  1. Rather than saying a lot of "women" thought Prince was very attractive, it would be more appropriate and specific to say a lot of "AFROAMERICAN women" thought Prince was sexy and very attractive! What do I mean? I'm almost certain that most women around the world, including most African and Caribbean women WOULD NOT find a feminine damn-near woman looking man "attractive" and sexy. They would think you were joking if you even showed them his picture and asked them. Hell, even most White women in the U.S. probably wouldn't. But because Prince was light skinned and kept his hair straight most of the time..... And because a lot of AfroAmerican women have been conditioned to subconsciously see White women as the epitome of beauty AS WELL as find light skinned men with straight hair attractive......then THEY find Prince attractive and sexy. Although I love and respect my sistaz......let's remember that AfroAmerican women aren't the ONLY women on this planet so what THEY find attractive doesn't always line up with what MOST women find attractive. Generations of conditioning have twisted the priorities of a lot of our sistaz to the point that what most women traditionally find attractive in a man.....muscles, deep voice, strength, etc....has been replaced by light skinned, straight hair, hazel eyes, and high pitched voice (Prince). Which explains why many prefer a PRETTY man over a MASCULINE man....a pathology.
  2. The Office only had one woman of color on that show and that was the Indian girl Mindy Kaling. She was the "stand-in Black girl". Back in the old days they used to get that ONE token Black person on a virtually all White show to fill the spot so there weren't too many complaints. Since the 80s, they've been replacing the token Black person with token Asians, Latinos, and Indians.....most of whom don't mind BEING tokens. They don't mind being used, as long as they get a chance to snuggle up next to Caucasians.
  3. ProfD I'm going to say something that you may think sounds silly at worse, and simply non-productive at best. It may make some of the most PRO-Black people's blood boil..... I don't call Kamala Harris "Black". Racially speaking, she's mixed. However I DO consider her and AfroAmerican ethnicly. And as long as she doesn't do anything in that office HARMFUL to AfroAmericans.....she's fine. ....as far as I'm concerned. I would LIKE AfroAmericans in positions of power to use those positions to help our people. But as long as they aren't HARMING our people, in my mind......just HOLDING an office is a victory in and of itself.
  4. Typical right-wing Conservative trick. Take a Liberal or Progressive principle and ADD to it and convolute it to the point that it's reputation is ruined. Turn the public against it....that's the tactic. See.... No one would be against the original meaning of the term "woke" or "wake up". It simply means open your eyes to what's going on.. Who would be against that? Woke was a term that came from AfroAmericans which meant conscious....aware of the racism that exists in this society both explicit and institutionalized. Racist operatives who POSED as Liberals took the word, co-opted it...and started using it for every ridiculous cause they could dream up in order for their racist Conservative allies operating on the other side to justify smearing the image of the term. Just like they took Welfare and turned it into a "government hand out" insult. Or took Universal Healthcare and turned it into "Socialized Medicine". Brother Malik Shabazz (Malcolm X ) warned us about how slick these devils were and how they could use their media to make wrong seem right and right seem wrong. Make up seem down and down seem like up. Now they're figured out a slick way to put the masses BACK to sleep by making them cringe at the term "woke".
  5. Troy When you factor in mass incarceration, the very high homicide and very high suicide rate in the United States compared to 1923 and especially 1823.....you have to wonder HOW MUCH progress has really been made in terms of poverty, famine, and disease. They claim the poverty rate was higher 100 and 200 years ago, huh? Well how about the HOMELESS rate? How many HOMELESS people are around today....even when the increase in population is factored in....as compared to 100 and 200 years ago? Infact, how many homeless people even EXISTED in America in 1823??? Certainly less people are DYING of diseases today than in 1823....but how many people are GETTING diseases today compared to that time? A far higher percentage of people have gotten cancer in the 1990s than in 1823. A far higher percentage of people have gotten AIDS and other stds than in 1823. Far more people are depressed, bi-polar, and schizophrenic than in 1823. So really.....has THAT much progress been made?
  6. We BEEN known this fool was a problem, but the White folks support and protect him to push their agenda. I too am curious about what the women think, however I wouldn't be surprised if most women supported him. Not just because women tend to be more tolerant; but a lot of women in this society have been conditioned to prefer dealing with a FEMINIZED Black man over a MASCULINE one. Not all, but many. You see it at work, on the street, on television, etc....
