Regardless of what you might think of Roland, we desperately need MORE programs like this not less. I knew Koreans had a lock on Black Hair care but I had no idea how serious it was. Shoot, we should open up Chinese take out restaurants too. Here is the full documentary referenced above. We need to own this industry nationally. The Bronner Bros are large in ATL, why is this not replicated in other cities?

Half of the American's can not afford to buy the cheapest new car ($14,000); either they do not have the money to pay for it or the credit score to borrow the money. This he argues is one of the reason 45 was elected. YouTube definitely knows what videos to show me, because there was nothing this guy said that I disagreed with. The only difference is that he has data (and research) support my observations. Actually there were two other differences, the situation is actually a little worse than I thought, and there are actually solutions that can be implemented to fix all of this, but they would have to take place on a global scale. I…

I AM INTERESTED IN A REVIEW. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. Paperback: 210 pages Publisher: AuthorHouse (February 19, 2018) Language: English ISBN-10: 1546225706 ISBN-13: 978-1546225706 Contact information: Peggy Allen Towns What is the picture of inequality? Is it race, gender, ethnicity, age, or place? Time and time again, our American history gives us the answer to that age-old question. In 1933, attorney Samuel Leibowitz argued that it was disparity in the jury pool and the innocence of nine. Sadly, the horrible malignancy of racism continues to exist and is the primary root of many prejudices and inequalities in ou…

Hey people! I have decided to bring up another topic about Black culture and people. The topic I want to discuss is African American Soul Food vs. African Food. Soul food has been apart of American fabric for a very long time. Although, the remnants of soul food have come from our history here in the country. Fried chicken came from Europe, Corn Bread came from the Native Americans and chitterlings came from the scraps that the African slaves made a meal out of. On the other hand, African food is a mix of beans, plantains, chicken, goat, corn and yucca root amongst other things. Some may say that there is nothing wrong with Soul food since that is apart of who we are but …

We already read about dark skinned-women being discriminated against and given a bad time. I wanted to change the game on several fronts with Ruthless Pamela Jean. Instead of being bulled for being too dark, Pamela is bullied and nearly killed by bullies for being too light. I loved writing this book. I aimed to make the bullied stronger through Pamela Jean. Her father was not in the home. Her mother was just plain tired and had given up. By 8 years of age, Pamela made a decision. She decided to work on helping herself. She set goals to indoctrinate herself into a man's pimp game and changed the world. Pamela also realized that when men leave some women, there are a conti…

@DelRegarding your current deconstruction of time, to me and some others, it seems as if time, or what I perceive as time, has sped up. Tempus fugit! It's like we just celebrated the advent of 2021 and in a blink of the eye, the year is almost over! This perception trickles down into other representations of time in my life. I identify a day as being Monday, and then before i get oriented, it's the week-end! Just recently, I lost a whole day! When I was getting my recyclables together to put out on what I thought was Thursday, my daughter informed that it was Friday. My advancing age probably has something to do with this and the fact that I have no schedule to keep.…

From youtube: Iddris Sandu discusses his journey from a young aspiring engineer to a technologist, as well as the role of technology as an agent for sustainable change in the Black Lives Matter movement (in the US, the diaspora, and across the continent of Africa). Paving the way for those who might one day be deemed an "Architectural Technologist", Iddris Sandu is a pioneering young technologist seeking to level the playing field for fellow African youth & other marginalized groups. Having worked with the likes of creatives such as Nipsey Hussle and Louis Vuitton & Off-White's Virgil Abloh, Iddris has been making waves since before he turned 18. Not only is Iddri…

“At IBPA PubU, Black Indie Publishers Call for Audacity and Advocacy“ and an article from Publishers Weekly about our panel from this weekend in San Diego. In my opinion, the best quote from the article was: Everyone on the panel “came out of the struggle” for civil rights, said Coates, who opened Black Classic Press in 1978. “Wade as a young man was involved in the Civil Rights Movement in Louisiana. Haki is still one of the foundational members of the Black Lives Movement. Kassahun was with the Eritrean Liberation Front. Myself with the Black Panther Party. These are people who carried the struggle forward and had it bloom in publishing.” …

https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/19/politics/lloyd-austin-testify-lawmakers-hospitalization/index.html Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was appointed by and reports to POTUS Biden. He secretly went into the hospital to have a medical procedure. Didn't tell his boss about it but POTUS was cool. Wished him well. However, the GOP in Congress are demanding that Secretary Austin testify before them to explain his disappearing act. Ridiculous. As NF Jr. might say in mocking white folks...boy, come in here and set down because you've got some 'splainin' to do about your whereabouts and why you didn't tell us your business...boy.🤣 Hopef…

