  1. Lol.... Does anyone STILL honestly believe this dude is Black?
  2. The question I have is why are these niggaz still out here walking around hollering and slobbering on themselves infront of the same racist devils who KILLED the brother in the first place? For YEARS now we've known that most of the protests are useless. All this protesting CLEARLY ain't stopping the race soldiers from continuing to kill. Just wasting a lot of time and energy running around in circles sweating in the hot sun and acting a fool....until MORE Nazi troopers come along and cuff them and haul them away. Should we just ignore the death of our brother and let it go? HELL NO. But we should do WHAT WORKS....not what clearly doesn't.
  3. Franchesca Ok..... If He works for you, then stick with Him. Don't let anybody mess up a good Relationship if you have one.
  4. Uh huh..... The question was simply ILLOGICAL....and I pointed that fact out. You can dress it up and claim it was just an "exercise in abstract thinking" if you want, but you can't get butter from a duck. You can play that shit all day: 😜 "Hey yall. What IF 3 + 3 =17 ??? " 🤪 "What IF men started growing vaginas and ovaries...would they still be men?" Have fun with these weird ass questions that aren't based in logic. Don't worry about ME disturbing you.
  5. Franchesca Good morning, yeah we're still here....lol. If it's the map you posted....that's not the kingdom of Juda but a map of a portion of West Africa. That is NOT Judah/Juda or anywhere else in ancient Israel or Palestine. 1. We don't KNOW that God told Abraham that. We only know it CLAIMS this in the Bible. 2.We don't even know that Abraham even existed, let alone who "his seed" is. 3.Many people of many different races are claiming to be "Abraham's seed". Christian AfroAmericans are just one group of many. We need to slow down on trying to take the Bible as some sort of history book of facts. No. If you're Black, most likely you're an AfroAmerican and we are descendants of the ancient Egyptians and Ethiopians. Not Jews. No, but you've clearly been influenced by Christianity and the Bible that White folks FORCED on our ancestors when they enslaved/colonized them. It's not like God came to you in a dream and told you about these figures. Most Black folks would know nothing about Jacob, Jesus, OR the Bible if White folks hadn't invaded their lands in Africa and INTRODUCED these concepts to them before exploiting them. The Church doesn't have the Torah. The Torah is a book of Laws that Moses allegedly gave to the Children of Israel. The Old Testament of the Bible is NOT the Torah. It contains portions of it...but it's not it. Sis, if you don't know the full history of your family and lineage...like I and most AfroAmericans don't. It's somewhat sad but it's not the end of the world. We can make a NEW START right now. No need to GENERATE one and FABRICATE one by claiming some ancestry in Paletine or with ancient Jews. We need to slow down on trying to take the Bible as some sort of history book of facts. It's a book written by the hands of man. It's been modified and manipulated over and over again through the centuries and even IF it started off as Holy....it's clearly no longer such. We need to go straight to the Source...The SUPREME BEING! Go straight to God and ask God for the answer. You don't need to search for It in some man-made book designed to confuse you or keep you confused.
  6. Cynique My assertion can be challenged....but not legitimately by YOU. You actually thought you had an argument by focusing on my saying "believed" until I pointed out that Delano's post IS in the present tense and despite that...my assertion is just as valid -his question is still ILLOGICAL. It's clear you don't have the intellect or emotional fortitude to go toe to toe with me in this arena so bowing out is probably your best bet. You need to stay in you lane....going rounds with your new boyfriend on here, lol.
  7. Well if you wanna get technical about it and dissect words.....he actually said: "What if you discovered everything you BELIEVE is wrong...." That was PRESENT TENSE. So the question is: How can you sincerely believe that EVERYTHING you believe is wrong without simultaneously acknowledging that THAT discovery is also wrong if you believe it?
  8. Gregorious I think it's time for TRUMP to trade places with Brittney; since he's so cozy with Russia.
  9. Yeah...ok. It's become obvious by now to just about everyone on the site....that I "got" you in my pocket. But let's not even go there. Let's focus on something else....lol
  10. It seems that Bill Clinton changed the face of the Democrat Party. The last Democrat President before him....Carter...was a a solid Liberal who promoted Liberal ideas and policies. "Slick Willy" came along and decided the easiest way to get in office on the heels of the Reagan-Bush era is to offer the public a "Republican Light" policy which pretty much amounted to being a Democrat in name only but promoting Republican policies like ending welfare and other social programs, being unfairly tough on poor criminals, and selling out the unions and wage workers.
