True...we live it day to day Most of our brothers and sister on the Motherland do not even know it when it hits them... True....people hold on to their ignorance as if it is some thing that is good for them What is good is that when you tell them what it is that is going on.....next time its hits them they will recognize it for what it is True to them we are lost fighting racism....to us they are lost fighting tribalism True True.... The good thing is that we have institutions in place... -

The Department of Defense Secretary is praying for the destruction of enemies as the US bombs Iran. It would be poetic if the universe wiped out him & his entire family.

The great experiment that is the United States of America (USA) even in its relative youth as a 250-year old nation has studied the history of empires...their rise & fall. The *smartest* thing the USA did was allowing people from all of the planet to come & live in this country. Though its institutions, the USA has tapped into the best & brightest minds from around the world. Through its power of money & influence & military strength, the USA has become the leading super power in the world. There is no other country on the planet to which more people immigrate. I don't believe the USA will implode or self-destruct under the weight of its own largesse. Nor will disputes & bickering among disparate groups of people (tribes) derail the USA either. I believe it will take an act of of the universe i.e. series of natural disasters to dismantle &/or destroy the USA. There's always the remote possibility that white people will get fed up with each other & start firing off those nuclear bombs. Of course, going nuclear means game over for humanity as we know.

Netflix: The New Segregation In Entertainment?
ProfD replied to Pioneer1's topic in Culture, Race & Economy
FBA/ADO/AfroAmericans do not have an ancestral homeland to which we can return. FBA/ADO/AfroAmericans were born here in the USA. Over 400 years, FBA/ADO/AfroAmericans have made the *best of* a bad situation, America's original sin *slavery* . In the present, when FBA/ADO/AfroAmericans look back over the past couple hundred years, we have made progress in our homeland, the country that enslaved our forebearers. Unfortunately, as a people, FBA/ADO/AfroAmericans do not have the same level of malice, revenge & violence to *right* the atrocities that have been & are being committed against us by white folks. Instead of slaughtering white folks & destroying their institutions that were built on the backs of FBA/ADO/AfroAmericans, our people have continually figured out how to survive & thrive in the prison of racism white supremacy. As mentioned above, FBA/ADO/AfroAmericans have figured out how to survive & thrive under these conditions. Still, that should not prevent people from staying in their home countries & rebuilding it. Giving up & running to the colonizers house doesn't make sense either. Where else can or should FBA/ADO/AfroAmericans go to live if the USA is their birthplace? IMO, it does not take that long. We can see the progress or lack thereof around the planet. We know the reasons for it too. Those who are willing to go to war; kill & destroy ultimately enjoy the rewards of it. There's a difference between bringing a terrorist into one's country & becoming a subject versus being born in the same country with the terrorist. Money comes & goes. Even the most honest, astute, savvy, intelligent investors have amassed & lost & regained fortunes. Most successful people fail a lot before they strike it big. The way one chooses to rebound from loss or failure makes a difference. Sitting on the bench crying, grumbling & complaining won't lead to success. Many Black folks have figured out how to navigate white terror in order to win. Easy...no. Doable...absolutely. -
NATIONALISM OF CHRIST my comment Posted just now @ProfD On 3/22/2026 at 9:20 PM, ProfD said: I doubt liberal white folks will allow the Chrsitian Nationalists to take over the country & force everyone to adopt it. Well, the issue isn't allowing the issue is who can stop this from going to war. The USA has a long history of internal military conflicts. The secession from the english empire was mostly fought between peoples who were of the english colonies and other european colonies. it wasn't colonists vs the english, it was colonist vs colonist. one side of colonist had aid from the french military and spanis military, the other side of colonist had aid from the english military. In the war of 1812, it was the same, many people in the usa fought with the english to reclaim the usa. new england/virginia/carolinas/kansas all had regional wars between whites. and then came the war between the states. The creation of the federal bureau of investigation was first for the original klu klux klan whose mission it was to become the largest subcommunity in the white populace and thus take over the usa, the fbi, through all sorts of means undid the original klu klux klan, which i argue prevented armed conflict from a larger scale occuring in the white populace in the usa. Then the fbi and other agencies did similar into all organizations in the usa to make sure none ... led to anything, so to speak. The nation of islam, the sons of odin, the tong, every organization in the usa i hear has a three letter agent and their sole role has to be quelling any organizations ability to start a massive armed conflict in the usa, which will lead to larger ones as in the past. This the 1950s 1960s 1970s where many people in the usa were... taken out of commission in various ways. Now in modernity, I argue, the military + three letter organizations are the ones keeping this piece, not so called liberal whites or so called conservative whites. it is the military industrial complex