  1. ProfD White folks consume what black folks do until they figure out how we did it. Then, they codify, reproduce and sell it to themselves. From The Rolling Stones to Elvis Presley to Michael Bolton to Celine Dion, they've repackaged black music. Now, they consider Eminem one of the greatest rappers. And Eminem ain't even from Detroit His entire image is as phony as a $4 bill. Completely made up and used to put a White face on Hiphop But that's what they do....they see something valuable and slowly try to co-opt it into their own culture. The first thing they do is get RACIALLY AMBIGUOUS looking music artists like Paula Abdul or Mariah Carey....even Michael Jackson....and make them the super-stars instead of artists who look clearly Black. And each generation the artists get lighter and lighter until right around 2000 they started using full blown White artists like Christina Aguillar and Justin Timberlake to perform Black music.
  2. Rev how the white man conquer China when the us owes China trillions and trillions of dollars And how the hell does the U.S. "owe" China trillions of dollars when China doesn't even MAKE dollars? They make "Yuan"...not "Dollars". Only the U.S. and Australia make Dollars. Believing that the U.S. has to borrow money from from China is like believing a man who told you he was borrowing sperm from a woman...lol. "You PROMISED to loan me some sperm so we could make this baby!" It's all one big game and you're falling for it. As far as Chinese technology......... I have little idea of what they do or don't have; but I'll say this much. Whatever they have, it's not keeping Am*zon and other Big Tech companies from coming overthere and using millions of Chinese workers as slaves and exploiting them.
  3. ....as long as the electricity is on, lol. 😔 But what if the lights are turned off?
  4. ProfD There are so many factors that affect Black Love today..... 1. Confusion over sex/gender roles 2. Literal chemical castration that has plummeted the testosterone rate and thus the ambition and sex drive of many young men. 3. Decline in manufacturing jobs that Black men depended on to be the bread-winner. So he no longer feels confident enough to be "the man". 4. Regression from the "Black Power" days of the 60s and 70s where dark skinned men/women with big Afros and kinky hair were seen all over television, movies, and magazines embracing and making-love to eachother. This is one of the reasons I didn't have much of a problem with Meek Mill's picture on the bus. A lot of people thought it was disrespecting Black women but when was the last time you saw brown/dark skinned Black women portrayed as sex symbols in public? In order to FEEL sexy and attractive as women, they need to grow up seeing sexual images of Black women.
  5. When people like to preach about the United States being a "democracy"....I just point out the Electoral College as proof that it's not.
  6. They're coming up with one excuse after another to explain why the poor man got the jab and STILL ended up dying of Covid. And many many many people who have received it have died. And I have a feeling many many many MANY more will end up dead....or worse...from having received it. Just give it more time. Minister Farrakhan and other Black leaders have WARNED you not to trust your open enemy. But greed and love blinds a lot of our people into having unconditional trust for them.
  7. ProfD Some of it comes from working too much, but a lot of these folks don't even have jobs. Laying around on their sister's or grandmother's couch texting all day....ain't doing a damn thang worthwhile But much of it is because the latter generations (Millenials and Gen Z) of boys have been CONDITIONED by the White people they went to school with or worked around to take a prudish attitude toward approaching girls/women. They were taught that it's "inappropriate" to flirt with women, call them baby, and other things that were so common in the Black communities prior to 2000. The were told that flirting heavy with a woman in public is called "street harassment" and were taught to feel guilty about doing it. Now ofcourse boys will be boys and men will be men and testosterone has a way of FORCING you to assertively and seek the comfort of a woman regardless of any social rules against flirting pursuing; but still most people just want to fit in and will try to honor the social rules. The interesting thing is.... I was told by many many women (including White women) that the bold assertiveness of Black men is one of the things that made us so attractive! So it's I find it suspect that so many Black boys/men have been convinced that this is a problem. If you're in your 50s I'm sure you remember the days where on any given weekend night if you go around the hood you'd see tons of Black boys and girls just out embracing eachother smooching in public. The boy would have his arm around his girl as if to say, "This is may lady". When was the last time you saw THAT lately? When was the last time you even saw a Black male and female embrace eachother in public let alone smooch and kiss?
  8. ProfD I doubt it will go that far but if so, I'm guessing national guard would get called up similar to during protests. Or start deputizing the racist militia groups. Mzuri Medical personnel, law enforcement, and other essential workers would rather quit their job and lose their income than get vaccinated, which says that the risk of side effects is not worth it and the people will not be bullied or threatened by their employers or the government. It's just more re-enforcment and assurance that I made the right decision. And that I'm CERTAINLY not alone. I have millions and millions and millions of folks right there with me.
