Culture, Race & Economy

A study recently said that 40% of people who live in nyc were born outside of nyc, that explains the problem, half of the people living in nyc don't know anything about new york city. And this connects to a larger problem, cause that percentage doesn't include people who immigrated from within the usa. To be blunt, my bloodline has lived in nyc for a long time and to those that like NYC in a general sense, this explains the problem with nyc of the past in parallel to nyc of today. People who live outside of NYC come from towns or smaller cities, in the usa or outside of it, or come from big cities that are culturally very different from nyc outside of it, and don't have …

Some folks (may and do) hate the source, but routinely and more often than not, it's the story that matters. Instead of cherry-picking (it) by quote, this story is simply a top-down easy read. Let the reader be the judge. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/12/leo-hohmann-collapse-american-empire/

Now, this is some good news! Rudy Giuliani, the lying bullcrap artist for Donald Trump, must pay more than $148 million to two Black Georgia election workers for lying about them. The lies led angry Trump supporters to threaten their lives and other family members. The damages verdict follows emotional testimony from Wandrea “Shaye” Moss and her mother, Ruby Freeman, who tearfully described becoming the target of a false conspiracy theory pushed by Giuliani and other Republicans as they tried to keep then-President Trump in power after he lost the 2020 election, according to the Associated Press. The lawsuit resulted in $75 million for punitive damages while…

Better order an extra drink when ordering that KFC fried chicken leg or fast food burgers might if you’re in Alabama. Might make swallowing your meal easier after you read this nonsense. Prisoner and labor groups have filed a federal class action lawsuit to dismantle the forced prison labor system in the Yellowhammer State, which generates $450 million a year by leasing prisoners to McDonald’s, KFC, Burger King and Wendy’s, according to Zane McNeil of Truthout.org. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Alabama, seeks compensation for folks exploited by the state’s prison labor system. Now, despite a 2015 state law requiri…

@frankster Let me make it clear that: 1. I support the institution of marriage when done PROPERLY. 2. I believe children should be raised by atleast a man and women in a committed relationship.....usually marriage. Having said that though.............. I would argue that historically, women have found more independence and success as PROSTITUTES than as old fashioned traditional HOUSE-WIVES. A lot of women have become successful and made lots of money being call-girls, escorts, and eventually Madams of their own brothels. As important is it is, how many have become wealthy from their position as subservient and obedient house-wives? …

Apparently some crazy young "sista" tried to burn down Dr. Martin Luther King's childhood home down in Atlanta. MLK house vandalism: Woman tried pouring gasoline on childhood home (usatoday.com) I haven't looked much into the story yet but I'm telling people right now, I BET it's going to come out that she was influenced by some crazy shit she heard and read over the internet about MLK being a "communist" or working with the "illuminati". I'm willing to bet MONEY that this is what sent her over the edge. For a couple of years now I've gotten into it with other Black folks over the internet who sat up and listened to some of these ri…

Of the remaining GOP candidates challenging the former POTUS for the nomination, only one of them is willing to call him out on his record and legal issues. Former Gov. Chris Christie who at one time was a loyal ally to the former POTUS is the only candidate who seems unafraid to oppose him. Watching the debate is funnier than some TV shows and movies. These clown characters are wasting a whole lot of money In a losing effort. 🤣 The former POTUS is leaving the clowns in the dust. I don't think he would even ask any those candidates to be his VP running mate or cabinet level positions.😎

The same year in which a white female director earned huge acclaim for her film barbie, Nia Dacosta a black female director has helmed The Marvels, a film that has become in media , not reality, the tombstone of superhero films. thoughts? I want to say one thing...the CEO of disney made an excellent financial note, not every film from marvel is going to break a billion, it shouldn't really, that is the history of movie making. On the other hand, while I agree with a reviewer [who used a different tone than the following] that films involving non white male christians in the superhero film world or multiracial casts has put off white male christian audien…

Norman Lear created the blueprint for sitcom TV: https://www.vulture.com/2023/12/remembrance-norman-lear-19222023.html Sanford & Son, The Jeffersons and Good Times were among Lear's most popular sitcoms. Those were the days of TV long before cable and syndication. Back in those days, folks had to wait weekly to watch those shows. Nowadays, TV shows can be pulled up on demand or watched as a marathon. Those TV shows were created a half-century ago. Time flies.😎

Has anyone else noticed that Black women are disproportionately featured in commercials that not only sell feminine products but also commercials about STDs and foul smelling vaginal odors? I'm not trying to be funny, but I happened to notice this over the years. You almost never see a commercial of an Asian woman sitting on a toilet complaining about "vaginal odors" or symptoms of STDS.

MY THOUGHTS 0:10 Jill scott's character in this film is well known, I have only seen two tyler perry films. One is with a black woman who is with a wife beater, and the other is with a black woman who is using a black man's marriage as a cover for her mistresshood to a white man . But it seems he likes to have an abused black woman by a black man. reminds me of "for colored girls" 3:30 I don't think Zenobia shared why the relationship between jill scott's character and said character's husband bother's her so much. It is clearly negative but she wanted to say more i think 4:15 Nike, you found the relationship with the michael j white character side wife…

Chynna Phillips, who is married to Billy Baldwin, called their father “one of my favorite individuals in the whole wide world,” but someone who had a “dark” side. “I loved his laugh. Yet there was this whole other side to dad that was kind of, like, monster,” Chynna said. “He had a very dark side,” Mackenzie said, with Chynna saying: “He was so dark, and you just didn’t know who you were going to get, right?

