I love turkey. My Father didn't care too much for it though when our family ate it. He said it looked too much like a buzzard....lol. Actually, turkeys ARE out of the buzzard/vulture family. If you ever see a wild one, it's bald and looks just like any other buzzard. It simply doesn't look like something that should be eaten. My only issue with The Turkey Leg Hut is the same as I have with Roscoe's Chicken-n-Waffles...... It's not enough of them. They should go NATION WIDE. The problem with a lot of soul food restaurants is that they don't want to expand and make soul food global like other groups. Italians, Chinese, Mexicans....their food is global now. Thanks to the United States actually..... And now children of all races enjoy tacos and pizza and egg rolls when 100 years ago they probably wouldn't put their noses near it. We need to do the same thing with AfroAmerican cuisine and make it a global phenomenon.

ProfD And I do! I do feel sorry for the brother to a certain extent even though I warned him OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER again for months! Why do I often feel more sorry for these niggas than they feel for me????? He would talk to me and we would converse....but I could tell he didn't take much of what I said seriously. That nigga used to call me JANGO with the conspiracy theories!!!! When a higher position higher than his opened up I told him he should immediately go for it because: a) There were no Black people hire than Supervisor and he would break the glass ceiling if he got into upper management! b) Since so many people were already coming for him to destroy him, a higher position would offer more protection I WARNED the brother that if he DIDN'T didn't seek that position and another White person gets it, that next White person may end up being a racist who fires him! He laughed it off and said HE was "turning the company around" and they wouldn't fire him. He said he didn't want the position because it was way too much responsibilities and would force him to work too much away from his family. Guess what??? When they filled the position it was filled by a White woman who got on HIS ass from the moment she walked through the door! Even told him to SHUT UP infront the men he was supervising! Had him coming in at all kinds of odd hours and even on Sundays! Had the nigga stressed out and angry and he started taking it out on the Black workers under him which led to MORE conflicts. I warned him about that too. I said instead of putting more pressure on your Black workers...use us as your BACKUP so we can unite and put pressure on THEM!!! He's just look at me with his hands in his pockets and march off rolling his eyes as if I was talking jibberish. Despite him turning the department around increasing production and numbers and doing 137% better than the previous White supervisor did....they STILL rode him and eventually got rid of him. I saw it.....I saw it all....I saw it ((shakes head)) And before HIM there was a Black woman in a similar position I tried to sit down and talk into getting into upper management and SHE didn't want to listen. She didnt' get fired but they ran her away. BROTHER....I love being right. I love having the gift of discernment and accurate prediction However sometimes when you see it coming and there isnt' too much you can do about it but watch it unfold.....man. Do you understand what I'm saying Professor??? You SEE IT....you see how it is beginning and you almost KNOW exactly how it will end and see it all unfold before your eyes. But besides giving warnings and pleading for people to change their course and do "this" instead of doing "that"...there's little else you can do about it besides stand back and watch it happen! What a feeling..... I'm so glad and thankful The SUPREME BEING Graced me to have been influenced by The Nation of Islam and the teachings of Neely Fuller Jr. If I hadn't been schooled into understanding Racism and how it REALLY works.....I don't know what I would do. Neely Fuller Jr. said: IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHITE SUPREMACY AND HOW IT WORKS....EVERYTHING ELSE THAT YOU DO UNDERSTAND WILL ONLY CONFUSE YOU!

richardmurray The biggest factor on whether or not a minority can rule over a majority isn't money or political leanings....it's INTELLIGENCE. Is that minority collectively SMARTER than the majority they want to rule over? If the answer is YES...then they will be successful. It seems to me that the Whites in South Africa were successful in ruling the Black majority so thoroughly and for so long was simply because for what ever reason....they outsmarted them. And they're STILL continuing to do it even though officially they aren't "ruling" anymore....but still disproportionally control the money and influence the politics. Maybe some of the ignorant rednecks want this nation to become all White but the wise White rulers of the United States won't allow this nation to become all White like Germany for the very reasons you touched on. Because this form of Capitalism needs an oppressed class, victims to exploit. If they got rid of the Blacks and Browns and left only Whites in this nation....then WHITE PEOPLE would be the ones being abused and exploited primarily and all of the stereotypes and mass incarcerations, ect....would fall on them. They don't want that....so they keep people of color around as punching bags.

richardmurray That's a worthy goal. However both the intellect and desire for high-brow content has to increase in Black people. Too many of our people have an appetite for garbage, juvenile and ridiculous entertainment instead of intelligent discussion.

