The problem is..... According to your beliefs, that person is no longer conscious to enjoy their pain relief and freedom....lol. Maybe the last thing on their mind before they close their eyes was the pain of being popped from an oppressor's weapon for trying to fight back.

Seriously? What's with all these fucking laws and "Acts"????? Did it really take an ACT of Congress for law enforcement to half-way do their jobs? And if this isn't a law enforcement issue but a media/disclosure issue....what stopped the media from releasing this information YEARS ago? What about the Freedom of Information Act that already passed decades ago??? It reminds me of the Voting Rights Act. Black people already have the right to vote in the U.S. and any infringement on that right is illegal. PLAIN AND SIMPLE. You don't need and "act of Congress" to protect it. What you need is for law enforcement to do their job and PROSECUTE those local officials who try to infringe on your constitutional rights.

Troy It depends on the TYPE of insect being eaten. Maybe a grasshopper that primarily munches on grass is acceptable for a human to eat, but what about flies and their maggot larva? I don't see how anything that feasts on dead and rotting flesh can be healthy for humans to consume.

And you know what...... Talk about critical thinking. Although all of them are great for offering different perspectives and often thought provoking commentary on the various issues affecting our people....I wouldn't put any one of them in the same category! I wouldn't put Tariq Nasheed in Rizza Islam's category......or Rizza in Professor BT's category....and not even Jason Black in PBT's category! Not only do they provide different individual perspectives....but could be considered representatives of different GENRES (for lack of a better term) of FBA intellectual thought.

Well, at 44..... She better hurry up and make a decision 😝

ProfD They take care of their own people Yes, THEY are taking care of their own people and WE are also taking care of their people...lol. Our tax dollars are going to help defend their country and train their military as some of those nations are also part of NATO. Syrians and other refugees should've stayed at home. Makes no sense running to another country and still be impoverished. That may be a sign of low intelligence. There's no "may be" about it...lol. If yall number about half a billion people and tiny Israel is whooping your ass and driving you out of your homes to the point that you have to flee to Europe, South Africa, America, and other places around the planet....clearly you're facing an intelligence higher than your own. But it does make sense. Because although they flee to another country and still live in poverty....atleast they're SAFE. It's one thing to simply be poor. It's another thing to be poor AND constantly living in danger.

ProfD I've heard those claims. Plausible considering nobody really knows how some folks are being funded. Also, although I understand the reasoning why...I've always found it a little suspicious that both Professor Black Truth AND The Black Authority keep their pictures hidden. Both of them have been broadcasting for years, yet amazingly their identities have remained hidden with no pictures seen of them what so ever. They also have interesting sounding voices. Again, I understand why they may want to hide their identity but I don't KNOW that you're really a Black man unless I KNOW you're a Black man. Thought process is we should already know neither POTUS OJ nor Republicans gives a sh8t about Black folks. Therefore, we know what to expect from them. Only a fairly intelligent to above average and politically mature populace would understand that. The average American listening to them wouldn't. Most people in America today are so silly and one-track minded that if they hear you constantly criticizing the Democrats and almost NEVER criticizing Trump or the Republicans....they'll assume that's who you support and endorse. It's almost common sense for most people to assume that if the names of 2 people come up and you routinely have nothing but bad things to say about one and next to nothing to say about the other...you must like the other. Especially if the 2 are fighting eachother. You're constantly criticizing the Democrats and the Liberals and say nothing about the Republicans or Conservatism....the average person is going to assume you like them more. IMO, the New Black Media has a huge opportunity to build a movement. Just a matter of coming up with agenda and putting action behind it. That's the thing.... Is building a movement actually part of their agenda? Or is their agenda simply to pull Black folks away from the Democrat party...and that's it. Not turn them Republican or Conservative. Not turn them MAGA. Simply pull they away from voting Democrat....and stop right there. Because that's all Republicans really need to ensure victory. Troy Excuse my ignorance but does tether I to all nonFBAs here or just the ones who talk dot about us. ProfD already answered your question, but if I may...... Tether is a term Tariq Nasheed came up with to describe Black folks from African and West Indian backgrounds who work to undermine the progress and social status of FBA's. He calls them "tether" because they love to come to the United States and attach themselves (tether) to our culture and even pretend to be one of us...just to take advantage of the benefits we fought for.....then turn around and undermine us or bad mouth us and our subculture. He CLAIMS it's not a term used for the "good" Africans and West Indians who work with us and help our rise, but he clearly uses it as a form of ridicule and insult. It's not just recent immigrants who can be considered a tether but if you're born in the United States but come from an immigrant background 2 and 3 generations ago...you could still be considered a tether depending on your behavior, according to his logic. I like Tariq and his commentary obviously, but this too I find suspect. He seems to have more energy for Africans than Latinos and other immigrants. I've had some negative experiences with Africans....but I "understand" why. And I've had far more positive experiences with them than negative ones. But most of his commentary is spot on so....with my man Tariq, sometimes you gotta take the good with the bad....lol. I’m afraid unless the owners of new Black Media are more mission driven than financially driven. It Will ultimately not serve us. Perhaps they weren't MEANT to. Perhaps that wasn't part of their mission from their inception. I'm not saying this is definitely the case, however I'm suggesting that it COULD be a possibility....given their patterns of political and social rhetoric.

