#ADOS No.11 - Nigger Distractions And Gay Hypocrisy

The motherfuckers have come out of the either, the woodwork, and from under the rocks. This includes dormant reparations organizations that have been blinded by the sudden light of #ADOS. These same organizations have not produced one dime of reparations or practical execution, despite being in operation for more than forty years. They have backed a semitrailer full of shit up to the door. And now they are throwing - aiming for the goddamned wall - and trying to see what sticks (nothing yet). Their creativity has unrelentingly revved-up and those motherfuckers are going at it -  Man!

"OH Look!!!":

- ADOS has ulterior motives.

- ADOS = Russian bots.

- ADOS is anti-immigrant.

- ADOS does not recognize history.

- ADOS is a right wing twist away from previous reparationist tendencies.

- ADOS shrinks reparationist politics to fit the cramped horizon of tribalism.

- ADOS is a dangerous insertion into the reparations dynamic.

- ADOS is not a legitimate thing.

AND... This show stopping grenade:

ADOS is another LGBT front movement.

This last one being directed at Ms. Yvette Carnell. Motherfuckers are alarmed and jealous, and just trying everything possible to dismantle - to stop this movement. These actions include weaponizing the Black community's religiously tinged and confused relationship with the LGBT's among us. Please. I really don't give a flying fuck what Ms. Carnell's sexuality is. Or who she is or isn't sleeping with. Or whatever the fuck she ate for breakfast. So fucking what. How is that a subject here? Niggers are some of the most silly, pea-brained, ignorantly distracted, and willfully stupid sonofabitches on this fucking planet.

Really? This is what we are going to do?

The accomplishment of reparations will be the third biggest event in the history of Black Americans. Slavery, Freedom, and now This. You know - maybe we are as a people incapable of big-pictureism. Incapable of operationalism. Incapable of doing pure business sans the dumb shit. Incapable of ignoring unimportant minors so that we may focus on the important major. The way we can focus on a single contentious molecule - and blow that bitch up into an entire mountain is amazing.

I only wish that we could work together from a more enlightened place. Because I know white folks can and do. They Think. They don't let anybody's (alleged) sexuality get in their way of assessing the value of a person's skills and goals most of the time. Especially as far as them accomplishing some really important shit regarding power and/or money.

You ever heard of Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben? No? Probably not. This dude served as George Washington's chief of staff in the final years of the Revolutionary War. He was actually one of the fathers of the Continental Army and taught them the essentials of military tactics and disciplines. He strictly trained the troops in advanced techniques of putting down an enemy with or without arms. He had left the Prussian army because of staff reductions and (later) allegations of homosexual conduct. General Washington understood the man's talents - and finally took him on as chief of staff. He is credited for turning raggedy volunteers into a great army. And - the United States would not have prevailed over the British without his gay ass. But this is white folks being productively operational.

Do you understand?

You Niggers ready to get rid of your i-Phones? Why not? You do know that the CEO of Apple is Tim Cook? Right? A fully open gay man? Right? What do you look like? Giving money to a faggot? Why you fuck with his ass Man? For a phone? Yet - I see straight-up straight heterosexual motherfuckers flashing their latest purchased i-Phones all the time. Proud as fuck. You DO know the phone is gay. Right? But y'all love that phone. And he [Tim Cook] be working that business. I don't see you making light of his sexuality for shit (or did you know?). But this is white folks being productively operational.

Hey!!! Throw out your computers motherfuckers. They GAY!!! Alan Mathison Turing was an English mathematician, computer scientist, logician, and cryptanalyst. OH SHIT! His gay ass was the father of modern theoretical computer science, and artificial intelligence. He created the basic model for general purpose computing (the framework of the PC). Despite these accomplishments, he was never fully recognized in his home country during his lifetime. Homosexuality was a crime then in the United Kingdom. But it is not a crime here [in America] now, and homosexuality has nothing to do with OUR task at hand. He would have accomplished more - but he was disastrously sidetracked by unproductive white homopersecution.

Do you understand?

But we Black people are hypocritically selective with this shit.

