Pioneer1

Stefan I stopped eating caramel popcorn ONLY because I forgot about it..lol...until you reminded me. Now I'm gonna run to the store tomorrow and get some. I used to TEAR UP a box of Crunch-n-Munch. I hope they still make it. But Pioneer1, you hit upon a question that has long vexed me. Why were we humans created if God means to kill so many of us at a future point in time? 1. I wouldn't phrase it as God "killing" humans (not most humans atleast); perhaps ALLOWING humans to die would be a better way of looking at it. 2. Physical death among human beings is only a transition from one Reality to Another Life in this world is usually good, however death is usually a GOOD thing also because as your body begins to wear out and break down or you get problems so terrible you can't tolerate them anymore....you can look forward to an "exit" plan instead of being stuck here.

Stefan Everyone reacts to grief differently, but you can pretty much predict how a FOOL acts in any occasion..and that's INAPPROPRIATELY. Those people's bodies weren't even in the ground yet before you got these flabby mouthed fools running around here talking about how much the LOVE and FORGIVE the killer as a way to hide their cowardice and decision to do absolutely nothing about it. ...and as an aside, you also got others who might have a little more sense (only a little more) who are smart enough NOT to forgive and love the devil but believe "Karma" or "Jesus" will take care of him. Neither group plans on doing anything to TRULY protect the Black community from future tragedies like this, but one is just a little more creative in their excuses than the other.

Don't believe that crap for a second. The same bastards COMPLAINING about "the government" are PART OF that same government. When they complain about "the goverment" they are really complaining about the Black folks and other people of color working inside of it. They don't like the fact that in the United States today you have so many non-White people in positions of authority like mayors, police officers, and especially in Congress. If you look back in history when "the government" was populated by nothing but White men....there were no complaints about it. It was magnificent in their opinion. All of this complaint about "the government" has gone too far and his being oppressive comes from racist White men who only want to see THEMSELVES in power. Like Daddy Love said in Do The Right Thing: And that's the TRUTH...RUTH.

Lol....and here I was thinking YOU were one of them!

Come on bro, of all people here YOU know better than that. Infact.... I bet nearly half of the niccaz in that parking lot at the scene HAD guns in their cars....guns of all types too. They could have executed that damn devil on the spot before the cops were able to haul him off to safety, but they CHOSE not to. Oh they'll use them on EACHOTHER....but when "white jesus" comes knocking through the door and slaughters their own....they all of a sudden turn into pacifists.

Addison To sit up here and deny that the Bible condones slavery is indeed DENIAL itself. It indeed supports slavery starting with Canaan being allegedly being "cursed" to be a slave to his brothers, as well as giving the Israelites permission to enslave OTHER groups of people who were not of their race like the Canaanites and other groups. It may not have been the SAME TYPE of slavery that was instituted here in the Americas, but it was slavery none the less: confining people and forcing them to work against their will. There's no way around it. You will have to abandon that Caucasian's religion and his so-called "holy books" one day, and the quicker you do so the quicker you advance toward liberation.

She'll forgive the no good racist devil in Buffalo who slaughtered nearly a dozen elderly Black women....but she can't forgive her own Black daughter who took some insurance money from her 20 years ago, or the Black woman who USED to be her best friend but stole her boyfriend in highschool 40 years ago. These niggaz are a trip....lol

1. Black America will "put racism aside" when the White folks COMMITTING THEIR RACISM put it to the side first. Telling Black folks to put racism to the side and focus their attention on something else is like telling a rape victim to stop worrying about the crimes the rapist is committing against her and focus on global warming. 2. I HOPE a deadly asteroid strikes the planet. I HOPE it's powerful enough to destroy this civilization. Maybe this event will be the event that will change the paradigm and get the wicked rulers out of power since so many other attempts have failed so far.

