  1. ((shakes head)) Even the Bible itself is calling Black folks "niger", but so many of our people are lost and confused they refuse to leave that graveyard called The Bible. They just keep coming up with different ways to worship and believe in it.
  2. That young man was Solomon himself. He was described by that girl as having white ruddy skin and jet black hair. I've told people for years that he was a Caucasian as well as most of the other Judeans who invaded and occupied that land that originally belonged to the Black Kena'ani people.
  3. Got one better than him (although George would be runner up).......... Breonna Taylor A first responder with absolutely no criminal history and a promising career, shot to pieces while laying in her own bed. A clear cut case of racist tyrannical murder.
  4. CJ I'm curious.... What's the racial make-up of your organization/group?
  5. Do any of you think this brother was out of pocket...or just straight up assholish....for talking to the sister in such a harsh manner after she called up his show seeking advice? I'm a man and his jabs at the poor girl even had ME cringing a few times.................
  6. While I applaud your efforts to shed MORE light on this topic of unarmed AfroAmericans being killed by the police........... Dr. Wesley Muhammad and other scholars have done extensive research on how AfroAmericans CONSTANTLY being portrayed as helpless victims of racist violence over and over again actually has more of a NEGATIVE effect on the psychological well being of AfroAmericans as individuals as well as the AfroAmerican community as a whole. Believe it or not it leads to MORE stress because it contributes to a collective "depression" or sense of helplessness. At this point, unless the stories of AfroAmericans standing up to racist violence aren't being published and shared as much as if not more than the stories of our brothers and sisters falling victim to it....then it would probably be better if those stories weren't talked about at all. Now, some would consider this a form of denial and to possibly even be dangerous to NOT cover stories of our people being targeted and brutalized by racists. However if you think about it, why draw attention to a problem you have no plans to solve anyway? Pain is an alert system that the bodies uses to draw attention to a problem so that you can DO something about it. If you sprain your ankle, you don't get a pain just to ignore it. .....nor do you limp around the house telling people about how much it hurts ONLY to sit back down and watch some damn television. You get a pain to encourage you to GET UP AND DO SOMETHING about it and make it stop! Solve the problem! Ain't no sense complaining and lamenting over and over and over again about a problem you're not motivated to actually solve.
  7. He also promoted the belief that had been circulating around on the internet that more AfroAmericans supported Trump this election than before, without effectively backing up THOSE claims: More Blacks are supporting Trump this time around - Culture, Race & Economy - AALBC.com’s Discussion Forums If I didn't know better, I would say it appears this "Democrat" has a history of sneak-supporting Donald Trump and promoting conservative ideology among AfroAmericans, lol.
  8. He's not a bosom buddy but I know the brother and his family.
  9. Video of our AfroAmerican brother's trip through a major modern Rwandan city, enjoy:
  10. Well, if you are hearing SOUNDS from people when all you have are words typed on a screen......I'm not the one who's "disturbed"...lol. Those are YOUR words quoted from YOU up in my original post. I suppose you wouldn't mind explaining them....during your down-time in criticizing our writing skills, lol. How can supporting Trump or any other Republican get us back to those ideals as a people when most Republicans don't even uphold them THEMSELVES.
  11. Stefan No one forced me into retirement. Ofcourse no "one" was behind it.....MANY were involved in the decision to let you go, lol. "STEVEN again???? Jeez I swear....everyday day now there's a new problem with that guy. I caught him coming out of the ladies room a couple days ago with a camera". I was also a photographer. The problem is, the ONLY pictures you were taking were of your co-workers. Yet another contributing factor to your early dismissal.....lol.
  12. Excellent answers!Impressive!The biggest mistake (whoever you worked for) made was forcing you into an early retirement!
  13. Delano A few hallucinations (visions) assist abstract thinking. And a few MORE hallucinations will assist in you getting institutionalized! "How are we today Mr. Scratchens? Tell me about the man who lives in your pocket." Troy When asked the same question a buddy of mine said, "they are just the dumb ones." This seems more plausible than assuming these people recognize and accept their role as canon fodder in the maintenance of white supremacy. That certainly IS the case with a few of them. They are human beings and you have some who are smart and some who are not so smart. But the MAJORITY of them understand the system of White Supremacy and agree to live by it's rules or suffer the consequences. Otherwise why do do many of them complain about their situation? If you notice, they don't. If you pay close attention, the only time they REALLY get heated and complain is over programs that help people of color achieve higher socio-economic status. But as far as being poor and having few social benefits......doesn't bother most of them just as long as YOU don't rise above it either. They are less focused on THEIR status and more focused on YOUR status and making sure you know your "place"....which they feel is beneath them. Do you understand what I'm saying? You are trying to "make sense" of a system that was designed by and maintained by people who's psychological make-up is totally different than YOURS. To wonder why some Caucasians don't mind living in poverty with no teeth in their mouths surviving on beer and mayonnaise sandwiches......is like looking at a pack of wolves devouring a deer and wondering how can they stand the taste of bloody raw meat and fur. You're not MADE to understand it. All you can do is recognize it as a fact and accept it.
