Troy I hear what you're saying..... YOU may ignore TMZ and a lot of these gossip celebrity venues....and so do I. I think it's a lot of hype and foolishness. However you must understand that a LARGE percentage of our people do engage in these type of tabloid outlets. Some follow that silliness because of low intelligence as I talk about often and they simply aren't smart enough to discern facts and truth from entertainment; others do it because of IMMATURITY because they aren't old enough or have enough life experience to realize REAL news from sensationalism. But regardless of the REASONS they believe in this nonsense....many of them DO believe in it and it affects how they think and behave so WE as older men and women in the community who should KNOW better have a measure of responsibility to protect them from being taken advantage of. So you have to keep up with it and KNOW it to a certain degree in order to know how to properly point it out. Our women have an ESPECIALLY fond attraction to a lot of this crap because most women are attracted to and interested in relationship issues. Look at most of subjects of the books of your female authors! The vast majority of them are about relationship good or bad! Men are talking about cars, airplanes, war, fighting, gangsterism, ect...... But most of the women are talking about relationship issues because that's THEIR interests. It's just in their nature to be that way so in order to protect our women from being manipulated and taken advantage of we need to point out to them the problems with that crap being promoted.

???? Perhaps I'm not properly comprehending the article or how it relates to what you're saying because NONE of this is reflected in the article you posted: http://riseupnewark.com/earl-harris/ That entire article was about some dude named "Earl Harris" and his political career, the name "Coggins" isn't even mentioned.

You said "his" campaign manager as if you were talking about Donald Trump.....lol. But if I read the article correctly Earl Harris STARTED off as a Republican but then CHANGED to being a Democrat for the bulk of his career. This is when your father was supporting him; as a Democrat not as a Republican. .....if I'm wrong perhaps you can point out the mistake.

Troy I don't think "intelligent AfroAmericans," watch platforms that publish "news" like that. I wish more people would do the same. We'd all be better off. Perhaps you're right, but the story was reported all over TMZ also....which a lot of AfroAmericans of various social status' watch. Especially AfroAmerican women. Regardless of their level of intelligence, they are being INFLUENCED by stories like this. It affects how young AfroAmerican men and women relate to eachother. I don't even know who Tory Lanz and Megan Thee Stallion are. I assume the are musicians, but their names sound like porn stars. Megan was the OTHER young lady who did that W.A.P. video with Cardi B that you posted. Remember there were 2 women in it. Megan is almost as popular as Cardi, which is why I believe she is being used to promote this dysfunctional relationship scenario. Remember how they used Ice Cube and other rappers to promote St Ide's liquor and Billy D. Williams to promote Colt 45? They use popular entertainers to promote certain behaviors. Daniel Ben Shockley was right about the less productive out producing the more cultured Blacks. Ben Shockley was a White Supremacist pseudo-scientist who told HALF truths. Like most White Supremacists, he'll point to the PROBLEMS of the AfroAmerican community but he won't tell you the ultimate CAUSE of those problems. For example he'll point out the low test scores of AfroAmerican children without pointing out the fact that most of the schools they go to have been DEFUNDED and had half of their ciriculum stripped for the past 40 years. A common way to deceive people is by telling them only PART of the truth while keeping very vital bits of facts and information hidden from them so that they will arrive at the WRONG conclusion. A White man gets into a Black man's face calling him all types of racist names and THEN starts spitting on him and pushing him. The Black man gets fed up and knocks the man the hell out. But the video shown on the news is ONLY the part of the Black man hitting the White man....not the part that led up to it....leading you to believe some "thug" assaulted an innocent citizen. "My gaawwd...those brutal savages! Lock them ALL up!"

Troy What type of environment do you live in where you feel you have to carry a gun for self defense? I hope you can move to a safer neighborhood. Either that or stop attending so many Trump rallies.....lol.

