Now I don't think that a man like Minister Farrakhan spends time connecting with family and friends on Facebook. Nor do I think he needs, or desires Facebook, anymore than you or I. I just went to Facebook and still see plenty of Farrakhan related content, so I have know idea what Facebook's banning of Farrakhan really means. I read the NY Times account and it was not illuminating. Then it dawned on me! Facebook made this announcement in desperate move to garner attention and visitors to their site. Well it worked on me, 'cause I scrolled through Facebook site for the first time in the better part of a year. My overall reaction was that…

The Bible is the book written by our black ancestors, became lost, found by Europeans, and who returned it to us. Read more at the Black History Knowledge site Many sub-Sahara Africans, are the twelve tribes of Israel in exile. The Hebrews are not lost. The Bible makes it abundantly clear they are in sub-Sahara Africa. Consider the following verse. "From beyond the rivers of Cush My worshipers, My scattered people will bring Me an offering." Zephaniah 3:10 So there you have it. The Israelites are in the Land of Cush, which is sub-Sahara Africa. They fled there when Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonians destroyed ancient Israel 3000 years ago. This mean…

The Hurricane Dorian situation had me a bit down emotionally the past few days. The fact that this storm roars into a category 5 hurricane and heads straight for the U.S. and then STOPS in it's tracks over the Bahamas and stays there for nearly 2 days before making an "L" and moving north as it loses strength is almost unbelievable. No one can tell me this was totally co-incidental and simply part of nature. For one thing, storms don't STOP in the middle of their rack and do a little dance for 2 days before moving on. Also, since when do storms make sharp "L" movements? They may curve and make wide turns, but head west only to stop r…

Last night I had the pleasure of watching the new Bill Withers Documentary. Afterwards Bill Withers answered questions. If you like Bill's music you like it even more as you discover more about the man. The movie reveals a lot; how Bill only he started performing professional in his 30's, how he suffered from stuttering until his late 20's, it was really quite fascinating.

**********A GREEN COMET********** IN THE SKY THIS WEEK! Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) This comet that was first detected last year is said to be visible with binoculars this week. I am intrigued! I remember the comet of 2020 that was supposedly visible for months, however, no matter how much I tried to view it through a telescope to see the 'tail', I just could not operate my telescope to see it. I did see it with though, position below the Big Dipper however, I just wanted to see the actual 'tail'. But, A GREEN COMET!? That's interesting! This particular comet discovered March of last year inside the orbit of Jupiter. In a…

I just sat down to look at some youtube videos before calling it a night. I generally watch Youtube video on a regular TV. I usually search for subjects that interest me. I started to watch an Inconvenient Truth but after a few minutes I grew bored... I decided to see what was trending on youtube (something I almost never do), the #9 video was the one shown below . This video was watched over 8 million since in the last two days. That is 8 times more than the number of view all of my videos have received in the last decade! I watched at least 1/2 of the video. I doubt anyone would confuse the music with being great, but after watching the video …

I remain flabbergasted by the comments of some on this forum. Despite the frenzied denials against all evidence, White Supremacy continues to exist. In fact, there are millions of Whites who would just love to return to the days when they could actually own, whip, rape or kill a person with impunity. These are times when their desires were quickly met, their complaints always rectified and their violent rages repeatedly excused. Ah, but don't take it from me. Read an opinion piece in The Black Wall Street Times written by its esteemed founder and editor-in-chief, Nehemiah D. Frank. He's simply highlighting yet more proof that racist Whites are ramping…

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…

…. so say the determinists. toss a ball in the air. If we know the force applied, we know the exact trajectory the bar will take. The same as true not just for your life but the entire universe. Free will is an illusion. Our minds are too feeble to calculate the exact trajectory of our lives, or even wrap our brains around the entire notion, but that doesn’t make it untrue. Maybe as people get older, they begin to realize this, on some level, and they become increasingly bored with life. In much the same way a little kid can be entertained by the game, I Declare War, as they grow older they begin to find the game boring —dumb …

Here are the results so far. The survey was prompted by a question posed in the conversation What's Wrong With This Picture? I’d encourage everyone to check out this conversation. During the conversation, you'll learn if the makeup artist was Black. You definitely read a wide variety of opinions; some of the comments may change the way you feel about this photo or they may strengthen your opinion. Here are the results so far: None of the non-Black respondents did saw the photo as racist and all of them agreed the photo was flattering. The responses from the Black Males were split. Half agreed the photo was racist and half felt it was the photo was flatte…

