My afro. My black, collection of many curling and coiling hairs. It is thick and stubborn af. It defies gravity and reaches for the sun. I love it and I believe it loves me. I love wearing it natural because it makes me feel unencumbered. But I didn't always love my hair. In fact I couldn't wait to finish high school so I could load it with chemicals and straighten it. I despised my hair because it was called any and everything but beautiful.... wait what? Are you thinking my hair was demeaned by white folks? Nah. It was black folks. My mother was the loudest. My hair was compared to goat shit! I did grow to love myself and my hair. But the maturit…

Mother's Watch Your Out For Your Babies Well It's obvious that you cannot be there all of the time but this short clip reminds me of how important it is though that the true fathers are around their own babies.

Religious people don't seem to have a lot to say when it comes to protesting wars. Thousands of women and children are being murdered in these current conflicts. Yet, there's no huge outcry for a cease-fire from the holy folks. I doubt Russia and Israel are pouring that much money into the coffers.😎

Novocain Can Lead to Divorce Court! This Video Short-skit I found to be hilarious! So I thought I would share it for a little humor today. I don't know what I would do if I were in this situation. I wonder how angry would a Brother get if he heard this kind of revelation from his girlfriend or wife at the dentist office. And if I heard this kind of talk , well when the phone messages came into play, that would be obvious to me that was truth serum. Careful Who You Take With You To Your Dental Appointment

I've been going to college campuses for decades. I've lived in a huge university town for years. I've been around the internet for over 20 years ....and I PROMISE you, I hadn't even heard of this acronym or term "DEI" until this year. Now all of a sudden it's all over the internet. Every other article is featuring this acronym. Every political argument involves it. Diversity Equity Inclusion This reminds me of "CRT" or Critical Race Theory of a few years ago. Where is this shit coming from? Who's making up these terms and tossing them out for people to wrestle over? And more importantly, what do they have to do with…

He was a familiar figure on Chicago's local TV channels, a community activist, always there, first on the scene in the aftermath of the regular shootings that grab headlines in Chicagoland. On camera, comforting the grieving families, chiding the violent perpetrators, urging anyone with any information to come forward, bringing his lamenting to a close by announcing the amount of any award money to be offered. He was a community treasure, the go-to-guy for mike-holding reporters ready to move on from the "wha had happened" witnesses, and anxious to solicit his insinuations about his fellow blacks. And what has happened in regard to this "angel of death" wh…

I originally posted this in the Black Literature Forum but am also posting it here, with an expletive (where people will see it 🤨) Anyhow, this is the first AI generated video that I created.

McFarland got away years ago with that terrible image of Harriet Tubman with a nude white woman draped around her, but not this time. They can't and don't do this kind of thing to other people, they can't do it to us. What kind of sanctions must be determined. But if we were to let this type of insult go by and…

There is a general misconception and perception that black men do not respect, trust, honor, adore, cherish and love black women. Nothing could be further from the truth. Black men do love and appreciate black women and we are committed to building bridges that help create loving relationships, healthy families, and business partnerships that enhance our communities and empower black women to live extraordinary lives. This powerful empowerment guide was written to empower black women to create extraordinary lives.

College tuition is going through the atmosphere. Student loan debt is ridiculous. Non-STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) degrees will become less valuable especially as technology takes over jobs that do not require human hands. Folks are beginning to have the conversation that trade schools might be a better option than a 4 year degree from a college or university. STEM degrees will most likely always land a job somewhere. However, Liberal Arts and Business majors might be in trouble. Talk to young Black folks within your circle about considering a trade especially if they aren't STEM strong. …

What I never hear from various people, black or non black, is nixon was pardoned. USA history shows the president is immune. I know alot of blacks in the usa, I am not certain most, like the concept of individual equality . Maybe want it implemented. But the usa has a heritage of inequality, not equality. I think the frederick douglass folk in the black populace have always believed the usa can become the federation of star trek.