  7. This is where CREATIVITY comes into play. AfroAmericans are some of the most Creative people on the planet, when we don't limit ourselves. What Black mayors and politicians period need to do is study the problems and use their CREATIVITY to come up with viable solutions for them instead of following the script handed to them by their Caucasian counterparts. Most White politicians know the solutions to most social problems, they PURPOSELY play dumb and ignorant because they don't really want to solve them. They maintain their system by keeping people of color in a state of constant chaos and confusion.
  8. I wish Detroit would elect another Black mayor and send that White outsider BACK outside to the suburbs where he belongs. Chicago, like a lot of large northern cities....is suffering from Black BRAIN-DRAIN. A lot of the smartest and most educated Black youth are leaving the city and heading down South to places like Atlanta, Charlotte, and Houston.....and out West to a lesser extent to places like Las Vegas and Phoenix. Black youth need to see a vibrant future for themselves in cities like Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, and Milwaukee.
  9. And ofcourse he WASN'T cuffed....and DIDN'T spend a week or even a damn NIGH behind bars. They didn't even put HANDCUFFS on the man for ceremonial purposes. Didn't even PRETEND to treat him like the average person. In the old days, they used to atleast PRETEND to treat these elites and big shots like the average citizen. Put a pair of cuffs on a person just for a photo-op.....show him with his hands raised in a suit. When the press leaves, they take them off of him. Now, they don't even do THAT. "Look at all of this love! The police love me! Hey! I keep tellin' you.....I can shoot a guy on 5th Avenue and won't spend a night in jail. What does it take for you guys to believe me....lol"
  10. May our brutha and father rest in power.
  11. Now it's reported that the man had seats to some sort of MMA fight....LOL UFC fighter absolutely bashes Joe Biden, praises Donald Trump (msn.com) Hit with 34 felony counts....but doesn't spend a NIGHT in jail. Doesn't even get house arrest. Hit with 34 felony counts....but he can go around giving inflammatory speeches and attending entertainment events enjoying celebrity status. This entire thing is a JOKE.....Trump is obviously being built up to be the next President and the "powers that be" he's always railing about are the very ones BUILDING HIM.
  12. Troy Well @Pioneer1 complaining about the situation has obviously not done anything to change things. Why do you think men bitching about it would have a different effect? Lol, well hell....you can ask that question about ANY subject people are discussing. Poverty has been in the world for thousands of years, what the purpose of bitching and complaining about it if it obviously hasn't gone anywhere? War.....disease....famine.......why waste time complaining about or even discussing ANY of these issues? Throw relationships in the mix as well. Women are women.....men are men....why are there entire websites and television shows focused on sex and male/female relationships alone???? Still, the fundamental issue is why do you care so much about who other people choose to love or spend their lives with. Why do you believe they should conform to you standard? For the same reason White and Latino and Black men WITH GOOD SENSE care......because we're intelligent enough to know that if we don't carefully watch who is snuggling up to and breaking to the ear of the women of our community.....pretty soon we won't HAVE a community. Just like a man who is a good father and good husband wants to know about every grown man who comes into his house, especially when he's not home. Who his wife and daughters are talking to and why. It really boils down to not just common sense....but GOOD SENSE period. The fact is, a lot of our people (both male and female) simply don't have good sense. "Hell naw....I ain't even WURRRED about who the bitches in my 'hood fuckin'. Na'm sayin'.....cuz I gets so much pussy myself, I'm busy tryna do ME! If dem White boys want some Black coochie, sheeyit....I'll even sell 'em some.....ha ha haaa.....na'm sayin'. Ain't NO shame in my game!" The same mentality that allows them NOT to care who the women in their community are associating and sleeping with is the SAME mentality that allows them not to care when people from other countries are brought to their community to take jobs, buy up property, and siphon wealth out of their community while they sit around smoking dope and getting high wondering why they can't find a job when they want one. They simply aren't intelligent enough to know and understand how certain behaviors effect their community and ultimately them. Which is why White folks, Arab, and other groups constantly take advantage of and exploit them. Most AfroAmerican men simply DON'T CARE.....until it's too late. They only men they are watching are EACHOTHER. @frankster Sorry my man...... But as THIS point, I can't even say racism is the biggest problem our community faces. I would have to say STUPIDITY is. Most other men CARE and want to CONTROL everything of value and worth in their communities, it's almost common sense to them.
  13. Troy it would appear it is Black women who should be displaying more jealously. Actually YES, they should! And they DO. I hear Black women speak out against interracial relationships FAR MORE than I hear Black men doing it. Another example of role reversals in our community.