Niger has become the latest country in West Africa where the army has seized control, following Burkina Faso, Guinea, Mali, and Chad - all former French colonies. Since 1990, a striking 78% of the 27 coups in sub-Saharan Africa have occurred in Francophone states leading some commentators to ask whether France - or the legacy of French colonialism - is to blame? Many of the coup plotters would certainly like us to think so. Colonel Abdoulaye Maiga, who was named prime minister by the military junta in Mali in September 2022, launched a scathing attack on France. Criticising "neocolonialist, condescending, paternalist and vengeful policies", Mr Maiga al…

I recently came across an article on Reddit speaking on the traumas many black Americans face growing up. Many of the points the author made really resonated with me, the disparities in the black communist does a great deal of harm to all of us whether we know it or not. The most interesting part of the article to me was the idea that the majority don't see as human so they assume we commit crimes because we're just prone to it. But whites are seen as humans, because when they commit crimes they are seen as mentally ill. If there any thoughts about this article let me know, I think this is a problem that needs to be discussed in great detail. I haven't found to many other…

JAY Z & the KALIEF BROWDER STORY I never keyed in on this story about Kalief Crowder until I began to research about Jay Z and Beyonce’s sacrifices in their bringing forth the Trayvon Martin Story. But, because this story about Kalief maybe regarded as ‘old news’ in this community and based on what has been aired, however, I would like to take a hard-right turn though and ask some questions and make some conclusions that may lead to solutions not yet considered in this case and the many other cases being reviewed in America on this same wise. In light of this story too, it seems that America would be a system that rewards bad beha…

Xeon's post about what black women name their children got me thinking about the weird habit whites in the American west have of giving their boys names that start with "La-"...LaDell, LaVell, LaVern, etc. I went looking for popular names online and found that the government tracks that. That got me thinking about comparing white names and black names with some real data. So I went to a Social Security web site where you can look up the most popular baby names in each state. I pulled up the top 100 girl names from 2008 where there are the highest and lowest percentages of blacks: District of Columbia (60 percent black) and Montana (0.3 percent black). Then I crossed off t…

Conveniently Black A few days ago Jim Crow Joe Biden gave the descendants of the former American slaves the proverbial middle finger by picking a US born South Asian-Jamaican to be his vice presidential running mate. A South Asian from the country of India whose immigrant parents had nothing in common with our Ancestors’ experience from the Institution of American Slavery and the Jim Crow era. These facts should not be lost those of us care about the lineage and legacy of the Ancestors who bled, died and are buried on this soil. Joe Biden like Donald Trump and many of the ‘Pocahontas’ mindset minions either think we are too stupid or politically uneducated to know …

Those who really think the Republican Party is a force for good need to understand this organization's agenda is to whitewash the country's history and that includes any mention of Black luminaries. The school district labeled the pictures "age inappropriate." Since when are paintings or photos of Dr. King and Harriet Tubman inappropriate? They have never depicted in a state of undress or in a compromising position. Explain why Black History must be erased in deference to the GOP's fanatical hatred of anything they claim is CRT? Florida teacher resigns after school removes pictures of Dr. King and Harriet Tubman

I was reading a few experiences where Black parents who claim to be pro black express shock and anger that their child decides to marry a white person. They all say the same thing "how could this be? I thought them about black history and took them to multiple museums and surrounded them with exceptional black people". Teaching you Black child about black history will not make them stay away from white people. Teaching your black child about racism will. Teaching black history to black children and teaching black children about racism will yield 2 different outcomes. If your black child looks at every white person as a racist suspect then you have successfull…

Here is a 60 second trailer from a much longer video I shot of Michael Eric Dyson critiquing President Obama, during the National Black Writers Conference a few days ago. It has been interesting to observe Michael move to essentially the same position Cornel West took several years ago, a position that Dyson himself beat Dr. West up over publically.

