I did not get to watch much of the Olympics, but I did here in the news that one of my favorites, Allyson Felix faired very well! Also, another of my all time favorites, the Jamaican track star, Shelly Anne Fraiser-Pryce did well! Her teammate took the gold Herah and is now known as the fastest women on the track field! And she put the propaganda of Sha'carri to rest. A few days later all of the track stars competed in the Prefontaine classic and Sha'carri came in dead last.

Ha! Absolutely. Ha! Well, that does sound crazy, but guess what!? They are saying this in a strange sort of way but yeah, there are many other people who say this about not only King James, but that whole entire family line!!! However, they use other terminology than this group of Hebrew Israelites. Like @Troy I believe the street preaching group use a lot of propaganda to push their message, and like you @Pioneer1 I believe that that group strongly believe in the Bible, however, I also think that we African American DOS have been miseducated and sort of dumbed down about the reality of the presence of the millions and millions of Hebrew Israelites and Jews that have been scattered all over the world. I doubt the late Nipsey Hussle and his family would have much to do with this group of street preachers. Now if they were to be like Nipsey 'Ermias Joseph Asheghdom' and are able to get the attention and financial support of the very president/leader of Eritrea as Nipsey did, then they would become more significant. If they were to get the attention of certain significant governments of the Original Hebrew Israelites in existence today, like the Eritreans and the original Jews who are part of Ethiopian government today, then they would become significant. But right now, most of the Original Hebrew Israelites in the western world are constantly here and in the West Indies, etc. under attack and are too divided to be counted seriously.

lol. Well @Pioneer1 Maybe I am not sure how to answer you as I thought I did. But I will try to explain in another way: Egypt, Ethiopia and Libya were "invented" YES--as a unique NATION in the 19th century, but prior to this time, they were not known as nations, but by other descriptions. In the past, the countries of Egypt, Ethiopia and Libya were defined by other standards and were not carved up to be 'an arm' of the Western Leagues of nations. Their history is way too long to explain as being 'one country' though. "That's not true! The Bible is a compilation of many, many separate books written by different authors over the course of thousands of years" "Two things can be right at the same time. The Bible IS a book..and the Bible is COMPOSED of many different books." Yes, in this case, both are true. Again, 'The Bible' is a compilation of many books written by different authors over the course of thousands of years. The book of REVELATIONS was written by John, the Revelator during the time period of abt A.D. 90 during the Roman Empire times. So, whatever John was educated in script form was the language that he scripted to write his revelations. He definitely would not have written his book in any form of ancient Egyptian script at the time of the Roman Empire! He would not have written his book in any ancient Kemetic script form either. "Finally....a question answered! So the Book of Revelations was NOT written in Egyptian ancient Kemetic script. Now we're getting somewhere." "So are you suggesting that John wrote the book of Revelations in Greek or Roman?" Yes. WHAT!??? LOL! "Yes. The Bible contains about 27 books of the New Testament. If was dated back to the Exodus as you claim...that means that the New Testament books would have had to have been written atleast that far back too." No. the authors of the New Testament did not live that far back in time. Oh! That is the problem with using only one reference source! "Well right now I'm using YOU as a reference....what is YOUR definition of "Bible"??? And can you please show me or give me a link to what YOU are calling "The Bible"." Okay, I will look for a link. But my definition of 'Bible' would pertain to the root word of it, 'BIB' which refers to 'LIFE', like the word BIBLIOGRAPHY. The Bible is 'a Book of Life' and also define within it contexts as THE WORD OF THE LIVING GOD. It is also a compilation of the Word of God byway of the prophets of God of whom through divine inspiration wrote. And it has been translated out of the original tongue and languages into the languages used at perspective times. Finally, IMO, the only translations that matter would be the ones authorized by the head government because it will be that government that God will judge for their works by the Word of God at the third and fourth generation. Like, Egypt was judged, the empire governments were judged, therefore, this government will ultimately be judged based on the KJV because that was the translated version appointed under that government. however, the Bible is a compilation of many, many separate books written by different authors over the course of thousands of years. For example Solomon wrote the Book of Eccleisiates [sp?] and he lived during the 900s bc. It is a separate book. Then Jeremiah wrote his books over a hundred years later after Solomon; I think he wrote his book abt 700s BC. Then Nehemiah wrote his book over a hundred years later after Jeremiah, I think abt 400s BC during the Persian Empire times, etc. ???? Well how do you reconcile THAT statement you just made with the one you made on Posted July 23: Again, the Bible was dated at the time of the EXODUS abt 1400s BC; it was written in the Egyptian script and language of that time period NOT European. Which is it? Was the Bible written over thousands of years including up to and past 400 BC? Or was it dated at the time of the Exodus of around 1400s BC? The Bible was defined back then in the 1400s BC as 'the Word of God' or 'The Pentateuch' or 'the holy scroll'... That was how it was defined. By the time that the Levites compiled Solomons writings which was after he died, after the 900s BC, 'the Word of God' still may not have been known by the term 'BIBLE', rather it was termed 'THE WORD OF GOD' or 'the Holy Scroll'. Then by the time the Jews were a part of the empire systems, more writings of their ancient priesthood was collected and added to the 'holy scroll' and soon, the writings/books were made into 'SCRIPTURES', so therefore, 'the Bible' became known by other terms such as 'THE HOLY SCRIPTURES' by this time... Now today, we know it as THE BIBLE. Certain Holy Scriptures or Holy Books written by the earliest prophets such as Moses was dated around the 1400s BC, Solomon's books were dated to his lifetime around the 900s BC and so forth. lol

