  1. Troy Oh, that's Jared Taylor. I could have told you about him. He's one of the foremost spokespersons for the moder Caucasian racists today exactly BECAUSE of his well spoken, calm, and charismatic demeanor. Infact Tariq Nasheed interviews him many times and they even had a debate. You ask do I understand how a belief in race can be so destructive, but I ask you do you realize how e NOT believing and acknowledging the truth about race can be even MORE destructive? And I mean literally! Do you realize that in Latin America in places like Mexico, Dominican Republic, Bolivia, and other nations in South and Cental America the governments don't acknowledge the racial differences of it's citizens? All Mexicans are considered the same race despite their color. All Bolivians are considered the same despite their shade. You say this is marvelous and beautiful! The problem is Black Mexicans and Black Bolivians are HEAVILY discriminated against, beaten, jailed, and mistreated by the White and lighter skinned people of their nations and because "races" doesn't exists officially they can't even call it racism. The victims have no legal grounds in which to claim discrimination because these governments don't recognize them as being of a different race than their attacker. As for the first video..... Neely Fuller says that one of the biggest tools that White Supremists use is CONFUSION. As usual, the slick talking Jared Taylor is confusion RACE with NATIONALITY in order to confuse the audience. He talks about "American" as if it were a race and uses the terms "white" and "American" interchangeably in order to associate in the audiences' minds that American MEANS White. He also consistently says "America" and only rarely uses the correct term for this nation which is the "United States". Confusion has been weaponized today, and this is why a person must not only have an analytical mind in order to decipher and parce words in order to NOT be confused and deceived, but must also have a proper grasp of world history. As for your second video........... I said in another thread that Black folks were making rap videos and even had The Wire talking about how violent and ghetto Baltimore was; so they shouldn't be so surprised when Trump decides to back them up and bear witness to what THEY say about their own city. Negroes need to start using more common sense and think ahead before they start glorifying and taking pride in foolishness. Don't brag about how violent and crazy your community is and then get angry if a White man comes along and agrees with you! On a lighter note. Since squirrels are "rodents" too and plenty of them as well as beavers can be seen roaming around Washington D.C.....someone should inform Trump that those who lived in "rodent infested" cities themselves shouldn't throw stones at others, lol.
  2. Troy "Harm" many not be the right word. So I can't answer your question as posed. Sure you can, your answer was actually "no"...lol. Because nothing in this video harms children in any way. It may make ADULTS feel uncomfortable if they are around children when it comes on, much like frank sex talk makes parents uncomfortable when their children (of any age) are around....when that same talk wouldn't bother either if they were by themselves. And it all originates from people NOT having honest and frank talks about REAL sexuality to begin with, but instead hiding or ignoring it....suppressing it. And as is often the case, when something is suppressed it comes out with much force and discomfort from being kept into such an unnatural state. dunno man, I can only imagine what the average teenage boy wants to do after seeing this video I got news for you my brutha, the average teenage boy DOESN'T NEED videos like this to get him going....lol. When I was a teenager my erections WORK ME UP like an alarm clock.   Look, scantily clad women gyrating in this manner were around when I was a teen too, but you had to go to a strip club to see this stuff. Now come on man, you grew up in Harlem in the late 60s and 70s! Are you telling me all those pictures I saw of prostitutes on the street half naked and every day girls walking around in miniskirts, halter tops, sting tops, and hot pants, braless, ect....was just on television? You didn't see women walking around shaking what their mama gave them in REAL life? I know when I was a kid growing up in the Midwest in the 70s and 80s when it got hot women and girls were wearing clothes about as skimpy as what you see in that video.   