Congress approved a measure that would give the U.S. territory three options to moving forward with statehood. The people of Puerto Rico will choose to either become a state,go independent or independent with free association. I think it would be in the best interest of Puerto Rico to become a state of the United States long term. On the other hand, it looks like a sort of reparative measure by the United States considering what was done on Puerto Rican lands. If Puerto Rico chooses statehood they would forfeit any reparations claims they may have against the Unitef States.
The U.S. House has passed a bill that would allow Puerto Rico to hold the first-ever binding referendum on whether to become a state or gain some sort of independence.
This article is a reposting of an article at the UK's daily mail newspaper Website (link to original post follows at the end of this article and my comment on the article):
Joe Biden on Wednesday apologized for the 'unimaginable cruelty' of slavery, which he referred to as America's 'original sin', and pledged $55 billion in investment to the continent.
During a White House dinner honoring African leaders and their spouses, Biden addressed what he called America's 'original sin' - the enslavement of millions of people - and honored their descendants and the broader African diaspora community in the United States.

Just more passive aggressive "anybody but you" exclusion of the long overdue dues of Black American Freedmen. Notice anytime momentum is going regarding our dues or addressing ongoing hate crimes against us, the subject is overgeneralized to ignore us by focusing on others.
How is this any different than apologizing to every scam victim except the one you scammed, every household that was robbed except the one you stole from, everyone who lost someone to murder except the family of the one you killed?
I just want to say MUCH appreciation to Jay and the Team for making this platform into a reality— I’m so glad to converse with likeminded friends, WITHOUT hindrance or interference *cough zuckerburg cough
John Cotton and the NAACP stooges of New Mexico are in league with those people. This worm, Cotton (a fitting name for him, the plantation Democrat), after being informed of the human trafficking going on, after lying to my face then laughing about it, sees more fit to try and snitch and play ratty games, than to actually do something about it. What a JOKE. Hate to burden you all with this, but. If I’m killed by the pigs, they had a direct hand in it. No worries. I just wonder how they got this far as an organization with this behavior.
I wish I knew how to code video games, I think if I had the knowledge of doing it, I would have made many games by now. But I don't know the first thing about coding, aside from maybe small web site design back many years ago. But, are there any developers here working on their own games? Maybe you have a game or concept already made up. I'd love to see what the community has going on in that space.
Is there any interest in becoming a coder/Game maker?
With the way everything is going these days, from stores cutting cashiers out of the equation and going with self-checkout, and now there is rumors of this happening to more stores and restaurants, where the cooking, serving and more is going to become an automated process one day. Those jobs will eventually go away, and maintenance jobs will spring up, but not everyone will qualify for that.
Anyway, what do you think would happen if everything from your work, how you buy products, etc, is all an automated process in the future? How will people survive if there are no traditional jobs anymore and everything is either run by robots and AI?
I mean, it would be cool to be able to go to a store and not have to deal with employees asking what you want, or if you need help. And it also defeats the anxiety of having to order food at a fast food place, or a restaruant in general.
Do you think automation will become a huge thing in all of our lives in the future?
A professor at Winston-Salem State University had one of her students arrested for the simple fact she wouldn’t apologize to her. Not only did she pull her race card, but when the other students came at her she played victim. View attachment trim.493B8947-377A-4CAD-850A-8195C308E2E2.MOV
How do I lower my blood pressure? Has anyone ever dealt with this? I eat fairly healthy; I am working on changing my diet up and doing more cardio. Does any one have any tips or blood pressure myths for Black people?
There are many players in the destruction or the black community, one of the most vocal being the low value women (or hyenas) that aim to weaken the value system of our community for selfish gains. Are those that have been deteriorating the value system of the black community the same ones we enable and give power? What could be done about it? How should the high value women (lionesses) in our community combat this? Let's discuss in this new installment of Equis Rants.
Jay z and the machine really have some ppl thinking he's the greatest.Nas has better albums and I love all of em except hip hop is dead.Jay z's 1st 3o4 weren't good or was barely good
Are there any preppers in our 6Z community? I feel like we could use a whole lot more prepping energy in Black America. Please don’t list all your preparations, specifically your resources and your supplies— but suggestions are always welcome! I believe now it’s more urgent than ever, the need to make preparations for the tough times ahead. Water supply for example is of vital importance! Also ammunition. Stock up everyone!
There was rumors a while back that the NFL wanted to add more teams. I honestly would love to see more teams added to the NFL, but for states that don't yet have any teams. Do you think we'll get to a point where we'll add a few more teams to the NFL? Or do you think they will stick to the 32 teams they have now?
