    Who is going to celebrate Thanksgiving? Why or why not. I'm not because I don't believe in these holidays and making white folks rich.

    Thanksgiving has always been about family for me. My family got together every year and we all gathered around good food and good stories. I don't care where it originated from or how people want to use it to victimize themselves. This is a holiday for my family that has bonded us and that is...

    The Nationof Islam And Black Male Youth Culture

    The story of Nimrod in the bible. You ever read it in full? Dude married his mother, died, and she believed he was reincarnated as a pine tree so she chopped it down, brought it in the house, and put gold and silver all over it. This is where we get the Christmas tree from. People always look at...

    You think the next Switch will be worth getting?

    Some games require investments. I go for ones where I can pick them up and play them a bit and then get back to doing what needs to be done. It is about balance. I know when I was younger, I couldn't do this. I would get hooked on a game and play it for hours every day. Now that I am older and...

    Can I Speak Plainly, Today?

    I noticed that in my social circle as well. A lot of the ladies are headstrong and career-driven. Even the white ones are this way if they are under 30. There are way more black women in college than black men as well. I feel like this needs to change to balance things out or they will...

    How often you workout? How often should we workout?

    When I was more active in my younger years, I could just pick something up and rarely be sore and now these days, I walk up the steps wrong with groceries and I will feel that for a week! LOL So yeah, starting slow will help a lot.

    Anyone else lose interest?

    I get that. I only watched a few matches in MMA and both were Rampage Jackson. This was later in his career though so they weren't as good but I enjoyed them. I think that is what did it in for me. I lost that excitement of cheering on a team and just kind of felt like I was watching for...

    What are your physical preferences?

    In terms of the physical body, what are some things you find most attractive about men or women (or both)? For me, I have always preferred taller men. This is not to say I have not dated shorter men, I just have a preference for height. I like to feel small. I know that sounds silly but it is...

    Anyone else lose interest?

    I used to watch the NBA and the NFL. I was never big into baseball, hockey, MMA, or any of the other sports though but I did love basketball and football at one point. As I got a bit older, I started losing interest. I don't think I watch a full season of the NFL since 2013 and I stopped...

    You think the next Switch will be worth getting?

    Truth. I noticed that with phone upgrades over the years. If you get a better screen that is bigger, your battery life is not going to be good. I think the screens are head of the battery game though. Once batteries get to a point where they can supply and last long, we will have a lot of tech...

    Can I Speak Plainly, Today?

    They tried pushing being independent on women and for a lot of them, it worked. They would rather find their own means for support, have their own careers, and have their own say but for a lot of these women who make all the money, they will not settle for men who make the same or less than...

    Faith Evans always been a hoe.

    I really don't know much about her personal life. I know she had a number of guys run through the sheets at one point but if she had actual relationships with them, it is different than just hopping from one bed to another. Like if she had dated one guy for 4 months, another for 3, then another...

    You think the next Switch will be worth getting?

    I guess that is a point. I have to keep in mind too that Nintendo focuses on sales for kids more than adults and given the games they focus on not needing 4K, it would make sense to not invest in that yet. Not everyone has 4K either and I doubt kids care about that at all.

    The Nationof Islam And Black Male Youth Culture

    Nimrod... That is a name I like to bring up for the Christmas season! LOL Either way, I don't believe they were black in the same sense. They were much darker for sure but their hair and facial features didn't match those of African descent. That is just my view of it based on what I...

    How often you workout? How often should we workout?

    You have to work up a tolerance for your body. I would say if you are just starting out, working out every other day is ideal. You can eventually get to a point where you work out 6 days a week but you don't want to start there, you will only hurt yourself. I don't work out often. I work a lot...

    Think another stimulus check could happen?

    They printed mass amounts of money. They gave some of it out as stimulus checks, pocketed a lot of it and then sent the rest of the bulk overseas. Bezos' net worth doubled in 2020 alone. Wtf difference will it make to the average middle or lower-class family in America to get another $1500...

    When will it stop!

    There are too many stupid social trends that need to end. People have become parrots at this point copy-pasting each other for clicks and attention online. I grew up on the internet so I remember a time when none of this was an issue. There were no blurred lines between art, entertainment, and...

    The Nationof Islam And Black Male Youth Culture

    Yes, I am. You have to look way back to who was in those areas and follow the bible on a historical map. A lot of races have gotten lighter over the years. Look at Egyptians and Jews for two examples, they used to be a lot darker. Again though, I don't think his skin color matters.

    You think the next Switch will be worth getting?

    I don't get why they didn't do the rumored upgrade by boosting it to 4k. I feel like they likely would have gotten more sales. I would only play it docked so yeah, I think I will pass on this one.

    Is it just me or are things not made good anymore?

    I am looking into options for upcycling. I will hit up some thrift stores and yard sales and just upgrade/update older furniture. It seems like there is way more value there. I saw someone who got a used dresser from the 1970s on Craigslist for $70 and updated it completely. Now it looks like a...
