ProfD Black folks have been victims and perpetrators of colorism for 100s of years. True. But it kinda died down in OUR community in the late 80s. You don't hear about the paper bag tests anymore...lol. Nowadays, these young folks like NFL QB Patrick Mahomes and RB Saquon Barkley and others aren't being demonized for having white wives and mixed offspring. That's because many of THEM are MIXED THEMSELVES! PATRICK MAHOMES I don't call mixed people "Black" for this very reason. It just adds to the confusion and eventually decimation. You have people who are not just mixed but CLEARLY mixed with yellow skin, keen features, and wavy hair talking about how proud they are to be "Black". They've never been profiled by a cop, called ugly, called nappy headed.....but will sit up and talk about how it is to be "Black in America"...lol. Next, these same mixed people get with White partners and have even WHITER offspring and have the nerve to call THEM "Black" too...lol. Migration and wars have led to millions of mixed race folks running around. True. Actually, that has been one of the tactics OF war and colonization. The conquering race would produce mixed children with the women of the subjugated race to help them oppress the rest of the conquered population. White people hold the keys to power and money. Some folks are going to gravitate towards them for access to it. That, and to simply have children who look more like White people. Some of them will hop in bed with a poor and stupid White man, as long as he can make a baby.

I don't recall him doing this during any of his Hidden Colors series films. Infact, he gave a lot of props to Africa and hipped us to a lot of African history. Now every show is anti-African and anti-Democrat -CONSISTENTLY, lol. I don't care what the topic is or what he STARTS to talk about, he eventually finds a way to start bashing African immigrants and those who come from them and make that the theme for the remainder of the show. Now everytime he mentions a White person like a judge or neighbor or guest....he praises them and talks about how "cool" or "good" they are. Pay attention to it next time you hear him. I heard him do a show recently talking about how cool his White neighbors are and how they keep his dogs when they go on vacation. WTF???? Something went wrong somewhere.

Remember I said pay attention to my words VERY carefully.....lol I didn't say HE'D usher in our success and enlightenment.

Being willing to DEFEND your wealth is one part of it. I'd say only one half of it. Being able to BUILD/GENERATE it comprises the other half. Outside of China and North Korea, most socialist states aren't good at generating wealth and producing goods and services. They are good at REDISTRIBUTING them once they've taken them from somebody who HAS produced them. We need to learn a lesson how to NOT be like most socialist systems and make sure we can build our own products and provide our own services from the ground up instead fighting eachother over White left-overs.

ProfD No way 50 million FBA/AfroAmericans can be deported anywhere. Not in 2.8 years. The racists don't PLAN on deporting us. Their plan is to DECIMATE the AfroAmerican population through the tricks they've been using like drugs, incarceration, and out right killing. But only more intensely. I believe all h8ll would break loose if a massive number of FBA/AfroAmericans come up missing. Our people would tear up and burn this sh8t down. They've already locked up Black folks by the millions over the past several decades and there hasn't been much resistance. What you're seeing now is a psychological operation to lay the cover for genocide or racial tayloring. Everything Trump and MAGA does....you see these same group of Black people finding a way to justify or ignore it. Never criticize it, just either justify it or if it's too egregious and outrageously racist....simply ignore it and focus on some other topic. As I said before, the same ones sitting up grinning and tossing popcorn in their mouths watching what happens to Africans will be the SAME niggas sitting up grinning at other AfroAmericans/FBA as they get arrested. And instead of calling them "tether" they'll be calling them "coon" or "Democrat shill" or some other name. THEM niggaz ain't gonna burn up shit....but the popcorn as they sit back and watch angry White men do their thing. Their voices reach a small number of Black folks than there are Black conservatives who agree with this sh8t. Neither population is significant enough to make a difference im what's happening to immigrants being deported. They are being backed by racist Conservative organizations to put a Black face on anti-immigration rhetoric. If Tucker Carlson supports you.....you KNOW there's a problem....lol.

