  1. Well I don't believe "every" homeowner should have a gun, either...lol. Some people shouldn't be allowed to have a damn KNIFE anywhere in their vicinity. They can own a home....as long as they keep their ass in it and leave folks alone.....but as far as a deadly weapon; out of the question. But I do believe most people should have that right. Especially knowing that the police don't really have a duty to protect you. Deputies and the Sheriff's Department....yes. The police...no. It appears that they privatized the initial video I shared. Here's another news clip of the story for reference purposes: Now I'm wondering why did they privatize that video? Right now I can come up with 1 of 2 reasons: 1. Perhaps the sista didn't want her image out there like that; especially with so many people who are sensitive to the treatment of animals. They probably were harassing her online. or 2. They didn't want the image of a Black woman being hailed as an example of a proud American who used deadly force to defend their family and property. As far as many are concerned...that image is reserved for White men only.
  2. Willie D told me: Then I read: Woman Accidentally Goes to Wrong House, Resident Shoots at Her 17 Times — and Then Explains Why: Police Roman Rawicki, 50, was arrested this week on charges of attempted murder, false imprisonment, criminal mischief, battery and discharging a firearm on a residential property Woman Accidentally Goes to Wrong House, Resident Shoots at Her 17 Times: Police And THEN I read: House cleaner shot dead after showing up at wrong address in Indiana House cleaner shot dead after showing up at wrong address in Indiana And apparently they shot her THROUGH the door, like Willie said they do sometimes.
  3. One could argue that their robbery of financial institutions was an act of Socialism by way of wealth re-distribution....lol.
  4. 🤔 Hmmm....I wonder are Troy and admin two separate people? If so, now it makes sense why Troy has the word "Administrators" under his Avatar pluralized...lol. ProfD In the event that someone breaks into the house and/or poses a threat of hurt, harm or danger to the family is reason enough to own a gun. Lol..... I think Troy admin was just being sarcastic with his monkey statement. We all know humans pose far more of a threat to the safety of a home owner than a bunch of diseases monkeys who fell off a pick-up truck....lol. Especially after they've been smoking that fake ass weed from the dispensary.
  5. My thoughts on the NYC election? I'm tempted to say....a Black man didn't win, so who cares? But I know who runs....or atleast APPEARS to run...New York ("America's City") matters because it's often a template for other big city mayors across the U.S. I don't think him being elected is going to change much in New York. Especially for the better. I think Indians, Arabs, and Pakistanis will flock to the city in larger droves than they already are and use his Administration as a proverbial goose that lays golden eggs; but for Black people and even most Whites.....his election will be of very little to no benefit.
  6. I wonder will the NRA praise HER and give HER 5 minutes of fame for defending property and family? I wonder will right-wingers hold HER picture up as a model for the 2nd Amendment?
  7. ProfD If a fire breaks out in his place, he might have a chance to learn. The type of people who ignore chirping smoke alarms where they stay are usually the SAME type of people who call their MAMA or BROTHER when a fire breaks out instead of 911. That should give you an idea of their chances of actually "learning" from a crisis...lol. But WE can learn from THEM. Worrying about being snatched up and deported isn't predicated on knowing the time Lol.... Aren't Visas and Green Cards dated with expirations? Like I said, with some people there is a definite pattern of neglect and irresponsibility that follows them around like a shadow.
  8. 🤔 I wonder is there a FEMALE version of the Drop Squad ? I think "Set It Off" is about as close as Hollywood has come to one.....lol.
  9. ProfD That's why Black folks should have very minimal to no contact with them. Especially poor White folks. Those are usually the worst type of White folks to be around. Not only do they usually have nothing of benefit to offer, but their frustration at their economic situation is amplified by their confusion and delusions of superiority.
  10. Interesting...... Did a quick search of Adams' background and it seems he hasn't been married before. That's rare for politicians that rise so high in office. Not that it should matter anyway. But most of them seem to marry early just to have a "beard" and give the "impression" that they are settled down, mature, and responsible.
  11. ProfD Someone who cares enough will go around changing the time on those appliances and clocks. If a nigga won't change the damn SMOKE ALARM when it's chirping off in the background, what makes you think they care enough to change those things either...lol. Right now, many of them have more immediate concerns rather than worry about what time it is and whether it's an hour behind or ahead The making of a vicious cycle..... The fact that they HAVE more immediate concerns to worry about is a RESULT f not caring what time it really is. Looking for another job to put some food on the table is one of them. You don't know how many people I've seen get written up and even fired from work for coming in late....because of daylight savings time. Now granted, this ONE TIME ALONE wasn't enough to get them fired...it was just the last straw. When that White man comes out and sees half of his workforce missing in the morning and his face turns beet red....people get called in the office left and right. Daylight Savings Time is not a major concern or societal issue in the grand scheme of things I'm not a big fan of Racist Rudy Giuliani, however one thing he did that I learned from was the method he used to reduce crime in New York....called the "broken window policy", or something to that effect. The method centered round the reasoning when society lets minor issues like broken windows and people littering in the streets occur with indifference...pretty soon it leads to MAJOR issues like rape and murder and open dope dealing occurring with that same indifference. That logic makes sense. When people are so indifferent that they don't care enough to pay attention to the actual time and make sure the time is accurate....that type of pattern seems be a theme that follows their their other activities in life.
