independent"???? Your ass is STILL defacto colonized regardless of what's written down on paper, lol. So we need a totally NEW system. Not just a new government but a new legal, moral, and ethical code. You'll know when the bullshit is coming to an end when the national borders in Africa are being RE-DRAWN based on the historic and traditional ethnic boundaries that existed before colonization. And the laws and morals of each jurisdiction will reflect those pre-colonial laws and morals of the indigenous populations. But that would only be a START. Ultimately there must be a new moral and legal code each group would have to adopt to help them usher in more stable and progressive societies.
  23. Daniel What are you saying I changed from and to? From: Trump Worshipping Children's Books Author To: Wood Chopper, Ditch Digger, and Field Hand "Man..... Wish I woulda saw THIS coming!" .....lol.
  24. This might sound good to some, but this will not happen Not only that..... But a more morally based question that I have is SHOULD it happen? Should private Caucasian individuals and their companies be FORCED to support AfroAmerican "competition"????? .....as opposed to that support coming from FEDERAL funding, which is usually how reparations funding is distributed. In other words... Why would the Federal government who has all of the money in the world at IT'S disposal ask private White individuals to give THEIR money to Black folks? It seems to me that type policy would be only good for whipping up anger and hatred AGAINST those it was intended to help. And perhaps that would be the REAL intention all along. Not to actually HELP AfroAmericans but actually send more hate and resentment their way by suggesting the penalization of "innocent" Caucasians in the name of economic equality. It's has a "defund the police" ring to it. Just like earlier this year people in the media kept talking about defund and dismantle police departments. They had no plans for actually DOING it.....they just publically talked about it over and over again. The only effect it had was causing anger and resentment among police officers. ....which most of us suspect was the REAL intention of even talking about it in the first place.
