  1. Delano Perhaps we don't know that we can choose. I find numbers, Logic and mythology, more useful than Science, religion and philosophy. Modern MEDICINE is a product of science. Don't tell me you find numerology and mythology more useful than doctors and hospitals. Troy That just means it is revolutionary to them. Clearly the ancients had a more profound knowledge of the heavens and the natural world. I wish I could go back in time and experience that period. Based on what I've heard from numerous sources, African traditional "shamans" have techniques for taking you back in time to do this and show you things. Many believe that TIME like space can actually be manipulated.
  2. Is it a good idea to go out and stand in long lines during a Pandemic?
  3. A "myth" is just an old rumor....lol. Some are true. Some are not true. Some are only partially true. For example................ They say that Black men having larger penises than other races of men is just a "myth". But most women who've been with various races of men to compare KNOW that it isn't merely a myth but is actually true. Most medical professionals also know this is true.
  4. The Caucasians who run this society don't want REAL sexual liberation. They may SAY they do, but they don't. They are promoting gay marriage and other different forms of marriage but they are NOT promoting polygamy and even want to keep it illegal because they know to allow it would be instrumental in repairing the AfroAmerican family structure. They'd much rather see 2 Black men or 2 Black women married to and smooching on eachother, than to see a Black man with 2 Black women smooching and hugging on him.
  5. Troy Man do you think it is the same today? Maybe Canada can be my next stop after Tulsa No. Infact, it was changing even back when I was a teenager! The negative influence of so much of AfroAmerican culture has had a negative influence on AfroCandians over the past few decades so today you find many of the same pathologies wth them that you find with AfroAmericans. I used to WARN Black Canadians even when I was in my 20s, to stop trying to imitate Black Americans in terms of behavior and dress and the like. It leads to nowhere but animosity between you and the more liberal Canadian society. But the power of Gangsta Rap and the influence of Jamaican culture was so powerful that a lot of AfroCanandians and especially the youth were and are attracted to it. Today a lot of African, Caucasian, and other races of women in Canada want nothing to do with Black men today because of the negative stigma and criminality attached to involvement with them. They may like the sex, but they don't think it's worth the risk of even getting involved. Seriously, why so many Black people feel compelled to go to Europe always escaped me. If you are looking for women go to Africa or DR sisters are waiting their with open arms I'm not sure as I haven't been to Africa or the Dominican Republic yet....but I HAVE been to Europe so I know how they treat brothers. Many of the African and Dominican women who immigrate to the United States SEEM to want little to do with AfroAmericans and especially AfroAmerican men. Unlike European women who are highly interested in sex with AfroAmerican men......it appears that sex doesn't seem to be on the minds of most immigrant women who come to the United States. A lot of women underestimate the power they have to control men through a man's ego. A lot of brothers get with women because of how they make them feel! They don't look a good as American women, but when you go to Europe the women there will openly proposition you for sex so much that you'll start feeling like a gigalo....LOL. I actually find African immigrant women FAR more attractive than European women, but they just didn't seem to be very interested in me or any other AfroAmerican man. If they DID sleep with someone outside of their culture it was usually with a White man, lol.