keeping the peace. I don't have proof. But their goal isnt preventing any from taking over the country as you say, their goal in my mind, is keeping a peace, because the usa is demographically very weak. You can't get ten people in the usa in any city to explain what unites people in the usa outside of lies/commercial statements/ or honest I don't knows. All ten will not say the simple truth, individual greed. The problem with that truth is, individual greed doesn't lend to working with others, by default. If you can't get people in the usa to comprehend why they should be aligned casually, if they start thinking the walls will get higher. The question is one of arms. Schrumpft is president now. The states are already showing at least two camps on alot of issues, but they haven't armed themselves. The good news for the military is the post lincoln federalism has successfully defanged all states in the union. None of them can survive a month without the federal welfare check. Circa 1865 most states in the union had totally internal economies, they battled each other for trade let alone places outside the usa. so, the key is the states,will the schrumpf era lead to states developing themselves to be self sufficient as in the past? if so , that will lead to war eventually Another potential is a fissure in the military which would quicken the pace, but it seems the military hasn't fissured but it has happened in the past and will happen again eventually. @aka Contrarian 22 hours ago, aka Contrarian said: Why? Because they promote a lot of issues that Blacks go along with: They are against abortion, believing that life begins at conception, they are homophobic and anti LGBQT, they advocate prayer in public schools, and are not sympathetic about Hispanicl immigrants. The views Blacks have in common with these hypocritical, racist, super patriotic fascistic, fanatical conspiracy theorists make them and Evangelical Nationals strange bedfellows... And to be blunt, the challenge is on our particular tribe. Black DOSers are in a modernity where the usa it is fifty years, a half century, since the sixties and black dosers as individuals have achieved a lot, more than any other group arguably, but as a populace, are even farther from being a potent community. and so i think many DOSers are in the resent phase when plans don't go as some preached or some prayed for or some guaranteed. How many black parents told black children what to do and it turned out hogwash? don't break the law, go to ivy league, be a proud american, embrace the other as a human being, hasn't led to much of anything for a lot of black people, and definitely hasnt led to the black populace being a black community. so, blame game for many, lets blame the immigrant, lets blame muslims. even black immigrants or black muslims are under attack. Not strange bedfellows. many white german jewish organizations were in full support of the nazis with the nazi's yelling death to all jews. it isn't strange. all populaces of people are broken up into tribes in truth because how people see the world, themselves, their future, is rarely the same. These blacks are frightened of white power, are making a gambit that allegiance with them will save them from violence, from harm, they don't care for the multiracial USA that was probably promised by their parents and elders growing up as a positive when that was an over simplification. The black church... whom I have so much to say on, misguided the black populace in all earnest, in times past and has been forever regretful that it fucked up, blaming all but itself for its modern condition. https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/12612-christian-nationalism-on-the-rise-in-usa/#findComment-80887 COLORISM BETWEEN COLORS my comment Posted just now @Pioneer1 what do you want exactly?

Netflix: The New Segregation In Entertainment?
richardmurray replied to Pioneer1's topic in Culture, Race & Economy
@ProfD That is a large suggestion... I don't know... 100% your correct that the condition of 99% of black people in the usa 1865 who were completely enslaved, which means financially whites made sure said black percentage had, no money, no bank account, no inheritance, no knowledge of fiscal concerns like a contract or ledger ; educationally means [not through laziness but white power], no ability to read, no ability to write, no knowledge of their forebears, no knowledge of their populaces intricacies[enslaved black people were born enslaved, they didn't know about haiti a land made by DOSers, abyssinia the only part of africa not a european colony, the larger DOS populaces in south america, knowledge of monrovia or freetown, in modernity yes, a black person can say what we know but 1865 most black people in the usa didn't have any knowledge of black people outside of their slave quarter, they didn't know of the gens de colour of new orleans unless they were actually from new orleans which wasn't most black people by a large distance in the usa] ; Culturally, what we grow or are growing to, means [ through white power again]: no direction[and this is huge, again in modernity black people talk about american alot, but in 1865 our forebears weren't american. they wanted to be free yes, but they didn't associate freedom with the usa. this is something we tend to miss today. Our forebears in 1865 didn't want to be president, didn't want fight with whites, didn't want to live with whites, so the fact that a majority of us in the usa do now, means black people made choices BUT they made choices absent all the things in this paragraph i wrote, which are influential. Hell, I argue, most black people at the end of the war between the states, when the usa's modern midwestern/western states were all still territories should had moved