  1. @ProfD My parents always said that having children is a joy unlike any other... they both helped many children, not their own by blood... I can't answer your question. I think for some no, for some yes.
  2. @ProfD did you mean to ask the following: Would life be any worse if they chose not to procreate? I apologize, I realized late, I meant to type, time is irrelevant. But, the question isn't the existence of the fiscal poor, the question is, based on your publicly stated position, that fiscal poor should not procreate. so if true, then no one fiscal poor throughout human history should procreate, which means you are definitely not born? ahh I like my personal life. Always been loved, always been supported. and all by my own kin. I don't mind coming from the enslaved/fiscal poor/bereft of hope... I rather honor a set /a selection of my forebears. ... just to explain, like all DOSers i have some white european forebears, so I can't look to honor all my forebears.
  3. @ProfD Well, I treat each government in humanity individually. China isn't the usa, the usa isn't nigeria, nigeria isn't bolivia. governments have alliances or agreements but those ties can be changed or manipulated... I don't have an issue with any system in the usa because in my view, the usa is what it always was starting from european colonies and always will be, a country composed of various peoples who are dysfunctional as groups with nothing in common in an integrated chaos led by individuals continually funneled in by immigration from various peoples outside the usa who keep it afloat with their individuality in various arenas from government to finance. To rephase, a potent shithole of individuals. Benjamin Franklin who published join or die begged england to bend a little to keep the colonies in the english empire. Thomas Jefferson alone wrote the declaration while he and all of his peers in private showed total disbelief to everything he wrote. George Wahsington went against nearly all his peers and stepped down voluntarily. James Forten , a black man, was a business owner literally fighting aside white men who felt the 95% of black people enslaved to whites had to stay in that condition. All these show the actions of individuals. If Franklin acted as the group he was apart of he wouldn't had made the newspaper snake, if jefferson acted as the group he was apart of he would never had written the declaration as is, if washington acted as the group he was apart of he would had been kind, if forten acted as the group he was apart of he would have fought against the creation of the usa 100%. But, all of them are individuals. That is the usa system. Faux Community. And you see this consistently all the time in the usa. Individuals using groups , screwing over groups, lying about their intent being best for groups. I only have one issue with the usa or its people and it is in the very declaration of independence, it is lies. I don't like liars , I never have, and I never try to lie. but the usa's individualism loves to lie, breeds liars all over, and that does get to me, admittedly. Outside of that, i am merely speaking the truth to the usa. To answer why I said the following prior, I despise quoting myself, but ... in the following comment https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/12584-do-you-believe-in-first-come-first-serve-in-hiring/#findComment-80731 yes, even as a kid, and while I can tell personal events in my life or sad history before my life, if I am blunt, I just don't care for the USA. In my mind I think, it makes sense that some black descneded of enslaved will not like the usa in their blood. Absent proof, even spiritual proof, it makes sense a little bit.
  4. @ProfD Yeah, black people been mostly, over 95%, fiscally poor their entire history in the usa or the european colonies that preceded, based on the logic you just used, ninety five percent of black people in 1865 should had never had a child. Time is relevant, fiscal poverty doesn't have a time limit in being true so... you agree you shouldn't had been born, because if you are a black descended of enslaved, then your forebears fit the exact category of people whom you say should get themselves fixed. @admin i am 100% sure the real numbers are worse. ahhh NYC isn't hard and unforgiving, why do people in usa keep trying to soften the ineptitude of the country. NYC isn't hard and unforgiving, it simply is mismanaged in government while infested with charlatan cheater fiscal operators for hundreds of years, longer than the usa was in existence. please help me to comprehend. If the code is already present and placing the code in your server was easily doable, then you must have needed to add something to the code and placing it in the server is most convenient with modern computing power. If the code was not already present or the code being placed in wasn't easily doable, then modern computing power allowed you to generate the code needed or place it in the server satisfactory to whatever conventions.