  6. So @Pioneer1 will the modern day School House Rock video motivate you to vote? As I've said before, I'm ALREADY motivated to vote.....for local elections. I wouldn't waste my time or risk exposure during a pandemic to stand in some long ass line and play some CEREMONIAL game for something that has already been decided. Barack should have hired this Brother to spread this message during the first midterms after his election. Seriously. True. That would have actually been a good idea. But I'm thinking President Obama...like most AfroAmerican politicians... doesn't take Rap and Hiphop in general as serious and as a staple of AfroAmerican culture as he SHOULD. If they did, they'd employ far more Rappers and R&B artists than they currently are. Given President Obama's desire to constantly work with and compromise with his racist opposition instead of DEFEATING them, he probably would have under estimated the influence the brother could have had and regulated him to the back-burner. After the midterms Barack talked about getting shellacked when he should have been helping people understanding the importance of voting not just for him but for the people in the Senate and House. Maybe he did do that and the media did not cover it.... Barack got "shellacked" (first time I heard that term used for defeat....lol) because of his relentless desire to COMPROMISE the principles the Democratic party CLAIMED to stand for and work with racist Republicans who had no intention of working with him. The same thing Biden is doing right now. He comes to Michigan and stays AWAY from Detroit and Flint ignoring thousands of Black voters who are undecided....and instead go out into small hick-towns and suburbs giving speeches to racist Caucasians who just stand around grinning at him with their arms folded knowing damn well they ARE NOT going to vote for him. Do THESE people look like they'd vote for Biden or any other Democrat? Now if you DON'T want to believe that Presidents are already selected and your votes for them are irrelevant....... Then you'd have to agree that President Obama is actualy the MAJOR reasons your boy Agent Orange is in office right now! How? Because before he even got in office, the man broke several laws while campaigning and President Obama refused use that opportunity to go after him and keep him out of office! He just let his crimes go....and let him dance his way into the Whitehouse unopposed. He could have investigated and challenged the election and how Hillary ended up getting 3 million more votes but still losing. If the man actually had a pair and had FOLLOWED THE LAW and properly investigated and prosecuted.....Clinton would be President right now and the nation wouldn't be going through what it's currently going through! At one point even Trump himself said if what he did was so bad then why the hell didn't Obama and his DOJ do their fucking jobs and investigate!!!!! Obama broke NO LAW and President Trump STILL used his powers to investigate him and try to get him and Hillary indicted and locked up, but despite his collusions with Russia and other crimes even before taking office, Obama REFUSED to do a damn thing about it. Typical Democrat post Roosevelt.....weak as water. And you want me to support these clowns???
  7. Troy The article could go much deeper by describing how people are also hurt because businesses that they might have enjoyed have been hobbled or have destroyed because Google has rendered them invisible in search, unless they can pony up advertising dollars. Perhaps this is an incentive for AfroAmerican business owners to STOP relying so much on private Caucasian owned establishments like Instagram and Facebook to promote and carry their businesses! A little over 10 years ago I noticed a RUSH of AfroAmericans who had their own websites who just abandoned them and decided to do all of their promotions and advertising on Facebook....like fools.....because they thought it was easier to manage. They let their laziness get the better of them. Now they're complaining about how Twitter and Facebook are treating them. Infact, we need to relying so much on the internet in general and start building more 4-WALL BRICK AND MORTAR businesses and other institutions! Stop relying so much on the cyber world for your sustenance. Troy, do you have an actual warehouse where your books are stored and secured?
  8. There's nothing "revolutionary" about this idea. The ancients made the connection thousands if not millions of years ago. It's no more "revolutionary" than discovering that the planet is round. Caucasian scientists are JUST NOW catching up with what was OLD knowledge to pre-fallen people of color.
  9. When I was a kid an elder brother used to say quite often, and I quote: "Leave it to a nigga to finally get his shit together when the show is over and the world is ending." I wasn't sure what he meant by saying that when I was a kid but the older I get the more I understand the wisdom of it by observing the behavior of many of our people. I put this Rapper's educational video in the same category as Bit Coin investing and real-estate classes so many AfroAmericans are promoting today.....old knowledge for a dying world. Things that our people should have been discussing 20 or 30 years ago when it really mattered. But not today. This is good for a basic primer of how the government is organized but as far as I'm concerned it's too little too late. This society and the system itself is most likely on the verge of COLLAPSE. White folks INVENTED this system and even THEY no longer have faith in it and don't trust it or the political process....which is why both sides are suspicious of ANY outcome. We may have different expectations........ I'm expecting a NEW society and system that will be controlled by us. And the lower level White Supremacists want a NEW society that is still controlled by them but with a totally different structure. ....but no one has any more faith in this current process except for a handful of confused Negroes who HOPE everything will be alright if they just vote for whoever is LEAST racist. So most of what he's talking about as far as voting and what it will or won't do for us is irrelevant at this point. The brightest point of his message was at the 2:55 minute mark when he says "imaging life on the other side". That's what we should be focused on doing as AfroAmericans. We should stock up on food, water, and warm clothing, and imaging life on the OTHER SIDE of the chaos as we hunker down in our homes and protect ourselves, our families, pray that The SUPREME BEING brings us through to the other side and on into the bright and beautiful future that I'm expecting for us. Instead of bouncing up and down the street with a head full of nappy yellow hair swinging his arms over food stamps, this young brother should use his talents to proclaim a NEW GOSPEL for life on the other side of the river instead of attempting to educate slaves on how he "thinks" the plantation is ran. Instead of rapping for which Caucasian will raise the minimum wage so your paycheck from Dairy Queen will be a little bigger on your way back to your crumbling ghetto dwelling.....perhaps the brother should rap about a NEW system where we're growing our own food and building our own houses!
