Isn't it interesting how White and Latino ICE officers can shoot and kill people and you'll never even know who they are.
You don't know their names, their race, or anything else about them.
The media keeps their information confidential.

They have to damn near invoke the Freedom Of Information Act to get any information on THEM.


But if a Black ICE officer shoot somebody, he gets the honor of having his picture plastered all over the national media.

......in a mug shot photo.

.....because he usually gets arrested when HE shoots somebody.

I guess Black folks should be glad he has a good *job* with benefits. If he's impdisoned, he'll still have clothing, 3 meals & a cot.😁

Otherwise, ICE officers are literally getting away with murder. Excellent job for racists & people who want to hurt & kill others.

They claim that as a result of ongoing ICE efforts, there's not a soul trying to cross the US borders right now:

Might see some tumbleweed at the fence but it's not even trying to cross.🤣😎

Well I guess not.
Most of them have CROSSED already.....lol.

The ones STILL in Mexico are the White ones who are doing well and have no need to leave.

I thought there was a lot of illegal Latinos in Michigan, man I went out West and talk about a Latino presence......nearly every other restaurant and bar was Mexican!

I'm talking about Denver, Las Vegas, up in Oregon, down in California, in Utah!!!!

When you go West of the Mississippi River.....Latinos seem to make up a 1/3 of the population!

And they're making inroads in places like the Carolinas, Alabama, and Tennessee.

I don't know who ICE is going after or who they're deporting, because I'm seeing more Latinos NOW than there was before Trump got in office.

Maybe they're locking them up, giving them tracking devices, and sending them back out into the wild like tagging deer or coyote.

ICE is deporting a variety of people who have illegally immigrated or over-stayed visas.

There were a lot of Latinos here in the USA before illegal immigration increased it.

White folks aren't really looking to deport their labor force. They certainly don't want to work farms & do construction themselves.😁😎

ProfD

True, however the vast VAST majority of illegal immigrants in the United States are clearly Central American.

So when I look at the so-called "New Black Media" and who they focus on.
When I look at the thumbnails for their Youtube videos and who's images THEY are using for the face of illegal immigrants, it makes me wonder why they're so focused on Haitians and Africans.

I also find it interesting that whoever this administration is focused on at the time just "happens" to be the target of the wrath of the so-called New Black Media.

When Trump was going after the Somalis.....all of a sudden out of the blue they were clowning on Somalis and calling them "lightbulb heads" and talking about how they don't want to be Black.

Now that the administration is focusing on Haitians....NOW they too are focusing on Haitians and talking about some mysterious Haitian woman who said Black Americans are dirty in some interview.

Not a mention of the Latinos or Asians from these niggaz anywhere.

Right.

It is totally unnecessary & non-constructive for the New Black Media to spend so much time clowning other Black folks. It becomes juvenile at a certain point.

I've been tempted to remind them of the words of Neely Fuller Jr. to whom many of are familiar. Seems they are ignoring the counter-racist code.

FBA/AfroAmericans fear the dominant society & the violence & wrath of which they are capable of inflicting.

Therefore, it is easier for oppressed people to target & victimize lower hanging fruit; people less powerful than themselves.

Those within the New Black Media who insist on relentlessly clowning on & complaining about other Black & Brown people need to check themselves. Grow up.😎

ProfD

Exactly.

It's the same shit going on in South Africa.

Them Zulus aren't fucking with the Whites or even the Asians in South Africa who own most of the wealth and tend to be the most hostile and violent towards them.

Instead, they get together and loot and attack other Black Africans like them who are just trying to make a living.

Although I wouldn't approve of it still, it would be one thing if Black South Africans were giving EVERYBODY the smoke who wasn't a native Black South African. The Whites, the African immigrants, the Arabs, the Indians....all alike.

Although I don't agree with it...it is more understandable.

But them feather wearing niggaz just BLATANTLY go after other Black people while ignoring and walking right past Whites and Indians.

And even if you point them out and ask them why the anti-Black racism, they ignore you and pretend like they didn't hear a word you said and continue on toward the Black African immigrant.

...snatching his merchandise off the shelves, throwing rocks through his window, dragging him out the store.

Those within the New Black Media who insist on relentlessly clowning on & complaining about other Black & Brown people need to check themselves. Grow up.

I think they're being paid to instigate some sort of violent conflict between Black Americans and Africans.

Just like the Bloods and Crips, you don't know who started it....but when it jumps off it keeps going and going.

They are definitely wasting time if that's their goal ro sew deeper division & start a conflict.

Africans don't want no smoke from n8gglets. They're working to have a better life. Not gonna let goofy azz n8gglets mess it up.

The n8gglets are too busy trying to find something to drink & smoke & poke.🤣😎

You'd be surprised at the many different Creative ways Black people...both FBA and African...have when it comes to fighting with eachother.

