URL https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/journal/BlackHistory337-2026-2027-4-1339274920 CONTENT #BlackHistory337 is about the time between Black History Months, when many people including some Black people don't make an effort to emphasize Black History. 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? Please share a Black detective written in the great annals of Deviantart. 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.

Officialdom does not lie about everything....Nor Am I saying they are lying about this event in particular. Officialdom tend to lie about things that are part of an agenda.....that certain individuals in positions of power wish to keep from the public or make public - for their own reasons. Below I an applying your logics and reasoning to the incident you accept as real and true...holding up a mirror so to speak - maybe you can see your dissonance caused by bias and propaganda So it did not blow up in a Walmart Parking lot On a busy shopping day and you were not there to see it.....yet you believe that story. That is Officialdom.... Large Mass Media outlets are part of Officialdom..... they tend to have Intelligence Agents working in and among them in decision making positions. The Globe Enquirer and Star is reputed to have had the most.....because of this some even believe they were an arm of the Intelligence apparatus. Of course it is real.....its on video or is it .... Real because officialdom says it is UFO's buzzed the White House in the 1952.....Well known US Government Site Miami Mall alien incident 2024 had multiply eyewitness and a stadium full of eyewitnesses in Italy 1954 Soccer (football) match We now have many clear video....but even better instrumental recordings The 1950 incident in Washington and Italy were both public spectacle..... 2024 so called "drones" shut down Wright Patterson Military airbase.....a military airbase shut down by drones - figure that one out How would you know something is hidden or held in secrecy .........some one has to leak leading or suggestive info first - "Whistleblower" The shroud and obscurity is the cover up.....otherwise called a propaganda campaign of misinformation and disinformation.

@ProfD Imo, the problem is not whether elections are held, It's whether the loser will go quietly without claiming the outcome was rigged. Since both parties draw millions of votes, it's just hard for me to believe that either side will meekly consent to living under a type of government they passionately disapprove of, for the next 4 years. Something's gotta give, considering how divided the country has become.
-
So do I.
-
@R.E. Hayes: I'd be interested in hearing more input from you since you show promise of providing fresh and what hints at being succinct observations. @Pioneer1 Since you have no proof of that, it's nothing more than an opinion given in response to my opinion.
-
Being non-violent & fearing death doesn't make people less intelligent. Conversely, is the person who straps on a bomb & blows up a bunch of sh8t & themselves more intelligent than everyone else? A bully or someone prone to violence doesn't make them any stronger or more intelligent than it makes a non-violent person look weak & stupid. I believe in violence but not because I'm barbaric or unintelligent. Peace is always the 1st line of self-defense but violence when necessary is a part of survival.😎
-
Right. There's still a difference between good-paying jobs & high-paying jobs. I'll have to take your word for it because I don't have a lot of dumbazz people living around me.🤣 Not necessarily especially when class keeps a boot on the neck of people who have potential if given a fair opportunity.😎
-
Back in the 1980s, I witnessed brawls between neighborhood gangs with 30-40 n8gglets throwing punches at each other. Later on, they started bringing guns. This was before Gangsta Rap took off.😎
-
Remains to be seen if a torch bearer for POTUS OJ comes along. It's definitely not Vice POTUS JD Vance or Secretary of State Marco Rubio. They don't have the it factor to carry the MAGA base. A real Black man or woman won't occupy the Oval Office until the USA is totally FUBAR (f8cked up beyond all repair).🤣 Appreciate the recognition.😁 But, I'm not alone in believing there will be a 2028 election.😎

ProfD There are several avenues for making the case. There may be several avenues, but if they're all leading to the same location....does it matter which one you take? When Rome ruled the entire world, there was a reason why people said "All roads lead to Rome"....lol. Violence & war is how white folks get down when diplomacy fails. Sounds like the Mafia. White folks have been using violence to conquer & dominate using sticks & stones. Long before advanced weaponry which is just an extension of it. True. But THEY actually graduated to now using ballistic missiles and Apache helicopters; meanwhile...... For whatever reason, you give white folks credit for being intelligent when they are barbaric more than anything else. Well.... If they're NOT intelligent but rather stupid barbarians.....what does that say about the intellect and status of the people THEY'RE ruling over?
-
ProfD Most higher paying jobs require a certain amount of education. Back in the day....before racism broke up most of the unions....there were plenty of good paying factory and government jobs that required little more than a highschool diploma. Adults are responsible for fixing their own mistakes. While this is true, it must be kept in mind that a lot of people don't have the intellect or knowledge TO fix their mistakes. Regardless of how it looks, classes exist for a reason. Most def.... And for GOOD reason.
-
ProfD It could last forever if someone was willing to keep it going beyond him. I don't see that kind of movement among the MAGA base. These people will enjoy the BS POTUS OJ is creating & when the proverbial picnic is over, they'll get in their pick-up trucks & go home. In fact, the MAGA base is already becoming jaded. In 2 years or less, they will fade away like the Tea Party. If I may, allow me to use YOUR OWN WORDS to push back against this belief.... Don't think out of 74 million people none of them will try to take advantage of the atmosphere he's made by keeping the flame burning and keeping the momentum going long past his presidency. They're using him and his presidency as the "pilot episode" for a long term series. POTUS Obama was the 1st of a kind that we'll never see again in our lifetime. If we don't, trust me...I won't be shedding any tears over it. We needs a full fledged FBA brutha (or sista....but preferably a brutha) in the White House. No more funny ass niggaz with funny names of questionable racial backgrounds. We needs a JEROME JACKSON up in that Oval Office. I believe starting with the 2028 election, the next few POTUS will be plain in terms of their personality & actions; rather dull & boring. The fact that you believe there will even BE a 2028 election gets you marked as "Optimist Of The Year" in my book....lol.

