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 i mpotency in speaking on the black populace in the usa compared to other no n white european populaces. but i will not. The USA is white european owne d circa ninety percent.  In February 2020\, Searchlight Capital Partne rs and ForgeLight acquired a 64% majority stake in Univision\, with Telev isa keeping their 36% minority stake.Searchlight was founded by Eric Zinte rhofer \, Oliver Haarmann \, Erol Uzumeri Forgelight I don't know who t hey 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. @P rofD OWN \, the oprah winfrey network is not black owned. Warner Bros. D iscovery Global Linear Networks (95%)\nHarpo Productions (5%)Skydance ow ns Warner Bros. \, Skydance is not black. Oprah WInfrey owns five percent of the OWN Network. Bounce TV is owned by the Scripps Network\, Scripps i s white. Jonathan KAtz founded Bounce\, he is white.  I knew Magic Johns on didn't own magic johnson theaters anymore\, why didn't you profd? Whil e 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 T VOne 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 ac quire the former's stake in 2015. So it started as a joint venture like OW N but is completely black owned now.  SO\, of the media enterprises ment ioned 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 accounti ng perspective. But\, TV One is doing great in my view. Considering the en tertainment industry in the USA is very conglomerated now. The existence o f TV One is really against the grain. That is why magic johnson \, oprah a nd others all sold their shares to big firms gobbling. As I said\, Netfli x was given a favor by Skydance\, who now owns paramount + warner bros + d iscovery and whatever else those firms gobbled before. NEtflix wanted glo bally known intellectual properties\, but I argue adding all that debt wou ld had been a mistake and skydance will have a lot of internal manipulatio n with all they own now.  @admin so many people are tired of commercial s\, but here is the big problem\, subscription is a terrible business mode l for publicly traded entertainment firms. the problem with subscription a s nassr al khaleefi\, ceo of beinsports said\, I paraphrase\, the only way to make continual monetary growth  is to add on subscribers but the glob al 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 adv ertising fees overtime. But trying to do both is going to lose out over ti me\, no one wants to pay for a service with commercials.  REFERRALhttps: //aalbc.com/tc/topic/12614-netflix-the-new-segregation-in-entertainment/#f indComment-80870 POST URL PRIOR EDITIONhttps://aalbc.com/tc/events/event /676-economic-corner-38-03102026/ NEXT EDITIONhttps://aalbc.com/tc/events /event/735-economic-corner-40-05162026/ COMMENTARY@Pioneer1 I comprehend your frustration\, like james Forten 250 years ago\, you have embraced th e usa and both of you show a desire to compete side the other people in th e usa financially\, while in the legal confines. Thus your desire to sugge st impotency \, not to stymie but to inspire through negative critique. I get it. but be easy. patience is a virtue.  03242026 https://aalbc.com/ tc/topic/12614-netflix-the-new-segregation-in-entertainment/#findComment-8 0874osted just now@ProfD I have never underestimated\, you said and I qu ote   On 3/23/2026 at 6:02 AM\, ProfD said:if Magic Johnson is still in that business. 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 ev enly ask\, why didn't you know.    1 hour ago\, ProfD said:The point I was making is that Black folks do have outlets &\;/or some level of influence over them. I didn't refute that point\, which also was pioneer' s point\, but I cleared up the falsities that either one of you alluded.    1 hour ago\, ProfD said:There's nothing to prevent Black folks fro m investing in more platforms if there is a real desire to do so. There's nothing\, that isn't true. Most black people in the usa are still near th e financial level their enslaved forebears were\, which is by design by wh ites\, not an accident by white planning and an honest financial position not an excuse. White people didn't get rich absent criminal activities\, s o it is a financial insult to suggest black people can blossom in majority with less opportunity and yes\, taking land and enslaving other and cheat ing others are financial opportunities that matter. Fiscal poverty is pow erful. What does desire have to do with anything? I go back to James Fort en\, again\, black man\, living at the time of george washington\, busines s 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 i n the black populace to their utmost? yes. But\, the gap between the blac k 1% and the black 99% has always been the widest fiscal gap of any popula ce in the usa. to restate\, the gap between the nonblack 1%(whether femal e/latino/christian / other) and the non black 99% is smaller than the gap between the black 1% and the black 99%.   1 hour ago\, ProfD said:TV One is but one an example. Tyler Perry owns a whole movie production set-u p in Georgia.yes and he sold his prior studio to a white latino.    1 hour ago\, ProfD said:I'm never going to be defeated into believing Blac k folks cannot afford to establish anything of benefit &\;/or importanc e to us. I am glad\, in my own mind\, I am not trying to bring down any b lack 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 o ut. 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. B ut\, black people have always been limited to legal civil financial growth by the non blacks. Again NYC\, irish/italians/white jews/chinese/white la tinos all to this day each not only commit more financial crimes  than bl ack people but have protection from law enforcement for said crimes.  Bla ck people are the penultimate\, nearest above the least\,  criminal plus least illegal actors in the usa\, the first is the native american whose f inancial position is the worst of any group in the usa. White jews and it alians burned down the entire bronx\, to get insurance money and yet\, to this day\, you still have black people talking about how\, black people ca n'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 f inancial crime black people had was the numbers and we had to give the ita lian mob a cut of that. the italian mob which financed the golden gate br idge\, through the bank of america\, formerly the bank of italy\, was able to earn financial fortunes over crimes covering the entire shipping indus try/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 congre gations of unarmed black children find their way to stopping any crimes fr om the non black so... that is how nonblack populaces financially grow. T hey don't admit it. But it is the truth\, it is the truth to how the usa w orks. 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 \, t o cover for any financial crimes. That cover is how others have afforded t he ability to truly grow financially.   1 hour ago\, ProfD said:Black development in any industry is a  matter of desire &\; will. The reso urces exist.no profd\, in the usa \, white development in any industry has always been a matter of financial growth through criminal means. White pe ople didnt just desire and will\, they were allowed to act criminally\, wh ich is a big deal in a country that purports to be against illegal activit y.  Black people can't will or desire through phenotypical bias. That is the point of phenotypical bias.  03252026https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/126 14-netflix-the-new-segregation-in-entertainment/#findComment-80884osted j ust now@ProfD   16 hours ago\, ProfD said:FBA/AfroAmericans have come a long way between slavery &\; the present. Especially compared to Bla ck folks who have lived in their own countries over the same period of tim e.