  1. Del I am roughly 10,000 miles away from London which is roughly 10 time zones. So I am actually 10 hours in the future relative to London. And 15 time zones away from NYC so I am 15 hours in the future relative to New York. See this is the type of "shell game" I'm talking about when you get your information and training from White people. You're not in some "future"...you guys are operating in the SAME period of time. They just choose to CALL it a different hour in different regions . Time is time but it's MEASURED differently in different regions. For example...... Just like when people were watching 9/11 on their televisions all across the nation, they were watching it at the SAME TIME but depending on whether they were on the Eastcoast or Westcoast their CLOCKS read different numbers. It's not that difficult. Caucasians put out all of this crap to PURPOSELY make shit confusing and keep people busy debating over nonsense while THEY continue to rule the world with straight logic. You can also slow down time. Is it TIME slowing down.....or is it your MIND speeding up making things APPEAR to go slower???
  2. Not sure about Hidden Figures because I haven't seen it yet but WATCH Black KKKlansman, it's a great film....as most of Spike's movies are. Spike Lee has a wonderful gift of being able to capture the TRUE vibe of the time frame his movies are set in whether it's the 40s, 50s, 70s, or 90s. He'll take you back into time and have you so caught up in the movie you'll thinking you're actually living in THAT time frame. PLUS his movies are usually long and gives you more for your money...lol.
  3. Absolutely! Black stupidity FUELS the racism. Not only does the stupidity of people of color....regardless of race...make it easier for wicked White folks to gain and maintain power, but it also forces some of the better more well meaning Whites to re-consider their liberal positions and influence them to become more conservative. I know a lot of Whites only PRETEND to be nice and fair dealing but are actually wolves in sheep's clothing. But not all. There has to be some decent well meaning Whites. And the ignorant among our people will do a good job of turning THEM out and making racists out of them with some of their silly antics out there in the streets. "Help a brutha out. Hey....White man.....help a brutha out! I need my Reparations money!!!"
  4. Del If time "didn't exist" you wouldn't be sitting up here denying it....lol.
  5. Man.....😂.....that fool. I wonder will some of the law enforcement officers charge him with "stolen valor".
  6. This movie MAY be another "hit" piece on Black America. I'm not sure if it's the same movie, but I saw a brief clip of some movie about Emitt Till depicting him as a fat, sloppy, mentally challenged boy who was going around town bragging about his sexual exploits with White women up in Chicago. This same clip showed him flirting with and whistling at the White woman in the store trying to get her. We need to becareful with some of this crap they're putting out in Hollywood.
  7. Interesting topic, but I doubt if the women on this site will give it much play. As loud and as out spoken as they can get, it's funny how sexually Conservative most Black women are.
  8. Not sure what Lupita's position is, but that is one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood today. That is such an attractive young lady and she's all Black. Not mixed up and of questionable racial origin, but clearly a dark skinned Black woman of radiant beauty. As is Viola Davis. Women like her and Lauryn Hill give us a hint of how beautiful our people were when in their original state.
  9. 🙄-Or take advice from them....lol.
  10. Chev Yeah, when I lived in San Diego I used to catch the trolly/train to SOUTH EAST San Diego because that was where most of the Black people lived. But to answer your question, YES...I knew she resigned. She had little choice to because of so much pressure being put on the council itself. Even Jim Crow Joe Biden called for her and others resignation....I knew it was a wrap.
  11. Lol....because most women would actually consider that more of a loss for THEM rather than the newly dis-membered male victims.
  12. Or offer them bigger incentives for their loyalty than White folks are offering and giving them. The sad fact is, you often get NOTHING in return for being loyal to niggas....except disappointment and confusion.
  13. Actually that speaks of a Supremacist MINDSET Believing that they are superior and have the right to be in charge, they want CONTROL If they can't have control over events in THEIR lives as well as other people's lives....they feel they're better off dead. If they can't RULE, they'd rather kill themselves than be subjected to the rule of others. Maybe if more of OUR people thought that way....Chattel Slavery and it's current byproducts would have never materialized. Cynique 😏 I know how to keep YOUR ass under control...lol. That's a qualification in and of itself.
