  1. I did not watch the 30-minute video of the guy who I'm sure just giving his opinion of the information shared at the point. I see know reason to watch to it, unless someone can explain why his opinions matters. Now as someone who grew up in the segregated north and did not know a white person my age until I got to high school and was a full-grown man before I could call one a friend or had one in my home, I'm not nearly as paranoid as y'all are regarding white folks 😨 Also true, as a Black man who attended a three majority-white universities and worked for a couple of decades in fortune 20 companies, I was the only Black person in many spaces. There were times when racist statements were ignorantly made and is one of many reasons I left corporate America, but I was never at risk of being murdered or even physically harmed. I have no idea what happened to this young brother, so if his "friends" turned on him and murdered him simply because was Black -- that is crazy! However, I suspect the situation is more complicated, than that simple narrative circulating around the web and enriching Mark and his boys. The fact Ben Crump got involved is telling. Ben does not strike me as a straight up ambulance chaser, but what do I know...
  2. Well for his family's sake may he RIP. As these 'ole school politicians die out maybe things will begin to improve for the country.
  3. You don’t have to be gay not to want a woman. Obviously, not bad enough. Yeah, you live in Wakanda Brother 🌍
  4. OK, who do you think is smarter Hitler or Trump?
  5. I’m not a fan of these AI videos optimized for the YouTube algorithm. One, and you’ll notice this across a wide variety of videos even the ones created by humans, is that they are so redundant. YouTube likes longer videos for their algorithm so creativives create unnecessarily long videos. For example, that bit about drinking I felt like I was beating over a head with a stick with that line. Sheesh it was annoying and that’s ignoring the fact that I actually agree with @Pioneer1 on that subject. My generation definitely drank a lot more than the generation that came after me. Now the generation that came next (the one talked about in the video) definitely smokes a lot more weed. Surprisingly that didn’t make it into the video. There are some other points that I disagree with, but they are arguable..,
  6. I don’t recall that conversation, but I can tell you one thing with 100% certainty those brothers don’t want a woman, and that’s perfectly fine. I just remember your boy Tariq Nashed had a whole career teacher brothers how to Mack women:
  7. Sorry, if everyone one the planet lived in Texas the population density would be lower than it is in NYC. It is simply not possible to count every human being. That fact that people are dying and being born every second make it impossible to get an accurate snapshot. People are scattered all over the place. Demographers suggest the discrepancy can be 5% or more --- that is 100s of millions of people.
  8. Being left alone?! If Black folks were that brutal, we could have fired up the ovens, dropped some nukes, or committed genocide. White folks crossed oceans to start shit LOL! Who do you think is smarter Richard Nixon or Donald Trump?
  9. I did think boys could benefit from rights of passage programs, particularly when there is no father in the home or the mother is constantly bad mouthing him and men in general, to teach them what it means to be a man and how you treat women. Otherwise, you learn from your environment. The streets for example taught me the more women you can get the more of a man you are. I'm sure that is why the guys posting here don't understand these incels and view them as wimps. The incell dudes, who spent more time online than in the real world probably learn how to treat women from porn sites and are then severely disappointed when actual women don't behave the way they do in porn videos... I dunno.
  10. Hi Steve Jobs had not died I would give that idea some credence. Job was loaded and he certainly did not want to die. If the Earth's population lived in Texas, it would have a population less than NYC. Yeah, greed does out a damper on things... Maybe but know ones really knows the exactly number.
  11. ...and that is cool too. You never know, take enough shots you will eventually score.
  12. True and it does not take genius level intelligence gain power if you are willing to be violent enough. What stops you from gaining power is not a lack of intelligence it is a lack of compassion.
  13. @Pioneer1, I used https://pixlr.com/video-generator/ to create the video. I used the free version to edit images for years (an alternative to photoshop) and eventually upgraded to a paid version. They have incorporated AI over the last two years. I used Cyberlink's Power Director 365 to stitch the videos together, and obviously YouTube to share it here.
  14. I did not know that was a thing. I know my swerver still has room, though it is not an infinite. I could see if I can increase it, but a cap may be a good thing. Too bad you don't know how to compress the mages before up loading them -- y'all be uploading some massive images 😘
  15. @ProfD considering 100 years ago the population was 2 Billion the next 100 years is a pretty dramatic reversal. When we were younger governments were concerned about over population -- that is no longer a concern indeed many nations including the US are concerned about decreasing population. LOL! you know what I mean medicine has come a LONG (improved) in the past 60 years. How any people do you know who are have been crippled from polio or died from whooping cough?