  10. Troy Have you ever considered that the SAME people who came up with the vaccine for Polio are the SAME people who introduced it in the first place? "Mornin' How's it going there buddy!" There is no record for African peoples suffering from Polio UNTIL coming into contact with Caucasians. The same can be said of Covid 19 Perhaps keeping THEM out of our communities would be far more effective at keeping diseases away than any vaccine....lol.
  11. Ice Cube was able to get Kushner to ask Trump to boost the “Platinum Plan” supposedly to raise $500 billion in capital for Black folks in the U.S. Of course, Kushner agreed to ask for an increase. Under "ordinary" circumstances this would have been a wise move. But these aren't ordinary circumstances.......this society (and most likely the System itself) is collapsing. Most of the old rules and laws don't apply. But Ice Cube has an affiliation with the Nation of Islam and like me he knows a lot about the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam in general in understanding who the Jews are (the leaders of the Caucasian race). We've been taught that if you're going to get anything of substance from Caucasian society you are advised to seek the assistance and council of the Jews. Jared Kushner is Jewish and has the power and influence to help Ice Cube and other AfroAmericans in this society (as long as it lasts).
  12. Skin folk vs Kin folk...... Many of our people just look for EXCUSES to argue and fight with other Black people and network with Caucasians. They may used different excuses or find different ways to justify it, but in the end it leads to the same destination. Hatred for and animosity with your own people. While loving on and befriending and snuggling up to Caucasians. I was watching a television show the other day called Family Chantel about a Mulatto AfroAmerican and Dominican Republican couple. Both of those families were Afro-descendant. They looked similar and acted similar. But made every effort in the world to fight eachother and NOT get along. The only time they made some sort of peace is when a White woman sat both families down at a table to keep things at order. They didn't respect or like eachother but they both respected and liked the White woman.
  13. Troy My desire isn't necessarily for a "polygamous world". It's for a LIBERAL world where polygamy is allowed along with other marriage structures that people desire. Again, the only thing I don't think should be tolerated at all is sexual assault or pedophilia. Or sex with animals....lol. As far as the amount, a person can have as many spouses as they like as long as all those involved agree to it. Personally, if I were to marry multiple wives my desire would be that all of my current wives AGREE to the new wife I'd like to marry in order to keep harmony in the home. But as of now in THIS society, it's just a dream. Right now I don't have the wealth and power to be a GOOD husband and father to my wife and children. Besides, this society is collapsing (as it should) and it's not fit to try to raise a family in now. If I live through the turmoil and chaos and make it through to the other side where WE (AfroAmerican men) can make our own laws be able to generate our own wealth and support and protect our women and children the way we are SUPPOSED to.....I'll entertain getting married.
  14. Troy Around my early 20s Gangsta Rap was really starting to spread with NWA and the like and I saw the changes in the AfroAmerican community. Living right on the border and knowing how much Canadian women (of all races) loved Black American men regardless of our income or how we acted.....me and some of my boys started going to Canada more and more to meet women. No need to put on a show. No need to act like a thug or gangster. No need to talk about how many people you shot or seen shot in order to impress people. Just be BLACK. ....and that was strong and tough enough for the average Canadian woman at that time. I seem to remember you giving Cynique grief about her complexion but I could be wrong. What???? Man I didn't clown on Cynique's "high yellow" ass.....lol. That was Sara. She brought up her complexion a few times during their beefs. Personally, despite her age I thought Cynique was an attractive (physically) woman. I tried flirting with her a few times but she was so crabby and confrontational (toward me atleast) that I decided to just deal with her on her OWN terms.....lol. But that is an example of the "tough" attitude so many of our (AfroAmerican) women have. I'm not sure if it's the environment our sisters are raised in or part of their DNA to be stingingly confrontational but whatever the truth is most brothers I know don't like it and have complained about it for years. I've met women from other countries who've been in WARS and seen villages and family members killed infront of them who don't have the tough and hard attitude so many of our sisters have. I do know most women have an innate desire to be and feel protected so perhaps the thug or criminal represents a man capable of that protection. But a thinking man like myself readily sees too many drawbacks of being a criminal or thug in THIS society just to impress women and get a little coochie....lol. Is a few nights of sex worth risking your life in a shoot out or getting 20 years in prison for doing something to impress some woman you don't know? I figured it was better to cross the border to happier hunting grounds. And when I finally got a chance to go to Europe....game over!