  14. Lol...what? Without having even met you in real life I know you possess atleast 5 or 6 of those characteristics right off the bat. They are confident - They believe in themselves and their abilities, nothing is ever impossible to them. They have tremendous self-esteem and usually don't need others to validate them or show them their greatness. They don't wait for opportunities to present themselves, they create them - You snooze, you lose is their mantra. They believe that some opportunities are hard to come by and don't always present themselves; they create opportunities where and when they see fit. They are resilient - They don't give up in the face of adversity. They may stumble and even fall but they don't stay down for long. They know how to bounce back and don't waste time and energy wallowing in self-pity. They are consistent - They work their plan diligently even when it seems wiser to quit because results aren't evident. They don't get bored by repetition or rote routines. They know that as long as they keep on sowing, they will eventually reap. They never stop dreaming - No matter how much they accomplish, they never allow themselves to get too comfortable and content. They forever seek out ways to get to the next level and dream up new dreams. They value self-development and improvement - They always evaluate themselves and seek out ways to better themselves and become the kind of person they need to be to sustain their goals and dreams. They have laser-like focus - They don't allow themselves to get distracted by things that would likely jeopardize the fulfillment of their goals and dreams. They always keep their eyes on the prize. All of those above alone....describe your presence on AALBC
  15. Mel LOL....Mel...Mel...Mel............ Now it makes sense why he never got pushback from supremacists. It is as if Fuller is doing the work for them. "Bend over and just take it." doesn't seem much like a solution. Many people who've studied his work have gotten frustrated with his approach and see it as "defeatist" or "go along to get along" with the racists. So you're certainly not alone. Nor does Isolation and segregation cure ostracization. It may not cure it, but I think in many cases Isolation not only raises your self-esteem but makes you more productive and leads to more progress. Separating yourself from those who hate you and wish you nothing but harm is always a wise move whether we're talking about large groups or individual relationships. Successfully isolating yourself from an enemy you can't or won't defeat is usually the next best thing TO defeating them. I'll pass on his message. I'm attracted to movements that provide a solution to problems. Oh but I'm telling you much of his advice actually WORKS because it's practical. It's not just fluff and "feel good" rhetoric that doesn't actually produce positive outcome. When you follow some of the specific advice he lays out on how to deal with White people and racists in general, it actually works! Again, his solutions are geared toward the INDIVIDUAL more so than the group and most INDIVIUALS who apply his methods find success in their personal lives even though SYSTEMIC racism remains. I tend to be stoic when confronting racism, sexism, and supremacy. I face difficulties and use whatever resources available to me to hurdle obstacles. This position allows others to move forward in a field that was off-limits to them. I'm with you 100% on the racism. And about 95% on the sexism part...lol....although I tend to be a little on a sexist side myself. Perhaps that's part of my opposition to The Woman King Also to answer your question, the reason so many liked Black Panther but criticized Woman King is because Black Panther was clearly for entertainment with very little derogatory themes in it. The Woman King is obvious propaganda and so much is questionable about that film from the very TITLE of it, to who wrote it (two White women), mixing actual history with fable and legend, etc....too much is shady. I betcha didn't know I was the first Black woman news anchor at a television station in the Ohio Valley. When a bigot took over as news director and tried to get me to quit. I took his azz and the entire station to the EEOC. He was the one who put me in the position to anchor my own morning newscast and then weekend newscast. I don't play to get along. Excellent! You may not play to get along but I'm sure you've learned by now that the BEST way to get along with racists is to challenge their every move and make it so painful and uncomfortable for them to practice their racist antics that they either clean up their act or just leave altogether. Not sure if you'll take this as an insult or compliment but what you said really didn't impress me too much because I already figured you were high-end anyway. I knew you were an achor, stewardist, attractive woman, educated woman, had something to do with Bill Cosby...lol...and many other attributes. I saw that as just one more feather in your hat. "Honey, I'm EVERY woman....it's all in me!" Aside: I read Fuller first published this book in the 50s, and it was updated several times by Dr. Cress Welsing) If Neely Fuller, Jr came to this forum and posted some of what he wrote last century today as "Neels," you would have questioned the motives. So @Pioneer1what about his writing resonates with you? His