Yes I remember doing the "Freak," but we were not filiming it and watching it constantly. Did you think the freak was appropriate? I know at least one guy that ejaculated while freaking   So while I don't disagree with anything you wrote Mel, I find it hard to believe you would host a party where your teenage daughters were dressed and dancing like that. Would you you let them "freak" or dance "rub-a-dub style" in the basement with the lights off? @Pioneer1 if you are familiar with those dance styles, same question 1. When I was coming up we were doing the same thing but we called it "grinding". White folks called it "dry humping". All it was was having as something as close to sex as you can with your clothes on. 2 . I did grind on a lot of females at parties and clubs and altough I don't remember "busting" in my pants, most of the time I DID feel a little "pre-cum" come out. I'll stop right there rather than get too graphic....lol. 3. Not only did we do this as teenagers but now that I think on it even back in elementary school at 7 and 8 we used to chase girls around getting out "squeeze" on all over them. We called it "hide and go get some". What you're seeing in the video as well as what you saw growing up is African youth behaving the way we NORMALLY behave when nature is allowed to take it's course. Before Caucasians came and influenced our thinking with their prudish anti-sexual religions and philosophies most African and Dravidian societies had "sex cults" where the entire community would come out to have sex with eachother in mass.....nothing to be ashamed of. You can read in the Bible where the Israelites (Caucasians) tried to stamp it out in the different lands they conquered. 4. To answer your question: No. As open minded as I am about the idea, no I probably wouldn't let my teenage daughter do it. Why not? Irrational male over protectiveness. But my decision is an emotional decision, not a logical one. You were a gymnast? I bet you were strong as hell! I've met a few male gymasts and them cats had muscles like wire cables.   Mel The dancing in this video is beautiful! And look at all those chocolate young women and men!~ They are beautiful! Not only do I agree with you but I absolutly LOVE seeing attractive and physically fit AfroAmericans be sensual and express their sexuality. I'd much rather see them do THIS than fighting and pulling guns on eachother. I'lll promote Black on Black love over Black on Black violence any day.   Alright.....you've been agreeing with me so much lately I'm getting suspicious! What are you up too....lol. BTW...when you say "Kim Coles" do you mean you went to school with Kim Coles the actress from Living Singles?
  3. Fired? A person get's "fired" from Subway for not making a sandwich correctly. How is just "firing" someone who just killed a man supposed to be seen as a victory? In Hong Kong the other day some police officers were caught on camera beating one of the protestors while he was in the hospital and already injuried. They weren't just "fired" but these officers were ARRESTED and put in JAIL for what they did. Fired............. Hmmm....I wonder will the Eric Garner incident be listed on his resume?
  4. Maurice Perhaps in both the UK and US many of the citizens of color aren't out in the streets challenging these right-wing facists because they're afraid they wouldn't be shown the same indifferent treatment to their activities that the Caucasian leftist activists are shown. While the Caucasian activist may march and scream and duke it out and get back in their groups and drive off.....the African or Indian activist probably fears he'll find himself in cuffs or brought up on charges of assault and inciting a riot. Queen X That doesn.t explain why crazy people should have military-style weapons. Those young men weren't "crazy" or insane. Evil....yes. Crazy....no. They knew EXACTLY what they were doing and why they did it and showed no remorse for their actions.
  5. Maurice I have suspicions about this "antifa" group as well. They are supposed to be this far left organization yet I don't see any AfroAmericans or Latinos as members nor do I see any of them in real life....only on television.
  6. Troy Oh don't get me wrong, I totally respect the right for whoever to get themselves all tatted up if they like. But I don't like this "monkey see monkey do" attitude of just because you see a lot of Caucasians doing something you feel an automatic urge to imitate them even without knowing the meaning. Infact, I make the same complaint about so many AfroAmericans wearing suits and ties as so-called "business" attire. Common sense should tell us that one's ability to do good business pertains to what's going on in their head and their ability to sell their ideas and effectively communicate.....and as long as their clean and neat whether or not they have a suit on should be irrelevant. But since the founders of this society (Caucasians) established that you should wear a suit and dress shoes to business (and church) many of our people just go along with it unquestioned. ....but that's another topic all together, lol. Listen, I'd lke you to think about my question carefully....... Exactly what (as in what scenes can you point to) in this video do you think would actually harm a child by them looking at it? There is no nudity. No one is even having sex. It's just a bunch of people dancing and shaking and showing a lot of skin (and tatoos). How could this be detrimental to a child's development or psyche?