  14. frankster Controls and Restrictions is not protection the need. Proper Nutrition, Education, Exercise and 🤨 ????? What is "proper" nutrition, education, and exercise if not a matter of CONTROLS and RESTRICTIONS? Controlling and restricting one's diet = nutrition Controlling and restricting one's information = education Controlling and restricting one's physical exertion = exercise No one deserves to be jealous and are resentful....those are emotion stemming from fear and inadequacies. Your book says: “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments” (Exod. 20:4-6). “For you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God” (Exod. 34:14). Are you suggesting the Lord's jealousy stems from "fear" or "inadequacy" as you claim? Hurt and Pain are real that cannot be denied....Jealousy and Resentment are Emotions to be Overcome. If the Lord is perfect, then why would His jealousy need to be "overcome"? I understand it is your opinion, but it is also an idea and ideas are often times more dangerous than we would want to accept. The idea of keeping Black women with Black men is ONLY "dangerous" to those who wish to keep us separated. Such ideas lack only Support Means and Opportunity. Ideas with enough support become CONSENSUS. The means and opportunity usually justified. Your Ideas and Arguments or way of Reasoning lends itself readily to an oppressive attitude toward women of color who choose to cross the Ethnic divide. I'd hardly call the desire to love, protect, and keep the Black woman next to my side is "oppressive". The oppressive conditions exist when she has to put up with a community full of men who ignore her, forcing her to work and bear and raise children alone. That's the TRUE oppression a lot of our sisters are tired off. The type that often pushes them to seek love from outside the community. You are right when it comes to Behaviours...But Remember is Always best to Encourage Good Behaviour than to Discourage Bad Behaviour It depends on the behavior. Encouraging a person to eat less meat should take a back seat from trying to talk them out of consuming rat poison after a bad break-up. It's a judgement call. BTW...what nation are you posting from? I am looking at the failure of Miscegenation Laws of the past based on current trends in Marriage. Well that's the problem right there. You can't judge effectiveness of policies of the PAST, by CURRENT social trends! That's like saying the Sodomy Laws of the past didn't work back in the 1800s...because there's plenty of gay marriage TODAY. Or saying Slavery was ineffective and couldn't keep people in bondage....look how free we are TODAY. You can't look at the situation as it CURRENTLY is to judge how effective or ineffective a social/legal rule was in the past. For intents and purposes, Black men and White women were kept AWAY from eachother in the U.S. Any type of secret rendezvous or affair going on was certainly an exception and not the rule. It would be intellectually dishonest to make it anything else besides such. Again I am talking today... But we WEREN'T just talking today. We were talking about the PAST as well as the present. You're just FOCUSING on today in an attempt to carry your point. The issue we are discussing is Social......Not Political or Economical We're talking about race, sex, and marriage. Those subjects INVOLVE politics and economics as well as societal. Yes we are.....Black women crossing the color line...and your disappoint with that and the reaction of Black men to it. How does my objecting to Black women hopping in bed with White men...and my disappointment in Black men who DON'T object to it as well...infringe upon ANYBODY'S rights...much less the Black womans? Your Freedom ends when it impinges on anyone's Freedoms.....Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. For one thing, nobody is free. We have various levels of liberty. One would be surprise at the reality of how common it was for the both slave Master and the slave Mistress to find themselves with an African lover...Hence the Mandingo. There is nothing more attractive to a rich white woman than a young hard working sweaty muscle bound oppressed black Man....Of course both white men and white women would exclude that from the history books and studies.....but its betrayed by the numbers of white women marrying black men today. Lol...I think you've been reading too many steamy romance novels. Too many Terry McMillan and Danielle Steel books. The Truth is I would like to see her with whomever she chooses. Which means building and maintaining a strong healthy Black community with a strong and healthy Black family as a basic building block is very LOW on your priority list. Maybe You are confusing the Golden Rule with the Royal Law.....Love thy Neighbor as thyself It is the Golden Rule: Do Unto Others - not do unto self. As you would have them do unto you - how can the commit suicide of you??? If I want to kill myself that does not mean that I want someone else to kill me or i am now justified in killing anyone else. On the other hand...If I was a murderer or soldier then I would find it justifiable for someone else to kill me. The so-called "golden rule" of the Bible is not only IMPRACTICAL for most human beings to truly practice but it's often down right DANGEROUS if taken literally. According to that logic, no one should be locked up in prison...since no one would want that done to themselves. So killers who don't care about rules or the law get to roam around town for free without fear of being locked up for their crimes. They have stood the test of Time Place and Culture...are there exceptions - certainly if look at in part but not in whole. Christianity stood the test of time simply because people could just CALL themselves a "Christian" despite not really believing. Getting drunk, violent, raising hell all day and night and STILL can come in the church and pray and run around with a cross on their neck "calling" themselves a Christian or even a pastor. It is how you treat the Poor Sick and Neglected among us that is the true measure of a community. Another rather baseless platitude. We're not talking about poor and sick people in general who absolutely should get our help, but SPECIFIC TYPES of poor and sick people....drug addicts. How did they become poor? By CHOOSING to engage in the behavior that lead to that. How did they become sick? By CHOOSING to engage in the behavior that lead to that.