keen insight and logic. He doesn't approach racism and what he calls "white supremacy" with an emotional or pollyanish ideology that tells Black people they are strong, smart, and capable of defeating the racists if they just "keep the faith" or put it all in the hands of Jesus. He tells you straight up that the White racists are the strongest and most powerful human beings in this world and you have to accept this and learn their tactics and how to avoid them as best you can to survive and perhaps thrive in this world. We can argue all day long whether or now the White racists are the smartest and strongest on the planet, but the question is...if any other group of people ARE smarter and stronger than them...where ARE they? Show me the group of people who ARE stronger and smarter than the White racists and who are not under their control, because I want to find them and talk to them....lol. Much of what he states is OBVIOUS, but so many of us are too fearful and egostitical to accept....that White folks RULE this world and have power that many of us haven't the faintest clue they possess. They control the water, the food, the air, the housing, the hospitals, the legislation, etc....and to accept this is too painful for most Black people, so they're rather be told something different that makes them FEEL better. Me....I'd rather be told the TRUTH. Right behind ACKNOWLEDGING that a problem even exists.....learning the TRUTH about it is the next step to actually SOLVING it. ProfD Neely Fuller is definitely not advocating that folks acquiesce to racism white supremacy. To the contrary. His book provides a guide for how to understand and overcome it. Absolutely I think the thing that a lot of people get hung up on and don't understand is that his philosophy and advice are towards the INDIVIDUAL and not a group. So he's not out here promoting mass protests and riots or class action law suits but giving you advice on how to be safe and successful as an INDIVIDUAL without having to rely on GROUP EFFORT for your success.
  16. ProfD Yeah man..... We've had so many opportunities. The Million Man March was just ONE of them but there were many many others. This is why I keep stressing the importance of INTELLIGENCE among us because many of the opportunities we had to improve and progress our community was squandered or thwarted by the silly behavior and antics of the LESS INTELLIGENT among us. Remove them from our ranks and I guarantee overnight success that will continue to climb.
  17. Troy There is no such thing as "relatively free". Either you're free or you're not. I believe this nation is LESS RESTRICTIVE that many others, but "free"? No. There's definitely no such thing as a "free market" society because if it's regulated in ANY way then it's no longer free. Restrictions apply.
  18. Lol....alright @richardmurray it's "Titty Tuesday" what do you have for us this week????
  19. The same technology that makes it easier to unite, also makes it easier to sow division and keep discord among the people...especially using social media. A racist can easily disguise themselves in a Black social media platform and turn the place upside down with bickering and infighting for mere destabilization. But as far as Black folks not using the tools at their disposal.............. Are you sure that's a product of "white supremacy".....or Black stupidity?
  20. Mel What is Neely Fuller's agenda? To counter and eventually eliminate racism or what he calls "The System of White Supremacy" and establish Justice on the planet He's actually been around for a long time. He's 92 years old I believe...lol. I'm sure you've heard of our sister the late great Dr. Frances Cress Welsing and the Isis Papers.....well....he is HER mentor and set her on the path she was on! You can check him out for yourself by visiting his website: https://producejustice.com/ Fuller sounds like a philosopher. He is! Fuller’s counter to racism hasn’t changed system Black people must live under. For example, the link I shared above indicates young Black men are imprisoned at a higher rate for human trafficking - even though we know they’re not profiting from it. Mr. Fuller stresses in most of his lectures and interviews as well as his literature that his work is meant for the INDIVIDUAL...not the collective. He tells Black people to basically forget about trying to "unite" and work in large groups to eliminate racism because too many of our people have too much poison in them to work together. His philosophy and codes instruct each INDIVIDUAL what to do in hundreds of different real life scenarios that you may come across. If his code attempts to change behavior of the victims of supremacy - the U.S. Code still remains. That's exactly what his code was designed to do. Get the VICTIM (and this is what he calls himself and other people of color) of racism to change THEIR behavior so that they can live a less painful life under the system of racism. He also believes that this will help dismantle it in a minute microscopic way. Believe it or not, much of his advice actually works if you try it! ProfD By outside classification, Fuller would be considered a social scientist moreso than a philosopher. That's a good description of Neely Fuller. Not just a philosopher but a Social Scientist And one more accurate than most of the White social scientists I've read from.
