  1. But the thing is..... We not only have Black police officers and lawyers, but we have Black JUDGES too. So what's stopping us from giving ourselves BLACK PRIVILEDGE when it comes to the Criminal Justice System? That's a rhetorical question btw.....because I already know the answer.
  2. I'm talking about the squirrels in a PARK...lol. Urban dwelling squirrels who rely more on humans than on themselves. But I think you understand my point. We've been hearing this for generations. About what Black folks NEED to do. At this point, if they still aren't doing it......what does that tell you?
  3. ProfD And the sad thing is....most of them KNOW how White folks feel about them. Yet they don't mind being treated as 3rd or 4th class citizens, as long as they think they're above YOU in the racial hierarchy. Indians and Latinos are COMFORTABLE in social hierarchies, even if they aren't at the top of them.....because it's part of their cultures. Many Africans are too. The concept of everybody being equal and treated the same is a largely a post-Civil Rights American concept.
  4. The more I look at this video, the more I pay attention to my man who comes in at the end...lol. The expression on his face. The way he moves. I'm not sure what to say.....lol.
  5. You made (made up) the accusation. It's up to YOU to back it up with evidence.
  6. ProfD No need to question and/or explore alternatives when comfortable and complacent. Exactly. Which is why you don't see too many Black folks out there protesting Trump. It is still of his freewill. He signed up for it. He wasn't forced. He submitted himself to their authority. His choice to do so was free-will, but when he agrees to that position.....he forfeits his free-will and right to do and say as he pleases. Like most employers. You had free will to CHOOSE the job. But after you've chosen and are under their authority, you have to submit yourself to their THEIR will....not yours.
  7. Well..... Lol...have you seen or experienced any UFO's?????
  8. That rainbow hair-lined clown better leave my girl alone....lol. I like Rep. Crockett! Not only is she beautiful and very feminine, but she's VERY smart and articulate and knows how to get her point across. I don't agree with some of her political views. Especially with regard to immigration. But I agree with more of her views than less. They need to protect this beautiful sista.
  9. Kenneth So what's keeping us from doing these things ? The low intelligence, for many. You might as well be asking why don't the squirrels in a park learn how to run to the store and buy their own nuts and acorns and build a little shed to store them instead of relying on humans to feed them. They WOULD....if they had sense enough to. People with high intelligence generally don't have to be constantly rallied and begged to do things for themselves. They just unite with eachother, get on up, and DO them. No need to hold pep rallies and have people constantly scold you and criticize you and beg you to do something for yourself. If you got sense enough TO do it....you're GONNA do it. And usually, nobody has to tell you to. Truth be told, most Black folks with normal and high intelligence ALREADY ARE doing most of what you've described. The somewhat sad part is, often times they have to network with other races because they can't find enough OTHER Black folks they can build with.
  10. That's a damn lie... Since when did I EVER consider you a "lady"? "Let's just say" you can't find any evidence for the accusation you made....lol.
  11. Most of the Black and Brown people out there protesting are sincere, most of the White protesters are not. They're there to gather information and cause confusion.
  12. Audience Notice how she can make post after post calling people names and being accusatory but has yet to provide ANY evidence of her accusations.
  13. ProfD As a result, Black folks will continue making the best of the situation under the system of racism white supremacy. Can you blame us? Lol...how viable or practical are the other alternatives? Sure. Tribes are natural part of human existence. Strategic alliances are usually formed when there is common enemy. Unless that enemy is smart enough to step in between and INTENSIFY the separation that already exists between those tribes. Confirmation. Make sure the information is correct. No assumptions. Do you think you'll even GET the truth from these African leaders as to why so many sell out their own nations to foreigners? You can look at it for what it is and know it's for greed and selfishness. They aren't going to admit that though. He's freely willing to answer to those powers. He's not being imprisoned or oppressed He's BEHOLDEN to the powers above him that put him in.
  14. aka Contradiction So you pretty much told a LIE. And I exposed you.
  15. ProfD So you're over 40, and I'm sure you've lost loved ones. Friends and family you were close to. Are you saying you haven't had ANY Spiritual experiences (including realistic feeling dreams) in which they have come back to you?
  16. ProfD Yet, Black elected officials are not making laws specifcally to help their own people Just them BEING there and occupying that seat....if they aren't directly/indirectly harming our people...is a good thing, even if they haven't made laws specifically for us. Israel has a stronger military backed by the USA. While this is true, my point was they do NOT have their own land. The land was taken and is now owned by the state of Israel. Death is inevitable. Nobody really knows what happens after we die. That's why very few people rush it Well, thousands of people commit suicide every year in America ALONE. So a lot of people seem to seek it. You say nobody really knows, yet there are many Spiritualists who claim they DO know and claim to have proven the existence of life after death. This has been the case for THOUSANDS of years. There is an ancient book called the Tibetan Book Of The Dead that seems to map out the Soul's journey after physical death instructing it where to go.
  17. You ACCUSED me of something....now back it up. Give us examples.
  18. ProfD Civil Rights wasn't enough to unify all Black tribes. That was 60 years ago. There's nothing to force it now. A collapsed civilization might do the trick...lol. When there aren't enough White folks to support them, that will FORCE most of our people to put their petty differences to the side and DO FOR SELF. The system of racism white supremacy is the force that created the tribes. Perhaps. But some say Black folks were divided and warring against eachother LONG before White folks even existed. Some of the bow-tie brothers on the corner would say Black folks were already in "tribes" before White folks were even a THOUGHT in the mind of Yakub...lol. We would have to ask those African nations why they do business through foreigners. Why ask questions you already know the answers to? For the conversation, or something???? Otherwise, Black folks can build anything if/when we have no other choices...necessity. I agree. Which is why I said what I said at the beginning of this post...lol. Only certain people are unrestricted...above the law. Even Trump isn't really free. He has to answer to those powers...that you don't see....who put him in and is keeping him in.
  19. ProfD Where in the US can Black folks make their own laws. Anywhere we hold legislative and in some cases executive power Black people can make our OWN laws and enforce them in places in Michigan, Illinois, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, D.C., and many other states... They have their own land. Obviously not, since it's IN the state of Israel and the IDF can come in taking action and seizing property anytime they want. Again, where are these places in the US? Right there in Maryland, to start. Intelligence and knowledge won't overcome fear of death. The RIGHT kind of knowledge will overcome and rid you of the fear of death in 2 ways: 1. You will know what to do to KEEP FROM dying. 2. You will know what happens to you AFTER you die and how much more wonderful it will be than this Reality. A genius doesn't spend much time around an intellectually challenged person. True. Unless they're some sort of health professional or scientist studying or trying to help them. Like Shalamar this could be the 2nd time around. Be careful quoting Shalamar. Remember in "This Is For The Lover In You", they said: "This Time.... It's Gonna Last Forever"
  20. You said "humans". Do you believe any other creature or Being does?
  21. That thang she's got is so big....it should be BEEPING when she's backing it up and wiggling it around...lol. Now I know what she does when she's not in her room watching Boule Beyond The Gates.....LOL
  22. Who exactly are they grieving TOO? Who is the target audience they're directing this at that they hope hears their plea??? Nearly everyone already KNOWS where they stand politically and aren't going to be swayed one way or the other. Who's wandering out there aimlessly waiting to be "influenced" or "convinced" about Trump?
  23. richardmurray Lol...actually you did; because I DON'T view it as necessary for any job. I stand...next to YOU.
