Culture, Race & Economy

Someone forwarded this to me today on Facebook with the instructions to "forward this every Black person you know." I have to admit I was a little excited because i thought now, finally, some Black leaders are getting together to take substantive action against the NFL since Colin Kaepernick has been neutralized. I dug a bit deeper into this effort and see that he video was created LAST YEAR! My hopes were dashed because obviously this effort had less than zero impact. Why didn't this effort go viral on the Web? The video has been posted several times on youtube. The one with the most views (that I could find) is shared below. It got less than…

As the gun control debate continues, it only makes defenders of the 2nd amendment more nervous. So, the most logical thing for gun lovers to do is run out and buy more guns before the stores close. I doubt supply chain shortages will affect the gun industry. But, that won't stop folks from making sure they've got more than a couple firearms. Besides, if the government makes it harder for folks under 21 years old to buy an AR-15, those individuals are beating the legislation. Politicians will talk a good game but I do not believe gun laws will change in America. The 2nd amendment generates too much money. 😎

I returned from a trip to SEA last year and I noticed a quite a few differences to where I come from (Vic, Australia). I spent a lot of time in bustling markets and walking around a couple of big cities during my stay overseas, and I actually had a great time there. People were always trying to sell me cheap food, drinks and cloths, everything was well priced and Asian people were always willing to help me. They often asked for a few baht to help them out for their trouble, but that is only a few aussie dollars anyway, so no problem. The sun was always out, it was always warm even in the winter and there was always something to do. There were many bars where the food and …

It will surely seem as if Christmas has arrived a second time for White Supremacists in Florida. That’s because Jair Bolsonaro, the White skinned and defeated President of Brazil, has left his country to head for the Sunshine State. This gives the southernmost U.S. state on the mainland three racists in residence: former President Trump, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and the demented Bolsonaro. According to a few news reports, Bolsonaro is headed for Orlando, Fla., the land of make-believe and Disney. ( When you wish upon a star that every Blackie lives afar. ) like Trump Bolsonaro, refused to attend the inauguration of the man who whupped his ass at the p…

What do yall think of this White man's theory of Reality: I'm sure Rodney, Del, and Cynique will find his observations interesting....lol

This aired on the Chris Rock show sometime between 1997 and 2000. It is interesting that back in 2000, then State Senator, Pastor Clementa Pinckney, who was murdered in the massacre at the Emanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston, South Carolina, voted for the Confederate flag’s display at the Statehouse on May 3, 2000. Six of the seven black senators voted for the measure; one did not vote. Apparently, the vote was a compromise despite strong opposition by the NAACP.

@Troy @Mel Hopkins @Cynique @Pioneer1 Apparently you can't trust NASA to provide accurate data since 1980. Interesting how 1980 seems to be an important year. For Climate change . All projections are based on 1986 - 2005. So all of Climate Change is based on 30 years of data. But perhaps Forbes Magazine is more convincing https://www.forbes.com/sites/larrybell/2011/07/19/nasas-inconvenient-ruse-the-goddard-institute-for-space-studies/#b03521969632 In a Jan. 29, 2006, New York Times interview Hansen charged that NASA public relations people had pressured him to allow them to review future public lectures, papers and postings on the GISS website.

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…

When I went to post our review of Stand Your Ground on social media, this morning, the following conversation (see below was on my Facebook wall. Since I don't do Facebook conversations anymore (just here and other indie websites) I did not participate, but the conversation intrigued me because I know the principle participants. Timmothy McCann who launched this assault on the president has been writing books for as long as I've had this website. His early novels were bestsellers here. Gwen Richardson, started a website called Cushcity shortly after I launched AALBC.com. She runs the National Black Book Festival, has published a few books and is my partner on The Pow…

I learned about this film listening to a podcast of This American Life, who produced this film. This American Life podcast of Heretics: the story of Bishop Carlton Pearson Your browser does not support the audio element. It tells the story of Bishop Carlton Pearson, a very successful preacher who began preaching that there is no Hell and the God loves everyone -- even if they are not "saved." I enjoyed both the podcast and the film.