  21. Yes. The brother is very talented. I'd MUCH rather see Black people drawing other Black people, even if in cartoon form....than that racist "anime" shit so many people are into today.
  22. No, as long as it's with a woman....I'm down for ALMOST whatever....lol. However I'm not a big fan of oral sex....giving OR getting. I wasn't when I was younger. I was told by some of the older men in my community that if a man get's used to TOO MUCH oral sex, pretty soon it's all he'll want. He wouldn't want a lot of sexual intercourse......only on occasion. But his main desire would be blow jobs. Now here's the REAL problem.....lol. Both a female OR a male can do it. So if he gets into a situation where there are no females around.....like jail or prison....then he might be seeking out another man to perform the deed. ....and that made a lot of sense to me. Some of these dudes, especially the younger men....all they talk about is "head" and how much "head" they're getting but rarely mention intercourse itself. I prefer the soft body of a woman smooched up against me....not a tongue or mouth.
  23. Troy I see you're coming down closer to REALITY now by acknowledging that all of those "choices" you talk about are limited and restricted by multiple factors ranging from innate abilities to social injustices.....lol. So much for "everyone can choose their own careers, set their own wages, and live where ever they want"........ I thought I was talking to Armstrong Williams for a minute....lol. "And you know Dan...... I'm so glad and blessed to be living in a country where I can eat anytime I get ready. Say what I want without worrying about a knock on the door in the middle of the night. I have running hot water. I can go down the street and apply for any job I want and don't have to worry about racism. No sir, my color ain't holding ME back.....because MY colors are red, white, and blue!!!"
  24. You know...... Maybe if a handful of brothers tried to do it, they'd mow them down. But if more than say....200 Black folks mobbed up like that. No way. White privilege is a SOCIAL CONSTRUCT not a LAW OF NATURE. What do I mean by that? I mean the same natural forces and powers that THEY use to maintain control and see that things go their way in society can be used by us IF we have the desire and will to do so collectively. It's the laziness and stupidity of so many of our people which keeps them from doing it. If 500 Black folks (not niggas) showed up to voice their anger over and election or policy or anything else and DEMOSTRATED their willingness to get physical.... "Sorry Charlie..... But NONE of us intend to go to jail today!" I GUARANTEE YOU.....MONEY BACK GURANTEE...any White law enforcement present would STAND DOWN and either wait for the National Guard to come or simply submit to the demands of the crowd and give the people the policies they want to satisfy them so they can go home. White folks aren't THAT damn crazy. They aren't gonna spark a Civil War just to prove some point of power. They have too much to lose getting into tussles like that. I'm telling you bro.......
  25. ProfD Here in the USA. white folks make the rules and laws. They give permission (empower) others to act on and enforce them within the system of racism white supremacy. AfroAmericans need a voting rights bill regardless of the US Constitution because every politician we've had from past to present has either ignored or failed to codify it. White folks haven't given them permission In the United States White people are powerful, but they aren't ALL-POWERFUL. AfroAmericans have a degree of power both collectively AND individually but most of the time we use only a FRACTION of our potential power in this nation. Yes fear is a major reason. But LAZINESS and INDIFFERENCE is another major reason. Do Black people REALLY need to get permission from Whites to do what they want to do, or do they merely go through the motions and submit themselves to White authority to "avoid trouble"? I've said it before and I will continue to say it, Black folks CAN NOT BE STOPPED by White folks or any other race once we've made up our mind and put our foot down to do something. I've seen it over and over again. The ONLY people on this planet who can stop Black people and trip up Black progress is OTHER Black folks; which is why White folks have realized division and pitting negroes against eachother is their ultimate weapon. Nothing else they have comes close. But if we really DESIRE anything....we can achieve it and all of the collective efforts of the racists couldn't stop it.
