There has been a war against Black Americans Families from the very beginning of the founding of the nation. The diabolic truth is that Black Lives have been devalued as and replaced with false concepts and notions. The current debate of country pits Black women against Black babies. It’s the culmination of decades of White women grievances being injected into the Black woman psyche. Black women are the natural rivals of White women who have always looked down on them and as a threat. Babies are not a mechanism to enslave Black women. Black babies are the future and legacy of Black people. We must stand up against frivolous abortion and reserve tha…

I have a blog radio talk show held Monday through Friday beginning in February 2010 from 10:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. at www.blogradio.com. The first week topic will be” Should Sex Be Preach and Taught in the Pulpit?” As you are aware, the HIV/AIDS epidemic among African Americans is growing in rapid numbers. I am challenging the Churches to take more responsibility to teach their members about sex without condemning them. Please let me know what you think by completing the comment form on my website www.changemybehavior.net. I will read your comments on the show. Thanks.

I'm not dealing with the movie itself, but it's advertisement because far more people will see THAT than will take time to even watch the movie. It has the Black woman portraying a witch and the White girl (who's actually brunette in real life) with her hair dyed blonde and wearing a tiara representing goodness. It's a damn shame so many people don't even see the obvious racist undertones of how this movies is being advertised...as the one before it....and the psychological damage it's doing to Black children. Some of you are sitting up smiling right now wondering what the big deal is. FOOL How many times do we have to go in FUCKING CIR…

"Is that a right of life when the young children of this country are being reared into a sphere which is more owned by 12 men than it is by 120,000,000 people?” Senator -Huey P. Long If only history were studied more, there would be less surprises and a lot less strategic issues. If people would study history, they would know that "today's crisis" is often old news. This address was delivered by Senator Huey Long in 1934: Radio Address by Senator Huey P. Long, of Louisiana, February 23, 1934 Ladies and Gentlemen: — I have only 30 minutes in which to speak to you this evening, and I, therefore, will not be able to discuss in detail so much as I can wr…

I have a cousin, approaching 50 years of age that lives in Philly. He is always lamenting the derth of available women. His argument is that most of the women his age, that are available are simply too fat. The data seems to support his observations: http://runt.it/fasinfat In many ways this is sad. I've also read that this generation is the first one whose life expectancy will be LOWER than the orevious one -- primarily due to obseity.

I belive it because black youth dont know who they are. There are no positive roll models. Most guys they look up to are ether drug dealers or users. single mothers raising boys by themselvles. boy still crave they male image to look up to. There is no direction for our youths on a positive level. Look at china they have currulim for study starting they childern very young. knowledge instills disiplent and thats what our youths need.

TROY, I tried to post as you gave me permission to. But I'm still being harassed by the GOON-LOSERS here. XEON credits me for everyone's post--something I have no benefit or need for. Schakspir, Book Fan and a slew of other "Kola haters" consistently SMEAR my name and use every opportunity to peddle lies and exaggerations about my past. THE HATRED of me will never die. It just won't ever go away. So while I love so many people here who support me and appreciate your attempt to be civil and businesslike, I can't deal with the "Trolls" suddenly popping up & everyone blaming ME for it. I am NOT responsible for any posts here but tho…

I am pleased that two paramedics have been sentenced to serve time behind bars. BUT IT IS NOT ENOUGH! Elijah should not have been stopped in the first place. And after he was stopped, judging from his mannerisms and his timid behavior, he should have been let go.

There are Black majority cities in America like Atlanta, Detroit, Baltimore, and even Jackson Mississippi. What if Black politicians at the municipal level began working with wealthy black entrepreneurs to develop and diversity local economies especially disadvantaged neighborhoods ? Think about it. What if we pooled public and private resources to replicate what Geoffrey Canada did with the Harlem Children's Zone in New York City ? After all a good start early in life in a livable environment comes before any kind of academic achievement or entrepreneurial success. Right? Secondly, what if black business people and politicians formed public/pri…

1:02 Thank you for saying the truth. I wonder what your thoughts are to non documentarian biopics influencing how people view identities in history? 1:53 The movie was written by Stefani Robinson < https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/atlanta-writer-stefani-robinson-talks-female-creator-label-1130971/ > I Quote her "Being a woman is not in the forefront of my mind every second of every day.

