Culture, Race & Economy

Jaron Lanier really articulates, in an accessible way, everything I've been complaining about for the last two years. It is hopeful that someone is actually talking about these issues in the mainstream media. While I complain about losing the Black voice on the net from the perspectives of journalism and artists, Lanier talks about it in much broader societal perspective. Of course the Black community, as with all that ails America, is more adversely impacted. Unfortunately, any entities with a broad reach are not raising this issues. which garnered, deservedly, a lot of attention in the Black media a decade ago. Today there is no one in the Black commun…

The film, which open July 21, has already earned $113,360,470 at the box office. It was directed by Malcolm D. Lee, the screenplay was written by Kenya Barris and Tracy Oliver, the film was produced by Will Packer, has 4 Black female leads and more Black people in that I even care to copy and paste. No other Black film with so many Black folk responsible for the production has ever earned more than $100MM, Have you seen it yet? What do you think?

Who the heck is "elias gutierrez"? Six of the top 10 Google searches, bringing traffic to my site yesterday was for "elias gutierrez" or some variation of that name. Each time the page from my site returned was one about the life of a famous author Bebe Moore Campbell I went to her page and found out that Bebe's daughter Maia Campbell was married to an Elias Gutierrez. The 1st result on another search on both names was a website called celebrity hook ups. If these are all the same people, Maia is an actress who broke up Elias. But why are all these people looking for elias gutierrez all of a sudden? Bebe Moore Cambell

Look who popped up across my Youtube screen yesterday...... At first I thought it was some brother running for Mayor or a member of Biden's Administration until I looked closer at the name. Troy you're looking kind of professional up in this video. Looking like you know what you're talking about...lol. I wonder does the Wall Street Journal know you like WE know you....LOL.

Nefertiti and the challenges of reexamining the past when it was done negatively for so long. A white man of europe wants to investigate into Kemet's past but Kemet doesn't want it , regardless to his arguments. https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2135&type=status

Who will you commemorate on Memorial Day? Who will you commemorate on Memorial Day? One hundred years ago on May 31, 1921, the federal government of the United States allowed the state of Oklahoma, including the National Guard, local police, political officials and vigilantes to destroy the Greenwood District in the city of Tulsa. Recently, several survivors from that massacre spoke before congress recalling their experience as children and the need for justice. Those who spoke included Ms. Viola Fletcher, age 107, Mother Lessie Benningfield Randle, age 106, and Mr. Hughes Van Ellis, age 100, a WW II veteran and the brother of Ms. Fletcher. This weekend, t…

Why Did Barack Obama and Eric Holder Select Kamala? https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/08/18/why-did-barack-obama-and-eric-holder-select-kamala/

I am more than likely wrong about this, but wanna run a 'background check' on Paula White. I don't know much about her but practically every time I have seen her preaching, her church has been jammed packed with brothas and sistas. I recall the first time i saw her was back in the early 2000s and I asked someone about her since I was intrigued to see a white lady leading a church full of black folks. I mean she was strutting around preaching and hollering and screaming just like a black minister. I was then told that TD Jakes had schooled her. Okay. The next time I saw her was a few years ago and she was still at it. And then I see her with Trump last week as his spiritua…

This is a "spin off" of the thread that our brother Gibran started about Paster Paula White......one of the more well known interlopers who is getting rich off of imitating the style of AfroAmericans. I want you all to take a look at her style of preaching and her body language Look at how she sways from side to side and bounces while preaching. Look at the white tennis shoes with the tight jeans and color contrasts. She's clearly trying to ATTRACT and CHARM the mostly Black audience and get them under her spell as she preaches in a certain cadence. She learned all of this from AfroAmerican preachers.....n…

What's up family! I know it's been a while since I've been here and I miss "most" of you....lol. I'm here now though! I'm gonna spend Memorial Day weekend with one of my favorite online families. Who do you blame for the massacre of those elderly and female Black folks up in Buffalo New York a couple weeks ago? I blame OTHER Black folks primarily, and there's a reason for that that I'll get into later on in the discussion, but as of now I'm curious as to what others of you think.

