  1. Let me say........ The election is very very close, and most likely WILL be contested and lead to what I've been waiting on for years. Our rendevous with Destiny. Before we enter our bright future, we must walk through the halls of darkness....but for only a brief moment! So far, things are going EXACTLY the way I want them to go! we have always had our favorites, but no presidents prior to Barack Obama were more beloved than John F Kennedy and to a lesser degree Bill Clinton. I know quite a few older AfroAmericans who loved Kennedy and said he was their favorite. I'm not sure why. He didn't do anything for our people besides talk. Neither did Clinton.....besides get on the Arsenio Hall Show and play the saxophone, lol. "Look yall.... He sho' can play! Play that funky music white boy!" Based on the history that I'VE read, my favorite U.S. President is actually Franklin D. Roosevelt because of the social programs and safety nets he enacted that AfroAmericans and all Americans still benefit from today!
  2. "Triple G" It may help for an individual to first recognize that their group (such as African Americans) is not alone in suffering; so, too, have (and still do) women, Jews, gays, the poor, etc. Suffering is part of the human condition... the human experience... the soul's challenge. Although AfroAmericans aren't alone, what our people are going through is UNIQUE. The pain and humilliation that AfroAmericans are going through may not be as INTENSE as what happened to some other groups but it seems to be longer lasting and more complex than many other oppressed groups. AfroAmericans seem to be particularly "targeted" by White Supremacists more than other groups....for oppression. For example................. I've been in construction sites and restaurants with dozens of Latinos working on them who couldn't speak English but no Border Patrol, ICE agents, or any other law enforcement were harassing them or interrogating them. They were allowed to work and make money in peace. "Mira! No eres los negros......eres bueno ahki, comprendes? Trabajo con paz....carnales!" Now...some of you ask, what's wrong with that? Shouldn't they be allowed to come to America and feed their families? Well..... You may be in a NATION for many legitimate reasons like visiting people or on vacation, nothing wrong with that; but when you are actually WORKING and MAKING MONEY you need to either be a citizen or have a permit to do so....which means you need to speak English to be able to pass certain tests and even read the rules of your job. Which clearly they can't. But they're being ALLOWED to work and make money and send it back home....sucking money out of our economy....with IMPUNITY. You ask again.....well who is THAT hurting, they're doing their own thing. But the problem is why are OTHER people allowed to break the law to make money but when the young brother or sister on the street does it he is harrased and arrested? See, some people are being ALLOWED to break the law and do what they want....while others are being checked on every corner. The only reason many Latinos are having the success that they're enjoying is because they are being ALLOWED to do so by the White Supremacists who aren't going after them. I've worked on jobs where if two or more AfroAmericans stop for a couple minutes to have a chat....a White person will walk up on them and tell them to break it up and get back to work; while on those same jobs Latinos can speak to eachother in Espanol for 5 or 10 minutes straight and the White person will just roll their eyes and walk past them or ignore it. They aren't "targeted" like our people are! These things affects the stress levels and mental health of our people because a person can only take so much harassment and mistreatment and stress before they "snap" and either get violent or become catatonic where they just walk around like a zombie.
  3. Black Love For now.......... But how long will it last? How long will it be before they start trying to push our beautiful intelligent sister AWAY from our brother and into the arms of a Caucasian man? I can already see little discussions between her and her husband in the living room. Little arguments and heated discussions over "Black men" and how they aren't voting enough. Why they didn't support Kamala Harris enough.
  4. Man you sound like the main stream media. Only 20% of the votes are counted and you already go the WHOLE STATE painted "red" and in Trump's pocket, lol. "Well folks, with 20% of the votes tallied, we predict that it looks as if Trump's got Indiana sewn up!" I know it's all one big game, but you can atleast wait until the shit is over BEFORE declaring victory....lol.
