Mzuri Actually I wasn't even thinking about you reporting it when I was posting....lol. I'm certain you didn't have any evil intentions behind mentioning Michaels drug use, but I believe many of those in the media DO. These racists in the media will use any excuse to assassinate the character of Black folks. They'll take every opportunity...from reporting drug overdoses, to reporting looters, to reporting mothers leaving babies in hot cars to die......ANY excuse they can to show a Black person in a negative light. I heard about Fuquan and almost forgot about him until you brought him up. I didn't know much about him except that he was a comedian out in L.A. Certainly is a lot of relatively young Black celebrities (along with Hank Aaron) dying this year.

I just read the news a little while ago....sad. May our brother have peace and comfort on the Other Side. I don't like the way so much of the media reported him having a heroin overdose and reported the drugs he allegedly had around him. That was very disrespectful in my opinion. They don't do this with White celebrities who overdosed. It takes them damn near a month to "determine the cause" of why 20 year old Josh died and even then they may never report his drug use. I'm also wondering could it be something else that may have taken his life...........

Mzuri For me to do that would raise a number of questions: 1. Since you mentioned my Mother and my Sister....both adults Me telling them to put more clothes on suggests that I have better judgement on how they should dress than THEY do. Are you suggesting that I should have better judgement over how these two adult women dress than they do themselves? 2. Going by the same principle that they are adults with no mental problems Me telling them to put more clothes on....unless I was joking...suggests that I have more AUTHORITY over how they dress than they do. Are you suggesting that I should have the authority to tell my own Mother or Sister what to wear? Finally..... 3. Who determine what's proper and under what circumstance when it comes to going to a store? There is a law against exposing your genitals....other than that....who makes the determination of what is proper or improper for grocery shopping besides the individual markets themselves?

Mzuri Do you want your woman, mother, sister, daughter going to the grocery store, restaurant, doctors office dressed with their boobs all out, because that is what women are doing now. If they are adults, and that's what they want to do...I think they should have that right. The only time I as a man would step in is if they are going to a place where I think it would be DANGEROUS for them to do so. But even then, I can only do so much. The Progressive position is not that women SHOULD dress provocatively, but that they have the RIGHT to if they so choose...as opposed to being FORCED to dress a certain way, which is what goes on in many religiously Conservative societies like in the Middle East where women are oppressed and have few choices. Most Conservatives would like to see women returned to their old fashioned roles which as romantic as it sounds to some...would drastically reduce their freedoms to dress as they please and make a living for themselves. Do you want your children/grandchildren’s school teacher coming to the classroom dressed like a floozy? This should not be a partisan issue. No. Like you said, it shouldn't be a partisan issue and I don't think most intelligent people of any party or political affiliation do. Has any political organization that you know of proposed to lower the standards of teachers to allow such provocative dress?

Daniel Pioneer plays the role of scholar, but he either is a deceiver or spiritually blind. He quotes and mimics intelligence quite well, but he gives the impression of being bereft of wisdom. Some would say an educated fool. Lol, how does one "mimic" intelligence??? That's like "mimicking" height or a dead person "mimicking" being alive. Some things can't be mimicked. A stupid person doesn't have the ability to PRETEND to be intelligent and go back to being stupid at will any more than a short person can "mimic" being tall for a while before shrinking themselves..lol

Mzuri Why Cynique accused me of being Owens follower is beyond me. Lol....to get the reaction from you she's getting right now. Women should not be exposing themselves like they are doing now where the entire boobs are out except the nip. And the rear ends too. But I guess you liberals are fine with all of that. There's a time and place for everything. I strongly believe in The SUPREME BEING, however I'm not religious anymore so I don't have a problem with most sexual issues as long as it's consentual, including prostitution and pornography. I see it as more of a biological issue than a moral one. If it were up to me there would be MORE nudity on television and less violence, kind of like how it is in Canada and Europe.

Troy Pappa King???? Lol....sounds like a pizza and burger joint combined. Yes, this is what I don't understand -- why? Surely there is a reason. Probably for the same reason the mainstream media doesn't talk about ML's brother being drowned or his young niece dying... The family was being targeted and many in the media are complicit. Neely Fuller Jr. said that "White Supremacy" is a gangster organization. Most colleges available to the average person in the U.S. don't EDUCATE people...they merely TRAIN them. In most cases...unless you take certain classes in philosophy...they don't teach people how to THINK for themselves or think critically and analytically. They just prepare people for entry level work in a specific FIELD, how to meet deadlines, and how to follow instructions. If you want to know true history...especially Black history...you usually have to do your own research like Henry Louis Gates; or pal around with some older people and ask them a bunch of questions. Old Black folks are some of the BEST sources of history...if you can get them to talk about it....because they were around to see it themselves and are under no obligation to cover it up and lie about it. "They lyin'.....that ain't what happened. I was there. I saw it. They wuz already handcuffed and on the ground when they started beating and shooting 'em."