Who’s Who!? In Memory of the Pointer Sisters' Career Okay, it took me hours to figure out who is who of the Pointer Sisters. And so, since I read that many people had the same problem that I did, I decided to put some names to some of the pictures of the sisters. After researching and listening to their music for hours, I really can say, I believe they are so awesome and will cherish their memory. Three of the Pointer sisters have passed and now, only one is still alive and I hope that she will live on for many more years to come. At any rate following is a brief historical account of each of the sisters and their pictur…

BLACKSTAR*NETWOR!!!: -White Governance Bid HALTED As State-Run Court Temporarily BLOCKED In Jackson! | Roland Martin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4M27P28UfDE DEMOCRACY*NOW!!! -“Plantation Politics”: How White Mississippi Lawmakers Want to Seize Power in Majority-Black Jackson https://www.democracynow.org/2023/3/9/jackson_apartheid -The History of White Lawmakers Trying to Take Over Mississippi’s Predominately Black Capital https://capitalbnews.org/jackson-mississippi-takeover-2/

Being one who usually prefers to color within the lines, every now and then you have to mess up the picture a bit, or at worse, destroy it. The intent of this post has absolutely ‘nothing’ to do with white supremacy, black power, anti-Semitism, self-hate, or anything else along those lines. An issue that occasionally shows up on the horizon, one that some people take seriously, but many others choose to ignore and don’t take a closer look at is: “How liberal Jews in government, business, education, entertainment, media and politics in America, were so successful in programming so many liberal black Americans into being so ‘intellectually challenged…

WHOOPI GOLDBERG IN THE NEWS AGAIN FOR ANOTHER COMMENT ABOUT THE JEWS Apparently, Whoopi made comments againt that allude to her belief that the Holocaust was not ORIGINALLY Racial. For this reason, a Jewish organization wants her to apologize again and some feel that she should be fired from her job. Well, I read some reports about her comments, and although, it's obvious to me that the Holocaust was definitely a full scale racist attack against the European Jews, however, Whoopi did not make it clear, in what she was referring to about other major issues too that involved EUGENICS in regards to others. When did the Eugenic Movement occur? This needs to be cla…

Whoopi Goldberg has been suspended for 2 weeks from The View for opening her pie-hole about the Jew: https://www.foxnews.com/media/whoopi-goldberg-suspended-from-the-view-following-holocaust-remarks Unbelievable that in 2022, these folks are still taking their chances with antisemitism. Jews don't play when if comes to the holocaust. I'm so jealous that Jews have the power to cancel and shut sh8t down when they've been aggrieved. I wish ADOS had something similar when dealing with racism. 😎

When will Black America wake up and stop watching traditional television and the mainstream media, which are destroying its (i.e., Black America's) social fabric, youth, economic power, intellectual growth, competitiveness, future prospects, very existence, and more?

Not sure if anyone covered this issue since the controversy a week ago but Whoopi got in trouble for claiming that the Holocaust wasn't because of race. They even suspended her for that comment. Well......she's right. Jews...for the most part....are NOT a separate race from the rest of Caucasians. They are part of the same race. There ARE some Black and mixed race Jews, but they are a relative minority. The vast majority are Caucasian (White). Jews are an ETHNICITY...not a race. They are bound together not by blood but by culture and history. The only difference between them and other White folks are their religious and cultural practices, and…

This is WORSE than Rodney King! Atleast brother King's hands were free to block some of the blows and move around. This man was held on the ground while his hands were cuffed behind his back no doubt wrecking his shoulders and collar bones WHILE the race-soldiers were taking turns whipping him with batons. ….and had the NERVE to tell him to "relax" while they were whooping the hell out of him. I think this just might be the final twist to SEAL the doom of White Supremacy in the United States.

Why All The Reports About Nuclear Bombs? High altitude balloons, like the one China has floated over mountain state military bases this week, are considered a key “delivery platform” for secret nuclear strikes on America’s electric grid, according to intelligence officials. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/dry-run-balloons-called-top-delivery-platform-for-nuclear-emp-attack/ar-AA174OkJ?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=c86af376050b4cc6b774464b53dab6e1 ______________________________________________________________________________ Yesterday, I saw a report about 'What to do if a nuclear bomb is dropped'.

"The combined market capitalization of Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google is now equivalent to the GDP of India. How did these four companies come to infiltrate our lives so completely? In a spectacular rant, Scott Galloway shares insights and eye-opening stats about their dominance and motivation -- and what happens when a society prizes shareholder value over everything else." I Think Scott does a really good job of presenting data in a way that connection on a emotional level.

