Pioneer OK. Why bother conjuring fictional stories that run counter to something that has alresdy been proven? Dude there no basis in objective reality for a so called, "Eastern European branch of the Caucasian race." This is dervied fromracist junk science and is perhaps why you like using Puerto Rican to describe the way some looks. Yes, I'm familiar with the term slavic.

Pioneer there are blond haired blue eyed Puerto Ricans, Puerto Ricans much darker than spike, and everything in between. Puerto Rico is a nationality, you can't assume someone is from PR based upon the color of their skin any more than you can do that for an American. To your point, sure Spike is the darkest dude on the set but the station is not designed to appeal only to Black people any more than rap music is. I'm sure that is why many of the Power, KISS, Hot f.m. radio stations use people like that Black sounding white people and lighted "skinned" Black people. Welcome to America.

Hey @Delano you don't think the average person, when presented with the facts that, 4 of every 10 people who died of Covid19 in the U.S. is Black, 7 out of 10 deaths in Chicago are Black, and that every person who died from the virus in St. Louis was Black, would continue to believe Black people are immune? @Pioneer1 I revisited the conspiracy-theory laden article that Kareem shared https://operation-nation.com/coronavirus-patent-documents-vaccine-race-and-countdown-to-war/ I'm would not be surprised if he wrote it himself, because it now addresses issues I raised! However, it is still full of factual inaccuracies (lies) and misleading presentation of information. It continues to assert that Black people immune. The article is on a Blog that has been running for 12 years. There is no advertsing, so profit can't be the motive. Why would someone publish such content? Could there really be forces out there working to undermine Black people and this nation -- sure there are! We know for this has been proven to be the case on Facebook and Twitter. I just never expected these forces to target AALBC. If AALBC is worth targeting, in a perverse way, that is a sign we have a sufficiently large audience to make a difference.

@Delano good point. White people dragged Black people here kicking and screaming for centuries and offered large rewards when they ran off. If rich white people killed Black people off who would fill their prisons, provide their entertainment, use their payday loans, and use twitter?

Exactly.

I actively avoid 45's tweets. Despite thus I learn about quite a few if them, because the media can help promoting 45 lies. I, Just a few moments ago, came across the tweet below in an article about amazon: The enemy of enemy is my friend? @Delano my bet on a 45 win in 2020 does nit seem as much as a long short as I originally thought.

Please elaborate.

There is no beef between Spike and Tyler. This is white provocateurs (and their Black social media stooges).

I'm not trying to change you words around. When restating my understanding of your position I use words like "apparently" because I'm not sure, but making assumptions based upon your statements. Besides, I'm not making statements based upon my preconceived beliefs. I'm making statements based upon my understanding of the available science. I have no personal way of knowing that Neanderthals even existed -- let alone have become extinct. All I'm saying is that when you declare that Neanderthals are not extinct rejects all the scientific data we have available.

True, but more importantly I think it help to be a white man. What do you think?

OK now I get it. Chevdove Science is not obliged to support scripture. Indeed the scripts are often in direct conflict with science if the scriptures are to be taken literally. If you are looking to tie scripture with science you will always run into problems. The whole conversation about Adam and the Garden of Eden is not something I can engage it, because you apparently believe that there was a guy named Adam who was the first person on Earth and lived in a place called Eden... @Pioneer1. Did you just make this up? You know, this has no basis in reality right?

Yeah i still can't see what John Amos got out of the interview. Yeah I heard Vlad was Russian. I thought he was Black but that was because that was all he interviewed I thought surely only a Bkack man could secure so many celebrity Black interviewees. Vlad has a billion more views than the Breakfast Club and does not have a radio station in the country's largest market to promote his videos.

Ok i know the odds are against me this time, but if he wins again $100 bucks from you would be a small consolation 😉

No. But that is because the issue is the distrust is in our government and media. That has not changed. 45 is justing benefiting by exploiting this distrust. Now it is pretty clear I will win our 2nd bet. Would you like to bet, double or nothing, that 45 wins a second term?

What a strange interview. That was not Vlad speaking off camera. Sounded crazy and said crazy things calling Bill a necrophiliac. John Amos was always a class act. I bet he regretted sitting for that interview.

