There is only one other U.S. law school bearing the name of an AfroAmerican. That was the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall.😎

The Life of Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster | EWTN News In Depth June 2, 2023 The Incorruptibles are saints whose bodies are miraculously preserved after death, defying the normal process of decomposition. St. Cecilia is probably the first saint known to be incorrupt, but the bodies of these saints can be found in many places throughout the world. They are not like mummies, for their skin is soft and their limbs pliable, nothing at all like the dry, skeletal remains of mummies. Under usual circumstances, nothing at all has been done to preserve the bodies of these saints. In fact, some of them have been covered in quicklime, which should have easily destroyed any hum…

photo reference Tolmer Falls | Litchfield National Park Sunset | Louise Denton | Flickr Happy June Solstice May all be cool in the northern hemisphere summer, may all be warm in the southern hemisphere winter. A solstice is when the a pole is angled most toward the sun, thus causing the effect of the sun standing still. Another way of saying it, is the ecliptic , or axis based on the equator of the earth has the largest angle distance to a line from the sun center to the earth.

Viral Video of College Student Racially Attacked This newsbreak has been circling for a few days and continues to be the headline. A University of Kentucky incident in which, on this past Sunday in the wee hours of the morning, a young White student stumbles back into her dorm building and moments later launched a racial attack against another student who was the desk clerk that reached out to help her to safety. The desk clerk was a young Black girl named, Kylah Spring, was thrust into the public view because of the unfortunate verbal and physical racist attack launched against her due to the actions of the student named Sophia Rosing. And get this; the dor…

Americans are tipping less often for a variety of services, demonstrating a steady decline over the last few years, according to new data from Bankrate released this week. Also, two-thirds (66%) of the survey's respondents have a negative view about tipping, including 41% saying they feel like businesses should pay their employees better rather than relying so much on tips. And, people are feeling annoyed about pre-entered tip screens (32%), sharing that the present tipping culture has gotten out of control (30%), and noting they would be willing to pay higher prices if they could do away with tipping (16%), and being confused about who and how much to tip (15%), acc…

One of the reasons I like New York is because while Whites in the rest of the U.S. were so pre-occupied with oppressing the Black and Native American that they generally put their religious and ethnic differences aside, married among eachother, and blended their blood to form a United Front of racism....the White ethnic groups of New York decided to remain fiercely tribal and for the large part separate. There's been a lot of intermarriage between the groups obviously but New York is so large that it still allows Italians to marry only Italians if they so wish, Irish to marry only Irish, Jews to marry only Jews. As a result.....many of the Jews and Italians in New …

Reddit's ceo admitted what most, who know how many modern media or tech firms history are, already know. Reddit has been around for 20 years and never made a profit. Same as Netflix who only made a profit after seven years without, and has financial wobbles since. Same as Tesla motors that was not profitable for years , until it was, and has financial wobbles since. Twitter again, is highly used and has never been profitable. Netflix is trying to end sharing passwords. What is my point? Not the following Websites are costly, people for some reason don't think they are. But if you have a financial loaning network behind you , you ca…

The total number of books on AALBC published in 2022 was the lowest it has been since 2005! The difference is not a few book books but hundreds of books! Now I don't have every Black book published on AALBC -- but my information is certainly indicative of the books published by the major publishers and the larger independents. I also capture more Black indie books than any other independent online store. This data tells me substantially fewer Black books were published in 2022 than in the past two decades! There were 35% fewer books published in 2022 than in 2021 and almost 50% fewer than the peak published in 2015, as reflected on the AALBC web…

Dr. Cornel West has tossed his hat into the POTUS race on the People's Party ticket. https://www.newsweek.com/cornel-west-2024-presidential-bid-peoples-party-ukraine-russia-war-1804730 Of course, Democrats will be upset with Dr. West for taking votes away from their base. Neither Democrats nor the GOP has a candidate capable of holding a candle up to Dr. West intellectually. Unfortunately, politics is about raising money and BSing people. Intelligence is not a prerequisite or requirement. Nonetheless, it will be interesting to hear Dr. West outline his agenda for getting America ro pay its debt to AfroAmericans…

You know, maybe because of Juneteenth, I have thought about freedom in the black community in the usa and when black people talk about reparations we mention how most black people wanted it, but we don't mention how black leadership in the usa since the war between the states in majority never advocated for reparations. No black leadership group has ever truly advocated reparations. The Black church hasn't, the NAACP hasn't, Black colleges hasn't , black elected officials to any party of governance hasnt. So, yes, most black people in the USA have thought of reparations, wanted reparations, but a majority of black leadership in the usa hasn't advocated it, even if they…

Below is a comment I made on ProfD's post @ProfD yeah I heard. Again, why is it 99% of the third parties in the usa, since the two party system, never choose to actually grow from the bottom to the top? the People's party first campaign is this one for Cornell West. Their first campaign. How can you expect to win a majority of 50 states when you have no presence in any state? Cornell west and many others before him, like Ross PErot, have differences in many ways, but all of them , regardless of their knowledge, clearly lack erudition in terms of government. The people's party has a website that is willing to accept money, has a bunc…

All of the image below were what the party of abraham lincoln wanted to cut from federal budgets. All of this money is going to new york state, not across anywhere, all new york state. It's funny. I look at each of these and the debt of the USA is clear. 1) Rental assistance. First, NYC has high rents. So most people who live in New York City can't even afford to be in the apartments who have legally lowered rent. What is my point? The NYC real estate market is buoyed by welfare. The people making millions for selling a loft are buoyed by a city whose populace is subsidized so that the real estate industry can make profits. It is a …

