Smh, you strike me as another one of these little monkeys that spends their time obsessing over my commentary. Thank you for correcting my spelling of “egos”. Now let me help you with your spelling of “programing”. The spelling is “programming” lmao. Now we can laugh at each other. You see how petty we can both be, especially when you want my attention, and have nothing pertinent to say? If what I’m saying is gibberish, why don’t you do a google search on it and find out for yourself? I’ll play with you for a little while….
WHY IS MARIAH WEARING BLACK ALL THE TIME LATELY?
Excuse me JUDAH let me try and educated you.
As I stated before you don’t know syntax or spelling but I don’t mind teaching you.
Main Entry: To program
Variant(s): also programme
Function: transitive verb
Inflected Form(s): programmed or programed; program·ming or program·ing
So my syntax is 100% correct not incorrect but if you knew syntax or elementary spelling you would know that. Programing is ALSO correct.
You have this need to be correct but you don’t have the intellectual heft to achieve that goal. Spend more time of learning and being humble and you would have less of a desire to be “right” when you’re anything BUT.
LMAO
I suggest you keep to gibberish because when it comes to education and anything REAL you FAIL. LMAO
LMAO @ “EGOES”
Judah mess with the BULL you get the Horns son.
Go back to your gibberish about “Monarch Children”
LMAO Idiot.
Can someone give me a quick synopsis of the plot? Thanks, God bless.
If I see Mariah kiss Nick one more time………
Thank you for correcting my spelling of “egos”. Now let me help you with your spelling of “programing”
Blah..
Blah..
“Excuse me JUDAH let me try and EDUCATED you”
More hypocritical blah about being humble and perfect syntax..
LMAO… priceless.
This be your boy,Andre ! Mariah`s personal chef,,and I just want to get something off of my chest,Nick you need to start manning up,because you remember the other day when Mariah came in the kitchen when I was frying some wings up and Mariah kissed you on the forehead and said,” Now Nick, you be a good boy and take the trash out “. And you was all punklike and you said,” Yes,Mommy ‘. Nick,I hate to see grown men mothered and henpecked,so I`m going to slide you this book it`s called,How to Act like a Grown ass Man by Cedric tha Entertainer.
@ Zulu
Now let me “educated” you!
LMAO
I forgot you put my quotes on “educated” because I was being sardonic trying to simulate how Judah would speak with his broken English.
But Judah is a blow hard and he annoys me with his silly rants about entertainers, robots, astronauts and every other thing he finds conspiracies and subversive ideas encoded in.
He’s a RIOT!
Where is Mo’Nique? I never see her in any of the promotion (unless she’s been gearing up for her show)
@Zulu
Brother, whenever someone cannot deal with the conversation at hand, they attempt to lower the level of the conversation by using “strawman” tactics lmao. This is the main method that many black women use whenever they are uncomfortable because they’re two-dimensional thinkers, and most sisters are afraid to think out of the box. She was neither being sarcastic, nor sardonic when she used the term “educated”, nor when she said “Spend more time OF learning”, lmao. Notice, when you called her out, she changed her contention with me from “mispelling” to “broken English” lmao. She’s a fan who wants attention, like the rest. She had to run and do her research in an online dictionary to verify if she actually had used an erroneous spelling for “programming” before she came back with her nonsense, but that is the black woman in a nutshell lmao.
While the conversation hypothetically revolves around newer, better ways to grow tomatoes and potatoes, the “educated black woman” wants to argue about how to pronounce “to-may-toes” and “po-tay-toes”, lmao. That’s how they’ve been trained, and that’s all they have to hang their hat on. Notice that the creature has not attempted to see if what I’m saying is correct or incorrect because the point of her contention is not to have a constructive resolution. Again, it’s to cause confusion. That’s why I said that I would play with her for a little while, because that’s all she wanted was a little shoutout and discourse with me. The only thing that could make me have less respect for her is if she comes back and says that she’s a man lol. Brother, look up Monarch programming, Oz programming, jewel programming, etc. There’s an excellent series of videos on the subject on youtube by a user named “EsotericKitten”. Very well done.
@Furious Styles
I know that I annoy you lmao. I said that in my first response to you. You’re a fan; and like most of these silly black women on here, you’ll spend your time diligently reading my comments (spellbound), hoping to find something petty to contend with me about until one day you’ll crack and acknowledge that you admire me. That’s all the majority of you black women are about….confusion, confusion, and more confusion lmao. Once you see that your elementary contentions have no effect, you’ll fade away like the mosquito that you are. Stop blood-sucking you idiot lol. All your posts are filled with syntax and grammatical errors, lmao. Now tell me, what did you find out about “MK-ULTRA” Monarch programming?
