Culture, Race & Economy

In this age of gemini, era of pisces, I believe we should take care and be aware of the next upcoming age/era. It may be a very difficult shift but nothing so difficult it couldn't be overcome. Eras are easier to shift from than ages because of how grand the ages are, but overall when the change happens I feel they'll be a lot of good out in the world to spread.

Would you say your musical taste has changed over the years? How would you compare music you listened to when you were younger to the music you listen to now as a more mature adult? What genres do you fav? Do you like today's sound?

First the backstory, I should go farther back and how little art or graffiti has been treated by the NEw York City government at the behest of many people in NEw York City, i daresay most, as a negative going back to the 1970s. Funny how the sotheby's of the world are selling JEan Michel Basquiat's art , an artists who died penniless, for a hundred million dollars while the city painted over the street art in the 191st street tunnel with no pausal, they took photos of it i think. Well now the city wants to repair the problem. But instead of it being a random thing done through time, changing as well, they want it to be official. So... NYC DOT Announces …

I have always loved the art of Chevelin Pierre, for years now, so even though it is march,and haitian independence is january 1st, it is being shared:)

Do you all believe in beating the snot out of... I mean, spanking your child? I don't have children(yet), but I don't trust a lot of new gen ideas that only talking to children teaches them correction. I believe that works with some children who have the sweetest demeanor but others, who live to cause destruction, need a more... Uh, stern lesson? What's your opinions?

In round 2, I explained something that caused confusion. I quote in Round 2 @KENNETH I do not oppose reparations or renaissance. But I oppose a key element that black people don't seem to realize when they talk about repair. ANother was also confused and I replied to them with the following in bold. I merely go into detail after. good afternoon @Soulsonsix yes, i want to only add we have a happiness foundation elsewhere. More elemental than culture, it is a question of where the majority of black people whose forebears were enslaved in the usa were last happy and the majority of black people whose forebears were enslave…

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…

When I was a child I was told racism was when one person hated another for the color of their skin or their racial background. When I became a teen people told me racism was either thinking one race was superior to another or when someone was scared or didn't understand a racial group different than themselves. When I became an adult racism was said to be racial discrimination with power plus privilege in effect and therefore only certain groups could be racist. Is racism soon going to be when you don't validate someone's belief that they can be another race besides the one they were born? Why does the meaning keep changing?…

It is municipal and also post war between the states. The reality is, what black people are owed is beyond any government to give Reparations means a thing that repairs, make ready again, but the black community in the usa only gets worse in the past historically. To be blunt, if the black community in the usa whose forebears were enslaved before or after the usa was founded want to make any situation where we lived ready again, then it has to be back to africa. Because as a community, the DOSers only had something worth repairing before we were taken. In harlem, in NYC, many people talk about the harlem renaissance which was a term first …

What is the average age here, if anyone is willing to share, cause I'm tryna see sum'n? lol I get the feeling everyone is older than me.

Black people hate Black Christians more than they hate white racists. 😭 What did we do to Y'ALL😤 All the time I hear the put downs. How we so judgmental and bitter, and yet you the one absolutely CHOKED UP😖 that I'm Christian. I've heard them say for Black people to progress they gotta leave us behind 😂 CTFO I mean if ya really want. 😌 I'm still black at the end of the day, the night, the year. So pls, demonstrate how racial division brings about unity. 🤔

I was listening to the Hidden Brain podcast and they discussed the unconscious (implicit) biases we all hold. People may consciously reject bias against Black people, but when they take a test that measures their unconscious bias the truth comes out. It was a very interesting program, which you can listen to below: Your browser does not support the audio element. You can take a variety of tests to learn your unconscious via toward Black people, dark-skinned people, gay people, and more at Project Implicit.

https://aalbc.com/pdf/growing up in east harlem.pdf This article was originally published in May of 1990. The PDF file is 25 printed pages and can be leisurely read in 35 minutes. I was raised in this community when I first read the article in the 90s it did not feel like it was my old neighborhood. It was a very limited perspective and completely ignored everything that caused the community to end up the why it did. It was basically poverty porn to me.

Another COMET BIGGER THAN The Green Comet! – The PURPLE MOUNTAIN COMET!-Tsuchinshan-ATLAS 2024 I love to refer to this comet as The PURPLE MOUNTAIN COMET, because it was this observatory in China that pick it up first and the name sounds awesome. However, it was thought to be an asteroid at first but when it was picked up on the ATLAS in South Africa, was when it was confirmed to be a comet with a very large mass. Therefore the comet is called Tsuchinshan-ATLAS comet [C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS)]. So if it does get past the sun without burning up, it is predicted to be much larger than both the comet NEOWISE and the Green Comet ZTF! …

BIBLE GENETICS—What Does the Bible Say About Hair & the Afro; Part 1 [29] Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me. EXODUS 22:29. Barogue female hairstyle Thutmose IV Because the Bible details the ‘Creation of Modern Mankind’ in the midst of other early pre-existing hominids, therefore, the unique trait exhibited amongst many Original Africans, the Afro-typed hair, must be a part of the Bible so, why would this not be taught? There has been a complete omis…

