I remember when some Whites were living in the projects also.....but a very very few. As I look back on it now, usually something was "wrong" with them and prevented them from living with other Caucasians and they were STUCK in the hood. But I didn't live in the projects, I just had a lot of family who did. We would go visit THEM to keep them from visiting US....lol. Remember the old saying? "Don't call ME.....I'll call YOU!".....lol. Like Chris Tucker told that fat girl in Friday.... "Listen girl....tell me where you live and I'll come to see YOU. But don't you EVER... ever...ever...ever...come around HERE!! Understand???" We (the Black people of my neighborhood) weren't rich or even upper middle class, but we weren't poor or ghetto either and didn't want a lot of ghetto people with crazy out of control kids coming into the neighborhood to mess it up. That's how a LOT of Black people thought in those days.

I did excellent in school right up to the 6th grade when I started really hitting puberty and my focused changed less on grades and more on girls...lol. But quite a few Black students got excellent grades and were smart and had great conduct in class. They were quiet and studious and most of them went on to college and have successful careers. I also knew smart Black boys who kept getting in trouble and got poor grades. They started off getting good grades like I did but when puberty hit and their voices started changing not only did their priorities change but how people TREATED them in society (including school) changed also. This why I'm still in amazement when I find straight masculine Black men like yourself, Delano, and many others that I know who were so successful in college and corporate America. They TARGET straight and masculine Black men in corporate America and unless you're some sort of genius....how do you avoid being targeted and blocked from success in THEIR world? I suspect this is one of the reasons many different Black fraternities and sororities were established early on, so they can help eachother get good jobs and protect eachother in this racist system. On a lighter note.......... You mention living in a brownstone. I just don't get ONLY living in NYC, lol. That place is so congested...even the outer boroughs. As I got older I realized many business people want to live in or near Manhattan where they could get to Wall Street and various firms and financial centers but making NYC you're ONLY home??? Had wealthy friend who took me to meet a friend of HIS who lived in the Upperwestside of Manhattan. Nicca had a car but insisted that we WALK so he could show me the "sites" like where John Lennon got hit and things of that nature. Man, pigeons and puke all over the sidewalk.....lol....and that was supposed to be a "rich" neighborhood! ((shakes head)) We meet his friend in his apartment which was not much bigger than any average 2 bed room apartment and he's bragging about paying $35,000 a month and how he's right around the corner from the best Chinese food restaurants in the city....while complaining about the "rat problem" in the area. ((shakes head vigorously)) Now if I were a billionaire or multimillionaire like his friend (my friend was just a "hundreds-of-thousands"aire....lol) I would live way out in Long Island or maybe even another state in a nice big home in a beautiful neighborhood and COMMUTE to Wallstreet or the law firm that I own....but I'm not gonna pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to live down the street from it in a rat infested building with security and a door man!

Troy As I've gotten older I've become wiser and gained more understanding about society and human nature. This has caused me to look at things from OTHER PEOPLE'S perspectives sometimes........ If you're a smart young Black woman with a bright future and a lot of potential but you're born and raised in the ghetto where you grow up seeing all types of violence and foolishness and criminality going on around you. You survive all of that just to go to a major university and get a degree and now you have an opportunity to get a good job with "the white folks" and escape the madness you grew up around and live in a nice big house in a nice green peaceful neighborhood with neighbors who smile fake smiles at you and wave as you walk by. Why would you RUIN your chances to enjoy all of that just to hang out in the ghetto fighting and scraping with the ghetto-girls over men? Most people may not ADMIT it but they'll they're going to go with what they think are their BEST options. In many cases that includes "selling out".

Troy He's not my type....lol. He seems like the type of guy who always has to have the last word.

Troy I don't remember the projects being nice....lol. I remember being a whole lot better than they are today (the few that still exist). You DO know Canada has housing projects too, right? And the public housing in Canadian cities are BIGGER and NICER than the ones in the United States! Blocks and blocks of tall well maintained sky scrapers with thousands of poor people packed in them. But as far as projects in the United States go............. I found out that projects were rough all over America. I remember going down south on vacation as a little kid and we'd go to some housing projects in the rural area near a lagoon where some of our relatives were and as rural and country as it was it was STILL wild with children running around acting a fool and tearing up.....lol.

Troy Because wearing masks and social distancing WORKS...based on my experiences and observations. I don't have any knowledge that vax work. My research and intuition says they do more harm than good to Africans worldwide.

Troy This is true, but where did she get the money to OWN the property? If the rent is high and she's not getting any customers so how is she able to afford to keep up the property she owns to stay in business? This thing is deep man. You have a lot of wealthy Caucasians whom....if you interact with them....realize that individually they aren't very smart and not nearly as smart as you are, so have you ever sat down and wondered how were they able to generate so much wealth?