  15. Troy No I'm not married and don't desire a wife. Honestly, if I had enough wealth to COMFORTABLY support myself as well as several other women and children I would LOVE to get married and have a family. Most likely to multiple wives. But if I can't take care of them the way I WANT to, it takes away the desire. I'm not fixed on polygamy, but most of the Black men I know have relationship issues with their ex's (ex-girlfriends, ex-wives, ect....) and that's not natural or normal. Men and women not being able to get along with eachother isn't normal. Clearly this current society arrangement isn't working for OUR people regardless as to how well it's working for Caucasians and Asians. You talk about the "challenge" of relationships and certainly all relationships come with issues.....but the challenges we're seeing in the AfroAmerican community are ridiculous. When both the males and females understand themselves and eachother and know their PROPER roles....most of the problems evaporate. One of the problems is that AfroAmerican women don't respect most AfroAmerican men enough to be passive "wives" to them. And the brothers aren't respected because despite their money or education...many AfroAmerican men don't have REAL power in this society, and our women know it. They know that no matter how much of a "man" we claim to be, if you say or do the wrong thing all she has to do is get on the phone and call some Caucasian men in uniform to put you in your place. Or get a Caucasian men in a suit to give her a job, or get her a divorce, or to get custody of the children, or to force you to pay her so much money every month. She (the AfroAmerican woman) knows who has the REAL power in this society and this affects how they see and relate to us. "Look. You AIN'T my daddy so get the FUCK out my face before I call the PO-lice and have yo' black ass locked up UNDER the jail....OKAAAAY!"
  16. Troy It took me a minute to figure out what you meant by "soda". In the Midwest we call it "pop". I think down in Florida like most of the South they call everything a "Coke".....lol. Perhaps it's generational, but I've RARELY seen AfroAmericans of any age drinking Red Bull and I have YET to see an AfroAmerican drinking a Monster Drink.
  17. Troy I'm not sure what's going to happen. But I think the conditions for most AfroAmericans in the United States today is intolerable and things are only going to get worse if these same White Supremacists remain in power. Forget about a Civil War or the collapse of society. Let's hypothetically pretend that everything goes smoothly and Biden gets in office...... Do you honestly look forward to a society where Covid 19 rages on and mandatory vaccines are the norm?
  18. Troy I don't talk about it all the time but I thought I mentioned my complexion a few times on this site, lol. Now the light-skinned brothers did have it easier, the sisters use to favor them -- especially if they were tall, slim, had light eyes, and "good hair." It seems things changed around the time Michael Jordan was popular. Jordan made dark skin and a bald not just acceptable, but even desirable SOME light skinned brothers have it easier, not all. I was slim and never had much of a weight problem but wasn't considered too "pretty".....lol. Believe it or not, I actually attracted more Caucasian girls than AfroAmerican girls because while a lot of AfroAmerican girls went for the "pretty" dudes (El Debarge, Prince, Christopher Williams, ect.....) you were talking about but a lot of White girls just wanted ANY Black dude and didn't care how he looked....lol. Then the thuggish brothers emerged as the favorites of ladies, you know the kinda timberland-wearing, pant-sagging, tattooed, nigga that would hurt you for a minor slight. Every girl wants a man with at least a little thug in him. Perhaps, to your point @Pioneer1, rap played a part in this... I dunno. They really pushed this with their promotion of Tupac and other Gangsta Rappers. The White Supremacists had to figure out a way to get AfroAmerican men more engaged in crime and violence in order to have an excuse to lock them up......so they tricked them into being criminals with drugs and Gangsta Rap. Encourage the young ladies to find "thugs" and criminals attractive and most men will play that role to attract them.
  19. Troy You keep saying this, but there was, and is not uniform African culture. We can from different groups of people with different culture and languages. There are certain things ALL Africans (racial Africans....not necessarily Arabs or White Africans) have in common despite nationality or ethnicity. For one thing, almost all African societies practice POLYGAMY whether it's a sanctioned part of the culture or not. It's part of our DNA, our nature. And so are EXTENDED FAMILIES where everyone in the community takes part in helping raise the children. but we can definitely learn from them. They have accomplished great things. I also agree that we can definitely learn a lot from Caucasians; but we must first have an OBJECTIVE. See, when you have an OBJECTIVE then whatever you learn can be used to accomplish YOUR objective. When you don't have an objective of your own or none at all, then whatever you learn will eventually steer you towards the objectives of those you're learning from and you will begin imitating them.
