  1. I got new for you....lol....White folks aren't the ONLY ones who have a hard time trying to understand it. You tell me how an ugly dude with no teeth in his mouth and sounds like he's got a paper bag over his mouth....can actually be a PIMP and convince women to sell themselves for him and give him the money! I don't know how that happens, but I've seen several dudes who fit that description, DO it....lol. I believe a lot of people are simply BORN with talent because I've been witnessing it all my life. But if I hadn't witnessed it, I probably wouldn't believe it myself because a lot of it defies common "logic". I'm also very Spiritually oriented so I know and understand there is far more to Reality that what we simply see in this physical manifestation. Many people born with certain talents actually developed those skills in other lifetimes but they are displayed as "gifts" or "talents" in this life time! Others were born with keen neurological abilities that allow them to pick up on and learn things much more quickly and thoroughly than the average person. There are some people with photographic memories who can literally remember EVERYTHING that happened to them since childhood. Even the type of clothes THEY were wearing and what others in their environment were wearing on a particular day. I'm not sure if that's impressive....scary....or both, lol.
  2. A friend of mine from work keeps trying to get me to go to South Africa on a visit. He talks about how much I'd love it and wouldn't want to come back. He also loves to send me clips of South African women on the beach like this one: South African Sistas On The Beach Although I love MOST Sub-Saharan African women in all of their diversity, I have to admit that the women in see in the videos he sends me do NOT look like typical African women. I don't simply mean how they dress but even how they look physically. The various lighter skin tones. Being fat with big bellies and cellulite (which I don't mind in most cases....just part of an observation) Hair fixed in various styles with blonde and red highlights. And they come in various ages! Most of the sistaz in THIS particular video seem to be in their 40s, 50s, and 60s.....but wearing bikinis and having a great time! I keep thinking this was something out of the United States because they look so much like Black American women. But their ATTITUDE and how their carry themselves tells me that they aren't American. Too much smiling and having fun with eachother and no White people in sight in most cases. What a contrast to the Madea and "tough strong Black woman" images being promoted and even often praised in the United States. Black women who ENJOY being women.
  3. Speaking of time ON their hands, who's hand is ON your shoulder? Is it that same guy who you used to catch rides to the grocery store with before yall's falling out???? Fingernails look kinda long for a dude....lol.
  4. James 4 17: "So any person who knows what is right to do but does not do it, to him it is sin." So the question....is correcting someone you believe is in error the RIGHT thing to do?
  5. Why do you need to "call me" a cock sucker, when I'm in the hood with YOU???? Think about that one.....you'll get it in a minute or two, lol.
  6. Caregiver, huh??? He looks like the type of guy who'll CHANGE a person's diapers and sniff them at the same time....lol. You're the first woman I've EVER heard say anything critical about Idris Elba. On or offline....lol.
  7. As usual, some are....some aren't. Collective thought is a detriment in some cases. Especially if you're part of a group of people who don't think much or tend to engage in a lot of foolish and self-destructive thinking.
  8. Like Umbrarchist said, the United States has a problem with BOTH. It's been like that for decades, but BOTH problems seem to have intensified over the past 30 or 40 years. Especially since....as ProfD pointed out....the U.S. started shutting down it's public mental hospitals and using "cruel treatment" as an excuse to do so. So some patients were mistreated and abused. That happens in most major facilities. Since they don't want to house, feed, and treat these people......is being dumped on the streets to end up homeless, locked up in prison, or blown down by the police who aren't trained how to deal with people having a mental crisis, MORE humane than being locked up in a facility?
  9. It's almost to the point that it becomes just another form of "welfare" but this time dispersed globally. In a lot of nations, people with friends and family in the United States almost religiously beg and wait for them to send them money back home for everything including their basic needs. They no longer force their own governments to provide for them. Infact, in many cases even their own governments rely almost solely on foreign aid for their sustenance, not production. You have entire families who are counting on that ONE family member who made it to the United States (probably illegally) and is working 2 or 3 jobs sending most of the money back to them, while NONE of them are working.