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 ensl aved\, which means financially whites made sure said black percentage had\ , no money\, no bank account\, no inheritance\, no knowledge of fiscal con cerns like a contract or ledger \; educationally means [not through lazine ss but white power]\, no ability to read\, no ability to write\, no knowle dge of their forebears\, no knowledge of their populaces intricacies[ensla ved 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 free town\, in modernity yes\, a black person can say what we know but 1865 mos t black people in the usa didn't have any knowledge of black people outsid e of their slave quarter\, they didn't know of the gens de colour of new o rleans 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 i n 1865 our forebears weren't american. they wanted to be free yes\, but th ey didn't associate freedom with the usa. this is something we tend to mis s today. Our forebears in 1865 didn't want to be president\, didn't want f ight with whites\, didn't want to live with whites\, so the fact that a ma jority 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 i nfluential. Hell\, I argue\, most black people at the end of the war betwe en the states\, when the usa's modern midwestern/western states were all s till territories should had moved en mass to canada. And I know that Frede rick 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 hav e always disliked the idea of Black DOSers leaving this country with hatef ul 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\, c anada 1865 isn't the canada of today. Canada in 1865 is very much a countr y place\, hard to live but a place black dosers from the usa could had mad e a home\, yes nothing is easy\, but it was the better choice and absent a ll the things mentioned we were able to be manipulated by black individual s 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 char acter 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 neg ative 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. Rosewo od 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 pe ople committed crimes\, no one white to jail or a court room\, black peopl e 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 every thing 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 tubma n. Douglass felt that going through all these hurdles was a positive and T ubman was correct\, lets get away from this place\, so we can live in peac e. 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? Tha t white abuse... the white men who killed malcolm's father never went to j ail\, 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 c ome a long way\, but was it a wise way\, was it an honest way\, was it a b lack 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 i n comparison to a path we laid for ourselves. Many black people will argu e that the immigration to the usa is a sign of usa greatness\, but I alway s 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 toussai nt 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/I raq/Iran/Congo/Germany/Argentina/Brasil/Chile/Phillipines/Cuba/The palesti nean 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\, li ke 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 Ger many/Japan/France/Italy.....I can't think of any government in modern huma n 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 a s a gift by the usa to separate them from russia in the cold warRussia as the Union of Soviet Socialist republics used the end of the second europea n imperial war to grow their influence and control\, the usa had aided the m at he begining of said war cause the usa couldn't beat germany+ japan al one. And the USSR was trying to reclaim the lands of the russian empire wh ich were larger. Japan made to rubble by the usa was given a legendary we lfare check by the usa so they wouldn't join the ussr. Germany\,made to r ubble by the usa completely\,  in its west side\, was given a legendary w elfare check by the usa so they wouldn't join the ussr. France made to ru bble by war\, all sides\, was given a legendary welfare check by the usa s o 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\, an d 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 u sa 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 u p on their own\, with no massive criminal activity.  So\, yeah \, Nigeri a/Haiti/Jamaica/Guyana/Ghana/Ethiopia/ Sri lanka/ Madagascar many countrie s full of black people immigrate to the usa but the usa has committed succ essful 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 wer e literally enslaved to the whites of the european colonies and then the u sa made from them\,  are living in the country as allies to the whites wh o have literally undermined every single black country in humanity...  S o... I don't know. I think hundreds of years from now\, someone will be ab le 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 US A's/Brasil's/India's of the world \, unlike the Nigeria's/HAiti's/South Af rica's the black populaces have hurt themselves to settle non blacks in us a/brasil/india are all the same\, have been terrible to black people but b lacks in each country has made a choice to coexist to whites who to be blu nt\, have never stopped terrorizing them... who is the fool\, the terroris t 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 a ble to amass a fortune significant enough to buy studios is an accomplishm ent. 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 wer e not born wealthy have been able to make a lot of money here in the USA.y eah me too\, could had been way better... what would greenville in tulsa b e\, 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 w ho 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 fi nancially\, the past matters. When whites like the nypd round up black pe ople inequally per the law\, that is a financial attack on the black popul ace. Let's be blunt\, a show once existed about a white woman selling mar ijuana in some town outside a city\, commonly called a suburb \, more corr ectly an exourb. it is n't under but outside.. Anyway\, while in nyc the n ypd is rounding up marijuana dealers while never seeming able to find coca ine dealers\, the nypd finds cocaine but no cocaine dealers.  These are f inancial attacks. Black people talk about money so much but don't calculat e the financial loss/hit/negative black people go through with white inter actions. When white states in the south placed trash bin areas next to bl ack towns making black people sick with its fumes\, that is a financial co st. Not just healthcost. I am happy for black folk who financially get th rough white terror\, but white terror is still here and it has a huge fina ncial cost that we blacks need to start admitting.03/26/2026https://aalbc. com/tc/topic/12614-netflix-the-new-segregation-in-entertainment/#findComme nt-80907osted just now@ProfD   23 hours ago\, ProfD said:FBA/ADO/Afr oAmericans do not have an ancestral homeland to which we can return.  FB A/ADO/AfroAmericans were born here in the USA.  Over 400 years\, FBA/A DO/AfroAmericans have made the *best of* a bad situation\, America's ori ginal 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.Expand  what determi nes an ancestral homeland? I am not saying your wrong\, or I am not sayin g a black person whose forebears were enslaved from africa by whites can't say a locale whites shipped them to can't be considered a homeland if the y choose\, but the choices are still openI give three examples1) all black peoples enslaved from africa whether they went to the american continent or the asian continent or the european continent have one thing in common\ , their african ancestry is continental. I have said in this forum before\ , if anywhere in africa is my hmeland it is the literal continent itself b ecause my forebears who were enslaved come from all over. Often when peopl e immigrate freely\, they may call themselves\, european/asian/african/sou th american\, but in truth they mean a specific local in a continent. righ t? but fr DOSers we have to mean\, by way of how enslavement worked\, the continent of africa itself and considering descended of enslaved people we re sent everywhere outside africa\, not merely the american continent\, a continental ancestry suits all of us whatever countries our forebears were enslaved in.  