| Topic | Which car brand do you like more, Viper or Corvette? |
| Taharqa_ 05/10/21 4:13:24 PM #42 | Viper The last iteration of the Viper was amazing, plus as much as I like Vettes everyone and their grandfather has one. The Viper is a bit more exclusive. --- "We tried to tell y'all." - African-American proverb |
| Topic | Is Elon Musk the richest African-American in the world? |
| Taharqa_ 05/09/21 11:42:49 PM #79 | African-American = descendants of American chattel slavery Our ancestors have been here for generations, we have our own distinct culture that was largely forged with various West African influences and the experience of our ancestors as they adapted here. Black Cubans are Afro-Latin but they generally refer to themselves as Afro-Cubano. Then you have the general Afro-Latin (Afro-insert Latin country), or Afro-Caribbean. They'll often say their country of origin first before saying African-American, continental Africans do the same and say they're Nigerian, Ghanian, etc. --- "We tried to tell y'all." - African-American proverb |
| Topic | DK Metcalf fails to advance to 100m finals |
| Taharqa_ 05/09/21 6:41:18 PM #7 | DarthAragorn posted... DK was shorter and lighter and only .02 seconds faster in the 40, plus had injury issues in college and had a really bad time for agility tests People joked about his agility and called him Tin Man. He's obviously proved the doubters wrong but the concerns were legitimate. --- "We tried to tell y'all." - African-American proverb |

| Topic | Do you like Ferrari more or Lamborghini? |
| Taharqa_ 05/06/21 8:17:16 PM #15 | modena posted... Sounds like they care. Or maybe a bit concerned about how it would line up against the other hyper cars. Porsche was like "Meh, we already know the car is going to perform and wreck shit, no need for the extra stuff" --- "We tried to tell y'all." - African-American proverb |
| Topic | Do you like Ferrari more or Lamborghini? |
| Taharqa_ 05/06/21 8:02:39 PM #5 | I'm a Porsche guy, supercar performance with everyday driveability. Their owners drive their cars, on the street, on the track. I like both Ferrari and Lamborghini, but Ferrari is too high on themselves seem to love the smell of their own farts. I remember watching a Top Gear episode where they were running the Porsche 918, La Ferrari, and McClaren P1 on the track. The Ferrari had a whole team checking and changing setups, changing tires, McClaren had someone to change the tires, Porsche just brought their car. --- "We tried to tell y'all." - African-American proverb |

| Taharqa_ 05/03/21 7:29:04 PM #16 | Solid Snake07 posted... Just operating off instinct. Probably not the best idea to keep large territorial birds in a small backyard.... Yeah that yard is too small for those kind of birds, they need a lot of space --- "We tried to tell y'all." - African-American proverb |
| Topic | How to survive a rhea attack (mean birb) |
| Taharqa_ 05/03/21 6:55:29 PM #10 | monkmith posted... ah, i see youtube sent you those videos too huh TC? They say rheas are actually pretty chill, Kevin is an asshole though and literally tries to attack that guy on sight. Emus are chill as well, now I would be wary of ostriches because of their size. An ostrich with the KOS attitude that Kevin has would probably kill a person, because ostriches kick. My Cane Corso (RIP) would have ended that bird the second she saw it attacking me, it would have looked like the TRex eating the gallimimus scene in Jurassic Park. That guy's dog doesn't do shit lol. --- "We tried to tell y'all." - African-American proverb |
| Topic | "We didnt to the Capitol to committ violence or intimidate" |
| Taharqa_ 05/02/21 7:29:27 PM #11 | Vicious_Dios posted... *Jerk off motion* Let that be a BLM protest, rubber bullets and tear gas would have been flying if that crowd got within 200 yards of the Capitol. Instead the MAGA crowd got to beat on cops and invited in. --- "We tried to tell y'all." - African-American proverb |
| Topic | Republicans played themselves |
| Taharqa_ 05/02/21 1:18:36 PM #12 | The notion that Trump's supporters are all nothing but slack jawed yokels without a pot to piss in is an outdated one. It costs money to travel to DC, rent hotels, fly in (some with private jets) or bring their 5th wheels, etc. These people are in government, law enforcement, business owners, military or ex-military, teachers, they come from all walks of life. --- "We tried to tell y'all." - African-American proverb |
| Topic | Leading voice in the Republican party... Let's not talk about slavery. |

