PROFD said the following [ https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/12809-usa-250th-birthday-celebration-great-american-state-fair/ ] MY CALENDRIAL REPLY My reply in the original post citation https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/12809-usa-250th-birthday-celebration-great-american-state-fair/#findComment-82221

In part 1 I assessed Mayor Mamdani's laws in the legislative bodies of New york city. https://aalbc.com/tc/events/event/363-zohran-mamdani-legislation/ As mayor he supported three members of the democratic socialist against members of the party of andrew jackson who are not. Darializa Avila Chevalier defeated Adriano Espaillat Brad Lander defeated Dan Goldman Claire Valdez defeated Antonio Reynoso When I look at Mamdani I see a continuation from Obama through Schrumpf. Obama who couldn't win an illinois seat focusing on the black vote, won by splitting the black and white vote and that led to support from very wealthy donors which undid Hillary Clinton's run. As president Obama was brilliant at speaking, commercials, advertising, appearance but was woeful as a legislator, a maker of laws. the laws he made were not only poor but dysfunctional. Obama inspired a bunch of people who are what I will call, aracial americans: OCasio Cortez + Orlhan and others do commercials for certain cultures but in truth are Statians, of the usa. They are more comfortable in the multiracial malaise of racially mixed zones of cities in modern USA than the racially aligned zones that afix most of the usa. Ocasio Cortez and others, prompted laws in congress but none of them were able to get the support of the majority in congress, Then Schrumpf did what Obama did in the party of andrew jackson and broke through the methodology in theparty of abraham lincoln. Where Obama , focused on splitting all the phenotypical votes and focusing on the aracial voters, usually younger. Schrumpft , ignored the hawks, calling for isolation, ignored the christian, admittedly calling for pussied to be grabbed, and focused on the poor end of the fiscals, by touting america first. Schrumpf like AOC before him and Obama before her, is a poor legislator. Now, more will join AOC in the congress, and from my standing the speeches will get more sharp, the polish of appearance will be great, but the legislation is more deadlocked than ever. So, I don't see any new laws coming from the congress of the usa unless, a coalition is made between the anti schrumpt + democratic socialists in the congress. But with lobbying I don't see how. the jewish lobby is the biggest loser and the democratic socialist + many schrumpt + ant schrumpf folk, seem very disinterested in supporting israel. As I said with Obama, and AOC, and Schrumpft , I said with MAmdani and his local crew. What are your laws and if your laws are impotent , which means don't get results, that will lead to a negative reaction among the common folk. And, then they participate less and less. The most important thing to note about the elections in the dinkey primaries was these were low turnout. It wasn't that a majority of people voted. It is that, a minority voted, but that minority vote was split. Which means, the voters are looking at these candidates carefully and any failure will be problematic.

