This has changed drastically! This government legalizing HOMOSEXUALITY and LESBIANISM has completely changed this focus and now many of the poor and oppressed support this system because of this reason and therefore, they support this system and fight to be apart of this system in that plight. Most people want to be accepted in this system but they are not looking at the economy. Something is happening to the money system. Trade and distribution is a problem and our lawmakers are trying to allocate funds in a way that, if we don't follow the money system, we wont be able to see the bigger picture. The dollar bill is shrinking, IMO.

@Troy LOL I have heard of Minaj and I think she is the one with the pink hair, but, that is all I know about her and I never heard of the other girl except that I read that they had a fight of which was on the titles on the internet. So, I can see why these two girls would be thought as 'leaders' to the Y Generation though. Some of the fads going on today, I thinks is due to selected leadership so, this to me would be 'bad leadership. I just don't understand how 'SAGGIN' could become so common except to say that propaganda byway of certain music celebrities or something has caused it to become common. It is so crazy to me though. I remember it started in the 1980s and I thought it would die out, Oh But NOOOOoooo! When I was in MIddle America in a predominantly Black community, most of the young men were saggin. In Florida this style is common. NOw even a lot of females are Saggin. ....... leadership..... @Pioneer1 No. not at all. It is conditioning based on my research. When you watch the Olympics, it is the Black athletes, both men and women, percentage wise that are at the finish line. Therefore, we have more spirit more power that can be used for good or for bad. We have SOUL. But had it not been for conditioning, the LOVE and SISTERHOOD would be just as intense as the HATE and VIOLENCE amongst Black AfroAmerican women. This conditioning does not start in this government though. The origin of this conditioning goes way back in time. Because they were not first. No one stocked other kinds of women to condition them to be negative like the Black African-typed women have been targeted. That's why. But operating under 'the White House' and trying to build as much wealth and power in this life' can be very misleading too. That to me, is a short sighted vision. To fight back against wrongdoing is important to me and this would include gaining wealth as well. To settle for poverty and getting rich after death is not the focus and this kis not what Christianity in Jesus professes, but that is the White man's version. That is not in the Bible.

Well, I pinpointed certain aspects of this phenomena mainly THE PROTESTING. The photo you presented, I saw that, and I also saw the other reports too but chose not to highlight it for now, concerning the ECONOMICAL aspect of the resort beaches that had a significant impact due to little or no tourist for the recent LABOR DAY WEEKEND. So, even though that beach was 'a bar' and the bar near the condominium was also 'a bar' with dead fishes pictured, I think the people lined up along the beaches and the protests due show that the economy is hit. The rotten smell and the tons and tons of dead fish, is a serious problem. So all in all, this one private beach that may seem misleading doesn't stop the bigger picture.

@Troy Sounds so dreamy, and after visiting some of the beaches in Florida, I can understand how peaceful that beach really is. Florida is surrounded by beaches though. In Central Florida, i can reach both directions in just about less than an hour! Daytona Beach is so awesome. I grew up going to Virginia Beach all of the time when I lived there as a child, but Florida trumps Virginai Beach! However, the cost of living is high in Florida. Man! There are so many oasis where the majority are White people. Therefore, i am wondering why sometimes the news reports seems to not reflect the whole truth as you stated here. Is it propaganda to keep the tourist or certain people away from certain beaches? The Red Tide is not affecting the entire coast, but due to the recent protest, I suspect that it is a significant problem now. That is what I am highlighting. Yes, I agree that, in regards to the global issues, the Red Tide is nothing . . . It is nothing when it is considered singly . . . but in the scheme of the global issues, it may be an economical issue that may become significant, if it continues to happened on a large scale as in 2004 and this year. @Pioneer1 LOL. That one word 'Judgment' and then the other 'Revelations' are words that I try to avoid for certain current events because that kind of conditioning blinds the bigger truth. I tried to highlight the presence of Red Tides as they have been occurring for thousands of years, off and on, in different parts of the globe . . . and I had hoped to show that this phenomena was not the first time occurrence even in ancient Egypt. LOL. That is the kind of conditioning that was by design, therefore, I try not to use this kind of rhetoric. The other main aspects of 'Revelations' in that THERE IS NO FINITE ENDING OF TIMES is deliberately omitted so as to make us ignorant.