Me either. I did not hear anything about water polo and did not even know it was an olympic sport. But now, I want to find a video of it and watch it. Amazing!

I don't believe I do that. I don't know about that, specifically. I do feel that, again, there is some truth to it though. But I don't believe that drugs have altered the brain to a great degree 'alone'. I feel that there are so many other factors as well, that have been a negative affect on Black people, and some of it has been brought about by our own actions as well.

lol For real. This is terrible.

@Pioneer1 It's about nation building and yes, during the 19th century, 'the countries' in Africa were actually divided up into 'nations'! So, Ethiopia, Egypt and Libya are ancient countries with a lot of history, but during the 19th century the continent of Africa was carved up into nations. No! LOL. That's not true! The Bible is a compilation of many, many separate books written by different authors over the course of thousands of years. Again, 'The Bible' is a compilation of many books written by different authors over the course of thousands of years. The book of REVELATIONS was written by John, the Revelator during the time period of abt A.D. 90 during the Roman Empire times. So, whatever John was educated in script form was the language that he scripted to write his revelations. He definitely would not have written his book in any form of ancient Egyptian script at the time of the Roman Empire! He would not have written his book in any ancient Kemetic script form either. However the other books were written by authors in distinct script formats at the time that they lived. WHAT!??? LOL! @Pioneer1 'Nations' versus 'kingdoms'! African kingdoms... and also other terms like 'African countries' are distinct terms that are used perhaps interchangeably to define different aspects of African history over a long period of time. Yes! YESSSSS! You have refreshed my memory! Oh! That is the problem with using only one reference source! All of the BOOKS in the Bible compilation are sectioned into 'scriptures', however, the Bible is a compilation of many, many separate books written by different authors over the course of thousands of years. For example Solomon wrote the Book of Eccleisiates [sp?] and he lived during the 900s bc. It is a separate book. Then Jeremiah wrote his books over a hundred years later after Solomon; I think he wrote his book abt 700s BC. Then Nehemiah wrote his book over a hundred years later after Jeremiah, I think abt 400s BC during the Persian Empire times, etc. Then the Septuagint was translated works of those ancient 'scriptures'/books around the 300s BC during the Greek Empire times of the Ptolemies...

Oh yes! You've brought out many points and I don't know if I agree with everything, but I certainly believe that we lost the family structure and we do have a responsibility too, for how things have gotten worse. Oh Man! I hope that you remember this when we debate in other forums! LOL! @Pioneer1 I don't know anything about the MMR being a conspiracy or not, however, I do believe that this system has conspired against African Americans to some degree.

@Mel Hopkins So true! Yes!

@Troy Thank you. Yes. I am familiar with this book and research and it's pretty thorough on the subject! Yes!!! yes, right again. Come on! @Pioneer1 EGYPT, Africa. Again, the Bible was dated at the time of the EXODUS abt 1400s BC; it was written in the Egyptian script and language of that time period NOT European. The Greeks [White rulers over Egypt] had the 70 Hebrews translate their own script abt 200s BC which was over a thousand years later after it was originally scripted. You know this. Yes!!!

Okay now! @Pioneer1 You are ridiculous.