  5. @ProfD who or what determines who is a subject matter expert? better questions... who does profd rely on to determine who is a subject matter expect? how does profd determine who is a subject matter expert? I will speak for myself and say, pieces of paper mean nothing to me in determining if someone is an expert let's jump beyond my relatives, all the black people in the usa who deal with tons of abuses, sometimes leading to death, daily, from law enforcers, from banks, from hospitals. I assume you feel the answer to these abusers is in the court room? So these abusers outside of being penalized after someone takes them to court or just free to continue? not most people win medical malpractice lawsuits let alone as you asserted earlier, most people provide a lawsuit from this little unimportant thing to you called fiscal poverty. why does a track record have to occur? how many errors on a record warrant demeriting? Funny, when a black child steals an apple, black people have no mercy in claiming that child did a wrong above wrongs but a white man with a piece of paper, needs how many strikes before he is outcase as a doctor? what number is it exactly? Or is it a random number? Gardless, most doctors with a track record of failure don't lose their license, and more importantly , in the usa at least, most doctors are allowed at least one failure which goes to my point. qualifications mean nothing when no penalty exist. Are you suggesting the city of new york has a surplus of cash left from its reservoir of losing lawsuit money. You do realize what your saying? I hope you do. Your telling me NYC had 1.5 billion dollars prepared for 2024 for civil litigation, who gave them this money? the federal government has never done anything like that. NYC gets money from new york state which it has to beg for every year, without new york state money new york city is collapsed with no question. Your telling me NY state gave ny city 1.5 billion dollars in preparation:) come on! but ok, if that is your position, just give me a yes or no and be gone https://comptroller.nyc.gov/newsroom/city-paid-1-45b-in-settlements-last-fiscal-year-nyc-comptroller-finds-in-fy-2023-claims-report/ not most, this goes back to the jim crow era, the black populace in the usa from 1865 to 1980 had millions of cases that never went to court based on white terrorism. Millions of cases. I am 100% certain less than one percent of the law enforcers who abused black people at any given year from 1865 to 2026, any year, not one percent of the combined years, less than one percent of any given year. And I extend that to all fiedls. to restate, less than one percent of the incidents of law enforcers who serve white no matter their phenotype, doctors who serve white no matter their phenotype, white owned firms abusing/terrorizing/harming black people were taken to court in any given year from 1865 to 2026. So then from the less than one percent of court cases that even were started by black people against their white abusers in whatever form, then you have the rate of success of court cases which means ten percent of cases had success. Cause white law enforcement/ white medical services /white fiscal firms usually win ninety percent of the time. So, ten percent of less than one percent which is VALUE: if WhiteTerror ~ to millions of incidents of terror by white to blacks per year VLAUE= (WhiteTerror/.99/10) Your correct, it is some, the question then is, to any black person, is that some something you respect or view positively or not. I view it as feces, you view it as something to be noted. ok, even enough A logic people like you keep saying makes no sense to people like me, you keep touting greed as a negative element in fiscal capitalsim, when by default greed is inherent. Greed has nothing to do with it. The fiscally successful business is greedy. The fiscally ruinous business is greedy. It is quality and the point is, a failing business is not a sign of positive quality. By your words, a firm failing or succeeding is not a measure of quality. Because someone you deem qualified no matter what results you can't delete your deeming, cause you consider the results of their actions never warranting declassficiation or dequalification. That is dysfunctional to me, but ok. Are you saying that those you label amateur are not qualified and those you label pros are qualified? the issue here is qualification . You have now added two terms that in my mind have nothing to do with qualification. I don't know everything that happens in humanity, your right. I can only guess everything that happens in humanity. But I can tell you from all that I have heard, less than one percent of those deemed qualified gets penalty for harming black people in the usa. I promised the following beforehand , I hope everyone in your family get sick in hospitals, hurt by law enforcement and cheated by firms and then tell me about mistakes. That is third term you have added, to me, legitimate/amateur/pros are unrelated terms to qualified or qualification. Legitimate means of the law. The law can't qualify anything outside the law. Quality is a measure of oneself. A law's quality is in the law itself, its results. A doctors quality is in the doctors results. a law enforcers quality is in how they enforce the law. a fiscal firms quality is in their ability to make money/fiscus. Amateur/lover + professional/pros/one who does a thing are misused words in modernity that have nothing to do with their literal intent, it is another linguistic statianism. But one deemed an amateur in modernity is differenced by one deemed a professional in modernity by revenue to labor or scale to profit. But as for the gathering of doctors in the usa, do I think they heal[not just save lives] more than they harm[not just murder]? that is a great question you pose. sadfully, I don't know. I can't give a weight to either side. I know doctors in the usa have harmed and are harming, while also healed and are healing. Belief in this case will require me to give benefit of doubt to the usa or its people and i never have and never will, the majority of people in the usa will always be scum for me.
