Where are their businesses in the hood? Whe re are the schools? I like how they go build in Africa, but people in your hood you claim to love need just as much help. As for Monique, little to none of that money will come to the black community so I'm not concerned about her or her supposed issues.

You took the words right out of my mouth in regards to the Mo'Nique issue. When the Magic Johnson theater was built, he had a commercial with a racially mixed audience sitting in the theater, saying "keep it in the community." Yet, he ended up selling the theater. His black face brought in blacks, he sold it to whites, and black faces are still coming there. Now, no matter who owns the theater, the African-American Film Festival will always be held there every February. The Black American community and poor Black Americans enrich Black Democratic politicians and Black celebrities, but the overwhelming majority sever themselves from us or actively join whites and immigrants in working towards our genocide. less

They don't concern themselves with "black issues," because doing so will hurt them financially. I agree with Mo'Nique that she really was offered substantially less than a white woman and less than both white and black males. However, I am on the fence about it. Yes, she was racially discriminated against by Netflix, because she is a Black woman. However, I don't think I really care about her as a wealthy Black American, because wealthy Black Americans don't care about the Black American poor. A family member took me to a Black comedy club years ago and I will never go again. Almost every Black comedian called us n-words. There were a few whites in the audience and several white hostesses. Even if the room was 100 percent Black, I still don't want anyone calling me or my people n-words. Think about how many Black actors and musicians enrich themselves by calling us the "n-word" in their movies, music, and comedy... less

Like whites and immigrants the African-American bourgeoisie enriches themselves from our poverty and sufferings and then, turn to us can call us lazy n-words for demanding reparations. The African-American bourgeoisie holds their individual successes as "a credit to their race." The African-American power elites are post-modern house slaves. They racially discriminate and oppress us in exactly the same ways as whites and immigrants or they are completely apathetic to our plight. As long as things are going well for the African-American bourgeoisie, they have no use for us and no value for us. We are "enslaved consumers" for whites and immigrants as well as the African-American bourgeoisie. I agree that Mo'Nique was racially discriminated. She is an Oscar-winning actress. Unless, Netflix can prove with a market research study that Mo'Nique would not bring in much money, I agree that Mo'Nique deserves millions. Am I going to do anything about it? No.... less

Someone shared this video with me on Facebook. This video is the first time I have ever heard Mo'Nique speak for herself and not acting a role. She is not what I thought she was. I was wrong to vote, "Yes, I stand with her, but...," because she is conscious. Her husband is conscious. She is right not to work for free or for less money, because she is Black. I have been disillusioned by so many racist Black entertainers that I assumed she gained her success by selling out her people like so many others. I was wrong. She has spoken up for herself and other Blacks in entertainment for equal respect in the industry. She has been blacklisted by both Blacks and Whites in entertainment for asserting her equality in similar ways that I have suffered. I want Netflix to pay her what she is demanding. She is worth it. less

We need our reparations for ongoing slavery and genocide against our population. Is she going to risk her career in order to advocate for reparations for us in exchange for our boycotting Netflix? Will other Black celebrities advocate for our reparations if we boycott against Netflix? Is all or most of Black Hollywood going to stop using the n-word accept as a social critique against racism against Black American slave descendants by both racist whites and racist blacks? I want something in exchange for boycotting Netflix. What do you all think about responding to No'Nique and the rest of the Black entertainers with some demands in exchange for our continued support? For example, if Black comedians don't stop using the n-word, we will boycott the comedy clubs, but that is a flaw most Black Americans need to work on.

