Why anyone would “celebrate” July 4th is beyond my comprehension; it’s silly if you ask me. All that happened that day was that a bunch of white land owning and slave owning men, wrote on a piece of paper that they would no longer be colonies of Great Britain. Which failed to impress the British. The only legal value…

I like your analogy. Malcolm X made a similar analogy when asked about “progress”:

He was on “Finding Your Roots” With Henry Louis Gates, Jr. And he saw in black and white (no pun intended) the actual papers (more like the census of that year) where his ancestors were owned. And if THAT doesn’t sober you up, not only are you NOT African, but you’re not even human. 

To quote the late Dr. Amos Wilson: “What exactly does a black conservative, conserve? To quote further: “There Are Some Black CONSERVATIVES Claim That Slavery Occurred ‘Somewhere Back There’. Some Black Conservatives Who Claim That SLAVERY NO LONGER INFLUENCES THE NATURE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE.

“No, you can have prisons—you just don’t put people in prison as punishment, but rather for rehabilitation and restraint (e.g., like where someone is a threat to themselves or others.) Prison as punishment is a ridiculous waste of money. There are plenty of countries with prisons focused on rehabilitating prisoners…

Well, I go back to the Art Fleming years when the show was produced in New York by Merv Griffin Productions. (Seems ol’ Merv, was not only a game show creator, but also a singer, talk show host and oh, pulled a fast one on Donald Trump) Merv Griffin’s Outrageous Fortune : When Millionaire Griffin Took on Billionaire…

The 70% top tax rate would just restore it to what it was before 1981 and Reagan and the Congressional tax cut; The Economic Recovery Act of 1981. All that Biden is proposing is 70 cents on the dollar for every dollar above 400K. I don’t knowwhat burr is under CaptOtter’s saddle, but either he’s being obtuse or he’s…

I will post the words of the late Dr. Amos Wilson (in cartoon form) to make my point. He was far more learned and articulate than I can ever be:

“Punishment is not an effective deterrent; if it were an effective deterrent, this country would have less crime. And it’s probably even less of a deterrent for people narcissistic personality disorders (read: a whole lot of people in politics) who believe themselves exceptional, or otherwise don’t think they’d get…

No, the point has to be made that this won’t ever be tolerated. Ray Nagin, the former mayor of New Orleans was convicted for his crimes while in office, so also was Kwame Kilpatrick. Not defending either of them but they engaged in the same type of corruption that other white office holders did before them. But why…

To further bolster your argument:

When they do, they’re accused of being “Socialists”. Which when you think about it, they should be. 

John Dickinson: “Mr. Hancock, you’re a man of property, one of us. Why don’t you join us in our minuet? Why do you persist in dancing with John Adams? Good lord, sir. You don’t even like him.”

“

It’s partly our fault; we undertook the job of trying to “prove” ourselves “worthy” of wypippo. It never occurred to us (given the generations of brainwashing and culture destruction) that they were never going to accept us. Beginning with Martin Delaney through Marcus Garvey, then Malcolm X and the NOI, we started to…

Easy. We haven’t organized to the point where we can put quality national candidates on the ballot. Remember, Obama himself came from the DLC (Democratic Leadership Council) and was in position to run only because of a chain of incidents and accidents; namely the revelations of details of the divorce proceedings of…

No, it’s a reminder how so called WHITES treated Blacks. Remember, it’s also white Republicans who gerrymander and suppress votes NOW. You can’t flog the Democrats for their past behaviors and at the same time totally ignore the Republicans for their present behavior.

Perhaps this video analysis can offer some insight on Trubisky:

Not me.

“Dworkin makes a legitimate argument there, but what do they think they would accomplish by banning pornography and/or sex work except make the life of the sex workers more miserable?”
