I stumbled upon this post. It has a very good challenge in it. Can you identify the challenge? How could you apply the principle in your life?

It just may be that after three decades, there is a very slight chance that I may get the chance, at last, to formally address what happened to me on May 18th 1983. It was on that day, a bright, sunny May morning that I stepped off my front porch and it took me over ten years to get back. I was arrested for a crime I didn't commit. Here's the story. At approximately 8:00am on that morning I received a phone from one of my girlfriends, who was in jail. The other one was beside me in bed. The women were best friends and had been even before I had met them. Anyway, the girlfriend within reach, answered the phone and after a brief chit-chat with the girl in jail, I was given …

And this person also looks mixed themselves? What category would you say they fall into?

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…

The following is from an Indian Epigraph yoga (CII 4), meditation; a philosophical system (C/7 3 ; IA 17), addition of the longitudes of the sun and moon; an astrological element. In addition Yoga means union which can be sexual, spiritual either or both. It also means yoke.

I repeat The Black community in the USA need an alternative to Black officials from the Party of Andrew Jackson or Abraham Lincoln Brian Benjamin + Clarence Thomas have one thing in common. They represent the one thing that unifies Black government officials,elected or not, they are just poor.

Will the real Slim Shady Joe Biden please stand up?

You planned your cowardly attack since 2017. You shot ten people, terrorized all of New York City and thought little of it. But your oversized backside was never destined to escape the law. And that's coming, Frank James. You face life imprisonment on 10 counts for attacking the New York City subway system and a single count on discharging a firearm during the assault. I have no idea how much time you will get, but here's betting it's gonna be a lot. And it should be a lot. We do not need psycho knuckleheads getting all bent out of shape over their personal demons and then taking out their angst on perfectly innocent folks. There are too many of them try…

I want it known. It was a white connection, not a black one that placed this on my wall. Now I admit, I am up late doing some emanagement and so at this hour means my usual feed's soccer based content can be quiet. So a lesson for me on many levels. But, the best comment I read was from a guy who said, no one mentioned the rick james boots, which I think is funny. But, beyond that. I tried to find out if someone had talked to any of these whites who have done this. I saw a few white couples, or white males or females individually. But, if any of you know some media outlet that actually talked with one of these whites who did that, please share to me. Staging these events …

Summer is Rotating Away & Autumn is Coming--Wondering About the Upcoming Styles Let's Check Out the Catwalk! Well, I think these are some trying times. Sometimes I don't even want to watch the news, but with the way technology today is, it's hard to ignore it. I many times check my smartphone with one focus and then get distracted and then I'm watching crazy stuff that I never intended. Just today, I read that President Biden gave a serious warning for Americans to get out of Belarus! It seems that the Russians have moved in some nuclear weapons into that region. At any rate, sometimes, I feel that we humans should enjoy our existenc…

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/nancy-pelosi-first-woman-serve-us-house-speaker-retire-congress-2025-11-06/ Finally, after decades of holding up a California Congressional seat, Rep. Nancy Pelosi has decided it's time to retire. She's 85 years old. Before anyone goes feeling sorry for Rep. Pelosi and/or believing she needs a job to feed her family, keep in mind that she has a net worth of $120 million dollars. Nevermind that a public servant shouldn't be allowed to make that much on the job. Rep. Pelosi and her husband are very well off. Hopefully, Rep. Jim Clyburn, the sharecropper from South Carolina, will follow suit an…

President Trump Gives Ethiopians 60 Days to Leave-- & Haitians Too So, what about the Somalis? Well, I think that this is interesting to say the least! My research tells me that the Somalis are from a unique region in the Horn of Africa from the Ethiopians and at times, they had conflicts, however I also think that 'within context', both the Somalis and the Ethiopians are considered the same, especially when it comes to what is going on now.