Just like the U.S. controls the so-called "United Nations", headquartered in New York....lol. If the U.N. didn't vote in favor of our policies we'd kick them out of the building and bar half of them from even setting FOOT in this country for meetings..lol

Friday a young Black man who was supervisor at my job was fired. The big wigs from corporate came down to pull him in the office and let him go. I tried to warn him. I had been warning him for MONTHS that many of his fellow White co-workers (as well as many of the Black ones) had it in for him. I said RACISM was the primary reason. Being of this latter generation who have been taught to blame EVERYTHING EXCEPT racism, he didn't want to hear it or believe it. I told him it doesn't matter how great his performance is or how well he did his job....racists don't care about that! Infact, the BETTER job you do the MORE the racists will HATE YOU!!!! Because you're eliminating the excuses they want to use to complain about or fire you. I said he should get closer to the Black workers and organize with the couple of other Black supervisors to make a fuss about racism and the need for diversity at the company! He told me he wouldn't talk about race with them because on the few occasions he'd bring it up with the other White managers.....they'd get uncomfortable. I said: NIGGA THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT.....FOR THEM TO GET UNCOMFORTABLE SO THEY WON'T FUCK WITH YOU!!!! He'd laugh at it and blew it off as just the rantings of some old nigga from the "old school" who didn't know what the game was all about today. He loved to talk about "It's not about Black or White but about GREEN and who came make the company the most money!" I had to shake my head at him. Racists don't give a damn about production or "green" or how much money you can make for them....hell they PRINT UP all the money they want. They don't need YOU to generate it for them! I tried to tell the young buck. I tried......for months I tried. They let him go and he walked past me with a box in his hand with a long sad face. Wouldn't even make eye contact with anybody. People were standing around looking with their mouths open in shock because most of THEM thought he'd never get fired either because he was so smart and his performance was so great. But I knew better. Performing well doesn't necessarily protect you from racism.....often times it makes you a TARGET of it for the reasons mentioned above. One of the best known defenses against racism is a great aggressive OFFENSE. You shove your foot so far up these devils' asses that you see your brown slimy shoe strings when they open their mouths! And you KEEP your foot up their ass! Don't take it out! I learned that from the late great Coleman Alexander Young who was Mayor of Detroit. He used to cuss White folks out on live television back in the 70s and ran them out of the city. ..and DIDN'T apologize for it! .....and did over 4 terms as mayor! ....and died at a ripe old age! ....and NEVER went to prison! To a Republican at a hearing before Congress in Washington D.C.: "Detroit is MY muthafuckin' city...not Reagan's Tell ole PRUNE FACE to mind his own goddamn business!"