ProfD Even when those right wing Nazis occasionally criticize a fellow Nazi or a party policy....I believe it's merely a game or political strategy...definately not sincere. Sometimes these Nazi bastids just say the right thing or go against a bill so that it's ON RECORD later on in history that they were "against" something or spoke out on something, knowing damn well their little critique wasn't enough to do any damage to the overall agenda they're party is pushing. For example...... Because of the recent massacre in Texas with so many non-Black children being killed, they HAVE to say something against it in order to garner world support. When nearly a dozen Black folks were killed up in Buffalo...they could remain silent because much of the world doesn't care. But MUCH of the world looks like Latinos...even if they're Arab, Pakistani, and even Asians to a certain extent...with their tannish skin and straight hair...so when they saw those children they saw THEIR children. So they felt more compassion....and these racist bastards know this and HAD to come out and condemn it and even say a word or two on gun violence. They know it won't stop the overall agenda the Republican Party is pushing, but it looks and sounds good and it gives them a RECORD to point to of them condemning the violence and speaking out.

ProfD My brutha! Glad to be back too. It looks like there's still quite a bit of traffic on this board, but perhaps I'm looking at it from a perspective of having been gone from it for several months. I can imagine *how* you could suggest other black folks are to blame for the Buffalo shooting situation. Looking forward to reading your thoughts in that regard. Oh you'll get 'em....trust me, lol. You might not AGREE with all of them, but you'll get my reasons why I say it's primarily OUR fault that this mess happened and probably will happen again. Delano You can have a habit that could cause you to steal from your mother. However unless she's severely abusive. There's no justification in shooting her 🤔 Not sure how that ties into the subject of the thread but.... You say there's no justification for shooting her. What if she's suffering horribly from an incurable disease that either doesn't kill her or will takes many months if not years to kill her?

Addison I haven't read all of the comments yet but to sit up here and deny that the Bible condones slavery is indeed DENIAL itself. Those scriptures that you provided refers to how Israelites should treat OTHER ISRAELITES....not the other races they came into contact with. It indeed supports slavery starting with Canaan being allegedly being "cursed" to be a slave to his brothers, as well as giving the Israelites permission to enslave OTHER groups of people who were not of their race like the Canaanites and other groups.

Like MOST Black Republicans and Black Trump lovers...... You don't believe hate crimes happen unless YOU'RE a victim of one. You don't believe that racism exists unless YOU'RE a victim of it. Like old uncle tom Clarence Thomas who denied racism for much of his career and was against affirmative action until they tried to keep his Black behind off the so-called Supreme Court and THEN all of a sudden he started complaining about "racism" and "high tech lynching". You Conservative Negroes are a trip....lol.

I don't give Paul Ryan or any other of these racist hypocrites for telling the truth about something so obvious that the entire world can see. How is telling us Trump stole the election....something the entire GLOBE let alone just the United States clearly knew...some sort of revelation of truth? I KNOW he stole the election. The Republicans KNOW he stole the election. Hell, Trump HIMSELF knows he stole the election. Infact, President OBAMA knew he stole the election and didn't do a damn thing about it. Until those in power start exerting that power to enforce justice and righteousness....the crap will continue to happen. Just like they stole the election back in 2000 and Clinton didn't do a damn thing about it. I'll start giving these racist bastids credit when they start revealing HIDDEN knowledge about the racist things they're doing to our planet and communities that have yet to be uncovered....and ofcourse stop doing it. THEN I'll give them some credit for repentance.

What's up family! I know it's been a while since I've been here and I miss "most" of you....lol. I'm here now though! I'm gonna spend Memorial Day weekend with one of my favorite online families. Who do you blame for the massacre of those elderly and female Black folks up in Buffalo New York a couple weeks ago? I blame OTHER Black folks primarily, and there's a reason for that that I'll get into later on in the discussion, but as of now I'm curious as to what others of you think.

ANYTHING with Jennifer Hudson on the cover of it is a great look....lol. Sister is as fine as wine.

Stefan What did I say that was a "misconception"? Nothing you said disagreed with my statement. You just provided more detail.

Thousands are being evicted around the nation every day. Emergency measures to help people out during the pandemic ended too soon and the Democrats and so-called "Progressive" politicians aren't fighting enough to extend those programs let alone increase them. It was a disaster bound to happen. As more people are getting sick and the deaths are increasing....instead of countering the Republican leadership who wants to just throw Americans out into the workforce and increase as much production as possible not caring how many Americans die in the process....the Democrat leadership are COMPLICIT with this position. Most grass roots Progressives not only support the maintenance and extension of the old moratoriums against eviction, but they also supported an extension of the Unemployment benefits as well as keeping much of the society shut down to slow down this virus. But Biden and the upper echalon of the Democrat Party....who are really Republicans....let them collapse and now you see the result. The virus has sky rocketed and so have the deaths and disabilities.

