#Africa, a continent of 54 countries and a population of about one billion people, accounts for just 3% of global GDP and global trade. How important is #Africa in the #global scheme of things?

I met Dexter King once. He was honored by Syracuse University, some years ago. Interestingly, I also saw, but did not meet, his mom Corretta Scott King and his grand-father Daddy King speak at Syracuse University. Not too shabby for an HWCU--despite the craziness going on there today.

https://abcnews.go.com/538/hunter-bidens-guilty-verdict-affect-2024-election/story?id=111057941 As the trials turn, 1st son of the United States, Hunter Biden had been found guilty on all 3 counts in his federal trial for lying about his drug use on a gun permit application. Remains to be seen whether or not Hunter Biden (HB) will be sent to prison. I don't believe the son of the POTUS will serve a day in a cell. HB will get probation and community service and a fine.😎

https://apnews.com/article/trump-rfk-hhs-health-kennedy-f40ee2398e3a280c1586eecdd80bdf7c As expected, POTUS OJ has nominated RFK Jr. to be Secretary of Health and Human Services. It will be interesting to see how RFK Jr. goes after the industries that he believes are most harmful to human health. Believe the announcement of RFK Jr. as a nominee caused a drop in the pharmaceutical stock market.🤣😎

Interesting book. This is a quote from the epilogue. By allowing yourself to view the world from an abstract perspective, you create a language that is uniquely able to capture and describe the patterns and mechanisms that would otherwise remain hidden. This is true of language, mathematics, Astrology et cetera.

Why I Like White men 1. Many are the most handsome men (blues eyes are killer) in the world, more marriage and family oriented. 2. Many are ambicious, hardworking high achievers who believe in education. 3. Many are courteous, considerate, intelligent and logical. 4. Many are romantic, adventurous in bed and sex as hell! 5. White men as a whole have more capital, political power and status then most other races of men.

Whatever happened to my frienemy Chrishayden? His absence seems to have coincided with the appearance of a new member named "Toby". Has our Chrissy thrown in the towel and turned things over to the negroes? Or, is St. Louis' favorite soap box orator being held captive somewhere, betrayed by the street walker he was trying to solicit, then taken away and tied up and gagged and forced to watch Bill Cosby show re-runs? And to the "scorekeeper" who shall remain nameless, it will make me no difference whether anybody responds to this. Just foolin around, waiting for my daughter to show up so we can make our monthly trip to WalMart. The spring fashion line should be out …

What do you think about the idea of guns being banned in America? What, if anything, do you think it would change about society?

Charisse of The Book Look interviews singing sensation and new author, LEDISI!

Lately, an intriguing phrase has come to my attention, one that refers to the movers and shakers who shape the zeitgeist of the 21st century. The term being bandied about by those who keep tabs on sociological trends is “The Nanny State”. This is a label I find very appropriate because television, the Internet, and the print news that permeate every aspect of our lives, have merged into a politically-correct nursemaid babysitting the masses. Presuming to know what’s best for us, they have sat us on their knees and pacified us with fairy tales. Robbing us of the initiative to think for ourselves and dousing us with superficiality, the "Nanny State" tells us how we …

Hello Fam, it's been a while since I posted here. Feels great to be back. I'm sure most you are aware of SOME of what's going on in the city of Flint Michigan. But being from Detroit and having traveled to Flint many times and having friends and family up there, what's NOT talked about as much is Flint's high crime and violence rate. And there is a CLEAR link between lead contamination and not only violence but also low IQ and poor academic performance. Check out this amazing article I found from Mother Jones Magazine linking lead and violence: Mother Jones Lead and Violence If this is accurate, and I believe it is....then it would explain the high crime …

They LOVE images like this: Negroes in suits and ties getting their asses stomped and ran over by organized Caucasian men while other run off squealing and hollering and leave their women behind. Oh they luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuv it when negroes act like THAT. They love it like bad little boys love throwing rocks at a pack of squirrels to see them scattering in different directions and racing eachother to get out of the way.