That means 29.11 % of the people voted. In the donkey primary election that just passed, Chevalier had 32,790 votes while Adriano Espaillat had 30,464 which means as central harlem, a third of the 13th congressional district has 300,000 people, twenty percent of a third of the 13th congressional district voted. Does that mean, Chevalier represents the people of the 13th congressional district? Or does that mean the Democratic Socialist movement is all media hype and no true reaction from the masses? AFTER READING THE COMMENTS BELOW AND SEEING IN HINDSIGHT Most in this group saw the rise of Mamdani, especially as a democratic socialist. Though only I connected his style to that of Schrumpf + Obama. For I don't see any difference between either of them. All three are very good at media campaigning, the key to getting elected, but none are actually good at legislation. The problem Obama+AOC+SChrumpft+MAndani+Chevalier and all their peers have is ... I will not say. But, the elected official who doesn't do the one thing they all do, will open a true can of worms, completely inevitable or foresightful at this point. IN AMENDMENT 2 @LupeToddMedina your well spoke in @InsideCityHall i think the democratic socialist of america seem to have a similar agenda as the tea party or maga movement , to get rid of the long standing folk in government for new faces, regardless of the bureaucratic outcome. https://x.com/Thetenner10/status/2071745583769850294 COMMENTS TO DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM 2016 this was said by @Pioneer1 Bernie Sanders says some good things but too many of his supporters are pushing Socialism...or what many of his supports call "Democratic Socialism"....which will not work for Black America because too much socialism will make our people lazy. I've seen too many talented Black men and women who grew up thinking they could "slick" their way through life by hustling and pimping the system until they could somehow get a social security or disablity check for a few hundred dolllars....then they're satisified. But in a properly managed economy, if they were pushed to use just HALF of the good sense God gave them many of them would be millionaires by now. On the other hand we don't need unbridled Capitalism either because it will lead to the type of exploitation and despotism you see brewing in the United State today that locks so many poor AfroAmericans out of the economy and creates a "permanent underclass". SOME things that people depend on for their very livelihood like healthcare and education should be socialized. Other things should not. I'm not hating on Bernie. I think he'd probably be a better President from a domestic policy point of view than Hillary and I KNOW he'd be better than Trump. But we have to learn that what works for OTHERS will not necessarily work for us. What we need as AfroAmericans is a system uniquely designed BY us...FOR us; and if not implimented by a Black politician in an executive position such as President or Governor....atleast whoever does get in office while respect our agenda and integrate it into his/her Administration. citation https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/3678-this-or-that/#comment-16411 2022 thsi was said by @Stefan The Democrats are about to get their backsides waxed in this year's midterm elections. Several mistakes are to blame and most are unforced errors. 1) Too many Black people remain ignorant of what Critical Race Theory actually is. It's not Black History, although many well-meaning Black folks claim that it is. And sadly, they cling to this errant view on social media. But Critical Race Theory is NOT Black History, which is a collection of truths and facts. Theories are simply suppositions. I will maintain that CRT is taught only at the university level not in grade, intermediate or any high schools. The problem lies in that few have come up with a ONE SENTENCE description of exactly what Critical Race Theory is. Most who try to explain it employ 50-cent word verbiage which average readers in the U.S. have a hard time understanding since most read at a 7th and 8th grade level. Others dance around it claiming: "Oh, it's been around for 40 years and such and such.” Long-winded explanations do little to clear the air. So, I fashioned a one-sentence retort that can be shoved in the face of CRT detractors. Because the GOP and its supporters have been killing us on messaging while we've gleefully surrendered the intellectual landscape by choosing to scream dumb chit such as "Defund the Police!" Oh, yeah, what a winning slogan that was. Here is my one sentence description of CRT: Critical Race Theory is a premise that posits skin color and race determine the outcomes of most decisions, laws and behavior in the U.S. That's it! That is the one sentence description. And this one line should have been tossed back at those White racists who have been skewering us with attacks on the social term "woke." This is why we have lost the Messaging War. And CRT is going to be used by millions upon millions of racist and angry Whites, Latinos and some Blacks to clobber the Democrats at the polls in November. 2) Refusal to acknowledge Bernie Sanders' push for so-called Democratic Socialism has failed miserably. Far too many folks are still drunk on Bernie's Kool-Aid. I keep running into folks who swear the solution to everything is Socialism. As if this canard of economic belief has been successful in any modern society or nation. However, by listening to this aged clown Bernie, AOC and her merry band of knuckleheads threw in all their social wants and desires into the Build Back Better bill, completely guaranteeing that no one, except maybe Kim Jong-Un, would go for it. The bill had to be reworked a few times before the House took a vote. That's why it failed. BBB contained too too much, would cost too much and proved far too ambitious for most legislators and pundits. But you can't tell Bernie Bots anything. They truly believe they were sent from on high to rule. Yeah, okay. In addition to having a new Voting Rights Bill fail, Black people are now going to have to contend with even more Red states preparing their own voter suppression laws. Gotta hand it to all those dumb-azz 2016 third party voters. By denying Hillary Clinton their votes, they enabled Trump to squeak by in enough states to win him the White House. I doubted Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg would have survived the first term of whomever won in 2016. She didn't. And this gave Trump a chance to appoint three toadies to the Supreme Court. I believe more than 10% of Bernie Bots voted for Trump in 2016. Some news outlets peg it higher. Even if most return to the Dems this year, we're still going to lose in November. citation https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/8362-the-gop-blowout-is-coming/#comment-49238 from 2022 from @anonymous50 Is it possible for an individual, not politician (because most of them are well off anyway), to believe in Democratic Socialism when they are financially successful. Sure, when a person is financially struggling, Socialist programs are very appealing. For example. politicians like Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and AOC promise free college tuition and socialized healthcare that won't bankrupt an individual when they get sick. In some instances very progressive candidates promise to abolish student loan debt, which can be very devastating to someone who owes such debt. They also promise higher taxes on the rich to pay for these social programs. But, to the dusty* who remains in poverty this does not matter. They look upon the rich as having too much anyway. Part of it is class envy and the other part is realism. The so-call 99 percent who look at the extremely wealthy 1 percent class with their palatial manors, Rolls Royces, private jets, yachts, and access to some of the most beautiful women in the world know that all of these luxuries are beyond their reach in this lifetime. I know some would call this a poverty mindset. Most people don't have the drive, ambition, skills and patience to become rich. The paths to riches are limited anyway. Most start up businesses fail after a short period of time. You stand a greater chance of being struck by lighting twice than winning the lottery. Many get-rich-quick schemes advertised in the mail, online, or TV(infomercials) don't work. Only a small number of Pookies and Ray Rays from the hood who aspire to become rappers or baller are successful. People who go to Hollywood to find themselves seldom become the next big movie stars. So, the poor dusty who struggles from paycheck to paycheck to barely put food on the table looks at the astronomical wealth and toys the 1 percent has and thinks "why should they not be willing to have their wealth redistributed to help those who are less fortunate." But, when a person is able to lift themselves out of poverty and become wealthy, is he or she still willing to give up a certain percentage of income through taxation to fund the programs that person once relied upon when he or she was destitute? Some politicians would like to impose a 40 percent tax rate on the well-to-do. *To use online urban vernacular, a dusty is a man(usually a black man) who is low quality, poor, broke, and has no ambition citation https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/9335-an-affluent-democratic/ from 2025 from @ProfD This young man, Zohran Mamdani, is the breath of fresh air the Democratic party needs. Mamdani's positions on social and justice reform, city services, Israel and Jews, etc., may be considered radical. He makes it no secret that he's a diehard Democratic socialist. I believe his connections to a wide cross-section of people (FBA/ADOs, Muslim, Arab, African, Hispanic, Asian, etc.) and affiliation with the Hip-Hop community among others will propel him to becoming the most popular candidate on the ballot. Regardless of whether or not Zohran Mamdani is elected mayor of NYC, he actually has a plan for how he wants to run the city. Mamdani's plan could be a blueprint for the Democratic party to overtake the GOP. 😎 citation https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/11698-if-you-want-to-know-more-about-mamdani/#comment-74720 from 2025 from @Mel Hopkins If the NYC mayoral race were a novel, I'd deconstruct its architecture. From one election to the next, the narrative appears to shift away from focused policy debates, instead centering on the influence of religious groups. The major religious factions—Christian nationalists, Muslims, and Jews—each appear to compete for cultural and political dominance within the city. Amid this religious competition, the African diaspora in the U.S.