So LiLi, is that what it is? I mean, I don't know how to do what? Use Twiiter? Come on Scare Crow... I mean LiLi, admit it, you’re just lost in a Poppy Field. I mean, you're doing what? Following? What's with "follow me on Twitter"??!! That sounds like something Dorothy would say to the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion... "follow me down the Twitter (yellow brick) road". See, I've been called a dog but I am not Toe-Dough or Toto. I mean, follow you where? Listen, Twitter ain’t nothing but a Drive-by shooting. They should call it Jitter because any ol'crackhead could say "Hi, whatcha doing, catch ya later". I mean, WTH is going on? Really, isn't that system…

Below is an interesting comment to an article on the site, "The Music Moguls Who Bled Millions from a Black Legend" by Reclamation Project. (Note: Someone from the Nation must have given me permission to run this article and I must have had an explicit reason to run it as I rarely republish entire articles that have been published elsewhere it is bad for SEO) What do you think about the article linked at the end of the commentor's post ("Motown’s abuse of its artists")? In an earlier version of the comment Minister Farrakhan was referred to as "Sinister Farra-Con." I deleted that version as the comments were the same save the gratuitous diss. J…

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 …

I remember years ago when I first started posting on message boards there was this one British site I used to post on which was for the most part a typical message board where people posted their random thoughts, music, events, and ofcourse petty gripes and beefs back and forth. However it had a VERY WIDE range of individuals from all backgrounds of society who used to post on it from attorneys to revolutionaries to college students to rappers. The professional and academic people would often get tired of interacting with the general public of the forum and would go off to a secret spot where only they knew about and would "invite" who they wanted to participate. T…

I love it when Black people from different cultures sit down to dialog together, even if we may disagree from time to time. BTW, Watch out for that African sister on the right with the grape kool-aid lip stick! She's a HOT mess....lol.

I happened to be watching this video this morning and when my man said THAT part (somewhere around the 11 minute mark) about hiring somebody to walk the dog instead of doing it themselves because they could make way more money doing something else, I immediately thought of the discussion we had the other day when some of you informed me that most wealthy Black people would rather HIRE somebody to change the batteries of their smoke detector or do other simple household things. It was hard for me to believe that because as I said before, I don't know a whole lot of wealthy Black people personally. I know SOME...but most of the Black people I know are either professi…

I found the article below which not surprisingly appeared on the Fox News site interesting because it's an example of how this election is not only polarizing the country but is reinforcing a rift in the black community. Voting for Obama has become a litmus test for a person's blackness. Race still matters. This time next month what will the situation be?? I hope the election is not a close one because I don't know what Blacks will do if Obama loses. Will they simply be demoralized or will they be in a rebellious state of mind?? I think white people will handle a Romney loss better. They are not passionate in their support for his candidacy but have lost confidence …

If you are a reader wondering why it seems harder to discover good websites, or you run website or Blog that writes about authors or books you need to read this article. The Pimping of Wikipedia: Contributing to the Decline of the World Wide Web The mid- and late 1990s was an exciting time for the Web because so much new, rarely shared, or difficult-to-access information was now accessible. Today, there is more reason for concern, outrage even, than there is for excitement. The reasons are plentiful. One reason is the pimping of Wikipedia. (the full article: http://aalbc.it/pimpwiki) )

This news completely surprised me. This is what happens when you actively avoid consuming content on social media I guess. When I connected to Twitter to check on engagement (from a tweet I send out through MailChimp), I saw a flash of a big "X" and then I noticed the same Big X on the upper left had side of my screen. I hadn't even noticed the blue bird was gone. I thought it was a bug; after a quick search, only then did I learn Twitter was killed by Musk in favor of his new social media Platform "X," https://x.com. Nothing has changed. It is probably a publicity stunt (which I'm feeding into). Well if it will get Black peopl…

