https://people.com/jay-z-claims-victory-as-rape-case-against-him-and-diddy-is-voluntarily-dismissed-11680508 The young lady who alleges she was violated by Jay-Z & Diddy has dropped her civil lawsuit. This is why the court of public opinion needs to be restrained until a jury makes a decision and the dust settles. Jay-Z can move on with his life. Diddy is still on the hot seat and being held at a detention cneter. I'm curious to see if/when POTUS OJ intervenes on Diddy's behalf.😎

Economic Corner 14 - the black farmer of the usa MY THOUGHTS In 1920 , white records have 925,708 Black Farmers, this doesn't include Black people still share cropping or farming through prison labor. Remember Alice [ https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=1830&type=status ; https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=1925&type=status ] How many Black people were actually farming in 1920 that did not own their own land, but were entrapped in legal while criminal situations? By 2017 the recorded number of Black Farmers in the USA is 48,697. That is 5.260514114602013% Ten percent of 925,708 is 92,570.8 so it is clear the numbe…

There's a possibility the Russia-UkraIne conflict could end sooner than later. To date, more than 2 million people in total have been unalived in that war. When the bullets and bombs stop, Ukraine still won't be a member of NATO. The Russia-Ukraine conflict was an exercise in which cousins unalived each other over a territorial dispute. These countries have destroyed lives and property at the cost of billions of dolllars. Surely, money that could have been better spent making life better for its citizens. Instead, Russians and Ukrainians were cheering for their side as if it was a sporting event. The…

This economic corner is a manipulation of a dialog between me side @ProfD side @Troy I felt it is warranted because the post it was started in is about Black Owned Websites and while the overall dialog with Troy maintained a focus on black websites, the dialog between me side profd did not. So I placed my replies to their post within the multilog, with no demand to a reply. A majority of blacks in the usa are individualist and that isn't a negative thing. It is something born from being in majority terrorized by whites from the early 1500s to circa 1980. Black people have done everything possible in the usa to nonviolently grow. Everything possible. The failure was…

Economic Corner - what is the truth of investment in the sport industry in the usa? Key points One hundred and fifty million is the most recent value of starting a WNBA franchise , fifty million initially and then one hundred million through promised infrastructure plans. The WNBA franchise in Chicago was started for five million dollars, in Oprah Winfrey's beloved town, by a white man who had less money than Oprah, and was absent any promises of future investment. No major league, major league defined as a team determined the primary athletic tier, from the NFL to the National Women's Hockey League has a black owner. For example, baseball has a black owner in…

https://apnews.com/article/egg-prices-record-bird-flu-a2394bdefc7bd0514d4f003cc5e8a908 In the US, egg prices are steadily going up from a bird flu outbreak. Millions of birds have been affected and will not be making it to a nearby belly.😁 Interestingly, the price of chicken isn't rising too. Neither in grocery stores, fast foo places or restaurants. 🤔 Like a gallon of gas, egg prices seem to be one of those things that can be rsised and lowered arbitrarily.😎

They Not Like Us!? WOW! 2025 Super Bowl Half Time Show--Unforgettable! I am BLOWN AWAY! More than Music--that has been the take away from the words of well, Lamar himself! This performance is said to be controversial especially too because, not only did Kendrick perform his song, Not Like Us, but towards the end of the performance, Serena Williams was featured doing the Crip Walk! Many people are outraged about Serena's performance, but her husband came to her defense. And then there was the performance of Sza that was also wonderful. What a vocalist. She dazzled. Kendrick Lamar & Sza …

What!? Serena Williams Does the Crip Walk at the 2025 Super Bowl Half Time Show! What a show! Man! It was awesome! Controversial but nonetheless dynamic! I really thought that the Super Bowl performance with Snoop et al. could not be matched, but I think that this one was insane! I'm not schooled well on the Rap industry but I now am learning about the heavy hitters and am impressed. I've never really heard about Kendrick Lamar and I vaguely remember that he was part of the other Super Bowl too, but now, I am schooled. I also vaguely remember his music being featured in a major gymnastic college competition too. Back then, I did not realize that h…

