  1. WRONG One of the primary goals of MOST anti-vaxxers is to be LEFT ALONE and not forced to take an injection against their will. Troy Dude, this is a MAJOR mistake. You won't even take the time to question your sources. All jokes aside this is problematic. I don't know if I'd call it "major"....no harm was done, lol. It was an HONEST mistake because the source is called "The Guardian" just like it's more popular colleague. At any rate, does that mean the story is IN-accurate? Will you use my mixing up the distinction as an excuse to dismiss the FACT of the reporting, or the other facts that I've mentioned in the greater argument? But ethnic based bio-weapons are real. That's not "misinformation"....that's a fact. We live in an era where...when facts don't support OUR position...they are often labeled "misinformation" and dismissed. Believe it or not, I value your perspectives. Because it helps me understand how people think. Lol..... Yeah, that....and it gives you a target to aim at.
  2. Cynique That's right. Why waste your time? This guy is inflicted with the cognitive dissonance virus. NOTHING you say will change his mind. These anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorists are akin to cult members. And you should know a lot of anti-vaxxers look at YOU the same way. They see you as gullible "sheeple" who don't question anything but just blindly follow the rest of the herd. An equal waste of time. At this point people pretty much have their minds MADE UP as to whether they're gonna take it or not. The next step is for a national MANDATE to just FORCE people to take it against their will. And THEN things will get REALLY interesting...lol.
  3. ProfD While you might enjoy the pleasure of her company, I wouldn't suggest letting her ride on the passenger side What I'd have her riding with me for....she wouldn't be able to do anywhere else BUT the passenger side, lol. "Oh, Okaaaaay.....since you talked me in to it!"
  4. Del What ARE "middle class values"?
  5. ProfD However, I see some brothas wearing suits that look too small and too tight. Also, they must be modeling socks because the pants stop above their ankles Some of that is because AfroAmerican men aren't "made" today like they were back in the day. Back before 1980 most AfroAmerican men were slim and muscular so their clothes fitted on them well. Much better than Caucasians men. Most of us were engaged in more manual labor jobs so we burnt off most of that excess fat and had strong muscles. But today so many young unemployed bruthaz are fat and sloppy with big bellies flopping out of their shirts and a big bouncy ass like a woman's...their clothes don't fit on them right. Running from the police....their belly bouncing in ONE direction and ass bouncing in ANOTHER. So many of these young dudes have titties from eating so much garbage and smoking so much fake weed messing up their hormones too. On top of that..... They hear that "sagging" is disrespectful and thuggish so they try to do the opposite and start FLOODING with pants almost all the way up to their knees looking like Steve Urkel...lol Just confusion on top of confusion. **WARNING: Sexist, classist, commentary and visuals ahead...lol They'll buy a size too small which makes a fitted dress look like a sausage casing Man you're ABSOLUTELY right about that one. It's mostly a poor woman's thing because I see so many Black, Latino, and White women dressing this way too when they live in poverty. They walk around in these cheap ass stretch pants with runs and holes in them. Ass flat, bulging, or funny made like a square sponge. You don't see rich and middle class women dressing like that. If they have on tights or yoga pants...they make sure they are MADE right to look good in them before going outside. When was the last time you saw and old wealthy woman walking outside with her belly hanging out from under her shirt? They MAKE SURE they got it together. So many poor young women are "funny made" from eating all of that garbage they get off the dollar menu. It seems like a lot of these younger women under 40 have no sense of "shame" either. They don't care how their body is made or how they look...someone told them they should be able to wear anything and get respect and admiration.
  6. Yeah, Oklahoma is right next to Arkansas....clearly down South. If I had to choose another region for Oklahoma other than the South, I would have chosen "out West" like West Texas. No way would I have considered Oklahoma a "Midwestern" state.
  7. It says The Guardian...maybe it's a different The Guardian than the English newpaper. I thought it was just the Nigerian sub-sector of The Guardian paper. Bioweapons designed to kill only people of particular race | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News — Features — The Guardian Nigeria News – Nigeria and World News
  8. Well let your racist friends know that if I go....I won't go alone, lol.
  9. Lol...sounds spoiled to me.
  10. Troy I haven't lived in Tulsa, but I've been there a few times. When I was there people talked with a southern twang. In many establishments you walk into they were watching Fox News. It was hot and when you left the city you'd see miles and miles of just flat land. And this is the ABSOLUTE PROOF that Tulsa is down South: It has several Waffle Houses....lol
  11. Troy There are people, who actually live here, that would disagree with you two. Come on man... There are people down in Oklahoma who believe Trump is still President too, lol. There are some people down there who believe Texas is it's own sovereign nation...lol. I've actually TALKED to some of them.
