Culture, Race & Economy

I can't but help getting the impression that black culture believes that as a result of the wait of a new president that their problems are going to magically disappear. Truth of the matter, in days of slavery there were good masters and ruthless masters (slave owners). However, the people were still slaves to some slave owner (good or ruthless). Nevertheless, a huge percent of the black culture today are so distracted with trying to manipulate the image of what freedom is that we have been pulled right back into slavery thinking that Biden/Harris is going to give us our papers to freedom. As long as Nike, Eddie Bauer, Michael Kors, Versace, bling, wigs, nail shops, c…

This woman was amazing! We should have been taught by her as children. She breaks it down here. http://colossill.com/the-cress-theory-surviving-racism-in-the-21st-century/

Back in 2020 I wasn't for Kamala Harris as Biden's VP. I felt at the time there were more Progressive Black women in Congress who were better suited like Barbara Lee also from California. But then again I was also for Bernie Sanders until Biden got the nomination. At times she has struggled as Vice President but she's persistent and willing to take the fight to Republicans. Now she's likely to be the Democratic nominee, and if she wins President. What will that mean for Black people? We would benefit from certain policies in a Harris administration just like that of Biden. But it's not likely that Harris will do anything significant that's race specific like…

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/elections/ Maybe it was inevitable given the tide of hysteria But there was also the clumsy politicking of the Democrats 1) They realized that their base included younger voters,esp college students. Once they had it in the bag instead of keeping all of them involved, like Republicans do their young, they told them to go home and sit down that they had it. Primarily ex legislators, they thought all they needed to do was get some bomb legislation over and everybody would go along. Wrong. 2) They knew they were in trouble when they lost Ted Kennedy's seat. They should have at least been campaigning like they a…

The argument about penis size as it relates to the sex act, seems to be ongoing; "the bigger the better" being the consensus. But, I suspect there are no figures to support that claim, just as there is no concrete evidence that large penises are an inborn trait of black males, thereby making them better sex partners. And the point made in the girl-talk discussions I've been privy to for over 50 years has always been, it's not what you have, but what you do with what you have. Technique and good staying power favorably compete with a large member which can cause pain and injury. Interestingly enough, "width" got just as good marks as "length", making short…

Black Santa Prank I hope I don't offend anyone, but if so, please let me know so I can make amends here. A few months back, my son showed me this youtube, and because, on a more sober note, I am sharing a deep message about the true oppressions of this ancient history about Ole Saint Nick, and because these 'comic relief' made me laugh, I thought it okay to share a little light hearted youtube about this spin off of 'Black Santa'-- or maybe Brown Santa, or maybe even White Santa... My son showed me this youtube in the parking lot while getting fuel and I thought it was so hilarious, I laughed till I cried. And I just ran a…

Black Conservatives are more visible and vocal than ever. They are writers, thinkers, media personalities, and politicians. Whether you agree or disagree they cannot be dismissed. What are they doing to help black people? Could this be the wrong question? Maybe it's about individualism not black people. But how can black people be free individuals while being defined and denied things as a particular group. That is the problem with systemic racism. Yet Conservatives including blacks on the Right don't believe systemic racism is responsible for problems faced by blacks. They blame government policies that foster dependency and encourage racial stri…

Looks like my girl Candy O is back at it again! Fox News guest Candace Owens claims Meghan isn’t Black enough to be a victim of racism During an appearance on Fox News, conservative activist Candace Owens said that Meghan Markle is not Black enough to have been a victim of racism. In an interview on Sean Hannity’s show on Wednesday night, Ms Owens, who is Black, gave her opinion on a number of the talking points from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s interview with Oprah Winfrey. Ms Owens called Ms Markle a “typical leftist narcissist” and said that she had seen the “t…

@Pioneer1, mentioned, in an off-handed comment on another conversation, a number of prominent Black women with white husbands. While I don't care who people marry, it got me thinking about the number of prominent Black women (non entertainers) who don't chose ADOS husbands. While we celebrate the 1st Black president and Kamala Harris (married a white guy) neither are ADOS. Is this a racist conspiracy against us as Pioneer1 would probably say, or is it a consequence of ADOS being less desirable because we've allowed ourselves to be weakened by our fixating on race, as I believe @daniellegfny would suggest. Candice Owens (married a white…