Ted Talks Video: From simple alphabets to secret symbolic languages, graphic designer Saki Mafundikwa celebrates the many forms of written communication across the continent of Africa. He highlights the history and legacy that are embodied in written words and symbols, and urges African designers to draw on these graphic forms for fresh inspiration. It's summed up in his favorite Ghanaian glyph, Sankofa, which means "return and get it" -- or "learn from the past." The Book Afrikan Alphabets: The Story of Writing in Afrika Hardcover by Saki Mafundikwa A used version of this book is $450 Afrikan alphabets have a rich cultural an…

At over 20 years old......AALBC is literally an INSTITUTION right now. A Black Literary institution. I HAVE said over the years that AALBC should receive an ENDOWMENT. Sort of like colleges and universities receive from various agencies like governments, corporations, and even their successful alumni. I think those of us who've benefited from AALBC whether from Troy selling our books, giving our literature free reviews, giving our poetry a place to be read, or just giving us a platform to speak....should show appreciation. I've said often that if I were wealthy I ABSOLUTELY would be sending in funds to not only expand and promote this site but I …

Today's my 84th birthday. I'm amazed that I'm still around. Grateful that i can separate life from living. One i observe, the other i do. One day at a time.

In the twilight of my years, there are a lot of things about which i've been trying to not let my baser instincts prevail. But lately, i have become inundated with current events that i am just not compatible with or sympathetic about. In my ongoing search for the truth, i have begun to look inward and if i am to be honest, i have no choice but to confess that i am descending into a state of "i don't give a damnism". i am not proud of this but the truth is not always pretty and, in my case, there are many things that have neutralized my humanity and no longer inspire my concern. Where to begin? What don't i give a damn about? Well, i don't care about the p…

"If we must die, let it not be like hogs, Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot, While round us bark the mad and hungry dogs, Making their mock at our accursed lot. If we must die, oh, let us nobly die So that our precious blood may not be shed In vain; then even the monsters we defy Shall be constrained to honor us, though dead! Oh, kinsman! We must meet the common foe; Though far outnumbered, let us still be brave, And for their thousand blows deal one death-blow! What though before us lies the open grave? Like men we’ll face the murderous, cowardly pack, Pressed to the wall, dying, but - fighting back!" Messenger Magazine was one…

Over two days, there have been two mass shootings in California to make national news. The 1st occurred during Lunar New Year celebration in an Asian community. The Asian gunman killed 10 people and wounded 10 before killing himself. The year of the rabbit is supposed to represent longevity, peace and wealth. This evening, a man killed 7 people and wounded 1 in Half Moon Bay. The shootings occurred in two locations. The suspect has been apprehended. There have been 38 mass shootings in the US since the beginning of 2023. On cue, gun control comes up. Mental health is the real elephant in the room. …

It seems the prospect of alien visitations are likely given the variety of sightings that have been reported. It does not seem like anyone cares very much. It is like the country uttered a collective, “meh.” Why should I be surprised; 600,000 dead Americans from COVID doesn’t invoke alarm, why would little green men?

After Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez managed to get herself elected in a Bronx-Queens, N.Y., district in 2022, Democrats were ecstatic. "She's young! She's smart! She's beautiful. She cares about people" That is what many crowed. I took a wait and see approach. Heady with undeserved praise, AOC believed she was a political goddess. So much so, she decided she was going to end Trump's government shutdown all by herself. So she put on her red lipstick, invited chosen media types to join her as she stomped into the Rayburn Senate Office Building to find Sen. Mitch McConnell and force him to help her. Unfamiliar with the Rayburn building, Ms. Knucklehead got lost. It wa…

LOOK UP! I just thought it would be cool to share this tidbit. If I can catch the news and hear the information about upcoming eclipses tht we might be able to see over here in America, it could be a learning experience in getting better understanding of how eclipses occur. There will be a total lunar eclipse tonight and supposedly viewable in North AMerica... if the clouds don't cover it. Another arrangement like this one is not suppose to occur until over a decade later, I think. And, this one is also a supermoon. Even though this aspect will not be obious, one site explained it pretty well, in that I can understand it. …

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/young-black-voters-2024-biden-1234965054/ Democrats may have problem with Black voters in 2024. Black voters especially under 50 years old are 1) questioning what Democrats have done for them and 2) threatening to vote for the couch. Black folks have mostly voted Democrat for decades knowing Republicans weren't going to do anything for us. The Boomer generation is fine with the status quo comfortable with retirement and social security checks. Gen-X has just enough access to employment opportunities, capitalism and gross materialism to be complacent with t…

In light of the story in the news about the teen in Calumet City (shot and killed by police after his mother called the police to assist her in dealing with him ), I wonder why people are calling the police in these cases to begin with. Maybe it's just me but I would think that the police would be the LAST people a black family should call to help with an out of control teen - especially a boy. I always thought it was common knowledge in our community that the police couldn't be trusted and that if you did end up having to call them, be prepared to be treated like a criminal, even if you're the one needing help. But I'm starting to hear more and more about people ca…

Black youth who are into Hiphop need to start reclaiming our titles. ...tired of seeing Whites, Arabs, and Latinos running around calling themselves "DJ" this and that while Black artists have literally belittled themselves with names like "Young" this and "Lil" that and "Baby" so-n-so.

