ProfD Back in those days, NWA was the Black CNN of the west coast just as Public Enemy was to the east coast.😎 And speaking of Public Enemy....... Notice how skillfully some of the journalists kept trying to get them to diss Public Enemy or say something greasy about them to start a rift? None of them took the bait. I'm not sure if they recognized it as a trick of the enemy, or just legitimately didn't have any opinions about PE one way or the other. They also tried this tactic again by bringing up KRS One was well as mentioning their relationships with Eastcoast rappers in general. I think they were pretty successful in getting a few to talk about KRS One. I'm not sure if he responded to them.

Lol...by this statement, are you suggesting that George W. Bush was more legitimate and better for the nation? “There’s an old saying in Tennessee....I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee too It says, fool me once, shame on. Shame on you. Fool me again....and uhhh....you can’t get fooled again.”

Well you "checked" with the wrong sources, because many people in this nation absolutely do NOT have the right to associate with whom they want. In some cases...it's actually illegal for them to do so.

You're directing that response to the wrong person....lol. That statement was a QUOTE, not my own.

nels Only 7 percent use Obamacare? I find that VERY hard to believe. That would mean that the other 93% of Americans are either on Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance. Perhaps a majority may be....but not 93%.

Well without advertising them....maybe you can tell us where we can find online forums that ARE full of "enlightenment"....LOL. Wait, let me guess.... Instagram? Tiktok? Lol....everybody knows how "intellectually stimulating" and "enlightening" the content on THOSE platforms are! 🤣 I wonder..... 🤔 How much intellectual stimulation can you really expect from platforms designed for people who can't pay attention for more than 30 seconds???

Chev @Chevdove I'm not a fan of hers, but I do recognize that Arianna IS a great singer. Probably due to a number of factors, including: -Like so many White RnB artists, she grew up observing AfroAmerican singers and started imitating their style -She's of Italian descent so that African blood no doubt had contributed to her vocal muscles, rhythm, and talent in general. Remember, she sang at Aretha Franklin's funeral. I don't have a problem with HER personally; it's the movie itself that I take issue with. I do hear a little about appealing to the LBGT movement, but how? Without having seen the movie, one reason is because one of the main actresses....Cynthia Erivo....is either Lesbian or Bisexual. Anyway, I have not been to the movies in years, so I don't keep up with holidays blockbusters anymore. Don't worry, you ain't missing much. The only time I go is when I have to take somebody who wants to go....lol. Me personally, I'd rather wait until it comes out online and watch it at home on the big screen. But if you haven't been to a movie theater in years...one thing you might find surprising is the fact that they now serve LIQUOR in most theaters....lol.

Chev I didn't know that much about her. Since you mentioned it, I'll start paying a little more attention to her work.

Happen to catch these very clear videos of an interview allegedly done by NWA in London England, back in the day. (1990) I say "allegedly" because the videos are so remarkably clear that they look recent, as if it could be AI. Despite the callousness and often vulgar language, their responses are pretty quick and often witty. They show a level of maturity and none of them are fighting with eachother over who speaks or who gets to answer which question. There seems to be a "vibe" among them.

Well.... She may have been gone THEN...but we're certainly glad she's back NOW! 😉

Well that's niiiiiice.............🙂

ProfD I think these other groups are doing the same thing, the only difference is they aren't African and the spotlight isn't on them. Compared to the Latinos and even the Asians...the African immigrant population isn't very large and they're fairly recent and new. The fact is, most Africans are well educated and law abiding. I find it very odd that all of a sudden African immigrants are the poster children of scams and fraud and crime when they are generally among the LEAST criminal of immigrants. How did the focus turn from sending back the Venezuelan criminal gangs to now going after Somalis? But what's worse........... AfroAmericans JOINING in with Trump and the other Whites to dog pile on them. You can't trust niggaz like that. They'll claim they're dissing the Somalis because of fraud or because they didn't stand with Black people, but then they'll turn around and diss OTHER Black people that racists have targeted as well....and use ANOTHER excuse to do it. Do you understand my concern? In other words, whoever racist White folks are attacking....THEY start attacking. No research. Just....whatever they see or hear White folks saying about a group of Black people...THEY take it and run with it and start banging on them too. Now it's Africans....next week it'll be other FBA they're attacking with some "excuse" they come up with for doing so.

