Cinque @Pioneer: Being San Frsncisco's District attorney, California's Attorney General, and State senator along with a degree from Howard University are among Kamala's impressive credentials in case you're blind , deaf, or in denial. Unless YOU'RE visually impaired yourself, or just have a hard time comprehending....I'll ask you again: Who is the qualified BLACK sista running, that you speak of? Did I miss her? I've never known what position Michelle Obama ever held other than first Lady. Never knew what she put her law degree to work doing. The woman is a HARVARD LAW GRADUATE. She's a near genius in her profession and qualified to hold ANY position that Washington D.C. has to offer. She could easily learn what it takes to be President "on the job". Her husband has already been President and would surely help her and brief her on a lot of issues also. Besides... The President of the United States is just a FIGURE HEAD anyway. They aren't the ones making most of the major decisions. Their position is pretty much symbolic. Speaking of which......... For an FBA/BLACK woman who grew up on the South Side of Chicago to achieve the highest office of the land is a HUGE win for our community symbolically and a major boost for the esteem and status of Black Americans globally.

"Should" is the operative word. What kids "should" do and what they ACTUALLY do are often two separate things. Children tend to emulate what they SEE the adults in their environment doing...whether they "should" do so or not. And because Black children tend to watch more television and consume more media than other children, they often see more adults in the media than they see their working parents...and thus tend to emulate THEM. Not just children, people in general tend to emulate those whom they see as successful. If little Black girls....many of whom don't have a father or even a father figure of ANY race in their lives see a woman "of color" occupying the highest office of the land and they constantly see a happy faced White man standing by her side grinning next to her...what type of message do it send them subliminally? "Take that one....Willie Brown"

I'll support a qualified "Black sista" running for office....where is she? Did Michelle Obama change her mind or something???????

Facts. We need to keep Reparations front and center in our political agenda as a people, however it's HOW you promote and push for it that I take issue with. Similar to how you and I criticize the effectiveness (or lack there of) of marching around in circles, blocking traffic, and shouting at cars driving by in dealing with violence against our community from race soldiers....similarly, we should question the effectiveness of having pep rallies and slam poetry contests to "get the word out" about our demand for Reparations. We need to be going directly to politicians both in office and about to be in office and challenging THEM to push our agenda. Holding a rally or bar-b-que where homeless people can come by and munch on a hot dog or two ain't gonna get you a damn thing except a BILL from the city. "Rally for Repa-WHO???? When he git killed? Did he used to live down in Souf'eest???

You act as if their mass killing of women and children are NOT part of their strategy and are NOT intended targets.

Troy thanks for that video, it provides even MORE information I hadn't heard in the general media about him telling his partner to not even give her aid after shooting her. Perhaps the biggest mistake our sista made was apologizing AFTER rebuking that damn demon. Perhaps she should have rebuked him and left it at that. But again, I have to ask..... Justice starts IN THE FAMILY. The son looks to be still just a boy, but our beautiful sista had the father of her child who presumably had SOME sort of feelings for her as well as her father. 2 adult males in her life. What did THEY do to bring justice for our sista? Why should the entire Black community suit up and go out on the war path for the honor of this sista when the so-called men in her OWN FAMILY aren't doing it? And I can ask that question, not just for this particular incident but for MOST of the incidents that occured before this one! Breonna Taylor had a daddy. Had men in her family. Sandra Bland had a daddy. Had men in her family. What the hell were THEY doing in response to their sister/daughter/mother being killed????

As I said before, I prefer her over Trump....however one of the things I don't like about Kamala achieving the highest office in the land is the image it gives Black girls. When you look at her, and that other SCOTUS Justice they just put on, it tells Black girls that if they want to to be successful and rise to the top....let go of them Black men and marry yourself a White man. Leave them loud mouthed ashy ass niccaz behind and get yourself a nice quiet zaddy with education (and preferably some money) who'll just stand by your side and smile as you achieve your dreams.