en mass to canada. And I know that Frederick Douglass opposed Harriet Tubman because tubman wanted black people to go all the way up north to canada but frederick douglass, very statian, was looking to his individual benefit and knew that whites in the usa have always disliked the idea of Black DOSers leaving this country with hateful hearts in mass for obvious reasons. But Tubman was correct, the better culture for black people circa 1865 was in canada rather than the usa, canada 1865 isn't the canada of today. Canada in 1865 is very much a country place, hard to live but a place black dosers from the usa could had made a home, yes nothing is easy, but it was the better choice and absent all the things mentioned we were able to be manipulated by black individuals or the white populist to make foolish/dysfunctional choices] So, yes, the Black DOS populace today has definitely grown from the conditions of 1865, look at this very forum. Modern Black people are like Common's character in the movie Alice and Alice in the film Alice is like black people of 1865. They would be shocked at us on alot of levels based on their life experiences. BUT, the way or style of growth of DOSers has a lot of negative aspects that don't come from DOSers but the environment. I argue, that black DOSers lost more than we ever gained from 1865 to today. Rosewood the black financial capitol of florida, white people commited crimes, no one white to jail or a court room, black people in florida have never recovered. Greenwood, the black financial capitol of oklahoma, white people committed crimes, no one white to jail or a court room, black people in oklahoma never recovered. Faubourg treme, an educational capitol of black people in the usa , was assaulted by whites cut up, burned down, never recovered. Madame CJ Walker yes, fiscally wealthy but NYC did everything in its power to diminish black financial growth , including burning harlem, driving black people into prison with made up charges... I think black people today love to look on the bright side but the honest side is the better place. This goes back to frederick douglass side harriet tubman. Douglass felt that going through all these hurdles was a positive and Tubman was correct, lets get away from this place, so we can live in peace. from 1865 to 2026 we as a people have daily, not yearly or monthly but daily had to deal with white abuse, what is so valuable about that? That white abuse... the white men who killed malcolm's father never went to jail, no one knows who they are... going through these white hurdles from 1865 in the usa makes Black DOSers fools. So... yes Black DOSers have come a long way, but was it a wise way, was it an honest way, was it a black way... or was it a liars way, was it a fool's way, was it the white mans chosen way for us? And is the path the white man laid for us better in comparison to a path we laid for ourselves. Many black people will argue that the immigration to the usa is a sign of usa greatness, but I always counter with a simple truth, the usa makes the rest of the world poor. The usa had stolen/kidnapped/murdered many leaders of haiti from toussaint louverture to a recent president, acts that the usa would call an act of war but somehow when the usa does it, it isn't an act of war... stole haiti's gold which again, the usa would call an act of war but... the hit list of countries the usa has done similar too: killed/stole/destroyed is very long Mexico/Nicaragua/China/Japan/Vietnam/Korea/Afghanistan/Libya/Iraq/Iran/Congo/Germany/Argentina/Brasil/Chile/Phillipines/Cuba/The palestinean protectorate of the british empire/Uganda/Ghana/Canada Building from the ground up is easy when you have land you can steal like First peoples of the american continet, when you have enslaved other human beings, like Black DOSer forebears... when you have the country who destroyed yours completely, provide the rich people who led the wars against said country so that you and the rest of the poor don't oppose said country, like Germany/Japan/France/Italy.....I can't think of any government in modern human history that actually built from the ground up and became a world leader or fiscally potent. USA had stolen land and enslaved labor, the best of everything to grow. China got the entire global manufacturing industry as a gift by the usa to separate them from russia in the cold war Russia as the Union of Soviet Socialist republics used the end of the second european imperial war to grow their influence and control, the usa had aided them at he begining of said war cause the usa couldn't beat germany+ japan alone. And the USSR was trying to reclaim the lands of the russian empire which were larger. Japan made to rubble by the usa was given a legendary welfare check by the usa so they wouldn't join the ussr. Germany,made to rubble by the usa completely, in its west side, was given a legendary welfare check by the usa so they wouldn't join the ussr. France made to rubble by war, all sides, was given a legendary welfare check by the usa so they wouldn't join the ussr. India was given money by the usa + ussr to picka side , in the end, india didn't pick either and still hasn't, and still does business with both. thus india didn't get what china got from the usa for distancing from russia but still gets some with russia+ china as neighbors and the usa afraid of having three public opponents of the usa representing half of humanities populace together as neighbors. Brasil like the usa had stolen land + enslaved labor, the best of everything to grow and did all the immigration patterns of the usa as well. England... do I have to say this was the country that once boasted the sun never set on its empire, extracting all sorts of wealth from everywhere. ISrael, stole the land from england