—a powerful and often underestimated voting bloc—continues to be overlooked and taken for granted by both the candidates and the dominant religious groups. It sometimes seems as though these competing religious groups neglect the African diaspora’s influence. Ironically, the roots of these religions trace back to African science-based spirituality, yet this connection receives little attention in political or religious discourse. This dynamic played out in Election 2024: Christian nationalists—including evangelists, southern Baptists, and likely Catholics—rallied strongly behind DJT. Media and external influencers shifted the conversation away from local policy and toward polarizing international issues, like the U.S. stance on Israel and Palestine, further affecting how voters chose among domestic candidates. When reviewing 2025 election results, I noticed Mamdani was not the only Muslim elected, which raises the question of whether heightened coverage of Gaza led to greater sympathy and increased Muslim representation—a trend potentially extending into the midterms. Don’t misunderstand—I bear a grudge against all religions. Religious study should bring wisdom, spirituality, and growth, yet it often has the opposite effect. Religions lead to violence instead of joy and peace. Add patriarchy, and it’s chaos. Returning to the story's structure: Is this a narrative of democratic socialism rising in the heart of Wall Street? Consider Manhattan—the FINANCIAL CAPITAL OF THE WORLD—and its boroughs. Is the city that never sleeps really ready to move from capitalism to social ownership? Notably, NYC is the largest property owner according to Curbed.com, and the mayor administers these assets. Perhaps social ownership is the underlying story arc behind recent shifts. So, in this story—call it Project 2025 (S)—the central figure is a young millennial poised to challenge the reigning power and reclaim Manhattan for the people. Behind the scenes, religious struggle, human trafficking disguised as immigration reform, and pervasive surveillance set the chaotic stage for change in the city. Meet the Muslim and Arab Americans who won in US local elections Jews vote for Andrew Cuomo over Zohran Mamdani in NYC mayoral race | The Jerusalem Post "In addition to the Jewish vote, Mamdani lost the Catholic vote by a significant margin: 53% supported Cuomo and 14% backed Sliwa, against 33% for Mamdani. A decisive 75% of voters with no religious affiliation supported Mamdani." Here's a past look at Manhattan when DJT began buying up NY property in the early 70s(?) a look back at Palestinians, Israel, Libya, etc. https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/12023-nyc-mayral-thoughts-a-conclusion/#comment-77398 COMMENTARY https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/12801-dsa-2026/#findComment-82131 https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/12801-dsa-2026/#findComment-82131 @undefined I don't know where i conflated. I mentioned democratic socialism or democratic socialist , please quote me where I mentioned socialims alone or stated any elected fficial was advocating socialims. and for the record, I didn't say the following Critical Race Theory is a premise that posits skin color and race determine the outcomes of most decisions, laws and behavior in the U.S. that was @undefined whom i quoted as saying the prior. I have nothing I wish to say on that. and I am happy the affordable care act has worked out well for you. It hasn't for all, or most, and was never going to, based on its construction. @undefined Such a politician has not existed for a very long time since money has run national politics for several decades. I argue money has run the elected officials for the entire history of the usa, the founding fathers were the wealthiest or well connected white male slaveowners from each state. Money has always been the biggst influencer in the usa government. In my view, it will always be in the future. The key from a monetary perspective is when various financial actors are battling each other, which happens more often than people realize. Yes, the fiscally wealthy in human nhistory rarely like to add new members or desire new members added BUT, the fiscally wealthy in human history have always battled each other. Nice point, wasn't what I referred to as the thing not done, for the record, but good point, i only oppose your temporal limit on the power of the fiscally wealthy in the government of the usa. But, the elected official who doesn't do the one thing they all do, will open a true can of worms, completely inevitable or foresightful at this point. @undefined First, Barack Obama did not “fail to win an Illinois seat by focusing on the Black vote.” He was already an elected Illinois state senator when, in 2000, he unsuccessfully challenged longtime incumbent Congressman Bobby Rush in the Democratic primary for Illinois’s First Congressional District. Losing one primary to an entrenched incumbent is not proof that Obama lacked political or legislative ability. When did I say Obama lacked ability? I said, and i quote what you quoted from me won by splitting the black and white vote I said he won, how is that stating he is lacking ability. I said he failed and how he failed, which you admitted is true with the following. he unsuccessfully challenged longtime incumbent Congressman Bobby Rush in the Democratic primary for Illinois’s First Congressional District. So why are you asking me for evidence to something that you know is true. HE failed and the reason why is obvious. but he succeeded afterward, which is what I said. Now, I will ask you a question. Do you want me to imitate sucking obama penis with my prose? considering your response to this post, the only answer you can have is yes. And I Will reply, I Am not going to imitate sucking obama's dick with my prose. Reducing Obama’s campaign to speeches, commercials, wealthy donors, and appearances misses the central innovation: it built a decentralized civic movement in which millions of ordinary people became organizers, fundraisers, community leaders, and co-authors of the campaign’s meaning. (Obama's Lost Army) Again, you call it a reduction which suggests it is making him a lesser than. I am speaking truth, you can call it a reduction, but I didn't say he didn't succeed and in my original point, I said he formed coalitions splitting the votes of two groups. so I don't know why you suggest the following Successful candidates build coalitions. as if i don't know that when if others besides you read my words, maybe they will realize i stated he won by forming a coalition by spltiting votes. And in the history of the usa, the types of coalitions are not the same, that candidates build and sometimes, a successful candidate doesn't need to build a coalition. That is called campaigning. It is not evidence that he somehow “undid” Hillary Clinton’s rightful possession of the nomination. i didn't say him, I quote what I said and that led to support from very wealthy donors which undid Hillary Clinton's run. Notice for anyone who can read, what I wrote was, support from very wealthy donors undid hillary clinton, not obama. I must ask Mel , why you misread me so much? And not just you @undefined can't read my prose, you can't read , none of you people seem to be able to read my prose. Now clearly, I don't write well or at least convey well enough, and I accept that, but in the future, I need to embrace that the second my prose is misread, not to reply to a misread of my prose. Cause it is silly on my end. You have said the following I said Obama lacks talent. I said Obama undid Hillary Clinton I said , straightly or unstraightly, Obama's campaign was to be ridiculed or diminished. Before the quote from you. Now to the allegation that Obama was “woeful as a legislator” For me, all of that is lies. I didn't any of those things, but you clearly read them. Now to the laws. You are correct, it would be more robust or comprehensive to go through a list of laws + executive orders as president , Obama , from illinois state senate to president, initiated or supported or signed. And, it is important to distinguish laws that he didn't initiate but supported, like the affordable care act, which is Nancy PElosi's not hit. But, I admittedly, wasn't interested in spending the time to do that. And as such, anyone can dismiss my position for the absence of comprehensive. But I stand by it. Ledbetter is BArbara Mikulsky's not Obama's. Yes, he signed it, but that wasn't hit. And I already mentioned the affordable care act was nancy pelosi, not obama, which i have said in this forum many times. And I repeat myself, my uncomprehensive claim can be dismissed on its lacking comprehension. Many people love the evidence or proof of the statistical charts or the paper trail, and I didn't provide that nor was I going to. But I stand by my position. As for the affordable care act, a college friend of mine, a black woman with a child who was never going to get insurance until the affordable care act. was beyond exuberant, which I have said in this very forum, but the affordable care act is dysfunctional legislation. Dysfunctional legislation like functional legislation will always have those who benefit from it. All laws have beneficiaries, no matter what they are. From white jewish germans going to concentration camps which gave money to gas makers and concrete makers, to the affordable care act, which gave many financial institutions news veins of profit alongside expanding the insurance industry to those blockaded from it. and a fourth false claim from you, I quote you I also personally obtained healthcare benefits through the Affordable Care Act, as did millions of other Americans. You cannot erase the people who benefited from a law merely by declaring the entire law a failure. I am erasing the people who benefited from the affordable care act because I call it a dysfunctional law. IT is interesting, when you or troy or others make your posts. I never claim such grandiose. I may oppose what you say, but I never expand my opposition to such things. why do you all do that to me? answer that explicative... please I don't want to convey a gentleness, I hope I succeeded. And if Mayor Zohran Mamdani can be as consequential for New York City as President Obama was for the United States, then New York may be well positioned to preserve its standing as one of the world’s leading cities. Well. Obama is what led to Schrumptf so... based on Obama , I think NYC will be the largest most potent city in the usa, as it was before or after mamdani, gardless of mandani/adams/di blasio, the same way the usa is the most powerful militaristic force in humanity before or after obama, gardless of obama/biden/schrumfpt , but the quality of leadership post mamdani if obama is any historical indicator of value will be, a chaos agent. And I don't see how that will be positive for nyc. Luckily for NYC , the demographics of NYC is in some ways, wider than the usa while in other ways narrower than the usa. If you cannot identify the law, explain the defect and provide factual evidence of the result, please do not tag me merely to repeat a political impression. Ahhh, I wish you would had said this from the beginning. I didn't tag you to repeat a political impression. I tagged you and all others , though you may not have seen that, cause those are your words and i didn't want your words on the issue to be considered mine, which has happened in the past in this forum, and which i failed at because @undefined confused one of the peoples i tagged's words as mine anyway. Now the good news is that I usually don't quote others in my initial posts, but i did this time, simply because it was warranted. But I have learned next time I quote you i will mention your name without tagging you. I have to admit, I wanted to say something more negative or abrasive at the end, but forget it.

