An American citizen actually living IN the United States watching the antics of the Trump Administration for entertainment is like pulling up a chair on the corner and watching 2 rival street gangs bang on eachother. You're not exactly in the safe zone yourself....lol.

....or the criteria of most people who have 20/20 vision and good sense, lol. But I guess in a world where men can call themselves "women" and have that legally enforced, who's to say a White man can't be called "Black" and that simply be accepted without question also?

Perhaps BOTH....at the same time. One man's "utopia" is another man's "dystopia". If you need an example, start with Chattel Slavery in America.

Cynique Call it what you like, but "little" it's not....lol.

Some would argue that WW3 already started on 9/11. And it's been "on going" since. But as far as the commonly believed WW3 that is supposed to be the nuclear war between the U.S. and Russia..... If it hasn't happened by now, I'm not sure if it will. I think we both have entertained the theory that those nukes aren't for eachother but really for the darker nations who would dare pose a SERIOUS threat to the global white power structure. ...if all else fails. Russia and Ukraine have been going at it for over 3 years now but NATO has yet to get fully involved and Russia hasn't provoked them. I'm not sure what's going on but this isn't a "serious" conflict. Oh, there are people dying by the thousands sho'nuff. It's serious in THAT regard. But neither side is really going all out to "end" it and win it. It seems to me that if they were actually serious, nukes would have been used already because their nations are being destroyed and people are being killed ANYWAY. If you know it's headed in that direction, what difference does it make if your nation is destroyed in 3 years or 3 days?

Because you dragged your yellow ass up into MY thread and decided to drop your (valued at below 1 cent) comment on it....lol. Sure did go to a lot of trouble to log on and go back and forth over something you don't care about. You said you weren't feeling well. Stop arguing with me when you know I'm right just for the sake of being contrary...lol. Take it easy and enjoy yourself on this Sunday morning.

That list actually seems to line up similar to my list in favorite movies. "Malcolm X" and surprisingly "Black Panther" are in my top 5 Another powerful movie by Spike Lee that I'm surprised isn't on the list is "Miracle At St. Anna" It's right up there with Glory in my opinion. Perhaps even better. I have YET to see the movie "Moonlight". The things I've heard about it....involving homosexuality or atleast homosexual suggestions between some Black males was a bit of a turn off. Has anyone seen it? If so, would yall suggest me watching it?

Man........ Yall ever seen a post that was so on point that there was simply nothing to "add" to it....lol

Ofcourse you're not waiting, because you know they don't exist....lol.

Cynique Nobody (including those who attempt suicide) really KNOWS when they are going to die. They may have some estimation or idea, but don't truly know for sure. You may end up out living everybody on this forum. Whenever I don't hear from somebody for MONTHS at a time, it makes wonder what happened to them. And even when they're posting, you don't know what kind of condition they're in or how they feel. I still think about people I used to interact with on Discussion Forums from 20 years ago...lol. Especially Black people from around the planet with different cultures and different ways of seeing things. It taught me how strong of an impact MY words had on people and the impact of words and relationships with other human beings in general.

Troy They are not separate, as all ADOS are Black. It depends on how society defines "Black". I've read where you said that "Black" is cultural or atleast involves a cultural element. By that definition... A White dude can grow some dreadlocks and start listening to Hiphop and adopting Black culture and BECOMES "Black". But an African who's skin is jet Black and practices an entirely different culture would NOT be considered "Black". That's why for ME...race is genetic. Your culture or language doesn't matter. Your phenotype and lineage does. Our Brother, Howard French is ADOS, Black, and entitled to reparations the same as you or I. He's clearly more White than he is Black. Based on your standards...... Theoretically, if an African woman was raped by a White overseer and produced a mixed MALE child who grows up, marries, and reproduces with a White woman...that child is still an ADOS although they are only 1/4 Black and 3/4 White. Are they entitled to Reparations in your opinion?

It may not be for YOU, but there's a need for it. Everybody can't be business owners or do their own thing. You need workers.....followers....foot soldiers. People to take out the trash and make the beds or just do the office paperwork. This is one of the reasons I no longer encourage most people to leave their 9-5's. But speaking of pensions..... One of the biggest tricks they played on the American workers was switching things over from pension plans to 401K. Pensions were pretty much guaranteed while most 401K plans were tied to the stock market.

In unrelated business.... That name "Pristina" attracted me to do some more research on Pristina Alford the listed Media Contact for NABB and it appears that she has a lot of Asian ancestry. Does this matter? Not sure. But I find it interesting.

We're all waiting for those White entertainers who titled themselves "DJ" this and "MC" that.