From Saturday!s New York Times. The article can be summed up in one sentence; Students have more pressing personal matters to contend with. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/11/us/politics/biden-morehouse-black-colleges.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare The article supports what the good @ProfD has been saying all along.

When I first joined this site some people were lamenting the “poor” people who couldn’t even afford to buy a car in America. Now when it was pointed out there was a huge secondary market for car purchases that still didn’t dissuade them from the position. I bring this up because recently the Biden Administration is vigorously advocating we don’t need more oil production because we are transitioning. My question is transitioning to what? Elon Musk one of the leading proponents of Electric Vehicles recognizes the folly in that stance. My immediate response was that of course he would say that because if people didn’t have money or weren’t alive after su…

I am not talking about gentrified areas and even then on average, black people dont get offered much for their homes. In general, when I look up homes in the Black community, most of the homes cap at 300 to 350k. Does anyone know why?

Were our black women always this damn violent? Its really getting out of control and makes black women look very bad. Black women not only commit violent assaults but also murder and armed robbery MUCH MORE than any other race. Again, this is fact. One just needs to look at recent video footage and news articles, its absolutely insane. Black women are angry, scary, and vicious. Its the black culture and lack of family values, structure, and poor impulse contol.

Religious people don't seem to have a lot to say when it comes to protesting wars. Thousands of women and children are being murdered in these current conflicts. Yet, there's no huge outcry for a cease-fire from the holy folks. I doubt Russia and Israel are pouring that much money into the coffers.😎

Nothing clears your head like calling out hypocrisy and shameful pandering to a powerful interest group. These are the times when you know who is really running the government and it’s not regular citizens. One glaring example is the reactions to the real issues of actual gun deaths versus almost nonexistent real voter fraud. http://pollardpost.blogspot.com/2012/07/why-are-voters-controlled-more-than-guns.html

I just read Cynique's lamenting I also watched the last few minutes of the Knicks win over his royal majesty Lebron James' Miami heat. Spike Lee was in the audience giving birth over the games -- sitting in a seat worth a mortgage payment. The Knick's game was close and kept the injury prone team from breaking their own record 13 straight playoff losses and a 0-7 season spanking by the Heat. But other than those observations the game really meant nothing for me. Sure there were some great shots and moves made, but the game could have been played by two completely different teams and I would have been just as unmoved. I did not care who won or lost -- the only …

A lot of this is based off of state Representatives Ed Vaughn and Henry Stallings opinions back in the '90s. It increases black representation demographically and politically. The more people who are considered black, the more unified the support of what is left of such causes like as equals rights, affirmative action, and voting rights since they are under attack by the Supreme Court and state Republican legislators across the country. Many pro civil rights figures in the past have been light skinned such as State Representative Adam Clayton Powell Jr and Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. Walter White,…

Why are we as a people so far behind everyone else? Why is it that other people of color from India, china, Japan so much further ahead despite them coming to this country with no money and in many cases not able to even speak our language? Its because they have strong family values, family structure, they push education and hard work, and they obey and respect the law. Its EXTREMELY RARE for a woman from india, china, or japan to get pregnant at a very young age. That rarely ever happens. Most live in traditional households and their children are raised in a structured environment. Its also very rare for asians to get into trouble with the law and commit robberies, murde…

I recently came across an article on Reddit speaking on the traumas many black Americans face growing up. Many of the points the author made really resonated with me, the disparities in the black communist does a great deal of harm to all of us whether we know it or not. The most interesting part of the article to me was the idea that the majority don't see as human so they assume we commit crimes because we're just prone to it. But whites are seen as humans, because when they commit crimes they are seen as mentally ill. If there any thoughts about this article let me know, I think this is a problem that needs to be discussed in great detail. I haven't found to many other…

There were 70,000 foreigners studying in Ukraine, according to various publications and Ukrainian government officials. About a quarter were Black Africans. There were about 20,000 Indians, according to 2020 government data. They fled the war, just as anyone with a working brain would. But many Blacks were mistreated as they tried to flee. They were beaten and blocked from boarding trains and buses scheduled to cross into Poland. Many had to walk miles to get to safe areas. Not all the Africans have made it home. When most managed to cross the border, some were tossed into detention camps. This is what I am chiefly concerned about. Massacres, rapes, home b…