I have never seen any Niggers throw shade at - or make light of the open as fuck gay sexuality of any of the white men they love to throw money at. Like:

- Halston

- Yves Saint Laurent

- Domenico Dolce & Stefano Gabbana 

- Pierre Cardin

- Calvin Klein

- Perry Ellis

- Marc Jacobs

- Jean-Paul Gaultier

- Christian Dior

These guys are Rich Nigger favorites. You know? Motherfuckers be dropping that cash. You know? And them "Stylish" assed Niggers - be straight-up flossing baby (loud and happy), super-stepping with the overpriced bullshit they just bought from these two openly gay dudes in particular:

- Giorgio Armani

AND

- Gianni Versace

And the sexiest colored ladies know they are lacking in the shoewear department unless they can score them some "RED BOTTOMS" by "what's that dude's name?" Oh - Christian Louboutin. OK. He gay. No shade? And every one of these guys are taking money OUT of your pockets. And ain't gave back shit. But the shade and vitriol and homoanimus is reserved for a dear and determined Black woman that is trying to put substantial amounts of money IN your pockets. And substantial benefits in your life.

And let us not forget the great gay Alessandro Michele - isn't he the fashion director for GUCCI? All those super-masculine rappers and homonegative Hip Hop maestros be flossing this GUCCI shit all day - and Alessandro is GAY as a motherfucker. 

I don't see y'all fucking with church choir directors either.

I don't get it Guys.

In Chicago - during rush hour - on the trains - on every car. There are at least eight Black people that has at least one item from Micheal Kors. OK? His shit is everywhere in the Black community. And He's very - very GAY - with no Niggers making light of it. Giving him more money than they give the preacher. And I don't remember (the gay) Mr. Kors initiating or supporting any program to put money in Niggers pockets. At All.

But y'all support him. Why?

And not her. Why?

And y'all ain't got shit. Why?

OHhhh... I understand this shit now. Ms. Carnell ain't making nothing for motherfuckers to wear.

Is that the problem?

Tell you what - I'm gonna manufacture the new:

"Pot To Piss In Collection."

A Signature Line by Yvette Carnell.

How's THAT?

Look. It is time for us to come off the pettiness, the nitpicking, and the general niggerishness we like to do. I don't know what her sexuality is. Don't care what it is. And, regarding this issue - it is not important. Ms. Carnell is sincerely with and for us. That is why I (a Boomer) support her. And I ain't NEVER ever heard her talking about LGBT issues in conjunction with #ADOS. NEVER. She has never deviated from the subject. Whomever is asserting this nonsense is full of shit. We need to get serious about the business serious sisters and brothers are trying to accomplish for all of us and GET ON CODE.

So we can get our MONEY...

#ADOS No.8 - Africa Can't Get It Together

Amazing Brother - Oshay Duke Jackson here destroys the Pan-African reparational and unificational fantasy through reiterating the same dysfunctional SHIT I saw in Africa years ago. And points out why it is foolhardy (for #ADOS) to attempt to unify with them regarding any business (like reparations). I saw it then - I see it now. He sees it and tells it now. Ahh... No wonder so many Africans are trying to get Green Cards here. This video totally sums up the anti Pan-African view beautifully with the truth.

Watch.

#ADOS No.4 - Make Some Sense

All the Diasporans (all of them) I have ever met only concentrate on their respective tribes. Whether they are in Africa - or here in America - or elsewhere. It seems like only African Americans are serious about Pan-Africanism - while everyone else is lip-servicing and working on uplifting their respective tribes. At the same time seriously separating themselves from us. Pan-Africanism is not a realistic goal to me anymore. No reciprocity from the Diaspora to us African Americans. It is time for us to do something about ourselves.

For ourselves...

#ADOS No.3 - Anti Reparation Talking Points

#ADOS No.2 - What White People Know

This is an interesting video. Be good to listen to all of it. It is only in the first few minutes that the noise occurs. But listen through. Even he knows that reparations should be in the "tens of trillions".

He said it - Listen.