HAPPY THANKSGIVING Holiday! -- Revisiting Native American History—The Yamasee Chief Se’khu Hadjo This video is amazing! Instead of a focus on the American aspect of the Thanksgiving holiday, however, this video shares some fascinating history about the American Indians. Furthermore, it addresses my passion in research in that thousands of years ago, the Ancient Americas was inhabited by a dominant presence of many ancient people of African descent. Even though the modern term ‘African’ and other terms have been misused to erase true history, nevertheless, these descriptions should not be a problem if us…

Does anyone remember this commercial from back in the 80s............ I do. Hadn't even seen it since the 80s until came across it a few weeks ago. Somebody reminded me of it and I went-a-huntin'.....and finally found it. Although I have to admit...... I don't remember seeing so many White folks dancing around in it as I see, lol.

TRANSCRIPT I know one thing though. See, what a sex toy can do, what a good vibrator can do , I don't know one man that can do that job? True that. And that is just facts. You see that rhythm, that consistency that a vibrator has. No man can wiggle his tongue consistently like that , till you come. Sometimes you know, when your doing with a man, he's getting the rhythm, he's getting the rhythm, and then your about to come and then he changes something. And, I am like, oh my goodness, get the fuck out of my face. If, If your partner, is giving you one on one and you've been taking it for years. And then the vibrator just goes like this [mechanical so…

......not more bullshit and wishful thinking. I met and had a deep conversation with a group of Hebrew Israelites a few days ago, and it made me a bit disappointed. None of these brothers were over 35 and infact most of them were in their 20s and they were very sincere about Black folks and Latinos being the 12 Tribes of Israel and even more disappointing was the fact that they believed slavery was a "curse" from God for breaking the commandments of the Bible. I was taking these brothers and schooling them not just with their own Bible that they hadn't read thoroughly but also with basic common sense and logic like if slavery was a "curse" then wh…

If this site were not solely fixated on Black books I would promote Poverty, by America by Matthew Desmond (Amazon is discounting the book by 37%) “The United States, the richest country on earth, has more poverty than any other advanced democracy. Why? Why does this land of plenty allow one in every eight of its children to go without basic necessities, permit scores of its citizens to live and die on the streets, and authorize its corporations to pay poverty wages?” Desmond also wrote another critically acclaimed book, Evicted (which Amazon is selling for 42% off--less than my wholesale discount!). This is not a "Black" problem as man…

There is no simply no stopping our women!

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…

NYC Mayor Eric Adams had to know it was just a matter of time before the federal probe into his campaign financing would catch up to him. https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/12/politics/eric-adams-investigation-cooperate/index.html The media is reporting that Mayor Adams is not the target of the probe but there are less than 6 degrees of separation between him and the folks being investigated. Maybe this trump card is a way of keeping Mayor Adams in check when it comes to those all expenses paid migrants popping up in NYC. 😎

@Stefan Got an honest question for you............. I know we don't see eye to eye on a lot of topics however I personally see you as an intelligent and quite informed individual. However I'm curious to know why are you a Christian and why do you believe in the Bible? Do you have some sort of personal testimony that influenced your faith?

I've been watching the footage of the Israel-Hamas war over the past few weeks and I tend to gravitate towards the Youtube channels that claim to offer LIVE footage. But the thing I've noticed is that most of these channels CLEARLY aren't live. You turn on one channel that claims to be live and it's bright and sunny outside. Click on another one and it's midnight dark outside. Yet both of them claim to be "live" from the same region! You click on a channel claiming to be live and you see images of people running out of apartments and being ushered into shelters while sirens go off. The problem is, you saw those EXACT SAME IMAGES 3 weeks ago when the c…

Long before any Israelities set foot on any land near the Sea of Galilee, it was the Caananites who had inhabited the property that is called Israel and Palestine. In fact, Melchizedek, who was both a high priest and King of the city of Salem, likely ruled over the forerunner to modern-day Jerusalem. (Hebrews 5:10) When the Israelites departed Egypt around 1513 B.C. under the direction of Moses, there were no Jews living in the Holy Land. So it was not from time immemorial. They did not even enter their Promised Land for another 40 years, having sinned at the foot of Mount Sinai. Only then, under the guidance of their commanding general Joshua, did Jews first …

Sen. Tim Scott announced that he is suspending his presidential campaign. The South Carolina Republican senator made the announcement in a televised interview on Fox News with his longtime friend Trey Gowdy. The news came as a shock to his own staff.

This question is in reaction to @Pioneer1's conversation where he asked the question, "Who among you have had DIRECT experience with and/or DIRECT communication with a Higher Power than human beings?" Speaking directly to a higher power would also be considered miraculous. Do you believe in miracles? I think many of us do. I was talking to a someone who related the story of how they prayed over a friend who was at death's door and the person survived -- a miracle to everyone involved. Some would say that survival of any ADOS in this country is a miracle. A great many people have prayed for our survival indeed it is a cliche to sa…

Google has an effective monopoly in search; they eclipse all other search engines combined. Google's YouTube dominance is so complete I'm sure you're unable to name three competitors. Google has exploited this dominance in many ways that have hurt the web overall -- particularly as it relates to Black people. Now this is nothing new and I have written about this subject over the last 15 years. Given the lack of reaction, particularly from those most effected, I gave up trying to highlight the problems caused by Google's dominance. This is no different than the reactions to my decrying Amazon and social media. But the current trend…