You're right, we shouldn't be. However the Black population itself is the real target....both FBA and non-FBA. They're focusing on the Black immigrant population FIRST to test the waters and see the public reaction, especially the reaction of FBAs who number in the tens of millions. And to be honest, the shit I'm hearing from some of these niggaz online doesn't sound too promising. I agree with you that we should STAY OUT of it. But as I've said time and time again, many of these clowns in the New Black Media the so-called Delineation Movement are GETTING involved anyway. And they're siding with Trump and MAGA.

richardmurray hmm I don't think anything , anything is easy. Doable? yes, positive possibility? yes, positive probability in attempt? yes... Easy? never, nothing is easy. well, is any government smart? a government isn't one person... no government in human history is one person, the myth of the tyrannical madman controlling all on a throne is just that,an untrue myth. To say any government is smart or dumb is to suggest an average of mentality which can not be proven. Smart and dumb are relative to what the subject is being compared to. If a group of people had enough sense to establish control over the masses (the very definition OF a government) then they were obviously smart, compared TO those masses. you made a statement, this is the economic corner, tell me one thing they provide that is needed. I repeated the list you can copy and paste and simply write the one needed thing each provide.

They aren't ABSOLUTELY necessary like food, clothing, shelter, and healthcare....but they are necessary for our modern way of life. In some respects, you seem to be condemning the very technology and standard of living the allows you to comfortably get your point across....lol. I had a friend who was a staunch socialist and condemned corporations left and right....but every time I saw her she kept a tall cup of Starbucks coffee and Frappuccino in her hand, lol. She'd hang out in Starbucks banging away on her Apple laptop/tablet running down the very system she enjoyed....lol.

aka Contrarian I haven't THANKED you enough! Right! ...and I need to STOP doing that so much! Yeeeaahhh but you're NOT a regular poster! You're something and someone much much more! You're unique. A one time "Cynique"! ......a talented column writer, postal in all-types-of-weather deliverer, flag pole singer, salad days dancer, hive observer, discussion board commentator....and the best is yet to come! 🙂

frankster As seen through the lens of both the Monroe Doctrine and the Roosevelt Corollary....the actions taken by The President is neither Illegal or Unconstitutional. The Monroe Doctrine and Roosevelt Corollary aren't even laws let alone constitutional articles. They were just words of bravado to boost confidence. Kind of like the saying, "The only thing to fear is fear itself". It sounds good and boosts the confidence, but it's not law. The Monroe Doctrine and Roosevelt Corollary were designed for 2 purposes: 1. To boost the confidence of those who had reasonable doubt about the legality of military actions taken. 2. To confuse the public masses who aren't very educated on the legal system and especially Constitutional law. The Constitution is clear that IT is the supreme law of the land, regardless of any state or federal laws made contrary to it: But if the masses are kept ignorant of this, then they can whip out new "laws" left and right contrary to the Constitution and enforce THEM instead of the actual Constitution itself and the public wouldn't be any the wiser. Might Makes Right....Privileges are granted. If you grant yourself a privilege it becomes a right as long as you can defend it....it is the law of the jungle Exactly. In the jungle...in the wild....the only "sin" is weakness. And punishment for that sin is often swift and unforgiving. In Warning, Biggie Smalls said: "he had a gat he shoulda pack it" The Power of the Constitution is only as Strong as how Willing and Able the People of US are to Enforce and Apply it. Exactly. And this is where personal ethics and morality....or lack there of...lol....come into play. You see "I see it a little different How so? Separation of State and Federal....States Powers or States Rights Remember, rights are GRANTED by a higher power. You don't have a "right" unless someone gives it to you. Even if you're born with it, it was granted to your parents and given to THEM by some power. States have both powers and rights, granted to them BY the Constitution. But the rights and powers of the Federal government SUPERCEDE those rights and powers. It is working just fine for some Make sure you pay attention to my words VERY carefully..... Trump being in office will EVENTUALLY work out greatly for AfroAmericans. The road will be a little bumpy along the way but eventually his Presidency will lead the path to a beautiful new age of success and enlightenment for AfroAmericans.

