This sister right here, Yvette Carnell of Breaking Brown is singing my song. Would you believe just moments before I watched this video I'd emailed the editor of the site http://breakingbrown.com/ to try to understand how they squared their mission with the all the crazy ads they were running. I could not image the trade off in what I viewed as integrity was worth whatever these ads would generate in terms of revenue. This in my mind is far worse that what Googles ads do. I normally don't reach out to editors in this manner, but the Yvette, seems forthright and conscious so I took a chance. Below is a screen shot from the Breaking Brown Websi…

I'll take a break from the Discussion board for a while. Give some others a chance for a little shine. I need to focus more on making money anyway. I'll finish up a few posts tonight and I might post tomorrow or I might not, not sure.....but I'm gonna step back a while.

Many Black Trump supporters, particularly the ones who aren’t famous or super rich, are usually seething inside. They're lacking something socially or emotionally and their false belief they are superior to other Blacks does not fill this void. This is why so many lack empathy for Blacks who are abused, experience misfortunes or are poor. They tend to devalue the misery of those in need. What remains unfathomable to me is how so many blithely ignore Donald Trump’s racism. I blame cognitive dissonance for this. And it occurs in Black Trump supporters because they want to desperately believe he is a successful business man, incredibly moral and smart and supportin…

The tragedy of Rikers and Black elected officials in NYC is how clearly dysfunctional to the needs of the Black community Black elected officials in NYC are. And to be blunt, it relates to Kamala Harris who was the Attorney General of California and... In this forum, I read so many replies to my post concerning black elected officials in the usa that did one of two things. 1) Supported the lack of acting to the black communities specific betterment in the usa by black elected officials in stating a philosophical goal for the usa, that being an aracial human community, that the usa has never been and doesn't seem to be heading to. 2) Placing upon the Black comm…

I said a couple days ago it seems that many in the media were trying to ENCOURAGE people to get out in the streets and riot over the Tyre Nichols beating video! It appears Tariq Nasheed has noticed the same thing: Clearly the media was trying to ENCOURAGE people to riot over this. Why? Not sure, but it seems to me the biggest factor is the fact that most of the cops involved were Black and the main stream White dominated media MADE SURE the world knew this. I believe a couple White cops....finally after pressure from grass roots organizations....have now been charged in Tyre's death but their pictures aren't being s…

The biggest threat to the Black community are Wedlock, dreadlocks, and obesity. Its the top 3 along with the obvious ( Violent crime). Wedlock- no fathers, no family structure, and young mothers. dreadlocks- silly hair style goes hand in hand with tattoo’s, and silly clothing. No one will ever take you seriously. Obesity- particularly black women. Its an epidemic in the black communty as is diabetes. Irresponsible diets in the black community. All of these issue are Self Inflicted and our own fault as a black community.

ICE protesters showed up in a MN church. Unfortunately, the coverage focused on the handful of Black folks who were among them. FBA/AfroAmericans have been relatively silent on conflicts abroad and domestic issues of little to no concern for us. IMO, FBA/AfroAmericans are better served minding our own business in dealing with the issues of racism white supremacy that hurt, harm and affect us. The late Dick Gregory provided prophetic advice as it relates to how FBA/AfroAmericans should respond to these issues. Stay out of it.😎

Sly Stone born 1943

People around Chicago are taken aback over remarks Steadman Graham made during a recent interview on a local TV station. In regard to the subject of Oprah's impending exit from our fair city, anxious to secure his future as her lap dog, Steadman blubbered about how Chicago didn't appreciate all that Oprah has done for it. He even elevated her to biblical status, making reference to how the Good Book states a prophet is never appreciated in their own land, - or some such nonsense. Prophet?? I don't know what the ol girl has ever foreseen with any accuracy other than if you give people cars they'll go crazy even as they calculate the taxes that come with such generosity. …

A funny thing happened on the way to the revolution. Somebody forgot to tell us that, in our rush out the door to join in the riches of the larger society as a result of desegregation, we might want to preserve at least some to the things that made us a self-sustaining community, just in case. Well, with the current high unemployment rates among African-Americans, higher than the nation as a whole, that "just in case" moment may be here. The one thing we may have forgotten to do "just in case"? Mind our own businesses! It’s no surprise that, as times get tough, people tend to look out for their own. Yes, that means a lot of cronyism, a little bit o…