Willie Lynch could sit back and TAKE NOTES and revise his letter, with some of the shit some of these niggaz do to eachother.

Talk about Black folks killing eachother over religion or tribal affiliation.....imagine them fighting over a red rag or blue bandana.
Black folks beefing over which coast they hail from....Pacific or Atlantic.
Negroes in Somalia fighting over how hard or how soft and curly one's hair is.
In Rwanda if you're Tutsi with a long narrow nose....you're running around calling yourself a "caucasian" and thinking your better than your Hutu brother.

I went into this Soul Food joint a couple days ago to get some food.
....one of the few days it's actually open!
After a brief conversation about the staff...who are her co-workers.....this dark skinned sista with a ring in her nose go lean in closer to me darting her eyes around and say,
"I'm not like these other niggaz around here.
See, my family.....we (something she called herself but I forgot).
We related to the Gypsies.
See, look at my nose.
We is different, see.
That's why I can't relate to these other ho'z around here. Hee hee......."

Sista looked just like India Arie, talking about SHE ain't like other Black folks.

((shakes head))

You're right. It doesn't take much for Black folks to go at each other.

A street or a patch of grass or a bush or a shopping cart. Dumb sh8t.

A n8gglet will be ready to go to blows if you tell him a booger is hanging outta his nose.🤣😎

or a shopping cart. Dumb sh8t.

I remember when I almost got into it with this sista over a shopping cart many years ago.
I wasn't fool enough to go there with her....but another brutha was!

She was in a check-out lane that limited items of purchase to 10 or 12 or some small number, but she had a BUGGY FULL of shit...lol.
She was ahead of me.
The cashier....another sister....told her she had too many items and that she needed to go to another lane but she started arguing with her and calling her all kinds of bitches. Then I said to her,
"Come on...you ain't gotta act like that and call her all of that. You ARE in the wrong line."

Man....why in thee WORLD did I have to say anything to her for????

"I don't know who the fuck YOU talking to!
((yada yada yada))
These MY muthafuckin' groceries.
This is MY muthafuckin' buggy.
((yada yada yada))
....all up in MY business.
((yada yada yada))
If I had a dick I'd pull it out and make you &@$#$% 🫣^%$&&"

I'm gonna keep it real.....I didn't say shit else to her, lol.
I just looked on.

She eventually left and got in another lane and a few minutes later I'm hearing her get into it AGAIN but this time with some other customers in her line.
She started cussing at him and they went back and forth and THAT brutha grabbed her cart and flipped it upside down sending her groceries everywhere....lol.
Then he looked around with a crazy grin on his face realizing what he had done after losing his temper and dipped out....lol.

I find that both hilarious & unnerving. It's like they're saying to h8ll with the posted sign limiting number of items.

Even worse when there is no conveyor belt for their cart full of sh8t. Now, they're putting items on a small counter a couple things at a time.

People will argue & cuss & be ready to fight when 1) they're in the wrong line & 2) their payment card is declined.

More hilarious when they insist the cashier runs the same card again & again as if money will miraculously show up on it.🤣

That's another one.

It's one thing if you just got the card and didn't activate it, or today is pay day and you're expecting some money in your account.

But if you KNOW you ain't got no money in the damn account, what do you think is going to happen?

It's not like writing a bad check that sometimes takes DAYS to discover.

It's linked directly to your account and the results are immediate.

Sometimes they're hoping that the cashier will just let them slide.

Like a beautiful young sista did me a couple years ago.

Something happened with my card where the bank froze it for a day but because I had developed report with this young religious sista.....who looks like the young Whitney Houston....from flirting with her and having conversations with her, she figured I was good for it and let me take the merchandise anyway!

At first I was angry and embarrassed, but after she got through grinning at me and showing so much teeth talking about,

"It's Ok...these things happen.

I know you.

I know you're good for it."

((That's how she looks, by the way. And she SOUNDS like she looks!))

....she was so sweet, I was touched and started blushing.

I got my merchandise, thanked her, and ran out the store before I got an erection....lol.

You have reached that age where it's hard to let sh8t slide.

No, I was younger when this happened.

I was in my mid-20s.

I remember because I was still living in Detroit.

That's my calendar....lol....DD (during Detroit) or AD (after Detroit)

Smart move. If she had called baby boy, er, her son or grandson or nephew, that could have been a problem.

Yes....for THEM.
Back in those days in my teens and 20s, I didn't take threats or physical confrontations at all....lol.
I didn't start shit and was always pro-Black and conscious, but if people brought drama to my doorstep I made sure they either limped away or got carried away...lol.

Which is one of the reasons I remained silent on her.
I knew where it would eventually lead.

