We all gotta do what we gotta do. Hope your New Year rocks!

Done!

Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Never sell your bitcoin or your gold or your silver. Like what is a better asset? I don't know what I would sell for, since I still earn Cuck bucks for my work.

How do I get a Ten 31 hat?

Not the biggest fan of MTG. I basically copied this from another post. I'm not too deep into the zionist stuff, but I do know there is something definitely going on. I'm not anti jew, but things do make me go 🤔

Great rip! Sharing this with some of my normies.

I was listening to a podcast about this not to long ago. I would guess like some app that is password protected where the actual nsec isn't divulged like Alby or something similar. Then when you no longer want to give access you can revoke priveledges. I can see this being necessary for business accounts. Lucky my businesses are one man shows nostr:nprofile1qqsxj4n587mmst622s38w4ks2s9f0sta3r9vax9eqj7jd985yy4vfwgppamhxue69uhkumewwd68ytnrwgqs6amnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dskar40c and nostr:nprofile1qqs0lk85lzyctz5n2mpnlfkeqpz5lhdu4ng3vyg3jjlz9zjsxt7guuqppamhxue69uhkumewwd68ytnrwgqs6amnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dsgy9rje... So I don't have an issue. Though only some apps let your toggle, like Amethyst...

Lol, this highly depends. I prefer dark chocolate, even as a kid and the awful Hershey Special Dark... There is something about bitterness that some people like, think about black coffee, dry red wine, cigars and pipe tobacco... But anything over 70% dark chocolate I don't care for. The same goes for the really dark reds like Syrah and darker I don't really care for either. I mostly like merlot and cabs sometimes a red blend as long as it's not sweet.

Merry Christmas!

Then the food is terrible. Lol

Any followers if Chad Jackson?

I have a song on Spotify called “Black Culture Epiphany.”

Overall, the reception has been fairly positive, but I’ve also received some revealing criticism. A few commenters( conservatives I presume) have argued that what I’m describing isn’t actually black culture, but rather “redneck culture.” They typically cite Thomas Sowell’s Black Rednecks and White Liberals as evidence.

I have a few thoughts on that.

First, when I read Sowell’s book years ago, my immediate reaction was, “Great, here’s another framework that will eventually be used, even by so-called ‘black conservatives,’ to deflect the need for personal and cultural responsibility by outsourcing black pathology to southern whites.”

Unfortunately, that prediction has largely proven correct. Any time discussions about personal responsibility or cultural reform arise in black conservative spaces, that book inevitably comes up; often not as a tool for understanding history, but as a rhetorical shield against accountability.

I think the book is informative and valuable in a narrow, historical sense (in the same way I hope that people would view my work on MLK and the civil rights movement). But it is frequently wielded in ways that are intellectually lazy and practically unhelpful.

Second, I find it peculiar how routinely southern whites are treated as society’s universal scapegoat. Northern elites historically painted them as the face of American racism; modern politicians from both parties go out of their way to distance themselves from anything resembling southern heritage; popular media caricatures them as uneducated, backward, and morally suspect. They exist in a strange cultural position where nearly everyone feels comfortable speaking about them (usually dismissively or contemptuously) yet it is socially unacceptable for them to speak for themselves or push back without ridicule. Meanwhile, the red carpet is rolled out for blacks who either promote the pathological edicts of the culture, or peddle the victim narrative.

Third, even if we grant, purely for the sake of argument, that certain behaviors associated with modern black culture have historical roots in so-called “redneck culture,” what difference does that actually make?

Cultures are defined not just by their origins, but by what they choose to preserve, amplify, and celebrate. Whatever the source, contemporary black popular culture has not merely inherited certain pathologies, it has often doubled down on them. This is a break from the genuine strides that were made by blacks in the early to mid 20th century which I have covered at length.

I’ve seen raunchy country music videos, but I’ve seen far more rap videos that are exponentially more explicit, nihilistic, and degrading. Kid Rock, a self-described redneck, has performed at political rallies largely with pro-America, patriotic material. Meanwhile, artists like GloRilla have performed overtly sexual songs on national political stages.

The BET Awards proudly brands itself as “The Culture’s Biggest Night,” yet routinely showcases material that glorifies promiscuity, substance abuse, violence, and self-destruction. And statistically speaking, predominantly black urban centers experience significantly higher rates of violent crime than low-income white southern towns. The list could go on.

To be clear, this is not an attempt to give anyone of any ethnicity a pass for degeneracy or cultural dysfunction. No group has a monopoly on virtue or vice. Nor is this an argument rooted in racial superiority, nostalgia, or selective outrage. Cultures across the board are struggling in different ways, especially in an era of moral relativism and institutional decay.

My point is simpler and harder to evade; the flourishing of individuals and communities begins with personal responsibility, not with endlessly tracing blame outward or backward.

I wrote “Black Culture Epiphany” to express that I have long rejected identification with the pathological, regressive behaviors that are routinely marketed and defended as “black culture.” And as a Christian, my ultimate identity is not racial, political, or cultural, it is in Christ alone.

That identity governs how I think, how I live, and how I move through the world. And I’m unwilling to subordinate that to any cultural narrative, no matter how loudly it is defended, or by whom.

Christmas is always a shit show. Work all day clean the house, cooking food, company comes eats food, stays too long, leaves then clean up and put food away. Stick a fork in me, I'm done.

Facebook is literally fucking with peoples minds, I was "permanently banned" for 3 weeks.

Why these people just can't start spending time on censorship-resistant socials? 🤷🏼‍♂️