Troy Lol..... Yes sir, right here on THIS planet...we call "Earth". Can I prove it? No. However just know the technology you're seeing is nothing new. We gave the Caucasians the mathematics by which the technology they are using operates on today and it's only a FRACTION of the mathematics we had at that time.

I guess......... However how much "monetary" incentive is expected to be gained by reporting on so many AfroAmerican men being killed by police when each killing risks mass protests, property damage, and calls for boycotts? I sense there must be some ulterior motives like brainwashing/programing or desensitizing going on with reporting the same sickening images over and over again with seemingly no resolution or justice being brought to the killers. Like you said far more Caucasians are killed by the police than AfroAmericans and I believe that is correct....although I must say many of them are almost FORCED to be killed by the police because they tend to put up far more of a challenge to law enforcement when they engage in reckless and criminal behavior. The average White man will cuss out a cop, call him all kinds of names, threaten to sue him for violating his "rights" and even rip up the ticked and drive off with seemingly no fear of the consequences....lol.

I'd say late 30's or early 40's. ....she happens to look good for her age but I can tell. That's the right aged woman for men who are around 50 - right up to before death, lol

Troy Lol.... Would those "other reasons" make her want to go out and get a RESTRAINING ORDER against you if she found out?????

Troy You believe what I said because you went by your PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. But many Black people who haven't had that experience and just went by their own reasoning would doubt what I said because it wouldn't make any sense to them. "Ha, ha,haaaa....that's bullshit We're all in the same boat! Small White businesses are suffering just like the others. You crazy!!!" They wouldn't be able to fathom a system so organized and disciplined. They just wouldn't believe it.....until they EXPERIENCED it. The "gook bood" says BLESSED IS HE WHO BELIEVES BEFORE HE SEES....lol If you look at the Stimulus Bill they're arguing over right now, it has some provision that protects "small" businesses worth over 1 million dollars but doesn't protect those UNDER a million! These are the little sneaky games they play to undermine Black businesses and get them to fail. It's not just ONE thing, it's many little tricks and schemes and scams. Sometimes they'll just send an inspector into your business to see if you're up to code or if you have separate restrooms for men and women and continue to fine you for every little infraction until they run you out of business. Meanwhile a 75 year old white woman has a picture-framing shop across the street that has been there for 38 years and you NEVER saw anyone go in or out of her door....except her. Yet she somehow remains open and is always smiling and waving at you when you walk by!

I was listening to a show on Youtube and just heard of a video of a Black police officer arresting another White officer!! Apparently they were making an arrest and the White officer tried to brutalize the suspect who was Black and already in custody and handcuffed, and the Black officer ARRESTED HIM ON THE SPOT. I gotta look for this video.

Right message.....wrong person delivering it. Like Snoop Dogg trying to tell Cardi B not to degrade women, lol. What she's saying is correct that we need to eat better and exercise but 2 things: 1. SHE isn't a Native America. She's a Caucasian women with maybe a TRACE amount of Native American heritage in her trying to claim a culture that doesn't belong to her. 2. Different races can eat different foods. What may be healthy for Caucasians to eat and drink, isn't necessarily healthy for us as Africans to eat and drink. For them, a tall glass of milk and an apple may be healthy.....it will give OUR people digestion problems. We need to learn what type of foods are best for US and focus on eating THAT. Also, I can let you in some SOME wisdom that I have from the ancients............. We have had technology for BILLIONS of years that was and is far more advanced than anything in this current society today. But we didn't always use it because we knew that in order to keep our bodies strong it was better to USE them! We had vehicles that we could travel the ground, water, and air BILLIONS of years ago...but most people still WALKED to where they were going for exercise.

Del ¿ y tu ? ¿ cuando estas yendo (voy?) a el United States otra vaz ?

Marvin Gaye Straight Troy Yes, White men commit suicide more but....and you're gonna again say it's crazy....they AGREE to do this. This is their system and they agree to play along in it for as long as they want and when things get too tough, they "check out" of it. Again, they don't mind being poor and they'll even sacrifice their own health for the system of White Supremacy. Now you may ask what sense does any of this make............ Think of YOUR children. What wouldn't YOU do to ensure your children have a safe and successful future? White people will sacrifice their life and health and run out without masks on and catch Covid in order to keep working and keep this society moving and keep making money in order to (so they think) ensure the success of not just their children but the system of White Supremacy. This is why I constantly urge Black folks to wear masks in public and be aware when Caucasians are around them. They don't care about their lives and health like our people do. Most Black folks want to LIVE and ENJOY LIFE.....most Caucasians live to work and maintain the system and ironically they don't mind "dying" trying to do it.

((shakes head)) LOL.