Black People like you or me exist in brasil in india \, wh at shared history heritage/what we carry do we have? that our forebears we re all enslaved from africa by whites/ various whites. so I think a contin ental ancestry \, not a local in a continent is historically unquestionabl e\, even if it is also unique among human groups. But\, that is fate for y ou2)I do think the seas itself is a valid homeland in its own way. the one thing that unites all descneded of enslaved people from africa is that mo st of our forebears died on the ships to wherever\, again not just the usa but all the places\, so the sea is where most of our forebears... or at l east where most of mine are buried. You have said in the past that because those who died on the boat didn't have issue they are not but I oppose th at view. because many black dos lineages have died through the centuries b ecause of white terror anywhere\, it is uneven to not include all the peop le enslaved on the boat \, some of whom were definitely genetically relate d to those who survived. Again\, not an common place but the DOS experienc e is not common . Yes\, slavery is throughout all human history\, but the mechanics of pan white enslavement to pan blacks in the period of the cont inental slave trades had unique forms. that were never seen before or sinc e. 3) this is two queries to your position.I)I want clarification to wher e you stand to places outside the usa that have black dosers. Brasil has t o be first on the list as no place in the american continent has more blac k DOSers than brasil. Brasil had dosers before the usa\, so what you are s aying is black dosers in brasil's homeland is brasil? what about black dos ers in india\, india had DOSers before Brasil did by white muslims\, so wh at you are saying is black dosers in india's homeland is india? II) conce rning the time\, you mention the centuries black dosers have been in a cou ntry\, in this case usa\,  as  warranting its labeling as a homeland\, b ut is your position that it applies to all DOSers in a particular country whether they view it or not  or is it optional? For me\, and many other d osers\, i want to be the first in my bloodline to choose a homeland\, i th ink that had value. I don't care how long my bloodline has been in the usa \, this for me is not my choice or the choice of my forebears. I think hav ing the choice of making a homeland for yourself is one of the gifts DOS f orebears gave all DOSers \, we don't have to have any allegiance to any of these countries: usa/brasil/india because our forebears never did. It is the freedom to choose. As long as me or any in my bloodline is in the usa\ , it is a continuation of white peoples desires\, not the desires of my ow n people. I can't call my homeland on what whites desired. And no\, I don' t think the fiscal reality or impotency of my forebears in not being able to go wherever they want should be held against them.  So I conclude wit h I think your position is true but as an optional. not a definitive. and that is key.   23 hours ago\, ProfD said:Still\, that should not prev ent people from staying in their home countries &\; rebuilding it.  Gi ving up &\; running to the colonizers house doesn't make sense either.   based on that logic didn't white europeans themselves do that ? it was n't like ireland was rich\, or itlay when the italian hordes came in was r ich. And the english who came were from the poor parts of england\, they w eren't the relatives of the queen fand kings of england. so... outside the native american\, who was murdered by immigrants\, all other peoples in t he usa are immigrants\, but only DOSers are immigrants who were forced her e\, all other immigrants ran from poverty \, did they not? You say giving up and running to the colonizers house but lets be more pure\, giving up a nd running away in general \, does that make sense? cause the original wh ite european immigrants ran away from their poverty in europe and didn't c hoose to make any european country better...The whole usa outside two peop les is built on people who were fiscally poor and ran away from it.   2 3 hours ago\, ProfD said:Where else can or should FBA/ADO/AfroAmericans go to live if the USA is their birthplace? I have said it before\, DOSers anywhere are free to choose. that is the gift\, we are not bound\, until we choose to be and present that truth to the next generation\, each has t o make their choice a heritage\,  And I feel most black DOSers have never done that\, and it isn't up to black dosers to apply our desires to each other\, i argue\, we should honor each other by leaving it open. But\, to DOSers born in the USA\, specifically\, the only place I can think of tha t we all should consider based on heritage\, our history\, is Monrovia\, n ot liberia\, but monrovia.  yes\, black DOSers born in the usa settled in many places outside the usa\, black dosers leave the usa every year\, for many other lands\, to become their homelands\,  even though we don't see m to know that as a people. But\, I think we have a responsibility to Monr ovia \, as it was started by Black DOSers specifically from the USA. Now c an all black dosers born in the usa move to monrovia:) no\, but i do think we owe it to ourselves to do better there in some fashion.   23 hours ago\, ProfD said:IMO\, it does not take that long.  We can see the prog ress or lack thereof around the planet.  We know the reasons for it too .  Those who are willing to go to war\; kill &\; destroy ultimately e njoy the rewards of it.even enough\, for me it isn't about wealth or wars\ , but the condition of freedom. Black groups in every country in humanity have a fiscally wealthy person\, but that isn't enough for me to rank or r elate the various black groups\, the condition of freedom is what i am loo king for and i see little variance in that in any country. I can't think o f any black populace in a country that isn't a wealthy black 1% aside a fi scally poor black 99%\, usa/brasil/india/south africa/jamaica\, what diffe rs the black populaces in any of the countries. in terms of collective fre edom. I say nothing.  but in the future\, will be seen.  23 hours ago\ , ProfD said:There's a difference between bringing a terrorist into one' s country &\; becoming a subject versus being born in the same countr y with the terrorist. I am a little confused by the part\, bringing a te rrorist into one's country \, we are talking about DOSers\, and in india/b rasil/usa and many other countries\, like a jamaica DOSers have been born side the terrorist whites.    23 hours ago\, ProfD said:oney comes & amp\; goes.  Even the most honest\, astute\, savvy\, intelligent investo rs have amassed &\; lost &\; regained fortunes.  Most successful p eople fail a lot before they strike it big. The way one chooses to rebo und from loss or failure makes a difference. Sitting on the bench crying\ , grumbling &\; complaining won't lead to success.Expand  I only have one question\, are black people in general allowed to admit we have been f inancially abused? If I have a house and white terror has taken the house \, in your opinion\, am I allowed to mention it or is mentioning that fina ncial truth crying? If I have a parent sent to jail falsely or unevenly b y whites\, in your opinion\, am I allowed to mention it or is mentioning t hat financial truth grumbling? I do believe in creating\, in nationalism\ , I like doing\, but I like telling the truth and unfortunately\, truths f or black DOSers tend to be negative\, I will apologize for fate\, but that is the truth. Our personal histories tend to face financial obstacles\, w hich I feel need to be said \, I argue we DOSers have spent far too long b eing quiet. Again\, Pioneer talks about the law alot\, but lets call it l ike it is\, the quantity of financial crimes against black people that has gne to court int he usa is less than one percent per year\, that is a lot money taken from us. Maybe you will call that complaining but.. I rather it said than not.   23 hours ago\, ProfD said:Many Black folks have f igured out how to navigate white terror in order to win.  Easy...no.  Do able...absolutely.You are 100% correct\, but the absolute truth requires a n addition \, winning is based on how they define winning and black DOSers don't define winning the same way.