Brilliant and uncompromising in his integrity and in his advocacy... "Many African-American witnesses subpoenaed to testify at the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC) hearings in the 1950s were asked to denounce Paul Robeson (1888–1976) in order to obtain future employment. Robeson, an All-American football player and recipient of a Phi Beta Kappa key at Rutgers, received a law degree at Columbia. He became an internationally acclaimed concert performer and actor as well as a persuasive political speaker. In 1949, Robeson was the subject of controversy after newspapers reports of public statements that African Americans would not fight in “an imperialist…

Although full service stations are "technically" obsolete....the "hustle culture" has re-incarnated it, lol. It has come back in a DIFFERENT form. If you pull up to a gas station in the 'hood, you'll likely be mobbed by a dozen kids and junkies trying to pump your gas for money. Since they can't do it at the stop lights anymore, they'll even clean your windshields while pumping your gas...lol. And if you dare to get out of your car to go into the service station you have to get through a crowd of people trying to sell you everything from mix-tapes, to fake gold jewelry, to weaves. The Old Heads used to say..... The game don't change, only th…

The nation is in a state of mass mourning in the wake of a shooting rampage at a grade school in Connecticut. 20 small children gunned down in their classrooms, victims of a black clad gunman gone amok, turning his gun on the kindergarteners taught by the mother he had killed earlier. As the story broke, TV programs were interrupted, the screens filled with the stricken faces of news anchors, their laments followed by the appearance of President Obama, fighting back tears, empathizing with parents. Then came the cops who'd responded to the 911 call, and the wide-eyed youngsters all hustled before the cameras to describe what they had witnessed. Throughout the c…

During I questioned whether all of the over the top violence had a negative effect on our psyches. I tend to believe if does but there are school of thought that suggests that it is good for us.

i have been following the coverage of Trump's controversial nominee for the Supreme Court. Observing the dramatic "he-said-she-said" testimonies of the woman accusing Trump's choice of sexual assault, and the denial of these charges by the accused, has been not only riveting but rather depressing. America is bordering on shambles. Dr. Christine Ford alleges that 30+ years ago, Brett Kavanaugh and his friend, Mark Judge, accosted her at a high school house party. She relates how a drunk Kavanaugh pulled her inside a bedroom where he pinned her down, tried to undress her, and nearly smothered her before she was able to get away and lock herself in a bathroo…

The following are quotes from an article written by an employee of IPS Inc., the company who developed the discussion forum software I'm use here. The article was written to help explain why privacy is an important aspect to building and online community and growing a discussion forum.

Participation way down from a peak about a decade ago. Competing against the large social media sites is very hard, for the simple fact is that sites like Facebook utilize everything they kn…

Politically speaking, most oppressed minority groups in America vote Democratic against white, right wing, Christian, racist, homophobe Republicans. These groups are blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Jews, and LGBTQ. But, beyond the fact that they vote for the same party does not dismiss the tribalism that is strong among them. There are a lot of blacks that don't like Mexicans and vice versa. Someday, when the Anglo white population dwindles down to a bare minority (even though they will still have the…

Hi family, below are attached actual images of the oldest statues of Buddha that can be found just by googling oldest statues of Buddha. I want to say first, I don't believe these bodies we have define who we are, I believe that we are all particles of energy/consciousness/light from an infinitely vast Cosmic Oneness, God whatever name is preferred, that have together manifested this reality & these bodies; all made of again us, the same energy/particles manifested to infinite different forms. So I believe literally everything is one and the same, the only reason I say that first is because I'm not trying to say Buddha was defined by body or skin color, on…

Hello All, Carey, get ready. The Oscar nominations are out and "Precious" has won 5 nominations: Best Picture, Best Actress for Gabby, Best Supporting Actress for Mo'Nique, Best Director for Lee Daniels, and Best Adapted Screenplay for Geoffrey Fletcher (I think that's the brother's name). Now Carey, here's how its going to go down, Mo'Nique has the Best Supporting Actress sewed up, as long as she does nothing stupid or arrogant like Eddie Murphy did when he lost the Oscar for Dreamgirls. Lee Daniels becomes the second AA to be nominated for Best Director. The Oscar is going to go to Bigelow for The Hurt Locker. "Precious" could cause a couple of upset in the Ad…

Recently, the Summit of the Americas was held. Every single country to attend the summit was in favor of Cuba's attendance. 32 countries voted in favor of Cuba being invited to the summit. Only two countries opposed Cuba's attendance, the U.S. and Canada. Outnumbered, clearly. However, U.S. and Canada vetoed the majority vote (which was the vote of 32 favoring countries) on the grounds that Cuba did not qualify as Cuba is not a "democracy" and that the summit was only for those countries that are "democratic". Again, the will of 2 countries outweighed the will of 32 countries. How's that for a lesson in democracy from the Americans and the Canadians~