Cynique "Thinking outside the box" is fine if you are of a mind to do a lot of work and shoulder a lot of responsibility and stake claims on crtical thinking. And, come to think of it, I never met a conspiracy theorist who didn't brag about "thinking outside the box"... so, there's that. And thanks FOR that 😉 I KNEW you were paying attention to our exchange. You always do...lol. But your little commentary and the mini-autobiography of your writing and singing career was a bonus. Thank you again for it.....I mean it. 🙂

frankster No.... Not true as seen by US past behavior... Much of the behavior both past and present is ILLEGAL and INCORRECT. They aren't abiding by the Constitutional laws. They're ignoring them. Roosevelt Corollary....The US reserve the Right to act as an International Police - especially in cases involves US Laws and Interests and the Western Hemisphere. Us being the International Police isn't a "right"...it's a PRIVILEDGE...granted to us by our superior military power. When you have the strongest and best weapons, you can call yourself whatever you like because nobody will try to stop you. Stopping those will not increase their personal and national money flow It's not just dope....and there is a lot of money in that Its more about Oil True. Also about maintaining instability in those nations. The key is to keep fighting and turmoil going on so that the nations stay divided and constantly at war with eachother. Children who come from a peaceful and stable household tend to do better in school and end up more successful in life than children who come from broken unstable homes plagued with violence and chaos. So it is with nations. And rules and loop holes that loose his authority. And freed by how they choose to interpret and apply them Both these statements are true, especially the second one. Although a lot of laws and "doctrines" that contradict the Constitution have been made, it's clear that the Constitution technically and by law is THE law of the land and is superior to any other law or doctrine that is enacted. However it's only as strong as it's enforcement. If the Constitution is clear that ONLY Congress can declare war but the President or hell...even a local mayor...declares war anyway and: 1. The troops actually LISTEN to him 2. Congress stands by and watches him do it and do nothing about it. -then that Constitutional law means nothing. Yes.... But that's how it's been....has it? I believe early in our nation's history, yes. Certainly not since WWII. Yes WPR is a loop hole or escape clause. It allows the President to use military force without notifying Congress for a period of time...without it being unconstitutional. Correct, it does. But IT is Unconstitutional in and of itself. That Resolution directly contradicts the Constitution and should have never been enacted. Kind of like how many states now legalize Marijuana but the Federal government clearly makes it illegal. States shouldn't have been allowed to legalize something the Federal government has clearly made illegal because it sets up confusion. The Federal government should have gotten involved and investigated those in state legislatures who introduced bills to enact such. Instead they were allowed to pass those laws....to confuse the public. Likewise, that WPR confuses the public and even some politicians because it SEEMS to grant the President powers that he DOESN'T have according to the Constitution. But when the public questions the politicians as to why the President was allowed to do this....they'll point to the WPR. True How many times have they tried and failed to impeach this current President. What does that tell you? It tells me that things are going as planned...lol.

Chev Yes, I was wrong and sometimes fail to address the labels correctly. That wasn't meant to be a critique or a correction....lol....just an observation based on some of the information I read about her. I don't dare correct YOU, unless you start talking about "Black Caucasians" and blue-eyed Africans and things of that nature. Then I have to sit you down and give you a glass of water or something...lol. Let somebody else speak. If you look at the video of her being shot, there was a woman standing there with a phone who said: "You just shot my wife" Interesting relationship dynamic going on. I just can't believe this has happened. I can. Under Trump....I certainly can. I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner. I told you they're actually restraining themselves, waiting for more AfroAmericans to participate. I do hear some Black leaders say that it is not our problem and to stay out of it. But, I think we need to think about this one. Don't worry, AfroAmericans will be involved in it soon enough. That's what it's really about anyway. It's an attempt to reduce the Black population. They flooded Minneapolis to go after the Black African immigrants but so many White folks jumped in the way that some of them end up catching strays themselves. The protestors are really hoping that Black Americans start getting involved because everybody knows protests and demonstrations are pretty much ineffective until WE show up in large numbers. Because we ain't playing and acting when WE get involved. Oooooohhhh....it's serious business when AfroAmericans get involved, and the whole world knows that.