  5. Abby Phillip of CNN I don't know what formula they shook up and poured out to MAKE this sista........ But she's one of the most beautiful women on television. PERIOD. I.... I uhhh..... I wouldn't mind waking up and looking over at the sheeply shy brown face every morning for a FEW years, lol. "Yall like my hat?" She's been on CNN for a while, but they're really working Abby tonight. Every 30 minutes they have my sister on giving updates on the selection election.....lol.
  6. Want to hear something VERY conspiratorial? I heard it from a CREDIBLE Source..... That the reason Washington D.C. became a majority AfroAmerican city was as an attempt to "protect" it from destruction from Powerful Forces. The White Supremacists figured that keeping the Capital of the United States SURROUNDED by Black people would prevent a major attack against it from Powers Who were hostile to THEM but not to US. "Hey devils! You may want to lower your weapons before I make this Sweet Chariot swing LOW on that ass!" Preachers would go to schools designated and handpicked by them so that preachers would merely parrot what was put before them as knowledge. Through us, they felt they could control us. The job of these token, look-at-me niggas was to ooh and ahh us with their fancy cars and white women, being sure to make it known that we could derive the same benefits if we did what we were told. That, and another main job of the preachers is to CALM DOWN AfroAmericans when they get angry to prevent them from inflicting violence on the rest of society. Notice every time there's any type of civil unrest by AfroAmericans the Caucasians in charge RARELY come out before the crowds themselves and calm down the scene.....they find a bunch of preachers and push THEM out to the crowd to calm the the restless "savages"....lol. "I KNOW....they shot the boy 11 times! And I KNOW....you all are upset. But let me ask you this....... Will cussing at the police and burning the Popeye's Chicken down, bring little Deonte back?"
  7. Del You are mistaken White Supremacists, White Racists, and the Elite are not all the same. Lol.... How can I be "mistaken" about something I haven't said? White Supremacists are Caucasians who are part of the SYSTEM of White Supremacy.....regardless of their level/rank. White racists are just Caucasians who are racist, whether they actively practice their racism or not. Elitists are just the upper echelon of ANY group (race, religion, class, ect...) Notice they are White Pawns and Black pawns. Yes, but the difference is the White Pawns KNOW they are pawns....lol. Most Black Pawns don't. So based on that analogy you can work out what type of Pawn you are in life. Well how about this....... How about, instead of sitting around playing GAMES with White Supremacy; we kick over the board and start playing OUR OWN game....with ourselves and whoever else is willing to play and accept OUR rules? "Ya bwaay a pricha mon dem An dat da' livin' troot !" Mel and I can assure you there will not be that kind of revolution ever. Noooo.....don't say THAT. "Ever" is a long time.
  8. I think the first thing we need to understand is OUR OWN NATURE as AfroAmericans. Africans like other ORIGINAL peoples were created with a nature of righteousness. Our success in life comes from obeying natural laws and doing that which is RIGHTEOUS (peace, honesty, courage, ect.......) where as Caucasians were made with a wicked plan (born in sin shaped in iniquity) so their very NATURE is wicked. That doesn't mean all Caucasians are evil, it just means that's how a lot of them achieve THEIR success. .....through wicked endeavors like lying, cheating, and unnecessary violence. When you know your NATURE then you know what will work for YOU. I did a thread about the White Way or the Right Way: The White Way Or The Right Way! It explains how we as African peoples can't imitate or follow the advice of Caucasians on how to be successful because what works for THEM doesn't necessarily work for US. Understanding this is the first step towards success and breaking the hold White Supremacy has on our people. For example.............. A lot of our people are locked up for stealing and selling dope. You say, they were denied jobs and locked out of society so the brotehrs did it because they HAD to. But was that their ONLY option? Was begging the Caucasian for a job or selling dope or stealing the ONLY options? "I just didn't know what else to DO man!" Or could about 500 of them had gotten themselves together, marched down to City Hall and DEMANDED easy good paying jobs that paid about $25 an hour and risked getting arrested for THAT...instead of selling poison? Good money. Easy work. Not dangerous. And besides the risk of getting arrested for protesting.....you aren't even breaking the law IF you get the jobs! "What yall brothers getting all 'done up' for?" "Man, we just got hired for some EASY ass jobs! Man....they payin' us $35 dollars an hour AND free lunches just to stand outside of the park and make sure the squirrels don't get hit by cars!" My point is........ There is no real NEED for our people to be "slick" or criminal or immoral or devilish or evil or "gangster". Or only go the direction the White Supremacists have left for you to go. All we have to do is be true to OUR nature! Not THEIR nature...but OUR nature. Be honest and bold and demand EXACTLY what we want and success almost always comes! I've not only witnessed this countless times but I've EXPERIENCED it countless times.