Sani Nassif I will offer a little push back on a few of your comments... 1. Neanderthals did not come from Africa. They came from Europe or the Caucasus mountain region. What modern Western scientist and archeologists in particular are calling "Neanderthals" are actually degenerated Caucasians who lived such a savage life while they were trapped in the mountains that their bodies actually morphed to adapt to their environment. Evidence of this is that you can barely find any more of them today. Why not? Because they weren't a species but a mutation. 2. There is no evidence that "slave labor" was used to build the Pyramids or any other monument in ancient Egypt. The hieroglyphs clearly tell you HOW the pyramids were built...with Kemetic technology. Caucasian scholars just IGNORE this and come up with their own theories from space aliens to Hebrew slaves. The only places this assertion is found is in the Bible and books derived FROM the Bible who books that point to the Bible as it's source. We know that much of the Bible is FALSE. Not only historically incorrect but down right fabricated and can't be relied on for accuracy. Which leads me to my third point..... 3. The word "Eden" is most likely a corrupt form of the word "Aden" which is southern Yemen. The Garden of Eden/Aden was likely a cultivated spot in this region. Not some magical or mystical place floating around in the clouds that religious people would have us to believe. Most people who grew up in Christian and Muslim environments have been heavily indoctrinated by the stories that have been passed along from generation to generation from these Abrahamic religions. Yes we must live together as human beings....... But we can't live together based on lies and falsehood. Our peace and security has to be founded in TRUTH and JUSTICE in order for it to be long lasting.

Kanye isn't stupid, but he's clearly mentally unstable if not out right crazy. There are "mad" geniuses. Like Hitler. A person's intelligence and mental stability aren't necessarily on par with each other.

ProfD Not only do I agree with you that Trump isn't going to prison. I'm also questioning whether or not Russia's war with the Ukraine is a "serious" one. I know people are getting killed and property is being destroyed, but we know the Racists will do this for "fun". They'll blow up entire cities for fun.....just to rebuild and keep the economy going. I thought Putin may have been going rogue and going off script from the other racists to do his thing, but if things in Ukraine are going the way the media here are portraying them to be.....it appears that Putin is PURPOSELY destroying his own military by allowing a much weaker Ukraine to defeat and humiliate it.

I remember when the Pandemic first got started........not only were people driving around with masks on but gloves on too! I remember some sissy brother saw me in the Star Bucks parking lot and tried to hit on me!!!! An OLD nigga too! "Hello friend..." Me: "Hey, what's up man....do I know you?" "Not really, I've seen you around Starbucks from time to time but uh...... I usually go to Detroit or Chicago for my fun but since the Pandemic shit has been a little crazy. You know we gotta be safe. I was wondering, you seem like a pretty smart brother who got it together and got it GOING ON (( 🥴 )) I was wondering if you want to go somewhere and have some FUN after you leave Starbucks later today?" Me: "Nah man....I'm good. Take care though" I didn't know the fool from Adam! Not sure what made him feel comfortable enough to go up to a grown man he didn't even know and proposition him like that.

I don't know much about OPEC , but who actually "controls" it? Is it controlled by the Arab nations or by Europe? And my other questions would be....... I heard Nigeria has more oil in that nation than half of ALL the Middle Eastern nations combined. Are THEY part of OPEC? And if not.....why don't they form their own oil conglomerate like OPEC and use that as leverage to get some money and recognition from the world?

I think you're right for the most part. The dominant White culture not only PROTECTS sell outs and agents in the community but actually GENERATES them in order to cause and maintain destablization and keep the AfroAmerican (and many African) communities in a state of chaos and turmoil.....thus weak and vulnerable. It's certainly part of African culture (and most other races for that matter) to either separate those who have a differing opinion from the majority in our community or in extreme cases persecute and kill them off because they don't fit in with the "norm". This is a good thing if those who differ in their outlook and behavior will DESTABLIZE the harmony and peace of the community. However much if not most of the time....especially when Caucasians aren't involved in these differences....it's simply Black people as individuals expressing themselves. And their expressions are being unfairly and unnecessarily suppressed. I think this is one of the DOWNFALLS of the historical African community. The social and religious intolerance that seems to go on among us. This is also one of the things that makes AMERICA such a great and prosperous nation. We aren't so hooked on culture and homogeneity that we want to force everyone to look, sound, and act alike....like many European, Asian, and even African societies do. We....today atleast....tend to celebrate and welcome diversity as a STRENGTH and ASSET. E Pluribus Unum = Out of Many One ....is the motto So before was as AfroAmericans "clean house" so to speak and get rid of the sell-outs and trouble makers who are just agents of the devil sent (or formed) to destabilize our community, we must first decide WHAT our values are and should be and then proceed from there.