Tariq Nasheed is my boy and is on point with much of his commentary, but THIS shit............... These are the thumbnails for his recent topics. Nearly all of his topics now a days are about Africans and making fun of them. There's a civil war brewing in America and THIS is what he finds time to focus on? Insulting Africans? Insulting Black Democrats? It's not just him, but dozens of other niggaz on social media....focused on the same thing. Not Reparations. Not the racism of MAGA. Not concrete solutions to the problems of our community. Clowning on other Black folks...is THEIR focus. They are literally joining up with Trump and MAGA and attacking Africans and even other FBA.

Mel Sho'll do...... Because as much as I'd love to take credit for learning how to think outside of the box, I have to give credit to where credit is due. I've been an avid reader all of my life and one of my favorite authors is NAPOLEON HILL. His work is what inspired me to start "making up" opportunities where none SEEMED to existed.

Mel Interesting you mention this, because I've been doing this since my 20s....lol. I've literally INVENTED jobs for myself in many workplaces. I "made up" the position I have right now....lol. The facility got a new manager from Germany a couple years ago and most new facility managers and presidents want to make a name for themselves by starting everything all over again new. I took advantage of this knowledge by whipping up a proposal selling him one of my ideas to start a new position (that naturally paid more and involved less physical work than the one I formerly had....😉..lol) in the company. Not only did he accept it as a great idea but he decided to build an entirely new department on it and hired more people to fill that department. My idea helped many other people find employment. I can produce nearly a dozen examples of this. People don't understand the sheer power and glory that comes from simply thinking outside of the box.

frankster Drug Cartels....is that a Law Enforcement issue? It depends on their location. If it's INSIDE our nation or on one of our territories (like a U.S. military base) or anywhere our laws have jurisdiction....it's a law enforcement issue. If it's outside of our Federal Jurisdiction in other countries....then no. Any attempt to force OUR laws on other nations becomes a MILITARY issue. If they want to enforce some of our laws on other nations, use them to stop child marriages over in Asia and Africa first. End chattel slavery in North Africa and the Middle East. We'll worry about the dope later....lol. The President also is Commander in Chief of the Military....as a result can order the military to use force where and when he see fit While he is commander and chief...he can't order the military to use for where and when he sees fit because there are LAWS that bound his authority. Just like a commander OR chief of a police department can't use the city's police force as he sees fit. He's bound by the laws of the city and the limits of his position. Once Congress has declared law....THEN he can command them. ....atleast that's how it's supposed to operate, lol. It's a technicality instead of a Declaration of War.....It's An Authorization under the War Powers Resolution. The War Powers Resolution is a FEDERAL LAW. Legally speaking, Federal laws are SUBSERVIENT to the powers of the U.S. Constitution. The U.S. Constitution supercedes ALL laws in the land. ....atleast that's how it's supposed to operate, lol. Hope is just as Good....Expect is a little stronger In his particular case, "expectation" was a little too presumptuous...lol. I think it was more of an attempt at Resource grab on the behave of the Corporatocracy.. I actually thought about this as I was typing my response to you, then I thought: 🤔 -What resources does Vietnam have that we really need? Besides heroine, maybe? It's not like they have a lot of gold or oil. I think they were just more on the tip of trying to help out their French brothers, check Communism, and find something for the young men on the streets of America to do. You can look at it like a business or corporation. The President is supposed to be the CEO of America....not the owner. He was hired to MANAGE the business, not decide what the business will be. He doesn't decide which nations we go after or who we use the military on. That's Congress' decision. Once it's BEEN decided.....then his role as Commander and Chief is to manage the military in that conflict.

