When you sit back and recall the funny things that come out of a child's mouth, you can't help but laugh. The innocence is priceless as you sit back and watch them try to figure out how to navigate this world. what I find even funnier is listening to them as they near adulthood - the conversations that take place as they now try to figure out how to navigate the world that they 'think' they're ready for. then, the conversations that take place as adults when they reflect about the past and share how they interpreted words, conversations, and phrases that they heard in their younger years - even they have to laugh at themselves. Of course there are those un…

Yeah that might sound hyperbolic, but it is true. We all know Facebook is working hard to become the Internet, the only site people visit and engage on. But the real threat to the internet is Google. Google alone controls the World Wide Web. They determine the traffic a website gets and has their finger in the revenue streams of most of them. I just blogged about this subject, so you can read more. If you do please comment and share your thoughts.

Hello All, I was just reading USA Today and it seems that Amazon is getting into the publishing business. Here's a link to the article, http://www.usatoday.com/life/books/news/2010-02-04-amazonbooks04_ST_N.htm

Chris Hayden and Tom Burrell, the author of a new book challenging the myth of black inferiority, apparently think they are among the enlightened few obligated to spread the word that - "Negroes are brain-washed!" So what else is new? I have been hearing this and the arguments that accompany it for almost 50 years, and it's a declaration that is always imparted in the form of a scold. "You poor clueless negroes are just tryin to be like white folks!" As if white folks have a monopoly on the desire to live the American dream; as if any black person who strives for this is - trying to look white, trying to talk white, trying to act white, trying to deny their African Herita…

GHETTOHEAT® reviewed by Simone Carlene Porter, The Flow Magazine, 6/05 Chillin’ on the front stoop on a hot summer day with a glass of “Red” Kool-Aid, watching the people; watching the events unfold. It’s amazing just how much you would see. HICKSON’s GHETTOHEAT® is just that. GHETTOHEAT®. The topics of his raw, unpolished poetry are of the ghetto and its people. The heat, is clearly his unique way of placing the words together in different rhythms and style. HICKSON’s poetry sheds light on subjects that would never come up during a conversation at the dinner table. His collection is not something that has been diluted and edited to appeal to a wider ra…

#GHETTOHEAT ANPU: WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN Delicate, yet resilient, the complexities of a woman’s mind and body has conformed mankind since the origin of our very existence. Maybe that’s because, much like any other miraculous form of creation, the acquisition of a woman’s immeasurable mental and anatomical treasures, are granted only to those who are more in accord with the rhythm of their natural vibrations. Often times, seeking to suppress or dominate her vibration causes separation. The union between compatible individuals, in many instances, is as close in proximity as a mortal couple can come to transcending the limitations of their own bodie…

- The crackling from the pipe sizzled loudly as she inhaled the dense, deadly smoke. The drug raced through her body in an instant, causing her brain to register orgasmic-like elations throughout her body. All her worries were suspended. A lightness filled her head. She had no thought. No Memories. She was within a present and without a past at the same time. As Nika stepped slowly down down the stairs, and out of the abandoned building, the warm gooey liquid streamed more fluidly from under her skirt. Steam emitted from the liquid as it hit the freezing air oblivious to mother nature's wicked cold. She floated down the wary, dark street. She heard faint music in her e…

28th Day of ‪#‎BlackHistoryMonth‬ - Haki Madhubuti - Poet, Activist, Educator, Publisher

Everyone who is a regular visitor to AALBC.com's forums knows I'm on a mission to help Black folks maintain control of some portion of the web--especially where our stories are concerned. Currently, the majority of authors who email me information about their books do not have their own web site. This was not always the case. Despite websites being easier and cheaper than ever to maintain, authors are increasingly not creating websites for themselves. Obviously, the popularity of Amazon and Facebook is one of the reasons authors have begun using a Facebook or Amazon as their main web presence. Of the two, Amazon is far better than Facebook, if the aut…

Every now and then you find a hidden gem. A piece of history you had no idea existed or even thought to think it would. A Black man becoming a millionaire in Russia? During Jim Crow? When the south became too much to bear, Frederick Bruce Thomas migrated to the Midwest in search of escape and a better life. Settling in Chicago and Brooklyn, he worked as a waiter and sometimes cook before heading to London seeking more freedom. And as fate would have it, he ventured to Russia and while many of his fellow dark-skinned Americans were being lynched and terrorized, he was able to amass a fortune and lifestyle no one could have imagined. Once settled in…

However, in her more youthful years, s…

There was a time when some of these title were considers really scandalous. Today they'd ruffle few feathers; not because people are more sexually liberated, but because we have become so crass more pronographic than erotic. The hookup culture of randomly banging people you barely know... The strip clubs where guys and gals can get women to do pretty much anything with the right amount to cash.