Sepp Holzer is Austrian and speaks German, if I recall correctly, and he uses biodiversity to his advantage in organic farming. He also digs ponds for aquaculture as well. According to the three documentaries, if we farm in harmony with nature, we will enrich the soil and work less to grow an abundance of crops for self-sufficiency and for sale. He uses composting and raised beds in his farming practices. He does not depend on giant farming equipment, so he leaves less of a carbon footprint in terms of greenhouse gases and fossil fuels. He scatters a mix of seeds together to keep the plants and soil healthy. There isn't a row or a field of lettuce here and a row or field of cabbages there. The crop is mixed. Different things will grow next to each other. According to the documentary, cultivating a single crop makes the soil less fertile, requiring the expense of fertilizers and pesticides, but if you grow several crops together, there will be no need for fertilizers and pesticides, because no one species of plant or pest will dominate or threaten the crop. I think he said one-third of the crops goes to humans, one-third to farmed animals, and one-third to wild animals who eat at the edge of the property. I don't recall exactly, but the point is not all of the crop was meant to go to a grocery store or the dinner table. Some was left to wild or domesticated animals. I think he even said he grows crops around the perimeter of the property, so wild animals will eat the things they like and not eat the crops that humans like. The reason why I am sharing this is to motivate Black Americans to build a nationwide organization exclusively for Black Americans, because we can pool our money together and take control of our own food supply. Other races control our food supply; therefore, they control our minds and behaviors as a group. If we want to liberate ourselves from economic and psychological enslavement, we must organize on a national scale to produce things like food, clean water, clothing, housing, and transportation, because the Black Democrats you empower with your votes every electron will not do these things for you. I believe there are six million Black Americans between 18 and 64, living below the poverty line. Yet, those with a job and supposedly living above the poverty line can also live pay check to pay check. They are like a pay check away from being homeless or hungry even with a job. Voting for Black Democrats will not break that cycle of poverty. So, why vote for Blacks, who give you slavery and genocide in return for your votes? Why sit back and complain about the way things are when the Black house slaves many of you may be voting for won't help you, but hurt you? We have to break with tradition and do something new. If any of you don't like other races controlling us, please consider my ideas on making a national group of one million to six million Black Americans to pool our money together and to produce and control our basic necessities of life. If you don't like my ideas, please present your own. We need to debate and push on each other until we meet in the middle. I have created polls in HTN to inspire debate over these things. Please ask yourselves if the way things are now, are actually working to our benefit as Black Americans. Or, ask yourselves whether if what you or others are doing right now as an individuals or as grassroots organizations, making a dent in our social, economic, and political status in the USA. Is what you or others in grassroots organizations succeeding in your goals for Black Americans? Or, is what you or grassroots organizations are currently doing, only beneficial for yourselves as self-appointed leaders and your exclusive, network of friends, community partners, and family members? At the end of the day, middle-classed and poor Blacks end up spending a majority if not 100 percent of our welfare and pay checks go into the hands of racist whites, immigrants, and black house slaves, who control our food supply and can retaliate at any time. If we protest as group in the streets or as an individual in the courts, they will raise store prices on us, raise the rents to evict us, or employ their massive networks to blacklist us from employment, the courts, legal representation, health care, and social services. If your grassroots organizations have not eradicated the threat of retaliation from our oppressors and have not created a nationwide self-sufficient Black American economy, then maybe, your grassroots organization needs to try something new. Maybe we need to think and do something big. Please watch the Sepp Holzer's Permaculture documentaries if you can get Kanopy from your local library. We were put to work on Native American soil as farmers against our will. We have the potential to create healthy organic food just like Sepp Holzer, but we can't do it by ourselves. We need millions of Black Americans involved and not one of us have all the answers, so let's use the diversity of specialized knowledge within our own population of Black Americans, who want to liberate ourselves from postmodern racial slavery. Tiny Black American grassroots organizations need to come together into one big, nationwide organization. We have very little money as individuals, but we have millions of potential laborers to put to work on a farm or some other project and those same millions can consume whatever they produce, creating self-sufficiency for those, who want to be free of racial slavery and genocide. #food, #farm, #farming, #permaculture, #freedom, #liberation, #socialcontrol, #foodsupply, #blacks, #blackamericans, #economics, #enslavedconsumers. less