“At least one of the Facebook ads bought by Russians during the 2016 presidential campaign referenced Black Lives Matter and was specifically targeted to reach audiences in Ferguson, Missouri and Baltimore, sources with knowledge of the ads told CNN. Ferguson and Baltimore had gained widespread attention for the large and violent protests over police shootings of black men. The decision to target the ad in those two cities offers the first look at how accounts linked to the Russian government-affiliated troll farm known as the Internet Research Agency used geographically targeted advertising to sow political chaos in the United States, the sources said.” —Dylan Byers, …

Amazon‘s is profiting from our insecurities with one hand and taking away jobs with the other. Amazon launched this product yesterday. Someone who knew this would tickle my fancy emailed it to me about it. I blogged about it, "Amazon‘s Echo Look: Exploiting Our Inner Narcissist." It seems strange to me that anyone would want this gizmo, but I know Amazon understand people very well, so I'm sure there is a sizeable market. Boy, in a world where companies can profit by writing code that tells women and metrosexuals what to wear, writing code to books makes one feel like an anachronism. Delano, I am a technological dinosaur.

http://www.riverfronttimes.com/locations/sweetie-pies-the-grove-41863/ I was there earlier this week. Had the fried chicken. Black Eyed peas. Cornbread. String beans. All for $9.50. Couldn't eat it all. I met Ms. Montgomery, the former Ikette who runs the place. Got pictures of herself from those days all over the place. You could hardly get in for all the white folks. If you ever come to St. Louis and you aren't robbed assaulted or murdered, you should stop by there (It's in a safe neighborhood, too!)

It turns out the prospective craiglist date who outed him after she Googled his real identity is a fetching mixed-race woman (she describes herself as "black-Irish"). She has a blog called "Fly Black Chick," where she has addressed the episode with verve. In commenting on the story, Zennie Abraham cites a new study about the racial preferences of online daters.

Britannica is Dead -- Good Riddance... Right? I'm as technically oriented as they get, but Britannica discontinuing the publication of their encyclopedia does not strike me as a good thing. What do you think? Here is a related Article: http://www.mediapost...britannica.html

The challenge to black readers in the very near future may not be where to find great writers, but rather where to find the books that our great writers write. What has been happening for quite some time is that our access to quality literature produced by authors of color has surely narrowed, restricting our voice. If this shocking trend continues unabated then there will be little hope that we will emerge from ‘whatever comes next’ intact as a united people. We must heal. Now. Therefore, the big question is not so much a matter of when but how. While it is human to celebrate change when it holds out possibilities for us, but if we, as a people, are going t…

SAD! Why Black Christians vote for Evil Democrats! [January 16, 2024]

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…

https://www.xxlmag.com/wiz-khalifa-indicted-smoking-weed-romania/ Apparently, Brittney Griner getting arrested in Russia didn't send a proverbial memo to other Black athletes and entertainers traveling abroad. Wiiz Khalifa decided to light up and smoke weed onstage in Romania. He should have checked the drug laws in that country before doing his thing. Fame and money do not overcome ignorance and stupidity. The saddest part is that Wiz won't be the last n8gglet to do some dumb sh8t.😎

I think that we would have another 911 attack given his hatred against Muslims.We would have some kind of war because he seems to like nuclear weapons and encourages some countries to build them.We wouldn't be able to use our freedom of speech rights because he told Chief Justice Gingrich to resign for exercising her freedom of speech rights.We probably will have another Civil War with Mexico like the Alamo years ago in Texas.I learned a lot at the DNC Convention.I know Donald Trump was a "pig" but I didn't know he was that greedy that he wouldn't pay his workers.Now he's crying about people telling lies on him.On top of being stupid, ignorant and arrogant, he's too weak …

Our parents were being born into this world a little more than 50 years ago. They were the children of Black Americans born three generations after the abolishment of slavery. But thanks to governmental acceptance of the institution of segregation, they remained second class citizens. Being second class citizens, they did not have access to the best schools and were ineligible for many good paying jobs. Our grandparents refused to allow this form of segregation to remain in place and demanded change. They made a choice to fight for this change by any means neccessary. This choice cost some people their lives and others their freedom. While fighting for these rights, our g…