  12. Yowza! That woman is BURSTING with flavor....lol. Mayor Adams sho' has good taste. She staring at me like she wants me to yank on that zipper and see what pops out....lol.
  13. Oh.... Another tether trying to cozy up to "massa". It's funny how a lot of these tethers don't want anything to do with Black Americans, yet they sit up and watch television, movies, and internet videos trying to EMULATE Black Americans.
  14. That's the difference right there! They DO have better things to do, you don't.....lol.
  15. She looks to me, like somebody recently cut from the Candace Owens wanna-be auditions.
  16. What about stoves, refrigerators, microwaves, wall clocks at work? There are a ton of clocks that don't operate on "smart" technology that need to be manually configured. We have a a lot of immigrants and foreigners in general in the United States who have no idea about "daylight savings time"; yet they work and go to school right along side us. It seems that nobody is "in charge" of coordinating things to keep society on the same page.
  17. I believe I did a thread on this before but...... Once again, with all of the talk and spamming and bullshit all over the internet and social media STILL very little to no mention of Daylight Savings Time and how the clocks must be turned back. Even the so-called "New" channels and sites have barely said a word about it. It makes you wonder where people's priorities are. Perhaps they're used to their computers and "smart" phones doing it automatically that most people don't give it a second thought.
  18. Lol..... You KNOW why they do, but do you UNDERSTAND why they do? You KNOW that poor Whites vote Republican for racist reasons, but when you UNDERSTAND that they care more about maintaining and supporting the System of Racism than they care about their own personal comfort and well being....then you'll also UNDERSTAND that they don't give a fuck about SNAP benefits. ...or CLAP benefits, or STOMP benefits, or PAT-ON-ONE-KNEE-WHILE-TAPPING-YO-TOEZ benefits....lol. The ONLY "benefit" some of those poor toothless "peanut butter smeared on apple slices" eating bastards care about is the "benefit" of seeing some Black folks suffering. ....even if they have to suffer right along with them. "Hey Brian! You've been homeless for a few years now. Aren't you depressed and angry over your situation?" "No sir! Not as long as I got my buddy Tyrone over here along side of me! I'm doing just fine!"
  19. I'm not sure about this particular case, however a lot of times the prosecution itself will downgrade the charges in the hope that it will increase the chances of conviction. If a person is charged with 1st Degree murder, an experienced Prosecutor may see that charge is so tough that even if a jury feels the person is guilty....the don't want to convict them because the sentencing may be too harsh. So the Prosecution will downgrade the charges to a level they think the jury may find more "understanding" to ensure a conviction. *I wonder how many people forgot that this DEVIL actually killed her after she said, "I rebuke you in the name of Jesus" ?
  20. ProfD Not Black folks who have some money. That's because most Black folks who have money surround themselves with non-Black folks. That's one of the reasons you see little conflict. When MORE "Black folks with money" come around, the competitions often starts. They need to let that juvenile sh8t go. There's enough female attention for every dude to get it. Lol.... That's like saying there shouldn't be any poor people because they're plenty of money out there for everybody to have some.
  21. For me, it's hard to do that. I'm a Pan-Africanist by nature; so I have an almost instinctual drive to care about other Black people.
  22. Yeah, but you said something....didn't you. I'm still trying to figure out what an "ageist" is....lol. Is that some sort of new religion????
  23. It's not polite to just STARE at people. Stop standing in the room just looking and STARING at people like a scared little girl, and SAY something...lol.
  24. Troy It's funny that you mentioned the genocide in Darfur because it happened AGAIN last night! This time at a Star Bucks I go to! There is a woman who works there from Sudan I talk to from time to time and I asked her about a recent massacre that happened at a hospital there where nearly 500 people...many of them pregnant women there for maternity reasons....were dragged out and killed. They said there were so many bodies and so much blood in that area near the hospital that you could see the carnage from space! I asked her about the situation and she mumbled something about it being on the OTHER side of Sudan and how "those people" are always fighting. Then went on to show me some pictures of a fashion boutique she want to open up back home *when* she goes back to Sudan. Man...... Talk about caring more about people than they care about themselves!