Forget Mo’Nique, if she wants to commit career suicide so be it! She had a syndicated radio show on air until December of last year, but it was pulled due to she wanted more money. The studio should focus more on Gabby, Mariah and Paula for award nominations.
lol at JUDAH! I like JUDAH!
Why Couldn’t They name the Movie “Push”?? Thats the book the film is based on.. I don’t get it.. But I will be seeing it when it comes out… I think I hear Oscars on this one….
#73 I think I read that they couldn’t name the movie “Push” because there was already a movie named that.
But I’m a HUGE Mariah fan so I cannot wait to see this.
So what is the deal with Mo’nique not promoting PRECIOUS?? is it that she’s too busy getting her new talk show ready?? Cause no matter what.. when you got such great reviews and Oprah & Tyler funding your pay and the entire movie..and you hear about potential Oscar buzz??? uuuhhmmm that’s super unclassy. Being a professional means that even if or when a Movie sucks..you go promote it anways. That is class.. that is how the business works. That is how you get a decent name and people want to work with you again.. I really hope to see her face soon or else she will be losing a fan… signed disappointed!
On a more positive note.. Yeah for Mariah.. OMG she’s actually took her acting lessons to heart and did a great job! Everyone did a great job and I’m super proud of the entire cast. Especially since they cast a no name ( Gabrouney ) who has never had acting lessons and gives a superburb performance… WOW Everyone should be proud and the Mariah haters need to back off for a hot minute..LOL
I cannot wait till this comes out. looks really good!
@ DESTINY, you can have Judah..LOL
Now Judah, when it comes to who’s the smarter one it’s clearly not you.
You can’t even spell and you don’t know syntax because you made the claim that “programing” was not correct in the context of my statement and it was.
And you don’t know the plural form of “ego” yet you are an intellectual Judah??
I think not. And of course you would say that your lack of grammatical precision is not important or a “distraction” because you want people to think you’re smart. LMAO
You also seem to hate strong women and I understand why that is, complete feelings of inadequacy on your part. Projection. Most men are intimidated by women who are intelligent because it threatens an insecure male. Men think that they were born to dominate women when in fact women are the backbones of civilization. I don’t mind educating you Judah and I have an infinite amount of patience.
“MK-ULTRA” Monarch programming” has nothing to do with Nick Cannon or Mariah Carey sweetie but it’s very easy to apply theories to any situation which you seemed practiced at doing. However, that does not make any of your accretions accurate Judah. I’m sure you will now struggle with this concept because you are not exactly smart enough to move past your massive ego. Being delusional is also part of your routine.
From the trailer that I’ve seen The Lady that is playing precious she will get an Oscar because she did the dame thing. You felt her emotions and sorry but Mo ‘Nique” you are wrong for not going to help promote this movie and you are really ruining your chances at getting that Oscar too. Mariah we all get it you and Nick are happily married stop with the in the streets kisses. This movie has Oscars written all over it and very emotional good concepts. Also Mariah you did good also.
“Hell Naw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lenny Kravitz be looking alil suspect with that photo! I mean why the hell is he holding his daughters hand like that? I know they blood and all, but they looking like they be practicing incest or something. LOL
You know that aint a good look man. SMH
Black people need to fix up, they getting more and more like white people and it aint a good look man.’
*****************************************
WTF? A man can’t hold his daughters hand without incest accusations? I’m in my thirties and mine still holds my hand. Since when is being affectionate/caring towards your child “getting more and more like white people”? Maybe if more black women got the love from their fathers they wouldn’t be seeking it with some stupid thug who is only looking to get between their legs and has no desire to actually get between her ears. I think the “fix” needs to start at home.
BTW,good job Lenny
What is the big deal? Lenny is holding his daughters hand? Sounds like many of you didn’t get much love as children. This is normal.
@ Furious Styles
You still FAILED at proving that: “‘MK-ULTRA’ Monarch programming” has nothing to do with Nick Cannon or Mariah Carey.”
I’m going to need for you to come a little harder than arguments about “syntax.”
You can have all the syntax in the world, but you, my dear, seem to be void of semantics. Your argument has no support backing it. Don’t just be antithetical, for antithesis sakes; do your research and provide reason.
Thank you much.
love Mary’s shoes and earrings…
sup with Deniro’s wife? who she mad at?
Mo’nique is MIA at these events….