Troy Some said that Harlem changed for the worse once the Puerto Ricans arrived....lol. I would ask you if that's true but I don't think you're old enough to remember the influx because I think that started in the mid-50s.

We're BOTH in agreement in our desire to turn away from this negative shit..... Although my work requires me to stay on top of most things happening in the community to atleast be able to discuss it. Mainly for the reason that is being reported in the article....the STRESS of it. Anxiety is caused by either chemical imbalances or stress...especially stress over things you THINK you can't control (do anything about). I had a panic attack ONE TIME when I was younger and I didn't like that feeling at all. If you're living in a society there you're constantly being humiliated and getting your ass kicked and their is SEEMINGLY little you can do about it, that's enough to stress most people out. It's called the system of White Supremacy. I'm of mixed thinking on why so much of this is being reported lately though..... -I'm wondering is it because the media is getting more advanced so they can report and show so much racist violence and brutality while it's happening, and THAT'S why so much of it is being shown??? -Or are the racists who control the media INTENTIONALLY showing it more and more in order to make the victims of it feel even more and more helpless and hopeless?? -Or is it a combination of both?

Troy I'm glad to see you're settling in down in Tulsa and doing well there! But man, give it up.....she doesn't live there! She was just a pretty little worm they put on the hook, lol.

Troy Yeah, I like talking to people at that advanced 80s and 90s (even 100+ if I can find them) age because I figure if you're Black and have managed to live for THAT lone in THIS society..you can't be a fool! You must have learned a thing or two...lol. I even liked hearing Cynique's stories from her childhood. Man, you mean to tell me his WIFE is also in HER 90s too???? And still walking around fixing food?? I bet his current wife is one of the main inspirations of his high achievement. What CAN'T a man do with a good woman by his side. The brother seems to be divinely favored. He reminded me of ANOTHER brother I knew of here in Michigan named John Barfield: John Barfield He started off as a janitor and ended up becoming a Billionaire. He died recently after his wife did, and BOTH lived to be in their 90s! As far as what he was talking about......................... I think his advice is good for people who don't have the option to build their own community and are forced to live in this one, but we have a choice today. We as AfroAmericans have MANY OPTION and don't have to try twice and thrice as hard to make it in institutions that have been established by and for Caucasians like most Universities and corporations. We have the ability today to create our own. Following his advice is good for those who are smart enough and determined enough, but most of our people right now are AVERAGE and many are below average and stupid. We need a society where atleast the AVERAGE person can be successful. This society will not do it for them. He has some valid points about the police force also, but the same principle applies. AfroAmericans are in a position where we can actually establish our own police departments around the nation if we were motivated to do so.

Troy There is a photo of a woman walking her dogs. I live in that apartment building. I have not met her Lol, man that girl probably doesn't even LIVE there. They probably used HER as a model in the advertising just to get brothers like you to move their THINKING you'll meet her when you arrive.....LOL!!! For about 15 or 20 years they were paying White professionals to move to Detroit. It wasn't very publicized but in certain circles it was huge program they were pushing to get more White people into the city. But the Black presence is so strong and we control so much of the politics and school system of the city that they'd come and stay for only a year or two and then turn around and LEAVE for either the suburbs or relocate to another state all together. So Detroit is Blacker today than it was 20 years ago, despite their efforts, lol. People are generally gonna live where they want to live unless you provide them with a POWERFUL incentive (like love or the promise of love) to motivate them to pull up stakes and change their environment.

"Saying it with AUTHOR-I-TY!! Man, stop.....lol." Daniel 10:6 "His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude." 2 Kings Ch. 5 "26 But Elisha said to him, “Was not my spirit with you when the man got down from his chariot to meet you? Is this the time to take money or to accept clothes—or olive groves and vineyards, or flocks and herds, or male and female slaves? 27 Naaman’s leprosy will cling to you and to your descendants forever.” Then Gehazi went from Elisha’s presence and his skin was leprous—it had become as white as snow." According to this verse, him AND his descendants were cursed to be "white as snow" forever! Oh, the nonsense one can glimpse on online discussion boards. Man! You're telling me......lol

So THIS is the brother..... How coherent was he at 94 years old? Did he seem pretty sharp? How was his health? I've always liked talking with people in their 80s and 90s, especially if they're healthy and coherent.

So in other words........ Many Black people have literally gotten SICK of trying to live with these White folks! The stress of trying to function in a society (Western civilization) that is diametrically OPPOSED to your very biological and psychological nature is bad enough. But add to that the toxic food, toxic medicine, and toxic MISeducational system and it sends a lot of our people right over the edge. AND, on top of THOSE obvious stressors.... This society contains many of what our brother Neely Fuller Jr. calls : Environmental Error Factors