Well, now that Spring has officially arrived replete with freezing temperatures and even snow flurries, instead of me feeling ready to emerge from the winter doldrums and take on the world with renewed vigor, i have little enthusiasm for what awaits outside my cave; an arena where i have lost interest in competing. A scenario that has degenerated into a mundane TV rerun of the past. A society that is a growing reflection of what i despise, populated by people who embody what i reject; not only Trump and his ilk, but insipid celebs in the entertainment industry, ubiquitous victims of religious mind control, the droning voices of a black community debating itself.

My name is Porscha LaDonna Garner (maiden name Johnson). I am a tutor teacher professional of all grades (K-12) normal and special education. My college education was financed with student loans that I was encouraged (by all) to use to a total of $60,000. In my ignorance I did not factor in fees or interest or bad advice and my debt now exceeds $82,000. For the next 15 weeks (see count down) I am going to tell my story here in 15 parts (with weekly video chapter updates) while I ask for donations to liquidate my debt. With your help by the end of this 15 weeks, I will be debt free. It occurs to me that student debt is benefiting banks, schools, etc... every one except the…

I got an email from a large Black-owned business with the subject line: "Buy Black with Amazon: Black is Remarkable" Amazon is so wealthy it is trivial for them to pay to co-opt the very concept of "Buying Black," as long as you are buying from or through them. I replied to the email saying that; as the owner of a Black-Owned bookstore I am sickened by this email and that the principle of "Buying Black" means buying from Black businesses. Now the company that sent the email does not need Amazon to promote Black-owned businesses. They have a large enough of a platform to do it themselves. Of course, each business would make more money …

The irony in the prayer, speeches, remarks given (and even the selection of the people giving these) during this event is endless. I wonder if anyone else will notice. Anyway, these African American men fought their hearts out in World War II for a nation that would not even allow them to fight without being in segregated units (and often only in roles of servitude). Ut;s 2012 and these men are just being honored. Why is that? Not so much why are they being honored and not even why are they just now being honored, but I mean...why now?

I watched this film on Netflix last night (yeah I could have read a book but I was too lazy). It is also available on youtube (I've posted links below). I thought Zeitgeist was fascinating. I don't know how much of it was true, but much of it resonated with me: I could not understand, from day one, how the Twin Towers simply imploded in on themselves. The collapse of build 7 simply dd not make any sense. I already knew many of the well known stories from the Bible are at the same as much older stories, and religions. I don;t even want to get started on the financial system... I appreciate that I've shared a lot of information below. If it is too much you can a…

I heard about this on the radio this morning and went to look for the video. I said to myself how bad can it be? But after looking that the video any man reading this knows the "Bishop" knew exactly what he was doing. If he behaves like this during a high profile funeral -- a FUNERAL -- I and can't image what this guy does with attractive women, in his congregation, who revere him. I normally try to ignore "news" like this, but my curiosity got the best of me; I'm only human. So CBS got me to look at and share their video. I guess there are worse things I could be doing -- like fondling the beasts of young women. @harry brown, you …

NOVEMBER 11, 2017 BY SOULFIRE THE TRUTH HURTS 2 For anyone who mistakenly believes that things have gotten better in the criminal justice system, then here’s something you need to know. It hasn’t. And guess what” You had better brace yourselves for what it to come next. It’s not going to be pretty. Most jail-breaks aren’t. At some point, perhaps, in the very near future, what is going to occur is that ex-convicts are going to start busting their friends out! Do you find this unthinkable? If so, you had better rethink the concept. Whether you know it or not, but the strongest bond between men is forged in prison, and these friendships cemented in…

Hello, I would like to have my book considered for a review. The Harlem Story, originally written as an integrated, musical screenplay, follows the journey of gifted singers raised in the church, aspiring to sing professionally. The novel incorporates R&B, gospel, and Hip Hop song lyrics and ideas from my script. In 1963, JAMES HARRIS and DIANE SMITH, gifted singers at age six, witness the murder of their parents by the Klan outside their Southern church. AUNT MILLIE, age 52, James' mother's religious aunt, flees with the children back inside the chapel. The House of God is set on fire. They are trapped inside, but a deacon arrives to rescue them. T…