Talk about redundancy. As there is a war on fraud, waste and abuse in government spending being investigated by DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), there is already a group of folks who are supposed to be doing that work. The US House Committee of Oversight and Accountability has the same responsibility. A bipartisan body is split down the middle between doing their jobs and supporting DOGE. DOGE was stood up by POTUS OJ. The quasi-agency is headed by the unelected, South African, Elon Musk. A billionaire who has conflicts of interest due to his government contracts. POTUS OJ has given Musk the latitude to find $…

The promotional copy reads; "Since 1827, when Freedom’s Journal, the first newspaper to be published by free Black men in the United States, Black folks have been making use of the media technologies available to them to tell their own stories in their own ways." There is own important, and obvious, difference between Freedom's Journal and Twitter (I know it is called "X" now). Black people owned Freedom's Journal! the failure to make that distinction, and to use this as a Twitter as an example of Black people using media to tell our own stores in our own way is ludicrous! First, Twitter uses an algorithm to determine which tweets get e…

I'm surprised the good Professor @ProfD didn't post this already. A father, brother, friend, educator, master teacher, and social scientist.....among many many other things has passed away a couple of days ago. The Honorable Neely Fuller Jr. As students of his philosophy we are deeply indebted to the contributions he's made over the past 60 plus years educating AfroAmericans about the actual SCIENCE of Racism and how it operates. He was 95 years young. May our father and master teacher rest in peace and power!

N*tflix has a docuseries coming about OJ Simpson. The man was acquitted 30 years ago. He's been dead for almost 1 year. Yet, white folks still seem to be obsessed with the OJ thing. It unnerves them that as far as they're concerned, a Black man got away with murder. Nevermind there's no shortage of theories surrounding how those people were unalived. White folks refuse to let the OJ case go but tas soon as we brimg up slavery, racism and reparations, their response is that it happened a long time ago or they weren't responsible despite benefitting or it doesn't exist and Black folks should let it go. I believe Black folks s…

As we start the second week of Black History Month, we hope this email will be an encouraging reminder of companies that are doing the work. Institutions that have made sharing our stories their mission. Black-owned publishers that celebrate Black people, Black culture, and Black histories in their books all year round. We’re proud to be one of them. Let’s pour into these institutions! Read their books. Buy directly from their websites if you can. (Many carry titles that are difficult to get elsewhere.) Recommend their books. Check them out at your local library, and if they’re not on the shelves — request them. Share and comment on their social med…

I just watched 6 seasons of The Chi it took me about 6 weeks to get through it. A friend recommended it to me, and she expressed an interest in my opinion. I found it interesting enough to get through it but on a scale of 1 to 10 id give it a 6. You really had to suspend disbelieve to get all the plot lines and the overlapping characters. @Pioneer1's post about Smoking Weed was what made me think about The Chi. Smoking weed was such a big part of the series -- almost everyone smoked weed constantly. They were smoking it, growing it, selling it and killing over it. It was a major character of the series. Another big part of the serie…

As a huge fan of boxing, I have to chuckle when I hear, read and see anything comimg from the Left. The Democrats are beginning to look and sound like the opponent who lost the fight but refuses to accept they got knocked out. There's a point in some fights where the dominant fighter toys with the whupped opponent. From wind up punches to putting a glove on top of the head and puffy eyes, bloody nose, unlike Rocky movies, the outcome is clear who won the fight. POTUS OJ won. Proving that he's more fit than POTUS PJB, 47 is all over the place from the White House signing executive orders to visiting wildfires and hurricane …

I always felt the gov't was aware of the drones and most likely responsible for them too.😎

TikTok is the first non usa website to be the biggest esocial website in online humanity. If bytedance sells TikTok wholesale it is a financial mistake Bytedance should sell tiktokusa not tiktok. In Europe/South America/Africa/Asia tiktok is the big leader in the world, selling it completely to a usa buyer is a usa win. It is like the Japanese automakers making manufacturing plants in the usa, when they through competition won the economic car market, it is a usa win. Make TikTokusa TTU and make sure tiktokusa has contractual arrangements that demand an integration/association with TikTok.