If the Democrats had had a pro drilling stance the Republicans would be running it all up their asses right now. You would see cartoons with Obama covered in oil. They would be blaming it on them and be shouting "Drill Baby Drill every other sentence" The Democrats can't seem to realize they are in a war for power. Knowledge will not do it. Education will not do it. The other side knows the truth, but it ignores it because it knows what it wants and will do anything to get it. It will not end until one side has smashed the other to the ground and is standing there with its foot on the others neck. We are in the same period as late in Weimar Germany--when t…

More gossipy stuff at the top of my YouTube Feed. I clicked because curiosity got the best of me, and the sources was Forbes. Cornel West is brilliant intellectual, but a regular man like the rest of us. I'm glad Forbes is not poking around my finances it would be embarrassing. Getting divorced is a great way to destroy wealth and he has been divorced 5 times.

This short video does a very good job of explaining why Covid19 is so much more dangerous than the seasonal flu. When Kareem posted the link to that error ridden article calling into question the seriuosness of the pandemic. I called it out as such and pointed out a fundemental flaw in the article's reasoning. Interestingly, after doing that Kareem stopped posting. @Chevdove you were surprised by his reaction -- indeed I was too. But in hindsight I'm beginning to think Kareem was a troll, a sophisticated one, but a troll nonetheless. Trolls do a number of very bad things; one is spreading misinformation. If you go to a Black website and…

MY THOUGHTS 0:10 Jill scott's character in this film is well known, I have only seen two tyler perry films. One is with a black woman who is with a wife beater, and the other is with a black woman who is using a black man's marriage as a cover for her mistresshood to a white man . But it seems he likes to have an abused black woman by a black man. reminds me of "for colored girls" 3:30 I don't think Zenobia shared why the relationship between jill scott's character and said character's husband bother's her so much. It is clearly negative but she wanted to say more i think 4:15 Nike, you found the relationship with the michael j white character side wife…

can you believe this totally rewrite of history? It’s scary.

I'll tell you why....... Black voters didn't come out for Hillary for the same reason most of them didn't come out for Trump...NEITHER ONE of them really offered us anything! Atleast Trump would mention the Black community in a rather facetious if not condescending way in passing: "And the Blacks...ya know....the Blacks have it so rough now" "I mean come on, ya live in the ghetto and have rotten schools, what the hell have you got to lose" Now does Trump give a damn about "the Blacks"? HELL no....and no one with good sense expects him to. But Hillary Clinton never offered a decent alternative She never offered the Black community anything of substance l…

When I was a child I was told racism was when one person hated another for the color of their skin or their racial background. When I became a teen people told me racism was either thinking one race was superior to another or when someone was scared or didn't understand a racial group different than themselves. When I became an adult racism was said to be racial discrimination with power plus privilege in effect and therefore only certain groups could be racist. Is racism soon going to be when you don't validate someone's belief that they can be another race besides the one they were born? Why does the meaning keep changing?…

Why do blacks purposely walk slow when crossing the street? I get this question a lot from people and I believe its mostly black males that do it and its done to disrespect whites, asians, and hispanics. As a black man I also notice it.

The anonymity of cyberspace provides people with a unique environment to behave more freely and openly with less restraint from the real world. Individuals can express their true self more freely and openly online than offline. People desire to perform effectively, to obtain the experience [or the impression] of being competent. The self-discrepancy theory proposed three domains of self: actual, ideal and ought self. An example could be used to better explain the difference between the three domains of the self. For a shy and lazy man who is currently an ordinary programmer in an IT company, the identity of a programmer is the actual self that he…

Black Americans Are Seeing Biden For Who He Is - Dr. Carol Miller Swain https://rumble.com/vnctd1-black-americans-are-seeing-biden-for-who-he-is.html

This thread is prompted by an observation by Cynique on another thread but it goes into the response by Black men in general society when it comes to conflict in the community and especially between Black women. Why do so many Black men allow people and especially women to fight without doing the "manly" thing of stepping in to resolve it? I can't speak for other male posters, I can only speak from my personal experiences and observations as to why this often happens....... First of all, a lot of Black men actually DO step in Especially when things get physical....as I have on several occasions when women started fighting eachother in my presence. But as long a…