I'm not sure what to make of CRT as a subject to be studied because I haven't found an actual curriculum to examine. But what I do know is that the TERM "CRT/Critical Race Theory" is being used by racist Whites and Conservatives of all races as a catch-all phrase for both Black history and White racism. Whether a course in elementary, middle, or high school is actually CRT or not (and as most people point out...it's typically a college course) any class that promotes Black historic achievement or details historic racism from Whites is being LABELED Critical Race Theory and targeted to be removed.

If you don't mind my asking, how much have you made from this investment so far? ....and how much have you spent?

Coggins All of what you just said does NOTHING to prove or even justify your point that CRT is a farse or that it is used to regulate Black children into an inferior status. What exactly is it about the CONTENT of Critcal Race Theory that makes it false or harmful to Black children? Let's have THAT debate. Don't say sit up and say "Strawberry ice cream is bad for you" and when questioned as to why, you start talking about how the devil is a liar and is trying to capture souls. Show us some evidence FROM CRT to justify your position.

Not sure if anyone covered this issue since the controversy a week ago but Whoopi got in trouble for claiming that the Holocaust wasn't because of race. They even suspended her for that comment. Well......she's right. Jews...for the most part....are NOT a separate race from the rest of Caucasians. They are part of the same race. There ARE some Black and mixed race Jews, but they are a relative minority. The vast majority are Caucasian (White). Jews are an ETHNICITY...not a race. They are bound together not by blood but by culture and history. The only difference between them and other White folks are their religious and cultural practices, and sometimes THAT isn't even different. The only time race comes into account is in the fact that most Jews have a lot of African ancestry in their distant past....so like Italians and Greeks....they aren't "pure" Caucasians. And that's one of the reasons they were targeted by the Nazis.

.....said the immortal Tony Montana, lol. Just dropped by to see how everyone's doing and let you know I'm still kicking. Been busy working over 60 hours a week and looking at various investment strategies trying to figure out a way to get myself out of poverty. I see there's still a lot of crypto-currency talk going on in these threads lately. When I have time I'm going to have to read a little more deeply into them. If I have time I'll post a few comments today, but in the mean time.....peace family!

Minister Farrakhan has BEEN warning us about vaccines and other medicines from these racist devils, and he's been doing so for DECADES. Other Ministers like Rizza Islam and Wesley Muhammad have also been recent warners. No need to re-invent the wheel.....we've already had decades upon decades of warnings to educated us on the dangers of taking the devil's poisons.

nels You and other right-wingers have been constantly running around on the internet talking about this "global reset" that is supposed to take place. Yall claimed it was supposed to take place way back in 2012...then 2015....then in 2020....now it's 2022. Exactly when is this thing supposed to be RESET? Because I'm LOOKING FORWARD to a Global Reset, to be honest. I don't like the way this world has been ran for the past 500 years and I think it's about TIME for a major global resent and a NEW WORLD ORDER. I'm not only WAITING on it I'm LOOKING FORWARD to it. I wish they'd stop teasing us and BRING IT.

Mzuri It's not that serious. But is that how you look while you're asleep? NO...Miss Lady....that's not how I look when I sleep. Because I don't sleep on my stomach....lol....I sleep on my side. nels "racist devils." ? | The sign of a small mind. And your passsive-aggressive mannerisms are a sign of a small "something else"....lol. Troy True, but surely something can be done about it. The political process is not total useless … is it? Yeah....form OUR OWN political party and abandon both. That's one of the best things we can do about it. If a woman his caught between two abusive men, unless she's alone on a deserted island...she always has the option to LEAVE BOTH and keep looking until she finds a man who'll lover her. As AfroAmericans we need to learn how to be INDEPENDENT and DO FOR SELF instead of constantly running from one abusive relationship to another hoping that one racist will treat us better than the last racist we were with. a lot of young people want to leave America, so disenfranchised, they feel other countries provide better opportunities. It is sad for people have legitimate reasons to feel this way… For a lot of young people, there ARE more opportunities outside of the nation than there are here. That's a sad but true reality. A lot of young educated Black people can just go right over to Canada and find better employment opportunities there than here.
