James, If you would give straight answers to straight questions you wouldn't have that problem. The following is in post #35 it was the second time I had asked that exact same question. The question had two possible answers...agree or dissagree. James, my brother. James, do you agree or dissagree that if a person ebrace and make wise decisions concerning the six issues/points I have presented that person would be able to provide for their own life essentials? If not, please explain why not. Is it a challenge for you to answer a direct question with a direct answer???? THE FIRST TIME I ASKED THE QUESTION I GOT THIS: you are saying that a person has total control over their life. how they do depends on what they do. that is illogical. no man is an island, no one lives in a vacuum. how you do depends on what happens to you as well as what you do. there are external forces beyond your control. ask the people of haiti or NOLA. if i were a white man i would have made four times the money that i was able to make. THE SECOND TIME I ASKED, I GOT THIS: clearly, you feel black people are to blame for our own condition. Speaking of MAKING STUFF UP, I NEVER SAID Black people are to blame for our own condition...YOU MADE THAT UP! YOU DODGED THE QUESTION and threw up the strawman arguement about what I supposedly clearly felt. You have the nerve to claim it is hard to talk to me when it's like pulling teeth to get you to answer a simple straight forward question. The man who refuse to answer straight forward questions is the one who acts as though he is in a dream world and as if his world will come to an end if he were to confront the truth. My standard of "independence" is not that high. You are independent. You pay your own bills, you pay for your own life essentials.
I'm off to demonstrate my independence of this shystem...and work for a living. I can see we are moving further and further away from the original b.s. premise that people surviving in poverty have created their own dependency. I have to wonder who are you gathering information for...whose writing the book? and btw...YES white people are suffering from the same slave addiction and YES emotional and traumatic stress DOES INCREASE the likelihood of physical illness ESPECIALLY blood pressure. no time to filter through all your other stuff. I don't believe you've answered my questions in terms of what you REALLY believe about how this Capitalistic system is set up. Do you know how many people have college degrees even up to the PhD level and are sustained in lower class status..or are underpaid for their talents? Mama Earth
I am still employed and earn income Are you or someone close to you working on a book that provides concrete, tangible results for “beating” the shsytem of white supremacy? Violation of Due Process (doing things correctly) and Equal Protection. Those officials who are in superior authority to assure these laws are upheld. The mistreatment of Afreekans stops in my workplace. lol.. you could have checked whether my intent was to provide “enlightenment” prior to… yes whites suffer the same malady…living the LIES told AS IF they are true. “Until you understand the system of Racism/white supreme lunacy everything else will only confuse you” You are “waiting” for someone to present a vision….wtf:?: ACTION, ACTION, thought you wanted ACTION? That is something that we have to WORK TO DEVELOP …not sit back and wait for “someone to present” so people can sit back on they behinds and critique it to death, throw it out and lay in wait for the next presentation. This ain’t no dang movie…GET UP AND HELP MAKE IT HAPPEN! No I am not “confined” to any ONE label. haha I am not going to sit and write a book for you about my understanding about trauma and the process of traumatization. Its shared all over this board and internet already anyhow. I don’t have a license and that is not a “diagnosis”. You have not paid me for any service so your “malpractice” wont’ hold up either. NO __________, I can not “feel you”. You are across a computer screen! And now I sense disgust. Are you feeling disgusted trying to edumucate us dumb dependent merikkkans? or mayhap it is a projection on my part. I DO FEEL disgusted in this conversation with you. Wtflip is “common observation”. Ahhhh…the KEY WORD HERE IS “MORE”…. FEELINGS ARE NOT FACTS… can a white person “live the black experience?” Maybe they “value and embrace” a different kind of education than what is provided in the halls of academia that are sanctioned as THE only “acceptable” forms of education worth paying for. where was your father:?: and what year did she get her training and in what area of study? Mama Earth
It's not so much that it didn't enlighten, it is simply UNTRUE. The number one killer of the Black man is NOT SLAVE ADDICTION!! The number 1 cause of death in Blacks is Heart disease (25.8%)....well the response might be, yes, that is onset by slave addiction...oh really...its also the leading cause of death in Whites (27.5%)...are they suffering from slave addiction too??? Now this has to be the most laughable statement you have made in this entire exchange. First you make the untrue statement that slave addiction is the number one killer of the Black man. Then, you act as though the true death rate statistics are just an indicator that "whites suffur the same malady" AS IF, WHITE PEOPLE can possibly suffer SLAVE ADDICTION and that SLAVE ADDICTION is the NUMBER ONE cause of death of the White MAN!!!!?????!!!! WHAT?????!!!!!!!!!!??????? According to your logic, SLAVE ADDICTION IS 1.7% HARDER ON WHITE FOLKS THAN IT IS ON BLACK FOLKS!!!

Brother please please please please please tell me you did not write this after the 100 times over 16 different mebers explained to you exaclty what Blak nationalism is and is not