lived in by the palestinean, the palestinean protectore, but were financed militarilly and governmentally by the usa in perpetuity. Not one government mentioned above built from the ground up on their own, with no massive criminal activity. So, yeah , Nigeria/Haiti/Jamaica/Guyana/Ghana/Ethiopia/ Sri lanka/ Madagascar many countries full of black people immigrate to the usa but the usa has committed successful acts of war against those countries... What would the usa be if its leaders were constantly removed/killed, it resources constantly ripped, if other countries were vulturing. So Black DOSers whose forebears were literally enslaved to the whites of the european colonies and then the usa made from them, are living in the country as allies to the whites who have literally undermined every single black country in humanity... So... I don't know. I think hundreds of years from now, someone will be able to look back and truly compare black populaces around the world and see who has grown more or less. But currently, Brasil/USA/South Africa/India/Nigeria all have black one percents, very wealthy, all have a majority fiscally poor black 99%. All have been enslaved in one form or another to whites in said country. The only variance I can think of is that in the USA's/Brasil's/India's of the world , unlike the Nigeria's/HAiti's/South Africa's the black populaces have hurt themselves to settle non blacks in usa/brasil/india are all the same, have been terrible to black people but blacks in each country has made a choice to coexist to whites who to be blunt, have never stopped terrorizing them... who is the fool, the terrorist or the one who keeps living next to the terrorist? I concur, it is a financial accomplishment, For the record I never said he didn't accomplish, i stated to whom he sold his prior stuido yeah me too, could had been way better... what would greenville in tulsa be, rosewood in florida be, and so many other places if white people didn't burn whole black communities down to the ground and kill black people who had committed no crime whatsoever. Black people are always free to let the revenge go... BUT financially, the past can not be let go because financially, the past matters. When whites like the nypd round up black people inequally per the law, that is a financial attack on the black populace. Let's be blunt, a show once existed about a white woman selling marijuana in some town outside a city, commonly called a suburb , more correctly an exourb. it is n't under but outside.. Anyway, while in nyc the nypd is rounding up marijuana dealers while never seeming able to find cocaine dealers, the nypd finds cocaine but no cocaine dealers. These are financial attacks. Black people talk about money so much but don't calculate the financial loss/hit/negative black people go through with white interactions. When white states in the south placed trash bin areas next to black towns making black people sick with its fumes, that is a financial cost. Not just healthcost. I am happy for black folk who financially get through white terror, but white terror is still here and it has a huge financial cost that we blacks need to start admitting. -
I was referring to the Evangelical Nationalists not being a threat to harm Black folks through violence. However, you are right about being strange bedfellows with Black folks who are in alignment with some of their ideologies. That's how Jim Jones was able to mislead & massacre so many Black folks in Jonestown back in 1978.

No surprise that clebrity gossip has always pushed the Willie Lynch narrative & colorism. Over time, there have been moments where Hollywood showed dark-skinned actors & actresses. As mentioned in another thread, Hip-Hop music brought a lot of dark-skinned entertainers to the forefront. Examples of Hollywood Black couples: Owning media outlets is one way of promoting the images that reflect Black people across the spectrum. Producing content that features Black folks in healthy, functional situations is another way of reversing the colorism narrative & other stereotypes. Black folks cannot merely complain about how we are being mistreated &/or portrayed. We have to rewrite the narratives.

Don't I know it. That European indoctrination is heavy. Re-educating my African family members over the years has been a combination of pity, frustration & enlightenment. Thankfully, they *know* better but that tribalism & indoctrination still weighs heavy on their minds. The younger folks stand a better chance of *getting it* especially if their parents don't compromise them. As I mentioned, it's going to take some work building those alliances across the Black diaspora.

Iran Under Attack from US & Israel Again
frankster replied to ProfD's topic in Culture, Race & Economy
We Know the beast best.... I have found that most Africans from Africa do not even know that Europeans are often the source of their problems... Instead they focus on their own or neighboring peoples as the source. this is based on anecdotal conversation with them on African websites and on the streets..... Travel is education for many of them...... though they tend to at first loudly and sometimes almost violently resist the idea - That europeans are often not a source of help. True True... Some Ancient Scripture points to the idea be it fact or not that we have survive a nuclear holocaust 7 times before.... Agreed True According to Western Man you are right...... -
To those of you who disagree with my stance on how to reverse the colorism in our community..... Please show me a few RECENT (within the past 20 years) examples DARK SKINNED Black couples being promoted in the media. Light skin is OBVIOUSLY being promoted as attractive and love interests in the media, so show me examples of how DARK skin is!