One of the arts of effective deception is CONFUSION. They don't make ALL of it poisonous or grind it up from roaches and maggots....lol. That'll make it too easy for you, because you'll simply avoid ALL of it and live a nice healthy life. What they do is play psychological games to keep enticing you to eat of it. Not only do they continue to lower the price but they'll make SOME of it from real meat and SOME of it from worms and poisons but they'll keep you guessing as to which is made out of what, because they know most people will take a chance and eat what they "think" is the healthier choice.

Get ready for more "objectification" of women....lol. This woman is not only intelligent and courageous but as lovely as all get out: I don't see any wedding rings on her finger either....lol.

Ok bro, start at the 13 minute mark and enjoy the rest of the program.....lol.

ProfD They may not operate on greed but they do operate on racism and xenophobia because until recently....those nations were almost exclusively White. Now that a lot of refugees from Syria and other parts of the Middle East have been coming in....you're starting to see more poverty and wealth inequalities. Another thing about places like Sweden and Norway is that they are pretty much the "bitch" of America. America protects them. So they don't have to spend their money on a military. All they have to do is just sit there with their legs crossed looking "pretty"...lol.

ProfD Rats can eat garbage and not get sick...lol. Most so-called meat at McDonalds as well as Taco Bell isn't meat at all....lol. It's what's known as "pink slime"....some sort of bioengineered substance made up in a laboratory. In some cases it's actually ground up insects and insect larvae (maggots).

In the teachings of the Nation of Islam, the question is asked can you reform a devil....the answer is NO. Based on my observations there are 2 types of Racists: 1. One is a Racist BY NATURE 2. One is a Racist BY CIRCUMSTANCE/ENVIRONMENT I believe programs like Sesame Street are effective in reforming the latter Racist, but not the former. His racism is part of his very nature and is.....for lack of a better term...GENETIC.

Update.............. An Indiana man has been charged with voluntary manslaughter for fatally shooting a cleaning woman who mistakenly went to the wrong home, prosecutors announced Man charged in fatal shooting of cleaning woman who accidentally went to wrong home "voluntary manslaughter" WTF?????

