I’ve just created a database to track Black Bloggers, and I invite you to submit your Blogs for inclusion: http://huria.org/blogs/ The password to enter a new blog is “bloggerweek” (without the quotes). I’ve already collected data for 107 blogs. If yours was one of them please email me at info@huria.org, you’ll need to use a different password to update the information I entered. The primary purpose of the site is to showcase Black Blogs (I actually discovered some great ones building the database), and to make them more easily discoverable. I also plan to add these blogs to the Huria Search engine. Huria Search is a Google search engine whose search …

Scientists Say They've Found The Driver of False Beliefs, And It's Not a Lack of Intelligence This is why some people are so confident in their "facts".

I just uploaded a video and here was what Google's YouTube showed me. Ever since I watched the Candice Owen's Video YouTube as been showing me here videos every single day. Now it is unfortunate Google shoves these video in from of me. Does Google have a plan to marginalize Kamala Harris and discourage Black people from voting for her with these videos? I dunno, but YouTube's behavior would be indistinguishable from a planform that had that agenda

My reasoning is simple. I find in AALBc, we debate on the black community, but we often escape what the black community is in the usa or eslewhere, not what we want it to be, or what it was. If most black leaders in the usa are of a certain philosophy then if your desire doesn't fit that you will find little advance or support to that idea among black leadership and i think that is a true problem. Not completely, because all it means is that you have to find or make a smaller black community in the usa or elsewhere. It isn't a grand problem. But, many black people in the USA or elsewhere tend to communicate plans for the whole village, not the section of likeminded black …

Based on her education and work experience as a public servant and politician, VP Harris has the qualifications to do the job. There's a few thinklgs I'd like for VP Harris to do in order to better prepare herself to be POTUS: 1) Blow her nose or get the surgery to fix her voice.

The 2024 GOP field of dreamers is shrinking fast. Several folks have already dropped out of the race leaving former POTUS Orange Julius Nikki Space Cadet Haley and Gov. Ron DeStupid. Former POTUS is running away with the nomination but that's not stopping other folks from throwing away millions of dollars in a losing effort. The race for the White House will come down to two septuagenarians in November 2024: D8mn shame the most powerful country on the planet will be led by an old dude who may be wearing a diaper. 😁😎

So I am in Mexico for the next ten days. So far it has been an interesting trip. I see people that look Hispanic, Spanish, German and Indian. There's a real mix of looks. It's a place that juxtaposes the old and the new. I have seen a few women in traditional dress. Mostly it is jeans. Logos and tattoos. I saw one for with a Tupac t-shirt and another work an Jordan 23 t-shirt. Where I'm am staying I see a few prostitutes. They work day and night. When you pass a cheap hotel you see one or two. The other day I saw I guy who was both homeless and naked. Before I got to the end of the street the police were taking to him. …

“When the slaves get together, that’s the beginning of getting out of slavery.”—Martin Luther King, Jr. I'd be surprised if many people would recognize that quote coming from MLK. If they knew it was Dr, King, they probably would not recognize that it came from the famous speech he gave, the evening before he was murdered in Memphis, TN almost 49 years ago to the day, the "Mountaintop" speech. The most quoted line is, "We, as a people, will get to the promised land! I'm glad I reread this speech as I was migrating Dr. King's web page. We are misdirected with the focus nonviolent aspect of King's message. But King was keen on using economic power to win justic…

Hey everybody! I thought that this topic that I brought up would be a good discussion topic since a lot of Black Americans and Black Latinos have been discussing how they identify themselves as well as others that are apart of the African diaspora. I did a video on YouTube video; which is posted below; a while back discussing this topic and how the Black American and the Black Latino community are not as equal as we all would probably favor it to be. I would like to know what do you guys think. My video: https://youtu.be/3N9IfKEjVdY

During a conversation with an old buddy yesterday. My friend said that he did not understand all these so called Black activists who marry white people. He also said he was surprised I had not married a white woman 😲 We go back 40 years, so I was not phased by the dig, but it got me thinking... Would the founder of the largest website dedicated to Black books, a diehard advocate for black owned businesses, be a hypocrite for marrying a white woman? Would your impression of me change? Would my perceived support of the Black community be diminished? Is Clarence Thomas even more reviled by Black people because he is swirling, d…

"Well you know..... All of ya skin folk....ain't ya kin folk. Just remember that bruh! " Brothers and sisters....this is a very "catchy" phrase and a lot of people have been quoting lately, but this has the potential to be a VERY dangerous statement! I'm not sure who started it or how long it's been floating around but I've been hearing it a lot this year and a lot of people are using it for what I believe to be the "wrong" reasons. It reminds me of a term that was pretty common back in the 90s: Every brother AIN'T a brother. Brothers and sisters....... We KNOW that there are some evil and wicked Black people just like we KNOW there are some ev…

Facebook recently banned a little old lady and that reminded me of the regular emails I get from Facebook rejecting innocuous books that I've place on their site. Below are a few examples. This is not to say Facebook should not ban things, but it seems to me when it comes to Black things (people and books in this case) that their algorithm is pretty aggressive against us. Algorithms created by young white boys are inherently racist. I've mention many times how Google's algorithm coupled with their monopoly on search has distorted our images, killed Black websites, and severely hampered this one for several years. This will only get …