ProfD As a Gen-Xer, I did not act a fool but I had plenty friends who did the same sh8t & in some cases much worse. Back in the late 1970s/through mid-1980s, DC had gangs. Many of them graduated to become drug dealers & killers. Those same Gen-Xers are either stretched out in the penitentiary or no long longer with us. Some of them managed to reproduce too. In our generation them crazy ass "down for whatever" niggaz were actually only a few and far in between. That's why they stood out. Because most of us....the vast majority....were NOT like that. Today is different. Today nearly EVERY kid wants to be a thug, clown, somebody nots to be fucked with. So the vast majority are smoking weed, getting tattoos and clowning in the streets. So the difference isn't so much the behavior as it is the PERCENTAGE of those engaging in the behavior. These young people are doing the same dumb sh8t as their parents (Gen-Y) & in some cases...grandparents (Gen-X). That's another thing. They grew up hearing stories from their parents and grandparents about how crazy the 80s and especially the 90s were and they have a distorted image that every young Black male was walking around like Tupac. So they want to make a name for their generation too. Cynique In reality, not all problems have solutions when you're dealing human with beings. All problems DO INDEED have solutions. We may not KNOW what those solutions are, but they do exist. If it doesn't have a solution, it's not actually a problem. Efforts to turn homosexuals "straight" , come to mind....lol.

Multiple media outlets reported it. Real video footage. It blew up at Cape Canaveral. Well known NASA launch site. Beyond the NASA video, multiple eyewitnesses confirmed it. No cover-up or top secret files. The video was clear enough that I could see & hear as if I was there. The point is that even if staged it was a public spectacle. Not hidden or obscured in a shroud of secrecy.😎
-
Here's when I hung out with PRINCE. 😉 I'm really having fun doing what it's possible to do nowadays!😜
-
How did you know about it??? Did it blow up in a Walmart parking lot? If not Officialdom's reportage...... What evidence or proof do you have that this occurred then? Or Where you there when it happened?
-
So, what can be deduced from this situation is that it has a history, and is an ongoing situation. In reality, not all problems have solutions when you're dealing human with beings. That's a hard reality to accept.
-
@ProfD Cynic that I am, secure in the probability that I won't be around to witness it, I think the USA is done for. There will be no reconciliation between the conservative fascistic MAGAs and the Liberal DEI crowd. The divisions are too deep and entrenched. I think America will eventually split into 2 different nations, separately governed. "A house divided against itself cannot stand."
-
It could last forever if someone was willing to keep it going beyond him. I don't see that kind of movement among the MAGA base. These people will enjoy the BS POTUS OJ is creating & when the proverbial picnic is over, they'll get in their pick-up trucks & go home. In fact, the MAGA base is already becoming jaded. In 2 years or less, they will fade away like the Tea Party. Only POTUS OJ curses & insults people on live TV. None of his followers go as hard. They use him as a proxy. Right. POTUS OJ made that statement before he got elected the 1st time. He was sat down for a 4-year cycle & was re-elected back into the driver's seat for a 2nd time with a ton of baggage. POTUS OJ represents far more than the 74 million folks that voted for him. There are Independent & Democrats & non-voters living vicariously through him. POTUS Obama was the 1st of a kind that we'll never see again in our lifetime. POTUS OJ is not equivalent to him but similar as a one-off. I believe starting with the 2028 election, the next few POTUS will be plain in terms of their personality & actions; rather dull & boring.😎
-
There are several avenues for making the case. Diplomacy only works up to a point. Look no further than the current conflict with Iran. While they continue having high-level meetings to discuss the issues, the default is that we'll go back to blowing sh8t up & killing people if a deal cannot be reached. Not to mention how effortlessly the USA blows up boats in the water suspected of running drugs. Violence & war is how white folks get down when diplomacy fails. White folks have been using violence to conquer & dominate using sticks & stones. Long before advanced weaponry which is just an extension of it. For whatever reason, you give white folks credit for being intelligent when they are barbaric more than anything else.😎

It is true that Crack babies have become adults & reproduced. These young people are doing the same dumb sh8t as their parents (Gen-Y) & in some cases...grandparents (Gen-X).😎

ProfD Perhaps you're right. When I go back to Detroit or visit places like Chicago and Atlanta, I see plenty of wealthy Black people. But I've also seen far more dysfunctional Black people today than in the past growing up. Maybe I weren't as aware of them as I am now.