  7. Mel Well if you had stuck with them a little longer and rose higher in the ranks of the party you would have eventually realized that not only are they a bunch of thugs and gangsters but at the very top BOTH the Republicans and Democrats are one and the same. The Left wing and Right wing are just different side of the same bird of prey. Republicans and Democrats are just components of a political game controlled by the same group. As far as the financial aspect of Conservatism......... I can agree with it on a local and state level because these regions can't "make" their own money but must get it from other sources; but I don't by fiscal conservatism at all on the federal level because this nation can literally "make-up" and print all of the money it wants and add as much value to it as needed to offset inflation. And this is exactly what the U.S. has been doing since WWII. So there is no need for America to be financially conservative at the federal level.
  8. Sex sells.... Always has Always will But let's put this video in it's proper perspective........ This video is MILD. It's not even worth a PG rating as far as I'm concerned. All it is is a bunch of AfroAmerican youth dancing and girating around in scant clothing. There is NO SEX being had, and NO NUDITY seen. Like you I watched the entire video also, expecting to see some nudity or sex....lol...and didn't. While my concern isn't the exact opposite of yours, it may be considered a bit diagonal or kitty-corner from it. My concern is that this society is becoming TOO "anti-sex" because they are mistaking tasteless juvenile girating like what you see in that video.....for ACTUAL SEX. Because it's not. You can see more skin and sensuality at the beach. I await the day where you'll actually see COMPLETELY NAKED women (especially older women for a change) not just dancing around but actually HAVING REAL SEX in music videos as well as in movies and this be a normalized thing. On a side note, I noticed that almost all of the men in that video had tatoos. I do have a problem with so many of our people getting tatoos over their bodies. People of color don't need tatoos....they already have color in their skin.
  9. A lot of AfroAmericans are hard on Jay-Z for not going in hard enough on White Supremacy given his wealth and status but Jay-Z isn't a Civil Rights leader nor does he profess to be one. He's an entertainer and he makes his money making people happy, not pissing them off....which often happens when you start delving subjects of controversy like politics. Truth be told, like most rappers of the 90s Jay-Z got rich rapping about killing other AfroAmerican men, selling dope, abusing women, and engaging in other negative anti-social endeavors. Should we really EXPECT anything positive from him?
  10. I think they're putting more than just lead in the water but other toxins too. Much of this is used to control the behavior of the AfroAmerican population but when you have AfroAmericans in positions of power like police, mayors, and even the President (Obama) who KNOW about this and do absolutely NOTHING about it.....what can you say? If this were a WHITE city and they found this out, the White judges and cops would have whoever was in charge of the municipal water supply in cuffs and up on charges within a week. They wouldn't wait on the fed or someone else to do it....they would take care of it themselves. But you have some Black officials standing around in suits and ties scratching their heads over "what to do" when their cities are poisoned. The older I get the more I realize how just and correct this Universe actually is and how people often get just what they deserve. You KNOW the water is poisioned...but you still drink it and do nothing about it. You KNOW drugs are put into your community to destroy you....but you still use and sell them. You KNOW guns are put into your community to destroy you....but you still use them. Since childhood I wondered why Black people had to go through what they did, but when I observe the BEHAVIOR of a lot of our people even when we have the opportunity and power to do better and help ourselves......often times the reasons our people are in the conditions they are in make much more sense.
