“In 1860, two years after the death of King Gezo, his son, King Badahung, the new King of Dahomey decided that in honour of his father’s memory, a “grand custom” must be made. A “grand custom” was the ceremonial sacrifice of hundreds of slaves. A pit was dug in order to collect enough blood to float a canoe. Some 2,000 persons were to be sacrificed, they were to be beheaded and thrown into the pit to bleed out.” 800 Slaves Sacrificed in Tribute on the Death of GEZO the Great Slave King of Dahomey 1858 · Bahamianology

Akala (look him up, solid ass British rapper and black empowerment dude). He said something to the effect that in 50 years, Oxford university literature professors will be discussing Nas the same way they discuss Chaucer, Yeats, etc.' I don't have the quote exactly but you get the gist.

I've added on to this saying just how truly black genius is. If you look at Nas specifically, He wrote Illmatic while he was finishing HS. At the time, he had never been out of NYC barely out of Queens. Obviously no college, anything. Many of the early rappers were in their teens when they wrote their biggest hits. The sheer intellect it takes to write some of this word play, for the music to be made often by other teenagers. Name me any other race that comes up with that type of genius with not just no formal schooling, but out of some of the worse sub standard educational facilities, no travel anywhere, poor backgrounds, the projects but they spoke on things far above their own personal experience as if they had done it.

Rock stars the greatest rock music was written by people who were far more educated, far better life, and were never younger than their early 20s at best . At best. The poetry in our music, considering who writes it at what age, circumstances is on a level with, and often above any of the great poets they study at Harvard, Oxford and Stanford. ANY.

As an side, look at Jazz and the Blues, music and verses by a people that usually didn't finish school, often semi illiterate, had to teach themselves how to use the instruments. And wrote such complicated music so far ahead of its time it defies the imagination when looked at it in its proper context.

When I hear white supremacists talk about the IQ level of blacks its laughable. Its completely laughable. I don't get upset, I don't even trip. They have never, ever produced such artistry given the same set of circumstances. The one that did was black (Beethoven).

I was talking IQ with a white boy once and I said "Would you say that Mozart and Beethoven" no doubt had IQs that was high level genius range? The answer was always yes. Then I hit them with the hip hop info and they find it hard to deflect or counter. They can't and if people are around when you do it , they look stupid AF.

Even their own famous music, Rock, came from us. The other form of music I have heard globally is reggae. Again made by similarly poor black people and even latino music via Reggaeton emulates it.

The question isn't if blacks IQ are the same as whites, its how the FUCK is whites so much lower and we ain't rise above them yet.

Lupe was surgical with his pen!

There is a reason why Democrats don't want to do anything specifically for black people. There is a reason why they don't fight for reparations.
If you ask any of the vote blue no matter who crowd they will say it is because of the Republicans or that they will lose if they do that etc. or whatever other excuse they can come up with.

Truth is there are two reason. One borders on that. It's that like the Republicans the Democrats are courting the votes of racists. The Democrats know they won't get the flat out KKK, Neo Nazi, open white supremacist racists. They are hoping to get the vote of the casual racists. The closeted racist who has those thoughts and beliefs and may even say things at the dinner table at home but don't say these things publicly for fear of loss of a job or loss of business.

That's reason number 1.

The second reason is a bit more cynical. In order for white supremacy to survive there has to be a group that they keep oppressed. Black people are an easy target to do this to since white people hate us just by our mere existence. Police brutality happens to us more often because more black people are more often poor. Racist incidents happen to us more often because black are more often poor. Our water is tainted because we more often live in areas that are financially disadvantaged.

You can get rid of qualified immunity if you please but if the person doesn't even have money to hire an attorney does it really matter. Suing a police officer themself is different than suing the department or the city. Attorneys will pick up a case suing the city pro-bono because they know if they win there will be a large settlement and they will get a percentage of that. However the police officer doesn't have millions to pay out. So even if you win the case for millions against the officer they won't have the money to pay it. The attorney isn't going to take this on pro-bono because there isn't anything in it for them in the way of money.

The thing that would fix our situation more than anything is if the majority of us are lifted out of poverty and brought into the middle class or higher. If the thought becomes that black people are well off now and have resources to sue, or that black person may be someone important or related to someone important then police are going to think twice about their actions.

Young black people will no longer be targets of police because we will be able to get education and jobs and won't have to turn to selling drugs and crime for money. People don't do these things because they are bad people. They do it because they have no other choices. They are simply trying to survive. Given the choice most people will take a honest good paying job over crime.


All that said I'll get back to my point. Democrats don't want reparations passed in any form because it will work. Cash payments can be invested to start businesses and that will create wealth for black people and bring us higher on the spectrum financially. Cash payments could be used to pay tuition and get good paying jobs which will lead to higher home ownership and passing on of wealth. Heck even if the money is just used to buy life insurance the money from those policies gets passed on to the kids.


Even if the reparations aren't cash payments and come as free college for black people and we're the only ones that get the benefit then it will bring us higher financially. If the reparations are in the form of assistance with purchases of home then our home ownership rate increases and those homes are passed on to out kids. They now don't have to worry about a mortgage and can save their money and build wealth or use that money to start a business instead.

Anything that will benefit us specifically is going to create a class of black people within a generation that is wealthy and well off. That is why reparations in any form is rejected because it will work. It has a lot less to do with the politics of it and more to do with keeping us oppressed!

Stacey Abrams put out an Agenda to get black men's vote. The problem is that nothing in the entire agenda specifically targets or specifically helps or benefits black men alone. It is a lift all boats agenda. Sure some of it may coincidentally help black men but it is just by chance.