Could it be due to Global Warming or Climate Change? Nevertheless, if that were true then, these global warming and change in climate affects would have been part of the cause thousands of years ago as well because the Red Tides today would be the same phenomena of the first plague that Moses described in the Pentateuch that eventually led to the Exodus. However, today we have the benefit of knowing more about these Red Tides that have been occurring from time to time and in different areas of the planet earth. In fact, just two years ago, Florida experienced another Red Tide and it was reported the cause of this was due to Hurricane Matthew that moved up the Florida coast and up further to wreak havoc in the state of North Carolina too. Hurricane Matthew Blamed For Red Tide In Southwest Florida By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS – OCT 13, 2016 http://news.wgcu.org/post/hurricane-matthew-blamed-red-tide-southwest-florida And, although todays’ reports have not stressed a point, in that, there happens to be a pattern that regards certain Red Tides in a connection with other phenomena such as hurricanes. Some reports state that this recent Red Tide in Florida actually began in October or November of 2017. Obviously, it was not until after the Red Tides continued to remain significant months later that it became necessary to give much better news coverage. Therefore, the situation has become so terrible that it also reveals that this particular Red Tide has become much more severe than the one sparked by hurricane Matthew in October 2016. The last episode of Red Tides that was severe in Florida occurred over a decade ago around 2005. So now, with this kind of information and due to my past research, there are some other conclusions that may be important to know. Just as it becomes factual in that high tides are associated with our moon phase, so would be many other phenomena that occur on this planet. Indeed, there are many references in the Holy Bible that show these star associations. One major account was detailed in the Gospel at the time of the Crucifixion of Christ. It was said that there was a TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE that lasted for three (3) hours and from 6:00 PM until 9:00 PM and then immediately afterwards, there was an earthquake. And, as a matter of scientific fact, this description of how certain eclipses can spark other phenomena such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcano eruptions has been common knowledge in the scientific world for thousands of years. So why then do we not learn about these wonders in school!? However, because part of understanding science would be byway of observation so, maybe we can learn something today on this wise. Even though a possible correlation has not been widely broadcasted that regards the extensive Florida Red Tide in 2005, though, on December 26, 2004, there was a catastrophic underwater earthquake that set off a massive tsunami near Indonesia upon which it was reported that the entire earth was affected. That next year in August 2005 came the category 5 hurricane Katrina. Could these events be connected as sort of a chain reaction that also resulted in the lingering effects of the 2004-5 Red Tide? Although there were other Red Tides that came into the Florida’s coastlines especially in 2011, 2014, and 2016, however, the Red Tide today, brings to mind the 2004-5 Red Tide that was also persistent and lasted for several months. The devastating outcome of this present hurricane Florence that brings epic flooding to the state of Florida, though, did not come near to Florida as opposed to the 2016 hurricane Matthew that moved up from Florida into North Carolina. As for the Red Tide presently, what has been left out of the reports would be that if it began in October of 2017, then it did so just after a major celestial event did occur. On August 21, 2017, THE GREAT AMERICAN TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE crossed over America. And it was almost immediately after this three (3) hour long phenomena occurred that there were at least three intense hurricanes stirred up from a tropical depression directly because of this incredible eclipse. Hurricane Harvey made landfall in and around Houston, Texas and shortly thereafter in September, Hurricane Irma made its way into Florida not long after it was said to have demolished the island of Puerto Rico. Around that same time span too, there was a special type of planetary alignment that occurred in the month of September as well. So therefore, it seems like this widespread Red Tide actually began to appear on the Florida coastlines because of hurricane Irma and the other planetary events that occurred leading up to this hurricane. Just as it has been in the distant past, natural phenomena can set off a domino effect of other events to occur but that does not mean it will be the very next day! For instance, a planetary alignment could trigger an earthquake immediately afterwards and also, simultaneously trigger another series of celestial events that may not occur for years and years to come! The ancient Egyptian priest-scientist, Imhotep, and others knew how to predict events to occur even long past their lifetime. Over the past centuries and before, there have been global and planetary patterns that are studied and this kind of science helps to prepare humanity to obtain a better quality of life. So therefore, the information of these Red Tides in how it was detailed thousands of years ago by Moses could be beneficial to know, but for some strange reason, our scientist avoids this correlation as if it is – a plague! But then too, due to other recent events happening in the political arena of Florida and America, these Red Tides, could lead to just that--- a correlation to Moses---and our government may have chosen to keep this kind of association civil conflict that surrounded the Biblical account of Passover quiet. Just the idea that some of the Haitians, Afro-Caribbean and African American descendants of Slaves could possibly have any connection to Moses, sounds remote based on our education and classification here, but then HEY—It could very well be the Elephant in the Room.