CONTENT INFO The Heroic Slave Frederick Douglass wrote only one work of fiction: this novella, loosely based on a true incident, about a slave who leads a rebellion on board a slave ship. Although it doesn't mention Stowe, it can be read as Douglass' attempt to contest Uncle Tom's Cabin. The novella's description of Madison Washington's appearance closely follows Stowe's first description of Tom. The story Douglass tells, though, allows him to reject her "simple" slave hero (Tom is probably the source for the pious "old slave" Madison encounters in Part II, and whose eloquent praying is a temptation he must resist), and to put in his place a well-spoken black man who fights and kills for his freedom. Douglass does not, however, dismiss Stowe's audience. He published the story twice in 1853 -- serially in his newspaper, and as his contribution to an Anti-Slavery anthology Stowe's publisher brought out (and that began with a poem by Stowe and the accompanying frontispiece at left). But he clearly designed the tale to reach the larger white reading public: one of the most interesting aspects of the novella is the strategic way it tries to lead genteel readers not only to active engagement in the abolitionist cause, but also to grant black slaves the same right to rebel against tyranny that America enshrines in its founders. The novella, however, does not seem to have had many contemporary readers, although it was reissued at least once, in pamphlet form in 1863.

CONTENT The following prime commentary was posted in the following URL Uniform Resource Locator https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/12771-are-things-better-today-than-40-or-50-years-ago/ Prime Commentary @Pioneer1 you asked the following Are Things Better Today Than 40 or 50 Years Ago? and then you added specificity to your question with the folllowing How many of you think the OVER ALL financial and social conditions in the United States....especially for AfroAmericans...are better today than they were in the 70s or 80s? Whether you say yes or no, please state your reasons My reply I have to beak up your question into parts. PArt one, is the financial condition in the united states for black people, whether descended of enslaved , willing immigrant, indigenous , or other is better forty or fifty years ago compared to today? Part two, is the social condition in the united states for black people, whether descended of enslaved , willing immigrant, indigenous , or other is better forty or fifty years ago compared to today? PArt 1 is a strict financial assessment. I argue the answer is no. But the why is fully supported. The first element that has to be answered with part 1 is , what is the financial condition of the black populace in the usa or the european colonies that preceded it? To answer the question just mentioned you have to ask, what was the first financial condition? The first financial condition matters for financial status isn't based on current scenarioes most of the time. The easiest example is white european wealth in the usa. JP Morgan is a bank in existence today, not because of the 1900s but because of 1492. why? jp morgans biggest accounts were from enslavers. Enslavers largess in profits didn't come from sales but came from the acquisition on land absent market rate or legal conditions, plus not having to pay an even wage and better, below market rate. Unionized labor is most expensive. But, competitive wage labor is second/like european serfs. But, enslaved labor saves money on serfs and non unionized labor. That largess in wealth allowed jp morgan to thrive and invest in other things. It all stemmed from clients whom never had to pay for land or pay any decent amount for workers. Financially, what is enslavement? Enslavement is a condition of complete financial absence. No revenue, no debt, no anything. So, from 1492 to 1776 in the european colonies, ninety nine percent of black people had complete financial absence. No inheritance could be given to the future, and they couldn't do any fiscal activity while alive. Now why did I say ninetey nine percent, James Forten, a real black man with a successful business in philadelp[hia before or after the colonies of england ceded from the english empire existed. one percent of black people actually were business owners , even while the law of the land was to not allow black people the status of human. Now from 1776 to 1865 enslavement of blacks to whites was legal at the federal level, thus enslavement had no financial change from the creation of the usa. So, from 1492 to 1865 99% of black people in the colonies that became the united states of america or the united states of america itself, had complete financial absence, no bank account, no money, no inheritance, no financial value earned or provided or shared or saved. No in 1865 the war between the states occured and the federal government says black people are citizens. But, two things occur simultaneously. First, the white populace in each state in the union, [mirrored by the growth of the original klu klux klan, which inspired the creation of the federal bureau of investigation] worked to destroy positive black financial activity. Second, the federal government chose to allow whites to terrorize black people , allowed whites to commit illegalities plus crimes against black people in each of the states. The end of reconstruction when the army left the south [which would be reintroduced in the 1960s ] is the general image of this time, in every state in the union, the white populace couldn't or didn't deny black people were citizens, but were allowed to terrorize black people using any method to stop positive financial activity. What is Jim Crow financially, Jim Crow is the maintenance of the financial condition of blacks enslaved to whites before the 13th amendment across the united states of america , by each white populace in each state in the union acting against black people, thus not legally enslaving blacks but creating a complete environment across the usa by having each state be the same way, all at the allowance of the federal government. And so Jim Crow has difference histories for each state in the union. In Mississippi or Louisiana or South Carolina or Georgia or similar , Whites had to first burn or hang black people through straight terror to force black populaces to be small enough for a white majority to control. Then after that the white populaces in each state used state law or governance to herd black people into prison for open end terms based on any crime they wanted to rebuild the state, maintain white land owners labor base by manipulating law until black laborers are indebted to white land owners forever, and delete financial profitability of black towns like rosewood florida or black regions of cities like greenville in tulsa by white terror , regardless of the black town or black regions financial profitability. Thus today, many and I argue the land to most black towns is owned by whites. Jim Crow ended in the 1970s, because of the civil rights act. Which I argue the federal government did to curtail the financial condition of all the states, who in 1965 were all dominated by white people and in particular white christian males. From 1965 to 1980, enough of the states financially changed to allow financial participation of blacks in them. Madam CJ Walker for Jim Crow proves like JAmes Forten for Enslavement that a one percent of black people existed as successful, revenue earning, business owners. New York, California, oddly enough even Texas, or similar allowed for Black financial participation for the ninety nine percent of black people in said states for the first time in 1980. But, Mississippi, Alabama, Vermont, Alaska, Nevada, and most others states in the usa in the gregorian year nineteen hundred and eighty had no financial allowance for ninety nine percent of black people in said states. So, from 1492 to 1980 , black people in the usa , circa ninety five percent, were denied financial ability, not merely opportunity but ability. It wasn't like 99% of blacks were financially able, 99% of blacks were financially disabled through white power. Now, you asked forty to fifty years ago. So, from 1980 to 2026 is the time you ask whether is better or worse financially. I argue no, because of the financial legacy of the black populace. Ten percent of the black populace in the usa today is financially better off but the problem is the negative financial legacy that Black DOSers carry. 1492 to 1980 isn't zero, it is negative. [White Revenue in 1492-1980 + absolute value (White Debt in 1492 to 1980)]* Time[1980 minus 1492]*[if White Revenue+ absolute Debt is greater than zero then return 1 if zero return -1] in paralell [Black Revenue in 1492-1980 + absolute value (Black Debt in 1492 to 1980)]* Time[1980 minus 1492]*[if Black Revenue+ absolute Debt is greater than zero then return 1 if zero return -1*(white value)] So a majority of Black people circa 90% have a highly negative financial legacy from their bloodlines past. That is not easily overcome. But to your question, nothing has changed financially, because the overwhelming majority of black people, from the many small impoverished black towns in the former confederate states, to the fiscally poor black segments of white cities in the north or west or midwest, I argue havent changed as they are as financially unable, less than opportune, as their enslaved forebears. No inheritance given to them from the past, no money earned in their life, no bank account, no inhertiance able to be provided to any in the future. That is financial absence. Now, to specifics, Black DOSers are the largest black populace in the usa. They reflect the mentioned financially reality. Black Willing immigrants are split between pre civil rights act 1965 and post civil rights act 1965. Marcus Garvey was an immigrant from the british territory of Jamaica, but he didn't present himself as a jamaican american, he presented himself as a black american. Why od I say this? Before the immigration act of 1968, Black willing immigrants to the usa, didn't see themselves as from country over black, they saw themselves as Black over from some country. The black willing immigrants pre immigration act, melded into the Black DOS populace as Black peoples. What is the point? financially, willing black immigrants before 1960s immigration act, didn't act isolated from the Black DOS populace. so in my view it is a financial fusion. Now, after the immigration act in he 1960s, black willing immigrant populaces are defined by the country they come from. Black jamaicans, black nigerians, black indians, and more. Why does this matter? First, willing black immigrants post 1960s immigration act are financially broken up between their countries of origin. So, the financial condition of the black populace in the usa, in modernity, has to be viewed as a set of groups each with their own financial situation. DOSers+ each of the country based black populaces have their own financial condition. Now anyone can ask, how to merge the financials of the black populaces in the usa... that will require the black populaces to make a concerted effort to do that. SOme in the 1960s worked on that , but again, white terror tooks it toll. as it did daily to 1492. My final point is, while the majority of black people in the usa, have the same financial condition as their enslaved forebears , as their jim crowed forebears did, the black one percent, from james forten through madame cj walker [who had her own brownstone designed and built by a black architect, as well as her home upstate new york state,, ] to the oprah winfrey's/byron allen's or others., the Black one percent has grown their wealth tremendously from 1980 to 2026. The black one percent is very wealthy and financially safe and has i argue the largest wealth gap, larger than fiscally rich whites to fiscally poor whites. So the ninety nine percent of the black completely enslaved populace from 1492 to 1865 became the black jim crowed ninetry five percent from 1865 to 1980 and turned into the historically fiscally impoverished ninety percent from 1980 to today. But the black one percent in the totally enslaved days from 1492 to 1865 became the wealthy five percent during jim crow from 1865 to 1980 which is not the ten percent black fiscal elite from 1980 to 2026. Your second question is the social condition in the united states for black people, whether descended of enslaved , willing immigrant, indigenous , or other is better forty or fifty years ago compared to today? First, socio means a common brotherhood , but is used to refer to an overall human condition. And my answer is , Yes. While financially the history of Black people in the usa or the european colonies that preceded it has three parts: Enslavement 1492 to 1865, Jim Crow 1865 to 1980, Multiracial USA 1980 to today. the birth of the usa mean nothing, the civil rights act means nothing, the world wars means nothing. many of the events that people of all phenotypes, deem relevant had no financial value to the majority of black people in the usa because of white terror. Socially, the human condition of Blacks in the usa has gotten better in regions . For example, in massachusetts, the black populace has an exponential curve over time with positive relations to whites. the confederate states is exponential but aat far less growth or intensity. Social improvmenet isn't about money but treatment. How is a black person treated in the united states of america, a white country? It has een exponential. IN CONCLUSION, financially, the overwhelming majority of blacks havent changed in the united states over all . Financially, an extreme minority of blacks over the past forty years have grown in wealth tremendously, and have created the biggest gap between the fiscal poor of their own populace. Said extreme minority hasn't grown in populace exponentially, but ther wealth has. Socially, gardless of financial condition, it has been a slow growth. In opposition to the financial terror white people placed on black people, the social patchwork of whites have made zones of decency for black people to live variably in the usa in parallel, not changing the financial condition but the social condition. Where from 1492 to 1980 the patchwork predominated. Mississippi isn't california, Louisiana isn't New York. from 1980 to today, as the usa has become a multiracial country financially with enough non white european christian male wealth in it, to have a fiscally wealthy populace that has representation across the human spectrum, the social condition has grown dramatically. And it is clear for all to see, the usa has competing populaces over the future identity of the usa. IT hasn't gotten violent or in aclear tribal multivide , yet but it is headed that way, unless something can preoccupy all groups to each groups benefit. But I don't see that or comprehend that on the near horizon. Post SCript When many people talk about the united states of america today, they forget that the usa was always multiracial in the population, but never multiracial in who ruled. white rules, christian rules, male rules,heterosexual rules, immigrant rules. And no matter what non whites like black folk, non christians like muslims , non males like woman, non heterosexuals like homosexuals , non immigrants like first peoples did, whether success of failure , they acted under white, christian, male, heteroseuxal, immigrant power. But, in the near fifty years since nineteen hundred and eighty, the multiracial growht among the fiscally wealthy has pushed the question of identity. A majoriy of fiscally poor whites who have a five hundred year heritage of winning over others, absent merit , using terror, want to do it one more time. to non christians, women, blacks, recent immigrants, the native american. The problem is, the culture the usa used to defeat the soviet union in the media front was more costly than many whites realized. The cold war has been done for circa thrity years but women aren't going back to the kitchen, blacks to the fields, immigrants to their countries, homosexuals to the shadows all for the white power community to have its place of domiannce as in the past.