  9. Jeffrey And, similarly, the term "white" attempts to unite too many diverse people. I'm positive the term will collapse on itself. You're right. This is why I prefer the term CAUCASIAN over the generic term "white". Caucasians are a RACE of ruddy skinned people whose origins are predominately from the Caucasus mountains despite their language, religion, or culture. Also, 500 years is actually a very short time in human history, in my opinion. True again. However what happened in the past, is in the past. What will happen in the future, is in the future. As for right now.......lol. When a few European fractions join forces and start profiting, others jump aboard. It becomes something like a pyramid scheme. And we all know pyramid schemes look great until the very last moment of collapse. They're too big to last. This goes to the "we're not unified enough" argument that I've been hearing for years. The argument goes that the Caucasians are ruling because they are more united that our people. And that may be true! But thing is.... Why ARE they? Why do THEY have enough sense to unite to get something done when so many of our people don't? African people should have recognized the threat, put their differences to the side, and united among THEMSELVES in order to defeat the Caucasian invaders. Why didn't they? Even today, we as AfroAmericans have been preaching for decades that we must unite...but haven't for the most part. Now...... If you keep telling a person to do the SAME things over and over again and they still don't get it or don't understand...what would YOU call that kind of person? "Urrrr......I give up. What's the answer???"
  10. Jeffrey I've always admired the passion and sincerity of your posts, but I strongly disagree with the premise implied. Come on bro, it's all good! I expect most AfroAmericans to disagree with that assertion. Not only is it human nature, it's also a survival/defense mechanism to want to believe we are on top and got this thing covered. The key thing about me being able to make that statement was that it provides RELIEF from years and years of confusion and scratching my head as to why AfroAmericans have been and still are in the position we're in. I used to blame it on EVERYTHING except the discrepancy in intelligence levels between Caucasians and AfroAmericans. Even though deep down I suspected it just by the interactions I used to have with Caucasians and my own. Growing up I used to see a lot of brothers just do STUPID shit that didn't make any sense. Like ride around with a car full of dope with the music blaring and acting crazy drawing attention and KNOWING the police are out to lock them up. "Look at me nigga...look at ME!!!!!" Another problem was that the higher intelligence issue was one most White Supremacists used. .....which really made me reluctant to even entertain that possibility. But as I got older and observed more things and more stupidity among many of our people, I started running out of excuses and the COLLECTIVE intelligence difference was one of the only things that made sense to explain what was happening. It seems that no matter what excuse or reason we come up with: -They are more united. -They are more violent -They have more weapons. -They had gun powder. -They have a conquering mind. It all boils back to the fact that our people weren't smart enough to OVER COME them. 400 or 500 years is more than enough time to realize how another group of people are and then make preparations to defeat them.,..if you're able to.