#ADOS No.1 - Three Answers To Pan-Africanists

With any movement that is for and by Black people - we always have to deal with the usual Black obstructionists within our own ranks. You know - nigger preachers, Black conservatives, Jack And Jillers, Boule's, Black talking heads on liberal media, Black talking heads on conservative media, instructed columnists, instructed scholars, stupid athletes, talk show-ers, empty think tank-ers, steak-lunch-eating civil rights professionals, bought politicians, religious Negroes, religious Negroes that don't vote, apathists, tap dancers, shoe shiners, Black people that are married to white people, Negropeans, African immigrants, Caribbean immigrants, the "Can't-Be-Doners!!!" - 

And the "Why-Nowers???". 

The shocker though, was the viciously negative reactions of many Pan-Africanists. Blew my mind Family. You don't always get what you expect. Right? Specifically - the two that I was very surprised with - Dr. Umar Johnson and Dr. Conrad Worrill. 

WOW. 

Below - I will give three full blown responses to words pointed in my direction on Facebook from Dr. Conrad Worrill. Details about Dr. Conrad Worrill can be found on Wikipedia. 

1. Conrad Worrill: "The emergence of #ADOS in the Reparations Movement through social media is causing a great deal of confusion for people who sincerely support the demand for reparations. #ADOS has asserted itself into the Reparations Movement in America with no apparent historical context of reference to the on the ground work that has taken place the last thirty or forty years. They are operating in a historical vacuum."

Arthur Ward: "Social Media?" The best way to communicate ideas today. Shows the organizers have a good sense of efficiency - and that is probably why it has caught fire in the way that it has. "Confusion?" I don't think so. The ordinary Black person on the street may not have the detailed policy analytics or deep historical knowledge that you may possess. But, the average Black person has enough overall understanding of the genesis of the issue - the directly and historically experienced pain caused by the issue - and what the probable solution to the issue should be. So Sir - there is no "vacuum". People are just not willing to wait another thirty to forty years for ground games - policy creation - law establishment - and payouts to happen. Not at this point. And if #ADOS is the final solution - I would say that YOU should be proud of being part of the process-heritage that brings us HERE.

Stop being an obstructionist to the fruition of your own work.

"#ADOS has asserted itself into the Reparations Movement in America?" What do you mean by that statement? Yes - #ADOS has asserted and moved. But does N'COBRA, Dr. Conrad Worrill, or other Reparations movements or organizations established prior to #ADOS somehow own this issue? Do you or others hold copyrights or patents on this? If you do - please show me the paperwork. Do The Black Panthers own the rights to Black folks defending themselves against the police too? We did not know we needed your permission to petition for what is rightfully ours. Glad you let me know Sir.  

2. Conrad Worrill: "I despise your reparations advocacy that is anti African immigrant and anti Pan-African. And for the record, we are not scared at all. We are freedom fighters who disagree with you and the divisive nature of your tactics. Try all you want, but we will continue to challenge the absurdity of your positions as we continue to help press for the Reparations Demand for African people in America."

Arthur Ward: How is any #ADOS advocacy anti African immigrant or anti Pan-African? Really? What is there to "despise?" How is an American domestic issue between specific entities anti anything to third parties that are inappropriately inserting themselves into a contention that has nothing to do with them? The only division is #ADOS push back telling others to: "Mind your business." When others mind their business - there is no division. 

Believe me. 

Sir - instead of "challenging the absurdity of my positions". That energy would be better spent challenging the absurdity of political professionals opposing, deflecting, minimizing, and politicizing my position. Which is the #ADOS position. You See? Better spent making constructive, scholarly, suggestions on improving policy. 

Your challenge statement is interesting though. 

OK. 

Now - according to you, my position is "absurd". And my position IS to "help press for the Reparations Demand for African People in America". At the same time - you are going to challenge me on that position. While YOU continue to "help press for the Reparations Demand for African people in America". OK. I will be looking forward to that challenge Sir.  

3. Conrad Worrill: "We just disagree. There is nothing in-house about the Transatlantic Slave Trade and the capturing of African people in the Western Hemisphere. We [American, Caribbean, and South American slaves] were impacted by the same forces and we [the Diaspora] have now united in our demands for Reparations for African people worldwide."

Arthur Ward: Dr. Worrill - I would have expected a little more from you than just: "We just disagree". That was a sincere and respectful question [how you would improve the #ADOS approach and conceptualization] - I really do want to understand in detail why you disagree AND what from your perception and understanding we can do to improve we are doing. Like I said: "... we are trying."