I said the following initially 06212026 A Father's Day Solstice I love my father. And while I will not tell a personal story, for those are for me to know and enjoy [ though I admit I have written many things about my father or mother in my work]. When I think of my father and why my mother loves him so much, it is a line from the film, First Knight, when Guinevere was asked why she loved Arthur, her answer simulated what my mother said about my father. It is the way he wields power so gently. Thinking of my parents fathers, I can see why my father has his natural temperament, besides the temperament he was raised to have. When I think of my parents fathers I can see where I get my own natural temperament , and I am thankful for my father's specific guidance on the temperament of a male. Thinking of my parents parents fathers, I only know of half of them. The fiscal poverty of black people from the late eighteen hundred or early nineteen hundreds has a role to play in their exposure to modernity. But from what I can gather, the half of my parents parents fathers I don't know were Black men who worked all their lives , living with the financial legacy of enslavement to Non Blacks , in an environment controlled by non black people infatuated with making black life challenging. To the half of my parents parents fathers I know of, they each had a more financially fortunate stock, oddly based on non Black patronage , what I tend to call the Black one percent. And for those who may know, those whose spirits fly free are never gone for we have the gift of memory, where we can feel the past , in the present, whenever we want. I searched my public gallery for father's day and father work. I think an artist with years of work in their public gallery should be able to highlight any artwork for any occasion. I choose the following two works as most representing Father's for father's day. Tell me what you think. I have them below if you don't want to go anywhere. https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/art/Dawanga-1015908954 https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/art/Henda-jr-and-the-Highest-Striker-1116366320 the search returns https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/gallery?q=father%27s+day https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/gallery?q=father DAWANGA DAWANGA CONTENT HENDA JR AND THE HIGHEST STRIKER HENDA JR AND THE HIGHEST STRIKER CONTENT

NYC has always had millions of people from the 1900s to today. What does that mean, one percent of a million is ten thousand. One percent of seven million is seventy thousand. One percent of ten million is a hundred thousand. NYC has never had one percent of its population murdered. If the FBI reports are true, someone has been lying about NYC.. For me the point is, it seems , that in the year two thousand and twenty six, the blacks and non blacks who needed to create a myth about violence, are no longer relevant and the truth of nyc can come to the foreground in media. I wish in years past, when Harlem was black this could had happened, but I comprehend the agenda of the black + non black people who supported this view for thier agendas. the non black supporters were multivided into :those who simply dislike black people and like to speak ill of black people which is a long heritage among many non black peoples., immigrants who didnt want the crime or illegality of their immigration from being news and supported any ill speak to black dosers as they knew it would highlight in white owned media, the nypd or other law enforcement agencies who used the media perception to gain alot of government funding that strengthened the nypd to have a quantity of members beyond the city's need but within the nypd's need to be a fiscal + bureaucratic organization so powerful that now in two thousand and twenty six they are above the law or above being regulated efficiently, real estate industrialist who used the media perception to augment the evaluation of the real estate market which is solely based on speculation , which means what people see, not what people calculate. The black supporters are multivided into the following: a set of black people as a minority paired group to a non black group above [blacks who have a heritage of black hate as much as non blacks who have a similar heritage of hating blacks, black immigrants who wanted the same cover over their own illegality or criminality in their immigrant status like non black immigrants, black law enforcers who joined non black law enforcers in using the media perception to grow the position or stature of the law enforcement populace they are apart of, black real estate owners who have wanted to use the media position for the same real estate games their non black counterparts do ] , the black church who has never forgiven the larger black populace for leaving the black church after the black church failed to get results in the mid nineteen hundreds [the black church made a great error, they positioned the black populace using their role/status to have a peaceful relationship with the nonblack but the black church miscomprehended that the majority of black people in the usa never accepted or desired the incremental non violent plan that the church put forward and tied with white violence over time, as jamesbaldwin alluded to, black people started to ask, when is this going to be over in the usa, when will freedom occur and the black church has only been able to answer with faith which isn't an answer ], the black one percent, the top of black business [ many of black business leaders /leadership populace from early 1900s believed that black business could figure out how to do anyhing, but they miscalculated that the majority of black people in the late eighteen hundreds never believed in the usa or its fiscal capitalism mythos, they were simply too fiscally poor to leave or had no where to go to, Black immigrants come to the usa to make money, Black DOSers want to leave the usa for freedom, these are not the same ] statistic from nyc, and i know these numbers are not including the people uncounted for in NYC https://www.nyc.gov/assets/planning/download/pdf/data-maps/nyc-population/historical-population/nyc_total_pop_1900-2010.pdf this is from the FBI and covers all of New york state [they say in 1989 only 2000 people were murdered in all of new york state] https://www.disastercenter.com/crime/nycrime.htm FROM URL BELOW NYC Hits Record Lows in Murders and Shootings Through May 2026 Last updated 19 minutes ago Official NYPD data from January to May shows 102 murders, down 20.9% from last year and the lowest since tracking began decades ago. Shooting incidents fell 5.7% to 247, with victims down 7.1% to 289; major crimes dropped 6.2% citywide. Mamdani, the city's first Muslim and South Asian mayor sworn in January, credits community programs and public safety investments, while NYPD highlights gun seizures and focused patrols. Supporters praise the leadership, but skeptics question underreporting, even as experts confirm NYC's homicide rate is now the lowest in over 100 years.

A way to cover the rest of the year, the remaining 337 days between each 28. Juneteenth represents the first major event for Black people in the USA. The reason it isn't independence day or the colonies or states is because during all those times Black people were enslaved to Whites. Whites enslaved Blacks in the lands that became the USA and during the USA itself, as a law of the land, from 1492 to 1865. So for Black people in the U.S.A. the birth of the USA didn't change the condition of Black people. Most of the Black people who fought for the independence of the colonies from the english empire were enslaved to whites in the usa after said independence. But, the end of the War Between The States, commonly called The Civil War , did represent a true change for Black people as legal enslavement, which was legal in the english colonies or the usa itself, became illegal for the first time. Lift Every Voice And Sing's lyrics was written by James Weldon Johnson while the musical accompaniment was made by his brother J. Rosamond Johnson in 1905. Lift every voice and sing, 'Til earth and heaven ring, Ring with the harmonies of Liberty; Let our rejoicing rise High as the list'ning skies, Let it resound loud as the rolling sea. Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us, Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us; Facing the rising sun of our new day begun, Let us march on 'til victory is won. Stony the road we trod, Bitter the chastening rod, Felt in the days when hope unborn had died; Yet with a steady beat, Have not our weary feet Come to the place for which our fathers sighed? We have come, over a way that with tears has been watered, We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered, Out from the gloomy past, 'Til now we stand at last Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast. God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, Thou who has brought us thus far on the way; Thou who has by Thy might Led us into the light, Keep us forever in the path, we pray. Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee, Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee; Shadowed beneath Thy hand, May we forever stand, True to our God, True to our native land GALLERY L Literature Lift Every Voice and Sing T-Shirt: Celebrating BlaCelebrate Black history, heritage, and pride with L Literature Lift Every Voice and Sing T-Shirt: Celebrating BlaCelebrate Black history and culture with J Literature James Weldon Johnson Negro National Anthem Lift every voice and T Literature The Freeman's Complaint ~The Freeman's Complaint , a late response to the Slave's complaint Forever! was wrote by my forebear long ago a dreamy exaltation, to know to reach where our ancestors sew before unwanted immigrant woe However!