  11. Most people tend to project their feelings and the way they think on to others, even when the truth is that everyone thinks differently. One of the reasons so many Whites fear "pay back" is because they assume that most AfroAmericans think like them. They know THEY would pay THEIR oppressors (if they had any) back when given the opportunity, so they assume most AfroAmericans would do the same. If only they KNEW how thoroughly brainwashed so many AfroAmericans are into loving and respecting THEM while hating and disrespecting eachother...they would rest easy at night...lol. "Ahhhh... My negroes ain't gonna do shit." Gibran It was almost as if the crackers knew what was goijg to happen and they just waited on these wannabe hustlers to step out of line so they could fill the prison up with them. And that is exactly what happened, Ofcourse they knew what was going to happen. They know our people because they've studied us. The White Supremacists study our people more than we study eachother. White Supremacy is a SCIENCE and they have their goals and agendas down to a science. Literally. All of a sudden, they wanted to make prison humane. Prisons became correctional facilities, guards became correctional officers. They hired psychologists and counselors. They ended many of the draconian rules of prison life. They made it possible to take college classes and gave away Pell Grants like they were Skittles. Another thing they did was hire and train more BLACK corrections officers to deal with the much larger Black inmate population. How White Supremacy works...... When there aren't enough REAL Caucasians to go around and maintain control and dominance over the darker population or they don't want to get their hands too dirty, they hire and train SURROGATE "Caucasians" of color to help them do the job and handle most of the dirty work. but who would you want in your corner when the shit hits the fan? If we had to go to war, who do you think gonna be willing to do the dirty work? In a dire situation where there is sure to be drama, who would you want to have you back, some suit and tie corporate brothas, the teachers, the preachers, rappers, entertainers, or niggas from the joint who don’t believe shit stank? Now here is one of the infrequent occasions where I may have to disagree with my brother. Having done years of community work with people who are homeless, out of prison, were living lives on the streets of crime and destitution.......based on MY observations: You don't wanna rely on the average gangsta or street nigga to lead or maintain a Revolution. Too many are undisciplined and un trust worthy in MY opinion. Oh yeah, they have heart and many of them are quick to fight, shoot, and steal for THEMSELVES....but can't be trusted to do it for others including their own family members let alone an entire group. Unless they are in an "I don't give a fuck" mode and ready to go all out, most of them aren't trying to actually confront authority. They'll talk some shit from a distance but when they are approached many would rather take off running. Infact..... Some of the more unscrupulous street brothers would not only NOT fight to protect the community but would even knowingly work with the White Supremacists to help kill and capture their own people for some money and clout! Now I may wrong or mistaken, but that is my opinion based on my LIMITED interaction with street dudes.
  12. Troy This is why people like Candice, Harris, and Omorosa mess with white folks they value money, power, and fame. And notice they are all women. Certainly that has something to do with it as well. Not having the TYPE of ego or pride most men have that would prevent most of us from "submitting" to the humiliation that often comes with "successful" positions in White corporate America. I've had sisters OPENLY brag about how many white d*cks they've sucked to get to the position they're in! Usually justifying it by saying they did it to send their children to school. But still........ There are some Black people who'd hook other Black people up, but those Black people are rare; (1) because we don't often have roles where we are in a position to hire someone and; (2) when they do they are often not included to hook another Black person up. Like Obama, they don't want to be perceived as showing favoritism. To play Obama's advocate.....lol....a problem that often arises from trying to "hook another brother up" is that some brothers jack up the opportunity. Say what you will..... But the thing I notice about most White people is even though a buddy may help them get a job. Nepotism aside. Once they get it they are usually QUALIFIED for the position and can do it properly. They show up to work on time....eat their peanutbutter and jelly sandwich....and get the job done. You're working on a good job, and your boy is hurting and needs some work....so you hook him up at your place of employment. A week later he starts coming in late, smelling like blunts, and squeezing on a female co-worker's butt (the one YOU like) and ends up getting himself in trouble or fired all together. Ultimately this reflects back on YOU. And if it happens too much then you just learn to STOP helping these "niggaz" get jobs and hold on to the one you have, lol. We need to learn how to help out those of our people WORTHY of helping out. If you're too stupid or undisciplined to hold a job.....I'd rather just GIVE you some money rather than bring you to my job and risk you jacking it up. "Man, they fired me over some bullshit man! Talkin' about I threatened to shoot the manager. I just told him to watch how he talkin' to me or I'll run out to the ride and pop the trunk! That's all I said!"