Troy I don't know if ALL Americans have been indoctrinated. Remember, some of them are the ones who are DOING the indoctrinating...lol. To be clear, are you equating the acquisition of great wealth, through evil deeds, with a high level of intelligence? I wouldn't "equate" it with high intelligence because high intelligence is expressed in different ways, but I would say that starting off with modest means and acquiring great wealth (through evil OR good deeds) in this society is usually a SIGN of high intelligence. How many SELF-MADE millionaires have you met that are stupid? Does this mean that the victims of these evil wealth creators are less intelligent? Not necessarily; however it's a SIGN that they are. Because if they were JUST AS intelligent as those who vicitimized them they wouldn't have allowed themselves to be victimized in the first place. What are the chances that someone with Down Syndrome will be able to sucker you into a financial scheme or trick you out of your savings? If you are victimized one or two times.....that's one thing. But if you are ALWAYS being victimized and EVERBODY who comes your way can trick you, enslave you, colonize you, and put you into a position where you're always sweating and crying and fighting to break free.....we might have to question YOUR intelligence and why everybody is constantly ABLE to take advantage of you over and over again.

Troy it is simple: either fox news is an "excellent source" or it isn't. It can be both. So which is it? Not only can it be both.....it is! -It usually ISN'T an excellent source for facts. -It sometimes IS an excellent source to point to for those who ONLY believe in Fox News. Again, if a person you're dealing with ONLY believes in Fox News and doesn't believe in any other news network....then sometimes Fox would be an excellent source to quote from to prove A PARTICULAR POINT because they won't accept your information if it came from elsewhere. I understand clearly what point you're trying to make. That it's not a credible source period, and that it shouldn't be legitimized at all -plain and simple. But that's like telling little children that there is no Santa Claus and they should stop expecting presents for Christmas -plain and simple. It SOUNDS much easier to do than it really is......lol.

Dan It's great to honor your ancestors, but my question remains unanswered by you..... Do you think HE would approve of your current support for Trump and the Republican party?

Troy Lol @ "men of their time". The Nation of Islam teaches that "the devil is the devil regardless as to place or time". Meaning, it doesn't matter what country a devil is born in, what language a devil speaks, what type of clothes he costumes himself in, or what religion he CLAIMS to practice...he's still a devil because that is the SPECIES he belongs to. Now..... To make it clear I AM NOT calling Caucasians "devils" (whether I believe it or not, I'm not calling them that on this site). But it must be understood that Caucasian men are Caucasian men REGARDLESS of their age, economic status, or what era they grew up in. Most of them have the SAME mentality. Look at the 17 year old Killer Kyle Rittenhouse who armed himself and shot up a bunch of people in Kenosha in the name of a right-wing racist agenda. Or the 19 year old racist murderer Dylan Roof who shot up all those AfroAmericans in the South Carolina church. It's not a matter of age or era but the BRAIN of the Caucasian male that makes him think and act the way he does. His desire to DOMINATE and RULE over you by any and all means is found in ALL ages and economic statuses. Some are better at covering it up and hiding it than others, but most still have it. UNDERSTANDING and then ACCEPTING this....not denying it or trying to figure out ways argue against it because it doesn't "sound right" to you....is the KEY to humanity TRULY getting along with eachother. Just as understanding and accepting that a pit-bull is dangerous and should be kept in the backyard and not in the bedroom helps BOTH of you get along better, lol.

Dan Besides my father wasn’t the only activist. I am still an activist. From what you've shared, you seem to be in active OPPOSITION to the anti-Capitalist ant-exploitation cause that your father was actually fighting for. Presuming that he's no longer with us, do you think HE would have approved of your political and economic positions?

Troy I don't think he would have either. He'd probably be seen with her for some sort of charitable event or something like that, but not for something as important as an interview. I've been saying over and over again that Biden is JUST AS racist as Trump, he just tries to hide it more. I shared the video because I wanted to show where we have come in America. A "former" stripper interviews the Democratic nominee for president who is trying to unseat a mediocre reality TV star. I'm not sure exactly where we ARE but I do believe we are GOING IN THE DIRECTION we need to, because politics in the United States is finally being exposed for the trick and game it always was.

