    Politics

    I certain this isn't going to go anywhere. The Republicans aren't going to let it. This would decimate them. You can hardly get most black people to sit it out. You certainly won't get them to protest vote, especially the old heads. So if it is a legal requirement to vote then the Democrats...

    POLICE REFORM. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU?

    I think that would certainly be a good idea. I know the Polygraph Employment Act of 1988 prevents most employers from using polygraphs as a basis in hiring. The exception is for government employees which police would fall under. Thus police could be polygraphed to ask if they have ever said or...

    POLICE REFORM. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU?

    I just don't think we can use hashtags. The right wing media is always going to try to hi-jack the talking point if we do that. It is so easy to flip a hashtag or small name to sound like something bad. Look at CRT(Critical Race Theory). Most racist white people don't even know what it is but...

    Are you a homeowner or renter?

    With the price of food growing vegetable isn't a bad idea. A healthy idea too!

    Are you a homeowner or renter?

    I agree with you there. You have to learn how to be your own repair man. Luckily for me my Dad used to always fix everything on his own, so I learned a lot from him growing up. Even now I call him to ask advice on certain things. It's worth owning. It's expensive but you are buying piece of...

    Race Soldiers Attack Black Teacher

    The only time they make an excuse is when a white guy shoots up a school or mall. Then it's "He had mental health issues." When they screw up with black people and violate or kill us, it's just another day. That's exactly why when those cops got shot up in Dallas I was like "Good!, Less for me...

    Do you think social media is creating less fulfilling relationships?

    Only if you allow that to be the case!

    POLICE REFORM. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU?

    The only other thing that I could think to add to that would be to weaken police unions. They could have unions but the bargaining agreements go away. Their union would be like any other union. All this nonsense of unionization making them untouchable needs to stop!

    POLICE REFORM. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU?

    Exactly. If you want to change behavior make it cost money to participate in said behavior. That's the idea behind traffic tickets. Why wouldn't this work for police. If that federal funding goes away so does all the bonuses. Away goes the money to buy tanks and military weaponry and all the...

    HOW DID YOU MEET YOUR SPOUSE?

    I guess it is considered outdated now, but I met my wife on a phone chatline. We talked liked each others conversation. We set up a date for that weekend and have been together ever since!

    EMMIT TILL ANTI LYNCHING BILL

    We're the only people who need a damn law to wear our hair the way it grows out of our head.

    Look at my post on Police Reform. That's what we should have. Instead we get nothing burgers.

    POLICE REFORM. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU?

    I think whites and racist are going to go against anything that's against the police. If you say #punishthepolice, They are going to say we can't just punish all police. We can't just have a hashtag. We have to be specific in what we want and be able to explain it. Once we have a specific...

    POLICE REFORM. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU?

    No. That's why I left the profession. I first decided that wasn't for me when a co-worker said that if he saw a car full of black guys driving around he'd think that was suspicious. I explained to him he was describing my evening las night. He kind of gave me a blank stare but didn't back of...

    Are you a homeowner or renter?

    Homeowner. Second time actually. Sold the first one. 3 bed. 2 Bath. 1519 Square Feet. 2 Care Garage. 5,663sqft lot with back patio. Love it. Very nice area and neighbors are all pretty cool. Very quiet area. I didn't want a very big yard. As you can see from the photo I just don't have time...

    POLICE REFORM. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU?

    I'm of the belief that we can't just ask for things using slogans. We must be very specific in what it is we want.

    BREAKING POINT

    Absolutely. It is up to us to get the work done. The last generation failed us. They became complacent with just not being hanged and being able to be around white people. Not having open and in your face racism was enough. That is why Trump scared them so much. It reminded them of the days...

    Is It Time to Drop the Term African American?

    Well as for me, I'm more proud of the African part and a bit disgusted with the American part.