Still trippin' off those earlier clips of Gladys Knight! The woman was fine as all GET OUT when she was younger. She doesn't look bad now, but she was SOMETHING SCRUMPTIOUS back then...didn't know it until I saw those clips. So I guess this brother was before Don Cornelius and Soul Train. There was another brother out in Oakland....I forget his name....but he also had a nice little show going on that was getting to be pretty main stream. He had Paul Mooney on the show and Paul had an AFRO...lol...so it had to be pretty far back in the day. I'm thinking late 60s.

Both Kamala Harris and Candace Owens look like two peas of the same pod. Both of them are professional AfroAmerican women who learned to play the game and "act" their way up the ladder of success in politics. Both of them are married to Wht men also..lol. Probably the ONLY thing they differ on is politics.....and I if you take away the labels I doubt they'd differ much from eachother even on that.

I did remember hearing about someone closely connected to DMLK who drowned in their swimming pool but I wasn't exactly sure WHO it was so I decided not to mention it. I thought it might have been Ralph Abernathy...but wasn't sure. I kept thinking of Rodney King....since HE also drowned in his own pool, but I knew it wasn't him.

Chev I agree. I'm a PanAfricanist and believe both groups should come together for the betterment of the Black race. However you have a lot of people in the ADOS and FBA movements who don't like Africans or Caribbeans and a few even go around the internet stirring up trouble between the two.

Chev Lol....sheeeeeyit, are you old enough to SWIM? If you're old or young enough to swim and throw a ball.....then you're old enough to participate

Chev Oh WOW! @Pioneer1 I just read the interchange and I understand exactly was @daniellegfny conveyed! Lol, I understand what he conveyed too....and so far it's erroneous. He said: "Genocide doesn’t have the same meaning to an all powerful being as it does finite beings." I didn't say I agreed or disagreed with the statement. I merely asked The All Powerful BEING tell him that directly and he said yes when he reads the Bible. So I asked him to show me the EXACT scriptures, book, and verse where I could find that quote. Not a similar sounding INTEPRETATION.....but the exact quote since he claimed he got it from the Bible. And so far he hasn't. You can "interpret" and "read into" any scripture what you want...which is why I ask for the EXACT match. As I said previously, those terms are interchangeable, and more importantly, the history of those 3 countries are too extensive to capture in one term. Well if those terms are interchangeable, then technically speaking the nations of Libya, Egypts, and Ethopia were NOT founded in the 19th century! They are much much older. In ancient Egypt, Libya and Ethiopia, there were DEFINITELY time periods where 'nations' formed but NOT AT ALL like the 19th century 'Nations' that were formed under the Western Leagues that carved up Africa for their benefit. I agree. Just like the PEOPLE of the ancient world were not like the PEOPLE of today or even the 19th century. But that's a far cry from saying people "didn't exist" and were "invented" in the 19th century as Troy said. Anyway, you asked me to give you some links to the definition of the word 'Bible' and so, even though you say that you don't believe in the Bible, And thank you for doing so. It just confirms my suspicion that we can't agree on the definition OF what the actual Bible is...so there is no use in arguing over it. No. I meant, that 'like you stated to ; in that I agree with you in that the Hebrew Israelites strongly believe in the Bible'. I definitely did not mean that you believe in the Bible. Ok....thank you for clarifying that?

Daniel Don’t know don’t care. It’s irrelevant. 🙄 I'm surprised to hear that. Most Republicans DELIGHT to hear when a Democrat is caught in a lie or mistake. But with this one, not only do you ignore it but you declare it irrelevant. Listen.... 🤔You're acting mighty "funny" when it comes to Kamala Harris, lol. I think you got a thing for her. I think you got a crush on her and just want to see her in ANY kind of office...lol I think you just luuuuuuuuuv you some Kammy! "My milk shakes bring all the boys to the yard!"

Daniel Lol.... Was she high when she made the comment?

It was a lie...lol...that's what.

Tupac wasn't rapping in the 80s. He didn't come on the scene until the early 90s....so how could she be listening to him in college when she was in college from the mid to late 80s?

Lol....I'd rather watch CARLTON from the Fresh Prince dance...instead of stiff ass Obama. Although I must admit he did a good Al Green at one event. He can sing better than he can dance...which doesn't say much.

Mzuri Did you see the video of Kamala Harris saying she used to smoke weed in college and listen to Tupac? She graduated from college in 1989....lol

I'm not denigrating the brother. I'm just pointing out the fact that he's not qualified to hold a political office. He's too slow. He talks like he's reading a note somebody handed him. It's also interesting how Black Republicans talk about how they want to live in a color blind race free society....but feel the need to BRING UP race in nearly every speech they give and statement they make..lol. Black Republicans talk about race and racism MORE than Black Democrats...lol...but only to deny that it exists. "I am a Black Conservative and I am TIRED of all this race talk! Black, White, Green, Purple... IT DOESN'T MATTER as long as you're American. I'm a Black Republican btw...."

