Imagine a world WITHOUT imagination. Most of the technology we have as human beings came from our imagination, and was brought into this reality through reason and rationality.

Well, investigations for 2 major crimes.....in the words of richardmurray "automatically arrive".....lol. 1. Collaborating with Russia to commit for foreign interference with our National Election 2. Incitement and promoting of violence in his various political rallies where he literally pointed out people and told the audience to attack them. Much of this is on video so the proof is out there. All he had to do was prosecute....but he refused to do so.

frankster I Trust it was a Welcomed surprise?. It was neither pleasant nor annoying. Strictly down the middle. Just a surprise. Kind of like seeing a dog run across the street you're driving down...lol. Cynique I've never smoked weed. Well maybe you need to start. It's never too late....lol. And where is Troy??? Probably somewhere buying the weed for you. He lives in Florida so I'm sure he can get his hands on some of that Jamaican Ganja...lol. ProfD My cousin was an everyday chain-smoker. That dude smoked no less than 3 packs of cigarettes per day. He would light another cigarette with the one that was down to the filter. You said "was"...has he passed? And if so, how old was he? I did not purposefully drive the forum audience away Social Media drove most of them away. They'd rather be harassed by the facebook police and spend time in the facebook jail, rather than communicate with eachother on a Black owned website where they have relative freedom to do and say what they like. I've said it over and over again and although nobody has disagreed with me, I can tell most still don't believe it.... Many people -and especially most women- do NOT like posting on sites where there is light or almost no moderation. Oh THEY love the ability to say and post whatever THEY want...but they don't want others to enjoy that same right. They like to be able to go to the moderator or administrator and complain about posts or posters they don't like and get them in trouble and banned. That was one of the problems with that Lipstick Alley site. A bunch of people running around snitching on eachother and forming little cliques to fight and squabble among themselves over petty shit. And they REALLY don't like a site being moderated by a straight Black man.

I could easily ask YOU those SAME questions that "automatically arrived" to you, since you're on here doing surveys and griping about issues that annoy you also...lol. However if I am leading a successful Black organization and by your admission my advertising it isn't enough to make YOU want to join, why SHOULD I advertise it? Rather than motivating you and incentivizing you to cooperate with me and my efforts- The only thing advertising my activities would do is cause more question to "automatically arrive" to you.....lol. Cynique LOL As much as you whine and pout, you must not be having much success in your grandiose ambitions to lead your people out of bondage in your self appointed role as the savior of "afroamericans". Atleast you're halfway admitting AfroAmericans NEED somebody to save our asses...lol. YOU obviously don't want that responsibility. Hell, you even went so far as to DIVORCE yourself from the Black race.....'shows how much you care. Maybe you'd achieve more results if you'd cut out the sexual harassment. Let's keep whatever happened between me and you...STRICTLY between me and you.....red bones, lol.

Like I said, I blame Obama for it. He had the opportunity to investigate and prosecute Trump but declined to do so.

....and much of those problems stem from our collective lack of unity. This is something I've been noticing over the years when it comes to "Black Unity" It's interesting how niccaz can unite and show loyalty when it comes to street gangs, or getting together on code to smoke some dope tonight; but when it comes to uniting and coming together to do something positive and productive for our community, they start yawning and checking their cell phones and pushing themselves up off the couch getting ready to leave and find something else to get into. "Yo hold up...... My girl wanna go to the casino tonight! That Black Unity skit might have to be put on hold dawg!" Loyal as hell to a particular neighborhood or street gang. Even ready to go to jail for it. But when it comes to uniting to stand up against a racist boss at work....they start grinning or mumbling something about how much they need the job and it's their last opportunity.

I'm not caping for Puffy either because he's certainly no angel. However Dr.Umar Johnson said something the other day in a video that made a lot of sense. He said the prosecution and incarceration of Bill Cosby was a test by Racists to see if Black America is so asleep that they'd tolerate "America's Favorite Dad" being locked up before their very eyes and do nothing. If there was little to no response to Bill Cosby, other wealth Black celebrities being stripped of their wealth, their legacy, and incarcerated were sure to follow.

How do you know I haven't done and AM doing this right now?

The author of a book can decide the "fate" of any one of the characters in it. According to the Bible Judas later on committed suicide, which is considered a major sin in Christianity. Was that part of his "fate" also?

