Pioneer1 Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 Kwaanza is nice, but let's start with getting most of the youth to put that poisonous DISPENSARY WEED down so they can think straight, lol. If we can organize a group in every city to get them off that addictive weed.....that would help tremendously. As long as they got some purple lips wrapped around a blunt full of that shit, you're wasting your time trying to get them to focus on anything else.

The root of that problem started before they were born. Goes back to whoever created them and their predecessors. The bigger *problem* is that older AfroAmericans don't want to take responsibility for the dysfunctional BS they produced. There is no shortage of lazy, ignorant and selfish AfroAmericans 50+ years old. Many of them are sitting around with little or nothing to show for having been on the planet for a half century or longer. They are the parents or grandparents of another generation of dysfunctional n8gglets. Ask older AfroAmericans why there is no economic infrastructure and inheritance for our people. Don't interrupt them. Wait for the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pioneer1 Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 ProfD I've said on numerous occasions that at the ROOT of the problems that so many of our people are going through is a LOW INTELLIGENCE problem. Too many of our people are just plain STUPID. Ain't got sense enough to think their way out of a fenced in back yard. Not all. Not most. But enough to have a major effect on and slow the progress of our community. We need to lose the dead weight and separate ourselves from the fools, clowns, and morally depraved of our community and I GUARANTEE you that most of the problems we complain about will seemingly "vanish" overnight. But as long as we keep making excuses for stupid behavior and thinking "something else" is the problem, the ROOT problem will persist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many of our people are just plain STUPID. I agree...low intelligence, stupidity or laziness are definitely current problems that lead to dysfunctional behavior. I just believe the root of our problems was born more than more 20 years ago. We haven't fully dealt with it yet. 1 hour ago, Pioneer1 said: We need to lose the dead weight and separate ourselves from the fools, clowns, and morally depraved of our community and I GUARANTEE you that most of the problems we complain about will seemingly "vanish" overnight. Sure. If we could keep stupid people from reproducing that would help too. Otherwise, the least productive of them will end up cancelling each other out by going to prison or a cemetery. In the meantime, I think a better use of our collective energy is building an infrastructure that provides growth opportunities for our smart and industrious people to thrive and survive in a place of peace and prosperity.

Definitely something we could incorporate into our best practices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