  12. Troy Many girls in my neighborhood had children in high school, Lol....were any of them YOUR children too?
  13. Troy Are these "racist Caucasians" leaders in the scientific community? Racist Caucasians are in leadership positions in almost ALL sectors of society...which includes the scientific community. Now this doesn't mean that everyone in leadership IS a racist Caucasians....nor does it mean that all of the Caucasians in leadership are racist. It means that they have a PRESENCE in the leadership in nearly all sectors of their society. They can't be the same ones, for those people died long ago. They can if re-incarnation is a reality. And besides that..... If racism is in their DNA, in their genetic make-up...then they are just as malicious, hateful, and destructive as their forefathers. Those racist traits pass down like blonde hair or blue eyes. So the people who developed the vaccines and are encouraging us to take them are like the Nazis? Not all of them. Nazis didn't pop up out of nowhere...they had an origin in a culture. If you study the Nazis and Hitler....he actually LEARNED his racist science from the United States! Far more white people have been vaccinated in the US than Black people. What are these racists up to? Ever heard of ethnic-based weapons? It's real. Check out this article in the Guardian, a paper you trust: https://guardian.ng/features/health/bioweapons-designed-to-kill-only-people-of-particular-race/ You guys who talk so much about "Investigating for themselves" kill me. I guess you are at home running double blind experiments, reading the latest academic journals, and maybe set up a home lab, huh. Problem is...we DON'T have the equipment at home to test it and see if it's safe or not. We have to take them at their word...and they are KNOWN LIARS. Wow. The Minister is old enough to have witnessed what polio can do to a human body, and it is curious that he would encourage people not to take that vaccine. He's old enough to know. And he's also WISE enough to know that probably Polio ITSELF and the vaccine for it probably come from the same source. The racists. The Nation of Islam teach that MOST of the disease Black folks have come from living around and following the destructive habits of Caucasians. This Covid virus is WITNESS of that. Look how low the Covid rates are in Sub-Saharan Africa where there is less contact with Caucasians....compared to AfroAmerica where we are in routine contact with them. Is there any question in your mind that if we weren't around them...this disease wouldn't be an issue? 😉Bare in mind I'm not pushing any opinion one way or another on this issue....just answering the questions you ask me, lol.
  14. Oh you DID honey?? Well.....I'm gonna PUT IT ON CYNIQUE ANYWAY. Yeah...SHE'S the one who said it...lol
  15. Cynique White Supremists can't wait to crush you like a roach. I see you've been keeping company with your NEW friends....since divorcing yourself from the Black race...lol. "Yall can't tell me nothing. My great great great grand daddy was a White slave owner from the South so this is MY heritage too!" ProfD Within a system of racism, class or status might make black folks feel better about themselves depending on where they reside within the structure until they come across racist(s) to whom none of it matters. They only see one thing. It kinda reminds me of n8gglets who come home and brag about running the prison But even in The Shawshank Redemption....Andy was able to secure some favors for himself by getting in good with the Warden and writing to the governor. Even in GREATER confinement...there are status levels that will dramatically increase one's comfort.
  16. Mzuri and after that you will go and stand in your corner of shame until Pioneer lets you come out. Sheeeyit If she's waiting for ME to let her out the corner...... She'll be waiting a MIGHTY long time, lol. ProfD I'm totally enjoying the comedy brewing in this thread Lol...Cynique ain't joking...not totally. Troy I remember when people dressed up to get on a plane. I remember when people used to dress up or dress their children up to go to the doctor's office or go to the hospital to visit a sick loved one.
  17. Troy I'd place Oklahoma in the South.
  18. Troy Who is our open enemy? The racist Caucasians of the planet. The same ones who enslaved our people for hundreds of years and killed millions with their weapons and diseases. The global scientific community? Some of them. Remember, Adolph Hitler had scientists too. Science doesn't necessarily equate to NON-malicious. Science is like any tool...it can be used for good OR evil. Satan uses his tools for EVIL Do vaccinated white people have the same enemy? No. Some of them are White Sacrifices and voluntarily put themselves at risk for the greater "cause" of so-called White Supremacy. Others simply aren't taking the same vaccines as other people are taking. Who are these people with unconditional trust? Most people of color around the planet. Most just line up and take whatever Caucasians tell them to without getting into a laboratory and investigating it for themselves. Is the NOI telling people not to get vaccinated? Absolutely! If so is this just for Covid, or does this extend to other vaccines like MMR and the seasonal flu? I'm not sure. Minister of the Nation of Islam have spoken against the MMR vaccines as being a major cause of Autism in boys since the 70s...and they've also spoken against the Polio vaccine as being carcinogenic. I believe Minister Farrakhan himself has said that SV40 (Polio Vaccine) was cancer ITSELF.
