This popped up in my email box today; the Authors Guild's Open Letter to Generative AI Leaders wants OpenAI, Alphabet, Meta, Stability AI, IBM, and Microsoft to obtain consent, credit, and fairly compensate writers for the use of copyrighted materials in training AI. Good luck with that. As long as these companies have been around, they have exploited people for their content. Meta would not exist were it not for the free user generated content they exploit and monetize. Meta has never paid writers or journalists for content -- indeed many of these folks pay Meta to get people to read the content that they post on their platforms. Don't even get me…

I'd actually never seen Paula Dean prior to seeing these videos. I had no idea what she looked like and I have never seen her cooking show. My reaction to her use of the N-word was that people are over reacting. It just seems inconsistent to hold Paula to a higher standard regarding the use of the N-word in her private life than we hold a comedian or rapper who uses the word in front of thousands. I don't use the N-word or any profanity much today but as a teen and young adult I used the n-word all the time. Is was part of the way me and I peer spoke. However after seeing this video I can see how and why she would the n-word. Paul is clearly unsophisticat…

It’s bad enough that show biz divas are caught up in the latest fad, somehow convinced that the rest of the world gives a damn about their pregnancies as they flaunt their baby bumps in tight dresses that make their figures look like the question marks that come to mind with the announcement of the bizarre names chosen for the squalling little snots they pop out. Lately, another craze is invading the realm of dysfunctional circles, competing for public attention. Anorexia, bulimia, self-mutilation are not enough to evoke sympathy for skeletal starlets who hate themselves, or brooding hunks who’ve taken to poppin pills. The equal opportunity offense of being molested as a …

Both of these countries are nuclear powers, and they're trading blows right now as we speak. Is World War 3 about to break out? Even though neither nation is technically "white", anything that threatens major and massive destruction on a global scale is a potential threat to White racist hegemony because of it's destablizing effects on the global economy and infrastructure. You KNOW it's serious because earlier this morning the war was on every media outlet. India hit Pakistan with missiles and airstrikes and Pakistan shot down several Indian fighter jets. That was this morning. Now a hot war between two nuclear powers is 5th or 6th down the story lin…

LeBron James questions whether long lines in Georgia primaries are result of systemic racism LeBron James has not only become disgusted with the disturbing trend of law-enforcement officials killing unarmed black men. The Los Angeles Lakers star also pointed out how the long lines in certain neighborhoods during this week's Georgia primary elections mark yet another example of systemic racism. James was responding to a Politico reporter's tweet that election lines took hours in some Atlanta neighborhoods while there were no long waits in white, suburban areas. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/2020/06/09/lakers-lebron-james-critical-long-li…

Senators are skeptical of Trump's call for a bipartisan deal on Dreamers MmmmHmmmm...... Already Trump is showing signs of back pedaling on his mass deportation program. If he was willing to make a deal on the "Dreamers" who are also in this country illegally, why didn't he mention this when he was running? Why did he talk nothing but DEPORTATION, DEPORTATION, and MASS DEPORTATION when he was running, but now as he gets closer to stepping into the Whitehouse...all of a sudden he want to compromise? I told people about this shit.

In another read, one of our contributors who claims to be a Democrat said to another who claims to be a Republican: These may be old fashioned ideals that many Black people have gotten away from, but my question is...besides Ideal #3....does President Trump embody these ideals and how does supporting HIM enable or restore these ideals in our community? Does President Trump take personal responsibility for his behavior and indescretions? Does President Trump support funding and improving and building more institutions that educate Black children? Does President Trump support Black people being financially literate and achieving economic independen…

Yesterday without saying the words President Trump conceded. There are most likely legal and political reasons why his verbal statement has not been made. The proof of concession is the directing White House Staff to cooperate with the transition team. With that being said the American people have chosen Slavery over Freedom. Clouded by the question of skin color the American people have decided that they would rather have the United States rule them than for them to rule the Government. The proof of this is the lack of repudiation of the New Green Deal, National Mask Mandates and Higher Taxation.

Avid Trumper Amber Rose believes white people should be able to say N-word "White people should be able to say n***a," Rose said point-blank. However, Rose expanded upon her controversial take. She reasoned that if white people were allowed to say the word, it would lessen its dark history and impact. "Because when you really stop giving a f*** about stupid, dumbass words, we'll stop killing each other," she argued." Avid Trumper Amber Rose believes white people should be able to say N-word See!

A few months ago I was having a conversation with an older White woman in her 70s and we were talking about the Civil Rights movement and why so many White women today voted for and supported Donald Trump and the Republican party and she said something that made a lot of sense. She said back in the 60s and 70s White women saw the Black Power movement as an opportunity to break the strangle-hold that White men had on the reigns of power in this country and they decided to link up with us and take advantage of that collapse to free themselves. But since then, the Black power movement has waned with integration and White men have slowly gained much of their power back…

While having a discussion with Troy in another thread over an answer he got from an Artificial Intelligence search engine, I decided to enter in a few questions of my own like the origins of HIV and Crack cocaine in the U.S. Unless you are in complete denial, you pretty much almost KNOW that both HIV is man-made and that Crack cocaine was introduced to Black America to destabilize it. These are called "Conspiracy Theories" but so much evidence is out there proving them that it's almost ridiculous to deny it and play them off as "co-incidences" at this point. So I used several AI powered search engines to ask these questions just to see what they'd say and they…