WOW! That was awesome! Man! No, I don't think a high school gymnast could pull that off! that was amazing and I really enjoyed watching. Thank you for posting. I could watch Cathy Rigby perform that over and over again. It seems flawless and her skills were incredible. I wonder what she is doing now. Yes, I agree about the equipment that is use today to assist gymnast today. Me too. @Pioneer1 I agree with @Troy about equipment used to assist in certain feats, but today, these gymnast seem to be executing feat much more intense.

Yeah, so true. @Pioneer1 ha ha! That is hilarious. Okay, and it seems that he is very confident about himself and what he wants, but may not consider what a female wants or does not want in terms of his advances!

Hey! I'm interested!!!

Awesome!

Black Excellence-- UCLA Gymnast Get Viral Attention & Much More Nia Dennis Like most superb athletes at the level that Nia Dennis achieved, she also wanted to make to the Olympics, however, that dream was deferred I believe due to injuries. Nevertheless, awhile back, two of her floor routines received viral attention and much more. Her routines were dedicated to Black culture and because she executed her gymnastic skills so brilliantly, she received a lot of media attention from many celebrities and was invited to appear on many popular talk shows. She even received comments from former First Lady Michelle Obama. She dedicated music in her routines to certain celebrities like Beyoncé and more. One of my favorite parts of her performance was the amazing support she received from her teammates and especially her coaches. I just love to see her coach dance on the sidelines with her! The UCLA team though, has more than Nia, when it comes to brilliant performances! And so, here are the two floor routines that caused so much attention, however, I would also like to share another wonderful gymnasts' incredible floor routine on her team, Katelyn Ohasi, of whom scored a perfect 10 for her floor routine! Nia Dennis Katelyn Ohasi Interview USA Today

LOL! @Pioneer1 I read awhile back that Simone was bothered by that when she was young, but WOW! She sure turned out to be awesome! Also, I think that when she is dressed in everyday attire, she looks very lady-like, imo. As for Sha'Carri, I think that she looks muscular when she has worked out, and one of those kind of athletes, even men, that when not working out, their muscles seems to soften. I have never heard of the tennis player you posted! But because of your comment, I would love to share another amazing athlete that you might appreciate. Her name is Nia Dennis and seems to be the kind of Black female athlete who has a physical appearance like the tennis player you shared. Nia Dennis, at one time, was hoping to make it to the Olympics, but did not get that far. However, she is awesome and received a lot of attention for her talent! I will post more about her in a new thread.

? I don't remember. I agree. Lol. That too. @Pioneer1 I don't COMPLETELY understand why people would force themselves on someone else to rape. I do believe that rape can be due to the desire to have power and control over a person and also I think it can be an expression of intense hate too, though. I also think, as you have explained about your friend trying to serenade the girl, if he were to have the opportunity, he might have 'raped' her, but it would not be for power, control or hate, but just a kind of obsessive love. I do think that some men may overpower a female and force himself on her and have sex, but I don't think it would be the desire to dominate or control, but I think this kind of rape would also be defined as 'a kind of RAVISHING', nevertheless, it should definitely be defined as 'rape'. If a female does not consent and his forced upon, then it is tremendously damaging to say the least. However, when I think of 'rape', I don't only think about aggressive men who rape women, but men rape children too, and then so do women and this too, needs to be addressed but strangely so, this kind of evil seems to always become swept under the rug.

LOL! I have not signed into Facebook much. What!? A Children book--blocked?

I'm totally surprised!

WOW! What a thought!? My first thought made me realize how I think on the basis of my present condition here in America and I now realize my freedom should not be based only on my present experiences, but on a much wider scale. And, therefore, I don't know how to answer, but now, I will ponder this for awhile. These questions has made me think about a recent research I stumbled across on the subject of FERAL HUMANS; What kind of freedom would that be??? Personally, I would NOT want that kind of freedom to follow other creatures not high enough in intellect to teach me, as a human! This kind of condition, has caused me to be thankful for other 'humans' who have taught me. So now, I guess I have just come to a realization, that perhaps, 'Freedom' has to be given after a period of being in a controlled environment, and freedom may be based on others who have control over your life initially. Freedom has to be attained. ... Still thinking...

That's it. Self-hatred. And if people are supporting him, well, I wonder why!?

This is so true. Yes. I agree. Yes. Yes, I believe that we need new political strategies.

@Pioneer1 One would think so, but it's not. Again, that definition of 'ruddy' like all colors are based on science as well, and its' interpretation is not based on any narrative. That is why it is so important for all ancient script to be confirmed on a scientific method because of mistranslations throughout time. It's about TRUTH and not for the promotion of anything.

yes, I was very surprised!
