The Legal Definition of 'A MASS SHOOTING' Now I understand the 'legal' definition of a MASS SHOOTING. Prior to this video that came up on my channel, I did not agree with recent reports of mass shootings when only two or three people had been victimized. But in this video it was explained that our laws dictate how a mass shooting is defined. There is a recent and very sad event that occurred and although I do not know all of the details, it has caused some people to be angry. The video [of which I refuse to watch the graphic parts of it] appears to show the a young man who initially had a gun, but when he saw the police, he threw the gun away, however, the police shot him anyway. They shot him multiple times. And, other people were apparently also shot.

Okay, I'm scratching my head! @Pioneer1 Please put a timeline to what you are talking about. Your version of 'Moses' is not Biblical. The Exodus occurred after 400+ years of 'hard bondage', and not about mountain people, savage people eating raw meat up in the mountains. They were not in the mountains. Egypt is not in the mountains. I know you speak about these mountain people Pioneer but you know, I do not refer to that. This post is so enlightening! I believe Dr. Daniel spoke truth when he referenced that the laws of Ma'at came thousands of years before the Ten Commandments. What I hope too that people hear is when he said that there needs to be accountability when the few police attack and shoot unarmed Black people. I just saw another recent news report about this very horror. But, I also hope that we also show accountability regarding why, after thousands of years the land of the Egyptians was indeed stolen. Today, the people that are 'the Egyptians that are in control of that land' do not look like the Egyptians who wrote the 42 laws of Ma'at.

@Pioneer1 Me too! It would be great to get credit during my lifetime, however, I believe that the primary source of which I love to research has been perfected that my research doesn't even compare. No matter what I write, I feel that the hidden truth scripted in the past is bound to surface sooner or later, and I just hope to be recognized as being a positive part of the whole.

@Troy So happy to see all of the 42 proverbs! Man! It is like the Ten Commandments!

Yes! Next Year! @Cynique Have a great B-day!

@ProfD LOL Keep going... Now I see HOT PINK hair, GREEN hair, Blue hair, etc. In the past, I only saw these kinds of WIGS during the Halloween season and in specialty shops where halloween costumes were sold during the season. Now, it is like, status quo style. People are going to work in office environments with these hair and wig styles. For now, the hair styles are bone straight for the most part, and I wonder if people will start wearing hot pink afros or bright green afro wigs. Times have changed. Yes, I could imagine that is looked natural. That's why I posted the pics of Black children with naturally blonde hair. But the horse hair wigs do not look natural, imo. @Delano @Pioneer1In Africa too!

@Pioneer1 This is an afterthought. I love your comment and it has been resurfacing in my mind. One of the reasons why I love sharing my research in this community that revolves around BLACK BOOKS and forum though is because my research is not received in the White Supremacist environment of our western civilization! So even though I agree with you in that my research will float down to the bottom of the page and disappear due to a lack of understanding my many Black people, however, I strongly believe that my research will resurface eventually because OF THE SOURCE. This kind of hidden history has been deliberately suppressed and I can see that it is drawing some 'secret hostility' especially on the subject of THE SLAVE SHIP ERA. Many White Supremacist loathe this issue and try to white wash this horrible period by saying that White people too have been slaves. OH BUT NO!!! LOL. THEY CAN'T SAY THAT ABOUT THE SLAVE SHIP TRADE--at least NOT NOW! LOL Imagine seeing a movie with White men in chains being forced into slave ships, lying closely packed, naked, in the bottom of the ships. Imagine seeing actors like Charleston Heston [late], Richard Gere, Johnny Depp, playing those roles as being Toby, or Kunta Kinte, Fiddler. One day, this may happen in order to stop Black people from seeing how unique this horror really has been. One day you will hear that, it doesn't matter what 'race' the slave ship victims were because we've all been enslaved on slave ships, Irish, Scots, Germans, we've all been through it. Again, thank you so much for your observation! I feel at times that I don't write enough or share enough about my research. It's my passion! Recently, I tried to dig up a bit I researched on ancient Egypt, and now, I am so frustrated because i cannot find it. I wrote the first draft last year and now, I want to edit and post it but cannot find it. It is not easy digging up valid references. But perhaps one day, I hope that our future generation will benefit from it and no matter how this kind of information goes 'unread', I strongly believe that it will resurface one day.