Well I'm glad you voted for Obama, and I also agree with you that Harris would probably make a better President than Biden...although neither one are my favorites. I didn't see that video until you presented it to me, now I KNOW he's not qualified to be Senator...lol. He can barely speak.... Splitting verbs and adding syllables to words. He said he's from Wrightsville and it sounds like he said RIOTSVILLE...lol. He's not qualified to be a Senator. He's not even qualified to sit on city council. If he's bored, he should use some of that money to open up a small business chain down in Georgia and give some Black youth some decent paying jobs...instead of being a flunky for the Rednecks of Georgia. I don't think THEY'D even trust him up in the Senate seat. I don't think they think he could do the paperwork and understand the complexities of the job anyway.

Now just...take a LOOK at this gloss-lipped Negro on here praising Donald Trump: He can BARELY read from the teleprompter ! You do seriously think he need to be in a Senate seat representing a U.S. state????? He needs to take some of that money and open up a hot dog or pizza restaurant chain and enjoy the rest of his retirement...lol

Herschel even SOUNDS like a "Tommish" name...lol. If you were named "Herschel"...you were MADE to bow and Tom, lol "Herscheeeeeeeel Where you AT boy?" "I'ze right 'cheer boss! In da' next room ova...whucha need???"

Mzuri Another reason Elder won't become Governor is because Republicans are very strategic and they tend to use Black Conservative politicans where they're "needed" instead of where THEY want to be. It doesn't matter where Mr. Elder wants to be, it's about where the Conservative leadership WANTS him to be. Most Black Conservatives are used for 2 things: 1. To pull Black voters away from the Democrat party which has had a strong hold on our people since Roosevelt and/or 2. Put them in positions (political or media) to promote ultra-right wing agendas that a White Republican wouldn't be able to get away with. California isn't Progressive or Liberal in MY opinion. I think it's a racist state that loves locking up Black men and displacing them with Mexicans. However it does have a lot of Leftists with Leftist policies and Black or White...Elder is too Conservative in his views for Republicans to take the risk of backing him only to lose. They're gonna go with a more Moderate Republican for Governor of California Newsom just sent everybody in Cali a stimulus check BRIBE so all the dummies will forget why they wanted him out and keep him in office Lol...that's true. And that was smart. Newsom is a career politician and he knows how to give the people what they want in order "get in" good with them. Give the children candy to shut them up. Elder...on the other hand...is NOT a career politician. He will get on a microphone with that wide mouth of his and eyes stretched saying whatever come on his mind. And there's no telling WHAT might come out of his mouth...lol. He's liable to say something crazy that messes the Republican Party up in California for the next 15 years...lol. And then he'll be on Fox New the next day looking crazy and trying to explain what he meant...lol. Daniel Larry has a problem with some ultra evangelicals that are stuck on Election Fraud. Many of them are also stuck on racism and ain't voting for a Black man no matter how Conservative and right-wing he proclaims himself to be. They don't trust him. They know there was no "voter fraud" taking place against THEM. THEY are the ones who engage in voter fraud...against Black folks....not the other way around. It's just an EXCUSE they were using to push for Trump to get in. They couldn't admit they wanted a coup....so they had to use "voter fraud" as an excuse to justify their actions. Actually he produced the movie 🎥 “Uncle Tom: The Movie”. It had the late Herman Cain in it. Yeah..lol...I forgot about that until you brought it up! Now believe it or not I LIKED Herman Cain! It's a shame he died. I actually find his death suspicious. Herman Cain was a BIT of a Tom but he had Charisma and he was his own man. He pushed his OWN beliefs...and the Republican Establishment...like the Democrat Establishment...don't like that. Both the Democrats and Republicans are controlled by racist Caucasians at the top and don't like it when negroes get too "uppity" Herman Cain was one of the few Presidential Candidates who actually came to the CITY (not the suburbs) of Detroit and talked to the Black residents. Like I said....I find his death suspicious. We need as many Black Faces as possible in all positions. Going by that logic...did you vote for Obama to be President over McCain and Romney? And we need to understand there is a difference between a Black FACE and a Black MASK.

Daniel You and I both know that Larry "Fox News Contributor" Elder will NOT be Governor of California. They're using that negro as a mascot and making fun of him. The Republican party would nominate Caytlin Bruce Jenner as the Republican Nominee before letting Elder get anywhere NEAR the Governorship They are about 95% sure he's an Uncle Tom...lol...but that 5% is enough to make the worry what he'd do if a Black man got in such a powerful position. Larry is an OLD SCHOOL Tom....lol. The kind I remember when I was a kid. The kind who would twist their lips all to the side and talk corny and funny with no base in their voice ATTEMPTING to talk proper and sounding even more foolish...lol. If they REALLY wanted to "Tom" it up....they'd go to work with their nappy hair parted to the side trying to imitate Caucasians...lol.
