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.

I have had several chances to see him play around town, but I never cashed in on those opportunities. I was at a show case at the beginning of last season. His game was the last of the night. I was sore from sitting on the bleachers, so I left. I could kick myself now.

Read Matt 27: 1-50. KJV. As long as the word is in your heart & soul the church & the cross are not going anywhere.

I was not preaching to others. I stated my perspective. I don't remember seeing many crosses. I haven't been directly in church in a couple of months now, due to the virus pandemic. I am sure there are church bulletins with pictures of the cross. There are no stained glass windows with the cross. It is just a church.

Does it matter? Gang bangers wear crosses. It does not make them better. Same for the KKK. Do they burn crosses because they are overwhelmed with love?. Since everyone is set on vilifying blm maybe they use crosses too. IDK.

Are there icons or pictures of Jesus on the cross in my church? No. The fact He did is one of the greatest events in the history of this world. That biblical truth stands on its own merit. I don't need to wear it around my neck on a chain to make it more significant.

Personally I've never seen anyone from BLM. I've never been to their meetings. I don't contribute money to them in any way. The same with the KKK, the Nazis, etc. One of my favorite movies about Christ is The Gospel of John. The lead actor was white, with blue eyes and long brown hair. I overlooked all that so I could focus on the message the film conveyed. That's just me. I doubt seriously if Jesus looked European, but I don't care to open that Pandora's box of controversy. Besides, worshipping idols and icons in the name of worshipping Jesus is a sin. See the 2nd commandment. I didn't sign off on tearing down all those statues. Let them stay. They are going to all burn up soon anyway along with the rest of this world.

I agree. You can't let a word provoke you into prison time, or getting shot. I remember once I was with one of my uncles. We were on the peninsular side of the .Galveston ferry. We were going to or coming from Beaumont/Silsbee. Anyway, my uncle went into this bait house store and I stayed outside in his car. I was about 20 at the time. This drunk cajun looking dude was in the back of a pickup parked not far from us. He just started cursing me out and calling me the N word as often as he could get it out. We were the only blacks there. There were lots of people around but they all kept quiet. They looked embarrassed. My uncle came out of the store and he got an earful of what was being said. I asked my uncle where was his piece. He said no, he didn't have one. I knew he was lying, but I let it go. I wasn't gonna do anything with it anyway. We just drove off. Looking back, when I think about that uncle I think about that incident and how wise he was. He is gone on now, but he taught me something that day.

A cross version of why it happened. Allegedly the guy dropped the N word. The attack was still stupid IMO. Some rapper, said he heard it as well. He was the one who filmed the video.

I can't answer for the actions of every black person in the USA. It is impossible. There are a lot of unblalanced people with serious mental problems walking around amongst us. I doubt if they will get any help with their problems. They will end up dead or locked up. I am not totally against concealed carry. If you have a gun and an LTC do what you have to do to protect yourself. If you are in a department store they should have cameras to back you up.

I lied. I only saw it one time on tv and they did not show the whole event. They shot him fatally and an officer was left blind in one eye. Th