| Taharqa_ 05/02/21 12:52:52 PM #20 | PoundGarden posted... Uh, "mixed breed" is 99% of the time media code for "pitbull with a splash of lab". Nah, any time the dog is a Pit Bull or remotely looks like a Pit Bull, then the media will place that in the headline. --- "We tried to tell y'all." - African-American proverb |
| Topic | Leading voice in the Republican party... Let's not talk about slavery. |
| Taharqa_ 05/02/21 12:20:30 PM #85 | Back on Mitch McConnell, if he had his way we wouldn't be talking about slavery at all.  --- "We tried to tell y'all." - African-American proverb |
| Topic | Leading voice in the Republican party... Let's not talk about slavery. |
| Taharqa_ 05/02/21 10:52:24 AM #34 | All of the history that we've been taught needs to have another look. A lot of what we've been taught is revisionist history, or history that has been outright omitted from the books or lessons. Many people were surprised to find out that their first introduction to the Tulsa Race Massacre was from The Watchmen, Tulsa was just one of many that occurred during that period. --- "We tried to tell y'all." - African-American proverb |
| Topic | Leading voice in the Republican party... Let's not talk about slavery. |
| Taharqa_ 05/02/21 10:08:27 AM #12 | Gamerguymass posted... You mean the project that actual historians have said is widely inaccurate and full of false assumptions? Well, yeah, that's exactly how America has operated. Slavery was the ultimate form of social control. Any progress by black people since the abolishment of slavery has been met with violence in the form of lynchings, burning down black businesses and homes, poll taxes, redlining, restrictive covenants, segregation, following up the first black President with a white nationalist buffoon. --- "We tried to tell y'all." - African-American proverb |
| Topic | Would you rather have a new mid engine c8 corvette or a c7 zo6? |
| Taharqa_ 05/02/21 10:05:13 AM #10 | C8, the mid-engine platform is more appealing to me. Only thing, they're missing the manual transmission. It would be on the level of the Porsche GT4 Cayman as a driver's car in the 60-120k range if it had a manual. Put a widebody kit, or wait until they come out with the ZO6 and you have a heck of a car.  --- "We tried to tell y'all." - African-American proverb |

| Topic | so, that Invincible *heavy spoilers for latest episode* scene |
| Taharqa_ 05/01/21 8:39:29 AM #24 | Ricemills posted... nah, i agree with him. American adult cartoons are needlessly gory. it's almost like they did it just for "this is an adult show, look at how gory it is!" statement. It's not for for the sake of being gory. Omni Man and Invincible are like that series' version of Kryptonians. Regular humans would get majorly fucked up if they got hit by either one of them. It's not a censored Saturday morning cartoon, this is what it would look like of humans got caught up in a brawl between Superman-like characters. --- "We tried to tell y'all." - African-American proverb |

| Topic | Law Markers in Idaho..Please kill almost all our wolves. |
| Taharqa_ 04/28/21 9:02:45 PM #25 | Ranchers should stop being cheap bastards and get a pack of livestock guardian breeds like the Kangal, Central Asian Shepard or Caucasian Ovcharka A pack of CAOs like these with a spiked collar and your predator problems are largely solved.  --- "We tried to tell y'all." - African-American proverb |