@THOUGHT
Lmao, what you said is exactly what I stated in my previous comment. Again, her goal IS NOT to come to a constructive resolution. It is to show that she is “educated”, and as an “educated black woman” her job is to put any and every black man in his place that does not subscribe to the hierarchy of America i.e. caucasian and female supremacy. That means initiate strawman arguments to lower the tenor of the conversation. Notice, in three responses, not even an attempt to disprove what I said because she cannot lmao. Whoa whoa, let me backtrack. I may have missed a comma lmao.
@FURIOUS STYLES
You like me don’t you, lmao. “You think you’re smart!”, lmao. “You hate strong women!!!”, lmao. Thank you for giving me such a good laugh. Is that what this is about (as if I didn’t know)? Are you a strong woman? So transparent. Do you want me to like you sis? Would that make you feel better? Well, I still don’t. Let me help you out. A woman is only strong when she knows her role and does it. If she doesn’t know her role, she is an agent of chaos just like a man or child that doesn’t know their role. There are no real societies that have women in authoritative positions. The most pro-woman entity in the history of the planet earth is the so-called white man, and he only pushes feminism as a facade to destroy the family structure and promote confusion. You couldn’t educate me on a damn thing other than what time I should be at the dinner table.
@Thought
Syntax is always important in establishing a coherent argument.
And if you are going to present yourself as a competent intellectual you should at least know how to spell basic words and understand syntax.
Now there is no “hidden knowledge” with Mariah or Nick Cannon sorry to break that to you “Thought”. I get so tired of these half baked loopy “Illuminati Control Conspiracies” that you attribute to celebrities as innocuous as Mariah Carey or Nick Cannon. As I said before you can apply theories to just about any situation that does not mean they apply. Nick and Mariah are not “satanic” by any stretch of the imagination and if you think so you have a major problem in perception. People like you and “Judah” obsess over celebrities and these subversive “messages” you think they send out. If they had the type of control you prescribe to them they would be ruling the world not just the pop charts. If you want to sit here and equate “Nazi Mind Control” techniques to entertainers you are the person with the problem and I don’t have to then “prove” you’re an idiot, you do that very well all on your own. I don’t know where you people come up with these “theories” on celebrity blogs of all places. Why not try making these arguments in Academia and see how far you get with it. People would laugh at you and then show you how flawed your thought process is. Maybe this type of banter works well on blogs or in jail cells but it does not work well in the REAL world. Wake up please. And spend more time on constructing meaningful arguments about more interesting subject matter.
I don’t know which is more dense–your arguments or your brain; I’m pretty sure it’s the latter. I can read an entire paragraph from you and still gather not even an ore of anything substantive. You managed to once again argue without an ounce of proof behind your argument; where is the objective data to “prove” that there is no New World Order forging; that every artist is really so “innocuous,” etc…. You have none. Instead, you had to resort to name calling, amongst other tomfoolery. And what’s more interesting than your world coming into a new order under the satanic hegemony of the Federal Reserve?…. Harry Potter?? Lol…I’m sure that’s more your speed.
Argument: “Artists”/puppets of the media have a satanic agenda.
One Proof: Go to Beyonce’s official website and what do you see?
An illustration of the baphomet juxtaposed within a pyramid, sitting upon her chest.
Can You Prove Me Wrong?
Of Course Not.
P.S. It was “Academia”/the university from which I graduated that taught me to analyze media the way that I do; not the blogs. And I was never laughed at; as a student, your taught to generate subsersive arguments AND provide proof for them; you have issues with the latter.
@ Judah
Your lack of power and control is really getting to you huh? I doubt seriously that any “woman” will be bringing you dinner unless it’s your mommy. In 2009 Women can do anything and the state of the African American community is such that women outnumber men in Colleges and Universities and they also uniformly earn more money then men, and women can become anything they want and still have a loving family. We no longer have to sacrifice one for the other we can have BOTH. My Parents are both educated, married and love each other. I know you hate women who are smarter than you Judah. I also know you hate your lack of success in life and I understand your short comings and failings but I still have hope for you. You know, I want to say you’re my equal Judah but I can’t say that because you just don’t measure up but then again you know that, which is why you’re so bitter against ALL women. I think I understand you now. You are one of those males who takes offense when women like Beyonce “sing” about kicking scrubs like you to the left. Rather than getting on your job like President Obama you rather complain about society and feminism. You hate women because you don’t have the “tools” to influence or make women do what YOU want so in turn you attack and seek to dominate them. I get it now. Well you keep ranting and raving and I’m sure some woman from Asia or Tehran would love to bring you dinner and listen to you.
But in America it’s “to the left, to the left” for scrubs like you. LMAO
@ Thought.