Ah! That is the question. @Delano @Troy These are my thoughts. I don't believe that people, as a whole, will ever follow the same leader. And, I believe that some people have a unique appeal and draw many people to them and become leaders, but not everyone will follow. I consider myself 'a good follower'. I don't choose to be a leader and feel that I am an awesome 'supporter' and have well thought out ideas, that could be a benefit to others who may have the similar ideas as myself and are better suited to be leaders.

@Pioneer1 I think that this is the key phrase that goes much deeper than 'this society' that you said has been the cause for shaping us in an unnatural way. And I think this connect to you more recent thread in tht you might be 'changing' your beliefs. You discussed how AfroAmerican women fight each other by choice. Here you say, it is 'a conditioning' and that this society forced this behavior upon many of us. Again too, as I said, I agree here in tht it is 'a conditioning' that stems from how we have been shaped by this system. Our foundation here stems from 'children' that were enslaved. But then I also believe that we need to go back prior to this system being able to set up and dominate us and think about how it came to be that our 'adult' ancestors, prior to slavery, fell prey to this kind of domination. And by this process, I believe that Black AfroAmerican women do not only fight and are dominant, but some of us are DEFENSIVE more so. And this defensive position is misunderstood for being dominant and forceful. We 'attack' Black men sometimes DEFENSIVELY and due to feeling vulnerable and disrespected and then sometimes out of being disrespectful as well and not trying to understand their plight. Also, some of us are CONFIDENT and have KNOWLEDGE OF SELF and this too is wrongfully being defined as DOMINANT. I believe that yes, many of us do feel vulnerable and do not have the protection from our men kind regarding, but this is not solely due to men. I think there is more to this vulnerability tht stems from much more. However, 'submissiveness' or 'passive' is not the answer to a balance, at least, not for me. To always feel you have to be DEFENSIVE is not good either. But I believe that when a RESPONSIBLE Black woman has ‘knowledge of self’, which includes knowing that she has the right to be, to have, to desire, … to be treated with love and respect as a positive asset to humanity then, she will not be submissive. I did not know that. Now that, to me, is unnatural. I know that is a significant belief system in the past. I think the term 'Epicureanism' may stem from this belief; The idea of 'living it up' and indulging in the search for self-gratification here and now. But, I cannot, for the life of me, understand how Black AfroAmericans being in a suppressive government like this would believe that this would be the extent of our life 'as a group'. If this is all that life has to offer me, then, there has got to be more, either now or in the future.

@Pioneer1 WOW. Not the main reason!? Do you really believe that they 'LIKE TO FIGHT' or what about looking at this from another point-of-view. You don't consider that they have been conditioned to feel that is what they are supposed to do? fight each other. But again, I have another point-of-view in that 'the grass may not be as green on the other side as you may believe it is. YES! I can relate to this! But @Pioneer1 again, I try to look at this objectively and from other perspectives. When I read and watch documentaries about other countries like the East Indians, Asians and etc. and I see the ones that chose to leave their country and come to live in American, I see other issues too. Many foreign people leave their country of origin and immigrate to Canada or Europe or America to have better opportunities. And I try to look at 'the Big House' meaning, the government. This government has a foundation in 'conditioning' African Americans from the slaveyard and that is a repetitive process that has occurred in history before. We represent the outcome today, of what the government intended in order to remain on top. So, I try not to focus on the negative Blacks but I try to focus on those that are positive. You know you sound like Jesse Lee Peterson. I become very frustrated too, but the problem begins with this government and their slave system of which lasted for hundreds of years. Unfortunately, many will never rise above this conditioning, but to give the supremacist movement 'a pass' would be a mistake.