  9. Rev Run Danm can’t believe will actually come to an agreement. We agree??? Well, I might have to DO SOMETHING about that...lol. Because no one would know God exist white man was created for a purpose to complete the wholeness of good and evil ying yang I'm not sure if I'd go as far as to say they wouldn't know that God exists. But similar to what you said, Caucasians were made as the recessive or "evil" part of ourselves and allowed to rule so that we can experience what it feels like living under UN-righteousness. "Let US make man in OUR image and likeness and let us GIVE HIM POWER AND DOMINION....." This gives you more respect and appreciation for Righteousness.
  10. It get's better and better.......... I'm willing to wager over a third of all law enforcement in the nation will eventually end up walking off the job....plunging this society into mass chaos.
  11. I would agree. Where IS that sexy gap toothed Condoleeza anyway???
  12. Troy As I said at the beginning of this conversation I think cryptocurrency is the future and my concern here is that we will fall behind fail to adapt to technology and run businesses for fear of scams. Scam or no scam....as long as Black people are satisfied with being PARTICIPANTS in other people's economies instead of building a sound economy of our own (like the Asians) we're gonna be behind. Haven't you heard that you can't win playing ANOTHER man's game? White folks control Crypto-currency like they control the OTHER currency. And as long as we keep trying to fight for a spot in THEIR crap game, they're gonna continue to have the upper hand. We need to get our own game going.
  13. It's not hate...so much as it's ENMITY. Does that cat "hate" the mouse? Does the eagle "hate" the rabbit? Does the lion "hate" the gazelle? The Caucasian was MADE with inbred animosity for the Original people and it's part of his nature.
  14. ???? The Electoral College existed BEFORE the Civil War. It existed back in the 1700 close to the original Constitution.
  15. Sad to hear that about our brother. For some reason I was sadder over Herman Cain's death. I really liked Herman Cain.
  16. Rev Run That’s actually a wrong statements if there was no black leaders there wouldn’t be no Haitian revolution so t that as stupid. Who said there were no Black leaders? There have also been numerous Afro Americans leaders the white man is a snake he just paid them off to rebelled against their brothers I’ve watched juda and them lack messiah and that happens within all black groups. And don’t compare the Afro American with Asians Asians have a former training tHey weren’t conquered and deeemed subhuman. So you don't consider the British control of China for centuries a form of being "conquered"? The U.S. dropped a nuke on Japan, that's not a form of conquering? The French colonized Vietnam...but they didn't conquer them? The U.S. didn't conquer South Korea? You’re whole point is to point out the black man flaws without first understanding the roots you’re not here fir solution ur here for mockery. If that was my WHOLE point then I'd spend the rest of my time here mocking and pointing out the flaws in YOUR posts alone, lol. I'm here "fir" solutions too! Give me some! ....but ones that don't involve sitting on a milk crate waiting on the hot sun to "cook up" all the White folks. "Seems like it would have happened by now"
  17. Mzuri And I would never prescribe anything to @Pioneer1 that would cause him harm. 🥰 That's right honey....I know you wouldn't. Cynique on the other hand.........🥺 I'm not taking ANY candy from HER, lol. "I brought you some suckers...sucka"
  18. Mzuri Mess is the right word for it. A HOT mess. And it just didn't get started, it's been going in this direction since the 80s. The Pandemic is just bringing things to a head. When it gets to the point where the average person can't afford to take care of themselves and must shake up with a spouse, boy/girlfriend, or roomates just to make ends meet...you're heading towards Third World status. Do you know why you don't see HORDS of homeless and drug addicted people staggering around on the streets by the millions like a zombie movie? 1.Mass incarceration 2 Mass suicide First of all...EVERY YEAR tens of thousands of people have been overdosing on drugs and killing themselves for the past 20 years or so. Look up the stats if you don't believe me. More people have killed themselves through overdosing than were actually killed by homicide in the U.S. They couldn't take the harsh conditions and first turned to drugs and then used it to take themselves out. Secondly, unlike the Great Depression where people were allowed to be homeless and sleep on the street in tend cities around the nation....today police are instructed to round up much of the homeless and store them away in jails and prisons by the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS...so you don't see them. As conditions get worse.....the government SANITIZES the problem so as to appear like it doesn't exist. Just like if there was a car accident and 5 people were killed on the highway...then send in a teams to "clean it up" and in 3 hours traffic is flowing and you wouldn't know anything occured.