  20. Red Bull tastes just like a chemical that comes straight out of a laboratory. And so does those Monster drinks you see a lot of Caucasian youth guzzling down. They put these "energy" drinks out specifically for Caucasians to give them more energy to work longer and harder. And they are HIGHLY addictive. Notice how in the past 10 years everywhere you see Caucasians doing a lot of physical work you see a lot of Red Bull and Monster drink cans sitting around. It was designed for them.
  21. Troy It is curious that you got you panties all twisted up over some white militia group's chatter to infect Jews with Covid, meanwhile you can't be bothered to do something as simple has to voting. At this point, I see it as a waste of time and energy . Our collective fate as AfroAmericans is SET. We have a rendezvous with Destiny. The moment of TRUTH is at the front door and prepared to make a Grand enterance. Daniel He does not realize how ill prepared him and his posse is for nationhood. Oh, but YOU are ready? Well, I hope you are..... Because the White Supremacist have ALREADY decided that Negroes aren't needed anymore and have become more of a liability for them than an asset. And the turmoil of Trump's presidency gives them the opportunity to TRY to do something about that problem and "take back America". If you think you're going to continue to live UNDER Caucasians and let them run everything and take care of you like a baby while you lay around on the couch munching on potato chips and dreaming up children's books to sell online, you're going to be in for a VERY RUDE awakening. If your fellow Republicans get THEIR way you better box up your children's books and get ready to sell them on the street corners of some city in Liberia...... Because the only job waiting on you HERE will be one requiring a shovel and some work gloves. "Shit man! I had a bid'ness and everythang! Them White folks TOOK my books. Burned them up. And told me to get my ass out there in them fields and start digging! Now can you DIG that shit?"
  22. I'll let you in on a little secret that I've noticed for years as a light skinned man myself....... A lot of light skinned and actually White looking people (whether you want to accept them as "Black" or not) love being around Black people not because they sincerely enjoy their company.....but because of the high regard and respect and WORSHIP some of them get from Black folks. Most of our people (AfroAmericans) have low self esteem and they consciously and subconsciously see Caucasians as superior or better. So the closer you LOOK like a Caucasians a lot of our people tend to automatically see you as superior, of higher quality, and treat you better seeking to impress you. I suspect this may be the REAL reason so many White looking and almost White looking people love hanging around AfroAmericans. I also suspect this is a major reason so many AfroAmericans in the past have been light skinned. It would be naive not to suspect that atleast SOME of these Caucasians didn't LIE about having Black ancestry simply to lower the guard of their AfroAmerican friends so that they could "fit in" with them easier. "OK...yall really need to stop hating. I'm not screwing a White man, cuz he ain't White. He told me BOTH of his parents are Black!"
  23. I'm all for Reparations, however I think they would be more effective if we first establish the proper foundation for them it to be received. First of all, we need SEVERAL FDIC insured AfroAmerican owned banks in order to keep the bulk of the money in. Second, how would the money be distributed? Would each individual get a check? Would the money be given to ORGANIZATIONS for THEM to distribute as they see fit? TRUE Reparations would actually REPAIR the damage that was done during the Great Western Maa'fa. It would allow us to re-form and practice OUR OWN family structures that were ripped apart during slavery and also be educated in a way designed to be best for us instead of the traditional Western way. We need a system that will improve ourselves, not teach us to become better at imitating Caucasians.
  24. "Oh Kunta Kinte! I see a lot of ships and strange looking people who I hear bad things about. I've heard that they are taking us to a far away land to make us work hard for free. I think we need to run! I think we need to get far far away!" "Stop! Just stop it man! You are being an alarmist. You need to stop believing in all of these baseless conspiracies and learn to relax and enjoy yourself. People are people, they are no different than us and we should seek to get along with them!" ((4 months later)) "Ahhhhh...... Why can't we all just get along?????"
  25. Troy Red Bull mixed with liquor is pretty common in bars I know, and that is a dangerous combination! Red Bull is a stimulant and alcohol is a depressant so using them together at the same time mixes up and confuses the nerve impluses and chemicals in the brain. But they do it in bars in order to mask the effects of alcohol and get you to buy more liquor to get more of an effect. You're drunk as hell, but don't feel drowsy and feel fine!