Troy Colonizers are not "smart" but they have been evil as hell. Say what you will about their morals but they HAD to be smart as hell too in order to conquer and rule over entire lands and groups of peoples who outnumbered them by the millions and billions, and maintain that domination for CENTURIES. In the history of the world, the evil white racist who has amassed wealth is a flash in the pan. Don't be too sure of this. History is STILL being written, because Caucasians are STILL ruling. Now if 10 or 15 years from now they are NO LONGER ruling and we now have a SET time frame (say from 1400-2025) to establish their time of rulership as compared to the rest of world history...perhaps you're correct. But Caucasians rulership hasn't been "ended" yet in order to properly make that assessment. Have you been a victim of a crime? Was the perpetrator an evil white racist? Yes, thanks for asking! I was a victim of the kidnapping, exploitation, and indoctrination started by the White Supremacists over 500 years ago. And so are you.

Daniel Blacks learning and going to gun ranges will serve to keep them out of gangs. I support AfroAmericans learning how to practice good gun safety but that's a bit of a reach, don't you think? One has little to do with the other. If a kid is living in a gang infested neighborhood and is going to join a gang.....learning how to shoot will only HELP him become better at shot and kill people more efficiently. Again, one has little to do with the other.

It depends on WHO I'm talking to...... If I'm talking to YOU for example, then perhaps NO references to Fox News what-so-ever would be considered justifiable. However if I'm out in Tulsa....like I said every establishment I went into had Fox News blaring on the television-LOL....talking to a person who ONLY trusts Fox News. If they didn't believe me and wanted evidence that Trump actually said or did something then Fox would be an EXCELLENT source for me to reference for THAT particular person. Sometimes it's best to reach people where they are. Although I don't believe in the Bible, you'll see me often times USING it as a reference in conversation. Why? Usually because the person I'm talking to DOES believe in it and so since THEY believe in it I'll point out a scripture in it for a particular point.

Caucasian children going to gun ranges help them gain more experience hunting down and targeting YOU. If you are silly enough to "cheer" that on....I don't know what to say. It's like the Bugs Bunny cheering on Elmer Fudd.

Troy This nonsense isn't even newsworthy ... is it? It depends on the motivation behind it. One of the biggest problems of our people as AfroAmericans...infact Africans world wide...is that most of us don't like asking WHY. White folks LOVE to ask "why". Why is this? Why is that? Why are they reporting on this in the media? Why are they moving into our neighborhood? Negroes don't ask "why"..... Because Negroes DON'T CARE why...lol. Until the reason for the "why" ends up HARMING them and their children for many years to come. And THEN they begin to cry and lament and wonder "why" it happened to them. I'm sure when they first introduced CRACK into the Black community most of our people saw folks running up and down the street acting crazy and talking with their eyes all stretched out but most of them didn't ask WHY. They thought it was funny, not news worth, and laughed it off or ignored it until it became a major disaster. That wouldn't have happened among Caucasians because they want to know WHY too much. They would have asked themselves WHY are people acting so crazy and they would have gotten to the bottom of it like they're doing with the heroin epidemic. Why am I saying all of this? My point is we as AfroAmerican need to stop looking at things merely on a surface level and start being more CURIOUS about what's happening in our community. We need to ask WHY certain news stories and behavior are being introduced to and promoted among us and what purpose does it serve to do so. I mentioned before that this story between Tory Lanz and Megan Thee Stallion was FAKE and that he didn't actually shoot her...as they claim. Intelligent AfroAmericans would want to know WHY this story was being promulgated in the first place and spread around the community. An intelligent people wouldn't just dismiss it and ignore it and move on to smoking some weed while laying on the couch playing on Instagram....lol....they would try to get to the bottom of it to see if something more NEFARIOUS may be happening with this story.