  6. @Troy When you say AI made this possible, what do you mean? Didn't you have the code? why was AI needed? I imagine all you needed to do was load the frontal code into an aalbc page post and return the backcode onto the server, godaddy. well, we will see what happens. You offer the question. What advantages does modern computing power you plus others label artificial intelligence offer? Are any fiscal? NYC just finally admitted a quarter of its populace is hungry, circa two million and five hundred thousand people are hungry. Don't tell me they all are lazy. The internet whom you say more took advantage of, at the end of the day has three primary industries: sex/retail shopping/influencers , not all people can offer sex or have anything to sell or wish to evangelize themselves enough to be sponsored. https://www.cityandstateny.com/policy/2024/11/1-8-nyc-public-school-kids-was-homeless-last-school-year/401093/ November 18, 2024 The number of students who experienced homelessness in New York City last school year could fill Yankee Stadium nearly three times over. That’s according to a new report [ https://advocatesforchildren.org/policy-resource/student-homelessness-data-2024/ ] released Monday from Advocates for Children of New York, which found over 146,000 public school children – or 1 in every 8 – didn’t have a permanent place to call home during the 2022-2023 school year. Of the over 146,000 students impacted last year, 41% spent time living in city shelters, 54% were doubled up with other families, and 5% were unsheltered or living in cars or hotels, according to the nonprofit’s annual report on New York State Education Department records. That’s a 23% increase from the 2022-2023 school year, spurred in large part by an uptick of students living in shelters. https://ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/news/special-reports/in-the-dark-new-yorks-child-welfare-deaths 26% https://nypost.com/2026/03/16/us-news/nyc-spent-roughly-81k-per-person-on-homeless-services-last-year-comptroller/
  7. @ProfD I would prefer too, all would and will prefer, but the question is what determines qualification? the key is the question of how is qualifications determined? When relatives of mine have been malpracticed on by doctors, what was the penalty to said doctors, who are supposedly qualified because of pieces of paper from columbia and MIT and Johns Hopkins? the answer is nothing. So, your correct, all people want the best healthcare BUT what determines the person who is the best? pieces of paper. Again, the united states of america is a case study on the lack of quality. The Newspapers reporters or owners are clearly lacking in quality because Hospitals have daily malpractice suits, from supposed qualified folk , supposedly trained to be the best doctors Law Enforcement agencies have mounds of domestic violence or domestic abuse claims unattended from supposedly qualified folk, supposedly trained to be the best law enforcers. Billion Dollar firms in the usa continually are bankrupt and need saving administered by supposedly qualified folk, supposedly trained to be the best business operators or lawyers. The Newspapers will put on page one when a black child steals an apple or a black adult holds a knife. But medical malpractice in the united states of america has always been rampant, and always protected from negative public opinion by media. And medical malpractice occurs from those supposedly qualified so... where is their demerit? how are they then unqualified? Don't tell me a doctor that has medical malpractice is still qualified. And for anyone who feels doctors have earned the right of mistake, well I want you to lose someone you love right now and then tell me how you feel. Law Enforcement costs the usa billions in civil court because of law enforcers committing crimes. PEople talk about city budget but the NYPD has cost NYC since the 1970s billions of dollars in civil court. And, lets not go into the fact that the NYPD alone has a much longer history of criminal activity that it was completely protected from. So , do their badges burn when their fail in quality? How do they remain qualified ? When the entire banking industry went bankrupt in the united states of america filled with massachusetts of institute of technology graduates, doesn't that mean MIT's teaching qualifications or Goldman Sach's and simila firms accounting qualifications are proven false? Don't tell me it was their plan to go bankrupt and beg for money worse than any black woman on welfare ever did, or as well as white women on welfare have. Yes, people learning online may be no better as doctors or law enforcers or corporate executive officers but if they are learning from what is given in a short time, how is that worse than people supposedly trained to be the best whom have already shown a lack of quality and lost any admission of qualification if honest? I don't sense penalty in the usa for those who are supposedly qualified to do anything, whether it is failing elected officials, failing corporate executive officers, failing doctors , failing law enforcers all of whom are plenty in modern day , 2026 , usa. So maybe first come first serve as a penalty for proving oneself unqualified is the answer.

