Do you think @Greg is a Black fool or a White racist?

... or is YT Just Better at Getting Around It? I've maintained a mailing list about as long as I've run this website, pushing 25 years. To this day, my mailing list remains one of the best ways of reaching my audience, as it not subject to the whims of algorithms created by white boys in silicon valley -- or so I thought. I'm hearing a lot of complaints from other Brothers and Sisters who tell me that their emails are increasingly ending up in spam folders. Just yesterday an important email from a organization I've been working with for 15 years was diverted to my spam folder. Meanwhile, obvious spam from white business, I've never communicated …

@Pioneer1 These "actors" go back hundreds of years, as long as the nonsense of racism. Poor whites where reviled and rejected by white elities. They still are...

The Presidential election is coming up in November. In October the jobless rate, the lowest in 44 months, is back where it was when President Obama took the oath office. That means President Obama has cleaned up much of the prior damage done by Republicans, now they want to move back into the White House and tear things up again with the same behavior that destroyed everything the last time around. Don’t allow President Obama to be the Republican’s garbage man. http://pollardpost.blogspot.com/2012/10/dont-make-president-obama-republicans.html

I am working with a palmist and we are creating a divination/actualisation system. That uses Palmistry Astrology Numerology and Tarot. To divine the future. We will be using Mudras (hand positions) Chants Visualisations and Crystals. To help the querent create that future. The hand shows abilities and challenges. The technique will create change in the querent and will rewrite the lines of the hand. We are going to write a book on and in the process. It's a three to six month project. Will post the results.

Troy recently took the time to ask everyone to subscribe to his YouTube station. I'd like to ask everyone to do something similar but with a twist. I recently was selected to speak at an event called Ignite Memphis. The presenters were given 5 minutes to talk about something that was informative and could empower people in Memphis. Here is my speech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qZgvh49IUo Check it out and if you think it can help someone please share the video with people you know. Then if you have a few minutes check out my YouTube channel where I discuss business at this link and subscribe and view one of the videos. http://www.youtube.co…

Fake news? or is the whistle blower to be believed? Troy should certainly feel vindicated, when it comes to the question of the media enabling mischief. I've never cared for Dr. Phil and his phony "down home folksy persona". https://www.essence.com/news/nina-richards-sister-of-dr-phil-guest-who-hates-being-black-shes-fake-just-a-disgusting-attempt-to-become-a-meme?fbclid=IwAR07FiX1L8IGJne65tc8rFHQUyE_lyCmxpD0k_p4s_BmfCdfuoP12e3xI9g

He is the reason Miles Davis brought electric instruments into Jazz. His music was a cornerstone of Hip-Hop music. He inspired countless artists and musicians. He was truly a musical pioneer. I'm thankful for everything he brought to music. RIP Mr. Sylvester Stewart better known as Sly Stone.😎

Author, professor, pundit, blogger, and NPR host Jimi Izrael called Kola Boof “the angry transxual Colonel McBragg of the Twitter game.” The man has a way with words (if not a perfect memory for the military rank of cartoon characters). Man, that takes me back to childhood! John Kass of the Chicago Tribune said years ago that Joe Harris based his Commander McBragg character in part on the Baron von Münchhausen stories. Remember how Lloyd Bentsen told Dan Quayle, "You're no Jack Kennedy." Well, Kola, you definitely are a Münchhausen.

Oscar Predictions 2015 Who Will Win, Who Deserves to Win, Who Was Snubbed by Kam Williams While Selma’s Academy Awards stock plummeted in the wake of allegations of historical inaccuracies, that of American Sniper simultaneously skyrocketed, thanks to both booming box-office returns and very positive word of mouth. However, Sniper probably had too much ground to make up to catch Birdman, the early favorite in the Best Picture sweepstakes. I envision Birdman garnering 4 awards overall, followed by The Grand Budapest Hotel, with 3. The only other multiple winners will likely be Boyhood, Whiplash and The Theory of Everything, at 2 each. …

interesting enough, everything that I find (researched) is that far more whites (41%) are killed by police each year compared to blacks(17%) however, far more blacks are arrested! Please tell me why our news reporters, political leaders and so many others are hell bent on portraying this to be just the opposite and lead others to believe that blacks are somehow being targeted and oppressed by our society??? Please do your research before you comment on this. Please!!

I have not listened to the album, yet, but I put down New York's Village Voice newspaper to post this comment. The quote which opened this post is from writer Greg Tate. I have to admit the quote prompted a big "Oh Brother!" in my head. I'm just not accustomed to reading Jay Z being being compared with Public Enemy from the perspective of "Pro-Black Nationalism." Still after reading that quote from Tate I was like now I have to listen to this album--I then immediately pulled back because I felt manipulated. As if the Village Voice was part of the machine created to encourage readers to rush out buy the Album (or whatever the collection of digital files ar…

Hello all, I decided to write about my personal experience being Vaginally Infibulated and how I felt watching the now infamous "Swede Cake Video" that purported to honor women and girls like myself. I hope you'll read what I had to say. LINK: http://www.owlasylum.net/?p=1823 KOLA BOOF

@Cynique, since you were there, I'm not going to challenge your knowledge of the Panthers. Besides I don't think the Black Panthers represented the greatest movement led by Black folks in any event. I'd of course put this civil rights movement at the top of the list; there were clear goals out that were achieved, and which have had lasting impact. I'd also add Garvey's UNIA there are still active branches today. I'm seriously considering joining one. What was the greatest movement in your book?