  15. Dude flew to New York to be booked and charged with 34 felonies, and didn't even spend a night in jail. Back in Florida already. Damn.
  16. frankster Fear is a necessary emotion when in danger.... And our community IS in danger, would you not agree? The AfroAmerican community is being attacked physically, psychologically, economically, and academically. Protecting our women and children should be among the top priorities. Jealousy is worst than fear, in that you want to deny others what you want for yourself. It's worse if it prevents you from thinking logically and straight forwardly. Sometimes jealously is warranted. For example, when others DON'T DESERVE to have what they do and YOU DO but are denied it. Black males have been denied power in this nation for so long by White men, in my opinion they DESERVE to be jealous and resentful of their authority. Are you telling me Black men don't have the right to even HURT and feel PAIN at the injustice they've received? Denial of Choice in this sense is denial of Agency In that case what makes you any different from an individual who would enslave another purely on the basis of Sex ? And exactly WHO has denied Black women a choice in who they want to sleep with? I've expressed my OPINION...and that's what it is...an OPINION. I do have a right to express it. Would you dare compare a man who merely expressed his opinion with men who took ACTION and even KILLED people to have their way? Your use of the word "protection" is similar to the Enslavers use of the word to "civilize and or christianize" ..... a euphemism for them to Control and Use(abuse). I suppose you could use the same analogy for parenting and accuse a good parent of being "controlling" and "abusive". You probably could even liken them to the slave master for wanting the best for the child and keeping them out of danger. Such is the thought pattern of a people who haven't really held power in their life and weren't responsibly for anyone besides themselves. If women have no Agency over Themselves....they are Property 1. Who has denied or even promoted denying women "agency" over themselves? 2. Are children and the extremely disabled who are under the care and protection of others "property" as well? And for the record, Black women should have the same and just as many rights as Black men. Equality and Justice for both. However certain behaviors should be ENCOURAGED and others DISCOURAGED. Whichever way the point is ...Miscegenation Laws rules and statues failed Not sure about THAT point you just made, but the ORIGINAL point you made...about White women finding their way into the beds of Black men back during the times of the anti-Miscegenation laws...was wrong. If any interracial CONSENTUAL sex was going on...it was White women in control and bringing Black men of their choice into THEIR beds. The primary purpose of Miscegenation Laws was to keep (especially) Black men and white women from Marrying and cohabiting.....it failed. No sir, it did not. A FEW exceptions to the rule does not equate to failure. You are conflating the issues....who runs the country is mainly a function of Economics and Politics. LOL......And which race controls most of the economics and politics of this nation? Asians? Native Americans? We are talking about a Social Issue....Whether or not two individuals of different race/ethnicity have the Right to marry date or have sex . But we were also talking about race and sex in a HISTORICAL context as well. Further, I mentioned nothing about "rights". Again, I feel the Black woman should have the same rights as the Black man and should be free to date and marry or have sex with whomever she wants. However I don't have to like it or approve of it and I should be able to express how I feel about it. No....You Guide and advise you in no way Control or restrict people you love....their lives are their own. Going by your logic, the United States and other national governments HATE their own citizens because they set up rules, limits, and boundaries that RESTRICT them from going into dangerous areas, consuming dangerous products, engaging in dangerous activities like riding motorcycles without helmets. If the government "really" cared about people they should let them smoke all the crack they want, not lock up serial killers, and let everyone do as they will as a show of love? Children are a different matter...as they are a part of a household some rights are ceded in exchange for their welfare (support). But it's not a VOLUNARY exchange...the children generally have no say so in the matter. Adults are in charge simply because they are the most qualified to be. No I post that to show that all the laws against miscegenation between blacks and whites ....had the opposite effect. But again, it did NOT. For the MOST part...those laws kept Black men and White women apart even on a platonic level. Don't point to a hand full of clandestine romances mentioned an a few memoires and slave stories and hang your hat on that as being evidence that