Troy I'm glad you enjoyed your movie......Troy....😏

-is our brother @richardmurray...lol. I've been seeing your name on posts for YEARS but didn't know you were such a deep thinker when it came to race and politics until the past couple months. It seems you only posted in some of the other forums but almost never posted in the culture-race-economy forum (just like I rarely post on any other forum but this one) until recently. I'm glad we have an opportunity to interact more with our brother but I'm curious; what prompted you to "expand your horizons"....so to speak???

But Wonder Woman was full of sexual innuendos from her skimpy suit to the way she whips her hair around while fighting. No matter how dangerous and fantastic, they make sure to highlight the beauty and femininity of the White woman. When it comes to Black women....even in old Africa...they won't even show their breasts. Have them muscled up and sweaty with angry scowls on their faces. If a Black man ain't insulted by THAT....I'm not sure what it takes TO insult him. It used to be an insult to tell a boy "Your mom wears combat boots", because of what it implies. Many AfroAmerican men today would probably be PROUD of some an accusation.

I still maintain he hasn't been the same since his mother died. He really hasn't been the same since he was taken against his will to get some sort of shock treatment some years back. I think that did more damage to his mind.

And straight Black.....like me....lol. No cream. No sugar. I want to taste the full flavor.

If shit like THAT ever hits the fan....strong brothers might have to sit some of these "big mommas" down and let them know what time it is. When our community is in crisis mode, the women will have to learn to let the men BE men and protect the community. Which means THEY can't be getting in the way, all up in their feelings, and defending the enemies from without or within. Not only would they be letting sell-outs in, but they'd be letting the devil himself up in the house and calling him her "blue eyed Jesus".....if we let them. Black men need to learn to stop asking to be men and just BE men and take charge whether others like it or not. Assume power and protect the community.

When I look at that right-wing fool Herschel Walker the Republicans are pushing down in Georgia. And then you have another right-wing Black dude up here in Michigan that the Republican Conservatives are trying to get in Congress. Now you got Kanye West steady pushing right-wing garbage and wearing "White Lives Matter" t-shirts. I'm beginning to put some things together 🤔 I'm beginning to come to the conclusion that White racists are trying to pull a "slick" move by using foolish Black people to be the MASK of their diabolical agenda. So when the shit hits the fan and they're called into account for what they've done.....they can point the finger at these Black minions and say that THEY are just as guilty. "Can't blame White people." "Don't say it's a race thing." "There were just as many if not more Blacks involved in it." That's gonna be their excuse. And they're gonna point to THESE knuckle heads as examples of how "just as many Blacks" were involved in the promotion of right-wing fascism in this nation as Whites.

@Chevdove To be honest with you, I didn't really read down that far yet....nor did I read his words too closely. I kind of skimmed through them the other morning while having a coffee and listening to some other dudes on Youtube....lol. So many characters come through here with their own philosophies..... I don't have the time to examine them and their material too closely. Maybe I should though. But I'm glad Sani found a spot where he can express himself.

Who wants to bet Kanye's next move will be to seek Reparations....FOR WHITE PEOPLE. ProfD If/when white folks decide it's open season on killing Black folks, I'd be slightly curious to see where Kanye, Candace, Clarence, Larry, Herschel and Diamond and Silk to name a few are going to hide when the bullets start flying They won't be allowed to hide among US...that's for sure! ((said in that strong rhythmic Khalid Muhammad voice)) "You half-baked, half-fried, punkified, sissified, homogenized, pasteurized, boot lickin, White butt lickin, sell out Niggas and Niggettes have MADE UP your goddamn BED with these murderous bastids, now SLEEP in it, because you WON'T be able to run back to the Black man and Black woman after dancing with the devil! BACK...BACK....BACK! GIT BACK into the bosom of Satan and accept your dose of death!"