ProfD Shhhh---you better be quiet, LOL. Man.....I try so hard not to call her that. I was about to call Candace one, then I said.....naw, lol. Or maybe I did already and forgot about it? Speaking of wench which......Candace is another one who doesn't want to use the last name of her husband. They only want to get rid of the people. The land is the prize. Yeah, I was reading an article where Elon Musk or Gates or one of these billionaires actually wants Gaza because it's sea-side property and they want to build some resort complexes there or something. Don't you think for one second there aren't some sell-out Palestinians who would be more than willing to shake hands with corporatists and sell off their ancestral land for a profit! Black folks could learn a lesson from it too. There's a WHOLE LOT of lessons Black folks need to learn before graduating to that level. When it comes to learning lessons, we're still in Elementary School. What the Israelis are doing in Gaza....as devastating as it is...is still surgical and strategic. They hit "this" while preserving "that". That takes discipline. Contrast THAT with some clown being dissed by a girl at a block party and riding by in his hoopty and spraying up the WHOLE the street. The only thing that stops him is his gat jamming up. Later on that night.....miss piss-ass who actually diss him is at home in bed (or at somebody else's home in somebody else's bed); while 5 people are dead and 35 are laying up in the hospital over the incident. No discipline. No precision. No code of ethics. No sense.

Some call him an ambulance chaser, but I personally applaud brother Crump for what he's doing. Is he getting "justice" for the victims? Some would argue not. But who else CAN get justice for them besides their own family members? It's not Crump's job or responsibility to pull up on violent racists and deal with them. He's not even a CRIMINAL prosecutor, he's a CIVIL lawyer. A lot of people I go back and forth with over him don't understand the difference. He can't get anybody locked up because he only deals with Civil suits, not criminal ones where people can get imprisoned. He's doing HIS part....which is using his power as an attorney to win battles in the court room and get as much money as he can for the families of these victims. ....I ain't mad at him.

I'm not quite sure what our brother hopes to achieve by holding these yearly "Rally For Reparations" events. These events are good to have someplace to go and socialize, but they're not going to sway too many people on one side or the other. Everybody who is against us receiving Reparations will STILL likely be against it no matter how many rallies he holds. If he's doing it to get the attention of politicians....they already know about our desire for Reparations. This isn't telling them anything new.

ProfD Jews are taking an eye for eye multiplied. Kill one of them and lose 33 of your own. The point is Black folks could learn a lesson or three from the Jew in response to being attacked I hear (read...lol) what you're saying, however.... They are being supplied the TOOLS to taking those eyes out, by Western powers. If it were them alone, versus the Palestinians....a lot of THEM would be stumbling around without eyes themselves. But they're getting help from their brothers in America, England, Canada and other nations to pluck them eyes. Like Chevdove said, they are getting international support from other nations outside the region. Where is OUR "America" or "Germany" or "West" who would help us or come to our aid against these racists if we decided to do the same? Matter of fact.... Can we even count on EACHOTHER? Look at all the niggas running around in red MAGA hats supporting Trump and pushing right-wing talking points. As soon as you start talking about police brutality, here comes some nigga with a Trump cap on his head talking about: "Yeah but what about Chicago? What yall doing 'bout all dem killins in Chicago???" Chev Yes but, it would be good if it would be an act of war and not an act of Black men being killed off though. We need help from other countries too, like Africa or something. What if I told you that SOME of these Africans would not only NOT come to our aid, but would actually aid the RACISTS in trying to eliminate America's current Black population....hoping THEY would be able to come here and take the place? We are actually in a position to HELP OURSELVES if our people had the right mentality. Nobody is physically stopping us from joining these police departments and policing our own communities and rising in the ranks, except not having the desire to do so. Like I said earlier, Illinois has enough Black folks in it that no way JUST white men should have shown up at our sista's home. There should have been atleast one Black officer there. That alcoholic White man JOINED the police department so that he could do what he wanted to do. He wasn't recruited. The government didn't force him or any other White man to join and get the training....they WANTED to do it. The question is, why don't most Black men have that same desire? Is it my observation solely, or does [did] Sonya Massey, her daughter and her son have Native American traits? Not sure, but if that's the case....a lot of African women are part Native American too because I've seen a mighty lot of women from East and Central Africa who look just like her, lol. Same facial features, same slim build, etc..

