Unfortunately, too many parents are using entertainment to babysit and raise their children. But, that's a different thread topic.
okay, so I'm off topic.
But yes, I agree with this comment.

Still waiting for an example.
Let me make this clear again, I said RACISM not discrimination. RACISM is what im talking about
@Dr Francis Welsin After reading @nels comment, I feel that I am understanding your question better. No, I don't know how to respond to this question completely, but now, I have a better idea of how to better understand.
When I think of 'RACISM', and black Americans, I think of power and money which is a tool used by a racist group in order to control another group. black Americans do not have that kind of status to fully define the concept of racism against a group of non-black people. But can blacks be racist towards each other?

If your black child looks at every white person as a racist suspect then you have successfully taught them about racism. If your black child looks at a white person and believes its "not all of them" then you have done a poor job.
Oh Wow! I strongly believe that racism is a reality, however, I do not agree with you completely.

I teach my children to embrace their black culture, however I want them to appreciate humanity. I do hope they marry black, though.

The only thing that I would add is the way that people dress.
I'm not trying to scrutinize your list, this has been a pet peeve
of mine for awhile now.
You have grown men walking around with their pants hanging
down, exposing their underwear to past their behind. This
nonsense has been going on for around forty years now.
Me too. It's pet peeve of mine as well. I have a brief story on this point;
I constantly spoke to my sons about the negative style of saggin pants and how it began as a trend decades back. They both made it through high school and never did I have to deal with that style and felt like a proud parent. I would continue to encourage my sons as they both went off to college to not sag and one day when my younger son came home for college break from MIT, we pulled up to the gas station and I told him how angry I felt at the young men that got out in front of us, saggin. i said to him that I felt that was so disrespectful to do that to their parents and other adults.
It looked so terrible, and some of these black men have on the dirtiest underwear--like they got their clothes from discard. I exclaimed to my son how I was so glad that he did not ever succumb to that ignorance. While I was talking, my son got out of the car to pump the gas and--WHAT DO YOU KNOW!--that little ***** was SAGGIN!
Oh! I threw my head back, jerked the door open and said, "I can't believe you! Pull your pants up!" I was so mad!
So, I feel for our culture today. I don't know what to think sometimes.

Why is black America always complaining about how it feels it’s being treated by other groups, when what it really needs to do first, is get its own house in order?
What is wrong with doing both? I feel that black America is affected positively and negatively by other groups, and we need to consider this issue as well as getting our own house in order.

@Mzuri I am embarrassed to say, but you touched a nerve[!], that I had to learn how to dress appropriately! When I was young, sometimes, I dressed cheaply, not because I didn't have the means to buy classy and appropriate clothes, but I was vain, and was not taught that it was bad taste. Later, I came to realize that too, a lot of clothes in certain stores that seem to cater to ethnic 'more rounded' women were of very cheap quality! I soon stopped going to these stores and learned to look at the actual thread of material.

I feel these institutions need to be reopened.
Yes, @Stefan, this is a great point!
I had forgotten about that subject. I am divided on this issue due to the negative issues that you, in fact, mentioned in how people at times were forced into these institutions and then mistreated.
On 1/21/2022 at 12:25 AM, ProfD said:The prison industrial complex has also become a mental health institution.
Yes. I agree. But why?
Why, I wonder a lot has the prison system linked to so many people with mental illness?
Are people criminalized even though, they are mentally ill, and this issue is being ignored, or is the main problem, that people
become mentally ill due to the prison system?
15 hours ago, daniellegfny said:Let me throw this in to the mix. What are your thoughts on how it applies to the topic?
Good point to consider @daniellegfny. Now, because it seems like this issue of prisoners being released with mental illnesses, it may lead to some politicians looking towards Eugenics as a solution. However, I hope not.
Oh yes, I just read that there was another incident in which a man was pushed into an oncoming subway! Gratefully, that man was able to climb out before the subway came.
The suspect is at large. He supposedly ran off after he did the crime. Nevertheless, what kind of person would do such a thing!? It seems like another case of mental illness.

How are you the original Hebrew Israelites when your ancestors came from various ethnic groups in Africa?
LOL Well there you go! So you know about the origins and ethnicity of the Original Hebrew Israelites in association with Africa!
On 1/21/2022 at 5:43 AM, Guest The Magi who created god said:It’s really pathetic that some African Americans are trying to adopt Jewish fairy tales and allegorical nonsense as their ancestral roots.
African Americans are descendants of SLAVE CHILDREN, and we endure a lot of mockery from our oppressors with this sick fable nonsense that you speak of despite the historical basis of ancient writings in their origins in Africa.
On 1/21/2022 at 5:43 AM, Guest The Magi who created god said:You African Americans are not “original Hebrew Israelites”,
What's it to you--you jealous sprite?
Stick to the script. Argue and debate from script not from your stupid fable nonsense.
No, not all AA are from those people, however as the ancient scripts have come to prove, many of AA are indeed.