Troy If you truly feel that they lack credibility and are untrustworthy why refer to them at all? It's a good illustration of how his behavior is so egregious that even one of his biggest cheerleaders had to turn against him on this one. Daniel He was targeting me. “Trump Supporters Blindly Believe Fox” trope. Actually, I was talking to Troy when I brought up Fox News' reporting.

Dee Wasn't trying to preach to you. I'm not sure how it came across.....LOL. @Pioneer1 'But I see less DARK SKINNED Black children in America than I did when I was a kid...' This is so true and unfortunate. It comes from self hatred. When people hate themselves they have a sub-conscious desire to END their lineage and cut off their genetics from being reproduced. So they will even STOP having children or they will seek to have children with those who DO NOT look like them in order to dilute their own genes. I'm sure you've heard as I have growing up children and teenagers talk about they want a "pretty baby" with light skin and light eyes and "good hair". And many will set out to achieve this by having sex with ANYONE they think will produce such a baby....whether they actually love the person they're sleeping with or not. They are doing it...not out of love....but for genetic suicidal purposes and self hatred of thier own kind. Integration has allowed the self-hatred that already existed among many of our people for centuries but they weren't able to freely express it...to FREELY EXPRESS itself in the 70s and 80s when they started sleeping with and having babies with as many non-Africans as they possibly could to "whiten up" their children and eliminate their own African genes. Look at the NBA and how many of the players are mixed compared to 30 years ago. Troy Dude you posted the photos of our soul Brother Homer and Jean. The were Black you said they were white. Seems like race is based upon what you say it is. I posted the photos of 2 men with pale skins, thin straight hair, thin noses, and thin lips. I didn't have to CALL them "white". All you would have to do is look at the pictures of those 2 men and if no one TOLD you they were "Black" you wouldn't have assumed it. Your reasoning is no different than theirs The White Supremacists are among the most powerful and smartest human beings on this planet. They tend to think in logical and efficient manners instead of constantly being tricked and lied and manipulated and taken advantage of. They RUN the world, and if you can find me another group of human beings smarter and more powerful PLEASE introduce me to them. So to say that my reasoning is the same as theirs COULD actually be taken as a COMPLIMENT...lol. Problem is, as smart and powerful as they are the White Supremacists are EVIL have a lot of bad Karma and have a very terrible fate awaiting them.

Daniel I called him up. You still don’t know me. But that’s ok. That’s why I am reintroducing myself. He can obviously speak for himself, but I think Troy's question ISN'T so much how you were able to get into contact with Professor Smalls recently, but how you came to know him in the first place. I know he was pretty active in the New York/New Jersey area in the late 60s and 70s so perhaps your activist father probably knew him also.

It depends on the PURPOSE of teaching them. I don't think you should be teaching children under 12 how to handle guns. They may be able to handle the MECHANICS of guns and shooting, but aren't old enough to understand the consequences of death and injury to themselves and others. Again, you live in a Caucasian based culture where the values are PRO-violence and ANTI-sex. The same so-called "Conservative" Caucasians will jump up and down and scream over girls in hot-pants doing suggestive dances but clap and cheer if those same girls strapped up pistols to their waists, went to a rifle range, and started a shooting gallery.

Daniel I admit that my experiences with people are LIMITED. I haven't met everyone or seen everything. I'm just speaking on the people I'VE met and the things I'VE witnessed my decades of living on this planet. I'm not from "the streets" but I have had long relationships with people who are the streets whether it's with working with them, them being in my family, living in Detroit, and even being involved with women from ghetto backgrounds. I'm telling you that in decades and decades of living on this planet I PERSONALLY don't know anyone who told me that THEY shot or stabbed (not "cut"....lol) someone or was shot or stabbed BY someone that they are STILL in a relationship with! Maybe they just were too embarrassed or ashamed to tell me, I'm not sure. But I go by what I've OBSERVED.....not by RUMORS or what I've seen on TELEVISION or in the movies. My purpose for saying this isn't to say that it doesn't happen AT ALL....because I know there are cases of it. My point is that it doesn't happen very much. Infact I'd say it's quite RARE, even in abusive relationships.