I'm not sure what words anybody could offer to ease what that young brutha is going through. During the interview, the young man said that he dropped his father off at work. I haven't followed the "follow up" of this story too closely, but have we heard much from him? We've heard from the son, and Sonya's father....but what about this man she was/is involved with?

They are doing it just to do it, because it's probably not going to stop the Palestinians from seeking revenge in the future. As long as there are....10 of them left...they will probably retaliate to some degree. I don't say that as some sort of badge of honor for the Palestinians btw... I don't necessarily find their mindset honorable. They are driven in part be religious fervor. The belief that they are righteous, that "God is on their side" ....despite their high death toll, and that the Jews are the evil ones. That belief drives many of them to be bold and daring even when they continue to lose battle after battle and as you say their women and children are slaughtered infront of them. What we as AfroAmericans need to do is FIRST start accepting Reality for what it is, that collectively White Americans have the technology and are smarter and this is the main reason they can dominate and mistreat our people so much. Then figure out a way to get smarter ourselves so that we can defend ourselves and be less vulnerable. Being highly religious and tying rags around our heads jumping from roofs to roofs ain't going to do it. First step is MORE of us need to be in Law Enforcement, at all levels. I was watching some sort of law enforcement show the other day. I don't watch the shit on my own but I was over somebody's house and their children had that shit on and I would catch glimpses of it while we were talking other business but I noticed it had to do with border law enforcement. It was set down somewhere in Arizona and these were Border Patrol agents who's job was to monitor drugs and illegal immigrants coming in, but I was looking at the identity of the agents and MOST OF THEM WERE LATINO. Wait a damn minute! Talk about letting the foxes guard the hen house! A lot of Latinos have BEEN caught on that if you want power in this nation, you have to get into positions like politics and law enforcement where YOU decide who is apprehended and who is set free....who goes to jail and who doesn't. It shouldn't have been two White cops showing up at that sista's house like that. Atleast one should have been a Black man/woman. Actually a FEMALE officer should have shown up as well!

For goooooooood! That should become a meme right there....lol

They ARE trying to "clean up" the situation, by literally trying to WIPE Gaza OFF the map. Bounty (the Quicker Picker Upper) could learn lesson from the Israeli military on how to to wipe out entire communities clean, leaving not a spot of them left. Just remember that her husband (Douglass Emhoff....whom she chooses not to use the last name of)....is of those same kind of people over in Israel.

When I hear that name....JD Vance....I think of JD "Boss" Hogg of the Dukes of Hazzard "We're gonna git them Duke Boys one way or another..." I don't know why Kamala married him, however the fact that she's not FBA nor has she chosen to marry into an AfroAmerican family is very telling. It makes me question how strong her emotional and intellectual connection is with us. Now, in fairness...... The fact that she doesn't use her husband's last name is ALSO very telling. Like I said, I think she's better than Trump....but still. If my girl Michelle doesn't change her mind.......uh.....if she doesn't.....and I hope she does....we'll just have to hope she beats Trump by a landslide and see what happens when she gets in office.

Such a beautiful sista too. Delicate looking and lady like. I didn't realize she was only 36 at first because she carried herself so much more mature, but not in an "old" way but....reserved and mature. Not that ANY sista deserves that, but she wasn't ratchet or loud or obnoxious. Presumably religious and lady like in her demeanor. Even as that beast pointed the gat at her, her response was an APOLOGY....almost brings me to tears thinking about it because it's typical of how someone helpless and afraid might react. Perhaps she SHOULDN'T have apologized for rebuking that goddam devil. But anyway, back to the points you were making............ Expecting some of these blunt smoking red-eyed niggas to unite and stand up against these racist beasts is like expecting squirrels to rise up and storm the supermarket and snatch their own nuts and food from humans. Sure it's PHYSICALLY possible, but do they have the intellectual capacity to do it? From what I understand, our beautiful sista has both a father and a son. It starts with THEM. How far should THEY have gone to seek justice for their daughter/mother being taken out by a race soldier? If THEY aren't willing to take the first step to avenge the death of their daughter/mother, should others be expected to? I'm not going to say it here, but I know what I would have done if I found out one of them had killed MY daughter. No White man's "selective" law....where some felons get locked up and others get to fly around the country making speeches....would have stopped me either!