My parents never suggested parental success is some mandatory, the key is to try, but failure is an option, a failing parent doesn't mean a malintentioned one. again, my enslaved forebears who were born and died enslaved to some white person weren't malintentioned because they had children. Their descendents first not legally enslaved while in jim crow were not malintentioned by having children absent any financial opportunity. The one thing I don't know is where do black folk like you get the "don't warrant having children" philosophy from? I have read many things of black people in the 1800s, I don't recall any thing like that. The only people saying black people shouldn't have kids in the usa in the 1800s is whites who didn't want black people to have kids cause they dislike /hate/some negative black people. Who was the earliest black leader to push the narrative you and quite a few other blacks I have heard offline or online say? 03192026 https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/12590-your-obligation-to-aalbc/#findComment-80771 osted just now @ProfD 3 hours ago, ProfD said: Irresponsible is the more appropriate word for people bringing children into the world & unable to provide for & protect them. well fiscally poor people are not irresponsible for bringing children in this world, the simple truth is some fiscally poor people never have the ability to raise their children, no matter how hard they try. 3 hours ago, ProfD said: There is no "don't warrant having children" philosophy or movement. Maybe there isn't but I have doubts, too many black people I have heard offline speak of fiscally poor people, especially black people ... being irresponsible having children... One day when I get time I will research and find the source in the usa , cause most of the black people I can think of in the past who said the point in question, were black church folk or old black money in the usa, black people who were rich from the 1800s , and the rest is trickling from either source. 03192026 https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/12590-your-obligation-to-aalbc/#findComment-80775 osted just now @ProfD contraception comes in many forms and the only free contraception i know of is abstinence, which has always existed, but again, if humanity abided by your stated action then humanity wouldn't exist today. A species murdering themselves is the most unnatural thing for any species to do. To rephrase, all children of earth procreate, trees make babies in trashheaps, fish make babies in dirty streams, birds make babies under toxic air. humans like all other children of earth make babies under all sorts of circumstances and are not irresponsible for failing as a parent. PArt of maturity of any living being is comprehending this anceint truth and to think opposite is foolish.
  15. @Chevdove he has spent his five minutes of fame money well. He is in the education circuit. from dont' worry be happy to now. Not disppeared at all, i have seen him in various scholastic settings. when one is in the entertainment world but doesn't act to be clicked... the newspaper and media outlets show their poor quality. yeah, everybody loves his style:)
  16. @Pioneer1 my pleasure, check out more films and content https://aalbc.com/tc/events/event/677-oscar-devereaux-micheaux-books-plus-films/ @Troy ah cool:) some of the elements of within our gates are still rare to see. a black character who is publicly antiblack and confesses to it with shame before being killed by nonblacks, very rare to see //read/hear today in anything with a budget and getting paid to be made, even among black produced/financed work. the relationship between north and south black regions in the usa, the lead female character does not like the south for multiple reasons and yet still helps the black populace in the south , I recall I mentioned in the past how many fiscally wealthy blacks who live outside the former confederacy have never paid for one person to go to one historical black college or universtiy (HBCU) even demanded all the people they have paid college for get money only if they go to a hbcu.