Genes "express" themselves different because they ARE different to some degree or another. If they were the same, they'd express themselves the same way in the same controlled environment.

frankster Where in societies and or individuals do not recognize your rights If they aren't recognized by society or individuals, they aren't rights. That's like a man claiming to have a Driver's License but it's not recognized by the State....lol. So do you... Yet, I didn't make the bold and ridiculous claim that telling ONE lie makes a person a "liar".

I enjoyed the documentary with Bill Cosby in it. There's a certain "realness" about the Black themed movies and documentaries of the 60s that seemed to have gotten lost by the time the 80s rolled around.

This doesn't answer your question, however a related observation is how so many Black youth have allowed White people to get comfortable saying "nigga" around them. It doesn't matter how "cool" a White person is, any one of them who ever tried to say it around me somehow instinctively knew that I didn't like it and would start off testing the waters and watching my reaction first. They know who to fuck with and who not to.

This entire thing seems to be "staged" in my opinion. 1. Russia could have won this war in 3 months (or less) if they were serious about defeating Ukraine. They are purposely dragging it out for some reason. 2. Clearly NATO is supplying Ukraine with weapons and Russia obviously knows it, so why hasn't a war broken out between Russia and NATO yet? What are they waiting on? Seems like the overlay for some underplay.

....that part right there.

Maybe Black folks would get better transmission AND reception if they stopped engaging in activities that facilitated signal interference and blockage, like excessive drugs and alcohol consumption...lol.

Troy most of us ADOS are mixed with Caucasian… But not HEAVILY mixed, like Howard French is. You're mixing apples and pears by the way.... You seem to be conflating BLACK with ADOS, and those are 2 separate categories that often overlap. “Biracial” is an even more absurd construct, as it just compounds the problem of race. You cannot look at someone and tell that they are “biracial.” You can with HIM. At the end of the day, a person‘s phenotype does not tell you anything about them. Sure it does. It tells you: -Their age range -Something of their state of health -Their racial background -Their sex Phenotype tells you a lot about a person, if you're paying attention.

ProfD White folks don't mind looking down on other people from a distance as long as they believe they're better than them. White folks NEED Black people for sex, artistic Creativity, cheap labor, ect.. All this talk of separation and "Whites only" is usually coming from some jealous poor White trailer trash who is insecure about having his sister or mother or daughter around Black men, lol. HE ain't got shit and don't mind living separate from Black people...unless he finds some dumb ass Black woman who loves him and then HE forgets all about it, lol. But the wealthy elitist Whites do NOT want us living separately from them. They know better. They want to live with and near us, they just want to be ON TOP. But, I've seem homeless people relocating, er, dragging their sh8t all over the city. There's also the lazy azz n8gglet who relocates, er, drags his bag of clothes and video game system between his momma's house and the last girlfriend who kicked him out Exactly, the point....lol. When you ain't got shit to lose, relocating isn't so hard.

ProfD Sure. Men are wired with varying degrees of s8x drive. Evolution should also include having enough sense to know the game and not becoming a trick. Law suits and living in a racist society isn't exactly a "natural" part of social/biological evolution...lol. Men are biologically wired to take calculated risks and seek sex from women they find attracted; however they are NOT biologically wired to consider lawsuits and video tapes in their calculations. These are products of an artificially constructed society. Often times constructed against them. There's a reason you don't see too many rich non-Black dudes getting sued for child support and/or assault. Right. Because often times there's a SYSTEM designed to protect them and THEY control that system. 1. Abortions are usually available upon demand for the "side chicks" who end up pregnant from such relationships; to prevent the births of unwanted children that would bring shame and disgrace to those men. 2. The system is controlled BY those non-Black men to protect eachother FROM being caught up in frivolous law suits and criminal charges when the situation arises. Rich men go the direct route. They use high priced prostitutes. It depends on HOW they got rich. Those who come from money do; but those who come from poverty or the working class usually don't because they come from cultures where there is a "pride" in being able to seduce women yourself instead of paying directly. Like I said earlier, most men "pay" one way or the other; however if you are in the hood and suggest to a group of young bruthaz that they directly PAY for sex you'd get laughed off the block. With all the money they spend on cars, clothes, and jewelry to attract women....they'd still consider it a disgrace or shame to have to pay directly for sex. Having to settle for millions of dollars for some snow bunny snatch box is just dumb. It's unfortunate. However if it's done to keep you out of jail or keep that person from escalating the matter by filing CRIMINAL charges against you...then understand that's the type of system you're living in. He's doing what he can to NOT end up like Puffy Daddy. You don't hear about situations like this much in African and Caribbean nations although Black men with money and power engage in the same behavior. Why? Because in those nations BLACK MEN control the societies and government so it's harder to be used against them.