  19. Troy Whether the IRS as a single agency can trace it or not, SOME government agency can. The FBI..NSA.. They are on the deep net too. So many Black folks still don't get it. White folks have a world wide SYSTEM where all of their agencies, economic systems, and even governments are connected. You think you're escaping one by dealing with another, but both of them are working for the same global network of Racism connected at the top. There is no crypto-currency or any other global currency that you can hide or conceal from the U.S. government. The old folks were much smarter to hide their money in their mattress. Daniel There’s nothing wrong with being a celebrity spokesperson. The man was the mastermind behind Watergate! He was locked up for years for theft, perjury, and a host of other crimes. And the Conservatives turn around and embrace the guy??? Using G.Gordon Liddy to sell gold... Is like using R.Kelly to promote a private school for girls. "Girl you know you got that vibe You need to bring it to my new school!"
  20. When it comes to the word "Nigga".....I can use it all day every day....lol. I just try not to use it around White people. I use it around Asians and non-White Latinos though...no problem.
  21. The thing I notice about both Whites and Asians is that even the stupid ones will often get behind a smart one and recognize him as the leader. A lot of times among AfroAmericans, even when a person is CLEARLY smart and is coming up with good ideas...many of those who are stupid and foolish will reject them and go in the other direction out of jealousy. Ask the smart one, "Who made YOU the leader????"...lol. I've seen so many Asians work together. You have one or two people....and it can be a man OR a woman...running the operations pointing and giving orders. And the rest of them are shuffling around with their heads down busily carrying them out.
  22. Troy Well, you're talking to a guy who hasn't made over $60,000 in a year...yet. So I'm clearly not rich and I don't know much about Wallstreet and investments admittedly. But I can smell scams a mile away When people start trying to sell me on something by saying...... "Invest in Bitcoin! The IRS can't trace it. The government can't control it You can do whatever you want to do with it". That right there raises red flags! The IRS and government monitors nearly all financial transactions on line whether they ANNOUNCE they're monitoring it or not. A FOOL sit there thinking they're being slick and sneaky and can actually make millions and hide it on the World Wide Web. Also when I repeatedly ask people (as I have on here) how much money have YOU made doing "this" or "that", and they either tell me "nothing yet but---" or start getting angry and figidty and don't want to admit they've made little to nothing -that raises MORE red flags. It's like those Amway pyramid schemes where THEY make money by getting you to invest YOUR REAL MONEY into their schemes
  23. ProfD Thanks for educating me on the issue. I thought there were national radio stations where the signal can be heard across the entire nation! But what you're saying does make sense though. Mzuri I actually AM a guest on a couple of shows and speak from time to time. I go by another name. Much to Troy's dismay, I try not to mention other sites I'm active on HERE...because I don't like cross-contamination. I try to prevent certain people from following me from one platform to another just incase I want to get away from them....lol.
  24. Mzuri But a societal collapse isn't likely to happen in the near future. Lol.. It's like waiting on the economy to collapse or the dollar to fall like the dooms-day predicters do to sell those gold coins or MRE rations. But I think SOMETHING is going to happen because too many people oppose the mandates and are dropping out of the workforce, including a lot of police officers and other civil servant employees. And they aren't being allowed to collect Unemployment Benefits either. Something is going to have to give. A good 1/4 of this nation is HARD-CORE against the jab and ain't gonna take it....SOMETHING is going to have to give. As bad as things may seem right now, what you DON'T want is for it to sloooooooooooooowlly, get worse, and worse, and worse...over a loooooooooooong stretch of time. Because that prolongs the pain and suffering in society and takes more people down with it. How many old people have to die of homelessness and starvation because their SS check isn't enough to cover their constantly increasing rent? How many single moms have to turn to prostitution or selling meth just to maintain a roof over their heads? Just look at where things are headed? It's bad enough if they STOOD STILL...but look where they are headed....down. It's best for things to HURRY UP collapse into chaos. Then either the people who are left will rebuild a better world OR the government will be forced to enact massive programs to support people while they improve conditions. Kind of like how they did early on during the Covid Pandemic.
  25. A better time?? Hmmmm........... I think for me and most Black people...the 90s were a much better time economically than it is today. Crime was high, but economically speaking there was far less homelessness among our people than today. Plus the jobs paid better or atleast the money took you further back in the 90s than it does today. Many service industry jobs were paying $10 and $12 and hour right up until 6 months ago. They bumped up the wages a couple bucks on many jobs as an incentive to bring more people back, but it's not working. But I was making $10 plus commission back in the early 90s as a saleman and that was nearly 30 years ago. Wages really haven't increased much although rent, mortgage, and real estate has. I was around in the 70s but I was a kid and don't know how hard or easy it was to make a living but I know in Detroit the factory workers were making $20+ an hour plus full benefits even back then! Most Black folks were owning their own homes, buying houses to rent out, saving money, ect... Black folks seem to have it better in the 70s collectively than in the 90s and definitely better than today.
