Spoiler alert if you watch Fargo the tv series.

I just finished binge watching Fargo the tv series and I enjoyed it a lot. Season 4 starred Chris Rock as a 1950 black gangster in Kansas CIty. Yeah, I know....Chris Rock, huh? A huge departure for him and it was hard to get the image of Pookie from New Jack City out of my mind. That said, at the end SPOILER ALERT, the Italian mafia in KC after a war against the Italian mafia and a war Chris Rock's character thought he won, the new mafia head basically took half his shyt and said bow down. How? Chris could kill him he said but he's fighting a national coalition of Italians. Chicago, NY, Philly, etc, are all part of the same team and they will just send 'wave after wave' if you kill one of them.

We can say whatever about the old numbers runners, heroin dealers, etc being bad for the community but its better to have the devil you know than be run by the devil you don't know. I've read many accounts of how the mafia took over numbers in Harlem, and Chicago among other places. As if there was nothing we could do and I disagree vehemently.

The mafia could take over these black rackets because black people were off code. The black racketeers all did some good within the community. It may not justify the damage but a whole lot of them did a lot of good. There is a guy named Pee Wee Kirkland, Harlem heroin legend, who was called the Bank of Harlem because you could go to him if you were in dire straights. If a mother and her kids were being evicted from their jewish run apartment, he gave them the money. If someone was in the hospital and couldn't pay the bills, he gave them the money. All of them did that because they were from that community.

The black numbers were the most lucrative of any community. It made more money that any. In fact, a few of them owned some of the Negro League baseball teams, they were that rich. The mafia killed off the black gangsters and brought in their own black front person. However, that would never work if the black masses refused to buy from them. Everyone knew the mafia took over. It would never work if the people said no. But they did. So, you might say they had no choice, right? They did. Let me give a reason. While the Italian mafia was at its height in NYC, Chinatown had their own rackets. Chinatown had the same numbers rackets, opium, loan sharks, etc. They made millions. Why didn't the Italian mafia take them over? They couldn't. The Chinese weren't ever going to do business with anyone who wasn't Chinese. The Chinese operated in cities where the mafia was, NYC, SF, Chicago, LA, and were not messed with and it wasn't because they were tougher. Again, the mafia knew that no one in Chinatown was gong to take a loan, buy a number or drugs from anyone but another Chinaman.

Same with the Russian mob. The Chinese, Russians and others only f*ck with you on business when they want and its mutual partnership. Our problem was we didn't do that.

In Chicago, there were different numbers rackets. The mob was picking them off one by one. One of the brothers who was most about that life told the other brothers, lets band together and fight them as one. Chi town folks will know about a neighborhood called Bronzeville. The others were seeing it as 'his problem' and not theirs and it was too little too late at the end. The mob took over a business that was buying buildings, funding students, etc, in our own community. The mob had a commission and worked things out, we fought each other and would not work together.

Did you know that there were different Negro baseball leagues? People think there were one. No there were a few different leagues. Instead of banning together and making the MLB have to include us before they get a Jackie Robinson and other, we actually let them have them free in order to have blacks play. We had all the cards. We had the best talent. The white boys who had the ABA got included in the NBA because they acted as a unit. If the Negro leagues first got together as one, eventually in the mid to late 60s when baseball was expanding we'd have a few black owned teams included in cities the MLB didn't have a team such as Kansas CIty and Atlanta and Minneapolis. At one time the Pittsburgh negro team had more people at their games than the Pittsburgh Pirates.

It's why I hope the internal beef stops. We are on our way but we'd be much better along if Dr. Umar and Tariq/TBA weren't beefing. Or Bey and Tariq or whomever. I believe we'll still get to our goals but it will be slower with the beefs.

Happy birthday to one of the greatest, and most talented, musicians of all time. We use the term GOAT a lot, but Stevie Wonder is in that rarefied air of people who actually deserve the title. Much respect to the god!

I make this artwork! It’s great for Mother’s Day. Will be adding more to the sight later.

This lady doesn’t do shit. She is a hater and a grifter. I can’t stand her

Now I am going to try and explain something since I bring “problems” to black sites (Sovereign)

My grandfather flipped a turtle right side up with a rod and reel. The turtle slid off a rock and into the river and came floating to the surface just like the one in the video.

My grandfather explained if it couldn’t flip black over on its own it will drown and sink. So if that turtle didn’t have a gang around it it would have died. Just look how they all came to help. The turtles was on Boo Koo Code.

We gotta be just like this, even if we don’t know each other. FBA Males & Females, The young & old. Move as a unit, travel with 4 of more. And ALWAYS have your. Power tools ready. Even if you are fresh out of the penitentiary.