  11. Maurice Id agree with you that today that there are Brit artists imitating the sounds made by Afro Americans. I'm really trying not to be biased here but I truly believe that the previous artists I mentioned were doing it for love. Yes, they made loads of cash in the process but I think this was mainly due to the original songs they eventually recorded. Ofcourse. Nodoubt they were doing it for love! But love of the ART....not love of the ARTIST. So if they can find a way to seperate the ART (that they and their fans love so much) from the BLACK ARTISTS (that many of their fans despise and see as inferior) they can have their cake and eat it too. Or better yet, if they can claim this art as THEIR OWN.....this inflation of their egos is an added bonus. Ofcourse in the context of 2019 both you and I can listen to Joss Stone or Adele understand how an argument can be made that their style is basically a copy of the urban style of AfroAmericans.....but what about 2 or 3 generations from now? By that time the context would have changed and all you would have is the artists. It's the same with the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Today we see these groups as wonderfully talented groups with the creativity to rock the world, very little is mentioned of the Chuck Berrys and Little Richards and Sly and the Family Stones that these groups "borrowed" much of their styles from. You see.... Putting a Caucasian face on such great and soul-stiring music helps to maintain the idea of White Supremacy in society because it tells society that such wonderful and alluring music HAD to have been produced by the "superior" people. It would be illogical and fly in the face of White Supremacy that those deemed "inferior" could or would make superior music.
  12. LD Virtue How would you explain our black Republican. There are Republicans of all cultures. How do we justify there decision, It's funny you should ask that because I actually know some AfroAmerican Republicans personally and for the past year or so they've been so embarassed at the antics that's been going on in Washington that the last thing they want to do is talk politics with me....lol. As Troy pointed out much of it has to do with financial reasons, however in my personal observations besides the AfroAmerican business owners who favor the lower taxes and deregulations the Republican party promotes, there are also 2 major reasons why AfroAmericans join the Republican party: 1. Self hatred. You'd be suprised at how many AfroAmericans actually HATE other AfroAmericans and wish they can join Caucasian racists in harming and eliminating them. Often times this hatred stems from how they were treated in childhood by other AfroAmericans. They decide to get "even" as adults. But the self-hatred is REAL and not just an exaggeration or cliche. 2. Confusion over conservative principles. Up until recently most AfroAmericans were SOCIALLY conservative. They were against abortions, against homosexuality, had strong family values, and were very religious. The more the Democrats moved away from these principles the more AfroAmericans lost faith in the Democratic Party and many turned to the Republican party because of their moral RHETORIC (which most really don't believe in) which tickled the ear of the average Jesus loving AfroAmerican who believed Republicans were the party of values and morals. What's happening today is as this generation of AfroAmerican youth become more socially liberal they aren't as attracted to...thus aren't willing to fall for....the conservative/religious RHETORIC (which they really don't believe in) of the Republican party.
  13. Delano and see what Eminem and other rappers say. Lol....after I told you that I see Eminem as a thief and a liar, why would you think I would even care about what he has to say? Maurice Do you really believe that all pop music STOLE from Afro American music? Loads of Brit bands in the 60s were very deeply influenced by RnB and covered many tunes . I'm sure there was no intention to rob. How can you be so "sure" there was no intention to rob or steal the music and claim credit for it? You talk about the Beatles and other bands of the past but TODAY as we speak British artists like Joss Stone, Adele, and Ed Sheeran have attained fortunes and world fame basically IMITATING the sound and cadence of AfroAmericans in their music. How can people born and raised in England sound so much like inner-city AfroAmericans if they weren't intentionally trying to imitate them? It's a clear case of intellectual theft.