ProfD Well, whether or not "greed" is necessarily a bad thing is another subject that deserves a thread of it's own. Kind of like whether "jealousy" and "insecurity" are necessarily bad, however....... The problem is capitalism feeds human greed in such a way that only a small percentage of people get to enjoy a vast amount of wealth. The pro-Capitalist would argue if it weren't for the system of Capitalism, not only would that small percentage of people not enjoy a vast amount of wealth but NOBODY would enjoy it because the system that produced it wouldn't be around. They'd stand at you with their hands in their pockets and smile and say, "This large percentage that you speak of who are not enjoying that wealth wouldn't have been enjoying it ANYWAY, so they shouldn't be jealous and angry over something they wouldn't have had anyway." Misery tends to love company. Go to a poor country where EVERYBODY is poor...and most people are smiling and happy and playing music. As soon as they see you come there with wealth, then the music stops playing and the smiles turn upside down...lol. Then the kidnapping plots start. Then the ransom notes get drafted. It wasn't NOT having it that bothered them. It's seen YOU WITH IT that bothered them. Biggie Smalls said, The same ones who roll blunts wit'cha....as soon as you get something....be them same ones who wanna grab their gats and come git'cha....lol. Apparently, for thousands of years, the wise people have not been able to appeal to the greedy people. TRULY wise people didn't try to...lol. A person who is TRULY wise knows that a person's vices have a way of consuming them. They know that if a person is too greedy, given enough time their own greed will lead to their downfall anyway. The greedy people enrich themselves by keeping the population just healthy enough to trade their labor for wages. In some cases..... Now a days many of them aren't even bothering to do THAT. They're letting people die and IMPORTING more cheap labor in by the millions to take their places.

I was hoping that they would go further into it in this video but it was only 10 minutes so I guess it wasn't designed to go into too much detail; however I heard or read somewhere that introducing the MONSTERS of different colors and features was designed to combat racism as well. Instead of making monsters scary, they made them friendly and intelligent. It was designed to have the psychological effect of conditioning children to grow up accepting those who look different regardless of color or other features and not be afraid of them.

Pork is very cheap. Always has been. I think it's about the cheapest form of meat in the market. Someone claimed the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said that White folks wanted our people to eat pork so badly that if we actually got together and stopped eating it they'd start GIVING IT AWAY TO US FOR FREE, just to get us to eat it. There's a reason why. And it's the same with this "dollar menu" garbage you see being pushed by McDonalds, Taco Bell, and these other fast food merchants of disease and death. Anytime you see these people pushing certain products and foods and lowering the prices to encourage it's consumption....there's a nefarious motive behind it. Like you said in another thread, they get profit from treating the symptoms instead of curing the disease. Now take that a step further and recognize how they CAUSE the diseases in the first place. The intelligent ones of our community have actually been knowing this for DECADES now. "Always knew that I would clock gee's But welcome to McDonalds can I take your order please Gotta serve food that might give you cancer Cuz' my baby don't take NO for an answer" "Fast food got them feeling sick Them crackers think they slick By trying to make this bullshit affordable"

Troy The move for Black people is not to embrace the same f'ed systems greedy white boys use to exploit the populace (winking at Richard). We desperately need to do things that will serve us. This is true to the nation in general. This presumes there are no greedy Black men standing in line and ready to take the place OF the greedy White boys...lol. When you say we need to do things that will serve us, keep in mind there are a lot of exploitative Black folks inside of that "us" who love how the system operates. The ONLY problem they have with this system is that they aren't PART of it to the extent they want to be. ProfD Black folks don't have to use technology in the negative ways that greedy people do. "Black folks" and "greedy folks" aren't ANTONYMS....lol. Like Troy's....your statement presumes that there are no or very few greedy Black folks with the same motive. Actually, what I see as a bigger problem than using social media for greed and exploitation is using it for crazy 'hood shit and violence. An increasing number of people are using social media to set folks up for robbery and just in general trade threats and meet up to commit assault and murder! White folks control power, money and technology. Black folks are dependent and defenseless. Not a great position. As I mentioned earlier, a lot of this comes from laziness and apathy. The FCC rules and regulations notwithstanding......nobody is actually STOPING our people from establishing television stations, news papers, radio stations, and INVENTING other forms of technology to communicate with eachother. National television stations....though not as interactive...is just as good if not better at mass communicating ideas and important information than social media. We are a very creative people, why wait on White folks to let us in to a market when we can innovate one ourselves? But it start with DESIRE, and that's the issue. Laziness....lack of motivation....that comes from being happy and satisfied to get what White folks are offering. Power move? Ownership? The average Black man/woman (especially women....lol) is very happy to participate in all of the latest forms of social media that White people control whether it's Meta or X or Instagram.....doesn't matter. You want to see them crying and upset? Let them get kicked off or suspended or thrown in "facebook jail" for a few days where they can't come on and talk the usual trash. A lot of these nigga sit up with their arms folded and cry like babies because some White kid in a cubicle somewhere deemed their content "inappropriate" and suspended their account. Trying to OWN that platform or making some "power move" to prevent this from happening is the FURTHEST thing from their minds. Ownership requires THINKING and MANAGEMENT and takes a lot of the "fun" away. They'd much rather beg and plead with White folks for an "opportunity" to participate on their platforms. It requires no type of thinking or planning.....just log in and start running your mouth, showing out, and making threats against your opps...lol