I see\, When you speak about l eaving an under developed home country to struggle in another country\, i think of the conquistador i think of the white european imperial era throu gh france/spain/portugal/netherlands Of the european powers\, the only on e that built countries as you said were the english\, it wasn't really the common way. all the others only wanted to extract resources and leave a s et of mixed breeds to manage things to funnel money into whatever european center country. Spain and france and portugal famously had to pay white w omen to go while the english... was able to et whole communities to go. I n the end of the day\, the english didn't do it for the building of countr ies. The english pushed their colonies to be pan white\, multiwhite\, indi vidualist\, not to become the usa or canada or austrailia one day\, but to be a haven to make money. Remember the english colonies were not profitab le in the international market compared to any of the others. the money in the english colonies was actually in the english colonies spending money.  BEcause the english colonies actually invited hordes of white europeans they were given a financial status\, that the non white european majority populaces in the non english colonies couldn't get\, so the first industry of the usa was as a market place\, not because it was special but because it became the first true white european country outsdie europe. Essentail ly english goods had a controlled marketplace for tea/furniture and other english content. That was the financial purpose of the usa. its external t raffic was not its main finanial agenda. for england.   5 hours ago\,  ProfD said:What is preventing Black folks from either building up their h ome countries &\;/or taking over other lands?well first\, for DOSers if you don't view a country as your home country then their is nothing to bu ild up. Again some blacks liek james forten\, start business fight and die \, having chose the usa as ther home but then they ask questions like you to other black people who havent decided the usa is their home. You use the word prevention but you have to first view the usa as your home\, bras il as you rhome\, india as your home... before you can act like it is . B lack pople are descended of enslaved folk\, i argue in our heart\, we aren 't interested in being black versions of white europeans.  yes\, cases ex ist but on average\, we have a vengeanful desire but not a enslavement des ire.  5 hours ago\, ProfD said:Jamaica was Black before white folks sh owed up &\; colonized it. yes the caribs are black native americans\, like the negrito black asians.  5 hours ago\, ProfD said:What are Blac k folks willing to do these things other than cry\, grumble &\; complai n? As a very young person\, I was taught that as a male being weak (cr y\, grumble\, complain\, lack of self-defense\, etc.) doesn't solve anythi ng.  Being able to take action &\; handle bizness is everything.  I t works.Non verbal action always speaks louder than words. But I get the l ogic\, if you focus on building no matter how many times another burns you r house down\, you may never realize that you need to stop building where you are cause the place you are is crap.   5 hours ago\, ProfD said:N o need to go into a history lesson.  We know what produces winners &\; losers.  The question is what is one willing to do in order to *win* . no the first question s what is the definition of winning because the d efinition of winning dictates what is needed to win\, and not all definiti ons of winning are the same\, especially for DOSer.  One black person can say they have won and mean nothing to another black person cause they don t share the same meaning of winning.   5 hours ago\, ProfD said:This Black man was a drug addict &\; homeless at one point in his life.  He 's rich now.  Anything is possible.I didn't question possibility\, i said the pwoer of will and desire\, this one instance doesnt prove will and de sire\, it proves circumstance\, @Pioneer1  18 minutes ago\, Pioneer1  said:Do you suggest that we compete with others\, illegally?I suggest we\, meaning black people anywhere on earth\, each discover or learn who we ar e as individuals and who we want to be as part of black groups and then re late that to wherever we live. Yes\, it isn't as simple as all others in h umanity\, but it gives us a freedom of identity.  Black DOSers who embra ce the usa as their home. need to accept the truth of fiscal capitalism wh en it comes to legal or illegal financial activity. The great fort nes in fiscal capitalism come in majority through criminal activity.whether that criminal activity is legally noted or not.   Second to comprehend the f inancial limits of being in a multiracial scoiety where all races are free to grow\, it means financial control over others is always going to be li mited long term 03272026https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/12614-netflix-the-new- segregation-in-entertainment/#findComment-80941osted just now@ProfD    27 minutes ago\, ProfD said:I'm sure you can see the difference between leaving one's home country &\; squatting in another country\; to produc e nothing &\; make zero contribution to it.  What is the accomplishmen t?I remember listening to an immigrant to the usa\, who is homeless\, a me xican or mesitzo from somewhere in latin america. He flat out said\, his g oal was to get in the usa... so for many immigrants\, not all\, but many t hey win by merely being in the usa\, as the accomplishment\, even if they are only squatting. And that is their choice but there you have it\, to an swer the question of accomplishment. This is why comparing wins is hard\, because one person's win is not another person's win.   27 minutes ag o\, ProfD said:Right. Those individuals need to find a country that will accept them &\; to which they can relocate to produce &\; contribut e to building &\; making it better. Yes... with the addition that agai n\, some people leave with no need to make the destination country better\ , as muc has the destination country has what they are looking for. When y ou look at israel\, many jews go to israel to simply be among jews\, it is not to be rich or produce as you say or \"make it better\" as much as the environment is satisfactory for them\, the win is the move \, but moving takes time\, it isn't magic. And you can't force it through hard work. my forebears worked very hard and often got nothing of what they wanted becau se hard work still requires opportunity and if you don't opportunity\, you don't. and without violence\, peace blockades some forms of opportunity.    