  14. Chev You don't? Yes, I believe them... maybe not pres. Trump, he says too much to know what to believe coming from him, but the others, yes, I do! I do believe that these Republicans saying thiese acts of terrorism is racist-- in that they are sincere. Why would you not trust Trump yet trust the sincerity of his fellow Republicans? They are ALL liars and racists; if not, they wouldn't have joined the Republican party to begin with. Even the kids at the Florida highschool that was shot up a couple years ago no longer believe the lying words that come out of these politicians' mouths and told them their "thoughts and prayers" ain't worth a damn. It's the love and trust so many AfroAmericans continue to have of deceptive and racist Caucasians that ALLOW them to carry out the domestic terrorist acts they commit. Because you only distrust them AFTER they have done something horrible instead of not trusting them in the first place before they can get a chance to. No way! This is a conditioning, and a choice that is being made. This, IMO is not GENETIC at all. It is not apart of any RACIAL MEMORY and it is not born in them. This is all taught and conditioning. If their racism is all conditioning and a result of being taught....then WHO started it? Who taught the first group of Caucasians to be racist and see themselves as superior to all the other people of color in their environment? For nearly 4,000 years we've seen them commit the same theft, murder, and enslavement whether it's with Native Americans, Africans, or Asians. If it's not part of their genetic make-up and they "learned" it from somewhere....where/who?
  15. Maurice The worlds gone mad. "gone"????? What is happening today that hasn't BEEN happening for thousands of years prior? In what era or age have humans NOT seen mass killings by the hundreds and thousands? This is nothing new. The methods and weapons used for mass murder may differ from one era to the next but the theme is pretty much the same: -People...mostly young men.....who feel frustrated and angry at their lot in life either join a gang, the military, or if their too crazy to get along with other people become lone wolves and set out to make as many other human beings feel their pain as much as they possibly can.
  16. Have you seen non Black people pull off African or even Afro American clothing. Too me, Caucasians can get away with dressing in the "typical" AfroAmerican style but they look funny as hell dressing in traditional African clothing. The colors and patterns are often too bright and clashes with their skin. Does Wesley Snipes seem more Black than Denzel Washington. Meek Mill versus Drake. Wesley Snipes is certainly darker than Denzel and some would consider his facial features more African, but for most intents and purposes I wouldn't consider Wesley "Blacker" than Denzel. Blacker than Will Smith...lol....but not Denzel. As far as Drake and Mill.....Drake is a mulatto while both of Mill's parents are AfroAmerican. I am not certain where I would put Eminem. He doesn't try and sound black but he loves hip hop in a way that Jay Z doesn't. Eminem loves hip hop Jay Z loves hustling. In. my opinion You may not know where to put Slim Shitty but I know where to put him....in the same box with Elvis Presley and the rest of those in the popular music industry who are guilty of stealing AfroAmerican music styles and claiming it as their own. He's a thief AND a liar. For one things he's NOT from Detroit. He's from Kansas City Kansas and he only moved to the SUBURBS of Detroit at 12 or 13 but never grew up in the city itself. His entire persona has been fabricated and it was done so with two purposes in mind: 1. To help erase the image of Detroit as a "Black" city and make it seem more Caucasian friendly for gentrification. 2. To put a White face on Hiphop so that the global audience will not be so attracted to AfroAmerican men who originated it. Infact the entire "Pop" music genre was developed to STEAL AfroAmerican music and styles and attribute it to Caucasian artists.
  17. Mel Oops...lol....I think you may have made a mistake and left out an important word in your statement. You said: But I think what you MEANT to say was: Because in America, it's not Asian or Africa or Native American men making anti-abortion laws and playing legal games with women's reproductive rights.....it's almost ALL Caucasian men mostly in the Republican party. We must be very specific when we cast blame and don't inclue ALL men in what racist conservative men have crafted.     Troy Outside of the major urban centers, we have a gun culture here which I assumed was inherited from you guys :-) Are guns difficult to obtain in the UK or do people simply not worship them as they do here? I know you were joking with Maurice but it should be pointed out that the Englishmen who founded the United States primarily came from the lower classes. The early colonies were heavily populated by the poverty stricken, destitute, and mentally ill as well as criminals and cast aways. The fact that the most violent and criminal minded of British culture founded the United States explain a lot about why this current society is so gun-crazy and violent as compared to England. It's the same with Australia. Australia was founded and populated by the same type of criminals and destitutes who populated the early U.S. But New Zealand was established by the UPPER CLASSES of England! And to this very day you still can see a clear difference between Australian and New Zealander culture. Even the way they talk is different.