ProfD I hear what you're saying. You said they feed/contribute to the economy instead of ripping off the economy. That's the narrative they're TRYING to paint about the Somalis and Haitians but you can't walk up into a Wal-Mart without seeing a line full of Mexicans and other Central Americans trying to wire money that they made HERE back home to Central America. They're sending BILLIONS of dollars out of the country; but somehow lately....the focus has been on the Somalis.

ProfD Black folks could skip the pagan holidays and beauty products too. Our people can stop... 1) celebrating birthdays 2) attending weddings, funerals, baptisms and retirement parties too 3) shopping in non-Black establishments 4) working for white folks 5) enriching predominantly white institutions This sounds like something straight out of Neely Fuller Jr.'s Counter-Racist code....lol. You can put it all in a nutshell by saying, our people should only come together to do that which is CONTRUCTIVE. If they don't have plans to do anything constructive when they get together....stay away from eachother...lol. Many Black folks are Americans. True. But many Jews are American also, that fact doesn't force them to celebrate Christmas. As Americans....they take advantage of the opportunity to THINK FOR THEMSELVES and establish their own holidays at their pleasure instead of letting gentiles TELL them when to celebrate. Let's call if for what it is....being mentally lazy as well as harboring a "go along to get along" attitude where they no longer want to think for themselves. Just like a lot of the immigrants, these niggaz love being around White people and enjoying the benefits of White institutions. They just don't come right out and admit it.....that's the only difference. They sell out without ADMITTING that they sold out. The jury is still out. Some folks believe slavery, Jim Crow and lynching are still alive and well. Slaver still exists....it's just transformed. But the way some of these niggaz are acting and talking, it won't be long before Chattel Slavery is re-established out in the open and you'll have some Black influencers on Youtube and Instagram doing lives trying to justify it and grinning with a bowl of popcorns talking about how Black folks "deserved" it. Look at how some of them are grinning and giggling over the treatment of Somalia and the recent military actions in Nigeria. Clearly no matter WHAT these racists do to other Black folks, some of these fools'll find a way to justify it. "Todays topic is: Was Slavery Really That Bad? I mean, think about it peepuzz.... Back durin' Slavery.... The employment rate was high. The incarceration rate was low. Unda' Massa...ebre'body was Chrischun' And did you hear about any Black folks bein' homeless? AMAZING! " Just like you have Black folks back then who helped them capture other Black folks, you'll have silly ass niggas sitting up in front of a damn camera working right along with the Racists to justify Chattel Slavery 2.0.

Hey there young lady! How was your Christmas holiday? I hope you had a nice time with your family!

ProfD Not inherent because it doesn't affect everyone. Neither does homosexuality, but it does seem to affect/afflict a certain percentage of the population. We see this pattern from one generation to the next. Conditioning and programming are very powerful. Giving people just enough to survive and/or be comfortable seems to work. That makes sense. It appears they got this thing down to a science where they focus on giving people more of what they WANT (weed, pornography, etc....) to offset not getting enough of what they actually NEED (healthcare, good paying jobs, etc...).

ProfD The white folks in power are perfectly fine with it. They would let the rest of us know if it wasn't cool. Ofcourse. Most wealthy elite White people are GLOBALISTS and could care less about the ethnic or cultural cohesion of a nation. They owe no allegiance to ANY country, not even America. Most rich people from all countries tend to associate with and help eachother over fellow citizen of a lower class. They are doing what s group of people are supposed to do. If they were doing what they were suppose Establish their own communities before doing any business with others or outsiders. Only because the U.S. allows them to set up little communities and businesses instead of MAKING them blend in and become American. You don't ask a friend can you and your family stay at his house for a few weeks, then proceed to raid his fridge and take a portion of a food down to the basement along with a television, furniture, and even build a door from the basement to the outside for easier access...lol. The white folks in power are addressing that situation right now. Stay tuned They're addressing it alright. They're picking and choosing WHICH immigrants get to take advantage of the wealth of America and which ones will be shut out of it.