But I wanted to make my own personification of Juneteenth. SYMBOLISM The light in the night sky is not from a star but the planet Venus, the brightest night light in the sky, guiding the way, a symbol of Nature's protection or guidance. Juneteenth has a smiling face, happy to help her people and see them grow. Silver hair representing her elder nature. Slavery isn't bound to one moment in time, it is a timeless aspect of life. Sequentially, Juneteenth, representing the end of enslavement of Blacks to Whites isn't about one particular time. A yellow shirt representing the brightness of the soul of being free. The hands reflect the connection to the Sun, that touch all life. The bowl represents an eternal bucket full of hope, hope being invisible. Gold as the color of timeless. The symbol on it is a family: man, woman, child, fetus. Her sash is of two hands handshaking, representing Black unity Her dress represents the sea of journeys, where Black people, through all their names have found themselves oppressed, or enslaved, which supports Juneteenth with strength. Black in anglophone, Kalo in Indian subcontinent, Noir in francophone, Sakai in Southeast Asia, Preto in lusophone[Portuguese speaking] , negro in hispanosphere, abo in australia[ a slur for aborigines of australia], zwalt for dutch speaking world, abeed for Islamic speaking world. Her right hand is holding all the forebears, leading away from the bloody lands of the oppressors. The eternity symbol on the left foot of the oppressed represents the inclusion of all. The blood from the right foot of the oppressed represents all their blood which covers all the lands of oppression. The mountains in the background represent the oppressive lands of the non blacks: the Christian symbol representing all Christian countries, the White Skull representing white plus non Black lands in any continent where Blacks are oppressed, the Phrygian cap represents all European countries, the Crescent Moon represents all muslim countries.

I concur. Art is not and will never be dead. Art started from the earliest humans, when we walked everywhere to gather food, even before hunting and gathering, we did art just gathering and moving. No permanent caves. For me, it is the variance between creativity side commercialism. The creative world, creative aspect of art, is never lessened or weakened no matter the tools, as you say in more elegant prose. But, the financials, the commercial aspect of art do change. The commercial isn't about art, but what people value enough to provide goods /services/money for. What people value changes. And every time human taste changes, artists making commerce lose commerce. This sin't the death of art, but the death of commercial viability of some artist. This doesn't mean the death of art. As Yoyo Ma once said correctly, people in the usa play less music because of the advent of recorded music. before recorded music, the only way to hear music is to have it played. whether someone plays so well the spirits stop or someone plays so poorly everyone alive wants them to stop, absent recorded music, someone has to play. I amend his point in that, whether deemed good r bad, more musicians meant more people kept learning how to play and spreading how to play and that increased the overall musical community. and so when recorded music came in, people stopped hiring piano players violinist and others for the grandparents of the jukebox, but what also happened was less people played instruments. So, to illustrators, writers [whom illustrators rarely talk about] videographers or filmmakers, the large language model computer programs are cutting jobs or commission , yes, many clients or potential clients will not pay for your art when they can get a substitute with the computer programs commonly called AI. But this doesn't mean none will. people have always paid for musicans like they will always pay for writers or illustrators. Yes, the number of paying jobs overall will reduce but that is ok. many people play music without getting paid and many people write or illustrate without getting paid. That is the truth of commercialism. But creativity is forever. @Sysirauta have you made a video of the holofoil? have you done other cards of the tarot? why did you chose that bird ? it seems like a goose or geese or swan? beautful work @MalenaValcarcel beautiful , how long did it take to make? @royalCorgi congrats in the commission. lovely graphite, did you make a frame? @inktorrents did the lake at yosemite have the color or did iyou choose it? i really like the golden, like a sunrise horizon @CinnamonDevil great title, when i saw the image i thought, wow, he is taking from her, and the context with the musics intent, lovely, and congrats on the commission @KaylaNBrown i love zebras. do you ever make your work as postal stamps or stickers? nice color choices @DariiaZhyrova I thought it was potpourri but it is fabric, nice did you use a reference? @RohelineBear the golden sleeping rainbow.

From 1972 and 1973 , The one thing I will say about the knicks win is it showed the future of part of the united states of america. I witnessed in a city of over ten million people, more multiracial than any other city in the usa, fans of all : phenotypes[ complete grey haired with children who would be at school ] genders[ female or male] , religions [ women with hijabs on men with kippah or turbin ] wealthy level [those who are in bars with very expensive drinks to those walking in the street with a cheap beer] geographic distinctions [ asian descent, african descent, european descent ] A city where violence is not common while people keep their distance. All of the usa is not NYC. and will not be. Texas, mississippi, florida, louisiana, and all their fellow confederates will never be nyc. But, in the places like NYC in the USA a new identity is brewing.. And it is interesting how the NYPD has been fractious to these crowds. I think the law infatuated people need to figure out where they want to live. The goal of zero crime or zero illegality is impossible to achieve, but bringing down happiness with your crime complaint is very negative and i rather people infatuated with complgining about crime in a city over ten million people with only a thousand homicides, which means a hundredth of a percent of the populace in nyc. So, if you are black and feel crime is too much where you live, please leave. That is the best answer, let wherever city you live in be free of you. Don't worry , people will remember they are poor and unhappy soon enough, you don't need to bring hat sad reality into their joy. Congratulations to the NEw York Knicks. NY is the mecca of basketball, and because the Black populace of NYC made the modern game of basketball. I think the Brooklyn Nets need to change their local, Buffalo or Albany. IN AMENDMENT This post explains the true problem. The usa was never a we. Not before 1776 as white european colonies of war, killing indigenous people, notafter 1776 or before 1865 when black peoples enslavement to whites from 1492 didn't change, nor now with generations of waves of immigrants allowed in by the fisclal white rich and disallowed by said rich time and again, to weaken countries by allowing their populaces the chance to not risk war or violence and simply change settings with the caveat that wherever they came from will not be better with their immigration. Dear NY, please don’t act like ghetto-ass thugs if the Knicks win tonight. I know most of you are unhinged liberals but maybe tonight act like you have morals and know how to act human. https://x.com/MAGAMichelleS69/status/2065947922705850581

A way to cover the rest of the year, the remaining 337 days between each 28. For this edition of Black337 we will speak of Black detectives. Remember to view my literature of a Black Detective, linked below in MONTHLY CONTENT. Do you have a Black Detective you enjoy?

VERY SHORT LIST OF BLACK DETECTIVES WRITTEN BY BLACK WRITERS IN LITERARY FICTION Easy Rawlins – Walter Mosley [ https://www.waltermosley.com/ ] Louise Lloyd – Nekesa Afia [ https://www.nekesaafia.com/ ] Tamara Hayle – Valerie Wilson Wesley [ https://valeriewilsonwesley.com/ ] Grave Digger Jones and Coffin Ed Johnson Chester Himes [ https://aalbc.com/authors/Chester-Himes ] Shaft [ played by Richard Roundtree in "Shaft" ] was written by Ernest Tidyman Parker based on the McClain character [ played by Jim Brown in "The Split" ] was written by Donald Westlake Alex Cross [portrayed by Morgan Freeman in "ALong Came A Spider"] is written by James Patterson The interesting thing about Black Detectives written by Blacks as opposed to Black Detectives written by whites is their tone. Black Detectives written by Blacks tend to have a larger level of pessimism to the environment, I think that reflects Black Authors , as Black people, larger pessimism or disbelief or negative views to the USA itself; as opposed to Whites in the USA who are historically more hopeful opportune advantaged in the USA.

The doors forced the Heroes to disperse and Diana, the Acrobat, was eaten into a desert land. This was three days ago. Now after wandering in the desert, seemingly alone, she comes face to face with a sparkling horse, absent a shadow. She approached it and the horse spoke. It called itself, Majikili . It said it had been eaten by a door many years ago and brought to this desert. It continued to explain. Said it traveled many miles for a very long time. Diana pondered how to escape when a horse had gone farther already and found no exit. She pondered and pondered and realized maybe the exit wasn't a location but a state of being. So, she talked with the Majikili , and it told her where it came from, treasures and lands she never knew existed. But Diana never asked to ride Majikili and MAjikili never offered. But when a sandstorm was approaching them from a clear distance. MAjikili offered to allow Diana to ride him and when he did, a path led away from the sandstorm to a hall inside the Maze of Doors. And Diana plus Majikili were overjoyed. Now back in the maze, with Majikili's speed and Diana's staff they fended off the few doors they met or evaded large groups of doors, till Diana reached the other Heroes, each who had gained a friend from a world through a door.

