It seems the prospect of alien visitations are likely given the variety of sightings that have been reported. It does not seem like anyone cares very much. It is like the country uttered a collective, “meh.” Why should I be surprised; 600,000 dead Americans from COVID doesn’t invoke alarm, why would little green men?

After discussing the dangers of AI on here yesterday, I happened to listen to an interesting exchange on the need for our people to "ride the Artificial Intelligence wave", between Brother Rich and 19 Keys last night. It only lasts a few minutes out of the entire interview and can be found starting at the 2 hour and 24 minute mark: I must admit, when he said "You have to be aware of everything in order to control everything"....that was powerful. Whether we invented it or agree with it, we should atleast know about it and understand it as completely as possible in order to ascertain whatever benefits we can and use…

Until Death Do Us Part: 8 Reasons For Marital Failure Amongst African Americans By Dr. Umar Abdullah-Johnson, Psy.D., NCSP, M.Ed. Nationwide (November 6, 2011) -- Discussions about the epidemic are everywhere, from the latest best-selling novels to academic discussions on college campuses, to passionate discussions between Frat brothers & Sister circles. The question everyone wants answered is "WHY?" Unfortunately, many of the traditional reasons you have been given for the premature romantic meltdowns amongst Blacks are inaccurate and insufficient. These very same factors were present when successful Black marriages, created 30 or 40 years ago, w…

(1938-1997) Fela Anikulapo-Kuti The Father of Afro-Beat Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, previously Ransome-Kuti, was born in Abeokuta, Nigeria, in 1938. His family belonged to the Egba branch of the Yoruba tribe. His father, like his grandfather, was a minister of the Protestant church, and director of the local grammar school. His mother was a teacher, but later became a politician of considerable influence. As a teenager, Fela would run for miles to attend traditional celebrations in the area, already feeling that the authentic African culture of his ancestors ought to be preserved. His parents sent him to London in 1958, but rather than study medicine like his two …

So, it’s Thanksgiving day, and I’m at my grandaughter’s place, settling down to dig into my full plate of turkey and all the trimmings, patiently explaining to an outside guest why a woman my age decided to get 2 tattoos over the past 7 years. When my oldest son off-handedly referred to me as the family matriarch, I almost choked on my sweet potatoes. Matriarch. The word sounded so sedate and sedentary, but as I looked around the gathering at my 3 sons, 2 daughters, 8 grand children and 3 great grandchildren, figures of all ages, sizes, shapes and colors, milling around the rooms, I was suddenly struck by the idea that if it wasn’t for me none of them would be here.

It looks like Amazon is raising the price of their prime service to $99, but it is still available for $79 for a year. Click this link for a 30 Day Free Trial (This is an affiliate link I get $2 if you do the free trail). I don't personally recommend things unless I use it or actually support it. I have been a prime member for a few years. On one hand I complain that Amazon is essentially the only place left where you can buy a Black book and on the other hand I suggest, and use, a service that feasts the beast exacerbating the problem. A hypocrite, I know. Fighting the Amazon's, Googles, and Facebooks of the worlds is a uphill, thankless, and frustrati…

Universal Basic Income.

Where are all the beautiful, powerful, black-skinned females from mythology and history? They were erased by Western art, argues Sophia Smith Galer. By Sophia Smith Galer BBC, January 16, 2019 It’s a complex story – of European racism as well as how useful black biblical figures were to those who wanted to teach religion through art – that helps to explain the absence of black figures in art history. For Michael Ohajuru on his art tours, that’s why it’s all the more important to try and locate the few representations of the black Queen of Sheba and the black Andromeda – and to find out why they disappeared. The huge influence that Western art history…

"Ta-Nehisi Coates told lawmakers at a House committee hearing that the debate over reparations is “a dilemma of inheritance.” Coates called out Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for saying a day earlier that reparations were not “a good idea” because no one who is currently living is responsible. Coates told lawmakers that many of the inequalities created by slavery persist today, including in the form of economic and health disparities." It is a wonder people like Mitch McConnell, without basic understanding of a simlle issue can rise to power. Just another inducation of just how shitty America's political process is.

Dear Friends, Last year marked our 55th anniversary in the publishing business. We are very proud to have built the oldest, independent, continuously operating Black publishing company in the nation. In October, we celebrated with gusto and invited our supporters, friends, authors and family to our headquarters to commemorate with us. The winter season is traditionally busy for us as we fill holiday orders for the Kwanzaa and Christmas gift giving season. This year however, our efforts were dampened when a water pipe burst beneath our building on a Friday night and quickly flooded the entire basement. Unfortunately, the flooded area housed the majo…

Hi everyone, My name is Dan, and I am an ignorant white fool. I am also a college student who enjoys writing fiction, even though I’m not the best at it. Over the past couple years, I’ve somehow managed to concoct a strange, rather idiotic scifi/fantasy novel whose major themes include race and inequality. It's 700 pages of ramblings on things I know nothing about. Even in my laughable ignorance, though, I do believe that the issues I have written about are important. I study sociology at my college, and I have taken classes, attended talks, and done a lot of reading on the topics in my book - but there are elements of racism and bigotry, I hav…

When I heard that Roland Martin lost his talk show, my first impression was damn don't tell me Roland sexually abused someone too! I have not dug deeply into the reason for the show's pending cancellation, so I don't really know why it is being cancelled. I was not a fan of Martin's show and did not watch it. I caught a few youtube videos and I just did not vibe with Marin's personality. His show was one of a shrinking number of political talk shows and I would rather have his show exist than for it not to exist. That might sound like a contraction, but it really is not. We have so few platforms where Black people can talk about Black issues with…

Picture 1994: “This is a great script. Let’s get Julia Roberts to play Harriet Tubman,” said the then-president of a studio sublabel. Fortunately, there was a single black person in that studio meeting 25 years ago who told him that Harriet Tubman was a black woman. The president replied, “That was so long ago. No one will know that.” —The Los Angeles Times, November 19, 2020. Plowing through my emails this morning. I got an email with the subject, "Julia Roberts as Harriet Tubman?" I immediately deleted the email, but something told me to undelete it and read what as in the email -- only because the person who sent it was an elder and respected author. If …