Talk to your parole officer about allowing you to leave the state and finding a new Psychologist who can prescribe you some more powerful medication because you are Looney Tunes. And yes Harry Potter is 100 times more interesting than you telling me about how Beyonce, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are part of some New World Order conspiracy….LMAO
Also, Thought you are 100% correct about “being critical of the media” and some of the things you raise are valid in that context. But if your idea of a competent argument is that “‘MK-ULTRA’ Monarch programming” applies to Mariah Carey because she likes Butterflies however is utter NONSENSE. You have not proven anything by suggesting that. Sorry, I don’t suffer fools like you or Judah.
Please pick this up with someone on your level like Judah. This conversation is over I have really wasted enough of my time on this silly topic of how pop singers like Mariah and Beyonce are trying to bring about a New World Order…LMAO
@Furious Styles
More of this “pro-woman” spiel, lmao. I thought you were going to “edumacate” me, lmao? “Thought” already called you out on your lack of substance, which is clear, which is also why I will continue to play with you. What’s funny is that all these random people are calling you out on your idiocy. I promise you that by the end of our discourse, you will have some of those demons cast off of you. Underneath those vain, petty diatribes, you’re just another overly emotional “edumacated” black woman hoping and praying that everything that this society tells you should satisfy you, will satisfy you. We both know that it won’t, which is why your so angry. You’ve been trained, like no good dog, to view the black man as your enemy and most of you sisters are too simple to grasp that it is to your detriment. Once the woman is put in a faux position of prominence and leadership, the elite can move in with their hard reforms because the women will fold when the chips are down and all hell breaks loose in America (which will happen VERY SOON). At the end of the day, all you have is your mouth. What will you do when the government nationally mandates the swine flu shot and the RFID chip? Hold up your diploma and say, “You can’t do this to me! I’m EDUMACATED!!” lmao?
As usual, we proceed to the “more black women in college” simplicity (because your two-dimensional pawns)….blah blah blah….”President Obama” drivel (another cardboard cutout pawn that has no say in how things are run)….blah blah blah…. Beyonce “to the left” (false sex abused MK-ULTRA pop idol ) blah blah blah lmao. So predictable and argumentatively pathetic. With every attempt at a refutation, you make my initial statements regarding you truer and truer. You’ll never see it though because you’re blinded by a PMS level of bitterness, lol & smh. Nothing pertinent to say on this topic, nor what I brought forth. Just another manifestation of black female penis envy. Close your eyes, pray, and then look down. Maybe you’ll have one.
“Parole officer”, lmao? Very revealing….
@ Furious Styles
“But if your idea of a competent argument is that “‘MK-ULTRA’ Monarch programming” applies to Mariah Carey because she likes Butterflies however is utter NONSENSE.”
That wasn’t “MY” argument; we can have an intellectual discourse when you learn to read and provide proof for your antithetical diatribe.
Objective Truth: Beyonce is featuring the baphomet on her website (and you have not effectively disproven that).
And I knew Harry Potter was your kind of literature!! LMAO.
Stay in Harry Potter Land Sister Girl, and don’t hurt yourself; Critical thinking isn’t for everyone.
It’s interesting that “Furious Styles” associates a certain mode of thinking with “parole officers”, thereby presumably assuming that “Thought” is a man lol. What needs to be understood is that a spiritual conversation is an offense to the ungodly. Now watch this fool come back and say that I missed a word, a letter, or a comma, lmao. All one has to do is a 2 minute search to see the existence of such a program and it’s history, but again, that is not the point of the refutation.
@ Judah
OK that was funny. You are not the enemy Judah you are just self absorbed and extremely arrogant. You are funny and annoying. But we are not at War because we don’t agree about the nonsense you typed about Mariah Carey it’s not that serious. And I totally agree that there has been a historical separation of Black men and women. A destruction of the Black Family which I do not buy into contributing to. I also know that the President does not have the power to make the types of changes that our community needs he is not allowed that power. Also OBVIOUS. I used him as an example of someone who has a relationship with his wife as an equal not a submissive as YOU would like. So I agree with those points. And FYI I’m not taking any “mandated” or voluntary Flu shots and women can do something about that with or without men present. I know what is going on there as well. I’m very aware of these things you are not telling me anything NEW but stating the obvious. You have a very good way of deflecting attention off the Issue which is your hate towards women and YOURSELF. I don’t express hate. So get your act together Judah. You don’t like to be challenged which is obvious because you have low self esteem so you throw all types of darts at others to hide that fact. PROJECTION. You are not as smart as you imagine yourself to be which was the entire point I was making.
@ Judah
Still fuming about being called out for poor spelling and syntax.
I hit a NERVE obviously. A woman corrected him and he can’t deal!
Faux-Intellectuals hate being EXPOSED.
Now he’s obsessed with “Jail References”…”revealing.”