There is no simply no stopping our women! The Associated Press Serena Williams and Ruby Bridges will be inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame in 2024 year, adding the tennis great and civil rights icon to a list of women to be honored during Women’s History Month in March. “The 2024 inductee class has broken barriers, challenged the status quo, and left an impact on history,” the Hall of Fame said in its announcement. Eight other honorees were announced in the spring. Williams and Bridges became available after the date and location of the ceremony were changed, a spokesman said. Williams, 42, is a 23…

A lot of this is based off of state Representatives Ed Vaughn and Henry Stallings opinions back in the '90s. It increases black representation demographically and politically. The more people who are considered black, the more unified the support of what is left of such causes like as equals rights, affirmative action, and voting rights since they are under attack by the Supreme Court and state Republican legislators across the country. Many pro civil rights figures in the past have been light skinned such as State Representative Adam Clayton Powell Jr and Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. Walter White,…

What is the United Nations Doing About HAITI? And, can anything be done to help the people, especially the children? I read that a Biden Administrator just recently resigned because he disagrees with the Biden administration's actions. Apparently, many Haitian's fled to Mexico and thereabouts after the 2010 earthquake and are now being deported back to Haiti by the Biden administration. And many of them were actually born in Mexico and have never been to Haiti, so obviously many of them being sent to Haiti are children and teen agers! Lately, I have been doing a little research about Haiti and I am honestly very surprised about what I have …

This incident went viral pretty quickly. Wow this woman even tried to intimidate a young White girl who also be enraged at her brazen behavior! That was too much for me. What in the world is going on in America? The tension.... the racial tension....

She reportedly issued an apology to the young boy while speaking in front of a television reporter’s camera after seeing that he did not grab her…

I am to be counted among the small percentage of the population who harbors a simultaneous deep love and a heart-wrenching disappointment with my country. I can’t say that I hate my country by any stretch of the imagination because I adore the people, places, and events that have shaped my identity but to suggest that I have a God-Bless-America-Of-Thee-I-Sing blanket patriotism would be disingenuous as well. I love my nation but I see her flaws and shortcomings. I do not hate my country but I hate some of the aspects of it that taint its supposed greatness. I see myself first and foremost as a citizen of the world; my life and my story are reflected in the eyes of peo…

The conversation took place last in November and pretty much covers my thoughts on the state of the world wide web. At 1 hour and 24 minutes, this is probably the longest video I have even posted. It will be interesting to see how YouTube's algorithm treats this video. If you have time to watch I'm looking for feedback. Does the information resonate or not? Do you care about the subject, why or why not? Do I make a compelling case, or is it mostly boring 🥱

“...[Trump] may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS...” This is outrageous admission from a news organization, and clearly articulates the problem with what we euphemistically describe as journalism today. The behavior of CBS and their peers is THE reason Donald has a great chance of actually becoming the president of the united states. Ok we know the POTUS is a figurehead largely responsible for doing the bidding of the ultra rich, but to actually elect of of these guys is alarming. But hey in a culture fed on reality TV and celebrity, what do you expect? The most outrageous and the most popular wins.

You know you’re old if when Black History month rolls around, in addition to celebrating the remarkable accomplishments of your race, you find yourself remembering past events in your life which could now, themselves, be classified as historical. Being born during the Great Depression in 1933, the year Prohibition ended, and President Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected for the first of his 4 terms, I was told that my mother rolled me around in one of the baby strollers provided for visitors to Chicago’s Great World’s Fair, an exposition being held on this city’s famous lake front, and whose theme was “a century of progress“, and where she toured one of the exhibits showcas…

Sheeze! That Parisienne shoot-out has really touched a nerve in America which has apparently been "jonzin" for a new tragedy to revitalize the 9/11 crying binge it's been on for the last 14 years. What happened is Paris was terrible to be sure, but all mass murders are tragic and in comparison to the recent acts of terrorism in Nigeria, 129 fatal casualties ain't that awesome. Chiraq has accumulated a better record than that in one month. Ah, but French Lives Matter! What's also interesting is how a petulant America has so magnanimously forgiven a country with which it has been on bad terms since the French opposed the war in Iraq. How quickly we forget. So inc…