every Black male slave had a White "side dish" he was banging in the big house. Makes for good entertainment....far from reality. Yes... And the fact that you would rather see the Black slave woman with her White open enemy than with the Black slave man who is a victim just like her, explains a lot about how you arrive at your conclusions. Again you are confounding issues....Are you married to every black woman? No. Marriage is a contract and the very word husband dictates the terms of which you speak... First of all, what's your point? Are you suggesting that Black women who are married should NOT have free agency and that the husbands should be in control? Freedom of choices should only be allowed to single Black women? It all comes back to the Golden Rule of...... do unto others as you would have then do unto you That's not a "golden rule" because some people are SUICIDAL and are willing to kill themselves....which is why they have no problem killing others. Plus, as a man...I screw women. I wouldn't want anyone screwing me....lol. So you shouldn't always treat people how YOU want to be treated, but you treat them like they SHOULD be treated. These religions platitudes SOUND nice, but much of it isn't rooted in reality and won't solve many real-world problems. Yes by people who believe as you do....who believe it is ok to deny individuals their humanity according to their sex. Show me an example of where I've denied or even promoted denying people their very humanity because of their sex? That's not even POSSIBLE, let alone something I'd seek to do. Again I think we start by trying to help all, according to the availability of resources - triage. No sense in beating a dead horse. I've already told you that I DO NOT support helping "all" people. I don't believe "all" people deserve help from me, some don't. My enemies CERTAINLY don't deserve my help. Environment often acts as a Force and Pressure on many who see limited Options.... Readily available mind numbing drugs and or alcohol is one avenue of escape...as it is easily accessible. Ok....? Does that now mean that most of those who choose to smoke Crack did NOT have a choice in doing so? Trying to see where you're going with this...lol. Sorry, but if you chose to smoke Crack YOU made that choice, not "pressure from society". Lack of proper coping skills or training lead many to do that which is easiest given tools available and or accessible. True. Does that mean we should take the money and resources meant for housing, education, food, and raising our children....and divert it to helping Crack heads and give them better coping skills in life? Or rather HOW MUCH of the money and resources should go to them? Yes those are most in need and pose the greatest threat to our community.....Malcolm X was once one of them Correct, Malcolm X was ONE of them....one in a MILLION. There are MILLIONS of them who end up UN-REFORMED and dying in the miserable degraded condition they lived their lives in. Again, using one or two exceptions DO NOT justify or make a point. Do MOST Crack heads and other drug addicts turn into a Malcolm X? No Which is why he was such a notable exception. I hope you aren't trying to make a case for us wasting time and energy that SHOULD be going to building and progressing our community on reforming and helping those who CHOSE to destroy their lives and could care less whether they live or die....or YOU live or die if you have some money in your pocket. The Shepherd leaves the flock and goes in search of the lost sheep....The Prodigal son returns. And in my opinion, that father was UNJUST. I thought that the first time I heard it....lol. The father was wrong for giving the son who DISOBEYED him a higher position and more honor after coming back than the son who was loyal and stick with him and obeyed him all this time. The son should have been forgiven...yes...but not elevated higher than the son who remained steadfast and did the right thing through and through. One more reason I'm not religious....lol. It "warps" you sense of morality....in my opinion.
  17. Queen Plushie???? That sounds like one of those ADULT dolls....lol. 🧐 - My word! Look at the hams on that honey!
  18. So according to reports, Trump is supposed to be "arrested" and arraigned Tuesday. My question is, if he's planning on making some sort of speech Tuesday night he either: 1. Doesn't truly believe he'll be arrested or 2. Believes he'll be arrested but for some reason immediately released; which means his arrest was just a formality. I wonder is this the typical treatment of the "average" citizen who is formally charged with the same counts he's been charged with?
  19. I'm not sure how strong the desire is at this point among our people to even build such a community. I want it, but i don't know too many others who share that same dream. Even most of the religions people, who sing and pray about how they can't wait until a "New Heaven and New Earth" is established....seem to REALLY be content with the world the way it is now.