Is the problem Capitalism? Or is the problem immorality and unethical business practices? We talked about wisdom in another thread. There's a difference between being CLEVER and being WISE. We know that the current elite believe there is more money in treating people than curing them. They think they are clever for building an entire economy on managing the "symptoms" of problems instead of solving them. However WISE people know that there is faaaaar more money and other benefits to be gained in actually curing people and better yet PREVENTING most of these diseases and other problems in the first place. A healthy stress free society is FAR more productive and innovative. With the trillions of dollars the leaders of this world have already WASTED trying to reduce the population through diseases, wars, criminalization, and other means....they could have invested that same money in incentivizing people to terraform other planets, EXPAND the human population, and expand the economy which would have yielded TRILLIONS in profits!

frankster Those were things I observed....even as a kid...of how closely Arab men would keep an eye on the females in his family. If she were working in a store or gas station _____________________________________ First of all you rarely saw Arab women AT the store or gas stations their men owned or worked at You just didn't see them. They'd be at home or back in the Middle East or somewhere other than where YOU could get to them...lol _______________________________________ But if you DID happen to see one....she kept her mouth shut and didn't make eye contact with any of the American customers. And if on the RARE occasion you got close enough to say something to her or ask a question, she'd look at you funny and immediately look over to or for the nearest Arab man and let HIM to respond to you. He'd stand there answering ANY question you may have had for her....lol. And WOULDN'T walk away and leave her alone until YOU left the store or gas station! I saw this multiple times as a KID, how they interacted with Americans....Black and White.

ProfD By the time a human reaches 25 years old, they should have enough knowledge to pursue independence. It takes more than mere knowledge, it also takes a decent paying job with decent credit and credentials. Now a days just to rent a ROOM in most cities they require almost as much money and credentials as it used to require to rent or buy a HOUSE 50 years ago. Prior to the 90s, you didn't have to have good credit or be on a job for a certain amount of time just to rent an apartment. They didn't care about your criminal background on most job applications. But now....especially with the influx of immigrants....there are so many workers per job to fill that they have to make up reasons to deny people employment and sift through the applications. By the time a human reaches 50 years old, they should have some level of wisdom. You're being too generous....lol. I'd say by the time a person reaches 40 they should have SOME LEVEL of wisdom. Now obviously it should increase with age. In the 1st sentence the question is asked what percentage. 2nd sentence reads like you already have the data. What did you say about intelligence and wisdom??? Well, I'm over 50 and I've been paying attention, I should have SOME knowledge to show for it....lol

....since when has THAT stopped 'em?

ProfD Some have entertained the idea that the so-called "New Black Media" are actually being funded by Conservatives or some right-wing group to distract Black voters and pull they away from the Democrat Party. Even if they don't get them to vote Republican....just pulling they away from voting Democrat ensures a Republican victory. When I used to listen to The Black Authority....when I USED TO listen to him....I sometimes got that impression. So you raise very good questions. They'll beat up on the Democrats all day and call you a "shill" if you fail to be as hard on them...yet they don't tell us WHO we should vote for. For a long time, they didn't have ANYTHING negative to say about Trump. As was before....they wait until the man actually get's elected and sits in office BEFORE they launch any criticism of him or question his motives. Uncle Phil Scott was the same way. No talk of Republican racism until AFTER the elections are finished and people have voted already.....THEN you start doing stories about MAGA racists.