When it comes to loud mouth women like that.....they are often emboldened for a reason.
Often got some fool back at home who is willing to get in anybody's face for her, and end up getting both of them lit-up, lol.

Homie was built to handle that situation appropriately & roll out.

Apparently so.

He had the decency to put the shit he had in his hand on the nearest counter before he darted out the door though, lol.

Atleast he wasn't a shoplifter, lol.

White men too.

She sounds like she was raised in a White community, and has that "chipper" attitude that a lot of men find disarming.

They don't have to worry about her telling them to leave her alone or "get lost" or cuss them out.

So they hang around.....

I don't know what some men be thinking.

I wouldn't want to push myself on a woman who doesn't want me for any reason.

I'll shoot my shot at first, but if she makes it clear after 2 or 3 times that she's not interested....I move on.

I guess it depends on the circumstance and how badly you want the woman.

If it's some woman walking down the street or that you run into in the grocery store, you can shoot once and if rejected...keep walking.

But if it's some woman you work with on a daily basis it may be hard to just come at her ONLY ONCE then the rest of the time just leave her alone...lol.

You're watching her and maybe even talking to her every day.

Ofcourse "something" is going to come out that expresses your attraction to her.

Even if it's only an "excuse me....can I get by you?"....lol.

The space is kinda tight between her and that wall or desk, lol.

....a nigga might find himself sliding behind her a little closer and a little slower than he would the average person he's trying to get by, lol.

He might even get "stuck" trying to move between that wall and that big round butt she got sticking out there in the way.

Now if she turns around and SMILES at you....it's on, lol.

Some women enjoy being touched by men but won't admit it because either they're too afraid to admit it or feel guilty about it.

Exactly. A man should know how far he can go with a particular woman based on their interactions with each other.

Wise old men get to enjoy the reverse aspect of the game. That is knowing women who want to get at them.

Of course, most women try to remain conservative & non-thirsty so they're not going to put their snatch-box on a platter.🤣

In the West they've been slowly outlawing the "hunt" men have been doing for women, over the past 60 years or so.



A man is taking a chance if he physically contacts a woman without her consent up front.

In a work or school environment....yes.
But in a club, bar, or otherwise social setting, not much risk is taken.
Ofcourse it depends on the TYPE of physical contact made.

There's a difference between taking a woman by the hand to get her attention.....and sneaking up behind her, putting your hand between her legs, and grabbing up a handful of -WHATEVER- can fit in your hands!
Both are forms of physical contact but one is more acceptable than the other, lol.

But now a days, they'll go back 2 or 3 years with some bogus ass claim.



Right. If a dude rubs a woman the wrong way trying to get her attention one time & she either tells him not to do it again or gives him that look...he's better off leaving her alone.

Again, it depends on the woman and the circumstances.
If he LITERALLY rubs her the wrong way and she tells him not to do it again...he shouldn't UNLESS she later on gives him consent after re-establishing a relationship.
But if he just comes off wrong and pisses her off, there's a chance for him to recover over time.
But still...it depends on the woman.

I've had women who alternated between finding me attractive and not liking me then being in love with me...back and forth.




Exactly. A man should know how far he can go with a particular woman based on their interactions with each other.

Some men never learn.




Of course, most women try to remain conservative & non-thirsty so they're not going to put their snatch-box on a platter.🤣

Like I told Mel in another thread......
Sometimes it's not about whether or not the MAN is picking up on the signals that a woman is interested in him...it's about whether the WOMAN is picking up on the signals that the man is not interested in them!

You can drop all the pens and napkins you want on the floor to bend over infront of him.
You can bend ALL the way over and touch your toes like Lil' Jon and open up a gap wide enough for a truck to drive through....you'll still be wasting your time if he doesn't want you.

Women often forget that sometimes MEN simply aren't interested in a particular woman.
Some women tend to believe that a man should get with ANY woman who wants him...lol.

I have a cousin like that.
She's one of those match-maker types.
She believes in WOMEN CHOOSING the right man for themselves, but when it comes to men -they should find any woman attractive.

I used to go rounds with her and eventually during the debate she'd argue with me over why me or a friend of mine wouldn't want to go out with or date a particular woman.
I'd tell her that we didn't find her attractive.
She'd say,

"Whachoo' mean by THAT?
She a WOMAN ain't she?
Is he gay?
He don't like women????
Either you like women or you don't!!!"


But she couldn't conceive of a straight man actually not finding a particular woman attractive.

Much of the population increase you see in the United States are among Latinos and other immigrants who don't abide by Western cultural norms.

The men and women typically relate to eachother the way they've been doing for hundreds of years.
Only when the women tend to go OUTSIDE of the culture and report the behavior of their men to the authorities...do they get in trouble.