You are correct when you say: "There is nothing in-house about the Transatlantic Slave Trade... YES SIR. But - everything that happened to our ancestors was definitely in-house once we landed here. Brazil, Haiti, Dominican Republic, France, Spain, etc. had nothing to do with AMERICAN policy on how to deal with slaves. These other places also had nothing to do with Jim Crow, American style lynching, the KKK, etc.

Everybody else had their own ways and issues and handlings when it came to slavery. They all had different policies and laws in their post-slavery situations. These are all different countries that are better dealt with in the aggregate by their own citizens, for their own - specific, local benefits. Internationally - each solution HAS TO BE different and focused and strategically done per country. That would be the most practical and effective way. 

I also think that what we accomplish can serve as a general blueprint for other African Diasporans similarly situated around the world.

Facebook!!! On Creflo Dollar

"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?"

Matthew 7:7 KJV

Whew!!! This is from a Facebook post discussion regarding the now infamous request by globetrotting clergyman Creflo Dollar for funding to purchase a 65 million dollar Gulfstream G650 jet.

FW Famous - I never thought much of him.

KH Noel - His last name is Dollar...

LB Sanka - False prophet... That's it in a nutshell... SMH.

Apanage21 - Please - I don't think much of any of them [clergy]. The surprising thing is that billions of people over the course of centuries continue to fall for this nonsense. It is not Mr. Dollar's fault - if it was not him, it would be someone else. Where there are suckers, there will always be someone to accommodate and profit from "suckerhood." 

So, the question is not whether Mr. Dollar will continue to collect - the question is: "When will the suckers wake up?" "False prophet?" Every accuser that makes that determination towards "Pastor A," seems to have a different, contradictory, and individual yardstick than the other accuser that is pointing at "Pastor B" across the street, along with the other accuser pointing at "Pastor C" on the next block for the same reason - and so on - and so on. Then you have all three individual supporters of "Pastors A, B, and C" - serial cross-pointing at each other's pastors, making the same accusations. What are we looking at here?

This universally habituated practice (at least on the surface), seems to render the "false" accusation meaningless, but at the same time - the practice itself can be strategically provocative. Because if you ask any believer about qualifiers, you will find that there is no universally agreed upon "false" standard: "What do YOU mean by false - and why is YOUR assessment the correct one?" I haven't heard a good, useable or even consistent answer yet. The determination of "falseness" ultimately (as far as I can see this) is both denominationally driven - an organized and sustained inter-sectarian animus to potentially increase market share for the accusing denomination(s) and/or pastor(s), and then, from the individual believer's standpoint, emotionally subjective - an empty, auto-reinforcing self-assurance that one is in "the right church." 

There is nowhere to go with that.

Accusations of "false" are also strategically and politically selective. Mr. Dollar is an absolute piker when it comes to the all-time champion of pious pimpery - the Catholic Church. Does Dollar have any facility that can compare with the baroque super-opulence of the Vatican? 

The "Vatican Bank?" A bank dude? In the name of Jesus? OK... Didn't he [Jesus] turn over some (money changing) tables in a temple? Solid gold crosses (for real) for the Pope to wear? That's Pimpin'! Dude got bulletproof "Popemobiles" donated by several major automobile manufacturers? And nobody asks why the Pope would need a bulletproof "anything." Vatican buy a plane? The Pope? Buy? Please. That's for SIMP's... Alitalia Airlines will just hand over a jumbo commercial jet (free) for his private use whenever he wants to fly... THAT'S pimpin' - OK? A whole church organization - being able to SCREW children, get away with it, and still be able to get hundreds of millions of suckers to voluntarily hand over billions of dollars - even after that nasty revelation? I don't see that many substantive accusations of "falsity" pointed here - but there should be.

And to still - right now, these people, being able to hypocritically moralize you and me? Seriously? I mean really - here you have, an internationally respected, non-accountable, no tax-paying, anti-moral, pedophile protection organization - that is brazenly allowed to diplomatically influence governments as well? To tell YOU whom you can sleep with - and how - as well? Where are the "falseness" accusations here? Really? This is pure clerical criminality, abetted by piously driven political expediency. We have all that - remember now, we are talking about clergymen screwing children - with no judicial or regulatory shut-down of Catholic operations? 