These 2 articles came into my feed nearly back to back this morning. Boris Kodjoe Told “Soul Food” Costar Nicole Ari Parker She Was Going Be His Wife While She Was Engaged to Someone Else Boris Kodjoe Told “Soul Food” Costar Nicole Ari Parker She Was Going Be His Wife While She Was Engaged to Someone Else Solange's son, 21, sparks dating rumors with reality star Tommie Lee, 41 Solange's son, 21, sparks dating rumors with reality star Tommie Lee, 41 Light skinned couples calling themselves or being called "Black"....hooking up with eachother and the media promoting it big time. I didn't research and I don't follow any of the actors or actresses in these articles so they're obviously being promoted to the Black audience and general audience as more celebrity gossip. But mixed up in this entertainment gossip is the poisons of racism and colorism by promoting light skinned "Blacks" as the representatives of the community and suggesting that these are the "ideal" hook ups. Also, it subconsciously promotes the idea that the "Black children" that result from such hook-ups would be the "ideal" or "designer" children in our community. Infact, the light skinned children of Kanye West and Jay Z and how they're being promoted are yet another example of how light skinned individuals are being promoted as the ideal representatives of our community. At the rate things are going with lighter and lighter skinned people being promoted as "Black"....who's to say that a couple of generations from now ACTUAL WHITE people will not only be accepted as but even promoted as the ideal "Black" people?

FBA/AfroAmericans have come a long way between slavery & the present. Especially compared to Black folks who have lived in their own countries over the same period of time. The fact that Tyler Perry who wasn't born wealthy has been able to amass a fortune significant enough to buy studios is an accomplishment. I'm glad so many FBA/AfroAmericans who were not born wealthy have been able to make a lot of money here in the USA. -

richardmurray replied to Pioneer1's topic in Culture, Race & Economy
@ProfD I have never underestimated, you said and I quote you used the word IF right, that means you don't know or are unsure... that isn't me underestimating and I think anyone would evenly ask, why didn't you know. I didn't refute that point, which also was pioneer's point, but I cleared up the falsities that either one of you alluded. There's nothing, that isn't true. Most black people in the usa are still near the financial level their enslaved forebears were, which is by design by whites, not an accident by white planning and an honest financial position not an excuse. White people didn't get rich absent criminal activities, so it is a financial insult to suggest black people can blossom in majority with less opportunity and yes, taking land and enslaving other and cheating others are financial opportunities that matter. Fiscal poverty is powerful. What does desire have to do with anything? I go back to James Forten, again, black man, living at the time of george washington, business owner. Yes, Profd, business owner, white people certified. But, the larger black populace, has always been a different financia reality than the blacks with money. And as this community has already made established, blacks with money couldn't even push to make sure they only sent people to historical black colleges so... are blacks with money not investing in the black populace to their utmost? yes. But, the gap between the black 1% and the black 99% has always been the widest fiscal gap of any populace in the usa. to restate, the gap between the nonblack 1%(whether female/latino/christian / other) and the non black 99% is smaller than the gap between the black 1% and the black 99%. yes and he sold his prior studio to a white latino. I am glad, in my own mind, I am not trying to bring down any black person's hope BUT when it comes to money , when it comes to the USA , the reality is, we blacks have a lying problem. this very post started with a false financial evaluation pioneer, which you didn't even point out. Are black people in the usa today, circa 2026, financially better than anytime in the past, on average or the whole? the answer is yes. But, black people have always been limited to legal civil financial growth by the non blacks. Again NYC, irish/italians/white jews/chinese/white latinos all to this day each not only commit more financial crimes than black people but have protection from law enforcement for said crimes. Black people are the penultimate, nearest above the least, criminal plus least illegal actors in the usa, the first is the native american whose financial position is the worst of any group in the usa. White jews and italians burned down the entire bronx, to get insurance money and yet, to this day, you still have black people talking about how, black people can't Where was the cops while the bronx was burning? oh right, the cops are the cousins to the italian and white jewish landowners. the biggest financial crime black people had was the numbers and we had to give the italian mob a cut of that. the italian mob which financed the golden gate bridge, through the bank of america, formerly the bank of italy, was able to earn financial fortunes over crimes covering the entire shipping industry/construction industry/gambling industry... the irish/ the white jews/the white latino/ the white asian ala chinese all did and do likewise. I never see the NYPD who always seem interested in hording around congregations of unarmed black children find their way to stopping any crimes from the non black so... that is how nonblack populaces financially grow. They don't admit it. But it is the truth, it is the truth to how the usa works. Black people will never get law enforcement in the usa which is not black and moreover has tons of self hating blacks in it in modernity , to cover for any financial crimes. That cover is how others have afforded the ability to truly grow financially. no profd, in the usa , white development in any industry has always been a matter of financial growth through criminal means. White people didnt just desire and will, they were allowed to act criminally, which is a big deal in a country that purports to be against illegal activity. Black people can't will or desire through phenotypical bias. That is the point of phenotypical bias. -
Netflix: The New Segregation In Entertainment?