  13. Troy you over looked this statement do you agree with it? I didn't over look it. I just didn't have much of an opinion about it besides NOT agreeing with it. Human beings and the groups they form are far too varied and random to make a statement like "evenly distributed". If I were on a college campus and saw a groups of professors walking together should I assume it was "evenly distributed" with smart people and dumb ones.....lol. When has that ever happened? I thought Delano's scenario was hypothetical and all considerations of it would be kept in the hypothetical realm. However you must also acknowledge there have been plenty of instances in history where armed people have been disarmed by smarter unarmed people.
  14. Troy You believe you are protecting Black boys from the evil racists who have added something to vaccines that target only Black boys and gives them autism. Lol....in a nutshell. You have the inside knowledge being hid from us and everyone else are ignorant or fools (the morally convicted, recjects science). Nooo Troy, noooooo.....here you go again attempting to PAINT a picture of my position to make it seem extreme or ridiculous. You are embellishing my position in a similar fashion to building strawman arguments. First of all I don't have "inside knowledge" about the vaccines. I have certain BELIEFS about them based on the knowledge and beliefs that I DO have from what I've read and heard. I don't KNOW too much truth about them one way or the other because I haven't been privy to enough first hand evidence and facts. Nor do I think those who disagree are "ignorant" or "fools". They have their beliefs and I have mine. The BIGGEST difference between AfroAmericans like me and them are that we DO NOT TRUST the Caucasians who are pushing vaccinations like they do. And because of this distrust we suspect them to be the cause of many of the problems. You trust them! And because you do, you don't suspect them of any maliciousness behavior UNTIL it manifests itself clearly beyond any doubt....lol...and then you are taken by surprise....lol. If we both were alive back in the 1940s, YOU would be surprised that they were giving Black men syphilis......I wouldn't have. I wouldn't have trusted them in the first place. Correlation does not prove causation. No, but it is EVIDENCE of it. It's certainly something that would cause you to take notice and dig deeper. I'm curious though were did you read about an increase in autism Black boys? https://neurosciencenews.com/autism-rates-14819/ https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-7461319/Autism-rates-rising-fastest-Hispanic-black-children-study-finds.html https://www.colorlines.com/articles/new-documentary-alleges-cdc-withheld-proof-link-between-vaccines-and-autism-black-boys https://www.healmindbody.com/higher-autism-rate-among-african-american-boys-receiving-mmr/
  15. Elijah Muhammad taught his followers to seek ROOT knowledge. Meaning, don't let Caucasians just give you the surface definition of a word because they can cause a lot of confusion and deception that way. Go to the ROOT of words and their origins (usually in Greek and Latin when it comes to European words) in order to find out the TRUE and ORIGINAL meanings. Democracy is NOT the rule of "people". Democracy is the rule of DEMONS (devils). And that's what you have in Western civilization. A civilization or system in which DEMONS (literally) are in charge. When you see Caucasians in power on television talking about "spreading democracy" they are talking about spreading THEIR rule and system around the world. And if you know what a REAL demon/devil is then you will agree....lol. Can you see why some governments (in dealing with humankind) would choose to be authoritarian or totalitarian? Absolutely. I don't believe it's the BEST form of government, but sometimes authoritarian regimes are necessary to establish order and stability in society. In the "old world" (which is currently still operating) most well run and stable governments OF COLOR are AUTHORITARIAN (China, Cuba, Nigeria, Iran, North Korea, Zimbabwe, ect....) ruled. Not so-called "democracies". It may sound counter-intuitive but letting people of color have TOO MUCH liberty leads to self destruction.....like what happened in Iraq after Sadaam was removed. Unlike most Caucasians who tend to be self-disciplined, most People of Color in this "old world" need a strong ruler with an iron fist. In the "New World" that will no longer be necessary.
