Is it valid to apply the Metaphors in “THE BOOK “ to our current condition as a way out of this mess

Two Flint, Michigan firefighters gave an "all clear" during a house fire that left two Black children, Zyaire Mitchell and Lamar Mitchell, dead. Sgt. Daniel Sniegocki and Michael Zlotek were the firefighters that completed false reports. Dr. Rashad Richey and Trae Crowder discuss on Indisputable

Is there a time in the past, maybe a decade you'd like to go back to and live your life? Let's say the hate and abuse during that time is no longer present, and you can live your best life, free of racism and hate. What decade would you choose? It can be any time in the past, or hell, even the future if you want.

I have a lot of nostalgia for the 80s and 90s, so I'm kinda tempted to go back to around then and revisit it. I kinda want to go back and experience gaming for the first time, to have that sense of wonder playing something so new and fresh. I don't get that feeling with video games these days.

How far back would you want to go? Maybe before the internet? Maybe before even TV?

I know that this white boy had to be embarrassed after trying to fight a black girl, only to get his butt kicked.

I have a thing, where if I listen to music, I just listen to it for the sound. I found that I do this with most music, where I will have it on as background noise if I'm working or gaming and I would rarely listen to the actual lyrics. So if you ever ask me to sing something that I like, I probably won't be able to sing it.

Does anyone here do the same? I don't normally listen to music by itself. I usually have it playing when I do something else. In the past I have relaxed with some music, and during those moments I do listen to the lyrics, but otherwise if I'm preoccupied with something, I will sometimes ignore the music.

What has been the longest gaming session you ever had? As in the longest time you played a game or games for as long as you possibly can in one sitting. The longest time I've ever gamed, was probably back when COD was big. I mean, it's still big today, but I'm not as invested as I was back when I was just getting out of high school. I played a ton of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare back in the day, and I remember gaming for hours into the night. I have mostly just gamed into the night hours. My longest gametime was probably during a COD release, maybe MW2 or Black Ops, I forget, but I played from the midnight release to like 6am. Not too long, but long for me.

What's the longest amount of time you gamed in one sitting?

Elon mentioned bringing Vine back.

I think Twitter killing Vine was the dumbest thing that platform ever did. A lot of people are saying if they do bring back Vine, it may just kill off TikTok in the west. At this point, I would welcome that but they would likely bring the same trash on there over to Vine 2.0 - what are your thoughts on this? Would it kill it off? Is it worth bringing back? Would you use it?

This post is about posting links to African-American Youtube channels (Known to unknown ones); it doesn't have to be a certain type of genre of content; the person just has to be clearly of African-American origins, but political centric African-American Youtubers are definitely grandly appreciated also!

Since we know that none of these politicians are going to do anything for FBA I think we can all agree on of how sick and tired we are of the Campaign ads, Campaign Robo calls, Campaign text, and the campaign fliers they stick in our door.

I got a campaign text today so I responded

THE TEXT:

Hi David, it's Zahraa with the MIDems. With just 8 days left until Election Day, we are doing everything we can to turn voters out to support dems up and down the ballot. The Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Kerry Washington will be joining us in Detroit on Saturday at 5pm for the Grand Finale of the Getting Things Done Bus Tour! Can we count on you to join us? Stop2optout

MY QUESTION:

Hi Zahraa, can you tell me which candidate not only supports but has an actionable agenda for REPARATIONS & TANGIBLES for Foundational Black Americans whose lineage can be traced back to American Slavery? If you tell which candidate is like that I would be happy to vote and see you on election day😁

THE RESPONSE TO MY QUESTION:

I'm opting you out of texts immediately. Have a great day.


🤣😆😂

So, the social credit system is here. My Medium account was suspended for going back and forth with some Jews about antisemitism. How is it that if we are Jews (Hebrews) and we discuss our "alleged" brothers, we get suspended and they don't?

Ya'll this shit is out of control and they don't want us to tell the world who we are, what they've done, and they damned sure that judgment their asses is due for breaking Yah's law. PayPal's slip-up was a warning to us all. Any of these third-party payment systems, social media sites, etc. owned by them mofos could easily get you silenced, get your work suspended, erased, and they get to keep on pushing like they ain't did shit.

Freedom of Speech is DONE in America. I'm glad I have my own website. I'm finna talk about they asses ALL DAY over there. This is one area where Black folks really need to stand and figure out a way to shut them, folks, DOWN. Stop working, stop buying, take ya money out of their banks, delete their apps, stop using their products, don't listen to any of their trash-ass music, trash artists, don't watch their trash TV, don't read their funky ass papers, NADA. If we keep allowing everybody to run over us and mistreat us we will always be in this position. I'm getting real tired of standing for the collective and the collective love the oppressor and his stuff. Is anyone else feeling like this?

I've honestly never tried African foods before, and don't really have any foreign restaurants or anything near me, so I've really never had the chance to anyways, but I wonder if Fufu is actually good, because to keep it a buck, it looks disgusting, but the taste could be way different from how it looks, so I wonder if it's good to any of you who've actually tried it.

Under the system of global ytsupremacy, the Masculinity Black Men naturally exude is considered unacceptable and even threatening to all those who are NOT Black Men (namely ytsupremacists and their coon flunkies). Dr. Francis Cress-Welsing spoke of this back in the 70s, and it's happening before Our eyes in 2022.

Did anyone waste their precious time watching the Jake Paul/Anderson Silva boxing match this weekend? I heard Jake Paul won via decision and I think it's all a work, as in fake and part of their plan. The reason I say this is because the day or week before Jake Paul gave Silva a deal, that if Silva was to win the fight, he would do an MMA fight against him, but if Paul was to win, the two of them would start some fighting commision for the UFC to make sure fighters are paid well.

That alone made me think this fight would be staged, and low and behold, the fight happens and I hear Silva is taking it slow with him and barely doing much. Now I can't judge the fight, because I didn't tune in, but the fact they went the whole fight, I figured it was all a work.

I think his matchup with Mayweather Jr. as well was all for show, and was just all for money.

What do you guys think of this though? Was the match between Paul and Silva fake just to capitalize on the cash? I think so. Well not fake, but each fighter held back is what I'm trying to say.

More Elon news, as he's considering charging people $20 a month in order to have the verified badge on Twitter. I figured the guy was going to attempt to cash in on his purchase, but I don't see this going over, because the point of the verified badge is to prove you're the person behind the account. Seems kinda dumb to charge for people to do that. Maybe a one time fee I could see being acceptable, but $20 a month? Expect people to drop from twitter if it happens.

Is anyone here verified on twitter? I heard it's not easy to get verified even with all the proof you need to send. Also the funny thing is, being verified has nothing to do with being famous. Anyone can technically get verified, they just need to provide proof of person or whatever. I haven't done it myself, but I did consider it years ago when I did use Twitter often.

excellent channel to find out how to spot a fake when it comes to various things, the cologne section is pretty big. I have a few of these and I'm glad mine checked out!

I saw multiple reports that a diesel gas shortage could be happening within a month. And you know diesel is needed by truckers. Has anyone else heard about this?

What about their own women, or men? are they not good enough or something

This is an offshoot from this thread in the blerdlife community Any Black cartoonists out there that are worth representing?

But I've honestly never seen a Black owned gaming company; especially making games that are in the mainstream.
Hopefully more spring up.