  20. Cynique Listen.... Why don't you put a LID on that garbage can you call a "mouth"...lol.
  21. frankster Jealousy and covetousness is rooted in fear Perhaps. And just like jealousy...fear is a natural emotion and a motivator when channeled correctly. God gave human beings both the emotions of fear and jealousy for reasons. So black women have no Agency over themselves? Absolutely. Infact, at this point...many if not most of them have no choice BUT to have Agency over themselves since they can't rely on having men who care enough about them to protect them. Black women are in this scenario are.....Property? Well, not in the sense of a car or chair.....lol...but they DO belong to our community the same way Black men and Black children do. Being a Conqueror over others is cruelty breeds resentment....being a conqueror over self is true Power. That SOUNDS good. Try as they did by making Laws and statutes....white women still found their way into the hands and bed of Black men. Or was it vice versa, White women ALLOWED and PULLED the Black men of their choice into THEIR beds? Perhaps you have the power dynamic mixed up. Next to the slave master himself....the slave masters WIFE is the one who primarily owns the bed and decides which Black man....if any..she wants to allow in it. It was wrong and it failed.....worst of all its is oppressive If it failed, why are White folks still the ones running the country? Slavery didn't fail, it was just TRANSFORMED...to the modern Prison Industry. I do not think that's the way to show care.....to me that appears more like control through intimidation. Perhaps it's both. You can care about someone, love someone, and be controling and protective at the same time. You love your children, therefor you set a curfew for them to come in on time. You love your children, therefor you control who they interact with and who their friends are so they don't get hurt. Yes Asian women are married mostly to white Men outside of their Race/Ethnicity. As a corollary to show that intimidation and out lawing harmless human behaviour does not work ....The Forbidden Fruit Effect In other your ideas may have the opposite effect than that which you desire. White Females are married mostly to Black Men outside of their Race/ethnicity....all those laws and statutes failed miserably The most common interracial marriage in the United States is an Asian American female married to a White American male, this is followed by a White American female married to a Black American male....... In contrast, 20.1% of white women married a black man, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interracial_marriage_in_the_United_States#:~:text=17.5% of married Asian American,to a Black American male. Lol...🙄 man, you posted a lot of information just to show you ultimately agree with me that the most prevalent form of interracial marriage is Asian women with White men. You are entitled to your opinion... My Opinion is I would rather see them with a good man regardless of ethnicity Hmmm, interesting opinion. So according to that logic.... During Chattel Slavery you would have rather see the Black women be married off to wealthy White men who treated them right, than stick with the Black men who were still slaves. Am I correct? Never knew you esteemed the bible... What about...."What about do unto others as you would have them do unto you" Came from the same source that said: "A woman's desire would be for her husband and he would RULE over her" and "Wives obey your husbands" Same source....lol...and we can go further if you like. What is destroying the black communities is no secret......Racism That's ONE of the factors destroying the Black community, but not the only one. To now internalize racism against our women...is to aid Racism by being Sexist Racism has ALREADY been internalize against our women, through not protecting or providing for them as we should. Racism already exist should we then be promoting it or denouncing it it? I believe Anti-Black racism should be denounced and challenged at every level. Their behaviour and situation has demonstrated that need for guidance and help...the form the help takes should be on an individual level. They indeed need guidance and help, and they should get it. However as a community we need to focus most of our energy and attention on building our community up and helping the decent righteous among our people FIRST and if we have any energy left....we can use it to help those who chose to destroy their bodies and minds through foolish decision making like smoking dope and gang banging. Last time I checked, both crack-smoking and gang banging were CHOICES people made. No one was forced into it for the most part. If you want to spend most of your time and energy trying to reform them, go right ahead...I won't stop you. But that's NOT how I choose to use mine. We should focus on helping all... I disagree. I WILL NOT waste my time, energy, or resources trying to "help" my racist open enemies, pedophiles, serial killers, and other detriments to our society. And when you say "all"...you're INCLUDING the above mentioned whether you intended to or not.
  22. frankster You put a lot on my plate....lol. I gotta run down and grab some fish right quick, I'll get you back later on.
  23. 🤣 Well if there's nothing more to say on it....why the hell are YOU saying so much?
  24. I noticed how you spelled "god" with a small "g". That tells me a lot.
  25. Another discussion is the fact that there is a difference between UGLY and UNATTRACTIVE. There are plenty of women I've seen that I considered ugly, but I was highly attracted to them. I work with a woman right now who....when I see her she reminds me of J.J. Evans with a purple wig on...lol. But when you look at her actual body and after about 15 seconds of conversation with her.....you start seeing how you could "tap" that if the opportunity presented itself, lol. And SHE has plenty of kids by different baby daddies....lol.