Black Women & Blonde Wigs; What About Black Men? The Origins of It Wongel is fast becoming one of my favorite youtuber to watch. This recent video had me almost in tears from laughing. She revisited this topic because just recently, Kenya passed a new law in which their judges and lawyers are no longer required to wear the colonial wigs. Furthermore, Wongel did brief research of the origins of these ‘blonde’ wigs and powered white wigs that Black African men and women wore in their courtrooms in certain African countries. However, it should be obvious to most of us that the origins of it stems from the colonial movement from Europe due to the early portraits that are depicted in history books of European men that set up the Colonial Empire all over the world. But why blonde though? Why did Black Africans choose blonde or white horsehair wigs? Yes, that right, I said ‘horsehair’; the wigs were made out of horsehair. But why not wear black wigs like some of the Colonial Frenchmen wore? From a scientific Point-of-View, and even though the world has become obsessed with European traits and therefore associate blond hair as such, ironically though, blond hair stems from a Black African origin. Nevertheless, many African people do not like these wigs and feel that the huge amount of money spent on getting them from Europe could be put to better use.

I agree. CRT cannot nullify true historical events therefore, that teacher could have fought back and probably won.

Very sorry to here this. What mockery, he interviewed you because you were obviously qualified and deserved the interview but then, did not hire you. Even if he did not feel that you were a good fit, he could have referred you to another company or made other efforts to have you be gainfully employed. I know what that feels like. Many AfroAmericans are qualified but have to take lesser paying jobs and are underemployed.

But Oh Gosh! I'm interested. I'm glad this was posted @Delano and @Troy

Thank you @Cyniquefor the check. I will reflect. @Pioneer1 America has done a job on us.

@ProfD Yes, this comment is depressing. Sometimes, I feel like I am crossing my fingers when I go to the doctor. This too is a sad reality. Yes, most of the 'Black' doctors that I've been too are either African or from India.

Nick Johnson Interviews Dr. Daniel Leroche MD, How to Be A Successful Black Man Dr. Daniel Leroche Nick Johnson is awesome. He turned up on my channel yesterday, and initially, I thought his video was going to only cover the subject of a Florida’s rich and poor community, however, Nick has produced his video with an aggressive concentration on issues of racial disparities and he does not back down! He introduces Dr. Leroche at about the 9:40 minute mark of this video and I loved every minute of it! Nick continued to lead the question on ‘racism’ as he interviewed the doctor. Dr. Leroche’s responses were so on point. I have never been to the south of Florida, however the video looks a lot like Central Florida too. Sanford, Fla. And Orlando seems to have the same divides. Nick also has other amazing videos too of areas in the Panhandle and how poor White communities have been impacted with the college beach scenes and how Hurricane Michael changed the dynamics. I love his passion. Nick Johnson

@Delano He knows it! He knows that he has insulted certain people and that he is trying to divide the community. He knows it. True. Even though opportunist seek to divide the community, in some circumstances, the division may turn out to be a good thing because it may cause self reflection and also those who want to be better and to want to build a better Black level of respect amongst each other to strive for it. Well, @Cynique I do think he's condensending. He is not like Greg though. Black communities have always been easy to infiltrate and divide to conquer. White people can walk right up into a Black Barber shop and feel at ease, but it's not the same in other communities.

Thank you much @Pioneer1!!! I remember @richardmurray's telling me I need to write a book and still, I have not gotten the courage to do that yet. However, one of the suggestions years back was that people should join a forum.

Dozens, snappin, cappin, roastin, and joinin... WOW! LOL! Yes, in Virginia, I heard it as 'joinin'. I think it is very distructive though, and again, I think it stems from chattel slavery times. I wish I could remember the book I read, the author was raised in Virginia and he said that this type of 'Joinin' led to gain activity in which they raped women. Exactly! Again, that book that I read pretty much is saying the same thing! I don't understand the transition from 'joinin' to gang raping, but well, the jokes about 'Yo Momma' kind of fits the pattern here.