ProfD replied to Pioneer1's topic in Culture, Race & Economy
Never underestimate what I know. The point I was making is that Black folks do have outlets &/or some level of influence over them. There's nothing to prevent Black folks from investing in more platforms if there is a real desire to do so. TV One is but one an example. Tyler Perry owns a whole movie production set-up in Georgia. I'm never going to be defeated into believing Black folks cannot afford to establish anything of benefit &/or importance to us. Black development in any industry is a matter of desire & will. The resources exist. -
FBA/AfroAmericans cannot undo the oppression in their own homeland. Tall order taking up the charge to help other countries. No denying that white folks believe in war & violence as a resort to solving problems. My point was that white folks aren't going to self-implode without taking other people with them either directly or in directly as collateral damage. That's why they have developed nuclear weapons. Right. Humans can only destroy themselves but not the planet. The Earth has been around for 5 billion years & is on schedule to be around another 5 billion years. Human existence doesn't even amount for a fraction of that time. We are a blip on this rock in the grand scheme of things.

One answer is that we African Americans do not have any ties to our ethnic and tribal origins....so we are no saddle with past ethnic and current tribal animosities and rivalries. We are not.....until we take up the challenge to be I would not put all my hope in that....but there is precedent European Culture is a War Culture....that is how the get down True..... My personal opinion Humanity can survive a nuclear holocaust and its winter.....How they will and be - I do not know They can do sever damage ..even destroy Civilization as we know it. But I do not think they can destroy the planet or make it uninhabitable. As you should... -

THIS IS MY INITIAL REACTION TO A MULTILOG @Pioneer1 First to delete false claims. Television + Univision are not latin american owned, in the same BET which is owned by Skydance is not Black american owned. I could ask why a black person in modern times, seeks to create a false impotency in speaking on the black populace in the usa compared to other non white european populaces. but i will not. The USA is white european owned circa ninety percent. In February 2020, Searchlight Capital Partners and ForgeLight acquired a 64% majority stake in Univision, with Televisa keeping their 36% minority stake. Searchlight was founded by Eric Zinterhofer , Oliver Haarmann , Erol Uzumeri Forgelight I don't know who they are, but they do not sound latin american. NBCUniversal owns Telemundo completely, NBCUniversal is not latino. So your decision to knock down the black populace using another non white european populace is false. @ProfD OWN , the oprah winfrey network is not black owned. Warner Bros. Discovery Global Linear Networks (95%) Harpo Productions (5%) Skydance owns Warner Bros. , Skydance is not black. Oprah WInfrey owns five percent of the OWN Network. Bounce TV is owned by the Scripps Network, Scripps is white. Jonathan KAtz founded Bounce, he is white. I knew Magic Johnson didn't own magic johnson theaters anymore, why didn't you profd? While the chain still bears Johnson's name, he is no longer actively involved in the management committee, strategic planning, operations, or public relations. It is part of the Lows cineplex entertainment company. Now TVOne is black owned, from a black woman in the washington DC area I think. Originally launched as a joint venture with Comcast, Urban One would acquire the former's stake in 2015. So it started as a joint venture like OWN but is completely black owned now. SO, of the media enterprises mentioned in this post only one is black owned. only one is not white european owned. Now, can TV One do better? all firms can, from a raw accounting perspective. But, TV One is doing great in my view. Considering the entertainment industry in the USA is very conglomerated now. The existence of TV One is really against the grain. That is why magic johnson , oprah and others all sold their shares to big firms gobbling. As I said, Netflix was given a favor by Skydance, who now owns paramount + warner bros + discovery and whatever else those firms gobbled before. NEtflix wanted globally known intellectual properties, but I argue adding all that debt would had been a mistake and skydance will have a lot of internal manipulation with all they own now. @admin so many people are tired of commercials, but here is the big problem, subscription is a terrible business model for publicly traded entertainment firms. the problem with subscription as nassr al khaleefi, ceo of beinsports said, I paraphrase, the only way to make continual monetary growth is to add on subscribers but the global economy has a limit on how much growth can exist in that way, while a free app with commercials, the same like network television but with apps, can grow continually because with quality content you can raise the advertising fees overtime. But trying to do both is going to lose out over time, no one wants to pay for a service with commercials.