One of the things I take away from this tragedy is that when we aren't around, White folks begin to turn on and attack eachother. Many people have commented that they really hate like hell that Black folks for the most part are staying out of this conflict....so far. Most of the violence and demostrations have been White people with a few Asians and Latinos sprinkled here and there. If you see some Black folks out in the crowd protesting they're usually either a lover that some White protestor dragged out there to be with them OR a Somali demonstrator. AfroAmericans have stayed out of it; which probably explains why despite the recent shootings law enforcement in general have been rather restrained....so far.

ProfD It's a choice no different from Black men kicking it with non-Black women...white, Asian, Indian, Persian, Latina, etc. That's not much of a choice either. White women and light skinned women have been held up as THEE standard of beauty for hundreds of years in this society. Black men and other men of color who choose White women OVER their own women or simply choose the lightest skinned women within their own groups are victims of conditioning/programming as well. Both the men of color AND women of color have been programmed/conditioned to see White people as "ideal". When you have this mentality, you're really not happy or satisfied with your own kind. You merely TOLERATE them if you can't get what you really want, which is the "white ideal". There's no shortage of Black male athletes and entertainers grinning and smiling with their non-Black women. True. But it's not promoted. Infact, it's often demonized. Look how many Black men have gotten in legal trouble dealing with White women from Shannon Sharpe to Kobe Bryant to the brutha from UofM who just went to jail. They make sure to make an example of Black men for fucking with White women. When was the last time a White man went to jail or even got into ANY kind of trouble from dealing with Black women? Remember when Russell Simmons was married to Kimora Lee. They plastered pictures of them everywhere. Same goes for Nick Cannon & Mariah Carey and Diddy & J. Lo. I do remember the relationship, but I don't remember it being advertised much in the media. Infact, remember it being demonized.....and rightly so IMO...by many media outlets. She was only 14 or 15 when he started kicking it with her. Black women are doing the same thing as Black men. I wouldn't blame social conditioning. I believe it is a matter of proximity, access and preference. All of those are factors as well. I'm not dismissing them. However if you look at most interracial romances....especially those among celebrities and in the public...they all have a central theme: White women/men are at the center of them. You don't see too many Blacks with Asians, Asians with Meztizoes, Meztizoes with Indians, Indians with Asians, or Asians with Native Americans. When was the last time you saw a Black man and Eskimo woman rubbing noses together trying to make some friction? China and India are right next to eachother. How many Chinese men do you see chopping it up with Hindu women? You don't see true racial harmony. What you see is people of all races trying to snuggle up to and get closer to the White race.

Is it really a "choice" when you've been brainwashed/conditioned since childhood to see White men as THEE ideal man and the standard for other men to be like; as well as your savior? Like Neely Fuller Jr. said, if we weren't living under a system of Racism where they teach the children from childbirth that White is "supreme"....I would have no problem with it. It would simply be a case of "boy meets girl". But that's NOT the case in this system. Why don't you find Asian female or Eastern European female tennis players playing around with Black male tennis players like that and them promoting THOSE interactions in the media as being innocent and playful? It's clear as day that they're trying to spark a romance between those two as well as encourage other successful Black female athletes to do the same.