  10. Funny how only me and another poster voted so far, but we both voted for the same thing....lol.
  11. Ezekiel Chapter 3 18-19 : "If I say to wicked people, ‘You are headed toward certain death,’ and you fail to give them warning by not speaking up to warn the evil ones against their evil courses so as to keep them alive, then the wicked ones will die for their sinful deeds. But I will hold you responsible for their deaths. But if you do warn the wicked and they keep sinning anyway, they’ll most certainly die for their sin, but you won’t die. You’ll have saved your life. "
  12. Not sure why but driving around today listening to my favorite music and even being forced to listen to some of that new Gen Z shit kids are calling Hiphop today, for some reason I became AMAZED at how well put together the lyrics are in music in general and in Black music in specific. Both the Rap AND the RnB. Seems to me it would be hard enough to come up with enough words that rhyme with each other to make an entire 5 minute song, let alone an album....AND make it all make sense with themes and story lines! AND make them sound smooth and witty and catchy! One of the songs I was listening to was an old one from Nelly where he said something about, "If you compare ME to your local grocerY Then you'll SEE I got more carrots than aisle D More bread than aisle G Then bag and scan ME" Even the kids riding with me had to trip out on THAT one....lol What a powerful mind to come up with some shit like that, IMO. I know a lot of musicians have writers who help them write their lyrics, but I'm wondering how powerful your mind has to be to come up with some of these beautiful yet captivating lyrics that stay in people's heads for decades. Is there some special place in the universe artists go to for their creativity? I know a lot of them do drugs and that activates certain parts of the brain.
  13. ProfD Sure. They never show females as detainees. Doubt they will be sending them to African countries. I find it interesting that you rarely never see childless women (of any age) in foreign countries as immigrants. You have a lot of female immigrants, but most of them are married and the ones who aren't have multiple children. Which is understandable because most of the women in world are married with children. However when it comes to men..... I'd say about 60% of the ones I see no matter what country they come from, come by themselves. Either they're single or if they're married their leave their wives and children behind for a period of time. You don't see that with the women. Whose fault would it be if the natives accept it? Ultimately it would be THEIR fault for keeping leaders who sell them out and allow racist foreigners to come into their land and displace and disrespect them. There's already a huge middle eastern presence in African countries. The Spanish won't look outta place. Stealing the thunder again. I was actually thinking the same thing, which is why I'm so against Latinos being deported there. They'd end up getting the same treatment and opportunities the Arabs have been getting.
  14. Yeah..."whatever"..... Lol...but this "jerk" knows how to JERK your chain, don't he???
  15. Trump plans to send National Guard to Memphis, escalating troop deployments | AP News What happened to Chicago? Is he still planning on deploying them there? What's taking so long? Why is he just "threatening" and "talking" about doing it when he has the power to simply order them there??? It's a fucking game, that's why. As I said before, even if he does..... They won't ESTABLISH a safe-zone, they will BE in the safe-zone. Holding posts in the safest most crime free areas of the city. Because they'll only be there for show anyway; not to really reduce crime and violence.
  16. Ofcourse they're paying these African nations to accept these people, so a lot of these impoverished societies see this as some sort of benefit. Not to mention you have some Africans who are in love with White and non-Black people anyway so they'll welcome these people to their societies no matter how grimy, dirty, low down, and criminal they may be. I'm guessing the vast majority of these immigrants being sent there will be males. How long will it be before you start seeing little yellow skinned curly headed children running around? How long will it be before you see tamale and tequila businesses popping up around the land with some short tannish man with tattoos all over wiping down the counters and locking the doors to his establishment at night?
  17. Wouldest thou leave them in error to dwelleth in the valley of confusion, out of mere spite?
  18. How many times have you hit the Lotto Jackpot (over $1,000,000) using this method?
  19. We don't "have" to. It's a position you chose...lol.
  20. See! That's what White folks call eachother -JERKS. "Oh Larry....you're such a JERK" Black folks don't use that term. Not even on their worst enemies...lol. It's just not something we say to eachother, it's almost strictly White. And even THEY don't say it much anymore. Last time I heard that term was on a Three's Company rerun....lol.
  21. aka Contradiction When are you going to post some more pictures of "girls night out" with you and your daughters? You got some FINE ass daughters....lol. And they all seemed to be taller than you, if my memory serves me correct. If I had one one THEM on my arm, I wouldn't have to try so hard....lol.
  22. I see you indeed HAVE divorced yourself from the Black community. First you crookedly put on some blonde wig somebody gave you. Now you're talking about some "jerk off" when Black people say "jack off"....lol. Next you'll be using words like "jeez" and "sheesh" and telling stories about the "white elephant" gifts you've received.
  23. They share SOME of the same genes. Infact, probably MOST of the genes they share are the same. However even when it comes to identical twins....some of the genes are different.
  24. It appears that several African nations like South Sudan and Uganda have entered into some sort of agreement with the United States to take in the illegal immigrants who have been arrested and detained during the recent raids. US deportations: Trump strikes deals with Honduras and Uganda BIG MISTAKE This is a back-door way of introducing and eventually displacing the African population with non-Blacks. Black African nations shouldn't be taking in and adding racist non-Black Latinos to their population for several reasons.