You tell me that ain't PIMPIN'...

OK... Dollar has some real catching-up to do. 

LQ Generous - This negro, and all the rest of these false prophets got a lot of people fooled... They want to live a lavish lifestyle, while their so-called congregation suffers. He better catch a 99 dollar Southwestern flight... Tomfoolery at its finest... Trust and believe he will get that jet, because his congregation has been brainwashed.

RL Equal - My pastor said even if he could afford a private jet, he would never purchase one. Why? He says you can't reach any lost souls on your own plane. Fly commercial and minister to the folks.

(I was wondering if that was the same obnoxious preacher that was attempting to proselytize in my direction the last time I was catching a flight to Vegas. Oh well...)

Apanage21 - OK... They have a lot of people fooled. But - conversely, what would they teach in honesty? That putting a knife to your child's throat is a good loyalty test (Genesis 22:2-8)? That a woman should marry her rapist (Deuteronomy 22:28-29)? That it is cool to beat a slave to within an inch of his life (Exodus 21:20-21)? Or, should they double-down on that whole tithing, giving - donation - "sowing a seed" part (citing Leviticus 27:30, Numbers 18:26, Deuteronomy 14:24, 2Chronicles 31:5 - along with, 1Corinthians 16:2, James 1:5 - and, 2Corinthians 9:7)? They [prosperity preachers] do that "sow a seed for a harvest" stuff pretty well (especially on TV), and you cannot accurately say that the "donation and effect" concept as interpreted and preached, cannot be biblically sourced and utilized towards certain ends.

After all - all of these supposedly "Dollerian" preachings are biblical in a broad sense (if you check your Bible). And the "all knowing, all seeing" (that includes the future) creator of the universe, as described therein, did not expend any biblical prohibitions on members of the priesthood (or clergy) owning private jets. I did a thorough check of the Bible regarding this - I was totally surprised, considering the indignation out there - it ain't in there. I think I will mail my check tomorrow... 

I don't want to miss my blessing. 

Sir - when you look at your Bible, God is quite pointed, quite specific about the things or actions he DOES prohibit like: Not working your SLAVES on the Sabbath (Exodus 20:8-11)... Right? Or - not wearing clothes that are made of fabric that combine two or more types of fiber - like silk and wool, or cotton and polyester (Leviticus 19:19)... Right? Or - the crystal clear, exquisitely explicit no-nos he gave folks regarding the consumption of the pork-swine-pig (Leviticus 11:7-8 and Deuteronomy 14:8)... Right? And again Sir - any prohibitions on jet ownership - and then considering the widespread indignation.

It just ain't in there - nothing...

I mean - it didn't sound like God was kidding around, or leaving room for anyone within his infinite creation to make any arrogantly unauthorized allowances, or expend any new interpretive constructs behind HIS word when HE said: "Those who consecrate and purify themselves to go into the gardens, following one who is among those who eat the flesh of pigs, rats and other unclean things - 'they will meet their end together, with the one they follow', declares the LORD (Isaiah 66:16-17)." See my point? Why do Christians ignore clear prohibitions that are there [in the Bible] - while making-up prohibitions that are not there [in the Bible] - at the same time, claiming divine attribution to those made-up prohibitions that don't exist? Only and just because some well-known Christian personality may be out there doing or saying things that might place some degree of unfavorable light on Christian PR... 

Why, Sir?

So - let us be fair... If a good Christian can go to a restaurant, after Sunday services - even though the Bibically specified "Sabbath" would actually be on that Saturday (see Exodus 20:11, Exodus 31:16-17, and Deuteronomy 5:12-15, etc.) - and the Christian(?) waiters and cooks employed at that restaurant should not be working on that day - that's what it says... Right? Good Christian - wearing a silk and wool suit, on top of a cotton and polyester shirt... And then - placing an order of pork chops with his Sunday Brunch meal... And Christian, don't forget to say grace over those pork chops please.