Chris Rock slaps Back Hard at Will and Jada Pinkett Smith in the Netflix special; Selective Outrage I have not been able to see the Neflix special. But there has been quite a buzz about it. So yes, the Oscars is today, March 12, 2023, and I heard that Chris Rock declined. I also heard that the host this year, Jimmy Kimmel, will speak about that infamous slap that Will Smith delivered to Chris Rock last year. I don’t think I would be this curious about the Academy Awards show had it not been for so much propaganda this year about what happened last year and also because of the snub that the movie Women King has gotten as well as the h…

A few days ago 4 Black Americans were kidnapped in Mexico. Unfortunately 2 ended up being killed and a third was shot but survived and was found and rescued along with the fourth victim. Any thoughts on this issue? I think that so far the U.S. media has been doing a pretty good job of portraying that these were indeed Americans instead of simply portraying them as a group of Black folks riding around Mexico getting into trouble. As I expected, a few media outlets were questioning why they were down there in the first place and were trying to blame the victims instead of the perpetrators.....typical racist narrative anytime Black victims are involved. Bu…

I have to raise a Black Power fist to @Lee Vining for hipping me to ex-enslaved Black folks who left the South to settle in Colorado and formed entire communities! I had no idea of this! I knew we left the Soutn and went west to places like California, Texas and Arizona but cold ass Colorado? Man...I come to find out Black folks ran up into them mountains and TORE THEM UP looking for gold. This is one of the reasons I call myself the "Pioneer". Because I look at those early Black Pioneers who decided to get the hell out of the old corrupt system, travel to a NEW land, and establish their OWN communities as my role models! This is so inspiring …

@Troy said something in another thread that I found to be somewhat interesting: While I don't disagree with this statement and find it to be quite accurate in many cases, my question is what is meant by "lucky" or "luck"? What exactly IS "luck"? Is it strictly when chances randomly fall in one's favor; or are there Forces and Entities in the background controlling one's fortune and giving one "good luck"?

At age 10 my daughter had a school report to do based on a famous person. She likes to be different, try and be original. She decided on Hattie McDaniel. Not much material available at the time. This before the internet. Daughter ask the librarian and the Librarian came through and ordered a book, McDaniels biography. Traveling through Colorado we visited sites where McDaniel grew up. A brutal weather conditions area settled by freed slaves. That's a story in itself. The report a success. Another subject considered was Spencer Williams. Actor that played Andy in the controversial Amos and Andy T…

I know that this is a divisive issue in the African-American community and some might disagree with me. This post addresses colorism mostly in the dating arena. When the issue of colorism is addressed in dating, it usually centers around dark-skinned black men with light skinned black women. It has never been a secret in the black community that many dark-skinned black men, especially when they obtain money and status, prefer lighter skinned women. This is certainly nothing new. It has been going on for many, many years or decades. Celebrities of ye…

Okay, I just broke down a begin my first foray into TicTok. Everyone is telling me I need to be on the platform. So I'm starting in earnest today. I still can't image it helping, but I hope I'm proven wrong. My goal is to post a short video several times a week. I'm open to any suggestions. The video is raw, I did not bother to shave or wear anything special -- if I did it would be too much work. I figure I could invest 15 minutes a week to post a few sub-two-minute videos to the platform.

😏......yep.

As we know, Civil Rights Attorney Ben Crump has been putting in work for a while now. Last week, he won an NAACP award. His acceptance speech is here: The quotable at the 5:30 mark for which he might be remembered is, "we have to be prepared to fight for our children's future until h8ll freezes over. And then, we have to be ready to fight on the ice."🤣 I have clowned brotha Ben Crump for his public speaking. But, I also give credit when it's due. Ben Crump went hard in the paint at the NAACP awards and delivered. 😎

Black Conservatives are more visible and vocal than ever. They are writers, thinkers, media personalities, and politicians. Whether you agree or disagree they cannot be dismissed. What are they doing to help black people? Could this be the wrong question? Maybe it's about individualism not black people. But how can black people be free individuals while being defined and denied things as a particular group. That is the problem with systemic racism. Yet Conservatives including blacks on the Right don't believe systemic racism is responsible for problems faced by blacks. They blame government policies that foster dependency and encourage racial stri…

Agency Sides With Theory That Lab Leak Sparked Pandemic Energy Department agrees with FBI's conclusion, for a different reason The COVID-19 pandemic probably began with a laboratory leak, the Energy Department has decided. The agency, which had not expressed a view on the origin of the coronavirus, added its finding to a previous classified intelligence report sent to the White House and certain members of Congress, the Wall Street Journal reports. The conclusion, which is based on new intelligence, is far from being the last word: US agencies are divided on the issue, and the Energy Department said in the document that its assessment was reached …

Good point on slavery, the only question is, why did black people push against the use of the word slavery?was it the truth or what they fantasized?

928 people in NYC have been recorded or known to ride outside trains. In a local news report , the words viral/kids/teens/social media was used but no one used the words: money/profit. People don't seem to comprehend popularity is money. The most popular person online, Cristiano Ronaldo, CR7, has more followers than anyone. He gets money for his quantity of followers. Does he need it? no he has multiples of millions in sponsorship money. Multiples of millions in wage from any club he played on since he became a mature player. BUT Could Rich do with his revenue from followings? You damn skippy. Being followed is money. It isn't worthless. media ma…