D: Will you need anything else, per the warrant? LE: No, and I promise to care... I am Opus Dei. The deacon exit and the law enforcer look about, take off their jacket, and peruse the diaries in the study. They take one out , sit down, search for a page, and read. February 14th 2025 Elaine Estrella confessed today, and it is all I can think about. A sudden relapse into her defensive delusions. I was saddened at the occurrence but was more afraid by her fearful voice. This alien wasn't some coercer into a bed chamber as in years past. She confessed to witnessing the hacking of bodies by this alien, of what I interpreted as diffuse light. And to see on the news this evening the finding of a body as Elaine described. God, I can't break the seal of confession and yet. What if Elaine is involved? I must speak to her as soon as possible. The law enforcer scrolls or turns pages accordingly. February 21st 2025 Another day, the seventh in a row, where all I can think about is the confession from Elaine Estrella. The police still haven't found any clues. Elaine hasn't come back to confess at her usual time. Her ex husband was found like the others. I hope she isn't dead. I hope the killer is found. I hope god can protect us all. https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/art/Where-is-Elaine-Now-1208602076 CHAPTER 2 The law enforcer turns the pages of the diary to a page unfinished. March 3rd 2025 Ever since I received that vision of light in Elaine's home I haven't been able to stay focused throughout one day. I never discern an image when I have the episodes of epiphany. But I can feel a spirit, an energy, that I can only deem is cosmic based on how I feel when I regain my normal sensorium. I have asked to see Sister Josephine in the con The law enforcer puts the diary down and grabs an envelope from his jacket. It has the escutcheon of a cardinal, as a broken wax seal. The law enforcer opens the envelope, and takes out the letter. Dear Detective Silo, I joined Saint Lucy's to gain better insight into my visions through study and meditations. While also protect my sight from the meddling and forces outside the quiet peace of the nunnery. Thinking of Elaine I see a kindred spirit who was unable to find peace with divine influence. But from what you said about her, she may have seen or been seen by something dangerous or deadly. I end this letter with a location, from where you can find the information you seek , which may lead you to Elaine or at least to a better comprehension of what she is experiencing. 1023 Castle Road at Thirteenth and East street God be with you, Sister Magda Post Script Please Be Careful MY POST https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/art/Where-Is-Elaine-Now-part-2-1339330593 W Literature Where Is Elaine Now ? part 2The law enforcer turns the pages of the diary to a PRIOR WHERE ARE THEY NOW's - the challenges are over, but the fun isn't.

URL https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/art/A-TRUTH-IN-THE-SEA-1339272554 CONTENT TITLE: A TRUTH IN THE SEA SUBTITLE: A Marcus Preacher tale AUTHOR: Richard Murray @HDdeviant STORY: Summer is the time of ice cream, roller skating, or fun at the beach. Everyone is looking to avoid baking in the heat, seeing disturbing illusions, succumbing to the frying frustrations. Thus, a child dead at the beach is an uninvited thing, but not unnatural. Adults can get killed by tide, and children since ancient times have always gone where they were told they shouldn't. So, I didn't drive to the hospital expecting a lead like at a cookout. I honestly wanted a reason to get the wind across my face for an extended time in a dry, smelting day. But what I got was a recipe for deadly delusion. Fanning myself, I entered the hospital and per a friend, who kindly informed me that Freddie Salazar saw the body already, saw the body. Her name was Fatima Branch, fourteen years old, champion swimmer at Harriet Tubman middle school. Now still in the eternal waters of death. My friend told me what they only told law enforcement, the young Branch didn't drown by being forced under. She had no marks across her body, she had no liquid elements to induce, or signs of inhalations to promote. By all accounts Fatima Branch kept herself under water. But why? I acquired the name of the parents to the deceased and the school young Fatima attended and after a phone book search called some potentials. Finally, I reached Veona Branch who was quick to hang up but informed me she had already talked to the police. Wanting to cool off more, I drove to the old slaughterhouse district, now a residence for municipal workers to churn out their lives with their families. P.S. 352 is like any urban school, whose neighborhood changed, it once had a choir, a mock trial team, a set of statewide science fair winners. But the trophies for modernity are bare, except for the swim team, and I could see the legend that was Fatima Branch. The security guard informed me that Harry Wecum is teaching some kids how to swim in the school pool. I traversed the halls of book reports, grading lists, photographs of children playing to reach coach Wecum. He was helping a child with their form when I approached. He told me Fatima was a good student, without turning. The harassment in the heat made him sensitive to questioners. I asked him more about her. Did she have any bullies? Was she a loner? How was her home life? Did she have any secrets you learned as a coach? he said no to all with the inner melancholy of a tell all book. I offered to see him again and he said to be at Jim's Pizza Parlor in an hour. I took that hour to knock on the Branch's. A male voice replied to go away. I pleaded I didn't think Fatima was crazy or bad and wanted to tell the positives in her life. The door opened and Mr. Branch spoke sharply, his posturing a clear message I wasn't getting in. "She loved to swim, she was loved, a prodigy, that will be on her gravestone" And Mr. Branch closed the door while I protested and pleaded. And off I went to wait at Jim's. I asked the pizzaman if he knew Fatima. He said she never came in. The pizza smelled good but the heat in the parlor was effervescent. Finally, coach Wecum came in. The coach ordered a slice. I asked him, did he and Fatima go here often? He said yes. And then I asked him, is there something he can tell me about Fatima that can shed light on her murder? He said she wasn't bullied, had a good set of friends, whom he named, from what he could tell her parents were very proud of her swimming ability. She did seem worried in the weeks before her death, but he didn't know why. I asked him about a pendant her father wore, seemed like a golden mermaid to me. He said he wasn't sure. He asked Fatima about it. She wore one as well, and she said it is an ancient water spirit, Tlanchana. The coach wasn't anymore help but I had something. I was happy to drive to the museum and caught Doctor Williams on her way home. I asked her if she knew of Tlanchana. She said it sounds Mesoamerican. But she would call me tonight. So I headed on home. A kid, great in the water, who believed in a water spirit, kept herself in the water to her death. Was it infatuation, love, or some sort of fear? Around nine p.m. the Doctor called. She told me Tlanchana is the name for a water goddess of the Purepecha people, great metalworkers, before the white Europeans came. She said her bottom half is serpent not fish and she is usually benevolent. She said Dr. John Thompson name came up continually on research, and also told me to be careful. She knows how I like to burn my nose. And I thanked her in a mature way, and went to bed... great child swimmer, Tlanchana, a watery rest, why? After a cold shower, the next morning, I quickly found and headed to the clinic of psychiatrist Doctor John Thompson. I repeatedly pondered why a psychiatrist was interested in a Mesoamerican mermaid. I didn't know the truth but the statue outside his practice, on the freshly cut lawn, is like the necklace worn by Mr. Branch. While large enough for me to notice Tlanchana's serpentine figure. I went inside and as I was asked to wait by the receptionist the pamphlets plus posters reveal the connection. Dr. Thompson's practice focuses on healing people from a fear of water, aquaphobia. But I am stuck. If the deceased Branch was afraid of water, why let herself die in it? If Thompson was who frightened her to stay in the water, what could he had gained? Thompson was very somber and assertive. But I immediately noticed his gold necklace. And asked did he know Fatima Branch. He told me he did and her parents. His tears seemed true. After a moment, he continued and explained that he is a psychologist for the healing of natophobia, the fear of swimming. Branch's parents and his other clients have an uncommon trait of natophobia, in their bloodline. I saw a shrine of candles through a window and asked what was it for. He said it is for the children of clients, now including Fatima. He added thousands die from drowning every year, it is rare but not unheard of. He admitted some of his clients have lost faith in his methods after Fatima's death. I asked him, did Fatima show signs of fear in the weeks before she died. He said no but I could tell he pondered himself. I didn't think he thought Fatima was murdered in the water either. I asked him about his methods and he said that was private to the clients. On the drive back to the newsroom, I tried to find a seam, to answer why Fatima let herself die in the water she loved so well. Psychiatrists, ancient deities, coaches, a unique community, maybe the psychiatrist tried an experiment gone wrong, maybe a secret from the coach is the key, or a relation, a teammate, or a member of the natophobes succeeded in some scheme for some reason. I needed more. In the office it was quiet for me. Ethel and Clay was working on another successful romantic column. A couple long dead in the city had left messages in jewelry about a tree that saved their community from eminent domain and real estate sharks. Santos was getting juicy insight on a telenovela. She learned that Divine Johnson is making a comeback in "My House Mi Casa" as Pearl Santiago, the Queen mother of the Christophe clan feigned her death in episode two hundred and eight and is coming back with a completed plan to return to her chair. While I, investigative reporter of the Renaissance News, sit unactive around the bustle. Malcolm didn't even find the time to chastise me with so much going for everybody else. And Mallory called, which proved how little he knew, hoping to get back into the game through me. And then the phone rang. Coach Wecum told me to come to a road aside a garage near while safely about the psychiatrist, at three a.m. I asked him why and he said he wanted proof he wasn't the cause of Fatima's death as law enforcement has been asking more and more questions about him, and by exposing the psychiatrist, the truth will be revealed. I had no other leads but I told him, I have an interview with Detective Todd Langer tomorrow morning which can help his cause. He was overjoyed. And I wrote the introduction to my column. After a little dinner with Santos, I headed to the meetup spot, taking the rocky roads to avoid the main. At least it was cool that night I kept my car locked and out of sight of the coach whom I watched sitting relatively still in his car, as I crept near. I could see he was jittering as I snuck aside him, and tapped his window. If only a photo of his reaction had value. He was surprised I came but said we will need to be careful and observe a ritual. I asked what kind of ritual. He said the ritual of Tlanchana. I told him, you lied about the necklace. He said, I didn't tell the police or anyone else what I know, some ancient ritual wouldn't be believed or would make people think I am crazy. I asked him what evidence will I see. He said evidence that Dr. Thompson and his patients, including the Branches, are doing experiments that led to Fatima's death. We walked to the clinic, under the moonlight, careful not to be seen and enter the backway through some bushes. I saw the Doctor, and a set of people, including the Branches; he was wearing a feathered headdress and directed his flock to the pool. The clients undressed and entered the pool, as I took photos. I couldn't say a bachelor wasn't happy with some of the sights but was worried as they seemed to live in the water. I asked the coach if Fatima ever showed this ability. He gave a convincing no with his nodding. Mermaids, people of the sea, in a suburb of the United States of America. What a story. I saw them under the water for an hour and a half. They all came out adjusted for the air and seemed overjoyed. During their underwear stay I asked the coach how he learned about this. He said he read a notebook of Fatima's which mentioned this a while back, saying her parents always did this on a full moon, like tonight. I pondered, maybe Fatima tried this away from the pool. That would explain her not coming up and make her parents or the doctor complicit but the sudden turn of behavior didn't have a cause. I told the coach, Detective Langer will definitely want to see this, which made the coach very happy. The coach said he needed to get back to the city, he has early morning preparations to do. I told him thanks and I will be alright. I wanted to stay and see. After a meal, and some prayers for the candles, the clients left and the Doctor was alone. I figured it was about time to head back when a car came back. Here we go. The Doctor seemed prepared and had a gun in his pocket. He opened the door for a woman, blond, middle aged. He gestured for her to sit in the lobby and she did and then he accused her of something and they argued. Between mermaids performing under the water and mermaids arguing outside of it, I have decent material. Whatever this woman told the doctor had him in shock. She leaves patient or confident. While I am confused. A dead champion child swimmer who never came up for air, the venerable Tlanchana, mermaids in modern times, a coach scared of being exposed, a rogue mermaid with a secret. I thought of what I learned going back to my car. In my foolishness, I didn't notice if the car was locked and just entered it. I sat down and someone clubbed me. Wobbly, I noticed one of two was the coach or the blond woman. I was tied up but I could talk now. I asked them what is going on. They both told me to shut up, while they dragged me to the sea. And I realized i was being taken to where Fatima died. The night tide was coming in heavy. The moonlight was visible as I held my breath unable to move. A reported in a few hours would be falsely reported as a news maker who knew of the Doctors practices and coerced Fatima Branch into a botched story absent anyone's knowledge. A murphy, a sap, me. All I could do was focus on the moonlight, and struggle against the ropes. Suddenly, I saw a snake like figure break the moonlight. A great tide came in. It knocked me out. When I woke up I was on the beach, alone. I had no idea of what happened to the coach or the blond woman. But the rope was severed. I took hours to get back to the car. Luckily they didn't take my money, so I was able to get a bus ride some of the way. I found my car where I left it and broke in. My camera was intact but I wondered. I checked everywhere in the car, my wallet, compartments, pockets, trunk, and I checked my journal and the camera. I had photos of Fatima Branch, I never made, naked. I had essays from her, she never gave to me. And it nearly all fit. A coach with an inappropriate relationship with a student, a child. A child of mermaids with one from her flock who had a role in her death. But she knew a secret so strong she couldn't be revealed. Sirens. Police sirens. Valentin creeping behind law enforcement, for the Concrete inquirer. I saw they were headed to the psychiatrist. I followed them in my car. Detective Langer came out a car and I parked and exited. I took all the planned material in a bag with me and refilled my camera, took my pad and exited. Langer saw me and was in shock, and said: "We've been looking for you, the coach came in and confessed to violating Branch, attempted murder of you and planting false evidence." I told him if he let me speak to the Doctor, and I will give you the planted material. The detective said: "only because you had a rough night, and the Doctor and you are only needed for questioning, five minutes. " I handed the bag and ran to the door of the clinic and reached it as the Doctor was opening it to leave. The detective gave the signal and the cops allowed me to push the Doctor back in. I locked the door and I told him, I saw the mermaids earlier that evening with the coach, and I saw him argue with a blond woman, who tried to kill me. The Doctor said the water was a perfluorochemical solution he made. It seemed to ease his patients being able to be free in the water. I asked, if you knew the blond woman had hurt Fatima, why didn't he go to the police earlier. He said, she knew the secrets of his practice. If she told, all of his patients plus him would go to jail. He accepted what he did but his clients are fearful and desperate people. And then I comprehended the truth behind the candles, and law enforcement knocked on the door. I was questioned and said all but my late conversation to the Doctor or the glimmer that is a foggy photo in my mind. Poor Fatima, harassed into a state of anxiety, believing her death was what the water spirit wanted. Fatima was a gift, the lone child who survived a cult of natophobes who wanted to be mermaids to alleviate their fears. And between a coach preying on her body plus mind, frightened to be exposed and a member of her cult, envious of Fatima's success with a candle for their own failure. The young swimmer was caught in a deadly delusion. Eventually, the body of Marilyn Cox was found washed up on shore. By then the coach, and all he saw of girls or goddesses, was in jail. The pseudo mermaids, including the Branch's had swum elsewhere, living in their deadly wet fears. But while Fatima was untouched in the water. Marillyn seemed to be crushed by a serpent. A benevolent spirit to the fearful, forgiving even of their sins, but to the treacherous, deadly.