Lol...for some reason, I figured you'd be one of the last people on here seemingly promoting the effects of ingesting Marijuana. While I don't disagree with what you wrote, it should be understood that much of the weed on the streets of America today and most of the weed sold in the dispensaries around the nation is NOT real or natural Marijuana. It is either fake OR has been genetically altered with the THC levels enhanced to dangerous levels. This shit most people are smoking out here is making many of them psychotic.

If you didn't see it, Tariq Nasheed went in with his opinion about what is happening to Puffy and why it's happening and he even mentioned the lawsuit you spoke of and how that probably triggered this attack. If you want to save some time, instead of watching the entire video you can watch the 14 minute mark to the 48 minute mark where he talks about Puff. The rest of the video is covering various recent events.

Lol.....I don't call myself a "pioneer #1" for nothing.

You're right..... There is no reason why people CAN NOT. But there are plenty of reasons why many people WILL NOT.

That 2nd photograph look like the place Flipper was walking around asking people where could he find his brother Gator after he stole their mother's television in Jungle Fever..lol. The only thing missing is Charlie Murphy leaning up against a car in an Adidas suit and gold chain, grinning.

Cynique I'm hearing some very dire and ominous predictions in connection with the upcoming solar eclipse. Very "dire" and "ominous" for WHO???? Perhaps the same event that may seem dire and ominous for those who are ruling this world with injustice will be welcomed relief and ecstasy for those who have longed for justice. Del When Trump was first running for President I had said we are having paradigm shifts. That was back in 2016. I feel that the next five or so years we are at the crossroads. I think the biggest issues will be the global economy and wealth consolidation. I'm not sure what kind of "paradigm shift" you're speaking of. White folks were running the world BEFORE 2016 and 7 years later they're STILL running the world. What "shift" took place? I have seen a rise in homelessness in Sydney. It's also an issue in other parts of Australia. I work and live with people in their 20's. They are a different breed although I don't know if they will be different enough to solve the problems they will inherit. Some of those very young people you speak of are working with the rulers of this world to MAINTAIN the conditions that you call "problems". *which aren't really "problems" for them* Homelessness and drug use are problems for the homeless person and the drug user...NOT for the ones who benefit off of their suffering. These so-called "problems" are manufactured for people to make money from. You may see them as "different" but rest assured, the younger elites are working with the older elites and learning from them on how to stay in power. They aren't confused or in a daze about how to make the world a "better place". It's ALREADY a great place for them.

Well, the U.S. is not a democracy anyway. I'm not sure if we want it to be one. Under a so-called democracy, the MAJORITY has the absolute power to make the rules and the MINORITY has next to none. Women might fair better than men...lol...but the White race would have absolute authority over the others. I

Ok, I can easily understand that because it sounds kind of like me. Although neither of my Parents smoked. I actually did smoke for a number of years...but out of boredom, not addiction. I was told by an older person to quit BEFORE I got addicted to it and eventually I just walked away from them without the least bit of desire to go back. But as I've gotten older, I'm less judgmental of those who do drugs and alcohol on a regular basis because you never know what they're going through in their lives that these addictions are the only thing keeping them from jumping off a building. I now say do what you want, as long as it doesn't negatively effect me. Now when you start ROBBING folks in the neighborhood to feed your addiction, now it's time for a talk....lol.

ProfD Have you ever tried alcohol, cigarettes, or even coffee....lol. I ask these questions because I've met so many people AFTER highschool who have told me they've never done these things but when I was in school, it seems like nearly everybody was doing them or atleast tried them.

I'm puzzled. That's obvious....lol. But I'm here to straighten you out. As far as my issues with DEI....... For one thing, the term is too vague. It diverts the attention of AfroAmericans away from what we should focus on...which is our community's economic, social, and political needs...and focuses us on helping "everybody" or atleast all disempowered people. I'm not interested in helping "all" disempowered people because some people SHOULDN'T be in power. I'm not interested in helping racist Arabs or racist Latinos get more power and wealth in this nation, just so they can turn around and get with White folks and help THEM practice more racism against my own people. DEI...like the term "Affirmative Action", "Diversity", and "Minority".....are terms too vague and can be used to mean almost anything and include almost anybody. Infact...the term "Civil Rights" is too vague in my book. It should have really been called "AfroAmerican Rights" or the "AfroAmerican Freedom Struggle". Whatever they wanted to call it, they should have made sure it specifically applied to AfroAmericans. The Civil Rights Acts and other legislation that was passed in the 50s, 60s, and 70s, should have been SPECIFIC to helping and empowering AfroAmericans ALONE. Let those other groups fight for their own benefits like our people had to.

