I think it's a bit of an acquired taste, but I am really digging their stuff. They tend to add some noise into their music, so it's not for everyone.

The pandemic hit us way back in early 2020, and it has been going on since. I feel like it's never going to end, but I'm hopeful for soon. Anyway, I was wondering how you guys dealt with the pandemic early on. Were you let go at your job like pretty much everyone else? I got let go of my work for a while, which was a burden in itself, but unemployment helped. But they could have easily helped with more stimulus checks.

Most of the time I was out of work, I tried to find online work and when I couldn't find anything else, I just gamed and watched movies.

How did it go for you starting out?

What are your favorite horror movies? I grew up watching horror movies, and one that comes to mind right away is The Shining. Movie is so trippy, especially if you watch some of the theories online. You'll see the movie in a different way after.

Other favorites are: Friday the 13th part 2 or 3 (whichever one he shows up with the hockey mask), Halloween, Halloween 5, Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original, 2, and remake), The Blair Witch Project, and recent ones I would say The Conjuring, Get Out, Hereditary, and a few more I'm probably missing.

When all the riots and stuff were going down, I remember seeing a video of two black women yelling at two or three white women wearing all black. They were spraypainting BLM on the side of a Starbucks and they were yelling at them to stop because they don't want them to be blamed for it. The one woman was almost in tears saying people will see this and blame us, not you! I got sick to my stomach. I see more and more of this. What gives them the right or the authority to speak for the black community? I almost feel like they are doing things and saying things just to make themselves feel better. It is just toxic virtue signaling and they are using the real-world struggles of black individuals and families to make themselves look better.

I love Sha’carri but she needed to be humbled. All of this attention went to her head and made her a worse person. She just need to man up hold the L and get with the right coaches that will push her and get her back on the right regemine.She should have never took this event after the Olympics, but they paid her to go there and do the job like the Brooklyn Brawler or some shit. She just didn’t know it. She didnt have the right people in place to filter that out.

I feel like she’s getting close to being casualty to that social media trap.

What y’all think?

The main goal of the 6zeros Book Club is to provide a space for learning, discussion, cultural exchange and increased understanding between all people of African descent around the world.

We believe that we must seriously and diligently research our own as well as each other’s history, with the purpose of learning from each others mistakes and successes, healing together,
and building together, so that we can grow back into the giants that we once were.

There will be a separate thread made for each book in the library, where all discussions on that book will take place.

If you start a book and don’t see a thread already made for it, feel free to take the initiative and make it.

A badge will be given for each book that you complete in the library.

Let’s get it!

Yo yo yo this track is slappin‘ I can’t believe I’m just hearing it. I was looking to see if the kid has more stuff but he only had one track on his YouTube and nothing on his IG. Maybe he’s one and done.

The media keeps talking about the crisis going and painting it as if the Taliban are a bunch of savages attacking their citizens but is that true?

1. The Taliban did not attack the USA during 9/11...that was Al Qaeda, an organization linked to the CIA.
2. A lot of Afghanis worked against their own people to help the USA take control over the country.

Knowing these two things to be true, why wouldn't they go door-to-door to punish the individuals who collaborated with the US Government? Do they not have the right to do that?

What's terrible is that this is also going to impact us as Black Americans because there's about to be a ton of Afghanis coming into our neighborhoods and competing with us for the limited resources.

Then since these people have been saved from certain execution, they will be in alignment with the US Government and work with them against us.

Our tax dollars are going to go to helping these people get situated...they are going to get refugee funds and grants and in the end they will end up working to sabotage us. This is why we as Black Americans need to stop playing around and understand that we are all we got.

This nation says it has no money for reparations but then turns around and bails out a bunch of Afghanis.

Yoooooo…I cant believe this show is still coming on. I stopped watching like two seasons before Rick quit, show started to fall off. I faintly remember they made it to some town i think it was terminus, it was, they had a garden and the black dude with the tiger was there. is the show any good? i think they changed show runners like 4 years ago

Look how awkward this clown is. He is doing alright at the intro but then he immediately grabs her, hugs her and starts counting WTF. @Mastamind is that how you get at the ladies?

On the latest drink champs, Dame Grease talked about how his management at Ruff Ryders would tell people calling to get his tracks that he stopped making beats and then they'd direct the inquire to Swizz Beatz. I can understand looking out for your fam but this is foul...Dame Grease had some heat...stop being greedy was my joint. Did you know about this @tuckdog ?

Here's a video of Jay Z saying that Ruff Ryders redirected him to Swizz when he was trying to get to Dame Grease.

Anyone have any recommendations for YouTube videos? Why not make this a topic where we can share clips on YouTube. Anyway, I'm looking to start watching YouTube more often. Do you guys have any recommendations for comedy channels, movie channels, rap/hip-hop, R&B, and other such music channels? I'm looking to subscribe to a lot of channels, so lets get some suggestions going.