frankster In response to me saying, "That same "faith" prevented many of the men (or encouraged the women to DISCOURAGE the boys and men) from committing acts of desperation that would either have gotten the entire community killed....or free." You said: Thats like saying Placebo and Nocebo have the same Effect....Do they? Wrong analogy. Your analogy places the focus on the effect. While my example places the focus on the cause (Christian faith). That reveals that Christianity is a Tool....One must Learn how to Use - If One is to benefit from it Absolutely. Infact, Christianity is more than just a tool...it's WEAPON. And White people certainly know how to use it and have reaped benefits from doing so....lol.

That begs a couple immediate questions........... 1. Are those character flaws...fear and laziness...inherent? I ask because if they aren't, why have they persisted from one generation to the next despite intelligent people like yourself and others CLEARLY pointing them out to our people? 2. What....if anything....can be done about the fear and laziness?

I'm not sure if immigrants should even BE allowed to have their own geographical communities. I support legal immigration as long as it's fair.... However when so many are allowed to come to America and pool up into their own neighborhoods, they don't integrate into society too well. You see the biggest example with Latinos. I personally don't think non-citizens should be allowed to own businesses and property in the United States.

Again??? Were you here during her absence?

I've been noticing that the SAME people who dye their hair blonde are usually the SAME people who celebrate Christmas, Easter, Thanks Giving, and any other day White people established for their "subjects" to celebrate. And both types usually use the same excuses for doing so. There was a time in America....roughly between 1965-1995....where Black folks were coming out of celebrating those pagan holidays and we were doing our own thing. That also was the same time period where Black women were more likely to embrace their natural hair texture and color! I don't think those examples are coincidences. And just like after around 1995 more AfroAmerican women started shamelessly dying their hair blonde and wearing red lipstick again, this was around the same time period a lot of AfroAmericans went BACK to shamelessly celebrating Christmas and other holidays! Again, I don't think they were coincidences. Around 1995 was the time period where the collective mentality of the community started becoming weaker and more fragmented. "Come on bro..... What's wrong with enjoying a few days off to spend with your family and friends? What's the harm?" "Nothing..... However if you REALLY loved your family and relished the time you spent with them you wouldn't need a White man to TELL you when to do it. You'd take the initiative to do it yourself. When you want to get drunk...you do it when you like. When you want to get high....you do it when you like. But when it comes to spending time with your family, you wait for a specially designated day to do so." "Excuse me but I am NOT trying to be White. I'm just trying to be ME." Just like you have some Black women who'll get up on stage on national television with their hair dyed blonde and proclaim that they're a "proud Black woman"; you have so-called conscious and "woke" Black Influencers on social media who will do a live in Christmas sweaters or with Santa Claus hats on sipping on eggnog and justifying their behavior by saying things like "YOLO" or "it ain't that serious". What's the problem? If our people start shamelessly celebrating and embracing THOSE traditions and making up excuses for doing so....what other traditions will we start going back to celebrating and embracing? Jim Crow? Slavery? The brainwashing and programming has been taken to another level, and I realized that when I started hearing Christmas music BEFORE Halloween.....lol.

Man, I love this jam......................... "Alright now....gather 'round ladies. Big Mamma got somethin' to say. This ain't no jive so I need yall to listen carefully. Put the caps back on them Ripple bottles and put the joints down. Cuz' I need yallz complete attention." Yall know what it is.....lol.

Well when you don't even know HOW to make your own bread...............

But I blame the Black Democrats especially for going along with this mess and not forcing their demands to be met. We know a lot of the White Democrats are really Republican operatives and don't have our best interests in mind. Not all of them....but a lot of them. So I'm not surprised at how many of them cave in to and go along with the Republicans. But it seems to me there would be a core group of BLACK and even a few Latino Democrats who would be leading the charge to get some of these truly Progressive measures passed like Universal Healthcare and Prison Reform You have "The Squad" in Congress...but what are they fighting for besides immigration?
