Troy Most Mafioso are PRACTICING Catholics. People who can kill one day and sincerely participate in mass or communion the next don't seem like the type of people who will easily change their ways after learning the truth...lol.

Troy I doubt this is factually accurate. Most of the Jews in Israel are not “Caucasian.” Where did you find his quote at? All I saw was him quoting my posts...lol. But I actually agree with him that most of the Jews in Israel probably are Caucasian racially speaking. I haven't been to Israel but most of them either migrated from Europe and the U.S. or descended from those who migrated from Europe and the U.S. There are a lot of African and Middle Eastern Jews in Israel but I don't think they make up the majority. Like Lin Manuel Maranda’s view of Washington Heights, the media portrays many places as more white than they really are. You would think no Black people lived in Brazil, Cuba, or Israel based upon the white run media. I've been through Washington Heights before and it's pretty much a BLACK neighborhood. Black Latinos...mostly from the DR and PR. That damn false ass movie wasn't an accident. He PURPOSELY mis-portrayed the residents of that neighborhood and people called him out on it. I heard he didn't even use real Dominicans as actors but used mostly Puerto Ricans.

Well....I believe most of the Beings that are flying around in what the media calls "UFOs" are SUPERIOR Beings. Meaning, they are Superior to the average human being in technology and intelligence. Caucasians don't want you to believe in anyThing or anyOne stronger and smarter than them.

Yeah, Juneteenth was mostly a SOUTHERN Blk tradition. And especially in the Texas area. You didn't find a lot of AfroAmericans in the North celebrating it. I heard my Parents and other older relatives mentioning it from time to time but it wasn't nearly as big as Kwanza...which wasn't too big either after the 70s. Troy What they should do is get rid of that stupid Columbus Day Most Italian Americans would have a problem with that, lol.

Chev My concept of homosexuality has changed over the years, especially after leaving religion AND having lived down in Atlanta which has a very large homosexual & bisexual population. My attitudes towards it is less hostile and focused on it being an abomination and now more towards it being an abnormality that in some respect may actually be natural...like left-handedness. There is certainly an LGBT agenda being pushed on Africa and Black people world wide, however I believe that homosexuality and bisexuality occurs in nature to a certain extent and it may be a form of birth control. I don't know this for sure, but I'm suspecting it. Now the Bible clearly condemns homosexuality, however it must be understood that those scriptures you're reading was a modification of the scriptures Musa gave to the Caucasians when they were in the caves. They were engaging in all kinds of sexually deviant behavior like screwing animals and sleeping with their own immediate family...so he had to clean them up from that. But those scriptures weren't meant for the entire humanity to follow, especially Black America. So you must read them in context.

No, Tommy is still around and very active. He's currently going back and forth arguing with Kwame Brown.

Chev But, yes, I absolutely understand that you do not 'say' that you ascribe to any religion but believe in 'The SUPREME BEING' with no script to support anything about your version of 'The SUPREME BEING'; What he or she looks like, what he or she communicates to you or anybody, etc. Why do you need a script or book to understand the concept of The SUPREME BEING? We live in an Existence full of beings and Beings, correct? Well just recognize that the most Powerful and Knowledgable of those Being is The SUPREME BEING. I believe The SUPREME BEING Communicates to me and others in various methods like dreams, alter states of consciousness, signs, visions, and even a direct Voice from time to time as well as many other methods. It just depends. So far, it this has not happened! If I am wrong, then put an example here, The fact that you refuse to accept the ACCURATE definition of "Ruddy" and want to make up your own or go dig into it's etymological history and concocts a "new" definition of the word instead of accepting it is but ONE example.

Novanova There are different stories of how dreadlocks became a symbol of African culture and they all may be valid, however the one I'm most familiar with has to do with it being a symbol of African resistance in the Americas. In places like Jamaica and other islands in the Caribbean when Africans were first brought on land to be used as slaves...many escaped and ran into the tropical rainforests and mountains to escape the Caucasians. Living out in the wild without finer tools like razors that were traditionally used to groom themselves and cut their hair many of them let their hair (and beards for men) grow unkempt and it naturally matted and locked together forming TRUE dreadlocks. The tradition was maintained to wear the hair unkempt and untouched as a sign of resistance.

Someone with a brain I almost forgot about this thread, thanks for rejuvenating it. Any comments or questions?

This is nothing but a SYMBOLIC victory. A bone thrown at AfroAmericans in an attempt to appease them and make them THINK they've made gains when thinks are really going backwards in many of our communities. Harry is correct that slavery hasn't ended. It still exists. The only difference is you have to be convicted of a crime first before they can force you to work.

Troy I agree 100%. People should stop using all of these fancy names and titles for it and just teach history as truthfully as they can. Giving it names like "Critical Race Theory" and "1619 Project" draws too much attention.

For several months now the internet and media has been buzzing about the Critical Race Theory and even more focus has been places on the arguments happening in school board meetings and townhalls all over the nation. Some say it should be taught, others say it shouldn't. I'm not exactly sure what it is and when I've asked those who support and promote it's teaching to give me a clear solid definition of it they can't. Instead they give me examples of subjects that may be taught IN Critical Race Theory, or they may give me one of CRT's objectives. But no definite clear definition OF it. Not even Merriam Webster's online dictionary offers a definition of it! I've come to suspect that the entire CTR debate is a DISTRACTION generated by those who are preaching so hard against it, the right-wing Republicans. I believe many of those teachers and professors who teach with CRT in mind are sincere in their fight for social justice, however I think the debate and the attention it's getting is a strawman built by Conservatives as a boogie-man to point to and focus negative energy against.