That sumbitch is gonna hurt at the site of injection though and be sore for a while. --- "We tried to tell y'all." - African-American proverb |
| Topic | Just got my 2nd pfizer vaccine shot |
| Taharqa_ 04/27/21 7:46:43 PM #7 | My arm was sore on both Pfizer shots but on the 2nd one it hit me immediately. I felt the pain radiating up my neck on the drive home, had chills the next day but nothing too bad. --- "We tried to tell y'all." - African-American proverb |
| Topic | Which Animal Is More Dangerous To Humans? A Black Bear Or Mountain Lion? |
| Taharqa_ 04/27/21 7:42:04 PM #16 | Black bears are rare but ones that do attack are going to try to kill you as predation. They may be more skittish than brown or polar bears but don't get caught slipping. Mountain lion attacks are also rare, and if you see a cat it's because the cat wants you to see it. We're not on their menu but I could easily see a young child or a toddler falling victim. There was a guy killed some months back south of Dallas. --- "We tried to tell y'all." - African-American proverb |
| Topic | Why do Americans get mad when you tell them the country was built on slavery |
| Taharqa_ 04/27/21 7:37:33 PM #46 | coh posted... Because it wasnt Some of the richest men in the country at the time were plantation owners that lived in the Mississippi Delta. Cotton was America's most exported commodity, they didn't call it 'King Cotton' for nothing. --- "We tried to tell y'all." - African-American proverb |

| Topic | Which Mortal Kombat movie was better? 1995 or 2021? |
| Taharqa_ 04/25/21 9:42:24 AM #30 | The 95 film is the classic "bad-good" movie. It was cheesy and PG, but I enjoyed it...as a kid. The 2021 film gets more points for me because I've always been a huge Sub-Zero fan, and he was badass in this one. Kinda wish he had his classic outfit on instead of the Shredder outfit. --- "We tried to tell y'all." - African-American proverb |

| Topic | There's apparently a really disturbing new police shooting video coming soon. |
| Taharqa_ 04/24/21 12:26:17 PM #22 | Solid Snake07 posted... There's a roughly estimated 50 million police interactions with citizens every year in this country. Even if a cop somewhere in the us murdered an innocent unarmed person every single day, that's a 1 in 137k chance that you're gonna be wrongly shot by the police. This goes much further than policing killings, it also encompasses police misconduct and brutality. This has been going on since time immemorial, the only thing that has changed is that it is now being recorded in 720 and 1080p. --- "We tried to tell y'all." - African-American proverb |

| Topic | There are cops working with white terrorist groups . |
| Taharqa_ 04/19/21 7:51:25 AM #17 | Monolith1676 posted... So far it is just a claim at this point. Just because someone says it does not make it true. If the KKK was in deep with the police force back in the day, it's not a stretch to think that these new white nationalist groups have members that are in law enforcement. The FBI has been warning us for years. --- "We tried to tell y'all." - African-American proverb |

| Taharqa_ 04/18/21 5:46:08 PM #1 | Very well acted and I didn't know Deborah Ayorinde had those kind of acting chops (she's fine as hell too), but damn even 12 Years a Slave wasn't this heavy handed. They tried to mix in supernatural elements like LoveCraft Country but it just fell flat. The racial terror that black people experienced integrating into those spaces back then were very real in how it was portrayed, but the show just never let up on the gas. That cat in the bag scene was fucked up (it wasn't a cat btw) --- "We tried to tell y'all." - African-American proverb |
| Topic | When talking police reform, how do you reform this? |
| Taharqa_ 04/18/21 12:09:17 PM #14 | SSJPurple posted... Longer training, harder to get in/pass. It takes about three to four months for Police Academy training in my area, then they get paired with an FTO when they get on duty. What if the FTO is a dirty cop though? It take over twice as long to be a licensed barber than it does to be a cop. --- "We tried to tell y'all." - African-American proverb |
| Topic | When talking police reform, how do you reform this? |
| Taharqa_ 04/18/21 11:31:04 AM #7 | Samurontai posted... Better question is, what is your solution, TC? End qualified immunity Use special prosecutors to investigate police misconduct Require identification and intervention for officers with repeated complaints and disciplinary incidents Decertification after a history of serious misconduct End pretextual stops and stop and frisk tactics National database on use of force and deadly incidents National database on officers that were fired for misconduct so they won't simply go over to the next county or state Require implicit bias training For starters --- "We tried to tell y'all." - African-American proverb |