In the real world, whether I'm at work or on the street....if I'm talking to somebody and I'm trying to remember something I often will ask them or give myself a while to try to remember it myself. Some people ask, why not just look it up on your phone? Because I don't want to. I like the feeling of REMEMBERING certain things and I'll sometimes wait a whole day trying to remember something and use the internet only as a last resort. I like using my brain. I usually don't use calculators for the same reason. I'll grab a sheet of paper and do it with a pen. A lot of younger people under 30 will crowd around me in amazement and wonder what I'm doing an…

Close on the heels of the ads featuring gold garnished sneakers bearing the Re-elect Trump brand, is a TV commercial featuring Donald tRump hawking for the modest price of $59.00, a "patriotic" Bible guaranteed to inspire God to Bless America. Holding the leather bound holy book in his raised little pudgy hand, flanked by two gigantic American flags, a salivating Donnie gives his spiel, hardly able to keep a straight face as he anticipates a flood of orders from his faithful following. What a perfect embodiment of the dire warning political pundit, Sinclair Lewis, predicted years ago. to wit: "When Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in a flag, a…

I didn't watch the State of the Union address. I figured I could catch the sound bytes and high(?) lights later. The reviews, which all seem to be limited to Biden supporters, said ol Joe gave a good accounting of himself. But from what I saw, he came across as a crotchety ol geezer telling kids to stay off his lawn. I don't believe he changed many minds, and I just think the Dems could pick some one more impressive to run against tRump. This spawn of Satan looks like he might reclaim the presidency. And if he gets back in, he has promised that heads will roll, as he goes on a vengeful rampage. If he loses he will, of course, claim the election was rig…

He said he can tell people about in one day six million riders and only six felonies that day but people need to feel safe. So, the mayor of NYC is flat out saying that the problem isn't crime but the perception of crime in nyc and this means that people , like some in this very online community are so frightened or afraid of violence that even if they have no personal story or incidence they are only content when zero but that is a dysfunctional desire. But, the war on crime is turning , every day more and more i notice the mayor or governor seem dedicated to getting latinos as the primary war on crime target which overall is going to be better for the black …

Has anyone else noticed something that seems to be more and more common when you talk to a lot of people at home lately? It seems that a lot of people are simply letting their smoke alarms beep and chirp. They aren't changing the batteries. They are just letting them chirp and ignoring them and if you say something about it they will either act like they didn't notice or get annoyed that you even mentioned it. It's like going over someone's house with roaches. They are all over the place but you're supposed to "pretend" that you don't see them...lol.

I thought about donald trump owing eighty three million to a woman already getting money from him for defamation over years.

The shooter claimed he pulled his gun because he feared the young woman with him might get shot by someone from the other group. Reads like he was showing off. The argument stemmed from the shooter looking at the other group. That's dumb n8gglet sh8t right there. A set of eyeballs should not lead to shots fired. Further down the road o…

More gossipy stuff at the top of my YouTube Feed. I clicked because curiosity got the best of me, and the sources was Forbes.

Getting divorced is a great way to destroy wealth and he has been divorced 5 times.

I admit I love the graphic simply because it shows how in germany you have people who drop out of school or not vaccinated. Merely because media in the usa tends to suggest that the only children who drop out of school in all of humanity is black kids in the usa, which some black people actually repeat. Second , us media has made it seem like people in the usa who didn't get vaccinated endangered the whole world, like everyone else on earth got vaccinated. The lies of usa media, which get resounded by so many, made me enjoy this post visuality.

I mentioned in a couple of threads how when I got into politics I would get on the microphone and go to meetings cussing, shouting, and criticizing White folks, the system, racism, and a host of other things. And to my surprise (when I first started doing it) a lot of White folks LOVED it and would come up to me after the meeting or rally and shake my hand or have a conversation with me and many of them would give me or whatever organization I was in at the time money. I'm not talking about money with an agenda attached to it....although I did get those offers as well. I mean digging in their purse and just handing me $100 or $50 or sometimes $400 and say "I hop…

And in the vast majority of cases the uses have no reason to go to the underlying website, meaning websites, go increasingly uncompensated for their content.