Uhhhh . . . @Cynique ... @Pioneer1What does reading your crap have to do with intellectual ability?? I'm not going anywhere. ... @Pioneer1... My night is just beginning. But don't let that keep you from crawling under your covers and playing with your teenie-weenie, - if you can find it. LOL For Real though . . . Let's Regroup . . .

@Troy You know, I can see another view point now, based on what you are posting. I may not be able to express it completely now though, but I am now thinking about this aspect; Colin reacts to wrongdoings against Black people and then he loses his career, then at a low point, in steps................ NIKE................. NOw, the situation shifts. It shifts to sports and being the best you can be, and the original issue is not the forefront of NIKE, and Colin is now supporting another cause, and he is getting paid. And this Nike scheme, can actually be viewed as sort of like MOcKING all of us, as a whole, now, I ask myself, Does the Nike people care about Blacks getting killed by the George Zimmermanns, or cops, or for their shoes..... NOPE.

@Troy I see your point in that Nike is exploiting 'a cause' through the efforts of Colin. I support Colin, apart from Nike though. I support Colin because of his stance against the violence towards AfroAmericans. And, what about what I read previously in this thread, I think, about the police men too, who are in support of upholding the good standards of the police departments? I realize there are a lot of people 'piggy backing' on what Colin and others have done though. Earlier, you responded to me about getting a better Podiatrist, instead of buying a pair of store bought shoes to manage my feet injury. Well, that is also a challenge that includes the Medical Insurance. I actually have been dealing with this issue since about 2003, again as I said, due to a job injury. At that time, I had better medical insurance, and went to at least 4 different specialist such as Orthooedics and podiatrist and they took my money and I received no relief. No medical relief at all. I can't even get a permanent handicap sticker. Yet, I see mainly White women getting out of their cars from handicap parking lots and walking as if they have no problem at all. They fired me from that job back in 2006, even though I had the top rate Orthopedic testify and say that I was injured on the job. So now, I have to deal with a 'affordable healthcare provdier and it's a night mare. I'm still trying to get relief from going to a doctor's appointment and who charged me $300.00 for an erroneously bloodwork test, that I dedn't need and that was not covered by my insurance. MOre importantly, I had the test done previously, but the doctor claimed that if I didn't go get routine bloodwork at some clinic, that he couldn't give me a simple prescription. So then, even though these NIKE shoes may not be the real answer, that is the best I can do for now.

@Cynique Thank you!

@Troy Yes, this may be the underlying reason. @Mel Hopkins Whew! You know there are so many times I have witnessed scenes where in the case of a customer complaining about an employee that the management will support their own employee, but not when it comes to a Black woman. And the insensitive comment of the quote you put, shows how pampered Europeans can be and how supremacist they are in their viewpoint, when it comes to Black women. @Troy I don't know..... I don't think you would see White women lynched...and so even though Black men have a jump ahead of women across the board for some things, however, not for all things, even with the right to vote.

@Pioneer1 yes, I heard this was done in the Caribbeans in particular areas.

LOL! Oh No... I tried SO HARD not to click this link.... but my curiousity got the better of me. I am trying to not to laugh.... Yall please! LOL!

WHEW!!! Goodness Gracious! I got caught up in this video for hours! LOL. I also clicked another video linked to this one of Aretha singing with Sammy Davis Jr. Unbelievable. Gosh, I wish I could sing like that.

@Troy I was indifferent until I read the rest of the post and others pointing out the Haitian/Japanese opponent Osaka that was depicted in the caricature as a White woman. Granted her hairstyle does have a blonde tip, but the picture was clearly a White woman with blonde hair. So, I think that it was heavy handed in his depiction of Serena. I might be a little biased too, though, because I think Serena is gorgeous. She's so beautiful and she carries herself with 'a right to be unique' and she's stylish. So, I think the depiction is kind of cute, and it depicts her having a tantrum. So even if he meant to demean her, I hope it does continue to backfire. As far as her getting called on showing bad behavior, well, I don't know enough about the rules to comment on that issue. Serean might have to pay that fine.