  18. Hello and welcome to the site. I'm curious...... Have you been initiated in or do you practice the IFA belief system of West Africa?
  19. Mel I agree! (damn!)     Lol....and that's why I say we should crown you as new 1st Lady of AALBC! Another problem with Swahili is it's heavily influenced by Arabic since it was helped put together by them for the purposes of trading between various indigenous groups. Infact, even if you look at the term for Kwanzaa's 7 principles...Ngooso Saba....that word "saba" isn't African but actually Arabic or atleast Semitic in origin. Maulana Karinga put it together but the name "Maulana" is an Arabic name as well! And the candle lighting reminds me of Hannukah. But I still give propers to Karinga for trying to trying to give us somewhat of a culture with our own holidays and festive rituals. It is our language that dictates our culture. Ofcourse. Language and words set the framework of the mind. That's why learning a new languages often FORCES a person to think from an entirely different perspective and often times changes their orientation on life. I remember some years ago when I was working in a restaurant and was picking up a little Espanol from some of my co-workers I would learn the words "I am hungry" in Espanol and say that exactly but it made no sense to them. In their culture they don't say "I AM hungry" instead they say "I HAVE hunger". And when I thought about it, it made more sense because it's silly to say you ARE hungry as if you're calling yourself "hungry" when it's actually a feeling you have. One of the problems with us attempting to get our own language is we would have to practically invent it from scratch because there is no single dominant West African ethnic group that we could legitimately latch on too. Plus being here in the West, I believe most West African languages are too limited in their vocabulary for us to adopt without being FORCED to use English or Spanish words to compensate. Looks like Black linguistic scholars have quite a project waiting for them if they want it.....lol. It may take decades to outline and launch a viable and unique AfroAmerican language. Most of the time, without even noticing it -we reinforced the dominate culture - because we only know one language -american english And the fact that most of us only only know American English also has negative financial repercussions. If you notice, most of the people of color who are financially successful in the United States whether they are Koreans, Chinese, Nigerians, Haitians, Cubans, Ethiopians, ect......they all speak languages OTHER than just English. Like I said earlier, speaking more than one language FORCES your brain to think in different modes but it ALSO allows you to talk and plan business and other economic moves amongst eachother without worrying about White people eave's dropping in and stealing your ideas or trying to thwart your business plans. If you notice out in public, AfroAmericans can be talking and it doesn't bother them at all but Caucasians tend to get ANGRY and nervous as hell when Africans and other people of color start speaking in a foreign language around them! They start looking around, sighing, rolling their eyes, ect......because they can't figure out what those people are up to, lol.
  20. FAS White Republicans are decreeing the shootings as racist, calling for an end to white supremacy. Even Trump is condemning white supremacy in the wake of the latest shootings. Lol....and you seriously believe them? There is no comparison between black gangbangers shooting AT each other and managing to hit one or two, and white SANE criminal white supremacists slaughtering hundreds of strangers, and in the first 8 months of this year alone, wounding over 2,000 Ofcourse not. Because these SANE White racists have the good sense to KNOW what they're doing while most of the Black gangstas usually don't. Whether it comes to murder, slavery, colonialism, or domestic terrorism......Caucasians KNOW who their enemies are and tend to move on them in a logical manner. Exactly why these silly negroes in the hood are busting and banging on eachother like rats fighting over rotten cheese is still a great unknown to most people including themselves. Almost running out of excuses as to why so many of our people behave the irrational way they do. Troy Babies will still get aborted, it will just go underground and become messier and more dangerous. Especially for women of color who can't afford to pay for the GOOD underground medics who will still be performing the procedures for the well to do.     Ld Virtue Welcome to the site. These are young white children, they where hardly men, the hate they displayed was taught and I blame their parents. I'm not an anthropologist but there are some who believe that the hate these young Caucasian males displayed was GENETIC or part of their RACIAL MEMORY. In other words, they don't have to be TAUGHT to hate and want to kill people of color it's IN THEM already and it was BORN in them. If anything, they have to be taught and constantly vigorously taught NOT to hate people who are different than them. What makes a brother kill his sister, Have you ever heard of so-called "honor killings"? It's a tradition well established in Caucasian history where men kill their own female family members for so-called "shaming" the family through sexual misdeeds. For many Caucasian males, the ultimate shame for a Caucasian woman (mother, sister, daughter) is dating and having sex with a male of color. If you look at the place he chose to shoot up, it was a club where interracial dating occured.