Hit another nerve.
LMAO
“Thought” can speak for himself he does not need you to do that for him.
DELUSIONAL!!!!!!
LMAO
@ Judah
Lesson # 3
“which is why your so angry.” Judah
Judah, It’s spelled why you’re so angry
Not your
DAM!
You don’t even know the difference between “Your” and “You’re!”
LMAO
You have so much to LEARN!
@FURIOUS STYLES
I thought that you were not going to come back, lmao? Stray dogs always come back for a good bone. I should be a psychic or something. You have no idea how smart I consider myself to be, no idea lmao, nor is it your place to tell me. Your place is by the black man’s side black woman, not running interference for the white man in meaningless conversation that has no point. Please don’t waste your or my time telling me what you claim to know and what you “agree” with me on. If you have a brain, anything of merit is agreed upon by others with a brain. You’re smart enough not to disagree with me on concepts and facts because you’ll be further embarassed. I’ve already established that your issue is emotionally, not factually driven. It hasn’t taken long for you to expose yourself because at the end of the day; whether you like it or not, you’re just a woman, with the bio-chemistry of a woman lol. I know that you want me to heal you, and teach you, and I’m going to help you the best way I can. Like most “educated” black women, you stand behind the white man’s “psychology” (which is based in esotericism) to protect yourself from your true insecurity regarding your role as a woman.
You’ve alleged “projection”, lmao, when you’ve done nothing other than project your penis envy and hatred for womanhood. You must have issues with your mother. There can’t be two bulls in a pen. Has a man beat you? Are you frustrated at you inability to get a “good black man” or (gasp) has the white man not given you the attention you wanted from him lmao? Are you starting to realize that your options are shriveling up and your womb is wasting away due to your pride and misteaching? Has your father or brother been locked up? What’s the infatuation with incarceration lmao? Lol, you’ve done nothing but speculate, allege, and contrive strawman arguments with anyone that disagrees with you, in order to maintain your tantrum. Not one iota of substance yet. You cannot even make an actual point, much less a counter-argument. Your paper gets an “F-” lol. Does it hurt you to find out how this society is generated, or is the pain coming from the fact that a black man is telling it to you lol? “A nigga can’t tell me sh*t!”, lol. I knew from the jump that you were just another black woman that fears the stove, the oven, and order. Well, get back comfortable with them, because after America falls, that’s where you’re heading back to. I like my steak medium well lol. The white man cannot save you, because he won’t even be able to save himself. BTW, do you mean “DAM!” as in the “Hoover Dam” lmao?
@Furious Styles
How do you know Judah is even Black. Today there are more pressing issues in the African American community besides dealing with a boy who is racist. You are obviously more intelligent than he is. Why waste your time. He is on concreteloop while commenting on a Good Hair movie posting. Matter of fact…how do you even know he is a male….
I’m sad that “furious styles”, “judah”, and “thought” have stopped!!! =(
I personally don’t think that it was a waste of time. It was VERY entertaining =) some people watch tv……….. blogs are great! I’m pretty sure that something was said by one person that got the other person thinking, it was probably just hard to admit it. Time well spent!
@ Oooh Nasty – Chyna Layne is a beautiful woman, her frock may have not been the best cut or fabric BUT – those shoes are fierce! I’ve seen her before and she always seems on point to me. Everyone has a bad day…
@DESTINY
It’s all for entertainment, and I was in a playful mood so I went back and forth with her. All in good fun. She has female issues about herself and her role, male and relationship issues as well, and “projected” them onto myself lol. Deep issue that would’ve played out if she continued (or continues) to be stupid enough to try to “debate” with me. I use the term “debate” loosely; because as others have already pointed out, she has yet to make an actual point or counterpoint pertinent to the thread, other than to emote. Sad really, but at the end of the day, like I’ve said the information is there for people to look up and verify. If a fool wants to lower the tenor of the conversation to an emotional level because that is where they feel most comfortable, it’s at my discretion to play with them or ignore them.
I would marry destiny or thought if i could haha . I also liked the exchange even if what they said is true or not it’s very entertaining. I thought it was said that both Mariah and Nick were very spiritual people who read the bible how could they be pawns of the devil? I can kind of understand what furious style is saying because you can come up with all types of possible scenarious and make them seem as if they apply when in reality they aren’t true. I just don’t feel like their is enough concrete evidence to come to a clear conclusion. Ciircumstantial evidence is not always definitive evidence.
Oh and before people jump on me for my writting errors or whatever im going to put it out there that im still learing and trying and I don’t claim to be a genius hehe.
love robert de niro’s track record of black women….he is one man who will always be down with the swirl!lol