Well, the results are in. "Black Panther" which opened this week-end was a box office sensation to the tune of $192,000,000+, primarily due to the patronage of black people deliriously happy to have a super hero with the same skin color as theirs. These theatergoers showed up in droves, many of them decked out in African garb, all ready to have their hunger for something other than movies depicting the drudgery and cruelty of slavery in America, satisfied. Reviews of this film have been good, and popular opinion has been overwhelming in its enthusiastic approval. That the movie's director is also black, is chocolate icing on the devils food cake. But there are always vo…

Greetings, I was recently banned from the StraightDope message board. I got a good laugh out of it. But we are approaching the 23rd anniversary of a world changing event. It was not a Physics Changing event. Neil DeGrasse Tyson sent out a public letter on 9/12/2001 admitting that he lived 4 blocks from Ground Zero and had to leave his home because of the dust. However I am not aware of his discussing the Physics of the Destruction of the Towers since then. Living in New York he should see skyscrapers quite often and being an astrophysicist he should understand some fundamental things about them. How does the steel have to be distributed…

I use some AI tool almost every working day and am constantly amazed by how damn good it is. Check out the following discussion on a book I published earlier this year. The ENTIRE conversation was generated by AI. I added the subtitles and progress bar with another AI tool. Even the person holding the book is artificial a mockup in photoshop. AI is scary because it will change things in ways that I can't image. Given how greedy some people are these changes may not bee good for us.

Yes I am Black, Proud and Republican! History was made yesterday in Virginia. Republican Winsome Sears is projected to be the first woman elected to statewide office in Virginia. Once again Republicans are breaking down barriers and boldly presenting representation for all citizens. This is important because after the Goldwater Blunder and FDR Bribe, Blacks are taking a prominent lead in the GOP. Unlike the false narrative, President Donald J Trump sounded the Clarion call to All Americans that if you want a piece of the dream it’s right here for you. The Republican Party is one trying to be defined by sex or color. It’s a Party seeking to attract the…

I touched on this in another thread recently and I went a little more in depth with Mel some years back when I said I don't like and in many cases do not tolerate White men or men of other races "getting their goodies" with the best of our women. I don't believe Black men are jealous ENOUGH. Especially when it comes with seeing our women interact with men of other races. We can get jealous with EACHOTHER and often engage in all types of playa hatin' tactics to throw salt in eachother's game when it comes to the opposite sex. But when it comes to that White boy hanging around trying to start conversations and sneak a giggle or two from our sistaz....mos…

This is a short (sub-3 minute) video. If made me think of conversations we have been having here. Particularly as if concern race. Anyone who has been active on these forums knows I believe we should dispense with the concept of race in its entirety because it is flawed scientifically and it provides a mechanism for us to hold onto racist stereotypes that have never served us. The video below speaks to the later. Leonce, the Brother speaking in this video is a novelist. His book, I Dreamt I Was in Heaven - The Rampage of the Rufus Buck Gang is an 18 time AALBC.com besteller. He is currently the 20th bestselling author on this site over the past 20 years. …

I recently said in a dialog between me and our good brother ProfD, that White dudes often hang around Black men to learn some "swag" and how to talk to Black women. Which is one of the reasons I DON'T let them hang around...lol. They've already stolen enough. If they want to learn how to be cool, talk to women, how to dress, how to cut hair...learn from eachother. We've taught them enough already. But it made me think of something else.............. The other week I was talking to a young man (younger than me atleast....lol) at work about the amount of flirting that goes on between White men and Latina and African women.

I found what Facebook poster Timothy Elliott had to say about America's dictator incisive and succinct. "Trump was once a Democrat, then he switched. Wouldn’t even call him a Republican (the traditional party of “free trade”), however. He’s something altogether different. The Grievance Party (MAGA). Whining, complaining, self-pitying, feeling hard done by. In Trump’s world there is no such thing as mutual benefit. It’s always a zero-sum game. He has to be the winner (or be seen as a winner) and the other party has to be a loser. He took over the world’s strongest economy (on Jan.20), and the world’s strongest currency, and in less than three months he has both head…

This is really a follow up to a conversation that divereged from the inherent beauty of Black women to spirituality. Often we hear the phrase, "Everything happens for a reason." The phrase is bandied about so much it is a cliche; a catch-all, used in place of an actual explanation. No matter how bad the event: "Everything happens for a reason." Death of a child, genocide, a fender bender, lost keys, running into an old flame or meeting a new one; "Everything happens for a reason." Of course this means that the Universe, Zeus, Jehovah, or (insert your favorite deity) had a hand in it. Does anyone believe this? Do…