Biden recently nominated Ketanji Brown Jackson for the supreme court. Initially, I was proud that a black sister was finally nominated. But quickly I went from pride to disappointment when the cameras rolled over to her husband, Patrick G. Jackson, who so happens to be white. It did not help matters that Jackson stood on one side of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris (also married to a white guy) was on the other. I know many are not in favor of being told who to love but this matter goes deeper than that. For some odd, unknown reason powerful black women are migrating to white men seemingly without regard for the message this send to a black brother. Secondly, there is the uns…

This country needs more black tv commercials, we dont have enough. Hollywood isnt shoving blackness down our throats enough. Everytime I turn on the tv i dont see enough black tv commercials or black tv shows. Hahaha.. Im kidding . Its getting ridiculous! Every damn tv show or commercial is a bunch of blacks. What this tells us is that White people arent watching regular tv any longer. The garbage on mainstream Tv has turned off most white americans leaving most viewers as being black. Hollywood is going where they think the money is- black viewers. hence all the black tv commercials. Mainstream tv has nothing but garbage tv shows and so many whites have turned to alte…

In order for us to capitalize 😏 Oops! ....gain from the knowledge we collect, we must first determine what IS knowledge vs what is mere words and documentation. Key to recognizing what is knowledge is knowing the difference between EVIDENCE and PROOF. Evidence is just facts/data that support an assertion. Proof...on the other hand...is evidence that not only support it but eliminates all legitimate/reasonable doubt of it being true. For example...... One could assert that violent crime is higher in St. Louis than it is in Cincinnati. Siting statistics found online and in law enforcement and crime data books is EVIDENCE of this, but it's …

As thousands of migrants prepare to storm the country's southern border, they will definitely vie for scarce housing, medical and educational resources with Black Americans. To believe otherwise is foolish. Shelters, even emergency ones, are already jam packed, New York City and Chicago's Mayors said. So, millions will be spent housing migrants in hotels. In New York, city workers are being asked to work overtime and special pay has been earmarked for those who speak Spanish. Despite contending with two recent horrible mass shootings, Texas Governor Gregg Abbott just cannot stop attacking Latino migrants. Neither can Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. “The cart…

A fake compassion liberal who wanted to sound “ down with the cause” and called for defunding tbe police recieved a healthy dose of her own medicine this week by getting carjacked and violently beaten by four Black Men with guns in front of her young children. So now she supports the police ?? I get it, she only supports them when her own life is affected. How selfish !!! Rather than call the police, she should of called BLM. She’s not so “ down with cause” now, thats for sure. A Democratic Party leader thanked the Minneapolis police and pushed to prosecute youths "running wild" after she was carjacked Tuesday, despite previous support for dismantling th…

Do Blacks want to be segregated from whites? It seems as if they do. Many black communities are complaining about white people moving in. Blacks are claiming “ they dont look like us”. They are also saying it about asian people as well and claim blacks need their own communities. Seems a bit ironic to me as well as hypocritical. Blacks are the first to claim discrimination even when most often its their imagination. You will find countless examples of this on you tube and black radio shows. If this was the other way around, blacks would be protesting and rioting. You cannot have it both ways. Our black community needs to be much more rational and realistic. P…

Except for Xenon. Love your new user name, Babe. Hi to all my gurlfriends who, as usual, make it all worthwhile. Sorry, Troy I only give the new board a "C". "C" for cynical about change not always being better. I am still trying to figure things out. How about my hair on that goofy picture?? I've thrown in the towel, no more Clairol.

I watched Gone With the Wind for the first time last night. I was a interesting film. Apparently, the NAACP boycotted it when it came out in 1940. (Does the NAACP boycott anything nowadays?) Several of the films stars Clark Gable (I read somewhere that he is Black), Hattie McDaniels (who won an Academy Award for her role), and Vivien Leigh all died young. One of the films stars, Olivia Mary de Havilland is still running around and will be 99 in July! I knew McDaniel was the 1st Black actor to win an Oscar, however after seeing the film, it was for a role, in my opinion, no more remarkable than the one Halley Berry earned her award. Butterfly McQueen's…

This was an update written by Gwen Richardson. Dr. Ben Carson spoke at our church (Fallbrook Church in Houston) this morning at both 8:00 and 11:00 a.m. services. Many of my FB friends were interested in hearing my perspective on his presentation, so I'm posting a few details. First, there were a few dozen white congregants in the audience, more than we usually have. Fallbrook is a large church and we have some diversity but our congregation is 98% African American. This was one of the major Houston stops on Carson's book tour, which was the purpose of his appearance. He just released "A More Perfect Union," and is on a nationwide book tour. Second, his message was alm…

Well, the televised re-make of Roots came to an end and I, personally, was enriched and educated by ignoring calls to boycott it. I have yet to see the gangsta rap film, "Straight Outta Compton", which I assume would be Snoop Dog's preference for black folks to watch instead of a saga about slavery, but I don't think it could have been any better than this re-make of Roots. In critiquing this TV special, I am not inspired to give a long detailed analysis. My impression of it can be summed up in a paragraph. IMO, Roots was in the genre of a classic, character-driven epic and was well-produced, well-directed, well-cast and well-acted. Its in-depth portrayal of the …

As I spend countless hours over the last few days in the tedious task of migrating content to my database I've been listening to Youtube videos. The following is of journlist and writer Christopher Hitchens who discusses in great detail the criminal activity of Bill Clinton Man if you listen to Hitchens go on about Bill Clinton, I'm not sure confident he would vote for Hillary as Sam Harris seems to be. Now Hillary is not Bill, but sheesh she supported and presumably had knowledge of everything he did, and even ran with her own schemes. I see now that Frank and Clare from Netflix's House of Cards are based upon Bill and Hillary. It did not dawn on me until …
