    Still licking their wounds from the election, Democrats are still vowing to maintain some sense of power. Democratic Rep. Wiley Nickels is floating the idea of a shadow government: https://ncnewsline.com/2024/11/25/u-s-rep-wiley-nickel-on-accountability-and-his-proposal-for-a-so-called-shadow-cabinet/ Nevermind that Democrats lost the POTUS election, failed to prevent Roe v Wade being overturned, a porous border and the uptick in inflation. The Democats clearly need to retreat, grow of a spine, regroup and come back with a stronger message. Otherwise, half the country has already spoken. They want round 2 wit…

    After more than 14 months of fighting between Israel and Palestine and 50 years of failed diplomacy, POTUS OJ is suggesting the U.S. should rebuild the Gaza Strip and move Palestinians across 12 countries in the Middle East. POTUS OJ claims the new Gaza Strip could be the Riviera of the Middle East. Supposedly, the new Gaza Strip would be a place that people from anywhere in the world including Palestinians could live, work and play. In 2 weeks on the job, POTUS OJ has shaken up the federal government, ramped up ICE raids to tackle immigration, shook down Mexico and Canada to deal with the borders and Fentanyl and possibly solved a 50-year old …

    Protests in Iran have claimed over 500 lives so far. Some Iranians have supposedly had enough with their theocratic government. POTUS OJ says the US is considering actions in the form of military strikes and negotiations that can be taken to liberate those Iranians. Regime change does not automatically guarantee the stability of a country. Otherwise, the US can offer plane tickets and immigration status to displaced Iranians. Right now, the bully bluster coming from POTUS OJ is more along the lines of violence against Iran.😎

Yet as the power and presence of AI expand, so too does awareness of one of its most complex and troubling characteristics—bias. Bias in AI is not merely a technical flaw; it is a mirror reflecting the imperfections of human society. It arises when systems trained to be “objective” inherit the prejudices, inequities, and blind spo…

Sadly, some black folks hate being black so badly that they'll do anything to get an honorary white pass.

As the dollar and other paper currencies fluctuate in value, seems it would make sense to weight a financial portfolio with a significant amount of gold since it is global currency. Billionaires and millionaires are weighted in dollars or whatever currency their countries use. We never hear about how much of that wealth is held in gold.

  30. "The idea that prisons could reform or rehabilitate is only around 200 years old." During reconstruction and into the present day the use of inmates to do the work for businesses is the most blatant form of the exploitation of the prison system -- comparable to slavery. This video lends credence to the notion that jails are built to make money and Black people, due to a racist system, are disproportionately incarcerated. Today the prisons themselves are the profit centers. Hence the dramatic increase in the number of Americans incarcerated. The recidivism and collateral damage on Black families, communities, and Black people, in g…

  40. I remember in the year two thousand and twenty three when media in NYC emphasized hate towards asians of any phenotype + white jews. But what I found most informative was that the percentage of hate crimes towards asians was under fifteen percent while hate towards black people of any language or religion or gender was second only to white jews. And the question relates to what Olayemi states brilliantly. Where is the outrage? where is the call for crime in the white community to be checked or handled? Moreover, I want to know their faces , their names. the odd thing about crimes against Black people by non whites is how little paperwork or technology is used or av…

Her second nomination comes for her role in Wicked: For Good, where she stars alongside Ariana Grande. Known for her powerful performances, Erivo’s career continues to break barriers, cementing her place as one of the most talented actors of her generation. The nomination is a significant moment for representation in Hollywood, as it highlights how far Black women have come in the entertainment industry, while underscoring the long road still ahead to ensure diverse vo…

Vox also explains how they get made. “It’s partly AI, partly a get-rich-quick scheme, and entirely bad for confused consumers.“ The internet, though, has always been a safe harbor for those with plans to innovate that pesky writing part out of the actual book publishing. On the internet, it’s possible to copy text from one platform and paste it into another seamlessly, to share text files, to build vast databases of stolen books. If you wanted to design a place specifically to pirate and sleazily monetize books, it would be hard to do better than the internet as it has long existed. Now, generative AI has made it possible to create cove…

    It is a psychological norm for individuals to not empathize with issues that do not affect them. History is often written by those who win in battle or conquer the minds of a population. America and much of this world have had a one-sided telling of history that is perpetuated into society. The victims of this perspective have been the descendants of Africa and other indigenous people around the world. We do not know how the Continent would have been if not interfered with. However, what if a new paradigm was created where Africa and its nations maintain a global superiority on this Earth? "BlackWash: The Untold Stories of Reverse Racism" produces this narrati…

Merely because media in the usa tends to suggest that the only children who drop out of school in all of humanity is black kids in the usa, which some black people actually repeat. Second , us media has made it seem like people in the usa who didn't get vaccinated endangered the whole world, like everyone else on earth got vaccinated. The lies of usa media, which get resounded by so many, made me enjoy this post visuality.