Somewhere between $81-$102k will allow a buyer to drive away from a Tesla dealer in a Cybertruck. Range is about 300 miles per charge. I've seen a few Cybertrucks around here. Every time I see one my 1st thought is that it looks like something a team of nerds built.🤣 The owner of a. Cybertruck could never go incognito in it. Looks like an attention-seeking vehicle. If I was going to buy an EV pickup truck in this price range, I'd go with the GMC Hummer: Of course, since I preach against gross consumerism, I wouldn't buy either one of them.😁😎

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 …

According to reports this comet was seen this past January 2023 but now it is closest to our earth beginning October 13 and can be seen until October 19, 2024. Some report that it will be as big as the planet Jupiter! It is located low on the horizon in the western sky and can be seen after sunset. It is good still though, to have binoculars. Could this comet have something to do with the recent hurricane Helene and hurricane Milton!? While I believe in climate change, however, I also believe that certain celestial objects do have a part of this climate change too. Oh yes, there is also suppose to be another major comet that showed up near…

Then, in a speech to Alternative for Germany (AfD), a far-right, anti-immigration party, Musk tells them there is "too much focus on past guilt" referring to the Holocaust. In the span of 2 weeks, Musk has displayed that which is considered antisemitic behavior. To date, the ADL (Anti-Defamation League) and Jewish community has not denounced him. We know for a fact that W…

Black Immigrant Contestants in the Miss America Pageant 2025 Black Immigrant Contestants in the Miss America Pageant 2025 On the subject of immigration, I thought it was interesting that a few of the Black contestants of this years Miss America pageant were immigrants. In my opinion, it seems to me that this was the ultimate goal, anyway of America from its origin. This government formed in a land that was well inhabited and from the beginning, they intended on setting up an immigrant government after violently killing off many innocent peoples. This government justified killing off millions of American Indians for various reasons that today …

The new administration clown car just pulled off 2 weeks ago. Already, one of the clowns is already in full performance mode. Secretary of Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem is doing ride-a-longs with ICE agents. Secretary Noem is a cabinet-level official dressing up like she's going to jump out and arrest folks. Nevermind that border czar Tom Homan is already stomping around in the same capacity. POTUS OJ is reopening Guantanamo Bay to hold up to 30K detainees prior to deportation. White folks are having a field day with rounding up immigrants they believe are a threat to America.😎

The Miss USA Pageant & the Surprising Number of Black Contestants 2024 What a big change this year! It makes me wonder what kind of politics are behind this event even more. Last year, there were a lot of hype about certain Hispanic contestants and now, all of a sudden, it seems, the shift of spotlight has concentrated on the Black girls!? So not only was the big news of how the runner up to Miss Universe was Miss Nigeria USA, but on our side of the water were the many Black beauties too, that won some titles. Like Miss Nigeria USA, however, there were several Black immigrant contestants from Africa in both the Miss America pageant and t…

DeepSeek and the quality of usa finance MY THOUGHTS 600 billion dollars. Nvidia lost 17th percent of its value in a day . Like many USA firms or industries outside military products, they are weak from the 1900s to today. DeepSeek said it cost 5 million dollars to produce a product rivaling any comparative computer program in storage/speed/calculation at 1/20th of the cost. So this proves the value of the usa firms is incorrect. which is my issue. Tesla was given such a high value. The USA's financial environment allows for a bloating of firms, like Nvidia, like Tesla that to be blunt, have each lost huge market shares which they shouldn't. The fact that the best…

An example of things to come begins with the newly inaugurated Trump's plans to round up and deport illegal immigrants who are presumed to be criminals, even as he issues a pardon to the thousands of January 6th rioting insurrectionists who tried to overturn a Presidential election and lynch the Vice President, seriously injuring several law enforcement officers in the process. "Our way or the highway" will obviously be the mission statement of the newly- elected regime and its bigoted and oligarch followers. (All under the supervision and approval of King Donald's Prime Minister, Elon Musk.) "Welcome to the new Golden Age that will make America grea…

Donald Trump may be the uniting divisive President in history.