BLACK HISTORY? Little Tin Horn Soldier Meaning– Miseducation Revisited: [Part 2 of 3] The Incredible BRONZE AGE & the Discovery of A Rare BLACK Metal For some strange reason, during the set up of the Colonial Empire, a major movement occurred at some point to deliberately [1] Change dates and times, and also [2] hide certain aspects of ancient history that revolve around ancient Africa and the Old Mediterranean Civilizations. For this reason, today, many people of African descent might find it interesting to revisit this crucial aspect of African history. One method that was used to hide a major aspect of Black History was that a lo…

The Only One Chapter 11 Much to her dismay, as days passed, Carole Everly found herself begrudging Debbie Marlowe her “happy gene”. Of course it didn’t help that if the attention of Troy Briggs was what made Debbie happy, she didn’t need a gene to keep her smiling, - something Carole wasn’t doing much of thanks to the glumness caused by her fixation on Troy Briggs. Troy Briggs - Mr. Contrariness, himself; the heart-throb who was giving her heart-burn, turning her into a smoldering spy. True, there was nothing brazen about their interaction but Carole discerned that a subtle flirtation was going on between Troy Briggs and Debbie Marlowe. She detec…

I've been changing and reconsidering my political positions and the way I think about society period over the past few weeks, but several incidents that I've witnessed the past few days are really accelerating those reconsiderations and changes. I've suspected it for a while, but I'm begining to believe more and more it's not White Racism that is the main reason so many AfroAmericans are in the condition they find themselves in today, but Black Ignorance/Stupidity. Both seem to feed off eachother, but Black Ignorance/Stupidity seems to take precedence and may very well be a major reason White Racism was able to flourish so through out history in the first place. I'm…

It is not the biggest home office I ever had, but it is the most comfortable. While I miss socializing, I also appreciate how truly lucky I am. I'm not saying I don't have challenges, but relatively speaking... I called a longtime buddy of mine yesterday, a physician, he is in the hospital, on oxygen, as a result of Covid19. He told me he had gotten so sick that he wished he had died. Fortunately, he will recover. My friend is wealthy. I think about all the poor people, in his situation, that have died painful deaths, alone, and scared. Will this prompt Americans to fight stop a system that increase wealthy inequality and h…

But THEY....with their racially ambiguous and vulgar selves.....are being promoted as the preferred representation of "the Black woman". This is what I was telling Nnamdi…

https://www.uncletom.com/ UNCLE TOM II "Uncle Tom II is an odyssey depicting the gradual demoralization of America through Marxist infiltration of its institutions. The film explores how this deceptive ideology has torn apart the fabric of society while using black America as its number one tool for its destruction. From Executive Producer Larry Elder and Director Justin Malone, comes the continuation of their highly acclaimed film, Uncle Tom (2020). Uncle Tom II will take the audience deeper into black America’s often eradicated history of honorable men, entrepreneurship, prosperity, faith, and patriotism, to its current perceived stat…

@Cynique From Wikipedia In the religion of theosophy and the philosophical school called anthroposophy, the Akashic records are a compendium of all universal events, thoughts, words, emotions and intent ever to have occurred in the past, present, or future in terms of all entities and life forms, not just human. They are believed by theosophists to be encoded in a non-physical plane of existence known as the mental plane. There are anecdotal accounts but no scientific evidence for the existence of the Akashic records.[1][2][3] Akasha (ākāśa आकाश) is the Sanskrit word for "æther", "sky", or "atmosphere".[4] Naming the ability to record data; Akas…

Every time i get an external reply of quality to the following post i reposted elsewhere I will add, the reply is after the forum link below The reply I don't see leadership on a broad scale, as far as movements comparable to those of the past. As far as which movements have the most disciples in modern day, I don't think there's a right answer for that. People are likely influenced by a combination of theories or ideals from each. If we're talking activism, I think it has been resigned to social media. A lot of talk and outrage for the internet, but no mobility. my reply @MissArquay hmmm You pose four great questions in my mind. At least…

BLACK HISTORY? Little Tin Horn Soldier Meaning– Miseducation Revisited [Part 1 of 3] I recently enjoyed watching one of my favorite episodes of the late Angela Lansbury’s series, Murder She Wrote, Season 5, starring the late Richard Roundtree and this very subject was mentioned. In this episode, the crew of the airplane called ‘the Dixie Damsel’ was asked to come back to the base because the once lost airplane was found in the Alaskan snow, but also there was a dead body of one of the flight crew that was in the plane. So one high ranking military man, General Habermeyer, a White man, was angrily referred to as ‘a little tin horn soldier’. And late…

This fella went on a shooting spree down in Texas in wake of the US & Israeli airstrikes on Iran. The shooter killed 3 & injured a dozen or so before law enforcement laid him down. For the most part, Black folks have done a great job in minding their own bizness & staying out of these conflicts. There will be a few stray Black folks who decide to drink the Kool-Aid & ride with the BS. They do not represent the rest of us.😎