@Cynique From Wikipedia In the religion of theosophy and the philosophical school called anthroposophy, the Akashic records are a compendium of all universal events, thoughts, words, emotions and intent ever to have occurred in the past, present, or future in terms of all entities and life forms, not just human. They are believed by theosophists to be encoded in a non-physical plane of existence known as the mental plane. There are anecdotal accounts but no scientific evidence for the existence of the Akashic records.[1][2][3] Akasha (ākāśa आकाश) is the Sanskrit word for "æther", "sky", or "atmosphere".[4] Naming the ability to record data; Akas…

I hope I'm not just wasting time and space with this thread. I hope atleast a few people can relate to this. The profound social scientist and philosopher Neely Fuller Jr. coined a term for a tactic of White Racism that is often used in the workplace and society in general called "Environmental Error Factors". It's a broad and kind of vague term but what he talks about actually exists and I've been noticing it for a long time although I didn't have a particular name for it. It goes a little something like..... White racists in positions of authority....whether on the job, in the government, etc...will get together and come up with laws or rules or polic…

WHOOPI GOLDBERG IN THE NEWS AGAIN FOR ANOTHER COMMENT ABOUT THE JEWS Apparently, Whoopi made comments againt that allude to her belief that the Holocaust was not ORIGINALLY Racial. For this reason, a Jewish organization wants her to apologize again and some feel that she should be fired from her job. Well, I read some reports about her comments, and although, it's obvious to me that the Holocaust was definitely a full scale racist attack against the European Jews, however, Whoopi did not make it clear, in what she was referring to about other major issues too that involved EUGENICS in regards to others. When did the Eugenic Movement occur? This needs to be cla…

I was announced today that for the first time in history of the US more white people are dying than being born. Here is a Ceerios commercial featuring an interracial couple. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYofm5d5Xdw And another from Blockbuster Video A reaction to the Blockbuster video commercial is show below (taken from Youtube). General Mills decided to disable comments on Youtube - WHIMPS! They are "bold" enough to air a commercial, they feel "reflects the consumer" but can't tolerate the reaction from those same consumers -- they care so much about.

Google Ads Has anyone noticed that the Google ads are gone? If found them increasingly intrusive and irritating. I've also reduced the number ads running throughout the rest of the site. My Google ad revenue is down substantially, but it is worth it, at least for now. Basically, I let Google put ads anywhere they wanted and they really took advantage of the site. They would have full screen ads pop up as you went from one page to the next, The would out two or three ads (often the same ones) right in the middle text you are trying to read. If I put ads on my site, the way Google inserted them, Google would bury their search results, for pro…

Social Media Bots Offer Phony Friends and Real Profit "...a giant pyramid scheme has emerged on social media, where fake friends now command real money." Earlier in the year I attended a presentation given by Black Enterprise (BE). BE is a publication I respect and have supported for many years, I sold countless subscriptions to the magazine for years, though not as many in the last few years. I also subscribed myself, though not currently. BE held a presentation on social media in which they touted the benefits of using the major social media platform to promote your business. I'm already a bit tight because I feel BE should be pro…

Not many are able to handle reality, but this is the truth about how our world exploits the whole of the Black race. I wrote this blog recently and would like to share: http://www.dearricky.com/2015/07/21/the-exploitation-of-black-people/

What Hapened to Shanquella Robinson? This is a disturbing story. I feel so much sorrow for what that precious young woman has endured and the awful way that she had to suffer and then die. It is my opinion that she was obviously murdered and perhaps set up, then brutally attacked while a group of evil people that she thought were her friends watched. I just can't believe that someone would have that kind of spirit to do that to someone. No one deserves this. If someone had a problem with her, then they should have given her the human right to be tried in a court of law. But at what point did this premeditated death trap begin for this poor girl? Was it planned…

ENTITLEMENT? Black Women Arrested for Mass Shooting This viral video showed up on Bing this morning however, it happened a few days ago. A young Black woman of Atlanta, Georgia, Raissa Kengne, went on a killing rampage and was caught in the airport trying to flee. She shot and killed two (2) men and wounded another and also attempted to kill another, but she could not find him. The story went completely viral, and the comments and opinions are wildly varied. Raissa has been living in Atlanta for a few years, however, she is from Africa and from Cameroon. She went to college and succeeded in obtaining a degree and t…

I have noticed a number of black women comfortable while the usa burn art #bwcwtub I for one have said it many times, black women, in majority, have made the usa be the country it is today in terms of some level of meritocracy in various fields or the individual allowance that has allowed the lgbtq+ the atheist or other populaces that are usually stymied to death in all other governments in humanity. Not the majority , with varying intensity grades, of : white men/the cruel slaver, white women/the envy-proud trickster slavers wives, black men/the obsessively violent enslaved, First people male or female/the near completely annihilated or contorted , or imm…

To @Pioneer1's point, I find it interesting that white folks feel comfortable showing up @ AALBC a discussion forum primarily for Black folks. Whenever said white folks do post anything, it's mostly to criticize and/or point out the flaws in Black folks. The same white folks who show up here don't seem to offer anything positive or constructive nor do they provide a solution for what white folks will do to eliminate the system of racism white supremacy. I would dare not show show up on a white extremist or KKK or Duck Dynasty website talking about how white folks need to stop inbreeding, smoking crystal meth, mass killing each other …