So true. @ProfD I believe that we have been infiltrated and encouraged to strive for leadership against each other a long time ago and some of us don't want to accept accountability. I strongly believe that both Black men and Black women share the blame for the division. Truth!

@CyniqueI remember that you said you were married, so I know exactly what you mean! I love my husband, but he is NOT perfect and then at times, he tries to lead me... I totally freak out! But then too, I know I am far from perfect. Absolutely @Pioneer1 but the problem is that historically, when it comes to us, have not Black men failed? Yes, and I think this aspect has led us into a downward spiral. Just as the beginning of this thread suggested, "we need to see this struggle as part of our own and start looking back towards each other." -- This should be a collective desire. or vice versa? We had a culture. Every other peoples also formed cultures, but ours was invaded.

I here you @ProfD and I so agree with @Pioneer1 For me, I don't know where I'd place myself on the scale for intellect, but I do believe that this community that @Troystarted is so needed and if people try to come to the table and discuss topics, it can help us to gain better insights from others. I have learned a lot being in this community and hopefully it has improved my intellect and how to have better self discipline and mature in how I engage with others.

@Stefan That is not true and you know it.

Really? How sad. I remember years ago seeing on the internet a competition between Black women and the host was a Black man who stood in the middle to start it and the two women had to take turns, slapping each other as hard as they could until the buzzer. I couldn't believe it. They could really get dangerously hurt doing that. And then, I watched a film documentary too, of Alaskan peoples where it was a common contest in which two men would take turns and punch each other in the head repeatedly and the one who was knocked out lost the competition! So, that 'verbal abuse' game reminds me too of these competitions, but also, I think the verbal abuse game of Black people may stem from slavery times. I remember a comedian, maybe Bernie Mack [the late] said that the word 'MF', you know 'Motha F*ker' stems from that type of verbal abuse from the slave yard where young slave men would rape each others mother. Why can't people just have friendly competitions like this one:

This is the definition of the reference that you posted: the date of a person’s birth, usually expressed as a specific day, month, and year. Stefan, I posted the reference showing that the actual year that Shem was born. So no, the actual birth date, in terms of day and month is not given in the Bible, however I addressed @Pioneer1 comment: "...So there was no actual Ham, Shem, or Japheth..." He believes that the three sons of Noah does not exist. I gave a Biblical reference that shows that Shem was born. So, you are showing SEMANTICS in terms of my reference. The concept is addressing the very issue. The refeence that I am citing for the definition of semantics is this; What is semantics and examples? Semantics is the study of meaning in language. It can be applied to entire texts or to single words. For example, "destination" and "last stop" technically mean the same thing, but students of semantics analyze their subtle shades of meaning. Semantics - Definition, Meaning & Synonyms | Vocabulary.com What are the two types of semantics? Semantics is the study of meaning. There are two types of meaning: conceptual meaning and associative meaning. Linguistics/Semantics - Wikibooks, open books for an open world So, are you saying that I am wrong, in posting the reference of Shem's birth year and his death year to prove that, based on the Bible, Shem was a man that was born on this earth?

LOL. @Stefan Why are you slandering me? How can all ancient Israelites be Black when the Bible says they intermingled with many different kinds of people? The Original 'ancient Israelites' were indeed 'black-African-typed', but even so, that does not mean they were mostly all 'dark skinned'. Color is secondary trait, however, you are so stressed about this topic that you are putting your stress on me and slandering me. The Bible says that they intermingled with many different kinds of people, some that they should have but some they should not have, but that in no way means that some of the negative people they mixed with were either Black or White? That is crazy. It would be truth that ALL ANCIENT and ORIGINAL ISRAELITES were AFRICAN-TYPED, after 400 years of developing their culture in Egypt. They definitely did NOT look like GENTILES, or ASSYRIANS. Yes. That would be crazy. Okay.

@ProfDYou're right. Today, I believe the saying goes that it's 'the Cancel Culture'. I think Ricky Smiley commented on what happened to Kirk Franklin on this wise. Kirk's son ripped him to shreds. But even the Jamaican superstar, Usain Bolt, came out of his retirement to try and say something to Sha'carri about being discreet, and she did not like that!
