Culture, Race & Economy

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:)

Tariq Nasheed briefly talks about the Conspiratorial atrocities racists are committing in Africa while going off on anti-AfroAmerican Africans.....

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 …

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?…

😏......yep.

I wish American legislators were as aggressive with the misinformation propagated on American platforms. TikTok is a threat in terms of revenue, as Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube are all trying to mimic the platform. They are all manipulation engines designed to generate profit. Are we afraid that China will use the data against us to spread misinformation in the United States? Facebook has already allowed Russians to do this. AALBC in recent weeks has become a platform where misinformation is being propagated. Someone posted here that the average IQ on the African Continent is 70! I had half a mind to delete that false infor…

Women of AALBC, true? Men, can you support the claims? Supposedly, cause I don't know if this show is real...a white radio broadcaster is calling on barrack obama to be executed if trump is put in jail

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?

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! …

I find it so interesting that since the 90s, whenever you hear the term "conspiracy theory" and talk of conspiracies it's some middle-aged White man on the radio or on the microphone ranting and raving about the "government" or what "they" are doing to the food, the environment, through the media to harm or manipulate the public. I find it interesting because it SHOULD BE Black folks leading the charge against conspiracies, since Black folks have been the number one victim of racist conspiracies for about 500 years now. Drugs were brought into Black communities to destabilize them and HIV was invented by racists to control the Black population, yet how many Blac…

Are there any sign types that you get along well with, which ones do you find challenging.

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.

@Cynique after reading about your experience missing the movie Us. You don't know how lucky you were. I saw that movie this afternoon and is was the sorriest film I can recall seeing on the little or big screen. We went to see it last night, and the 9 p.m. show was sold out -- in suburban Tampa no less! We went this afternoon instead. It was simply boring. I almost walked out. The only thing that stopped me was the belief that the film could not possibly be so bad to the end. surely something was going to happen. The reveal was obvious, totally underwhelming, and poorly executed. Lupito's fine acting could not make up for an ridiculously i…

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.

So can ignored users see what's being posted by people who ignore them? Asking for a friend. 😚

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 …

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…

Do you think Donald Trump will do jail time?

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…

Will post later

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 …

You ask is it a sin, and that is a false question. a sin is when something is false. If people are in a polygamous relationship then it isn't a sin. And I exclude religious queries as my reply only deals to the secular. The question is, is it a problem. And the answer to that isn't complicated. The key is freedom. Is this freely being done? Are three or more people engaging themselves absent coercion or trickery? if so then , no problem. It may not be a common act. but again, commonality or religious legitimacy aren't issues. https://blackplanet.com/post/433519?start=0

The movie has broken a box office record for a sports film with a weekend opening gross of over $100 million worldwide: ciehttps://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/creed-iii-box-office-opening-1235340591/ Since I think Michael B. Jordan and Jonathan Majors are both talented actors, I'll definitely check the movie out the within the next few days. Don't bother to tell me who won the fight.🤣😎

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.

😏Lol....I know good and well I shouldn't be cluttering up the board with this excess thread but I guess I'm just trying to be cute. To those who feel AfroAmericans NEED to go out of our way to form alliances and coalitions with other groups outside of our community in order to be successful: -We are statistically tied with Latinos for the largest demographic behind White Americans, so we have the numbers -We have more political power than any other demographic except White Americans. -And although it's disproportionate, I "believe" we actually have more WEALTH than any other group outside of White Americans! Asians and Latinos have a lot of weal…

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…

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.

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…

@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"?

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. 😎

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 …

“Black films which make an impact on our minds and hearts are also making a sizable impact at the box office. Our top film, The Woman King, bridges the gap between telling important, heartfelt stories, and providing an entertaining experience for movie-going audiences.” —AAFCA president and co-founder Gil Robertson As previously expressed on these forums I would agree with the African American Film Critics Association's (AAFCA) assessment of The Woman King. Now I have only seen three of the films on the list, but The Woman King was one of the best films I've seen in a long time. If Davis does not earn an Academy Award nomination it will be a travesty. …

Erectus Walks Amongst Us is a book that supports the idea that niggers are in fact Homo Erectus rather than Homo Sapiens. Studies have shown that nigger DNA are the closest to chimps and also the furthers genetically from all the other races. The facts in the book has so far not been refuted.I want you guys to let this sink in for a second. Niggers are LITERLLAY NOT HUMAN. They aren't even the same species as Homo Sapiens. In fact bonobos are genetically closer to humans than niggers are.

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?