27 minutes ago\, ProfD said:There's no shortage of successful Blac k people who have overcome seemingly insurmountable hurdles in order to * win*. yes with the addition that the quantity of black people getting wha t they want\, I will call that successful\, is far less based on non black potency because blacks are abused at no fault of their own by whites. Whe n competition isn't even\, when it has criminal actions that is highly man ipulative\, especially in the financial realm. I know you see the USA as a place that allows any individual to succeed but I don't think that is fi nancially true. To rephrase\, negative unmerited blockades or abuses are a pplied to people in the usa which means individuals don't have the ability to succeed. Athletes are the best examples. A black baseball played \, pl aying today admitted in the players journal\, if it wasn't for my communit y in some area of florida\, placing themselves in debt he wouldn't had mad e it as a baseball player. That is not an environment for all to succeed\, that is called an environment of failure.   27 minutes ago\, ProfD s aid:Not sure what that has to do with putting in the effort to *win*.  I t has been done several times over already past to present.and this is the key variance\, in your mind\, effort overcomes environment. The numbers s how\, effort never overcomes environment. A negative financial environment   defined as an environment designed to hinder financial positive movemen t\, succeeds in majority in the usa historically\, all phenotypes. IT isn' t that effort overcame environment as much as environment\, which in the f inancial sense is a human construct can not be designed perfectly/a comple te work\, and the environment ALLOWS a percentage of those in it to succee d which happens. You and others think it is effort overcoming the negativi ties of the environment when in truth it is the system merely allowing suc cess for a minority.

I argue the definition to wins or accomplishments ch anges twixt individuals or groups and so it is challenging to apply standa rds of wins/accomplishment between individuals or groups. and to the poin t you raised\, not all white folks are trying to kick them out... this goe s back to Monrovia ... many whites did support blacks leaving but most sup ported blacks staying in the usa in perpetuity as enslaved\, so much so ma king the happy slave myth to make themselves feel better  44 minutes ago \, ProfD said:Seems selfish to go somewhere else &\; offer nothing.   In the same way that you do not like liars\, I'm not fond of *take rs* i.e. people who do not add &\;/or offer nothing to the situation & amp\;/or environment.even point. I comprehend your viewpoint 100% the prob lem for the usa is it was founded by takers\, if you consider the native a merican heritages and cultures\, the usa was founded by takers\, who addin g nothing positive to what was in existence.. so the usa has a heritage of willing immigrants mostly adding nothing except negativities\, with only a minority adding positives to the current situation. Chaos starters    44 minutes ago\, ProfD said:I doubt those people merely show up to drain the resources &\; live off the sweat equity of others. if you look at the settlers in palestinean lands\, that is all they do... they don't gro w anything\, they definitely don't add to peace so... When israel first s tarted it had a huge zionist movement\, but I argue\, that the majority of white jews or even jews in humanity where anti zionist from a personal le vel\, meaning they support the existence of israel but never want to live there. I shared in this forum somewhere the reform jewish numbers. most je ws are not orthodox are not looking to go to israel. but many give money/ support to keep it afloat. so... the people who tend to go there ... are a rarer type. Israel has many issues but again\, it was started chaoticall y\, so I don't see why it having  a chaotic life isn't expected.   44 minutes ago\, ProfD said:Anything can be accomplished through desire &am p\; will &\; effort. nature says nothing is ever totally true  44 mi nutes ago\, ProfD said:Clearly\, we live in different parts of the USA.  true and to that end\, that is also the problem \, the usa isn't a small town\, it is a country of three hundred and fifty million people who are in dissimilar environments. A solid thirty percent of black people in the usa and I argue fifty percent of Black DOSers live in small black towns w here their financial life is very challenging from non black influences. I don't live in that exact environment and yet their are the financially af fluent black regions of Los Angeles or NYC or Atlanta where everyone black is millionaire or better. so... yes\, the us has different places \, diff erent financial environments \, always has\, and they don't relate. So wh en the usa is spoken of in one way\, because a person lives in one particu lar place is that reflective of the usa? no\, it is reflective of a partic ular place in the usa. That is not the same.  44 minutes ago\, ProfD s aid:Many of us taught to accept the fact that life is not fair.  However \, despite the negative obstacles that life will put in your way\, do not allow it to impede the effort of pressing towards the mark of the high c alling.  Again\, I do not see anything positive coming out of those who cry/grumble/complain about how life is not fair in one way or several.   These conditions existed before we were born. Especially for those of you who believe in procreation regardless of the circumstances.  So\, here w e are born into an unfair existence &\; left to figure this sh8t out du ring our time on the planet.  Some people find a way to *win* while ot hers wallow in pond of misery or despair or hopelessness.Expand  Ahh yes and that is a very statian turn of phrase. you see\, life is even\, life is beautiful. nature is even\, nature is beautiful. And\, life isn't fair /white nor is it schartz/black\, nature as well isn't fair or schwartz. H uman beings manipulate life into uneveness. manipulate life into being fai r or schwartz. IT isn't life that brings negative or positive obstacles i n humans lives\, it is other humans. Those who confuse human actions as l ife is the great dysfunction\, this goes back to NAt Turner\, Jean JAcques Dessalines\, the IRA\, what they are saying is Blacks folks problems aren 't life but whites or Irish peoples problems aren't life but English. Kil l the whites\, kill the english and life becomes its natural neutral state . The problem is humans are not fools inside\, they can tell themselves t hat life isn't even\, but they know the truth is life is even\, it is othe r humans making their lives uneven that they need to change and the best w ay to do that isn't to play games with the humans that are making their li ves uneven but to kill those humans making their lives uneven \, and in fa ce with that truth\, many humans lament\, the lie they were raised with.  I have seen this \, as a tutor\, I have seen black parents say such things with my own eyes and I have refuted them to black children in their prese nce. It isn't life that is hard\, your not broke/you don't have opportuni ties or resources because nature/earth/life used ocean water and made a hu ge tide and grabbed our forebears off the land and carried our forebears i n a bubble to other lands. Your challenges are white made\, not life made.  