UuuuuHuuuuuh......... They're really trying to whip up a romance between those two. What Coco Gauff did when Taylor Fritz drifted off to sleep, 'Can't even…' Team USA’s United Cup campaign has brought plenty of memorable moments on court, but Coco Gauff’s latest off-court clip with Taylor Fritz might just be the funniest yet. The world number four was seen in a light-hearted video showing Fritz fast asleep, and her reaction quickly went viral. The two American stars have been part of the United Cup squad, where their chemistry has shone both in matches and during downtime. While Gauff has impressed with her performances in Sydney, she also showed her playful side during a travel day with her teammate. Coco Gauff’s hilarious prank on Taylor Fritz In a short clip shared on Instagram, Gauff can be seen next to Fritz, who is sleeping next to her, on the flight. Fans quickly flooded the comments, joking about Gauff’s mischievous sense of humor and the relaxed dynamic inside Team USA’s camp. The video, which has racked up thousands of views, perfectly captures the fun and camaraderie between the two Coco Gauff and Taylor Fritz take their “beef” to the next level When the clip began making the rounds online, Fritz took to social media to respond. “Can’t even sleep in peace anymore,” he joked, referencing the viral video. The comment was quickly met with laughs and replies from fans who sided with Gauff, calling the moment “too good not to share.” Gauff later followed up with her own playful response, writing, “3 hours of this,” implying that Fritz had been asleep for most of the journey. The exchange only added to the growing list of moments that have made Team USA one of the most entertaining squads at this year’s event. As the United Cup progresses, both players will look to keep their focus on the court, but for fans, the off-court chemistry between Gauff and Fritz continues to be a highlight. What Coco Gauff did when Taylor Fritz drifted off to sleep, 'Can't even…' They won't stop until they pull her away from the brutha she's already with and link her up next to some mop-headed White dude named "fritz". They HAVE to send a message to the young Black girls out there. "Hey ladies, you wanna be successful? Leave those Black guys alone! Leave 'em in the streets and get yourself a "Fritz" to SPRITZ up your life!"

Chev Funny you said she was a lesbian... Given the fact that she had 2 husbands, I'd consider her more "bi".....lol. But the fact that she was LGBT doesn't seem to be talked about in the news much. I'm surprised you mentioned it.

Mel I wonder if that's why Caesar created January 1 New Year - many businesses now end their fiscal year in December - Hmm. Europeans did that for the same reason they established a 12 month calendar instead of the 13 month calendar that was practiced by the ancient world since time immemorial. To throw the masses of people off and confuse them. Those in power have their own secret calendars and holy/i-days that are far more accurate and effective. I remember working for LaSalle Bank and we had a lot of extra cash to donate because December was the end of the fiscal year. Sounds like you did a little bit of everything...lol. I remember you being a news anchorwoman. Then you were an airline stewardess, kicking it with Bill Cosby. Then an author specializing in 'hood romance novels, lol. Now I'm hearing about you working in a bank and passing out the cash. I believe I asked you years ago how you became so successful and you said you "manifested" it. You're going to have to teach me some of those manifestation techniques....LOL. Oh snap the U.S. Government which is now 38.5 trillion dollars in debt fiscal year ends Sept 30. They start their new fiscal year during time period when the hours of sun light are decreasing instead of increasing, and they wonder why they are perpetually in debt...lol.

If you're operating with Windows 11, just put AALBC at the top of the list in your FAVORITES bar (the little star icon at the top of your page...lol) That way you don't have to scroll down through all of those right wing MAGA websites and podcast channels, and you can visit us directly!

That was the proverbial "your" for the victims of con artists in general; not an insinuation that YOU personally were greedy....lol. I don't know you well enough to call you greedy. What I DO know is that you're a shill for MAGA and the Racist Republican Party.

Del If it's pure chance then it cant be luck. Since chance is random. Although I listen to and read various perspectives....... Personally I'm of this belief myself. However I put both "good luck" and "favorable chance" under the category of FORTUNE. If something beneficial happens that was beyond our control, we don't know if it's luck or chance....but we know it was fortunate. So it is possible to be mathematical and mystical. Ofcourse. The two aren't incongruent. Infact, they are compatible because REAL magic often involves mathematics. What the Western world calls "magic" and "mysticism" is really HIGH SCIENCE that White folks haven't figured out yet...lol. If a bunch of Black folks deep down in the woods have been practicing it for thousands of years and won't tell White folks the secret...it's "magic". But if a White man in glasses and a white coat figures it out and maps out the formula (math) for it....now it's "science". Give him a prize for "discovering" it....LOL.