In 2022 I asked what is the most common action during Juneteenth. This year it occurred to me that while the Black community in the USA has known of the end of the war between the states since it happened and has praised it , wrote books about it, no celebration is unique to the Black community in the USA, in particular the DOS tribe. Now while it is sad that Juneteenth doesn't have a unique celebration for it after over one hundred and fifty years, talking with another privately, I realize the opportunity to create a unique celebration is present. So, I ask all black people, whether DOS or not. Any ideas for a unique celebration for Juneteenth? I kno…

Deadly unrest in Senegal claims a dozen lives | Watch (msn.com) First fighting in Ethiopia..... Then Sudan.... Then the Congo... Now of all places SENEGAL is experiencing skinny folks running through the streets with rags over their faces tossing rocks and fighting with the police. As far as I know, Senegal used to be one of the most stable and peaceful nations on the Continent. I hadn't heard of any wars or riots going on there in modern history. Now civil order is breaking down there. What's going on around the continent? And don't say "Revolution".....because there doesn't seem to be a clear goal or plan except to rebel against those in charg…

I touched on this in another thread recently and I went a little more in depth with Mel some years back when I said I don't like and in many cases do not tolerate White men or men of other races "getting their goodies" with the best of our women. I don't believe Black men are jealous ENOUGH. Especially when it comes with seeing our women interact with men of other races. We can get jealous with EACHOTHER and often engage in all types of playa hatin' tactics to throw salt in eachother's game when it comes to the opposite sex. But when it comes to that White boy hanging around trying to start conversations and sneak a giggle or two from our sistaz....mos…

Sudan War, US & Russia Fighting Proxy War In Sudan To Set Naval Bases In Red Sea There are some new reports published recently that answers to some questions and viewpoints shared in this community about what is really going on with the conflict in Sudan! One viewpoint is that this conflict is about Russia being the instigator to abrupt outbreak of violence in Sudan but then another viewpoint is that it is not just Russia but a proxy war between America and Russia. Well, it seems like more and more reports support the latter viewpoint! Irish politician Calls Out Western Countries For Funding War In Africa Anot…

Where is the Nearest Soul Food Restaurant in your Community? Sometimes, when I get in the mood for Soul Food, I will try again and again to find a restaurant in my community, but all the while I am searching, I know that I won’t! It has been so frustrating! I reminisce back years ago when I lived in Durham, North Carolina when I would love to go to this one famous restaurant and indulge. It was called Pan Pans. But even before I left Durham, that restaurant had closed down. I remember when it was located nearest Highway 85 nearest a hub of hotels and how it was always jam packed with people, but nevertheless, I was always able to be …

An Impossible Proof Of Pythagoras Presenting Authors Ne’Kiya D Jackson St. Mary's Academy Calcea Rujean Johnson St. Mary's Academy Saturday, March 18, 2023 9:00 AM - 9:30 AM 423 (Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons) Abstract In the 2000 years since trigonometry was discovered it's always been assumed that any alleged proof of Pythagoras’s Theorem based on trigonometry must be circular. In fact, in the book containing the largest known collection of proofs (The Pythagorean Proposition by Elisha Loomis) the author flatly states that “There are no trigonometric proofs, because all the fundamental formulae of trigonometry are themselves base…

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…

Curriculum Body in India Decided To Drop Evolution and Periodic Table From School Science, Sparking Protest From Educators and Researchers Conelisa N. Hubilla Jun 01, 2023 06:47 AM EDT In April 2023, it was widely reported in India that the topic of evolution would be cut from the curriculum for students aged 15-16. The extent of changes became clearer when the National Council of Educational Research & Training released a textbook for the new academic year that started in May. NCERT is the public organization in the country that developed curriculum and textbooks in Indian schools. In response, the campaign group Breakthrough Scie…

Republicans are holding the Debt Limit increase hostage. It has never been held up before, even under Trump.

What in the World is Going on In SUDAN! Should we as African Americans and Americans, in general, be concerned? Even though I was completely captivated about the celestial wonders going on in the middle of the month of April 2023, however, I was amazed at what I was hearing and reading about the conlfict in Sudan too, but at first, I didn't believe it was significant. I initially heard casual reports about many European and American officials being rushed out of Sudan and flown safely back to their European countries of origins but then, the news reports continued until finally, they became reported as NEWSBREAKS! Subconciously, I so…

My comment based on the articles, and my own comprehension beforehand. Many people had the idea for a memorial day at the end of that war. Who originated it is functionally a hard question cause that will require knowing who was the first to make plans as many celebrations at the end of the war between the states to memorialize the soldiers was present. But, while the first conceived is hard or near impossible to answer, the first on record can be achieved.

Have you noticed in the media lately, there's a huge push to NOW all of a sudden call bi-racial people "Black"? If you haven't, pay attention. Ofcourse during slavery for the most part anybody with known Black ancestry was considered "Black" in the U.S. according to the one drop rule; but in the RECENT past...like most AfroAmericans accepted mixed people as Black....most Whites would make it a point to call bi-racial people BI-RACIAL or refer to their ethnicity as African Americans more so than their race which would be more controversial. But now all of a sudden that's changing. Now in the news as well as the entertainment media, more and more bi-racial peo…

Hey @frankster You REALLY need to check this video out. Although I don't agree with some of them, what makes the video so interesting is that it's only a couple days old but Billy hits on a LOT of the points that you and I have been discussing for weeks and probably off and on for months.

African Leaders Summit Hosted by the White House & Interview with Dr. Arikana Chihombori-Quao OH MY GOD! Dr. Chihombori-Quao [Dr. Chi] is a walking, breathing, and living miracle!

@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…