So - if the average knowing Christian can openly blow-off explicitly specified Biblical prohibitions himself - with no critical static coming from other Christians - why can't Mr. Creflo DOLLAR get his money, and acquire his beautiful Gulfstream luxury jet in peace?

And I don't want to hear that - "we are now under grace," or "covered in the blood," or that "we are under another dispensation" type nonsense. Don't contradict your own book. Your Bible says: "Jesus came to fulfill the Law - not abolish it (Matthew 5:17)." Meaning, in dictionary type standard English - NO rescinding of Old Testament prohibitions. He also didn't come to abolish clerical ownership of private jets. He didn't. And no one - off the tops of their righteously interpreting heads can rightly say that he did. OK? 

There are no direct, nor indirect latter-day qualifications added by the so-called LORD, nor are there any specifically repealing divine-source amendments that would alter, attenuate, or nullify those particular prohibitions found anywhere in the Bible.

Not one... But Christians eat PORK anyway.

Right?

So why can't Creflo have his jet? I mean - if we are so "under grace" - as you Christians say - and if this "grace" graciously allows YOU to have your pork chops (despite clear, unrepealed Biblical prohibitions) - in the same logical vein, "grace" should allow Mr. Dollar to have his jet (which has no Biblical prohibitions at all).

God - apparently seems to have no problem with it...

FW Famous - @Apanage21... Quoting you: "And the 'all knowing, all seeing' creator of the universe, as described therein did not expend any biblical prohibitions on members of the priesthood (or clergy) owning private jets." Yes, He did. As a follower of Christ, it is plain that Jesus warns these false shepherds against doing what Creflo Dollar is doing. Some folks call Jesus' teachings "pie in the sky." You take a big gamble in placing the material over the spiritual. I actually feel sorry for Creflo Dollar. He doesn't have a clue.

Apanage21 - @FW Famous... "As a follower of Christ," it would seem that you should be able to recognize polemics, irony, and satire when you see it. That was not a serious statement. If you read it again, you will see that I am actually making fun of Mr. Dollar's game-playing. I assumed the majority of people on this post were sophisticated enough to recognize nuanced humor. I apologize, if I phrased myself in such a way as to engender misunderstanding.

But - the other thing... You say: "He doesn't have a clue." Oh, on the contrary - I think we are the ones that "don't have a clue." After all, HE IS the one that is about to receive 65 million bucks for a luxurious sky-ride. While the self-described folks like yourself, that are supposedly "full of clues" ARE NOT (as far as I know). Would it be reasonable to assume that ALL the folks that "have a clue" can decisively determine whom among us "has a clue," and who doesn't? Is that assumption correct? And that determining group includes YOU... Is that correct? 

What usable value this ability carries with it, I don't know.

Soooo - how does this work? OK... The "no-clue" folks acquire top of the line Gulfstream jets, with a bed, shower, wet bar, desk, ample leather seating, gourmet food, beautiful flight attendants, private boarding area, etc. At the same time - the "clued-up" folks are "blessed" to wait in TSA lines, and ride coach, so as to sit in the middle seat between a babbling hypochondriac with bowel problems on the one side, and an overweight nose-picker that forgot to apply deodorant, of all days, on the other. And the plane is 107% full. For refreshment - a snarky flight attendant throws a bag of peanuts at you for five dollars. Champagne? For you? 

Coach? Forget it... 

And... "HE doesn't have a clue..?" 

I am trying to process that. 

FW Famous - @Apanage21... On the contrary of contraries. You say those who are giving him the money "ARE NOT full of clues." Of course, I agree. They are not [full of clues] because they know not the Word. It warns of false shepherds: "Whoa be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves (Ezekiel 34:1-10)." "Yeah, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand. They all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter (Isaiah 56:1-2)."

And no, they do not have a clue. Here, pastors should be teaching End Times prophecy, and instead people like Dollar are preaching "prosperity" theology. Dollar wants a new plane because his is aging, and because he had an incident of engine failure. He can also have engine failure on the new plane. No - prosperity theology is the last thing people should be teaching in these End Times. 

