ProfD Posted October 25, 2021 Report Share Posted October 25, 2021 Thanks to those who've been kind enough to initiate threads on my behalf @Cyniqueand @Pioneer1. Brotha Troy has provided me with a canvas and wings to paint and soar respectively. I've added my 2 cents to enough threads already for regulars and lurkers alike to read how I roll. I've already been accused of commiserating and complaining and also of being sexist, ageist, outdated. That's fine. I'm a big dude and Teflon too. I'm gonna keep calling balls and strikes as I see it with a sense of humor. I know all medicine ain't for all patients. Let's get it. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until black folks pool their resources in order to own major institutions, franchises, corporations, etc., I'm gonna keep calling it out. For example, my money sits in a AfroAmerican owned bank. It allows them to make loans to our folks. We need more ownership. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. But, we have a long way to go in that regard. Until then, the first inspires the next that it's not impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfD Posted November 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 The jury has been selected for the Armaud Arbery case and the makeup is 11 white, 1 black: https://www.npr.org/2021/11/05/1052435205/ahmaud-arbery-jury I could have sworn we were in 2021 and not 1951. Same shenanigans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same shenanigans. I read in the news that the judge admonished the defense for selecting only one Black person, since that county consists of 50% Blacks. Expect riots if these people get away with murdering an innocent person who was out for a jog. They should all be executed. BTW, are you unable to start threads again???

I can start a new thread if I'm in one particular location, standing still and facing where the sun is shining. Otherwise, I cannot start a new thread when I'm in a different spot. I could wait until the sun comes up but that's no fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mzuri Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 I was going to start a thread about the Arbery trial. I will do it later after I do some research. In about an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