Susan Crawford on Why U.S. Internet Access is Slow, Costly, and Unfair from BillMoyers.com Captive Audience: The Telecom Industry and Monopoly Power in the New Gilded Age by Susan Crawford Paperback: 368 pages Publisher: Yale University Press; Reprint edition (February 25, 2014) Ten years ago, the United States stood at the forefront of the Internet revolution. With some of the fastest speeds and lowest prices in the world for high-speed Internet access, the nation was poised to be the global leader in the new knowledge-based economy. Today that global competitive advantage has all but vanished because of a series of government decisions …

As a former special education teacher in South Carolina public schools, I know first hand the trials of young Black males deemed Emotionally Disabled and placed in special education classrooms. I remember the pain I felt seeing these promising young men struggle to be heard. Very few educators recognized their cry for justice and respect in an educational system that almost dismissed them as insignificant. I encouraged my students to use wisdom. Yes, your voice should be heard and can be heard! The methods you use and the time you choose is crucial! I wonder now how these young men are doing. Statistics say most of them will be imprisoned and/or live in poverty all their…

North Carolina mom whose son, 1, was swept away in Florence floodwaters faces charges A North Carolina mother faces charges after her 1-year-old son was swept away and drowned in Florence floodwaters last month, police announced Monday. Dazia Ideah Lee, 20, was charged with involuntary manslaughter and driving on a closed or unopen highway, Union County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post. Lee and her son, Kaiden Lee-Welch, were in a vehicle heading down North Carolina Highway 218 in New Salem in September when she drove around barricades and encountered floodwaters caused by Hurricane Florence. http://www.msn.co…

Every Negro should keep up on basketball. It is one of the few things you got going. Anyway, he did NOT stab Cleveland in the back. Just the same, I hope he was moved out of his house, his bags was packed and he had a plane ticket in his pocket when he made that decision. Tyger Woods is the Obama of Golf. Will LeBron be the Obama of Basketball?

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! …

Put a song of hers in the comments this one inspired a story

I wrote about Khadafi's crush on Condoleeza Rice 10 YEARS AGO in my autobiography "Diary of a Lost Girl." Nobody believed me. Now ABC NEWS has the proof: http://blogs.abcnews.com/thenote/2011/08/moammar-gadhafis-secret-scrapbook-crush-condoleezza-rice.html#.TlezhqxFF_M.twitter Separate from my book....THE NEW YORK TIMES has now revealed that Saddam Hussein had an obsessive love for singer Whitney Houston. So did Osama Bin Laden. Yasser Arafat spent literally millions on Black Porn Star EBONY AYERS. I have been telling (in quite strong detail) of this portion of our current history for some time. But I was always called a liar, a …

https://www.cornelwest2024.com/ballotaccess According to the website, Dr. West is on the ballot in 15 states, write-in (23), no-write in (8) and pending (3). Dr. West has chosen Dr. Melina Abdullah as VP running mate. Theirs is probably the 1st ticket with two Ph.Ds on it.😁 Of course, under the 2-party system Dem and GOP, Dr. West's campaign gets little or no media coverage. Remains to be seen if Dr. West will continue his aspirations by running for another political office. He could also start a non-profit. Regardless, I'd imagine Dr. West will continue to lecture and advocate for the poor and working class.😎

For me, writing a book can be compared to a mystical quest. It’s like the story already exists in my creative realm, ready to be “downloaded” into the hard drive of my brain. Any book begins with inspiration, and the ongoing triangle that puts black women in competition with white ones for the affections of black men was mine. It’s a topic I’ve never read a book about so I became motivated to write “The Only One”, a novel based on this scenario. I wasn’t sure where this subject would lead me but, equipped with my personal observations and input from my children and their friends, I sat down at my computer, placed my fingers on its keyboard, accessed its word proces…

Im shocked blacks arent tripping over themselves trying to support Vivek Ramaswamy. He is a man of color and never uses his skin color as an excuse for any short comings which he has none. He is self made. He is extremely smart. His success is 100% based on merit and hardwork. His parents are hardworking and legally came to this country with almost nothing and barey speaking the language. Yet, they provided a structured and disciplined home for their children. Im shocked blacks arent idolizing this guy.