I think that Crispy Show is done by Tariq Nasheed. It's really a mockery of one of his rival youtubers Tommy Sotomayor who is dark skinned. He calls the puppet "Crispy" in a mockery of Tommy's dark skin....as is "burnt/crispy black". "Crispy" Puppet Now to be fair, Tommy routinely bashes and makes fun of Black women so I don't feel too sorry for someone clowning on HIS ass. But making fun of his dark skin is going to far and is counter productive. On top of that..... Tariq is very intelligent and I like most of his work but over the past several months I've been having issue with the brother and had to let the show go for a while. For some reason he insists on driving a deeper wedge between AfroAmerians and Africans from the Continent. He routinely mocks and makes fun of Africans and their food and culture. I'm not sure what's happening with the dude. He's obviously smart and conscious, and he even educated OTHER Black people with his Hidden Colors series films....so why he's doing this I'm not sure.

Cynique Good to hear from you. And I'm glad to see you're still up and about at 87; doing more in a day than a lot of people half your age...lol.

Daniel It's attitudes like THAT....that give Uber drivers a bad name, lol. You're the type of guy who probably rolls the car a little bit while the passenger is trying to get out if they don't leave a big enough tip.

Thank you for that UNsolicited advice for what I should do with MY money..lol I'm sure (to a degree) you meant well. But I didn't ask for a link to registration. I asked for an actual link to "How To Be An Anti-Racist" I wonder if you're this ADVERSARIAL with your customers? They get in and say, "Take me to the hotel" and instead you drive them to a homeless shelter, and when they demand you take them where they want to go -instead you give them a lecture on how this is the best route for them to save money...lol. "I know what YOU'RE saying...but I'm telling you staying HERE will save you more money! As long as you've been coming to this city, you should know this by now."

Everything seems serious to those who believe everything they see in the media. There were some Little Rascals fans who were depressed after seeing Eddie Murphy's Saturday Night Live skit about Buckwheat being shot: BUCKWHEAT GOT SHOT! They thought it was serious because they didn't know acting and role playing when they saw it. It'll start being serious IF you see him actually spend 5 minutes behind bars, or even end up in cuffs. Until then, it's all smoke-n-mirrors and role playing.

🤔 I asked for a link to "How To Be An AntiRacist" and instead you send me a link to some application I have to register and sign up for? That's like a friend asking to borrow a couple dollars and instead you give you a job application.

Daniel You didn’t understand the question. Lol...you didn't understand my response. The question was “What do you think these parents are teaching these children about Blacks?” Yes but YOUR question was "as usual you have come to the wrong conclusion.?" I had to presume it was a question since you put a question mark on the end of it....so I answered it. No is not an appropriate answer. It is for YOUR question. Because I did NOT come to the wrong conclusion. I came to the logical conclusion based on the information you provided.

Since it was put in a question form....I would answer: NO My conclusion about why they did is correct because the ONLY thing you said in that post was "That Blacks were animals" You didn't say THEY said it or THEY thought it....you just posted the line with no context. Maybe if you had said: "That Black PEOPLE were animals" .....it would have assured them that this wasn't YOUR assertion because your belief is that Blacks are people. It's also been my observation that NON-Black people often use the term "Blacks" where as most AfroAmericans use the term "Black people" or "Black folks", maybe some of the moderators on the platform shared the same observation and suspected that you weren't really Black either.

Daniel Then if the quote "That Blacks are animals" came from you then that's why they suspended you. They thought you were being offensive because you didn't provide a lot of context in that statement. I personally don't believe you should have been suspend for that because you didn't pose a danger. I've operated websites before and I had 3 rules for discussion: 1. Don't threaten anyone with violence 2. Don't post or promote anything illegal 2. Don't put out anyone's personal information without their permission ...other than that you could pretty much say what you like and those who didn't like what you said should learn to ignore it, lol. Many people didn't like that because they thought the rules were too lax. Spam was often all over the place because I considered it their right to do it and people need to learn to focus and ignore. Never the less those simple rules turned off some people. Just another symptom of the "cancel culture".

No sir. How about you provide a link for me so I can check it out. I'm not sure how one can be an ANTI-racist but Neely Fuller Jr. has spent decades teaching AfroAmericans how to be COUNTER-racists.

Del ? Is that a link to an article showing how much time Trump is sentenced to do? If not, what's the point of it?

Daniel I was more concerned with the potential impact on Independant sites like Parler when the Corps decided to flex their muscles. Not sure how "independent" Parler is. It's a platform where right-wing racists like to congregate...lol My answer seemed to be the most logical. I believe they made the group remove the picture. No it was a picture in a black group. The question was “What do you think they were trying to teach their children?” ?????? Your answer is a bit confusing....... *The phrase: The Blacks are animals Was THAT phrase posted BY YOU or did someone else post it? *The picture of the cage Was THAT picture posted BY YOU, or did someone else post it? A clear answer to these questions will help me to understand WHY whatever platform you were on made their decision to suspend you.

The bottom quote about Blacks being animals and showing the picture of Black children in cages....did that come from YOU? Troy You would not have been banned here And that's part of the problem. THEY don't want to be banned....but they want OTHER people they disagree with banned. They want to flag posts they don't like or label people "trouble makers" and get them either suspended or banned, and if they don't have the ability to do this they would rather not even participate.