We have global warming, something right-wing Christians do not want to include in End Times theology because it interrupts capitalism and their own prosperity theology. Yet - we have snow in the South, especially in Texas on a scale never before seen in those regions like that. Sinkholes open up in unexpected places. We see asteroids flying past, and some of the smaller ones making visits. Fact: NASA has a goal of identifying 90% of asteroids at least 460 feet large by 2020, and yet only 10% have been identified so far. 

We are due for an asteroid hitting a populated area and, there's nothing we can do about it. Yes, the Earth is large. But if a person can beat the odds and win the Lotto, then an asteroid can beat the odds and hit a populated area. It's only a matter of time. Putin tests our air defenses. We have a congress that wants to supply weapons to Ukraine, which is an understandably bad move. We are closer to World War III than you think. Mankind's going crazy and making laws that allow concealed weapons. White policemen still think unarmed black men are good target practice. Mankind is still giving us cancer causing foods for a profit. We are still due for a technology damaging solar storm. That Apanage21, is how it works. These pastors see the world coming apart and (because their hearts are into their own selfishness and greed), DON'T HAVE A CLUE of what's going on and sadly, neither does their flocks. 

RL Equal - Truth!^^^^^^^^^^^^  

LQ Generous - I wish I could like that statement 10 times FW Famous... So true. Every time I look at this post... It pisses me off... People like this who prey on the elderly, the sick, and stupid people... I don't trust none of them to be honest. Unfortunately, a lot of people don't see it... That's why most of these pastors have lost a lot of credibility with me.

RR Overton - He should be building up the community and give back, since he's on top.

Apanage21 - @FW Famous... OK, first Sir - let us separate out the things that have nothing to do with this discussion:

1. "Sinkholes" - Oh... OK - so, you know about sinkholes... OK. Well, as you supposedly know, these are naturally occurring where the rock below the surface is limestone or other carbonate rock, where it can easily be dissolved by fresh groundwater. Sinkholes will happen anywhere, anytime those ground factors are present. And as you should know, Sir - this is natural, everyday phenomena that has been going on for billions of years.

Has nothing to do with "End Times."

2. "Asteroids?" - OK. So experts are behind on identifying them. Scientists have a full plate these days. Asteroids hit all planets. Why would we be the exception for this not happening? But if more of us would pool our intellectual resources to develop techniques that will stop an asteroid from possibly hitting us - I think that would be a much more productive use of our collective processing power than wasting it on whether some charlatan should be preaching "End Times" rather than "Prosperity" theology.

3. "Global Warming Theory being included in End Times Theology?" - OH MAN, I would love to attend that sermon. I would be more than curious to watch some pulpit pounder convincingly "hook these two up." Soooo - how do you preach sophisticated 21st century scientific theory combined with a 2000 year-old "End Times" theology that is sourced from a book that describes the earth as flat? And I am citing these: Deuteronomy 13:7, 28:49, 28:64, 33:17, and Job 2:8, 19:14, 22:27, 33:13, 38:13, 48:10, 59:13, 61:2, 65:5, and 72:8 - there are more verses on that subject that could be cited, but you get the picture. A real science and religion mash-up - let's do this! 

And in the portents that signal the second coming in Revelation 6:13 - where the stars fall from the sky and land on earth (we also read this in Mark 13:25)... To consciously write that in sincerity means - that writer does not know what stars actually are. Stars are rather large objects (some much larger and hotter than our Sun - our Sun is a star), and if just one were to speedily come our way - well... And let us not forget that the alleged original cause for the upcoming "End Times" coda, came from the unfortunate intersecting of a magic tree, a talking snake, and a naked white woman (I am going by the pictures). 

And, we are to somehow combine this pitifully retrograde 2000 year-old "theology" with 21st century, peer-reviewed, global warming science... 

OK.

4. "Concealed Weapons?" - Come on - why should anyone have a problem with that? I believe in equality, and if the criminals can carry concealed weapons, I should have them also. If Trayvon Martin had a concealed weapon like George Zimmerman did - I think that story might have turned out a little different.

5. "Putin tests our air defenses?" - Ah, yeah. So does Israel (surprise, surprise), and China, and Iran, and North Korea, and a whole lot of other entities that know better not to step over a certain line.