A lot of Black people support Donald Trump, for no logical reason. I talk to Black folks at work who love Trump and hope he gets in, but when I ask them why....the just look at he with a silly grin on their face and usually walk away to their jobs. They can't even EXPLAIN why they are pro-Trump. I think it's Trump's boldness that attracts a lot of people, especially his Black supporters. Minister Farrakhan as broadcasted on television now as he was back in the 90s so our community is starving for a bold leader who "tells it like it is". Who rails against the main-stream and establishment. Our people are looking for that. Trump IS the fucking Establishment itself, but he's such a good liar that he can criticize them and be apart of them at the same time and you won't see a contradiction...lol.

To be honest, I'm wondering if the 25th Amendment shouldn't already be invoked. Harris probably should assume office RIGHT NOW for the security of the nation.

Yeah, he came here to give our government a direct heads up on what he's GOING to do. Not seeking permission of what to do or how much further he can go in the conflict, but TELLING THEM what he's GOING to do.....so they aren't caught off guard. Poor little Candy Ass Candace Owens done fucked around and lost her job for criticizing Israel...lol. Yet she STILL is clueless as to the situation and believes these right-wing racists who claim to be against Israel too. She STILL rocks with the right-wing Republicans even after they've shown her time and time again that they are hypocrites and are NOT anti-Semitic, just anti-Black. As long as she stood in her lane and criticized "the nigraz"....she was cool. Started running her mouth about Jooz...and got tossed out on her ass, lol.

I'll take Kamala over Trump.....but I don't have too much confidence in her. Her choice in marriage says a lot about her.

ProfD My brutha, I forgot that you were in the D.C. area. Well, since you live in D.C. you might want to drop by and check on our elder Neely Fuller Jr. from time to time....LOL. I haven't checked out his broadcast in months, I hope he's still doing fine at 90 something years old. Did you attend Tariq's event? If so, what did our sista Vicki Dillard look like upfront and in person? I know she has health issues, but that's a cute little sista.....with her loud mouth self, LOL.

Speak of "the devil".....literally, lol.

So.... A couple of White cops with skull and Viking tattoos come into this sista's home. After a brief exchange, one of the cops TELLS her to go to the stove and take care of it so that it doesn't cause a fire, and she does. Some words were exchanged. And she tells one of the cops "I rebuke you in the name of Jesus". At which point he says, "YOU BETTER NOT or I swear I'll shoot you in the fucking face" Hmmm......That right there was strange as hell. Then he draws his gat, she apologizes, ducks down in fear, and gets shot in the face. Hollywood itself couldn't make this shit up! I hope our beautiful sista is at peace right now. So much was wrong with this situation, but what I don't hear many people talking about was the "I rebuke you in the name of Jesus" part. Why did she say that? What led up to her saying that to that officer? I haven't heard reports of her having mental or drug problems, so why would she just say something like that out of the blue unless something he did or said PROVOKED her into that response. And then....what kind of DEMON takes offense to this and murders a thin, calm, defenseless woman over it? She must have saw something demonic about him and he knew it.

ProfD We're almost there already, Jim Crow Joe JUST dropped out! Whitmer wouldn't be too bad. She's doing an "alright" job as Governor of Michigan and the Republicans hate her, so she must be doing something right. I have a little issue with her not locking up those armed rednecks who showed up at the state Capital back in 2020, but I won't hold it against her. She chose a Black Lt.Governor and spends a lot of time in Detroit. No, Obama is my girl. I'm pushing hard for her to get in. I'd take Harris over Trump, but I ain't gonna vote for her. As far as a woman becoming President, I don't think MOST Americans have a problem with it. Maybe a few old fashioned so-called "traditionalists" do, but the vast majority of Americans grew up with working and single mothers, so they grew up seeing women handling business. Not to mention women managers and supervisor and business owners. I don't think being a female would be a major problem.