If you had a chance to get locked into the octagon with a coon of your choice, who would it be? My pick is Stephen A. Smith. That man despises Black people and I would give that dude the business if they locked us in the octagon together.

Janelle Monáe releases her most racy video yet. Check out our review.

After watching one of the Sonic Frontiers livestreams on the 'DukeCT Livestream Channel', I went straight to my nearest store and bought the game and ended up playing it and it's pretty good so far. It's the only Sonic game that I've played that matches my speed of gameplay since I don't often play fast paced videogames. The story seems good, graphics were amazing and so was the music (especially with the punk rock sound in that Titan boss battle with Super Sonic) but the EDM got some getting used to. I did have some problems with the game though, like the rehashing of classic stages like in Forces, Generations and the Sonic 4 games along with running into the bosses of the world on accident and having to listen to the boss music even when I'm far away from the enemy but those are the only problems that I have so far. I was always skeptical of Sonic games despite me never playing them because I'm more used to watching people play videogames but it's better than I thought it would be.

Street Wisdom and Wisdom in the Streets

This is what others voted for. Name a country that you can flee to and then get here illegally and demand the same rights as the citizens that fought for this land. The Haitians got whooped back to the border by the people guarding the boarder around this time last year but Mexicans, who consider themselves to be white, get a free pass into the US.

The original man and woman's beginnings in America goes well before 1619 and we are the original builders of this country. Immigration has always affected the black community most and has been used as a weapon to supplant us in our already fragile communities. The truth is, many of the people that come here have the same hatred for us as everyone else. Stop being delusional and let's be real! No one is going to save us but us!

For those that play Fortnite with us FBAnerdist JerriBun blackice_ATL Dukect and HailCzr85 you would know that my aiming and shooting was horrible. I bought a cheap $20 gamepad that had huge analog dead zones and major input lag. Now I got the Horipad Wired and I can't wait to test it out.

P.S. I would have purchased the Nintendo Switch Pro controller but it's going for $80.

Nope, Nintendo. Not getting that from me.

And Story continues.....👀

It's a long watch but it's worth it.

For anyone that's served they'll tell you this is the typical experience. It's sad but this is s how the military is regardless of the branch.

Gunman shot every customer in Detroit gas station after warning clerk, victim says​

A victim in a Saturday triple-shooting at a Detroit gas station says the gunman warned a clerk during a dispute that he would shoot every customer in the store before opening fire.
David Langston says he pleaded “don’t shoot” to the gunman, who, according to police, was angered in a dispute with the clerk over $3. He said his best friend, Gregory Karlos Samuel Fortner-Kelly, also begged the clerk to open the gas station’s locked doors and let them out before being shot.The doors remained locked and the gunman shot the customers inside, Langston told Free Press reporter Jasmin Barmore, who is a friend of the victims.Langston, Fortner-Kelly and another patron were shot. Fortner-Kelly, 37, was killed.
Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy confirmed late Tuesday evening that the clerk locked the gas station with the patrons and shooter inside.
Samuel Anthony McCray, 27, of Detroit, is charged in the triple-shooting with first-degree murder, two counts of assault with intent to murder, three counts of felony firearm, and another count of possessing a firearm as a felon.
Worthy said McCray attempted to make a purchase inside the gas station and, when his card was declined, attempted to leave with unpurchased items. The clerk then locked the doors, Worthy said in a news release.
McCray began arguing with the clerk before he opened fire inside the locked gas station, Worthy said. After three people had been shot, the clerk unlocked the door and McCray fled, Worthy said.
McCray was apprehended by police Sunday.
“I want to be very clear,” Worthy said. “The investigation in this case is not finished.”

Gregory Karlos Samuel Fortner-Kelly, 37, of Detroit, was killed in a triple shooting at the Mobil gas station on West McNichols Road, near the Lodge Freeway in Detroit, on Saturday, May 6, 2023.More
Police said Monday that the gas station was unlicensed and was shut down by the Detroit Buildings, Safety Engineering, and Environmental Department amid the shooting investigation.
Fortner-Kelly's loved ones are distraught and angry over the death. He was a father of three. His oldest daughter, 14, is about to graduate from middle school.
Before he was killed, Langston said, Fortner-Kelly tried to shield everyone from getting shot.
“That’s just what type of person he was,” said his childhood friend, Tihesha Redmond. “He’s always been a person to be there for everyone around him and take care of them and make sure they’re good.”
Fortner-Kelly was a graduate of Southfield High School and Wayne State University. He had been a substitute teacher, according to Redmond.
He was an outgoing, funny, “comedian-type of person,” Redmond said. “No matter what you’re going through, he’s going to have you laughing.”
“He was truly an earth angel,” added his mother, Marilyn Fortner.