Comedian Jimmy Kimmel ran afoul of the current administration in his monolgue referencing the unalived white nationalist was killed by one of MAGA's own. The FCC chairman had already threatened to punish Jimmy Kimmel for his remarks. Parent company Nexstar went a step further in sitting him down indefinitely. This comes on the heels of AG Pam Bondi saying hate speech will be prosecuted. Nevermind having to hurdle the 1st amendment. Jimmy Kimmel is already rich. He's not worried about having a job or money. Being censored is the bigger concern. Now, the average person with a *job* has to worry about what they tweet, post or…

"The death of Trayvon Martin was a tragedy. Not just for his family, or for any one community, but for America. I know this case has elicited strong passions. And in the wake of the verdict, I know those passions may be running even higher. But we are a nation of laws, and a jury has spoken. I now ask every American to respect the call for calm reflection from two parents who lost their young son. And as we do, we should ask ourselves if we’re doing all we can to widen the circle of compassion and understanding in our own communities. We should ask ourselves if we’re doing all we can to stem the tide of gun violence that claims too many lives across this country on …

Good Deeds -In Theaters: Feb 24, 2012 Wide http://aalbc.com/reviews/good_deeds.html

I was asked to give a little insight into the 50s decade and to offer an opinion as to whether things were better then than they are now. Sorting out my sentiments about those times was an exercise in mixed feelings, but I’ve tried, and this one’s for you, Troy. The 1950s have often been referred to as a time of innocence, and we who made up its younger population were tagged the “silent generation”. Born in the 1930s during the Depression, coming of age during the 1940s when World War I I raged, - the silent generation eventually became a group who rather than rocking the boat, rocked cradles as the 1950s ushered in a time of us marrying and giving bir…

@Chevdove The conflict in Sudan is not a proxy war between the U.S. and Russia. It is violent battle between two men who were once friends. However, both men fear the prospect of free elections in Sudan. Abdel Fattah Abdelrahman al-Burhan is the Sudanese army general who has ruled Sudan since Omar al-Bashir was overthrown in a series of revolutionary protests in 2019. In August of that year, Burhan became head of the Sovereign Council and de facto ruler of Sudan. The Council was comprised of civilian and military leaders that were supposed to oversee a transition towards elections, according to a news report from Al Jazeera. But Burhan, who dissolved…

This video was posted on the Atlantic's website as part of Ta-Nehisi Coates's cover story, "The Case for Reparations." While I shared and read this 16 thousand word article, I missed the attached video. I missed the video because I printed the article a read it offline. After using a program to strip out all the images and ads; the article was still 24 pages long. I just don't like reading articles this long on a screen--consider me old school (I know I'm not alone). I don't think I was the only one to missed the video. The version The Atlantic posted on YouTube was only viewed 1,900 times and it was posted last May, this is a remarkably small number of views given th…

Should I create a Facebook page for my dad? My dad passed in 1979 and without getting into all the details, suffice it to say that I did not know him very well. The profile would be a place where I can post some of his old super videos, a few photos, and some biographical information. Others could post info too. My thinking is that one it would be not a memorial, but an interactive archive of sorts. I might even learn more about my dad from the potential contribution of people I don't even know. If Facebook (or the internet lasts) my children's children could learn about their ancestor. Ancestry.com provides a similar service but it is not as accessible…

Well, as the dog days of August approach, on the threshold of into the last month of the 2017 summer season, what hot topics have recently piqued our interest and inspired our indifference. Let's see. Power couple, Beyonce and JayZ, welcomed their twins, naming them "Sir" and "Rumi". Jesus! i'm beginning to think that nowadays celebs brand their newborns instead of naming them, looking upon them as merchandise and accessories, assuming the world is just awaiting to hail who will turn out to be spoiled brats reeking with entitlement, and deluded into thinking they are special. Word has it that Queen B is breastfeeding her babies, something which i find fu…