Existence is always even\, always beautiful and never white/fair nor bla ck/schwartz So admit the humans that are truly behind your woes which you r parents know is true\, but are lying to you because they themselves have never faced the true source of their own woes\, which is whites.And I wil l defend the pond of helplessness. It is no accident that the IRA was only three hundred people \, it is no accident that Black DOSers in what becam e Haiti alone made a country for DOSers in the American continent. The he lpness comes because of another truth\, all humans know humans are the one s that make life imabalnced\, it is never life itself\, life is always try ing to reach balance. Life is never trying to be white or black or uneven in any way. So that means some humans have to be taken out but most don't have the courage for that. And this is what Zen meant. People think Zen me ans the person who does nothing amidst the chaos but misses that isn't Zen \, what Zen says is that any action is acceptible in nature. What this mea ns isn't that one must exist within chaos\, what it means is any action\, no matter how violent isn't a sin\, isn't a negative\, isn't anything to b e afraid of. And that wisdom is what most parents\,\,\, sadfully\, don't convey to their children or are too afraid to face themselves.  03272026 https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/12614-netflix-the-new-segregation-in-entertainm ent/#findComment-80945osted just now@ProfD  4 hours ago\, ProfD said: Do you believe the takers improved the country or merely lived off that which was already developed?  The USA has undergone a major transformati on over these past several hundred years &\; counting.based on the firs t peoples heritage\, lifestyle \, the answer is no. but white europeans pu blicly admitted they came to destroy the native american no to improve any thing concerning the native american so... life is balance\,  a country s tarted by takers is itself took. White immigration is older than the usa\ , like so many things about the usa \, the usa's birth didn't start any oo f it. that immigration heritage didn't start in 1776 but started in 1492. The blood feud between whites and blacks didn't start in 1776 but started in 1492. Yes the usa has technology had many eras from 1776 to 2026. But\ , in terms of the people\, the heritage\, the culture\, the usa is in my m ind\, only a little different than the white european colonies. Again JAme s Forten was a black man who owned a business in the english colonies and afterward with the creation of the usa but the black 1% has always existed . So... the meat and potatoes of the usa are older than the usa.  4 hour s ago\, ProfD said:All types of buildings &\; businesses will spring up once the investors get a foothold. a foothold\, what stopped them thes e past fifty odd years\, what defines a foothold? and who are these inves tors exactly?   4 hours ago\, ProfD said:what are you going to about it? How are you going to deal with the humans responsible for the unfair conditions?well\, did one white man enslave black people or did white peo ple enslave black people. From my reading of history this was group activ ities not singular individuals so... The question is what are blacks going to do and if very few blacks are willing to come together and do then the ir resides the reason for the \, pool or negativity. Not all problems are individual based. One person can't handle the humans responsible. And for the record\, just to make sure in case any read this\, i never said my pl ans to the future include mass genocide. My point is that many black peopl e want that\, but they don't have the courage for that. And I will not cri minalize them because many people don't have the stomach for killing. And soldiers will tell you\, with all the training and sergeants yelling and s peeches\, many soldiers are cowards. In movie land\, every soldier is look ing to fight but anyone who knows anything about war knows all armies are full of cowards\, masquerading behind a gun. So\, I will not chagrin unarm ed black people from not having the courage to be violent\, again the ira was only 300 people in an island with millions of irish\, i am not expecti ng a mass violent uprising from black dosers in the usa\, nor do I plan fo r that\, but I am also honest enogh to admit many black people quietly\, h ate whites and this country \, and it is a strong heritage\, which leads t o a desire to not involve in this country or with its whites. And sadly\, it also leads to a potent place of despair.   4 hours ago\, ProfD sai d:Exactly.  What is the alternative if one is too cowardly to take out th e enemy?many alternatives or other paths\, as DOSers are the proof1) Not a ll DOSers view whites of the usa as the enemy\, again James forten. So you r question misses the blacks who don't view whites as the enemy in the fir st place\, and infinite paths come from this. 2) To those too cowardly\, for whatever reason [and many reasons exists for not killing\, not merely fear of killing] infinite paths exist\, the following are some. I) live p eacefully with the enemy. and this takes many forms\, as DOSers show. II) find a land absent the enemy\, and this can take you anywhere\, as DOSers show.   4 hours ago\, ProfD said:As humans\, parents do whatever it take to shield/protect their children from the realities of this existence while also encouraging them to overcome it. Humans have been dancing thi s tango for thousands of years.  Nothing new under the sun.Well \, some p arents care for their children wisely\, not all. and some parents don't ca re for their children wisely. As an artists\, someone in an art community one said that Disney is needed for kids to have something positive. We wer e discussing the lack of complex relations in disney stories. and\, thinki ng on a thought i had communicating with you about the USA having only two aspects of itself 1) splitting from the english empire 2) the perception of usa eternity. I realize thinking on parents in the usa\, I was incorrec t. 2 ) is media weapons. The USA has a level of media unlike any country. The declaration of independence is an advertisement to a fake product. But when I extend beyond that I see\, the firms or peoples of the USA are als o heavy media folk. The daughters of the american revolution worked to ge t a fals emedia narrative as truth\, to this day\, many people of all phen otypes still adhere to the pfaux history that the daughters of the america n revolution created. But it extends to many. Immigrant parents. How many immigrant parents have i heard say\, they love the usa. A lie. They don't love the usa\, they were desperate for financial betterment and went to t he best place to get it with the least effort. Black DOSers\, if I hear o ne more black doser talk about forebears wanting to be Statian of the usa\ , i will eat my own gizzard. Another lie. And the funny thing is \, any re search into black art 1865 proves black people were very anti usa + white . but headed by the damn black church\, this myth of desired americanism c ame about so much so that most black people in the usa today\, act in conc ert to that lie. And thus to Disney\, Disney comprehended the majority of people in the usa\, the customers\,  like to lie and lie to others and b e lied to\, and the internet proves this. the internet as it is today is a usa creation and it proves the character of the majority in the usa gardl ess of phenotype/gender or any racial category. The fables that disney to ok came from germany\, a country that has its many biases but tends to act ually be more honest. From martin luther who couldn't stand the commercial ization of the medici popes\, the nazis who never said they were intereste d in world peace or making peace\, the nazis for all of their violence or criminal behavior never lied about their intentions to others. they lied t o themselves about their own infallicy\, and it is interesting how the whi tes of the usa was the nazis primary mimick of style\, learn lies from the biggest liar\, but the nazi's still retained a level of german honesty.  