Many blacks have been called “ Uncle Tom’s” including myself. I actually wear that with a badge of honor. I noticed a common theme, almost every black that is called an Uncle Tom is a responsible law abiding citizen . An “Uncle Tom “ wakes up every morning and goes to work, takes care of his family, and leads a responsible lifestyle. You will rarely see an Uncle Tom in prison or having a bunch of out of wedlock children. An Uncle Tom supports family structure and 2 parent household’s which our black community so desperately needs. Its extremely troubling that a black man who is a hard working family man and lives a responsible lifestyle is frowned upon in our communit…

I saw on local news , black people talking about Juneteenth , and voting was mentioned as an action, besides the ever common mentioning of Black folk in the past. I will not repeat the details , but all the representatives of my district from the city to the congress are black and donkeys. Now, they haven't done anything brilliant but I don't know what more can a black populace in a district in the usa do then choose a candidate that says they will do better. Voters don't have a gun to anyone's head. They can't force anything. But a question occurred to me. if 100% of black people, who were eligible to vote, voted in the USA, what action will be uttered by the …

According to some of you, high interest rates and these pay-day loan stores sprinkled around the ghetto are the causes of poverty in the AfroAmerican community and elsewhere. So by that logic..... We can go to a wealthy community, place a bunch of pay-day loan businesses on each block, get the banks and other lending institutions to charge high interest rates to their customers, sit back and wait and pretty soon THOSE wealthy communities will be impoverished too! Right? Since....as some of you claim...they are the CAUSES of poverty. Or on the reverse...... If we TAKE AWAY the predatory lending institutions in the hood and force the banks and…

Do some of you SERIOUSLY not see the GAME these wicked devils are playing and have BEEN playing in Washington D.C. for years???? Do you SERIOUSLY believe they were going to let their own economy "crash and burn" out of some petty disagreement? No....I told you guys the other day that this so-called "debt ceiling/ default crisis" was just some STUNT that the leaders of BOTH parties were pulling in order to trick the American people into accepting more austerity. They've BEEN planning to take away from Social Security, Health Care, Education, and other benefits but had to come up with a crafty and sneaky way to do it and more importantly JUSTIFY it. They…

It's not easy to challenge racism or work for positive social change. Most of us are just trying to live and work regular lives. Being an activist or running for elected office is an impossible task for most people. Maybe black people are no different from anyone else in this regard. At the same time when you look at the black community blaming all the problems solely on racism or economic injustice doesn't make sense. Black people mess up like anyone else. We succeed or fail based on individualism as much as fighting against racism. There are things we must do as people beyond struggle. These things are moral and spiritual. Other issues can be addressed by black communit…

Why All The Reports About Nuclear Bombs? High altitude balloons, like the one China has floated over mountain state military bases this week, are considered a key “delivery platform” for secret nuclear strikes on America’s electric grid, according to intelligence officials. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/dry-run-balloons-called-top-delivery-platform-for-nuclear-emp-attack/ar-AA174OkJ?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=c86af376050b4cc6b774464b53dab6e1 ______________________________________________________________________________ Yesterday, I saw a report about 'What to do if a nuclear bomb is dropped'.

I love language. And nothing impresses me more than succinct concisness. Words can be weapons. Neither can it be denied that talk is cheap nor that "brevity is the soul of wit". Is it any wonder that as I meander toward yet another birthday, this whimsical meme brought pause in my ongoing search for the meaning of "LIFE" . Having a sense of humor helps... Did I mention that outliving Pope Francis embarrasses me? RIP, ol fella.

The last i head, this is supposed to be a free country. And black people above all, are constantly striving to exercise their freedom. Because blacks are not all of one mind, some blacks have a problem when it comes to freedom of appearance. They are luke warm about diversity and want to dictate, judge, and criticize the choices of certain other blacks who resist the herd mentality of black brain washing that can be as restraining as white control. These Afro-centric vigilants, awash in their patented rhetoric, have taken on the role of deciding how black women, in particular, are obligated to look, and they are perfectly comfortable with imposing their …

https://www.msnbc.com/the-reidout/reidout-blog/reparations-california-legislative-black-caucus-rcna137057 Leave it up to Black bootlicks and shills to undermine Black folks. Cash payments to FBA/ADOS should be a cornerstone of any type of reparations package. Too many Black politicians and entertainers are sellouts and the most dangerous folks among us. Those Black folks work overtime upholding the system of white supremacy at the expense of our people.😎

Black people are not monolithic. There are political differences among us like anyone else. Moreover Conservative Black Republicans have become more visible and vocal since the Reagan Era in the 1980s. But I wonder if differences extend to dating and marriage among black people. Can two black people with very different political views have a relationship, and even be in love? I know from reading this is rare among white people who tend to date, marry, and socialize with those holding similar political views. What about us ?