Where are all the beautiful, powerful, black-skinned females from mythology and history? They were erased by Western art, argues Sophia Smith Galer. By Sophia Smith Galer BBC, January 16, 2019 It’s a complex story – of European racism as well as how useful black biblical figures were to those who wanted to teach religion through art – that helps to explain the absence of black figures in art history. For Michael Ohajuru on his art tours, that’s why it’s all the more important to try and locate the few representations of the black Queen of Sheba and the black Andromeda – and to find out why they disappeared. The huge influence that Western art history…

https://foxsportsradio.iheart.com/content/2024-02-21-kansas-city-chiefs-parade-shooter-told-police-he-was-just-being-stupid/ Unfortunately, in an episode of dumb sh8t n8gglets do, a 23-year-old Black man decided to pull a gun and start shooting at another group of dudes with whom he had words. The shooter claimed he pulled his gun because he feared the young woman with him might get shot by someone from the other group. Reads like he was showing off. The argument stemmed from the shooter looking at the other group. That's dumb n8gglet sh8t right there. A set of eyeballs should not lead to shots fired. Further down the road o…

Seven Degrees of the Self Hating Negro 1. "I apologize": Typically the "Black Friend". No backbone, constantly apologizes for negro shenanigans that has nothing to do with them. 2. " I made it": "I made it and you should, too!" is their motto. Any success for them means negroes just aren't trying hard enough. 3. "My family white": Not to be confused with self hating biracials, this degree has relatives who married white and now they're embarrassed by all the things they suddenly notice is inferior about negro culture up against white culture. 4. "I hate my look": Absolutely despises all negro features and tries to actively b…

Recently I've been highlighting married couple who have written books and maintained successful marriages. Doing one is difficult. Doing both is rare and I think really noteworthy. Apparently that idea puts me in the minority. With the exception of the Obama's, so much time an energy is spent focusing on the negative aspects of marriage: The astonishingly high divorce rates, the out of wed lock babies the disintegration of the Black family, the Will and Jada Smiths of the world, etc I figured I'd invest a little energy to buck the trend and highlight the positive. I've used Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter to highlight couple ranging from Mr. & Mrs. Jaquavis and…

Not sure why but driving around today listening to my favorite music and even being forced to listen to some of that new Gen Z shit kids are calling Hiphop today, for some reason I became AMAZED at how well put together the lyrics are in music in general and in Black music in specific. Both the Rap AND the RnB. Seems to me it would be hard enough to come up with enough words that rhyme with each other to make an entire 5 minute song, let alone an album....AND make it all make sense with themes and story lines! AND make them sound smooth and witty and catchy! One of the songs I was listening to was an old one from Nelly where he said something…

As far as I can tell the following article was originally written around 2003, but perhaps several years earlier. I discovered it on the Talking Drum Website and they attribute the article to the afronet.com website, which appears to be defunct now (my browser warns me that the domain now hosts malware). As some of you know, I've been on a prolonged rant about the state of the Black internet for the last year or so. It was interesting to read Cinque's article and see mach of what he predicted has actually happened. The alarming thing is that so few people even notice. Of course, the reason is that there are not enough Black platforms to raise the issue or that are…

Day 1-Summers’ End-New Year & HALLOWEEN- It’s NOT Solar but A Lunar Based Holiday When I asked students to choose whether a popular symbol for Halloween would be either the sun or the moon, the unanimous answer has always been ‘THE MOON’. At times the CRESCENT MOON becomes associated with Halloween but mostly it would be a FULL MOON: For many, Halloween becomes a favorite holiday, however, many Christians refer to this holiday as a Harvest Festival. But what has never been taught in my Church education or in the secular curriculum as well would be the scientific truth about Halloween. Because of the Separat…

Over 20 years ago I moved back to my old neighborhood, with my family. In many ways it was a completely different neighbor. There was far less crime and no vacant lots. Banks, grocery stores, and other businesses one would expect in a community were now present. @Delano has been to this place. The generified Harlem. Technically, I was a "gentrifier," someone coming into an impoverished neighborhood with contrasting middle class values. Having come from the very neighborhood, I knew better than to come in with guns blazing trying to impose bougie middle class values on the people already there. This is a mistake my white counterpart often made. …

BY SOULFIRE LOOK! THE SELF-REINFORCING THEORY When you take a look at your personal history, the one thing you will be forced to contend with is the fact that what you are doing right now is establishing a reputation that is sure to outlive you.

Long after you are dead and gone, your deeds will continue to testify either for or against you. Oftentimes, the preacher will embellish his eulogy to make you seem more saintly than you actual…