So yeah\, thank you profd\, the usa has two elements from itself1) breakin g away from england 2) media weaponry culturebut the individualism/fiscal capitalism/multiracialism/immigration/regional infighting heritages or cu ltures were actually started by the english in the colonial era\, not of t he usa. and I argue haven't changed much since then. Technology changing is a human thing\, that has nothing to do with any country\, that is human .  03/29/2026https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/12614-netflix-the-new-segregatio n-in-entertainment/#findComment-81010osted just now@ProfD   On 3/27/20 26 at 8:03 PM\, ProfD said:As it relates to Palestine &\; more specif ically the Gaza Strip\, I believe it will look like Dubai in the future.   The architects have already drawn up the blueprints.  Investors are l ining up to get a piece of the action.  The USA &\; Israel are workin g out the deals.Well... in the future if you go far ahead enough all place s have another golden time plus a feces time\, that is why of life. If yo u mean within fifty years \, I don't think so. But I am glad you have thi s insider information that seems to be unknown to many people black or non black\, so use it to gain fiscal wealth.   On 3/27/2026 at 8:03 PM\,  ProfD said:i just don't see too much energy poured into mission either in action or rhetoric.  There have been a few instances where groups of Bl ack folks have attacked white folks but historically\, past to present\, f ar more Black folks have been killed by white folks than vice versa.well y es\, especially in the last five hundred years\, again\, humanity has been around a while\, so I resist speaking on all of human history\, i prefer some temporal domains on any issue  On 3/27/2026 at 8:03 PM\, ProfD sa id:White people do.  They are human killing machines directly &\; indi rectly.  History proves it. Right now\, the USA &\; Israel are droppi ng bombs on Iran.  What is the death toll?in my read of history most whit es don't either. most humans simply do not\,at least in my read of human h istory. I don't know the number of iranians murdered by usa +israel  in the last two years\, i know it is high\, and i know that the seeds of grea t negativity are being born of it that will become something one day  On 3/27/2026 at 8:03 PM\, ProfD said:Black people can buy weapons &\; l earn how to use them if they have the desire &\; will to do so.i repeat many soldiers on battlefields\, with the most deadly weapons\, trained ev ery day\, being shot at\, are unable to use weapons\, the presence of a we apon in your hands plus daily training plus your personal life threatened still doesn't equal automatic will to use weapons.  On 3/27/2026 at 8:03 PM\, ProfD said:Similar to the person in an abusive relationship.  The y *h8te* being mistreated but won't fight back or kill the abuser.  They stick around for 1) any benefits &\; 2) hoping &\; praying the abuse will stop.the biggest problem in your allusion is the dysfunctional relat ionship between individuals and groups. The individual in an abusive rela tionship side another individual has a great difference between a group in an abusive relationship side another group. When George Stinney was unev enly incarcerated by white law enforcers\, chaoticly and violently mobbed by white citizens\, George Stinney's parents couldn't simply raise an army from the black populace. The black populace as a group isn't getting ben efits\, nor is the black populace as a group hoping and praying the abuse will stop\, the black populace as a group doesn't have a group mechanism.  A woman running from a man is not the same as a group of people running from another. Remember\, in any two groups interaction you have individual interactions in all ways. During the time of George Stinney some black ki lled whites. It is about the mechanics of the group. And to that end\, th e black populace of the usa has had various internal mechanics\, but at th e moment\, the black populace of the usa has arguably the weakest internal mechanics\, but based on black individuals who have chosen to influence t he larger group that way.And the non black\, specifically old white popula ce has the same problem today. The reality is\, in the 1900s the white pop ulace in the usa became internally multiracial\, like the black. So the 20 26 white populace has a more complex internal mechanics than in 1960s\, or mid nineteen hundreds or earlier and many whites in the usa\, especially the old whites\, are having problems comprehending the change in internal mechanics of the white populace\, cause it was never like this before.    On 3/27/2026 at 8:03 PM\, ProfD said:Over the past 200 years  count ing\, the USA has produced the most innovation &\; technological change s that have been replicated around the planet. the usa produced the most innovation \, I don't know about that.  the first satellite was russian/ sovietthe first system to have a human being in space was russian sovietth e first integrated computer was englishthe fastest submarine is russian/so viet \, using liquid metal heated by the enginethe fastest torpedo is sovi et using supercavitationthe only domestic use of nuclear power engines is russian/soviet- these are ships that break ice circa north polethe first r ockets or jet fighters are germanthe earliest airships or dirigibles are f rench/germanthe best dam building is from russia/sovietsthe mapping of the genome was an international effort\, it wasn't one countryfirst printed c ircuit boards  were germanfirst electronic watch was swissthe first elect ronic watch with peizoelectric was nippon/japanwe all know about benz from germany and the single stroke engine\, his poor wife. Everyone knows the usa never produced better weapons than germany during the second white eu ropean imperial war\, but the usa \, like china  which is interesting hi storically\, are both big copiers and mass producers.  Innovation\, new things\, the usa isn't a big new things country.Other countries tend to do that more during the usa's two hundred and fifty years.  Most technologi es their source isn't the usa.  The usa did make the television. But th e one innovation the usa did make that truly warrants note\, through ford\ , was the assembly line.  And it is interesting cause the concept of the assembly line is about the goal of mass production. An assembly line can h ave a bunch of human beings with torches\, but the key to technological ch anges\, polishings\, is the assembly line pushes mass production which is truly usa and something that china has grabbed onto as a concept in light of the usa. Crafting from ancient times was never a mass produced idea\, t he idea is to make something efficient\, long lasting\, but the assembly l ine idea busted through that concept.   In parallel\, when I look at sov iet russia\, arguably the problem with soviet russia is that it truly adop ted the german technological heritage from the weimar district of efficien t innovation\, the ancient human heritage of quality craft. The usa create d the modern culture of hype schools\, the ivy leagues. In the usa you say you go to a school or work for a firm and the hype of that is superior to the quality of a place. In germany \, demerit is real\, failure leads to demerit. but in the usa\, one can exist above demerit. You see this with S chrumpft\, he epitomizes that statian heritage in government. Wheras in ge rmany in weimar\, the idea was effectiveness. As I said to you before\, th e usa's greatest two aspects is : one break away from the british and two\ , the culture of advertisement from the declaration of independence throug h the radio\, the usa didn't create radio\, through television\, through t he internet [the usa did create the protocols used by most today\, but not the internet itself\, the internet is really a web of webs of various pro tocols made by various groups or organizations\, the usa through its adver tising skill got most to fall in line to it]  the usa is a master of sell ing ideas\, not the truth\, but selling ideas\, getting people to buy into them\, prosyletization [ which I can't stand but there you have it] .    