COMMENTARY @Pioneer1 I comprehend your frustration, like james Forten 250 years ago, you have embraced the usa and both of you show a desire to compete side the other people in the usa financially, while in the legal confines.

Especially compared to Black folks who have lived in their own countries over the same period of time. That is a large suggestion... I don't know... 100% your correct that the condition of 99% of black people in the usa 1865 who were completely enslaved, which means financially whites made sure said black percentage had, no money, no bank account, no inheritance, no knowledge of fiscal concerns like a contract or ledger ; educationally means [not through laziness but white power], no ability to read, no ability to write, no knowledge of their forebears, no knowledge of their populaces intricacies[enslaved black people were born enslaved, they didn't know about haiti a land made by DOSers, abyssinia the only part of africa not a european colony, the larger DOS populaces in south america, knowledge of monrovia or freetown, in modernity yes, a black person can say what we know but 1865 most black people in the usa didn't have any knowledge of black people outside of their slave quarter, they didn't know of the gens de colour of new orleans unless they were actually from new orleans which wasn't most black people by a large distance in the usa] ; Culturally, what we grow or are growing to, means [ through white power again]: no direction[and this is huge, again in modernity black people talk about american alot, but in 1865 our forebears weren't american. they wanted to be free yes, but they didn't associate freedom with the usa. this is something we tend to miss today. Our forebears in 1865 didn't want to be president, didn't want fight with whites, didn't want to live with whites, so the fact that a majority of us in the usa do now, means black people made choices BUT they made choices absent all the things in this paragraph i wrote, which are influential. Hell, I argue, most black people at the end of the war between the states, when the usa's modern midwestern/western states were all still territories should had moved en mass to canada. And I know that Frederick Douglass opposed Harriet Tubman because tubman wanted black people to go all the way up north to canada but frederick douglass, very statian, was looking to his individual benefit and knew that whites in the usa have always disliked the idea of Black DOSers leaving this country with hateful hearts in mass for obvious reasons. But Tubman was correct, the better culture for black people circa 1865 was in canada rather than the usa, canada 1865 isn't the canada of today. Canada in 1865 is very much a country place, hard to live but a place black dosers from the usa could had made a home, yes nothing is easy, but it was the better choice and absent all the things mentioned we were able to be manipulated by black individuals or the white populist to make foolish/dysfunctional choices] So, yes, the Black DOS populace today has definitely grown from the conditions of 1865, look at this very forum. Modern Black people are like Common's character in the movie Alice and Alice in the film Alice is like black people of 1865. They would be shocked at us on alot of levels based on their life experiences. BUT, the way or style of growth of DOSers has a lot of negative aspects that don't come from DOSers but the environment. I argue, that black DOSers lost more than we ever gained from 1865 to today. Rosewood the black financial capitol of florida, white people commited crimes, no one white to jail or a court room, black people in florida have never recovered. Greenwood, the black financial capitol of oklahoma, white people committed crimes, no one white to jail or a court room, black people in oklahoma never recovered. Faubourg treme, an educational capitol of black people in the usa , was assaulted by whites cut up, burned down, never recovered. Madame CJ Walker yes, fiscally wealthy but NYC did everything in its power to diminish black financial growth , including burning harlem, driving black people into prison with made up charges... I think black people today love to look on the bright side but the honest side is the better place. This goes back to frederick douglass side harriet tubman. Douglass felt that going through all these hurdles was a positive and Tubman was correct, lets get away from this place, so we can live in peace. from 1865 to 2026 we as a people have daily, not yearly or monthly but daily had to deal with white abuse, what is so valuable about that? That white abuse... the white men who killed malcolm's father never went to jail, no one knows who they are... going through these white hurdles from 1865 in the usa makes Black DOSers fools. So... yes Black DOSers have come a long way, but was it a wise way, was it an honest way, was it a black way... or was it a liars way, was it a fool's way, was it the white mans chosen way for us? And is the path the white man laid for us better in comparison to a path we laid for ourselves. Many black people will argue that the immigration to the usa is a sign of usa greatness, but I always counter with a simple truth, the usa makes the rest of the world poor. The usa had stolen/kidnapped/murdered many leaders of haiti from toussaint louverture to a recent president, acts that the usa would call an act of war but somehow when the usa does it, it isn't an act of war... stole haiti's gold which again, the usa would call an act of war but... the hit list of countries the usa has done similar too: killed/stole/destroyed is very long Mexico/Nicaragua/China/Japan/Vietnam/Korea/Afghanistan/Libya/Iraq/Iran/Congo/Germany/Argentina/Brasil/Chile/Phillipines/Cuba/The