  11. Cynique Well...... Looks like he's good for getting a rise out of you. And something tells me you probably don't consider that the worse thing in the world.
  12. More White folks have murdered eachother in the Russia-Ukraine War in these past 4 months than ALL the Black people who have murdered eachother both last year and so far this year. About 46,000 have been killed so far and those are CONSERVATIVE estimates.
  13. Delano This is an ILLOGICAL question. If you discovered that "everything" you believed was wrong.....then you would have to doubt that very "discovery" itself also! You would have to believe THAT discovery was also wrong since you would be compelled to "believe" it after discovering it. It's like a person who comes up to you and says everything he says is a lie. It would be impossible for them to be telling the truth.
  14. ProfD Don't tell me Russia has plea deals too. ((shakes head)) I guess the legal systems around the world are looking at the U.S. and seeing how much money they are making off of victimizing and entrapping it's citizens.
  15. ProfD That's the difference between the OLD SCHOOL Black politicians and the new cats who came along after so-called "integration" who grew up confused as hell and don't know who their enemy is. The old school Black politicians spoke directly to the concerns of the Black community and didn't pull any punches. The new Black politicians (those under 65 today) who went to school with White folks, smoking weed and drinking with them at parties, and getting blow jobs from White girls have a totally different outlook. They really believe in this "can't we all get along" garbage that seeks to be friends with and compromise with their open enemy. Most of those born in 1960 or later don't know the full STING of racism and how wicked White folks really are because they usually don't witness it until it's too late. When it comes to mayors like Young and Barry....a lot of young Black people mistakenly believe that THEY are the reasons that so much of Detroit, D.C. or other inner cities controlled by Black mayors are run down or have a lot of crime. What they don't realize is BEFORE these Black mayors took over....the majority of the city may have been clean but the segregated ghettoes Black folks were forced into were run down and crime ridden because of extreme poverty. When these brothers took over, they provided relief for OUR community and expanded the wealth so that it would reach us.
  16. I see, you're the typical lazy negro that Greg talks about so often.
  17. Greg Most black women choose white men because they find them more attractive and much better providers than the very unreliable black man. When it comes to women, attraction tends to be somewhat complicated........ They can find a man "attractive" in the sense that he is wealthy and has the potential for being a good provider but UNATTRACTIVE sexually. Vice-vera....they can find a man who is broke and totally untrust worthy VERY ATTRACTIVE sexually and physically and want to have many babies by him. It's been my observation that in THIS society, most women see Black males as attractive SEXUALLY and even PHYSICALLY (although this causes conflict in their minds because they were raised to see white skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes as attractive and are confused as to why they can't helpl but find the opposite of that attractive), but many don't trust us to be able to adequately provide for them and the offspring we produce. This causes a lot of distress in the psyche of a lot of women. Subconsciously, they want their attractions to "line up" neatly. They want the SAME men they find sexually attractive to be the great providers and protectors; not the lames and nerds whom they find generally a turn off. But unfortunately for them, in this society it's the nerds, lames, and "soft" White men who often have the most money and power.
  18. Troy I've met a few Black people who think and talk like Greg, but something still tells me he's not a Black man. Perhaps maybe even bi-racial...but not "fully" Black. As you know, I've contended over the years that the intelligent discussion has waned because the INTELLECT of our community has continued to wane over the past 50 years or so. I remember back before 2000 when I would participate in the many Black discussion boards, there would be pages upon pages of dialog and debate....mostly with relatively intelligent and educated Black people who knew how to maneuver a computer and the internet and were knowledgeable enough of various subjects and MATURE enough to hold prolonged discussions on them. Over a 20 year or so period I saw a steady decline in intellectual and civil discussion as it devolved into online beefs, petty emotionally driven arguments, threats, sexual harassment, ect... Now much of the online dialog between Black people takes place in SOCIAL MEDIA in chatrooms like Youtube or Twitter. And these discussions don't consist of structured dialog so much as they consist of highly individualized posts made up of 20 words or less and half of THAT is usually emoji...lol. These social media platforms are also usually HEAVILY moderated and HEAVILY biased preventing alternative opinions to be expressed. The intellectual decline is real.
  19. I share those same sentiments about Troy, however I have to wonder...... LOL....how do we know you REALLY feel that way about Troy and you're not just saying that to keep from being banned???