  17. @Pioneer1 I have relatives who were alive during that time, most of those jobs went to whites though blacks did get some and considering black hiring in the private sector which was corretly 99% white didn't hire blacks, that action from FDR was huge for black people in the arena of labor. @ProfD hmmm, qualification standards in labor in the united states of america has two historic problems, which are still relevant in modernity. 1) qualifications being met rarely equate to the quality of performance by one in a job. for example, many lawyers or engineers exists in the usa , to fit in any demographic category, and yet, the judgable performance of lawyers/elected officials who are mostly lawyers/corporate executive officiers who are mostly lawyers/engineers/the ceos who are engineers through private practices, laws made in government, publicly traded firms products or operations are very poor in the united states of america. The proof that qualifications being met don't relate to quality in the job is throughout the usa in many examples. 2)qualifications rarely matter to the acquisition of a job. I don't need to remind anybody not white or male that only from 1980 onward has a majority of jobs in the usa been remotely possible for someone not white male christian to acquire. I can tell you from my own parents how many jobs they were denied for being black. They fit all of those stated qualifications and it didn't mean a damn thing cause the person in charge of hiring, whether they admitted it or not, was looking for someone white, and probably a friend or relative, in opposition to caring about stated qualifications for whatever labor they offer. So I comprehend your desire to have first come first serve attached to some qualification, assuming the qualification can be made even which... is doubtful. But, qualifications to be blunt, is another form of gatekeeping on job opportunities, which straightly impedes the goal of getting jobs moving. Now maybe you are arguing that the qualifications set for most jobs in the usa are erroneous or negative or imbalanced to the jobs in question. But that goes back to the lack of quality to whomever is in charge or the labor opportunities. Meeting halfway, I think a better thing isn't to have qualifications , but to have more well defined probationary periods, not one period but periods. MEaning most jobs have an unwritten probationary period or a probationary period that is unchallenging. I argue, all jobs expose what you know or don't know, what skills you have or don't have , to perform the task any job need. For example, a brain surgeon, instead of a degree or doctor of philosophy from the massachuestts institute of technology, what if a first probationary period determing whether you are a decent doctor is key? do you know how to fill out forms, handle cuts bruises, handle emergency situations with many injured, speak to the ill plus their loving ones. if you show you do then you go to the next tier. in the next tier, can you stitch a stomach wound, scan perform an invasive procedure in the arm.
  18. Ditto @Pioneer1 I didn't know of Huria @Troy thanks for sharing
  19. @Pioneer1 In my experience most Black women don't have naturally light hair. so they would never need to dye it a dark color. In contrast i find many white women tend to have natural light hair and they dye it dark colors. I can't recall a Black Entertainer with naturally lighter hair. Black to dark Brown is the usual colors for Black entertainers. You are not wrong that conditioning exist, this is undeniably true. BUT, you hint at a greater challenge. I live in NYC , has more black women than any other city in the united states of america. If someone asks me what hairstyle do most black women have. I argue, a majority of black women in NYC today of younger generations have natural styles. And black women in nYC of older generations have a fifty /fifty natural to unnatural. Now, You mention a consistent campaign but when does this end? are you speaking of an eternal campaign? why do I ask? don't forget you live in the usa. There isn't a populace/peoples/group in the usa today that doesn't have many individuals in it who don't adhere to some code of appearance or conduct. Many people whose parents: don't speak english , don't speak spanish; dance the rumba; don't dance forms from latin america; are of asian descent, have been adopted by white europeans and barely know any asians. ... my point. If you are looking for 100% like another member of aalbc, or maybe yourself when it comes to black crime, then you can forget it in the united states of america. In my experience most black people desire being of some black tribe, in appearance, heritage, culture. But, not 100% and in my view, what your complaining about is the lack of 100% which I oppose. Pioneer you will always see black people who are white-philes in the usa, ALWAYS. But Black people have always been majority in love with being Black. I think black people like you love to cry emergency with the mere existence of black people who act as you feel they should not, even though said black folk have always been a minority in the black populace.

  22. @Pioneer1 what if the influencer is the freedom of a woman to do whatever she wants with out having to worry about any penalty ? who is going to deny them their freedom to do what they want? what can deny them the freedom to do what they want?
  23. @aka Contrarian I am with you 100% Do I think jesse jackson spoke false ? no BUT I concur to your point that if you want no commercialization then make the funeral private and if you want a more public aspect, for jesse jackson was famous, known, then you need to have greater control over what happens plus over how what happens in the schedule. I concur to you. If you open the possibility for behavior you don't want at an event you control, then when the behavior you don't want happens you are partially and arguably mostly to blame. If Jesse jackson junior would had began mentioning where the jackson clan, or whomever was in control went wrong, that would had made his speech not only truthful but even. @Pioneer1 i have to ask a simple question. who will enforce the black laws? you?:) you talk of law enforcement with white laws so i assume someone will enforce the black laws:)
  24. For years I have tried to get a screenplay from Micheaux. I know he made books but most of his books are very old, in expensive collections and have only been photocopied, not transcribed, and if transcribed the stories are in other works. But the betrayal is the only access to a screenplay I am aware of Here is the extended page https://aalbc.com/tc/events/event/677-oscar-devereaux-micheaux-books-plus-films/