If you look deep alot of technologies were not from the usa but the us a mass manufactured\, that fiscal capitalistic power made sure the usa pro fited financially from it\, but that ins't innovation. Just because someon e makes money off a thing doesn't mean they thought of it. And to black f olks\, people will say george washington carver was american but Percy Jul ian proves black engineers in days past didn't see themselves as american\ , not honestly. You say things in public\, but do you really believe. As j ames baldwin said\, very honestly\, which is rare for most in the public e ye\, I paraphrase\, his father never hurt whites one bit\, but his father hated whites to the pit of his soul. We talk about black parenting and wh y it was so harsh but black parents weren't happy. I think we as descenden ts of black parents of mid to late eighteen hundreds to mid nineteen hundr eds \, as per the usa's influence\, have created an advertisement campaign to ourselves\, lying about our forebears to make our choices seem better.   @Pioneer1  On 3/28/2026 at 11:19 AM\, Pioneer1 said:Hmmmm.......\n Interesting exchange between you two.\n\nSometimes it's pleasant to just s it back and READ the points of view of others.glad you are enjoying yourse lf @Mel Hopkins  On 3/28/2026 at 11:44 AM\, Mel Hopkins said:We  hav e black owned radio stations  and cathy hughes' urbanone network.

If you look at most wealthy people today in the black populace for e xample\, it is like whites\, mostly inheritors. In the 1960s black people with money were mostly people born financially poor who made it rich but n ow\, inheritors is ninety percent like with all demographics or peoples in the usa\, What is my point? The people with money in a community are al ways the financial leaders and in absence it is tough. I can take nyc\, t he financial center of white jews/irish/italians and all three have their mobs to thank for everything. what are mobs ? financially wealthy organiza tions involved in illegal activities\, run by people mostly grew up poor. When the italians/white jews/irish folk wanted to go legal they still used illegal money to make it happen. So\, you need the big money folk. To th at end\, everyday I see black millionaires and billionaires investing in w hite enterprises. they are not blind\, they know the black populace has ne eds\, so if they are unwilling to use their money to support he black popu lace\, then they simply are. Again\, how many black people from the 1960s to today paid for a black person to go to a non historical black college?  that is arguably billions of dollars mostly given to non black colleges? black colleges are arguably the oldest non religious /secular black organ izations in the united states of america\, so... no excuse for lack of her itage. I comprehend your greater point but you need to really eye the bla ck fiscal wealthy for that lacking. And if for no other reason\, fiscal ho nesty. that jewish art gallery\, where you get your money from\, the loan s\, the local bank? feces\,you had some rich white jew help you\, through the synagoge. that italian construction company\, where you get the commi ssions? on merit\, feces\, you had connections with your cousin in the mob . I don't think any shame exist getting help\, but for some reason\, mayb e @ProfD can answer\, people in the usa have a huge problem being honest when it comes to who helped them out financially. They seem ashamed to sa y it is a mob or a financial friend in some form? why be ashamed? the usa has never been place where the public way leads to anything. Women in the usa who have big houses and sent all their kids to school talk about how they worked hard... you got a financial stipend from a man who abused you worth millions of dollars. You married a billionaire forty years your seni or. I am not criminalizing\, but too many in the usa who have wealth are v ery ashamed of their history of financial transactions. How many black pe ople started businesses with fbi/cia money? when they gave them cash to se ll out black people and they used that to start businesses\, support their kids? why can't they say? what are they ashamed of? whites in the usa wh o got money from their great uncle who runs a private prison which has bee n in operation since the late 1800s\, a family treasure. not paying encarc erated people while they took all the money and skimmed for road building.  If more people in the usa would admit the truth of their financial trans actions especially in financing\, that would push people to embrace fiscal ly wealthy people being responsible for not investing in things. Stop tell ing fiscally poor people about their pennies.  @Mel Hopkins   On 3/28 /2026 at 12:15 PM\, Mel Hopkins said:We can too! That is still our mediu m. But I get your point\, we don't have the other media.  Heck we barely have newspapers!every group barely has newspapers\, should black people be that financially other? again\, in NYC\, i see lot of newspaper gravesite s.  is it up to blacks to go against financial trends in a country where we are not the majority populace? @Pioneer1  On 3/28/2026 at 12:20 PM\ , Pioneer1 said:Which is crazy because back in the 50s and 60s not only did every Black community have it's own paper but nearly every Black highs chool had it's own Black newspaper. You didn't need a Scripts Howard back then.\n Black students were learning journalism (among other skills and trades) BEFORE they graduated from Highschool.\n Expand  It isn't crazy\ , why do you say it is crazy? every fiscal firm has numerical realities. paper cost money\, reporters cost money [cost of living/extra wage/competi tive wage influence]\, shipping newspapers cost money. Can you get adverti sing for your newspaper? the village voice is gone\, that was a public new spaper\, the reason was simple\, it was unaffordable\, even with adveritis ng the adult /erotic/similar stuff\, they couldn't afford their cost of op eration. Your saying its crazy black people don't have newspapers like cl early if I started a newspaper right now in debt\, the debt would be cover ed in a month. I think newspapers are a negative business. First\,the tw o methods of getting money are thin now: subscriptions + advertisements.  Subscriptions are tough cause across the demographic board in the usa\, so not just black people\, people don't read long form. or paper based commu nication. many newspapers have tried online but again\, a website isn't fr ee to host\, a website cost money to maintain and overtime only increase.  Advertising is tough cause advertisers have metrics\, in the past or tod ay\, they know what people aren't viewing/being influenced by\, so why sho uld a firm advertise. Look at the amsterdam news in NYC. it is fortunate. It has a black wealthy populace in NYC\, specifically manhattan that is o ld\, has a heritage of support for the amsterdam news. Most black newspape rs don't have a fiscally wealthy black minority in the black populace of t he city they are in like the Amsterdam News. And I know you well enough t hat you always want to fall on the fiscally poor only using black newspape rs to keep them alive but... I can't tell what would reading the amsterdam news really give back to the fiscal black poor of nyc if they were to eac h invest per month or two weeks into the amsterdam news.   DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260324 RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;INTERVAL=1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