I don't think it is me seeing clearly it is a matter of level of trust. If you don't trust white doctors because they experimented on Black people there is little they can say that you'd believe, and you're prone to believe any alternative story -- no matter how implausible. People believe 45 for the same reason. They distrust mainstream media, not so much for their lies, but the threat it poses to their "way of life," when heterosexual white men ran everything. Amazingly white people, without a pot to piss in, buy into 45's fake-news- witchhunt rhetoric wuthiut reservation. The fact that so many white people have loss their jobs and are struggling will make little difference, because it is the fault of a liberal media, Mexican immigrant, Black people whatever... Even the fact that poor white people dont have or lost their health insurance during a global pandemic, they will still fight against universal single payer health care. 45's approval rating has not crashed. Indeed there was a bump as people rally behind a president during a time of national crisis. If is why that nut Giuliani was popular during 911 and why they are calling for the NY governor to run for president.

Sorry to hear that Del. I think everyone from NYC knows someone who has fallen ill or passed as a result of Covid19, which has already claimed more lives, in NYC, than both world trade center attacks.

OK here is some actual data showing Black people are not immune to Covid-19. Anyone who continues to say that Black people are immune is trying to kill Black people -- full stop end of story. Propublica: https://www.propublica.org/article/early-data-shows-african-americans-have-contracted-and-died-of-coronavirus-at-an-alarming-rate As of Friday morning, African Americans made up almost half of Milwaukee County’s 945 cases and 81% of its 27 deaths in a county whose population is 26% black. Milwaukee is one of the few places in the United States that is tracking the racial breakdown of people who have been infected by the novel coronavirus, offering a glimpse at the disproportionate destruction it is inflicting on black communities nationwide. In Michigan, where the state’s population is 14% black, African Americans made up 35% of cases and 40% of deaths as of Friday morning. Detroit, where a majority of residents are black, has emerged as a hot spot with a high death toll. As has New Orleans. Louisiana has not published case breakdowns by race, but 40% of the state’s deaths have happened in Orleans Parish, where the majority of residents are black. The early data provided above is not at all surprising to any semi-woke Black person -- of course Black people would be disproportionately affected by Covid19 in America. “We are not in the same damn boat.” Read Obscene Rhetoric by Frederick K.

@Chevdove I ditto that. Please don't edit youself cause two old fuddie duddies don't share your sense of humor. @Pioneer1 i always said the culture wants to feminize men. The more you can get men in the salons buying products and the stores buying trendy fashions, getting piercings and fancy hairstyles and their tie nails painted the more money you can make of them. The ideal of what is feminine is a white man's construct. This ideal is the one that you embrace @Pioneer1. Things changed substantially for white women as they gained more rights. Black wpmen benfited too but were never really considered the feminine idea... by the larger society.... but that what Black men are here for 😉

Knee Grow you are too much, ROTFLMBAO! Man the was the longest nonanswer I've read in a long time. I can agree with what you wrote, but do you think the Brother was an "agent" or not? I appreciate what posters write on this platform can be construed to represent the entire the platform, but I can't be worried about those too stupid too tell the difference between one man's fleeting posts and the 22 year old site the posts appear. I think the dialog where his conspiracy theory on covid19 are effectively challenged might help others understand that this is not a conspiracy -- even if it is, it us just crazy to say Black people are immune when they are dying all over the country. Again I'm leaning toward agent. Now if he got one or two to buy into his hairbrained theory he would still be here posting. Actually @Pioneer1 i though Kareem had turned you 😉

Hey Guess A Reader. Jet Magazine's website has been down for sometime. Where did you find the article? Please post a link -- thanks!

May Bill R.I.P. The last guest's comments were most sensible. Bill's life should not be defined by his relationship with Nichols nor be ignored for all the experiences make the man. After skimming this conversation I realize how much I miss conversations like this. I almost forgot about @careycarey. @Xeon pops in every blue moon. @ABM and @Cynique are a couple of my favorite contributors to this forum.

It is just theory @Chevdove the giveaway was the abrupt departure and the nature of his posts. There are not very many platforms like this one that speak about Black issues (if anyone knows of others please share), so AALBC would be a good target for these times 3if trolls. @Pioneer1 used to warn me about this, so I'm curious to read what he thinks of my theory on "Kareem."

email me your mailing address @Maurice and I'll let you know what it costs to mail a typical book. Generally it will always be cheaper to purchase your books domestically. Now if there is a book that is not available domestically (has not been published in the UK), then I can help in those circumstances.