I don’t know what Ice Cube was thinking. Especially since he believed at one time Trump should be arrested for his war on the poor. Ice Cube’s lawyer called a lawyer who knows Jared Kushner and the meet was on. at Bedminster Country Club. Ice Cube was able to get Kushner to ask Trump to boost the “Platinum Plan” supposedly to raise $500 billion in capital for Black folks in the U.S. Of course, Kushner agreed to ask for an increase. The better to show Blacks remain divided and eager to turn on each other for some good media. All Ice Cube really did was give this racist and phony billionaire an excuse to silence critics for his four-year war against Blacks, Latinos, Wom…

This is big news. The Black candidtate for the governor race of Florida in 2020 was just arrested by the FBI on multiple charges of fraud. Andrew Gillum was arrested on multiple federal charges and seems to of been caught on video committing fraud and conspiracy. This criminal was endorsed by Obama. Another reason not to vote for people just based on skin color. I felt something was up with Gillum from day one. Andrew Gillum lost to Florida’s popular rising star Ron Desantis. Gillum campained about gun control probably because he just proved you dont need a gun to steal from people by his multiple acts of fraud. Gillum will probably go to prison for a long time.…

All of these presidents and vice president have nothing on me when it comes to newly-discovered documents. After all of these years I can't believe that I never paid any attention to the symbols at the top of this site; the bell and the envelope notifying me that someone is trying to make contact with me. Why I never checked these out, i do not know! Maybe because I never sign out of my account because i have such a frustrating time trying to get back in because I can't ever remember my pass word or user name and all that crap that gets co-mingled and entangled.. For some reason, I can't even sign in from my Android phone which is a pain in the ass because i have to …

I'd like to know of some EFFECTIVE ways of making money online. When I say "effective", I mean if I follow your instructions step by step I WILL make more money. Ofcourse I would like to make a lot, however I'm more interested in CONCRETE and VIABLE plans that will allow me to make SOME money through the internet....rather than a bunch of vague "follow your passion" or "just invest" advice that anybody can tell someone walking down the street.

I visited a web site called Shadow and Act. It bills itself as On Media Of The Afican Diasporia - Empahasis On Cinema. It's one of my favorite places to get the real low down on black cinema. http://www.shadowandact.com/ Today they highlighted Tyler Perry's trip to the UK to promote his last film. Janet Jackson went with him. Now, I remember my man Troy say this film was the best he has seen from Mr Perry, and he enjoyed it. Well, I want to tell Troy to turn his underwear back around because this flim was a chick flick with a capital Ceeshy! Look, strip Tyler Perry of that wig and his grandma dress, and there's nothing left. The boy does not p…

Where is Kola Boof when we need her? Wonder if she watched the NAACP "IMAGE" AWARDs Friday?? Image, indeed. There was certainly a preponderance of high-yellow, blue-eyed winners among the nominees; e.g. Vanessa Williams, Terrence Howard, Colin Powell, not to mention an olive "colored" Hispanic sitcom star, and the light-eyed gold-toned Regina King. And of course there was Halle Berry in all of her one-drop glory, modestly accepting an award from the light-skinned hazel-eyed Prince, displaying his usual eccentric behavior. I suspect the cameras were kept off the reaction of the losers in the audience, whose melanin must've blanched. What would the show have done wi…

Is it just me or is a $75,000 fine over the top for the above comment? Were gay people so bent out of shape by the utterance of "no homo" during a press conference that they feel a $75K fine, on top of an apology, is warranted, or is this whole "controversy" generated by the media? Hibbert thought he was being funny. Predictably, Hibbert's "slur" was twisted to make him seem like he is a rabid Nazi or homophobic Klansman. He is just a young man who made a silly comment, for which he apologized. If the NBA wants uber-politically-correct comments, worthy of the in which we live, then they need to have polished spokesmen field questions from the press a…

19th Day of ‪#‎BlackHistoryMonth‬ Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison 1st Book by a Black writer to win a National Book Award

Wangechi Mutu (artist), Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o (writer), Chimamanda Adichie (writer), Wangechi Mutu (artist), Kerry James Marshall (artist), Sammy Baloj (artist) and Taiye Selasi (writer) discuss how black people are misrepresented in today’s society and culture.