Something about this entire case and the way the media is covering it doesn't sit right with me..... First of all, even before the media started calling it fake and Smollet was arrested, different bits and pieces of information were being leaked by the media from the start to make people question the case. This makes me wonder if the mainstream media KNEW more about this story being "fake" from being begining and just ran with it anyway. And if so, WHY would they intentionaly follow a false story. Secondly, he's being arrested and charged with filing a false police report that is being called a felony and people are claiming he's facing time in jail. People cons…

Yes, it’s me. The Lone Poster. Hi-Ho Silver, here I go. Got my gun cocked ready to take some pot shots. My target? The easiest one in sight. Television. TV is currently overrun with reality shows, encouraged undoubtedly by the ratings which attest to how voyeuristic viewers have become, seemingly mesmerized by narcissistic airheads whose vicissitudes allow audiences to either empathize with or live vicariously through them. Who needs soap operas or sit-coms when you can watch exhibitionists be their own obnoxious selves. And who can deny that truth is stranger than fiction? Guess it’s easier to observe the bizarre than to read a book. Just ask Snookie. Or Kim. …

While updating information about Neely Fuller in conjunction with an upcoming book about the work of Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, The Osiris Papers (Welsing was influenced by Fuller's work). @Pioneer1 I guess your views on human sexuality as it perhaps to Black men is reflected in this video?

In some Black Nationalist circles and on YouTube, there is this thought that interracial marriages will lead to the end of the black race (at least in America). Nothing could be further from the truth. White Nationalist also believe this about their race but there is a difference. White people are drastically declining in their population due to low birth rates. The death rate among white people is higher than the birth rate. This is the reason why in America, Europe, and even in Ukraine there is a rise in white supremist and nationalist groups. They feel that white people are on the verge of extinction. …

Is it me, or does it seem like wearing those masks make many women look more attractive? Just going to the grocery store gets me worked up now as I see dozens of women of all ages rolling around with masks on and I'm seeing one set of pretty eyes after another. Even women I'm intimate with and am already attracted to, when I see them with that mask on it's like meeting someone new for the first time....lol. It reminds me of those old television shows when a man invades an Arabian harem and sees a bunch of women laying around half naked with mask on. All you see is a pair of pretty eyes batting and staring at you. …

@Delano, I trust you are your's are safe. However I was wondering it the inferno raging across the country you live in has changed your opinion on climate change. The reason it occurred to me is the U.S.'s coverage, of the Australian coverage, of the unprescenced fires raging across your continent. Apparently, Rupert Murdoch's media conglomerate is doing everything in its power to push the agenda that climate change is not a factor in the fires. This led me to believe Murdoch's influence may be -- even unconsciously -- influencing your stance on man.s influence on the climate. Media also made me think about our bets in 45 presidency. You and @Ka…

https://www.foxnews.com/world/who-barbecue-gang-leader-wreaking-havoc-haiti @Pioneer1, dysfunctional Black folks arent unique to the USA.🤣 All h8ll is breaking lose in Haiti. The de facto dude in charge calls himself Barbecue. Last week, the wife of President Jovenel Moïse was charged along with others in his 2021 assassination. A country run by Black folks can't get right. Of course, foreigners interfere in their affairs but there's no shortage of greed and corruption among the Haitian people too. 😎

After years of doing what I "thought" were the right things in life I'm beginning to understand that.....atleast for myself personally.....following the rules and taking the advice that Caucasians give for success doesn't work most of the time for me and it doesn't seem to work for MOST OTHER AfroAmericans either. From my personal experiences and observations, following MY OWN rules or the rules and advice of other successful AfroAmericans work much much better and yeild more successful results. I like what Dr. Boyce Watkins said recently: He said Black men and women need to make OUR OWN rules. He said you aren't gong to be succes…

LOL. If you think the arguing and debunking that has been going on here from day one will suddenly reverse itself, Antonio, and everybody is going be of one mind, you're in for a rude awakening. Like Troy suggests, this is an open forum where a lively exchange of ideas prevails, and nobody is encouraged to defer to another person just for the sake of harmony. Different opinions are the name of the game here, because this broadens the perspective and keeps things interesting. The regulars here routinely argue and feud with each other and then move on. We don't really take each other that seriously and "insults" roll off our backs. There does, however, seem to be a consen…