  16. Gibran Alright Gibran...... Now I remember you well because you've giving me the same feeling about you NOW that I had about you.....I guess some years ago...when you first started posting, lol. I can't find it right now, but I remember saying something along the lines of your posts being the only ones with the ability to leave me SPEECHLESS! And you haven't failed yet. Your gift of articulation jogged my memory! Now let me slice this turkey up piece by piece....lol. I can feel you on that. No doubt, there is a white way of doing things in America and it usually works for whites as they understand the nuances of what is to be done and exactly how it is to be done to reap the benefits. First, they have the complexion and the connections. Mainly, when a white kid needs a job, he doesn't have to scan the want ads. He merely makes a phone call and someone he knows know someone who knows someone. He has a job. It is that simple, sometimes. When I talk to younger brothers, one of the first things I ask them is have you EVER seen a White man fill out a job application? Because I haven't. Everytime I see a White man working he's ALREADY working, I haven't seen one apply or even ASK for a job. The jobs I've been on where a White man is working....he's already BEEN there....lol. And if I walk in one day and see another, as soon as I figured he must have just got hired, I usually find out he was TRANSFERED from another location where he had BEEN working...lol. They got this thang sown up for some time. They make it look so easy and we think we can do it. Sometimes, it works. Sometimes, it does not. Why? Because when they follow the signs or the rules put in place by their own people, it like they using a paint-by-numbers plan. They can't lose. On the other hand we playing the game with blindfolds on. We get tricked into believing that if the system works for Mr. Charlie, it will produce for me as well. We believe that if if works for them it will works for us. It works for them because it was meant for them. When I was a peewee, when I got a cut, I would grab a band-aid. On the box, it said flesh-colored but when I put it on, it did not match my flesh. Excellent analogy. You noticed it with band-aids, I noticed it with "flesh colored" talcum powder....lol. Like you said, the system works for them because it was meant for them. It was built by them. Which means they had to study THEIR nature! They know themselves and they also studied OUR nature. They have this thing down to a science. Just like you said about the medicine being designed for a 110 pound white woman. The psychology they use and teach was meant to benefit themselves, not us. We don't value ourselves or our skills. Do you realize that Caucasians value the skills and creativity of AfroAmericans more than they do! I literally mean they VALUE it more....as in they PAY MORE MONEY for it! Look at how so many Caucasians have gotten rich off of selling Hiphop (AfroAmerican invention), Basketball, dancing, Boxing, and other industries dominated by skillful and talented AfroAmericans! While the brother and sisters are out dancing and hooping and walking up and down the street rapping for fun or out of boredom, the Caucasians spots the talent and convinces him to go on tour and make millions! Why? Because they RECOGNIZE and VALUE our skills and creativity. They may not have those same skills and creativity in them....but they know how to exploit it in others. Another thing is how right you are to note how brothas in the underground economy can mimic the game of the crackers with some success. On the streets, we have to be versatile to survive. We can't be one-dimensional as is the case with a lot of brothas in the corporate world. In order to get in, they have to make sacrifices to fit in. They toe the corporate line and do as expected. On the streets, we adapt. When we saw the white man playing the stock market, we set down the numbers games on the same principles. This system STIFLES AfroAmerican creativity. It takes what a lot of our people tend to be good at and either makes it illegal or forces you to get a license to engage in it in order to discourage and dissuade our people from engaging in it. They try their best to force our people to either DO NOTHING or accept their subservient "place" in THEIR society. This is one of the reasons this system must collapse. As long as our people are under it's authority they will not be able to meet their full potential, because this system won't allow you to reach it. This system LIMITS our success as AfroAmericans and even seeks to limit the THINKING of the children to limit their creativity.