"Let me plant the stake now: No black person — or Hispanic person or ally of people of color — should ever even consider voting for Michael Bloomberg in the primary. His expansion of the notoriously racist stop-and-frisk program in New York, which swept up millions of innocent New Yorkers, primarily young black and Hispanic men, is a complete and nonnegotiable deal killer. Stop-and-frisk, pushed as a way to get guns and other contraband off the streets, became nothing short of a massive, enduring, city-sanctioned system of racial terror. This system of terror exploded under Bloomberg, with his full advocacy and support. In 2002, the fir…

This video speak to why I can't get all wrapped up into the Black Panther hype. I was not familiar with all the background and the Jewish influence in defining Black culture which is notion a reject on every level -- even when it comes in the forum of Black Panther. The speaker, Todd Steven Burroughs, Marvel’s Black Panther: A Comic Book Biography, From Stan Lee to Ta-Nehisi Coates, Reginald Hudlin's and the other Black writers impact was positive and has somewhat weakened my aversion to embracing the World of Wakanda. I still ain't doing no Wakandan salute.

I've been told multiple times that I sound like a white girl( because of a "girly voice") or that I sound educated. I don't really take it as an insult because it's not always meant that way but sometimes it is. I find it troubling that black people think a black woman with a feminine voice sounds white...??? Like??? Or that I sound educated because I sound white to them??? Hmm??? I didn't grow up around white people nor am I college educated, so this how I know people are unapologetically biased against their own. 🙂

Before I tell you what happened today, let me issue a disclaimer: I don't drink/smoke. All right then.Today, I was all alone in my garden, tending to my vegetables and then, I saw.......a SNAKE! I started to be afraid, but I heard a voice saying, "Just be cool." It wasn't my conscience saying this and I knew I was alone, so I'm kinda wonderin what the heck is going on. Come to find out, it was the snake. It said, "Be cool, I don't use my mouth to bite; I use it to talk." I guess the snake could tell that I was kinda freaked out, so it took out some food and told me to help myself. OKAY... Now, please tell me how many of you believe this story and how many of you…

Neely Fuller Jr said that if you don't understand RACISM....what it is and how it works...everything else that you DO understand will CONFUSE you. He didn't say what you "think" you understand, but what you actually UNDERSTAND...will still confuse you. Why? You'll be running around scratching your head trying to figure out why there are so many homeless people, or so many sick people, why don't your insurance cover this, why are the police allowing that.... So much injustice and so many problems in this society won't make ANY sense to you, because you left the factor of RACISM (what it is and how it works) out of the equation. Take RACIS…

If the premise the question is based on is illogical....then that makes the question illogical. Take Del's question for example.............. "What if you discovered that everything you believe is wrong" First of all, if you "discovered" something....you obviously BELIEVE that which you claim to have discovered. So that discovery is part of your BELIEFS. Now if you're gonna claim that "everything" you believe is wrong....then you would HAVE to acknowledge that your recent "discovery" was wrong too since it's a part of your beliefs. However that wouldn't make any sense because for that statement to be true.....you couldn't be correct about your …

College Student Hailed As Hero After Saving 80-Year-Old Woman From Burning Home GLEN BURNIE (WJZ) — A Maryland college student is being hailed as a hero after saving a woman from her burning home in Anne Arundel County Wednesday. Family was back at the home Thursday to clean up and go through some of the things inside. This could have been much worse, if not for the help of a stranger walking by. The charred facade of Gail Johnston’s Glen Burnie home is hard to miss when driving by, but it’s what happened at the back door Wednesday afternoon that has plenty of people calling Tre Williams a hero. …

Back in my teens and 20s, I wouldn't have believed that I would feel so obliged or dedicated to people I wasn't related to or something I wasn't getting paid to do. But as we know, things and often attitudes and mentalities change with time. Now if I spend an extended amount of time away from AALBC whether it's a few days, a few weeks, or a couple months.....I feel OBLIGATED to go back and as best I can respond to all posts directed at me or about me. And also, if time permits....address posts that grab my interest even if they weren't directed at me. And it appears that most of you seem to feel the same way. ______________________________…

Your Presidency By: JonRenee Author: of Poetic Lyric Verse 1 ©2015 In 2004, I remember hearing a sermon by Pastor Trunell Felder from Chicago praying a prophetic word that, “In 2008, Barack Obama’s voice would be heard, not from his seat in the senate, but propelled in a position of presidency. Amen…..but men, have tried to bring him down and defame his character in the most disrespectful way. A black man in the white house, we thought we would never see the day….but this day, in my day, have I ever witnessed so much hate. I felt the pains of my ancestors at the same time the joy that mark the history of this day. His …

Well, it's that time again. Winter is full blown and the Leo lioness who my birth date entitles me to emulate is now in retreat. Ensconced in my woman's cave, drowsy and weary, I am now shifting into my bear mode, ready to hibernate. Slowing drifting off, I rest assured that the world will take care of itself without my advice, and the future will outlast the present without my prompting. My winning Power Ball tickets, safely tucked away, will retain their value, and my stored body fat will keep hunger at bay. Full of eager anticipation, my subconscious is ready to luxuriate in the freedom to muse without the distraction of overt reality. Yes, from time to ti…