  21. I didn't watch it either. I refused to. It's not like I was avoiding it to make a statement, but no one on that stage was energizing enough to even spend time listening to.
  22. This is going to sound like a conservative talking point, but as long as AfroAmericans are butchering eachother in the ghettoes of America it's hard to point the finger at what White males are doing even though it's happening more frequently. In Chicago alone there's a "mass shooting" several times a week. Let's not throw in what's happening in Detroit, D.C., St. Louis, and other urban communities.
  23. Chev & FAS Well.............. I was only speaking based from what I've observed personally. But I can't tell Black women or anyone else how THEY feel about themselves; so if you two say that AfroAmerican girls and women have high self esteem and feel better about themselves and their bodies than other women do, who am I to argue against it.
  24. Lol....... Actually I added that on 5 minutes after my initial post so that it WOULDN'T sound like I was coming right after you to directly contradict you! In reality, I don't think our two posts are incongruent. Your post focused on the motives of Trump's statements. .....that he just talks a lot of smack to get people riled up and push their buttons in order to manipulate them. And I agree with this assessment. My post focus is on the element of TRUTH in his statements. If there were no truth in what he's saying he wouldn't be nearly as effective at setting people off. My point is that instead of getting upset and offended when whoever....racist or just objective observers.....points out our problems, if we as African people world wide would focus on actually FIXING our problems, we would be much better off. But it starts with the AfroAmerican mayors, judges, representatives, and police officers who are actually incharge of running most of this "chocolate cities" doing what THEY are supposed to do instead of waiting on "good white folk" to come down and be nice to them and clean up their communities for them. History has shown that that the only time Caucasians are willing to come into AfroAmerican communities and help them clean up these problems is when they are ready to CLEAN OUT the Black population and gentrify the place.
  25. Like Troy said, much of what Trump does is to get an emotional response and....as they say in England "wind up" people and get them all animated for his enjoyment. But the fact is much of Baltimore IS a slum, just like much of Detroit and St. Louis is slum and wasteland. One of the most popular television shows on HBO....The Wire....focused on the madness going on in Baltimore and people loved it. Well after years of glorifying the violent ghetto life of Black pepole in B-more, why get all uptight and shit a brick when Trump agrees? Like it or not, a lot of what Trump says has an ELEMENT of truth in it: -There ARE too many illegal immigrants flooding into the nation. My question is why do Trump and the Republicans....the same people BRINGING THEM IN....have to be the ones who speak on against this when AfroAmericans are the ones who are being directly impacted from this flood of illegal cheap labor? -And while I wouldn't call them "shitholes" many if not most subsaharan African nations ARE poorly ran and certainly aren't the most ideal places to live which is why so many Africans risk drowning just to cross the Meditteranian sea to get to Europe. Most of them are young men, who don't mind abandoning their families to poverty and corruption just ot flock to Europe, hopefully find themselves a European woman to marry and gain citizenship, and leave their troubles behind them......as opposed to staying in their nation and fighting to free it from corruption and poverty. Ofcourse we don't like it when racist Caucasians say these things, but I'm convinced that one of the main reason most AfroAmerican aren't as animated and hostile at they SHOULD be and out in the streets marching against Trump's rhetoric is because they know deep down he has some good points. Again, they don't agree with his MOTIVES but many do agree with his OBSERVATIONS.