I received this text message late last night: "Watch yourself outside. Two people I know have had encounters with KKK or neo-Nazis in Manhattan today. And yesterday, someone messaged me about a confederate flag in Brooklyn and there was a news report of one in the East Village today."

Black businesses are a complete waste of time. I used to wonder why Black people weren't supporting Black businesses, then I noticed something myself... black people still crave inclusion. Though many will not understand this about themselves or admit it, but it's true. Black people like to be included with others. Think about most of the recent protesting you have witnessed on mass media. It's usually black people upset about not being included. Black people want mainstream businesses to cater to them which shows that they are not interested in only patronizing black businesses. Some will claim it is impossible, however, other races and cultures of people wil…

Growing up White is about Blacks who do not act Black enough, therefore are discriminated by fellow Blacks for not conforming and scorned by Whites who stereotype by race. This book describes situations Oreo's go through and guides them through difficulty with advice and suggestions. Growing up White is a guide written in a humorous tone and displays an eye opening lesson on a subculture that lies between two cultures. Oreo culture also applies to Biracials who pass for black.

The blond-haired, blue-eyed, Walter White apparently had a Black ancestor. I never read an account of who in his background was Black. Maybe he was similar to Plessey Ferguson where only one of his eight great-grand parent was Black and he presented as a white man too. We know he lived his life, most of it anyway, as a Black man. By today's standard, he would be likened to the Rachel Dolezal (sp?) of the world. I already know @Pioneer1 would not consider him to be a Black man, but in the standard of America 100 years ago he was. Would he be a Black man today?

Yesterday I was visiting a friend and I noticed a Black couple in a movie on his TV and asked him "what movie is that?" He told me the name of the flick which I promptly forgot, because he also said it was on Amazon Prime. I replied, "Well that is one movie I'm not watching, because Amazon is not getting a penny of my money." Generously, the Brother offered me his login, so when I got back home I logged in to see what Prime had to offer. The first thing that popped up was this brand new flick One Night in Miami, A fictionalized account of an evening that Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali), Sam Cooke, Jim Brown, and Malcolm X spent with each other after Clay defeat…

It is not something Black people in the past created , it is something from pure modernity. By the national urban league, which has produced no results for the black urban league. I asked in the post below what I will ask here. Can any one black show me anything that came from black voting? Show me something? The 13th amendment to end enslavement was the result of war. Show me something that Black votes earned the Black community in the USA. I Can't think of anything. Can you? And some of you will say, that is not the point of voting and I oppose that view. In NYC, the vote of various white groups led to things in their community for them. More info…

Tyre Nichols was beaten to death by 5 black former Memphis police officers. Word is for 3 minutes, those 5 ex-cops beat that 29-year old man like a "human piñata". We'll see the video soon. The whole ordeal stemmed from a traffic stop. Tyre's family says the only reason he tried to run away is because he was scared. No matter how eccentric an individual might appear to be, if they're nonviolent, there's no reason for police officers to abuse them. Police officers have plenty ways of catching up with a fleeing nonviolent suspect too. Let them go. Eat donuts and wait for them to show up at the crib. Police offic…

This will probably be my last post for this forum. The title is not a statement of me being ultra hotep or black nationalist. It is just a fact. Unless there is an event in the next 100 years or so that causes a catastrophic loss of life such as nuclear WWIII or the second coming of Jesus Christ (which both are very possible), black people will be in the majority on planet earth. Why do I say this? Humanity's population in general is decreasing, but this is particularly true of non-black races. …