Apparently some of you have the wrong understanding of MY idea of "Black Unity" Apparently......some of you believe that when I talk of and promote Black Unity, I'm speaking of uniting ALL Black folks (or a majority) under one belief for one purpose. Like Harpo said in The Color Purple: "Naw......n-n-n-no such thang!" Not only wouldn't I expect most Black folks to come together, I wouldn't expect HALF or even just 25% of them to! It COULD happen, ofcourse; but it would take a Miracle. I mean a LITERAL Miracle of Divine origin for that to happen. Furthermore, there are a LOT of Black folks I have absolutely NO desir…

Here is a quote from a comment on one of the authors pages. I deleted a few moments ago. "I abominate this black jigaboo who wouldn't even make a good field hand. Pretending to be an intellectual? With a 400,000-year evolutionary shortfall, she needs another two centuries to learn how properly to wipe herself." I delete comments like this all the time. For some reason this one struck me as particularly unnecessary -- gratuitous even -- because the subject of this attack is a very nice women. Perhaps the only "controversial" thing about her is that she is lesbian, something the "commenter" did not bring up. Why do people invest so much…

PICTURES of EARLY CAUCASIAN~ ORIGINS from EGYPT & NORTH AFRICA!? I think this topic fits the title CULTUE-RACE-ECONOMY because it does hint at some possible deep roots that someone might relate to now or later. This would not be the correct term, ‘CAUCASIAN’, in my opinion, to understand the geographical and historical truth, and this would be a broad term. And here in America, it exclusively refers to Europeans (especially ‘White’ Europeans), but this term happens to define a much different people in the past. It would also take a lot of research to uncover the complete truth. But firstly, some picture references may help to show how re…

Jaron Lanier really articulates, in an accessible way, everything I've been complaining about for the last two years. It is hopeful that someone is actually talking about these issues in the mainstream media. While I complain about losing the Black voice on the net from the perspectives of journalism and artists, Lanier talks about it in much broader societal perspective. Of course the Black community, as with all that ails America, is more adversely impacted. Unfortunately, any entities with a broad reach are not raising this issues. which garnered, deservedly, a lot of attention in the Black media a decade ago. Today there is no one in the Black commun…

I’m watching the Super Bowl with a digital antenna and with the sound muted. The signal isn’t good out here, so the picture freezes a lot. But it's good enough to see that the George Kittle offensive pass interference call was legit. And that this is a great game. But it’s surreal taking glances up at the screen with the sound on mute and seeing what you see. The J-Lo video is apparently what [white] women do now to get back at [white] men in white supremacist society. The USA has been white supremacist since its inception: 400-500 years depending on your timeline. White males have always treated women like shit. Now that women got power under “#2Oh”, Obamas a…

I am curious to know how the racial injustices suffered today are impacting mental wellness. I noticed that as a result of such occurrences that many of the people in our communities are experiencing symptoms related to PTSD and increased anxiety and depression. However, I am not certain that we are seeking the help we may need to process what we are really facing. Has the conditioning of our society, culture, and tradition desensitized us to the point that we are potentially suffering emotionally inside of suffering through everything that is going on? If so, what can we do to help?

Hey @Troy, For some reason I was thinking about @richardmurray earlier this week and how he posts threads about movies and music. Not sure how easy it is to program but maybe you should think about having a "Movie Night" forum where say....richardmurray or any poster can post a movie we can watch and have a little chat-room next to it so that members can watch it together and comment on it together in real time. Kind of like live videos on Youtube. For example, Somebody post the movie Three The Hard Way.

There were 70,000 foreigners studying in Ukraine, according to various publications and Ukrainian government officials. About a quarter were Black Africans. There were about 20,000 Indians, according to 2020 government data. They fled the war, just as anyone with a working brain would. But many Blacks were mistreated as they tried to flee. They were beaten and blocked from boarding trains and buses scheduled to cross into Poland. Many had to walk miles to get to safe areas. Not all the Africans have made it home. When most managed to cross the border, some were tossed into detention camps. This is what I am chiefly concerned about. Massacres, rapes, home b…