I love the Black Dynamite movie and tv show that came after. But I think I lean more towards liking the movie over the show. But what are your feelings on this? Do you prefer the movie or show?

I sure would love a sequel to the movie. There was rumors of a sequel for close to 10 years now, and still nothing. :(

So, Madden NFL 22 came out yesterday, and I'm torn on if I will get it or not. I used to buy each release of Madden back in the PS2/Xbox era up until the PS3 era. Sadly, I haven't really bothered much with recent releases, because I've found them to be more mediocre as of late. They've stripped a lot of content, that was originally in past games. And I don't understand why.

I was hopeful for these games to improve, but I don't know if they ever will. They are essentially the same games every year with some small changes here and there. I'm honestly thinking of going back to ESPN NFL 2K5. :D

I was a fan of his in his early career. I thought he was a wholesome dude. Had family values and everything. I really felt like he was truly an NBA player younger people could look up to. I noticed since he went to LA though, a lot about the dude changed. The one thing that really soured me on him was the issues with Hong Kong. Like I know, we are not expected to be helping people in other countries as citizens but to stand with China while they were abusing, killing, locking up, and enslaving those people... It just rubbed me the wrong way. I lost any respect for him that I had left. I used to be harsh on Kobe (RIP) because of his actions with his wife and some of his friends over the years but that was nothing in comparison. He did some stupid stuff but he never sold out.

What are your thoughts on LeBron James? Do you think he changed?

I am so sick of seeing Hollywood "blackwash" characters who were formally white just to make things "less white" or more minority friendly. They do this with men too, making them into women. There are so many powerful black figures throughout history that can be made into movies or TV shows. Same with comics... Why can't new characters be made? I know a lot of people who love the Black Panther and the story behind him. I feel like they are so empty with original ideas, they are just doing stuff for the sake of making money off social politics. It is kind of insulting to take an established character and just paint him black as if it makes things okay or something. Then you look at BET original movies like that Karen movie they did recently. WTF even was that? I don't know a single person who watched that crap. It was like a Get Out ripoff or something. I know other people notice this stuff too but they won't dare say anything about it cause they will get targeted, harassed, or banned from social platforms.

I noticed a lot of brands go downhill over the years. The quality and styles just aren't the same anymore. I tend to just find random brands I like that are more affordable and make comfortable clothing but I still have my preferences. Like for shoes and whatnot, I almost always buy Puma. For me, they have made some of the most comfortable footwear out there and if you find it on a deal, you aren't paying much for the quality.

Are you team playstation, xbox, or PC? I tend to lean towards PC but I wouldn't mind having a PS5 at some point. The PS5s were so hard to get last year I gave up lol

I used to try to hit the gym a couple times a week before the pandemic hit. I bought some weights awhile back to put in the garage but I think they got used once and that was it lol I think I just lost motivation with the shutdown and it hasn't come back yet.

Aside from the normal stuff like being trustworthy, I don't like when someone makes a point to be negative in every situation. I get that not everything can positive, but if you're constantly focusing on the negatives, it frustrates me. I want to be able to excited about something without worrying about your negative opinion.

I am not trying to be disrespectful, if you love yourself the way you are more power to you but past a certain point of weight gain... It just isn't a good look. It isn't healthy either. I keep seeing this being pushed on women, especially women of color. How is this a good thing long-term? Like yeah, you feel better about yourself and I am happy for you but do you want to die in your 40's? Do you want to struggle with health conditions your whole life and live miserably? I don't know man. I feel like this is doing an injustice to women. Loving yourself means you want to take care of yourself. There is nothing wrong with wanting to improve your health for your own sake. Having some extra weight is one thing but once you are obese, it just isn't good. Maybe this is just me.

I left the platform. I just wasn't feeling it anymore. People argue over stupid things, act like they know it all, and cancel everything. It makes no damn sense to me. Like I used to enjoy reading through the posts but most of what I was seeing was politically charged and designed to make someone look bad for something. Got sick of it and just decided to wipe my account and leave. This was last year. I haven't been on it since. I would much rather socialize on forums like this one.

Over the years, my family kind of went their own ways. Once my grandparents passed away, we seem to have mostly just stop celebrating a lot of holidays. I mean we do birthdays still, summer cookouts (4th of July is a real banger every year), Christmas... But that is about it. I don't remember the last time we celebrated Easter or Halloween, even Thanksgiving. I think 2020 put the nail in the coffin for those completely as we had plans but they fell through. Which holidays do you and yours celebrate?

Not trying to be political here but I definitely think the pandemic has influenced my feelings toward the general public. I was never a people person before but now I feel like that's even worse lol Has it affected you?

I'm hearing that we may be required to get a booster shot after we get our vaccines (if you haven't already). I feel like covid is never ending at this point. Does the vaccine even work if we need to get more of the vaccine? Seems weird to me. Are you guys going to get the booster shot if you have to in our area? Or will you wait it out a bit first?