6. "White policemen still think unarmed black men are good target practice?" - Yes that's true - and that is a problem to be sure. Notice I said: "A Problem." But - THE problem is that: "Black men still think unarmed black men are good target practice." There is not one place in the City of Chicago that I am reluctant to step into because of the presence of a critical mass of policemen (and yes, I have had my share of driving and/or walking while black incidents, like many of us black folks have) - but I have taken considered pause before going into certain areas of this city because of the presence of a critical mass of armed, and possibly homicidal, young black men.

7. "Weapons to Ukraine" - "World War III" -  "Solar Storms" - "Cancer Causing Foods" - "Snow in Texas" - "NASA facts," this is all "filler" conversation. Let us stay on subject, and keep it moving.

NOW Sir... On with the subject: Mr. Dollar's "theology" (a racket IMO), is no better or worse than what is being preached at the other 31,626 different denominations and sects of Christianity that can be found in America alone. And if you Sir, decide to organize, doctrinize, and then open a facility to propagate your particular theological viewpoint, you could be denomination No. 31,627!!! 

Let us not be unclear about what we are dealing with here: Mr. Dollar is an adept and successful religious businessman. And he is definitely not in business for "salvation" purposes (yours or his). He is in the "faith" (or sucker) business - which can be exceptionally lucrative. So what do you actually expect from him - or any clergyman for that matter?

If you ask me - anyone [any sucker] that is looking for a SHEPHERD, and who wants to self-identify as a SHEEP(?!?), who wants to be part of somebody's FLOCK, deserves to be taken (even for 65 million dollars). The shepherd's job is to prepare the SHEEP for fleecing and slaughter (through tending, feeding, and overseeing the flock - correct?) - that's his job - Right? And herded sheep themselves are considered standouts in dumbness, just within the animal kingdom itself. So - if that's the case - how and why would any human that self-identifies as a SHEEP, and then voluntarily - freely, making himself part of a FLOCK, reasonably be expected - to have the proactive presence of mind to pause, or to think, or to ask any questions? 

"Buy this plane suckers!!! - OBEY!!!" 

OK...

Whoever analogized this sheep/shepherd thing - either did not really think this concept through... OR - he just cynically understood that the average believer is so intellectually vacuous and operationally stupid, that the insulting implication of the sheep/shepherd analogy would go right over their heads. And with most believers - it apparently has.

To me - Christianity is a part of the great White Supremacy System, and I won't go along with it (that is another discussion). Black clergy serve as "proxies" for that system - that's why none of them can be trusted... The only thing that I can say positive about "prosperity" preachers - is that they are the most open about what they are doing, and they do not care that their lies are the most transparent to see through: "Give ME your money, and YOU will prosper!" OK... I thought I saw Bill Gates and Donald Trump sitting in the front pews at Creflo's place? Did I see that? I have to check that tape again...

While I was checking, I ran across a video, in which Bishop T.D. Jakes said: "Jesus is the product." OK... They "market" PRODUCTS - don't they?

OK...

That's from HIS mouth (it's on YouTube). 

The laws of this country allow hustlers like Mr. Dollar to work their game. Pastors need "believers," not "thinkers." The adept can market ANYTHING to a "believer," OK - like 300 dollar sneakers, pet rocks, or some rationale that explains how a 65 million dollar (!!!) luxury jet is NEEDED by a pastor to spread "The Gospel." And those grown folks that do give - do so voluntarily. Black people in America alone hand over cash at the rate of $300 million a week to churches. That is 15.6 billion dollars a year. Sir - have you seen any improvement in our communities that is commensurate with a 15.6 billion dollar figure? 

I haven't. 

"Hustling While Christian" is legal dude, and a 65 million dollar plane is exactly in line with what Mr. Dollar has been doing and saying for years (Creflo has what, 30,000 official sucker-members?). So what's the problem? He will get the plane - watch. What I think is happening with all of the criticism - is that all of this (to some) is bringing bad PR on Christianity in general, and other folks [preachers] don't want THEIR stuff being looked at. So, all of the criticism directed at Mr. Dollar's rich get-over is actually diversional nonsense. That's what I think. Hustlers HUSTLE... OK? You may not be able to stop the hustler - but you can definitely wake-up out of the faith-game and stop yourself from being hustled by the pastor-pimps of this world.