So I have to ask the same questions I ask whenever I hear about Black celebrities and other AfroAmericans of high profile in legal trouble..... Where are the Black Judges and Black Prosecutors in all of this? Surely there are some Black folks in shot calling positions to "oversee" what's going on. At my job, there are about 7 or 8 major ethnic groups that nearly all of the 1,500 employees fall into..... AfroAmerican, Ethiopian, Latino, Anglo American, Congolese, Italian American, and a few others. Right now we're in the process of organizing a system to where if anyone of in the AfroAmerican ethnic group is called into the office for some sort of disciplinary action....there would be an AfroAmerican "steward" or representative to oversee the situation and make sure they aren't being screwed over. Me and some other AfroAmerican workers put that together and when those other groups heard about it then they wanted the same representation for their own people...LOL. In this world, you better have somebody.....somebody of importance...looking out for you! Too many Black folks get these positions of authority and instead of exerting what little authority they DO have they sit up there like dummies occupying the position but not using it to empower their people. I know what you'll say ProfD...lol...they didn't have a lot of REAL POWER to begin with. Well, what little power they DO have...many of them aren't using it. Back in the 40s and 50s Black folks weren't in these positions at all, but after a lot of cussing and fighting we got into those positions in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Those positions must have carried SOME power because we were able to protect and promote Black businesses. Black Mayors and Judges around the nation were helping eachother out from their positions! So they couldn't have been totally powerless. Look at what your boy Marion Barry was able to do from his various positions in his political career! Nah....some of these niccaz are just plain lazy and selfish and refuse to help other AfroAmericans DESPITE being in a position and having the power to do so. They got it. Like SNAP....they got the power.....they just ain't using it.

Cynique I:'ve always been about expanding my mind! Have you considered dropping LSD or popping a few Molly pills? I've heard they really "expand" the mind....lol. except for those with narrow minds who only want to reinforce what limited knowledge the have stored in their memory and are deluded enough to believe that they already know everything there is to know. So...when do you plan on breaking out of this vicious cycle?

Never? You mean you've never even TRIED weed or other drugs?

Troy Lol...I know you saw my question.

Dr. Umar Johnson chopping it up with a successful young brother and scolding him over smoking weed.... I find it interesting that Umar Johnson smoked an entire joint and nothing happened. I find this interesting because I've had a few similar experiences myself and it one of the reasons I DON'T smoke weed. I've tried weed a few times in highschool and a few more times in my 20s.....once in my 30s...and left it alone. On each occasion (except one where I believe the weed was laced) absolutely nothing happened. I got the same effect as smoking a cigarette. And what I really found interesting was that I was told on multiple occasions the same thing Dr. Johnson was told, that maybe you're too intellectual to get high....lol. I was told that I "thought" too much and didn't "release" enough to get high...lol. I do realize that I don't like the idea of losing control of myself...especially in public places...and some say this is the issue. Regardless of the reason, it seems as if Marijuana either doesn't have an effect on me or I need MORE than the average person to produce an effect (which I wasn't willing to do). Have any of you had similar experiences?

In the real world, whether I'm at work or on the street....if I'm talking to somebody and I'm trying to remember something I often will ask them or give myself a while to try to remember it myself. Some people ask, why not just look it up on your phone? Because I don't want to. I like the feeling of REMEMBERING certain things and I'll sometimes wait a whole day trying to remember something and use the internet only as a last resort. I like using my brain. I usually don't use calculators for the same reason. I'll grab a sheet of paper and do it with a pen. A lot of younger people under 30 will crowd around me in amazement and wonder what I'm doing and ask me if I'm playing some sort of game....lol. It's the same online. If I'm having a conversation with somebody, I can easily flip to another window and look it up but I don't care too much for doing that in most situations. I like the idea of either remembering it myself or the person I'm communicating with remembering it. It seems more "realistic" that way. And a bit more "fair" not to go running to Google for everything.