palestinean protectorate of the british empire/Uganda/Ghana/Canada Building from the ground up is easy when you have land you can steal like First peoples of the american continet, when you have enslaved other human beings, like Black DOSer forebears... when you have the country who destroyed yours completely, provide the rich people who led the wars against said country so that you and the rest of the poor don't oppose said country, like Germany/Japan/France/Italy.....I can't think of any government in modern human history that actually built from the ground up and became a world leader or fiscally potent. USA had stolen land and enslaved labor, the best of everything to grow. China got the entire global manufacturing industry as a gift by the usa to separate them from russia in the cold war Russia as the Union of Soviet Socialist republics used the end of the second european imperial war to grow their influence and control, the usa had aided them at he begining of said war cause the usa couldn't beat germany+ japan alone. And the USSR was trying to reclaim the lands of the russian empire which were larger. Japan made to rubble by the usa was given a legendary welfare check by the usa so they wouldn't join the ussr. Germany,made to rubble by the usa completely, in its west side, was given a legendary welfare check by the usa so they wouldn't join the ussr. France made to rubble by war, all sides, was given a legendary welfare check by the usa so they wouldn't join the ussr. India was given money by the usa + ussr to picka side , in the end, india didn't pick either and still hasn't, and still does business with both. thus india didn't get what china got from the usa for distancing from russia but still gets some with russia+ china as neighbors and the usa afraid of having three public opponents of the usa representing half of humanities populace together as neighbors. Brasil like the usa had stolen land + enslaved labor, the best of everything to grow and did all the immigration patterns of the usa as well. England... do I have to say this was the country that once boasted the sun never set on its empire, extracting all sorts of wealth from everywhere. ISrael, stole the land from england lived in by the palestinean, the palestinean protectore, but were financed militarilly and governmentally by the usa in perpetuity. Not one government mentioned above built from the ground up on their own, with no massive criminal activity. So, yeah , Nigeria/Haiti/Jamaica/Guyana/Ghana/Ethiopia/ Sri lanka/ Madagascar many countries full of black people immigrate to the usa but the usa has committed successful acts of war against those countries... What would the usa be if its leaders were constantly removed/killed, it resources constantly ripped, if other countries were vulturing. So Black DOSers whose forebears were literally enslaved to the whites of the european colonies and then the usa made from them, are living in the country as allies to the whites who have literally undermined every single black country in humanity... So... I don't know. I think hundreds of years from now, someone will be able to look back and truly compare black populaces around the world and see who has grown more or less. But currently, Brasil/USA/South Africa/India/Nigeria all have black one percents, very wealthy, all have a majority fiscally poor black 99%. All have been enslaved in one form or another to whites in said country. The only variance I can think of is that in the USA's/Brasil's/India's of the world , unlike the Nigeria's/HAiti's/South Africa's the black populaces have hurt themselves to settle non blacks in usa/brasil/india are all the same, have been terrible to black people but blacks in each country has made a choice to coexist to whites who to be blunt, have never stopped terrorizing them... who is the fool, the terrorist or the one who keeps living next to the terrorist? 16 hours ago, ProfD said: The fact that Tyler Perry who wasn't born wealthy has been able to amass a fortune significant enough to buy studios is an accomplishment. I concur, it is a financial accomplishment, For the record I never said he didn't accomplish, i stated to whom he sold his prior stuido 16 hours ago, ProfD said: I'm glad so many FBA/AfroAmericans who were not born wealthy have been able to make a lot of money here in the USA. yeah me too, could had been way better... what would greenville in tulsa be, rosewood in florida be, and so many other places if white people didn't burn whole black communities down to the ground and kill black people who had committed no crime whatsoever. Black people are always free to let the revenge go... BUT financially, the past can not be let go because financially, the past matters. When whites like the nypd round up black people inequally per the law, that is a financial attack on the black populace. Let's be blunt, a show once existed about a white woman selling marijuana in some town outside a city, commonly called a suburb , more correctly an exourb. it is n't under but outside.. Anyway, while in nyc the nypd is rounding up marijuana dealers while never seeming able to find cocaine dealers, the nypd finds cocaine but no cocaine dealers. These are financial attacks. Black people talk about money so much but don't calculate the financial loss/hit/negative black people go through with white interactions. When white states in the south placed trash bin areas next to black towns making black people sick with its fumes, that is a financial cost. Not just healthcost. I am happy for black folk who financially get through white terror, but white terror is still here and it has a huge financial cost that we blacks need to start admitting.