Troy and black people started running around acting like this was actual black history giving the Wakanda salute even going so far as to bitch, if it was done incorrectly (right arm over left). Actually that wasn't made up but an ancient Kemetic sign. http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/codex_magica/images/ccodex_69_small.jpg Not sure what it means, but it's based in reality. Also taking certain potions to go to the Ancestral Realm and communicate with deceased loved ones is UNIVERALLY practiced in ancient African culture and Indigenous culture across the globe. So the movie touches on a lot of truths....all the while claiming to be fictional. The Woman King is the very opposite. No we have a film actually based on historical fact — however loosely and people want to raise a hissy fit. And THAT'S the problem, and probably why so many people are having a fit over it. It's NOT actual history but LOOSELY based on the facts...with much of it being fabricated. Satan is good for mixing up truth with falsehood to CONFUSE the masses. They should have just went all the way and said it was a fictional tale of women warriors. Atleast they wouldn't give the impression of it being historically true. But their intention was to influence and CONDITION the people into believing that this is true "African History" so they make the claim that it's "based" on actual history in order to justify the lies they tell in it. What makes the Women Kling so much worse than Black Panther? For one thing Black Panther showed BLACK LOVE. You had a Black man who fights to save his love which is another beautiful Black woman. Does The Woman King show Black men and women loving and embracing eachother? Or does it show Black men and women at odds, fighting eachother, and killing eachother? I suspect the answer already without watching it...lol.

Troy Joy Rose Johnson! She sounds famous already...lol. Beautiful little girl. Look at those doe eyes. we incur this as a consequence of living here. I’m not really aware of a place you can go to fully escape it. We can escape it RIGHT HERE if we would bother to build our own institutions and send our children to them instead of relying on Caucasians. I disagree because, and this should be obvious, not every white personal is trying to demasculate me or anyone else. You’ll make yourself crazy finding boogie men everywhere. You don't need every White person or even MOST White people to do this in order for it to be effective. All you need is a core group in strategic places of power and influence like the entertainment industry and academic institutions. They can do so much damage spreading their psychological poisons through their movies, television shows, and the classes they teach.

"D D D Don't take this ass whooping personally!" Lol....that was my movie. My man told Richard Pryor: "You fixin' to be a rich nigga....ya see...cuz come Friday I'm knocking somebody the fuck out!" ProfD Yet, the GOP is still riding with that dude. I'm sure they could have found a stronger candidate/clown WHAT?????? Man, is that mumble mouth nigga STILL in the race? I thought he might have gotten bored and dropped out by now....lol They're just making a clown out of his silly ass. Just clowning the brother showing the world how stupid some Black men have become.

Sani Nassif First though before I reply I really really want to say I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! I can't honestly express in words how much I LOVED these replies and this discussion oh my Love having you here bro! bc sometimes I face alot of times depression/suicidal thoughts because I just feel I have no place in this world Well, just remember bro....unless you have something PHYSICALLY wrong with you that's causing you so much pain and discomfort that you can't stand it.....don't consider suicide. I'm not saying you should consider suicide even if you DO have those issues, but if not....certainly don't consider it. You drug, gamble, screw a lot of women (unless that's the problem)....anything to give you pleasure in life UNTIL you can find a way to work through your problems. but I fully do remember this as a past life, and as proof I can say You remember your past lives??? I actually am born with sand/tan skin/middle eastern genetics Oh, are you Arab or some other Middle Eastern ethnicity???? then later after a massive cataclysm and over 100,000 plus years all the other skin traits/features devolved. It is my understanding that after every 25,000 years or so a MASSIVE cataclysm takes place to cleanse the planet and start civilizations all over again. When you talk about Neanderthals....remember you're just talking about White people who continued to DE-VOLVE while they were locked up in Europe and the Caucasus Mountains. As most of them went savage, their bodies changed and adapted to thier debased lifestyle. So they grew thick hair, thicker skin, broader bones in their head, thick hard nails, ect...so fight off and capture and eat animals. It's not EVOLUTION...it's DEVOLUTION (or Devil-ution....lol)