  17. If you have a spiritual person, an intellectual, an athlete, a poet and a humanist on an island, the person with the gun will be in control. Not for long. Chances are the "intellectual" will find a way to take that gun away from him. That doesn't make the gunner more evolved or elevated than the other inhabitants. No. But if the gunner MADE his own gun while the other inhabitants relied on throwing rocks for their protection......it is a SIGN of him having higher intelligence. And if he shows a CONSISTENT PATTERN of making other high-tech weapons to increases his power....then that is a SURE SIGN that the gunner is working with superior intelligence.
  18. Even when it comes to illegal activity When it comes to selling drugs, running numbers, and pimping. I'm not advocating these activities. However, it's funny how a lot of Black people who can't make it on jobs or make it through high school but actually EXCEL in these unregulated underground activities that require a lot of complex business and social skills in order to be successful at them. The only "failure" is getting arrested and going to prison and that's because they don't control the laws or their enforcement. But they actually SUCCEEDED in the activities themselves and made a lot of money engaging in them! Little Black boy can't remember the correct answers to pass a 7th grade exam, but the same boy can memorize an entire rap album after listening to it for only a week. Why? These are not only activities that our people LIKE doing and generates a lot of money but it also allows them to do them THEIR way without a Caucasian standing over them with their arms folded advising them or forcing them to do it in a particular way. So they learn success developing their own style. Try to do shit HIS way and you get frustrated, confused, and not only fail but might even end up discouraged from ever trying again! "Man I TRIED to do it the way you told me to but....I can't figure out.... They never even READ my resume!" But we do GREAT when we do things OUR way! "Come on ladies...... Stop playing, yall know I gotta get up tomorrow morning. I'm a busy nigga. I got 3 businesses to stay on top of!"
  19. After years of doing what I "thought" were the right things in life I'm beginning to understand that.....atleast for myself personally.....following the rules and taking the advice that Caucasians give for success doesn't work most of the time for me and it doesn't seem to work for MOST OTHER AfroAmericans either. From my personal experiences and observations, following MY OWN rules or the rules and advice of other successful AfroAmericans work much much better and yeild more successful results. I like what Dr. Boyce Watkins said recently: He said Black men and women need to make OUR OWN rules. He said you aren't gong to be successful letting Caucasians TELL YOU how to be....lol. Now I've known this for years before he said it, but it's always good to hear another person bear-witness to and articulate what you've been thinking and saying. How many of you have had the same experiences in life? How many of you have noticed that when you listen to Caucasians either on the job or in other areas of life no matter how smart or successful they were and followed their advice, much of the time you ended up FAILING and CONFUSED. But when you say "Fuck what he said...I'm gonna do this MY way".....you for some reason ended up SUCCEEDING?
  20. Education is crucial, and as a culture we have dropped the ball on that big time. I'm not sure who you mean by "we". If you're talking about our society collectively the White Supremacists have NOT dropped the ball on education. They are very educated in how to do what THEY do and the control they maintain over society is evidence of that education. However if you mean "we" as in AfroAmericans, I agree....we need more education. But we need PROPER education that helps us to first stabilize then advance our communities and provides us with prosperity. Simply sending our children to Caucasian operated/approved Universities to be brainwashed and certified in how to function and get along in White society isn't the type of education our children need. It hasn't helped the majority of our people anyway.....which is why so many of our young men end up dropping out early on. By PROPER education I mean knowledge of how to effectively build housing and infrastructure in our communities. Learning how to cultivate the soil and grow our own foods. Learning medicine and how to cure diseases and heal injuries. Learning Black psychology to effectively deal with our people and their diversity of problems. This is PROPER education and this is what we need. Simply going to school to learn how to pledge and have "stepping" contests where people stand around eating fried chicken and potato salad may help INDIVIDUAL AfroAmericans achieve success but does little to advance our community collectively. "Ahhh....go 'head baby!!"
  21. Personally, I support an across the board FLAT tax of less than 10% for all people regardless of their income. Infact, the Federal Government doesn't really need anyone's taxes because they have the Constitutional right to literally make their own money. The only governments that "need" taxes as a source of revenue are State and Local governments.