Stacey Abrams has said before (on the 85 South Podcast) that politician can't say that they are doing anything specifically for black people because it is too divisive and that Democrats can't win with just the black vote. Well her and the rest of the Democrats find themselves in an interesting scenario. They can't win with JUST the black vote but they also can't win without it.

Further proof of this is cemented in how her "black men's agenda" is on her page. If you do a google search of Stacey Abrams one of the first results will take you to her page. From there if you search the page no where on it can you find a link to her "black men's agenda". That is done on purpose. She doesn't want those white voters to scroll down and see "black men's agenda". She fears they may be a closeted racist and get upset and not vote for her.

In order to find her "black men's agenda" you have to literally do a whole separate google search for "Stacey Abram's black men's agenda". Pretty damn specific. It takes you to a separate web page that's buried in the background of her site. When you read/compare the agenda it is literally bullet points from other parts of her agenda pieced together that will incidentally affect black men.

She is so embarrassed of her support for black men that she hides it. If you as a black man live in Georgia and vote for this woman, you deserve what you get!

I'm here because twitter has finally censored me because of my free speech and sooner or later twitter will start censoring all free speech,i invite all the bro & sisters to leave twitter and come to 6-0

I'm about to start one for the hell of it. Probably with my brother.

Post yours so we can check it out.

Who are some of the best vocal talents out there? Past and present. Past for me would probably be Marvin Gaye, he had that voice that everyone could recognize. I think the person who had the best vocal range out of everyone, would probably be Michael Jackson, but can't forget about Freddie Mercury and his vocal talent. Those two I'd say were some of the best singers around based on their vocal talent alone.

Name off your favorites. Feel free to post videos to go along with it if you want.

A black women was at a Hiram Bar and Grill in Georgia when she got into it with some at the establishment. During the altercation, one man says "What chu doing in a white place like this?" Like it's confusing to him that anyone of color goes to this bar and grill.

Of course this is America for you.

Does anyone here like to mod their video game consoles? Old and new? I have thought of modding some old consoles, like a PS2, maybe an Xbox, and maybe even a newer console like an Xbox one or 360 even. Mostly for emulation and other fun stuff. But for the newer consoles, maybe install a different OS and mess around with it in some other ways.

What kind of mods have you done for your video game consoles?

My wife and I have a podcast on YouTube that we do every Sunday called "Melanated Thought". We discuss things that directly (and indirectly) affect and influence the FBA community. Give a look.

The Code Hot Take
Next Gen started too Early

In the world of technology, it's always about building toward a future that is bigger, brighter, and better. And it's the same for video games as you have Microsoft and Sony being these huge competitors in the videogame space. Meanwhile, Nintendo doing well with the Nintendo Switch, not only having it as a home console but also as a portable one as well. And one wonders what Microsoft and Sony do to counteract this. Well, most people would think, hey, let's see what Sony and Microsoft are going to do for their next generation consoles and the hype train began. Then both consoles were released in late 2020 during a global pandemic. Some think that it was the wrong time to release them and I am one of the people who agree with that statement here is my list of reasons why Sony and Microsoft Started the next generation of video game consoles too early.

Number one) It was released during a global pandemic.
This in my opinion is the main reason why these consoles have not reached their full potential as of yet. As the coronavirus pandemic swept throughout the entire planet, the majority of people had more pressing issues than buying a brand-new video game console at your local Best Buy. Most people during that time are more worried and concerned about buying food, water, and other supplies than considering buying a brand-new video game console. Now I know these consoles release later in the year 2020 but my point still stands that if these consoles release a year or two years later, I believe more people would have been more comfortable going into stores buying these counsels, as at the end of the day, these next Gen consoles and the majority of video games for that matter, are luxury's and during a pandemic where most people didn't have jobs and were worrying about their future most people are not thinking about buying or playing video games.

Number two) Sony and Microsoft Vs Online Bots.
These online bots called AIO resale bots have been around for the past couple of years, helping the black market get the first take on sneakers, graphic cards, TVs and now these next Gen consoles and they basically have a monopoly on just getting these consoles first and then selling these consoles more than they are worth. And it's a more viable option in some cases than actually having a job according to this Verge article. There are people using this type of software to buy sneakers and TVs and flipping them to sustainable profits for themselves. And, when you have a global pandemic more people are going to be forced to buy these consoles online and if you don't have this type of software there’s little to no chance of you getting the PS5 or Xbox series X. But to be fair, nowadays it's a lot easier to get an Xbox Series X. But it is still hard for people to get a PS5 it seems the only way to get a PS5 is to be extremely lucky or to use one of those online bots to get them for yourself.

Number 3) Global Computer Chip Shortage
In fairness, all of these issues that I’m bringing up tie into the global pandemic, which at the end of the day is why pushing forward and releasing these next-gen consoles was a lousy idea for Sony and Microsoft. As this pandemic forced people to stay at home going to an office for work or going out and meeting up with friends and such was not a good thing to do at the time. So a lot of people used technology to talk to people, do remote work, and so on. But the problem with that is that they needed these computer chips and a lot of these computer chips are made in China and in Taiwan. And the demand is way too much so even Nintendo had to cut down on creating brand new Nintendo switches. As these computer chips are important in the design of making. These new next Gen consoles as well, so these companies had to cut down on making these consoles, and since there is a limited supply. It makes it harder for people to get these consoles, and so the cycle continues on and on and on. And I believe that if. Sony and Microsoft just waited a little longer. They would have reaped the rewards of having the next Gen experience for all gamers instead of. A few. Instead of having your video games be on these new next Gen consoles, they have to be shared on the previous generations on the PS4 and the Xbox One.

But those are my thoughts. What are yours? I can't wait to see them in the comment section below. Thanks for reading and watching.