  14. I haven't visited LSA in YEARS. It had a strong anti-male vibe back when I frequented it but that wasn't the problem for me. I didn't have problems with the women on the board but it was a couple of the SIMPS that I used to get into with that turned me off. Couldn't say anything that could even remotely be taken as sexist or chauvanistic without some clown trying to score brownie points with some woman on there attacking the statement. I tend to be just as aggressive and masculine as I am now....and most of the women actually respected it and liked it. But because men don't think like women, some of the simps would think I was being offensive and saw that as an opportunity. If anyone remember the movie Baby Boy...... I would be the boyfriend Vinh Rhames played while some of those simp-dudes on LSA would be Jody, lol. "You just don't GET it do ya, little nicca? Ya see.... She's YOUR mother, but she's MY woman! Your ass need to learn the difference"
  15. Del Your at a disadvantage, you show little signs of thinking (see that gap, yours is a tad bigger) abstractly. Sir....... Please don't confuse HALLUCINATIONS with "abstract thinking", lol.
  16. In another read, one of our contributors who claims to be a Democrat said to another who claims to be a Republican: These may be old fashioned ideals that many Black people have gotten away from, but my question is...besides Ideal #3....does President Trump embody these ideals and how does supporting HIM enable or restore these ideals in our community? Does President Trump take personal responsibility for his behavior and indescretions? Does President Trump support funding and improving and building more institutions that educate Black children? Does President Trump support Black people being financially literate and achieving economic independence? Does President Trump have a love and respect for Black women or women of any race? Does President Trump reject phony and charlatan behavior and does HIS behavior provide evidence for any answers given? These questions must be answered in order to evaluate whether or not a person who supports Donald Trump is a person who's doing it in the best interests of Black people.
  17. Well, I see I haven't been wasting my time with you after all ! Now, let's work on your spelling....lol. Many of them are in that position because they WANT to be. Nobody is actively "holding them back" and targeting them for failure by putting obstacles in their path to success like they often do to AfroAmericans. When you find a bunch of poor Caucasians with no teeth in their mouth living in trailer parks...most of the time they're happy as hell getting drunk and celebrating that no "n*ggers" are around, lol. "EeeeeeeeeeeeeeeHeeeeeee....tickle, tickle boy!" They don't want wealth. They just want to do their part in the system. Just like a chess game....in the system of White Supremacy you have Kings/Queens and you have pawns. Pawns are more disposable and they know this about themselves so most don't mind living a rough impoverished life for the maintenance of the system. They accept their fate and have decided to live well with it. This is why so many of them are against Universal Health care and higher minimum wages.
  18. No, I don't remember that. Please show me the link or tell me the thread in which I "labeled" you ignorant in.........
  19. Then rather than crying and lamenting over it........... Why don't you petition Troy for your own forum on here to give free basic lessons in writing to correct what you perceive to be a problem?
  20. Lol...I suspect that you're STILL upset that I ruined your stage debut.
  21. Daniel Lol..... Did you used to put the dollar bills in your mouth and lay down on the stage? Delano I remeber the first time I went to a strip club. I do to. I was the one who CHASED you off the stage with the chair....remember???? "Oh my goooodness! I can't BELIEVE he messed up my show like that!!.
  22. See this is EXACTLY what I was talking about in the other thread! Too much focus in and around the Atlanta area. Black people need to focus on more than just flocking to Atlanta. We need to concentrate our population for economic and political power BUT that concentration needs to be congealed into certain hotspots instead of just one.
  23. A whole lot of Arabs and other people from the Middle East are moving to Michigan by the hundreds of thousands and THRIVING despite the cold weather. Owning businesses, buying houses, and raising children. And they come from MUCH hotter climates than most AfroAmericans come from. Mexico is hot as hell but thousands of Mexicans straight from Mexico are starting to flood the state. Southwest Detroit used to be mostly Puerto Rican but now Mexicans have nearly replaced them as 1st place. Many Black people are being TRICKED into being herded all into a few central locations like Atlanta and Dallas. That's not good. We need to keep a sizable presence all over the nation but especially in the South and Great Lakes region. I saw it in the late 80s and 90s when a lot of dudes I grew up with started going to college down south to places like Fisk and Morehouse and others just wanted to get out of town. They all said they wanted to go to Atlanta for the job opportunities and beautiful women (before it became a gay capital). That was a trick. Now many former Black neighborhoods in Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York have been replaced with non-Black immigrants while the Black population has been concentrated in and around Atlanta.