I believe this society is becoming too complex or too complicated for the AVERAGE person of AVERAGE intelligence to navigate through. I suspect that's where a lot of problems and dysfunctions are coming from and this is probably why there are so many addictions. So many people are trying to cope....and escape....psychologically....with just trying to keep their heads above water in a society where they find it increasingly difficult just to meet their basic needs like food, clothing, shelter, and health care. Let alone deal with loved ones who are also going through their own personal problems. I alluded to this in another thread about "endless amounts of…

What a week this has been! Here around Chicago, everybody was holding their collective breaths waiting for the verdict to come down after the Prosecution rested its case against Jason Van Dyke, the white cop, who mowed down LaQuan McDonald, a black teenager walking away from him with a knife clutched in his hand. Because Van Dyke felt threatened by this situation, his reaction was to empty his gun in the back of this young man, riddling his body with 16 bullets. This killing was covered up by Chicago law enforcement with the cooperation of other cops on the scene who did not feel similarly threatened but later chose to observe the oath of silence rather than…

For the past few years I have been pointing out to people that when you hear the war cry “Tax The Rich 🤑 “ you better hide your wallet. Back in 2012 this article proved my point https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2082385/We-1--You-need-34k-income-global-elite--half-worlds-richest-live-U-S.html This one of the reasons why I believe that we are living with paradigms that don’t describe our current conditions or positions. It’s because we are just repeating slogans and not really doing and inventory of our assets, we are being smothered by our liabilities. One of the biggest obstacles to our fully experiencing of potential is the idea …

Scientists Say They've Found The Driver of False Beliefs, And It's Not a Lack of Intelligence This is why some people are so confident in their "facts". DAVID NIELD 9 SEP 2018 Why is it sometimes so hard to convince someone that the world is indeed a globe, or that climate change is actually caused by human activity, despite the overwhelming evidence?

Stop chasing around these White men making up their own philosophies to FOOL you out of your money and further confuse your mind.

Another mass shooting event in the US. 18 killed and 13 injured. The shooter is a marksman who just 2 weeks ago was in a mental health facility. Not only was this killer allowed to keep his weapons. He made a few statements on social media about killing folks. The FBI is at his house asking him to come out with his hands up. Considering what this killer has already done, the authorities should force their way into his home and take him down. The craziest part is whether it's an active war or shooting event or standoff...the media is reporting live from ground zero. 😎

Whew! Thank goodness Troy showed up and extracted some order from the chaos. The inmates were running the asylum. And I'm sure glad he finally activated the "delete" engine. I plead guilty to being one of the perpetrators but the outrageous machinations of Kola Boof just bring out the mischief in me. If she would just stop trying to hoodwink everybody I maybe would chill out. I never understood why Kola couldn't just post as Kola and let her assets speak for themselves. Why did she always had to have a roster of characters who routinely turned out to be fans of hers. Guess it was because she didn't get enough adulation from all the supporters she claims to have here…

Talk about writing being re-writing. The latest version of this story bears little resemblence to the original which I posted here a couple of year ago. Even the characters' names have been changed. All the revisions have been necessary because the first version of this book was written almost 15 years ago and things have so radically changed since then. And that includes me and my atttudes. The original story ended up just being a blueprint for the final draft which I have taken great pains to ma…

New Evidence About Trey Reed; He was in a Fight with White Men Before Hanging So, a Black police reported that this young man's death was a suicide, but now, it turns out that this young man was reported to have been involved in a fight with White men shortly before he was found dead and hanging from a tree on a college campus. The New Black Panther Party has organized and are now addressing this issue. I know that this information is recent and may not be confirmed, however, this video is alarming for me.

When I use the term "black," I am referring to both the Australoid and African peoples. I think that some people who belong to other racial categories have a visible black admixture. According to anthropologists, there are two "black" races of people who look almost exactly alike but are not related. The first is the African or Negroid race which consists of all Sub-Saharan black people. Then there is the Australoid race which includes Australian aboriginals, Southeast Asian Negritos, and South Pacific Melanesians. But, both groups share phenotypical similarities of very…

Has anyone ever considered what all this negative/violent programming does to one's psyche? I can't image there is no adverse impact. I think about this as I watch HBO's programming from True Blood, The Wire, The Soporanos, Game of Thrones, Broadwalk Empire, etc all this evil can't be good for you; can it? When I was a kid the TV shows seemed to be much more wholesome and I enjoyed them. Even some of the programming that addressed culural issued did so intelligently and with all the gore, sex, obscenities, etc. I think shows like All in the Family, or even Star Trek did this quite well. I wonder if I watched more wholesome TV shows would I be hap…

Neely Fuller Jr said that if you don't understand RACISM....what it is and how it works...everything else that you DO understand will CONFUSE you. He didn't say what you "think" you understand, but what you actually UNDERSTAND...will still confuse you. Why? You'll be running around scratching your head trying to figure out why there are so many homeless people, or so many sick people, why don't your insurance cover this, why are the police allowing that.... So much injustice and so many problems in this society won't make ANY sense to you, because you left the factor of RACISM (what it is and how it works) out of the equation. Take RACIS…