This is a recent news story about two women that were murdered. These stories made me reflect on a few recent comments in this community about prisoners being released and having the freedom to go into Black communities. I recall @Pioneer1's viewpoints on this subject. I also recently read a few days ago that the past president Trump's program has led to a recent release of thousands of prisoners. This story that I have just read is about a young lady that was working in a furniture store, and she was murdered. A suspect has been arrested and he is a Black man who was said to have had a long criminal record across many states. Then another young lady was recently murdered when she was pushed into a subway and the man, another Black man, was said to be mentally ill. I am so sorry for the deaths of these women. And, I am also concerned, to say the least, about criminals being released into Black communities as well.
In this clip, it is mentioned too, how the response differs when the victims are in upscale communities versus lower class communities.

Background[edit]
The song was recorded on 11 August 2019, and after being posted on social media, it received positive responses from fans. Master KG said he called "his sister Nomcebo to come so we can finish the song".... The official music video was released on 21 December 2019.[7] After it went viral,...
Composition[edit]
Although it has "religious-leaning" lyrics, "Jerusalema" is an upbeat[9] disco-house track[5][11][12] containing "deep", "spiritual",[13] gospel lyrics.[14][15] Lyrically, as noted by OkayAfrica's Rufaro Samanga, "it speaks about Jerusalem being the home of many religious believers". The remix sees Burna Boy incorporating his signature Afrobeats style,[9] singing part of his verse in isiZulu, while emphasizing the unity of African artists.[15]

hey may be intelligent in discreet areas but there is nothing intelligent about faith or thinking jesus is an historical.
People believe more in the historical records about the reality of Julius Ceasar and Octavian than they do the presence of Black Africans like Jesus Christ and his disciples and other Hebrew Israelites that have a history in that very country and at the same time. That is mind control.
On 12/31/2021 at 6:00 AM, Guest The Magi who created god said:His stories are convoluted and far fetched enough to be considered as the fables that they are.
The presence of oppressed Negroes during the Roman Empire times is no fable. smh.
On 12/31/2021 at 6:00 AM, Guest The Magi who created god said:he properly mentally conquered black people love that white Jesus which is nothing but the worship of the image of a white man as god. That is beyond stupid, and if all these “intelligent” black people can’t see that, their intelligence must be a source of amusement to the whites they worship.
Well, don't discount Black people as being stupid without accepting true history in that, Black American Descendant of SLAVE CHILDREN were indeed mis-educated like you, in that WHITE JESUS LIE. You too, seem to be miseducated in the real truth about how this WHITE JESUS LIE has evolved.
Black people are not that stupid, we just descend from slave children being taught lies while under chattel slavery for hundreds of years. Hopefully, some of us will learn to read history for ourselves and then come out of that kind of deception.
You believe that Jesus and his Hebrew Israelites revolve around fables, but thankfully, the massive continent of Africa has many African leaders and millions of African people that do believe in the Original Hebrew Israelites and the true records about Jesus.

Barbados to build new slavery museum after severing ties with Britain
elebrated architect David Adjaye is to design a major new heritage site in Barbados, the country's prime minister has announced. The new site on the Caribbean island will lie next to a burial ground where the bodies of 570 West African victims of British transatlantic slavery were discovered.

david adjaye forms barbados heritage district+memorial to western slavery (designboom.com)
Barbados was the birthplace of British slave society and the most ruthlessly colonized
by Britain’s ruling elites. They made their fortunes from sugar produced by an enslaved,
“disposable” workforce, and this great wealth secured Britain’s place as an imperial
superpower and cause untold suffering.

I hope to learn more about Barbados. I only recently learned that my ancestor was brought to this island, initially after being stolen from Africa.
She was about six years old when she was first stolen and then seven when she arrived in North America, along with a Barbados slave family.
She gave birth to her first offspring at the age of eight years old and then her second was at the age of ten years old.

I happen to know several very intelligent black people who look to Jesus as a real historical person who taught that he was the only way to heaven. These people aren't stupid morons at all. They are kind and compassionate and live their lives trying to follow Jesus' example of love.
Yes. Exactly! And, I would like to add though that the AGAPE Love the Bible speaks of includes the WHOLE TRUTH.
Jesus is the Truth, the Way and the Light.
On 12/22/2021 at 1:12 PM, ProfD said:It's no different from kids believing in Santa Claus.
Ah! I see that you believe that Black people that believe in the historical Jesus is like a fantasy in how children believe that Santa Claus is the one to bring them gifts on December 25 every year. @ProfD
Well, I don't believe in the Santa Claus developed today, however, I do understand the history that surrounds it just as I understand the history that surrounds Jesus Christ.
I do have all hope in the Second Resurrection of Jesus, a man who was executed under the Roman Empire system, even though he was found to be not guilty of any crime that would warrant that kind of governmental death edict. I do believe that Black men today are being executed, whether guilty or not, along the same lines. I have no doubt that Jesus came to deal with this kind of human sacrifice. I don't see any end to the unfair killing of Black people, both men, women [and children] in sight by any human government. I do believe that this kind of evil must be dealt with on a higher realm. But I do acknowledge your metaphor! But Santa Claus does not involve death!

However if your Black or Brown or Asian and you believe in and worship a White Jesus with blonde hair and blue eyes....you're brainwashed and likely contributing the the self destruction of your people.Absolutely!

This is my position. Why is this justified? I don't believe that people should be imprisoned without parole, but to let out a violent criminal into Black communities is a problem.