What she misses is a crossroads of three things. First, the studios want to maximize profit, which means they want to use media properties they already own and attract the most sales. Second, the properties studios own are quite old, decades old, centuries old and tend to be created by white people of european descent filled with mostly characters described in appearance or culture as white of european descent, which has the problem of not being as attractive to non whites than non white characters. Third, the modern buyers of media content are not overwhelmingly , overwhelmingly meaning seventy five percent or more , of white European descent and the studios want to cate…

The incoming POTUS will take credit for keeping the lights on at TIkTok. The CEO of TikTok will be attending pre-inauguration events too. In the meantime, TikTok parent company, ByteDance, is looking for $40-$50 billion dollars to sell it to an American company. I don't use the platform so buying into it is of no interest to me.😁😎

@Delano, I trust you are your's are safe. However I was wondering it the inferno raging across the country you live in has changed your opinion on climate change. The reason it occurred to me is the U.S.'s coverage, of the Australian coverage, of the unprescenced fires raging across your continent. Apparently, Rupert Murdoch's media conglomerate is doing everything in its power to push the agenda that climate change is not a factor in the fires. This led me to believe Murdoch's influence may be -- even unconsciously -- influencing your stance on man.s influence on the climate. Media also made me think about our bets in 45 presidency. You and @Ka…

Sports talk, loud-mouth, Stephen A. Smith weighed in on the criticism. All 3 dudes are already millionaires. They had their own reasons for performing at the event. There's no such thing as having too much money. No matter how it's spun, I believe the color green was their primary motivation. Just like anybody else, rich entertainers will put their politics aside in order to get paid.😎

Today is the holiday acknowledging the legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Yet, there is hardly any media coverage of it. Unfortunately, the pageantry of the POTUS inauguration has literally trumped Rev. Dr. MLK Jr's holiday. There are events commemorating the legacy of Rev. Dr. MLK Jr's happening around the country. Hopefully, they are getting local coverage.😎

The recent fires that have ravaged Altadena, CA and Pacific Palisades, CA have something unique in common.

Each of the(se) two areas impacted, sit(s) directly at the foot of towering mountain ranges and take in majestic views.

The porn industry has always been active or alive, the key is where is it legal or allowed to be legal.

This weekend is supposed to be cold enough here to warrant moving the inauguration swearing-in ceremony indoors.

@frankster I'm not sure why you would find the concept of "degrees of Blackness" so much more divisive. It's not like AfroAmerica hasn't ALREADY been divided since it's inception by degrees of Blackness. Most mixed and light skinned people have historically enjoyed privileges that the majority of our people weren't privy to, whether they asked for those privileges or not. In the past most mixed and light skinned people saw themselves not only as different than other AfroAmericans but in many ways BETTER than other AfroAmericans. Today this isn't so much the case AS MUCH as it was in the past...but it's still there in many circles. Infact, many AfroAmer…

TikTok banning on book publishing MY THOUGHTS 1) tiktok is the most popular website in modern humanity so replacing its algorithm joined to its userbase will be a challenge- many websites will try but i think many will fail, an expensive failure 2) outside a website with a similar userbase size [google/meta] a website with a smaller relative userbase that succeeds with a sharper marketing style will lack the exposure or outreach of a larger userbase 3) Book readers will survive and at the end of the day the Booktok model will survive maybe mirrored in various places that will require book lovers to know where to be online.