Queried in this post https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/12742-favourite-black-intellectuals/ MY ANSWER I will answer how I feel about some Black intellectuals already mentioned in the comments. James Baldwin- I love his cutting honesty, from himself or to others. He admitted that he was unhappy in the usa in a complete way. and he admitted he returned to the usa when he saw the usa was extended everywhere outside. He didn't call usa home de facto cause he was born here, which so many Black DOSers say stupidly. Our forebears were enslaved , adult to children, don't tell me the usa is home to black children living in utter hell who were forced here. They need to choose the usa as home, it isn't de facto. Baldwin admitted something I rarely hear any black person admit to. That all/most of the black elders around him hated white people. Even today so many black DOSers seem to be apologist for black dislike of whites as if whites didn't earn this. I love the fact that he was off camera vibrantly homosexual. So many black DOSers hide their true selves their whole lives. Many Black militants who want to kill whites hide their whole lives in the usa, it is silly. Many Black whitephiles who dislike other black people for being black hide their whole lives in the usa, , acting like they like being around other black people, it is silly. Baldwin was very honest. Angela Davis- I like that she is a survivor. and embraces that the battle has to be continued by the next generation. It isn't up for one person to be the leader and be at the frong forever and if the next generations aren't willing , then the results will be what they will be. I will never Farrakhan- is a good reader of the environment, he recognized black men across the usa was looking for guidance, but sadly he wasted the opportunity to guide and instead convinced the black men of what they don't like about the usa. url https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/12742-favourite-black-intellectuals/#findComment-81681 MY ANSWER NOT GIVEN hmmm My favorite black intellectual? Well, how do I define a black intellectual? how do I define someone as black? how do I define an intellectual? Black is a word which can designate a phenotypical race. A phenotypical race is a collection of people who exist within a range of physical features. An intellectual is any human who uses their intellect and displays to another. this includes all humanity. A black intellectual is any black person. Who are my favorite black intellectuals? Black intellectuals i favor, i prefer for some reason. What are the reasons I will favor an intellectual? most potent in my rearing, a black intellectual who has a huge role the way in my mental development, the intellectuals about children are important. aligns to my thinking, intellectuals that i have the most congruence with from my own intellect. Who are the Black Intellectuals I favor based on the reasons stated? My parents. Two mahogany skinned black people. One male, One female, communicated about all sorts of issues, had opposing positions but never went to blows, could accept unresolved differences of opinion absent the need to proseltyize/preach, both liked to learn and listen to all black or non black. They showed me how varied being black is. They knew all about black history from around the earth, it wasn't just about the usa, and they lived thrugh the 1900s in such a way, they knew the truth about alot of black history in the usa in the 1900s, that many black people have been lied to about, even by other black people. And they also made sure i had something that too too few black people have,a truly positive black environment. As a child I not only had a loving home, but 99% of my neighbors were black people who were positive themselves, the most local businesses were all black owned, my public schools were all black administered, 99% being all. So i grew up surrounded by black positivity. Which sadly, is something too few black people are raised around anywhere on earth. When I look at my youth the biggest opponent to happiness was the nypd and the larger harlem and the larger manhattan and the larger NYC. So I enjoyed not only their intellect but the intellectual environment they provided for me. Said environment being a rarity among black folk, not just the apartment or house, but the larger immediate community was positive. In this very forum i have read so many black people talk about their local community as dangerous and various forms or levels of negativity, it is sad but I am thankful to my parents as black intellectuals for comprehending how important it is for black children to be around black positivity, not merely in the home but outside it in the near locale. Many black intellectuals are well known, like dubois or douglass or nkrumah or others. But the ones that are closest aligned to my thinking are...Marcus Garvey , Jean JAcques Dessalines, Brother Malcolm. Garvey through his comprehension of what home is for black descended of enslaved or other black people when it comes to the non black . Dessalines because he comprehended the truth about black descended of enslaved people in the american continent,we are unique peoples and don't have to mirror or match others in the american continent, none of whom are similar. Malcolm because he literally engineered the nation of islam and didn't use the nation of islam for profit, he showed alegendary quality of leadership to a peoples who have no money, true advocacy. 05302026 https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/12742-favourite-black-intellectuals/#findComment-81703 @Troy i have said before in this very forum many many times, i am stateless, from my view. I know the legal standing i have by the white country I live in, but I have my own position to myself. @aka Contrarian Interesting point , if we are all honest, most black people have only ever complained about the usa or the english colonies preceding it, cause most black people were unhappy in the usa or the english colonies that preceded at as an environment. But well said, most white people say they love the usa , not just that it is their home, and that love is based on opportunities and betterment not just for themselves but their community, which was born by any means necessary. The black people who call the usa home have never been able to call the sua a land of opportunity or betterment for the black masses, maybe for themsleves, but never for a majority of black people like whites, this the complaint heritage you speak of and allude to through troy and others prose. Well said. and yes, black unity in the usa has always been elusive and i think complicated because black people don't have a unfiied relationship to the usa. all whites, can say their forebears came here willingly, for better or worse. but all blacks can't say that and time can't change that. What a question on WEB DUbois. I don't know. It is a great thought experiment. The problem is DUbois died unlike his heyday. He was arguably a garveyite in his final years who was used as a tool by whites to get garvey out the usa when younger so... Dubois is tough. I think to the point you mentioned, Dubois would dislike the modern complaint culture in the black populace in usa , simply because black people have been doing it for 250 years, alongside, trying everything from elected officials to starting businessess and never able to really get the majority of black people in a positive place. Good enigmatic quesiton. I don't know what tribe dubois would be in modernity. It is funny, the creation of the constitution holds the problem to categorization in the usa. The constitution seems to only suggest the human race, but the reality of the usa by the very person who wrote it is against that notion. And even though I know people of all racial types [phenotype/age/religion/or others ]who are done with categorizing , like yourself, i also know people who are proud categorizers of all said racial types as well... Maybe the answer is for a country to start one day that doesn't merely have the words of the constitution but is peopled by people who actually believe in unbiased humanity, a kind of universal individualism. I saw a thing called asian 30 or something like that, and an actor, indian /of india descent. he said, i quote, he knows there are many in the usa who will never consider him american. Andh here is someone whose parents willingly came to the usa, has earned millions in hollywood, and admits that no matter what he does, there are those who will never consider the usa his home. I think it sums up the challenges of the future at least. In my head maybe the states identity has to return,... before the war between the states people in the usa considered themselves of the states they lived in , not american. So, maybe that will return. @ProfD I fortunately plus unfortunately have traveled quite a bit and i know modern haiti isn't for me, I know too many haitians, even if modern haiti were to turn around financially,, turn around greatly, it isn't for me. But I would be very happy for the legacy of the Haiti of yore. 05/30/2026 https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/12742-favourite-black-intellectuals/#findComment-81723 @Troy I am not going to answer your question outside of the following. I am stateless and think what you will @aka Contrarian like the romani in europe, the okinawans in japan,the nuba in egypt/kemet, many peoples spend so long abused by a larger populace, more potent group that their being dominated becomes a heritage. What Pioneer said led me to realize the key to when this happened, was 1865. From 1492 to 1865 no black person could say the usa was better than canada or mexico , either they were equal to the usa, Or after england banned enslavement or mexico banned enslavement ala jonas caballo, both canada or mexico made slavery illegal while slavery was still legal in the usa. Then from 1865 to 1980 the black wife was still shackled by the white mate, but he spent time explaining why she was enslaved/ alal the prison system + sharecropping+ absent government funding for anything. But in the 1865 time, before and after was key. As henry louis gates jr admited, the black church pondered whether to use violence or nonviolence. I am still trying to find out this meeting and vote, but from what he says, by one vote, nonviolence won and , i argue the rest is history. Pioneer says what country is better, but while modernity, 2026 can argue the usa is better, in the 1800s, the usa wasn't better for black people than any other country. So black leaders embracing the usa as a home was not based on laws or finance, but hope or faith. And sadly, black people, the black wife, paid for that gamble with modernity, consequences. @Pioneer1 thankyou for your prose, You expose a key point in black history in the usa, and how black people are to blame for the current condition en large in the usa. I think aka is correct. as Nina Simone said, black people are willing to march but not willing to die, she blamed malcolm/martin and others death on black people in the usa, saying they are willing to march but not die but you expose the source of that choice and it isn't whites but black people in the past. 05302026 MY ENLARGED @Troy I said I am stateless, whatever you are thinking, please think it. but the only answer i give to your query is i am stateless, as I comprehend being stateless. @aka Contrarian In the usa, from 1492 to 1865 it was because the white mate had the black wife chained/enslaved. A wife by force of male arms , chained to the bed, she can't go anywhere. From 1865 to 1980 was a critical time. That time dictated the wife today. From 1865 to 1965 the white mate kept the chain on by force of arms but made up rules justifying it to the mate. From 1965 to 1980, the white mate had kept the black wife chained so long, he started to let her off the chain but the years on the chain did their work. Many abused women after enough time accept the abuse without being policed or forced in the house. From 1980 to 2026/modernity your description is a good summary for blacks in the usa , simply because, from 1492 to 2026 the usa has been a terror for 95% of black people by no fault of their own while a fault of the environment of the usa or the european colonies that precede it that are white controlled. If you look at okinawans / the romani or gypsies, many peoples on earth who have been enslaved to a more dominant populace for centuries , no longer need to be cghained to remain in the house so to speak. Look at NAtive Americans in the usa . No people are more stateless or abused than native americans in the usa. Most people in the usa literally go to school hearing how native americans were in these lands beofre anyone else and were opposed to the european colonies or the usa in majority and yet, most people act like the native american was praying for the constitution and amultiracial society of peoples from around the world. so... it happens. James Forten , again, he fought alongside george washignton, ablack business owner, who could not be ignorant that 99% of black people in the usa were enslaved, and would still be enslaved if the usa was created. And yet, he fought for the creation of the usa. so.. IF anything part of the wife's problem is a part of her body, a small part but very influential to her body, yearns to be controlled by her mate. @Pioneer1 You know what is sad, and I wonder @aka Contrarian thoughts to the following... Before the war between the states, started, Frederick Douglass and HArriet Tubman had a schism/problem. HArriet Tubman wanted Black people to go as far away from the usa as possible, to the then, frozen north of canada. But Douglass wanted black people to stay in the usa. Now, comprehend this is before the war between the states. so Frederick Douglass literally wants black people to stay in a country where they are legally enslaved and not go to a country where they would not be legally enslaved. Why am I saying this? First thank you for getting me to think on this. But, beyond that, you always talk about better options, but the Black people like frederick Douglass who publicly admitted, he didn't want black people freed from slavery in the usa to leave to canada or haiti or mexico or anywhere, even though he knew in haiti or canada or mexico for whatever poverty black freed people would face, , they would be legally free. I think in cheap retrospect, it answers Aka Contrarians point about the abused wife. At the end of the day, in the 1800s white people in the usa, didn't want black people to leave. and all the leaders who supported staying in the usa in an integrated, and sequentially abusable way to whites: douglass/dubois the younger/booker t /ida b wells were supported by whites, and those who advocated leaving: garvey or segregation exodusters were hindered by whites to destroy their movements. But, it leads to the truth, black leaders who supported black people remaining in the usa in the critical time circa 1865 , aided by whites, were able to get the largrer black populace to stay put even though in the 1800s no black person could argue betterment in the usa over canada or mexico or haiti or really anywhere else. Yes, in modernity , 2026 , an argument can be made, but the black populace of today, reached today because in the past we didn't do what harriet tubman suggested and leave as much as possible outside the usa. And yes, she died in the usa, but she was an old woman whose family had chosen to settle in the usa, so she did. But, yeah, you and many black people always speak of bette roptions but even when better options were available, in the late 1800s, black people advocated for staying in the usa. The wife had an idea in her head absent merit but supported by the husband, that the house of the abusive white husband was no better than the neighbors even when the neighbors actually didn't have chains for her. And, again, no one today can go back in the past, no one can. The past can not be changed. bUT again, the assessment of the past is wrong by many black people. Black leadership simply failed Pioneer at a critical stage, late 1800s. I can use other peoples as my example. The taiwanese real problem is chang kai check, fled to formosa, and instead of making a path to truly unite with head bowed to mao's china, he set up the idea that taiwan was the true continuity of china, even though he himself knew, that not to be true. Negative leadership has massive consequences for any people. When I look at the jucnture of africa/asia/europe, the middle east, i sea a horde of bad leaderhsip from external + internal agents. People long dead but the influence of what they did lingers. Black people in the usa are living with the consequences of the choices of black leaderhsip in the mid to late 1800s. So yes, arguably, Black DOSers have no better option financially , than the usa. in 2026, but better options existed in the past and black leaders, with white support, successfully made blacks en large choose wrong. Thank you and Aka contrarian. Going forward, I think as someone said in this forum, i forget who and paraphrase , that the modern black immigrant is the future of the black populace in the usa. In cheap retrospect i concur, because, Black DOSers are in a trap of their own making. Black DOS leaders, not all, but most, gambled our populace on the USA being something it will never be, being something black DOSers are willing to wait happily for, or work through all walls to reach. They chose poorly. But the modern black immigrants approach the usa as the whites and most others, a people who have never been enslaved, and willingly come to the usa. As the black populace mixes in itself, DOSers side modern immigrants and other blacks, it will create the change. So all will be well, it will take time. and Blacl DOS heritage in the usa will combine with black modern immigrant to make a new black culture in the usa that will suit the usa better. 05312026 https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/12742-favourite-black-intellectuals/#findComment-81728 @ProfD Since you don't know all I can say is, keep that truth and the rest of your views. All I will say is I know and I differ. 05312026 EXTENDED COMMENT @ProfD Black people in the 1800s knew of canada through simple communication as human beings, people gossip, even the enslaved, who were denied the right to write or read could still talk and overheard and gossiped and whispered. Again the one constant between black people who call the usa home is how most keep all their viewpoints of everythingt o justify their position in any way possible, like they are trying to convince it through.

Those of you who go out and stay Out all night and half the next day And expect us to be home When you get there But let me tell you something The sisters are not going for that no more 'Cause we realize two things That you aren't doing anything for us We can better do by ourselves So from now on, we gonna use What we got to get what we want So, you'd better think, think Now's the time when we have respect That's the thing I never will forget Now baby, I got a lot to live And a whole lotta loving That a woman could give, yeah But before I give it up, I gotta think, think What the future holds for me Is too far ahead to see I don't need no heartache I can't stand no misery Let me think, think It takes two to make a thing go right It takes two to make it outta sight All right, yeah Don't say it's easy Know it can be rough Just plain living Sometimes it's kinda tough If it's not in your vision Don't make no decision Hey, yeah, all right So, I'm laying my cards on the table When it comes to taking care of me I know I'm able You may not call it true But I won't do nothing that you won't do Said I won't do nothing that you won't do So think about the good things Come on and think about the right things You got to think about me too Come on and think, think about you Come on and think about the good things Come on and think about the right things Come on and think about me too Songwriters: James Brown. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_Takes_Two_(Rob_Base_%26_DJ_E-Z_Rock_song) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Base_%26_DJ_E-Z_Rock