@Pioneer1 I don't know about that part, but the rest, I do agree. I am not 'what today's definition of a feminist means' but, women do think broadly about family life and sexual relations. My mother is matriarchal. My husband comes from a very dominant. male dominant, background, and we've had to 'duke it out' over the years... LOL...over certain issues. Some women, IMO, will be quiet, if they are dealing with a male dominant man and if they want to bond, for reasons of protection and wealth, they will. But, afterwards, if they are shut out from being 'at the table' on decisions, they will turn you out. And that kind of gender contention is not good for our culture, IMO. Their needs to be a balance. My husband's father's definition of 'family life and sexual relations' really pissed me off, and so, we’ve had some conflicts too before there was peace between us. I eventually admired him because he was willing to listen to my viewpoint and meet me ‘at the table’. He could separate himself from controlling people around him and make solid decisions independently. He was able to view me as a unique person without sizing me up and comparing me to the controlling women around him. I think he was ‘Old World’ in more ways than one. Like me, I think that he was searching for spiritual balance with the opposite gender and I think that is the true test of a lasting relationship between men and women.

@Pioneer1 You are well versed, but not everyone is well versed as you are. But I agree that many of us are well versed to a point, however, we are still, many of us, anyway, --- we are still very conditioned too, by negative influences and this is what is keeping us from knowing what to do about our sad condition. Nevertheless, it has only been about 400 years since the foundation of this government has formed and therefore, our education and 'self education' will pay off if we can see the pattern in the past that shows some vital answers. THE HERE AND NOW! Well here is the issue with this: Although, I have not looked into this recent heresy, but a relative recently told me that there is some country in Africa where the Original AFricans who have the control of their goverment, has passed decrees that have stopped White Africans from dominating land. I think they may have forced them off certain lands. And so, we over here in THE STATES are not going to here much about what is going on over there, but we are being affected by these movements nonetheless. What I hear from Omarosa, may have some truth to it, about some secret retaliation movement of race wars against us,. Therefore, I think we should stay informed as much as we can. Knowledge is power. If gives us a way to make better decisions with regards to our government. Trump made comments about what is going on in Africa, and it would not surprise me if we over here are being victimized, unknowingly, by what the Africans are doing over there. My research tells me that this was going to happen, anyway. They have land over there, and all they have to do is 'come together' and that is what I think has been going on, sort of under the table. Believe it or not, but I believe that is the 'iskra' [ie spark] for the ending of the Cold War and etc. I think it stems from Pan-AFricanism from Sub-Saharan Africans. They got tired of being controlled and they may be banning together. And, so, we are not going to get the truth from here right away, therefore, we need to continue to read and stay informed, because we will be affected, IMO.

There it is! @Troy Thank you! ... and to add to that, I think some Black women subconciously effeminized there sons out of this fear process.

LOL@ This is funny. YOu see that... Are men from Mars and women from Venus?... LOL @Pioneer1 That's cool...

@Pioneer1 I am divided when I read this. I can absolutely understand, AfroAmerican males having a code, and obtaining morals for yourselves, but I dunno, leaving out the input of AfroAmerican woman while you make this code, could end up being probematic. I want my sons to believe that it is vital to regard AfroAmerican females of their generation as being an important part of 'being at the table' because who makes the first impact on the next generation? I tell them that AfroAmerican woman should be allowed to be educated in the higher disciplines along with men too, because they are the ones that initially are in the position to support higher learning in children, as being mothers. Anyway, that is what I did. If I didn't know how to look out for the progams offered, competitive programs, in the educational system, through being trained in college, my sons certainly would have missed being placed in the strategic classrooms. I think women views count in how Black men ought to view us, from a moral aspect too in some regards. I worked at a shipyard and so, no, I don't want to be around a group of men in certain situations though, but that doesn't mean that i should be allowed to be part of certain decision making codes of moral and etc.

Guest Queen X, yes I agree. It made things look worse. @Pioneer1 In my observation, I don't run across too many 'brothers' that attempt to tear down a brother in order to bond with a woman, in the same way that other kinds of men do. But Black men will do it though, just NOT in the same way that other men do. My experiences is that other men, will point out how Black men disrespect Black women, and yes, it is to 'get with the sista'...