Oh, I'm VERY interested in it. I actually ENGAGE in quite a bit of it. Infact...... It was my CRITICAL THINKING of and LOGICAL examination over your post that made me wonder what the hell it had to do with the conversation...lol. Imagine three men in suits and ties standing around sipping champagne discussing the impact Covid 19 has on the economy....and all of a sudden out of the blue a fourth one stumbles up to them half drunk with his finger raised in the air rambling on about Aristotle and logical thinking. "Hey! Logic resides in philophilophee And magic is in house of mathematics Ahh haaaahh.....critical"

Lol @ the reaction of the Sistaz in the audience!!!! They're like, "Oh HELLLLLLL NAWWW!" Those girls dancing look to be clearly under 18 and it's not something I would endorse. The question I have is why is it that so much of society outraged at a bunch of teenaged girls doing sexually suggestive dances but aren't JUST AS IF NOT MORE outraged at videos of children even younger than them going to the gun range and learning how to shoot pistols and assault rifles! Is learning how to be sexually provocative worse than learning how to take another human's life? Mary Olohan (author of the tweet) must be another right-wing Conservative hypocrite. I say that because being the racists they are they love using AfroAmerican based music or behavior as examples when making their arguments of cultural degeneracy. She also uses the term "our culture". To understand exactly what CULTURE she and other Conseravatives are talking about you must understand the basic psyche of the Caucasian mind. When Caucasian Conservatives talk about "our culture" and how "our culture" is declining, they aren't talking about morality or even religion. They mean just what they say...THEIR culture! THEIR cultural values include racism, violence, and anti-sexuality. If anyone is interested I'd be glad to go into deeper details as to why this is, or I can just leave it here.

Daniel this type of scenario happens often. I knew a girl who kept stabbing her sugadaddy who was married and they kept getting back together. That's interesting....... I admit that I'm not the most experienced man on the planet but I don't recall KNOWING anyone involved in THIS TYPE of abusive relationship. I've known quite a few people involved in ABUSIVE relationships where the lover is violent and physically assaults them from time to time....yes. But actually SHOOT or STAB them and they turn around and get back together....no. Now I've heard STORIES of it; but don't know anyone personally who has admitted to me that this is what they are in. You might be able to hide getting slapped or punched but being shot or stabbed is pretty serious and you ain't covering that up and going to work the next day or playing it off. And the police almost always get involved because the injury is so serious. Anybody can CLAIM this or that happened (especially in Hollywood) but based on my observations..... Even when it comes to the most physically abusive relationships, shooting or stabbing someone ENDS that relationship (no apologizing and returning to eachother) because either: 1. The victim dies of their injuries 2. The offender gets arrested and locked up 3. The offender disappears as a fugitive 4. The offender is killed through retribution So after such a serious incident they can't even get back together even if they WANTED to. Which makes me question the validity of this entire story. If Tory shot a U.S. citizen the dude would STILL be locked up and Megan wouldn't be running around singing and doing videos. I'll keep it 100%..... Just like the Gangsta-rappers, I think these two are being PAID to promote violence and relationship dysfunction in the AfroAmerican community. Make it look "cool".

Daniel It bruises your reputation and credibility. Lol.....since when was my repuation and credibility with YOU, sound in the first place? Troy My mentioning Fox News' acknowledgement of Trump's words was NOT for their credibility as a trustworthy new source. It's because they are well known to be Trump's biggest cheerleader in the mainstream media and for even THEM to acknowlege and do reports on his disrespectful statements says a lot! You question whether or not these multiple reports of Trump's utter contempt for U.S. soldier are actually legitimate or just more anti-Trump "media bias"......as if he doesn't have a well known PATTERN of making outrageous statements and disrespect of those he feels are "less than" him.