  19. Cynique How hard is it to finish high school? It's VERY hard for someone with a below average IQ OR someone with a normal IQ but haven't been taught proper studying techniques....which is the case for most students in the United States. Besides....... The highschool graduation rate is FAR higher today than it was back in the 1960s and 1970s...yet POVERTY is far higher too. How do you explain this? How hard is it to not get pregnant? Birth control is readily available. RELIABLE birth control isn't. Human beings are sexual by nature and often aren't taught how to properly use birth control nor are most teenage girls able to get abortions if they get pregnant. They are encouraged to have their babies by the families and religous communities. But teen pregnancy is down since the 1970s...but poverty is UP since the 1970s. Again, how do you explain this? How hard is it to get a minimum wage starter job? A survey was part of this PEW study. In questioning those who had made their way up in life, doing these 3 things were what the majority of them had in common. But people who make their living in social service and all of its spin offs find excuses for those they serve. Helping the needy is an industry unto itself. While this is true....it doesn't explain why so many people END UP in poverty in the first place. All you're doing is pointing at how shoddy the social safety net is; and I'd agree. But nothing you've said EXPLAINS why so many people are in need of one to begin with. Again, over half of the homeless people on the street met all three criteria and STILL ended up in a destitute situation.
  20. The brother thinks Tulsa Oklahoma is in the MIDWEST....that's telling me a lot right there.
  21. ProfD Thanks to those who've been kind enough to initiate threads on my behalf @Cyniqueand @Pioneer1 No problema mi Hermano! I've already been accused of commiserating and complaining and also of being sexist, ageist, outdated. And all by the SAME person....lol "Dig THAT shit!"
  22. Well if they're not......they should! "Alright, the first thing you need to learn is you don't know anything! You've been lied to by these racist devils. I'm about to tell you the TRUTH about life!"
  23. 🙄...She must have put my name in there by accident. Because I KNOW she ain't talking to ME like that, lol
  24. Cynique I don't totally agree with you self-styled categorizations. Have you checked the definition of the word "aristocrat" - which is not a common designation in America. Aristocrat: A member of a ruling class or of the nobility. 2. A person having the tastes, manners, or other characteristics of the aristocracy. Definition of aristocracy: the highest social class in some countries : the people who have special titles (such as duke and duchess), Seems to me MY definition of Aristocrat lines up nicely with the definition you just provided. It's the wealthiest class of people in society. They are a member of the ruling class. The TRUE ruling class...not the figureheads you see on television. It just so happens that in Kingdoms, the Aristocrats are also the Nobility or part of the Royal Family since they control the money and wealth. Since we don't have an official "royal family" in the United States, it's divided among families like the Kennedy's, the Fords, the Rockafellars, the Koch's, ect... You're using money to define class. Money can't buy class. e.g. there's a difference between middleclass and middle income. Money isn't the ONLY factor that determines class in the United States...but it's the biggest factor. They have different value systems. There are plenty of families who aren't billionaires but whose members were born with "silver spoons in their mouths" and have inherited wealth and property, and have the "blue blood" running through their veins that qualifies them to be upper class. True. Did I say they weren't? There are 3 "upper classes" according to my Class Categorization. Aristocrat Rich Professional As of right now, a person doesn't have to be worth a billion to be considered rich in America.
  25. Ok, THAT??? That didn't seem misogynistic or like it was ridiculing Black women to me? He didn't even mention the term "Black woman" so I'm not sure how it turned into an attack on the sistaz. But I'm not an older Black woman so I guess I'm not in a position to judge it one way or the other. I thought it was funny because much of it is true. A lot of women over 50 DO go to bed with "stinking stuff" on them to keep themselves together....lol I remember the "cold cream" days and the "Black-n-White Oitnment" days..lol. I like older women...even when I was younger I did....so I didn't take it too seriously anyway. Cynique Like Mzuri said, if you found it offensive why didn't you say something earlier? Why wait NOW and put the brother on front street over it? Mzuri Negroes want to spend the night and get served breakfast in bed. Not at my house, when I'm through, you can go. Ohhh...when YOU'RE through..huh..? Who care if the MAN is satisfied....lol Anyway...... The Pioneer of 30 years ago would have said.....MY KIND OF LADY, lol. Slip on my shoes and be out the door. However the Pioneer after 2000 wants to wake up the next morning TWICE: -Once to roll over and find something soft laying next to him...and then go back to sleep -And wake up again to the smell of something FRYING in the kitchen, lol "I bet he's got a nice BIG appetite..... After what I put on him last night!"