  22. Troy Do you know human nature? It's PERFECTLY NATURAL for human beings to make broad generalizations! That's one of the reasons we are able to not only survive but be successful. Do you run a lab-test on every morsel of food you put in your mouth to determine whether or not it's fit to eat.....or do you assume based on broad generalizations that what you eat is GOOD to eat and won't harm you? Did you drill every woman you ever met as to whether or not she was a LESBIAN first before going out with her? Or did you make broad generalizations about them being heterosexual unless they gave you a hint that they weren't? Do you give all of your students IQ tests before admitting into your class to avoid generalizing them and assuming they have the intelligence to comprehend? It's natural for human beings to notice patterns in different groups and make broad generalizations and lump them into categaories. It saves time and energy and helps us to achieve our objectives much quicker! Generalizations prevent you from smiling at another man the same way you smile at a woman. There's nothing inherently wrong with broad generalizations. It helps you to establish patterns in society for success and safety.
  23. Troy If you had children @Pioneer1 you really would not get them vaccinated? Not if I could help it. I used to run around saying what I would and wouldn't tolerate without realizing that there are authorities with more power who have sneaky ways of doing things without my knowledge and I had to recognize that. I was engaged before and me and my fiance used to talk about this all the time because she worked (works?) in the medical industry and believed in vaccines too. When we talked about children and what our family would be like we went rounds and rounds over whether or not our children would be vaccinated and how many they would get. But she also understood my distrust and believed in natural medicine as well. So I would do my best to see that they WERE NOT vaccinated. But then again....... I wouldn't send my children to public fools schools anyway. If there weren't any decent AfroAmerican private schools to send them to I'd HOME SCHOOL them. Let us save some time......... I have numerous scientific articles that prove there is a rise of autism among Black boys but none of them say that the rise is due to vaccines. Something tells me that won't be enough for you.
  24. Troy There is a cliche that goes, "everything after the 'but' can be ignored." I've heard that saying to, but I don't ascribe to it. As far as I'm concerned, "but" doesn't cancel out the previous message. It just means the focus should be on what I'm about to say instead of what I already have. But hey, I'm not an English grammar scholar so I could be wrong...lol. I arrived at my above conclusions based on what I've SEEN and EXPERIENCED as well as what I've read over the years. It's not just from one source or a couple sources that I arrive at my conclusions, it's years and years and years of information taken in and processed with logic and reason. Most people don't want to accept being thought of as less intelligent, less good looking, or less strong....so they tend to make excuses to explain their short-comings or failures or positions they constantly find themselves in. I used to make excuses as to why Caucasians were so successful and ruled over our people so much for so long but if I didn't know history and just went by my PERSONAL INTERACTIONS ALONE with with various races, that would have been enough to convince me that many of our people just don't have any damn sense. If for 50 years you've noticed that whether you're on a job, at a grocery store, or just walking down the street and ask an AfroAmerican a simple question and ask a Caucasian the same question and over 75% of the time the Caucasian has the CORRECT answer while over 75% of the time the AfroAmerican either: -Don't know and don't care to know it or -Gives you the WRONG answer or -Gotta run and ask a White man for the answer himself or -Instead of simply answering the question jumps up and down and acts a fool for you even asking them...lol. You begin to notice a pattern REAL quick, lol. Pioneer1: "Excuse me, do you have non-refrigerated Greek Yogurt and if you do where do you keep it?" "Oh, yes sir..... It's right over in aisle G" "It's over in the other....wait..... damn...it's...damn where is it? Ok, let me call a manager (call a white man) because I knew we USED to carry some but...." Lol.....tired of making excuses for some of these brothers.
  25. Troy Bro, you started the conversation with this. I understand, and I stand by that statement. But your previous post was SPECIFIC about doubting whether or not the White Supremacists were deliberately infecting themselves. So I focused on proving to you that according to the FBI report they are NOT. Now, if that's clear and you accept the report that they are NOT deliberately infecting themselves.....we can move on.
