True. He is a very well known, and influential man. Don Lemon is just a man also.

No. The current Pope says a lot of blasphemous things about Christ. They all do. To prove it all anyone has to do is pay attention.

I can easily say the same about you and several others. You only see & hear what you want. to see and hear.

The current pope said the same thing about Jesus. Nobody here noticed or even batted an eye. Don Lemon maybe catholic and is following the popes' lead on this issue.

That much money will kill the average person.

If the left keeps pushing and tearing down stuff the other side is going to push back eventually. I prefer a more pragmatic approach. I feel a possible big race war or civil war coming on. I would prefer to avoid it if possible.

Tu Pac was well read. J Cole graduated magna cum laude from St Johns. Instead of waiting to get a deg., many saw a big wave & jumped on it and surfed. Dell left UT to start his computer business. Same for Bill Gates. Steve Jobs, etc. Many of those types are multi millionaires or billionaires. Instead of sitting at home trying to crawl from under student loans. Education does work.

I am really not a fan of Kanye, but I did listen to College Dropout, Late Registration and Graduation. I don't recall him mentioning SATs.

He is really throwing shade at someone else.

Nice.

I would say 1/2 of 1 percent of what the NOI says, and they say a lot, resonates with me. A lot of the controversial stuff attributed to Farrakhan I would not know about if I didn't hang around this forum from time to time. My thinking is if the good peeps from Lumberton & Sour Lake detest this person, then there has to be something he is saying that I might like.

'White" militias walk around bearing arms all the time. A few years ago a well armed group walked around in 3rd ward in Houston looking to start a fight with the BLM group. I guess blm has a headquarters over there somewhere. The black panthers showed up at the state building in Sacramento, Ca. That was mostly a photo op. Just gave gay FBI director Hoover a reason to hunt them down like dogs and kill them. I just found out that the guy who supplied guns to the panthers was an informant. So the authorities armed the panthers then turned around and labeled them as dangerous, so they could shoot them. Farrakhan: if folks on this msg board hate him that tells me to listen to him from time to time. I am strictly 7th day adventist christian. I didn't like the way they treated Malcolm X. HBCUs. Prairie View U is doing good things. More than just blacks are benefiting from that college. I have younger friends who have degrees from Prairie View that are living the American dreams, with jobs, and nice homes in places like Cypress, Tx. It is not all bad. My mom was a PV alum. and a teacher. What modicum of intelligence and literacy I have I owe to the good Lord, to my mom, and indirectly the HBCU PV. One of the best HBCUs is Oakwood U in Huntsville, AL. It is a predominantly black, 7th day adventist private HBCU. It sits on 100 acres inside of Huntsville, Al. Some of the best preachers and teachers to grace this planet have come from Oakwood. Not to mention doctors, lawyers, nurses, engineers, etc. They don't play organized sports, which are a waste of time & money. They do not have any of this clown show marching bands either. Also J Edgar Hoover was black. So was Prez Eisenhower, for what that is worth.

Can't say I blame the slaves for going with the British in that occasion. Way before Megan Markle there was British heiress Dido Elizabeth Belle who was of African descent. She had influence on that nation dropping slavery way before this country did. But....as I stated, I usually stick to the 1st stanza then watch the ball game.

"Their blood has wash'd out their foul footstep's pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave," Francis Scott Key was a rich Southern plantation owner, slave owner. He was friends with president Andrew Jackson, another rich Southern slave owner. Key was often in Jackson's ear, making sure that slavery stayed the law of the land. Key's bro in law was Chief Justice Taney author of the odious dread Scott decision. 3rd stanza star spangled banner. Key is talking about killing a bunch of slaves. I don't talk about racism all that much. When it happens I do my research first.

The title of the song is Lift Every Voice and Sing. Some refer to it as the Negro National Anthem. anybody can sing it. I love singing it in church. I hate seeing it smeared in a place like this. But so be it. I still respect the national anthem. Although the 2nd and 3rd stanzas are blatantly racist. I just sing along with the first stanza and let that be it.

I seldom mention trump. It would take up too much time.

then let all organized sports fall. just sit around and villify anyone who does not share your opinion.

Something has to be done. The economy was almost totally open recently. Wearing masks was almost totally done away with. Everybody wear a mask now so I can see the Texans play football.

Lies, darn lies & political forum lies. You're as delusional as 45. [Hidden Content]

Dan Patrick danced around with his words, like the politician he is. The message he and others conveyed were loud and clear: we should sacrifice older people and those susceptible to dying from corona virus so that the economy could be opened up. And it was opened up. And now the virus is much worse than it should be.

That is a waste of time & energy. You only see & hear what u want to see & hear.

Last night I went to Krogers about 830pm to get some dog food. I happened to make eye contact with some woman. She had on a mask. Something about her demeanor let me know in a split second that I had left my mask in the car. So I left my empty grocery cart, went outside and got my mask and put it on. That was frustrating. When everyone eased up on wearing masks I did too. They are hot and uncomfortable. When you go to speak to someone they often don't understand because it comes out garbled.. But I try not to make waves. If 'they' say put them on I do so.

The GOP et al scream about the abortion right to life. Then they turn around and say certain segments of society should be willing to die so as to open up the economy early. Hypocrisy abound on both sides.

Well done.
