Africans Converting To Foreign Religions
I’ve never seen a query with zero hits. So I’m going to run to query now and see what I get…. It was A LOT. Maybe I misunderstood; what do you mean you got zero hits @umbrarchist?

The poster formerly known as Cynique
Ain’t dat the truth 🙂 As far as the video, I wasn’t actually recommending that people watch it. I was just giving my opinion. I was curious if others have watched it. @ProfD It is interesting that he said he would try to relate some information from the spirit world after he passed and apparently hasn’t done it. I remember Harry Houdini saying he would do the same thing I guess it doesn’t work that way…. Or maybe it can’t be done.

We’re you near these relatives at the time of their passing @Delano?

The Line Of Edom?
Everyone would have to ignore it @Chevdove for it to benefit us all. until then we’ll need continue to fight .

The poster formerly known as Cynique
@ProfD, anybody did you watch the video? You actually don’t have to watch it. I blew by the 10 minute intro and listen to the rest of it while taking a walk. It was interesting enough for me to listen to the whole thing. This video is actually the first of two parts. It is convincing. I plan to listen to the second video on my next walk Sometimes I think we can have a paranormal experience and not recognize it or see it as such.

Tananarive Due question on Aliens
Nah I don review non-Black movies. There a bazillion people doing that already. I found the film interesting, but the book was better.

WhenDidITurnBlack
Actually, these traits likes skin color, height and hair color are Phenotypes. I tried to warn you, once you start debating the concept of race with Pioneer you'll be bogged down in opinion, anecdotes, and pseudo-science. You really went out on a limb with that statement.

Our Students are Graduating from High School Functionally Illiterate
You've recommended on more than one occasion books that are freely available -- a good thing. I was just putting out there that there many good even better new books available; that's all.

Post-9/11 World
@umbrarchist I get it. My question has to do with who is behind this conspiracy and what is their motivation? The examples that you have accused Scientific American Magazine, university professors, the government, the broader scientific community even, by implication, StraightDope of hiding the truth. Who do you think has the power to corral all of these disparate entities and then to hide this story? Any serious journalist would LOVE to discover and be the first to report any credible evidence that the WTC was destroyed deliberately (that is what you are saying right?). Now we know Amiri Baraka got into trouble for saying that all the Jews stayed home. But apparently all the Jews did not get the memo because Jewish people died during 911. Now if it was a conspiracy, I don't actually think you would know who is behind it (please don't say the Illuminati 🙂 ). But you can speculate on a reason for killing all those people.

Tananarive Due question on Aliens
The first aliens film was very good. The rest not so much. I’m not sure why Tananarive, it’s so hyped on this new installment. I just watched the trailer and it doesn’t really peak my interest. I haven’t seen a movie in the theater since killers of the flower moon And that was because I lived in Oklahoma and read the novel on which the film was based. I’ll probably wait till the film is streaming.

Ladies: Controlled Or Lead?
No, the term does not make sense really. What I’m saying I’d that the points I shared were shared in the film (I watched about 1/2 of it). As gentlemen is to man, lady is a formal or polite way to refer to a woman. Not exactly willy-nilly, but I’m not aware of any formal definition or qualifications for being called the lady. Same goes for any disparaging words you can think of. Meaning also comes from context as well. Again that line is straight from the uncle Tom movie.

That is a good question. Why do you think that is?

Free is good, but we have to fund to work of contemporary Writers whenever possible as well.

What are you reading now ?
@umbrarchist when Africa Awakes is featured on this website as well as the books by Dr. Jeffrey B. Perry on Harrison’s life. I don’t think his life was shoved under the rug. But I will say Hubert Henry Harrison is not widely known, but that’s because people don’t frequent and share information on sites like this one instead they are on Twitter bullshitting,

Post-9/11 World
@umbrarchist What did you write to get booted? I know exactly where Tyson lived. I knew the family who lived there before him. I too was puzzled on how both buildings could pancake so perfectly into on itself by being hit by an airplane (albeit jet fuel laden). I assumed there was no conspiracy. If there was one what was the point; warrantless surveillance, TSA, bombing the middle east? Seems there were easier way to accomplish this without killing 3 thousand innocent American civilians. I heard of Destee and Lipstick Alley, but never StraightDope I'll check that one out. Did you ever try social media Facebook, Twitter and others?

A Short History of Hair Discrimination-- Bad Hair
@Pioneer1, I put @umbrarchist in his late 60's maybe 68 given what he said. Sounds like a smart guy to be courted by "Big Blue" in the 70's. I sport an Malcom X goatee nowadays, people say it becomes me, otherwise, I'd be clean shaven. I would have loved to see the Staples in the 70's! I saw Gladys Knight a couple of weeks ago. She is obviously way past her prime, but did great for a woman in her 80s. Pioneer, Mifflin Wistar Gibbs was a Republican LOL!

The Obamas and the 2024 DNC in Chicago: Deceptive Stagecraft at its Very Finest
Why not? Again people make up their own rules. Also, I was not aware that the "7 deadly sins" were in the bible.

Hey @Delano anything to say of Trumps odds be becoming president 😉

Ladies: Controlled Or Lead?
Man, you know these are all talking points from the movie Uncle Tom II I shared.
-
The Line Of Edom?
Why bother trying to understand? Huge portions of the Black population in the former European colonies are descendant from white men. @Pioneer1 you'd call most of these people Black because you are fixated on phenotype. The idea of multiple human races is really something we need to dispense with as it relates to human beings. It only purpose was to justify the elevatation of e one so-called race over another. BTW @Pioneer1 I'm still waiting for you to show be some 23 & me test for race...
-
Degrees of Blackness?
Here too I'd argue that it is not. Some people, for example, believe gay men are evil, an abomination other believe they are inherently good.

A Short History of Hair Discrimination-- Bad Hair
BTW @Pioneer1 I had to look up the identity of your avatar. Why pick such an obscure person. Did the Canadian do something for the people in your neck of the woods?

The Obamas and the 2024 DNC in Chicago: Deceptive Stagecraft at its Very Finest
As far as I know, that is still a sin. Indeed, lust of one of the "7 deadly sins."