  20. For one thing he actually signed up and joined the site. Perhaps Troy found that slightly commendable since most so-called conscious Black folks won't even make that commitment and would rather just drop a few posts as guest before dropping off the scene and not even bothering to stick around for the response! But another sad fact is........ Racist or not, there are so few of OUR OWN people who are willing to (or capable of) engage in intelligent discussions on boards like this that sometimes even dialog with a TROLL is welcomed...lol. It's an extreme analogy but, think of a person who has been in solitary confinement for years. There only contact is with prison guards; so if someone comes to visit them, they're probably not going to be TOO picky about who that person is since any visitation and human communication is welcomed. Another analogy would be how the biggest goofball who wouldn't get the time of day from the average woman will often get some conversation and even some play....and perhaps a bit more....from a rather ugly woman who is starving for the attention. I remember you mentioned in another thread that anti-semites wouldn't be welcomed on the average Jewish platform. While you're correct, most Jewish platforms probably have very high traffic of Jews who participate on a regular basis and engage in conversation. A Jewish literary site the size of AALBC would probably have 50 or 60 REGULAR members engaged in routine dialog and debate on everything from the latest political issues to religious doctrine. Not to mention many more infrequent members who add to the discussions. There is simply no benefit what-so-ever to entertain a troll pestering the site. I did quite a bit of non-professional social activism in the past, especially when it comes to fighting for the homeless, worker's rights, and fighting racial discrimination. Low level activity, but it was enough for me to learn quite a few things about human nature in general and the behavior and thinking of our own people (AfroAmericans) in specific. Especially what gets our attention and what the majority of us are attracted to. One of the strangest things I noticed over the years was that no matter what social issue we were fighting for: Most Black people were uninterested in serious issues and were more interested in having a good time, even when those serious issues directly involved THEM like fighting for some basic shelter in the wintertime for them or keeping their jobs. They didn't want to attend the meetings let alone sit in them for hours; infact most didn't care much for engaging in simple dialog over these issues. Many found it too boring to hold their attention. However..... Most White people were the opposite and seemed VERY curious about our meetings and what we were fighting for and about, even when it didn't concern them directly. If we held meetings, most of the participants were White people. Even in a community that was majority Black....White people often made up a disproportionate number of the audience. And they weren't shy about engaging in those meetings...asking questions, even offering money and other forms of support. Even in racial discussions where I was unapologetically pro-Black I would often find more White people interested in dialog with me....even if they opposed my position...than many other Black people who simply were uninterested in what we had to say and wouldn't even show up. The sad fact is, sometimes racist White trolls are more interesting to dialog with than many of your own people who obviously find intelligent and meaningful discussion about serious issues PAINFULLY BORING and will treat YOU like a troll for "bothering" them with shit they are uninterested in.
  21. ProfD When Coleman Young....Detroit's first Black mayor....became mayor, one of the first things he did was MAKE SURE that no White cops were patroling Black neighborhoods alone. He made sure that in Black neighborhoods either there would be Black police officers (of which there were very few when he first got into office) or a White office WITH A BLACK PARTNER. But what was totally unacceptable is to have two or three White cops riding around in a Black neighborhood by themselves like Starsky and Hutch shooting up the place and conspiring all kinds of devilishment with no oversight. Greg Was the White man "complying" with police orders when they went to serve him a warrant and he refused to come out of his house and instead started shooting at them???
  22. That's why I'd hire YOU as the "Madam" to keep the other women in line. "Pioneer, I TOLD you the girls are having a busy night tonight! They already made you over $25,000! Now leave me alone and let me get back to work!!!!"
  23. ProfD Agreed. This could flip racism upside down. Especially when grandparents will have a harder time denying their mixed grand chilluns. ...or further add to the confusion of ALREADY confused people. Namely the people of color. The White folks themselves are less likely to be confused no matter how much the races mix. White folks know who they are and have known who they were for centuries, even while keeping the rest of the population in a state of chaos and confusion about their own identities. Neely Fuller Jr. said knowing that they are White or atleast classified as White is ESSENTIAL in the practice of "White Supremacy". Having non-White offspring won't disturb this pattern that has worked for them for centuries.
  24. Not sure what his "racial blend" is but he looks like he can make a GREAT cup of coffee! Who is that, Juan Valdez????
