…..How?…..are we at a point….where if you say anything “Jewish”…..you’re anti-semitic?…..I’ve watched it three times…..I saw and understood the comedy…..but not the anti-anything…..is it because he asked a friend….. “Why do your people dress like RunDMC!”…..why wasn’t anyone upset when he was joking about Black people?……I think the reason people had a problem with the show and Dave is because…..it was “TOO BLACK!”……he said it shouldn’t be this scary to talk…..I’m sure what he meant by that was…..talk about “ANYTHING” without someone having a problem with what’s being said……I remember when society could do that and it wasn’t too long ago…..and the show took a reality trip…..My Potato Hole….white newscasters making a joke about the title…..until they’re told about the names connection to slavery…..House of Dragons…..Black people with blonde hair…..if the show took place in the South Pacific or Brazil…..yes…..but it takes place in an area that’s not called Europe yet……Black Star delivering the “Dopest poetry” of the decade…..a white barber working in a black neighborhood shop…..and everyone knows he’s a cop…..and even Black Heaven…..where the one white guy can’t say words…..which come normal for Black folks…..it wasn’t anti-anything…..just too Black and now days we’re back to…… “Let’s blame Black folks for shit again”…..just a new form of lynching….instead of using a rope…..you hang up a career……but on the other side of the tracks…..you can ignore Prince Andrews the pedophile…..re-elected a Florida senator soon to be charged as a pedophile…..Marjorie Taylor-Greene…..Chucky the murdering dolls sister…..who was re-elected to office, spreads hate, lies and is so vile…..her soon to be ex-husband can’t stand her…..and then there’s Trump…..who blatantly lied to the country, he and his friends stole millions of dollars from the people, stole classified documents…..and let’s admit it folks…..is and was a Russian spy…..and all of them are still not in prison……even though we know they committed crimes……then there’s the GOP REICH-publican party….who will lie, cheat and attempt to steal an election…..to make the country “Right”…..like Far-Right Nazi Right…..and of course we can’t forget the ex-NFL football player who stole $5 million big ones……and not to disrespect Dr. Seuss…..but it seems like all is quiet in….. “WHO?-ville!”……the following day…..the Anti-Defamation League CEO…..Jonathan Greeblatt said this…. “We shouldn’t expect @Dave Chappelle to serve as society’s moral compass.….but disturbing to see @nbcsnl not just normalize but popularize antisemitism…..why are Jewish sensitivities denied or diminished at almost every turn?…..why does our trauma trigger applause?”…..seriously Jonathan?…..you used the “trauma” word?…..let’s talk about how people are trying to deny and hide the atrocities of the slave trade…..one Jewish society contributed to…..financially and by owning slaves……let’s talk about how Black Jews are treated in Israel…..the ones migrating from Africa…..how deportation, rejection and sterilization is being forced upon them…….wouldn’t that be considered some type of….. “Antisemitism” towards Jewish people…..or is this harsh treatment ignored…..because of color?…..and let’s not get started on the Palestinian people.….because that’s just pure cruelty and hatred…..and if you think it’s a topic that should be discussed…..then let’s start at 1947……and work our way up to present day…..it seems like Black people are taught to admire the Hebrew…..the Greek…..the Latin….the Teuton…..and to despise the African!
THE MALI EMPIRE WAS RULED BY THE RICHEST MAN WHO EVER LIVED – SO WHAT HAPPENED?……Mansa Musa the 14th-century African king of the Mail empire…..is said to have amassed a fortune that made him the wealthiest person who ever lived……he caused the valuable metal economic crash of the 14th century…..by simply giving away gold to the less fortunate…..Mansa Musa ruled from 1302 to sometime in the 1330’s…..he managed to expand Mali’s borders to include trade cities of Timbuktu and Gao…..his wealth is inconceivable even by today’s standards.….he would give handfuls of gold to people without so much as an afterthought……the Mali Empire expanded to 800,000sq. km…..it also became an important center of knowledge…..he commissioned the construction of many spectacular buildings in Timbuktu…..which would become a center of Islamic scholarship…..towards the end of his rule…..he built and funded the famous…..Sankara Madrassa…..which became to greatest centers of learning in the Islamic world…..and had the greatest library in Africa….at one point the library held between 250,000 to 700,000 manuscripts…..in 1324 Mansa Musa embarked on a pilgrimage to Mecca…..a journey he hoped would raise the prestige of the Mail Empire…..and put it on equal footing with other Islamic kingdoms…..he took with him a caravan that may have included over 60,000 people…..along with large amounts of gold and other riches…..and this journey was a costly one to him……besides giving out gold to beggars…..he had a new mosque built every Friday……was spending lots of gold a local bazaars…..and during his pilgrimage…..the emperor of Mali flooded the market with so much gold…..that the price of the valuable metal crashed…..he ultimately had to borrow money to finance his trip back home…..after Mansa Musa’s death…..the Mali empire began a slow decline.