The United Center was jam-packed with all of us roaring Bull fans, and there was never a dull moment starting with the spectacular introductions of the home team's starting line up, continuing on through the time-out shows featuring tumblers, and dancing girls, and 3-point shooting contests, and rolled up souvenir T-shirts being fired into the audience from toy cannons, video sweepstakes games flashed on the huge TV screens posi…

Social media is currently a twitter with the fall-out from the stand-off between two famous black intellectuals, Cornel West and Michael Eric Dyson. Once friendly colleagues, their deteriorating relationship has gone public, each one criticizing the other‘s stance on the policies of Barak Obama who has continued to snub both of these Liberals, leaving them to sulk about not being included in the White House inner circle in reward for supporting his presidential campaign. Currently fueling the fire of this feud is the article Dyson wrote for The New Republic Magazine in which he put West in the same “has-been” category as boxer, Mike Tyson, describing him as a one-ti…

History Before the World Wide Web (WWW) became available to the general public discussion forums were quite popular on privately run bulletin boards. Operating these bulletin board required a high level of technical expertise and an significant investment of time and money to manage. Even the participants had to be tech savvy just to participate. Later corporate run platforms like AOL and CompuServe stepped in and made things much easier for everyone. Running forums, and participating in them, was made a lot easier. Of course you had to play by the rules laid down by the corporations, plus they charged monthly fee just to participate. The opening of t…

Not certain if I had posted tis before or not. It seems especially relevant both here and in your world. I have recently noticed a power dynamic. The dominant segment and the passive segment don't communicate as equals along the following lines. Wealth, Class, Race, Colour, and Sex, Northern location in the Northern Hemisphere. Southern Location in the Southern Hemisphere. This is the case in Northern, Central and South America, England, China, Australia New Zealand. Other parts of the world the dynamic. applies with fewer categories. But it applies subtlety. - Del S trachen

Please take the time to research the Max Planck Research Institution, its historical ties to Nazi Eugenics theory and racial cleansing schemes. They were a part of every Nazi horror story, including murder, torture and genocide and yet they were reestablished after world war 3 in order to continue eugenics inspired research. The Max Planck, formally the Kaiser Weilhiem Society, is now one of the leading Scientific research organization in the world. They provide curriculum, and direction in Anthropology, Archaeogenetics, Psychology and Biochemistry to prestigious universities such as Harvard, MIT, and Oxford. I strongly suspect that this organization is financed by Neo…

Please read this carefully so as not to get the wrong understanding: Unless this planet gets hit by a giant asteroid or otherwise destroyed, currently AfroAmericans pretty much have 2 directions they can go to try and increase their success: 1. Keep Trump in office so that this society can continue to deteriorate and eventually collapse. 2. Or get Biden in office so that he can clean up SOME of the mess that has been made and maintain this society. Let's take a brief and practical look at both options, shall we............ 1. If Trump stays in office, unemployment poverty and destitution …

When I use the term "black," I am referring to both the Australoid and African peoples. I think that some people who belong to other racial categories have a visible black admixture. According to anthropologists, there are two "black" races of people who look almost exactly alike but are not related. The first is the African or Negroid race which consists of all Sub-Saharan black people. Then there is the Australoid race which includes Australian aboriginals, Southeast Asian Negritos, and South Pacific Melanesians. But, both groups share phenotypical similarities of very…

RIP Harry Belafonte! Harry Belafonte, 96, Dies; Barrier-Breaking Singer, Actor and Activist In the 1950s, when segregation was still widespread, his ascent to the upper echelon of show business was historic.

I'm thankful for what I have and wish for more. Twitter has over a half-billion microbloggers active monthly users after an estimated loss of 900,000 when the South African bought it. Threads by Meta's Mark Zuckerberg has reported 275 M monthly users as of November 3, 2024. After the 2024 Presidential election, many black people are using the platform to make plans for the next revolution. How the hell do you plan a revolution on a white-owned public platform that pays allegiance to white supremacists? Anyway, I wish AALBC was the premier microblogging site - Black people 44 Million strong in America; we still don't control or …

In October, I lost my youngest twin daughter to breast cancer. She didn't have health insurance when she found out. Still, she got health insurance through Obamacare (Affordable Care Act.) Several months after cancer treatments, she went into remission after treatments. Still, she refused radiation because there was a possibility of leaving her mentally and physically disabled. By then, the cost of her treatment was nearly a quarter of a million dollars, a poisoned and mutilated body. She lost so much, but she refused to give up her way of life. The cancer treatments didn't extinguish her light, though. She was still helping others see what a gift life was …
