Of course, brother, I’m not suggesting you pull a bunch of flies off some horse shit and make a soup.

I’m sure McDonald’s is trash food. I go maybe once or twice a year always during a road trip for a fast hot breakfast I can eat in the car. I imagine eating there every day as bad as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day. I know a lot of people who swear pork is so bad but they eat cows and chickens. My only real aversion to eating pork is that pigs are relatively intelligent animals if I had to slaughter one myself I probably wouldn’t bother and fry up some fish instead. As far as eating bugs, I don’t see a problem with it. Brother Rizza is talking like eating insects is crazy. I don’t understand — it is probably healthier than eating a goat or chicken. Many African cultures consume insects He sounds childish on the subject.

Excuse my ignorance but does tether I to all nonFBAs here or just the ones who talk dot about us. I’m afraid unless the owners of new Black Media are more mission driven than financially driven. It Will ultimately not serve us.

That is certainty a factor give the midterms are a full year away. But that is also ample time for the current administration to create more havoc. Eyes will be in NYC too.

The reason that technology reaches people quickly (goes viral) is that it is designed to do just that. I argue that content used to do that does not serve us. If you do not use the technology the way they do no one besides you and me will use it. Think BET. It is not just us man. Most of the country is in this predicament. Of course, when American catches a cold... always applies.

I watched this TV series called The OA on Netfix it dealt with the subject of traveling through different dimensions. It held my attention but I would not string recommend it unless this subject really appeals to you. I see a fetus.

@aka Contrarian the death of the penny was lok overdue. When I was kid you could buy all sorts of candy for a penny. Can you buy anything for even a nickel today? Get rid of those too. Who still carries currency anyway? The only time I carry currency is when I play poker and spend the winnings

Right, I actively avoid consuming content on social for reasons I can go on with all day long. So it does not matter to me who owns it as I don't use it. If Black folks owned it, and it operated the same way, I still would not use it. The move for Black people is not to embrace the same f'ed systems greedy white boys use to exploit the populace (winking at Richard). We desperately need to do things that will serve us. This is true to the nation in general.

The democrats will, I believe, make gains in the midterms. I'm glad the government shut down ended. The only people being hurt were the poor. I don't hold this against the democrats either. MANY people lost a month and half of pay and will not get it back. If you've never lived paycheck-to-paycheck or were so food insecure you needed food stamps, you simply can or don't want to relate. As far as the republicans using the shut down as a tactic, DHTPHTG. Another reason the Dems will prevail in the midterms...

Jealously and insecurity are human emotions nothing is inherently wrong with them, but like all negative emotions including hate, fear, envy, etc we should try to moderate then. If a brother greets your woman with a smile while you are standing there, do you fly into a rage or are your pleased that she was greeted in a friendly manner? Do you later give her grief, or slap her around, for encouraging the brother or do you think homie was a friendly guy? The emotions are natural what provokes them and how we react to them is what matters.

Because we are not animals and many of us have some modicum of self-control. It seems your expectations of humans is pretty low. Perhaps I'm naive but, I would not be worried about my son banging my wife, or my wife cutting my head off -- I don't have that kind of mental energy. Virtually all the women I interact with are classy enough not to raise me suspicion of sleeping with my son -- especially if I'm dating them. I don't have a son, but I would hope they would also respect the code implicitly. Now you raise an issue with "class." Clearly everyone in this story were of a lower class. Perhaps in these social circles one need to worry about children hooking up with stepparents. I call this "ghetto mentality." That you @Pioneer1 you might be watching too much step-mom porn

The accused, a porn star, married, a man who already had children, one of whom she ultimately started banging and eventually married. Making that man both her stepson and husband. At some point, she apparently cut off the first dude’s head. Well, it makes for a funky looking family trees, People get into relationships with their stepchildren all the time. The missing head is unusual, but probably not a first.

He hired his lover for a $160K NYC gig. DHTPHTG. The New York Times covered the story otherwise I would never heard about this book. It was self published. I don’t see very many sales despite the coverage by the Times

Is this an original poem @harry brown?

@Delano yeah I get that, but it does not explain the appeal. @ProfD I remember the song, but don’t recall that particular line. I wouldn’t have recognized the brother in the video as being a member of the rap group.
