Celebrity is to Americans as The Royal Family is the British. I guess there is something in human nature that creates a tendency in the majority of folks to worship celebrity. And this is probably sufficient to answer my question. I draw a line when we begin to value the advice of folks on subject matters they have clearly demonstrated little success in their own lives. I’m not trying to pick on Steve Harvey personally, because I’m sure he is no worse (or better) than any of us. I just chose him of as one example, of many I could have selected, to illustrate my point. In this month Essence magazine, Steve Harvey was on the cover again. This time the …

I know I'm getting old when I see something like this and think to myself, how silly can you be? If you don't like the job are wanna sell herb instead, just quit, like a professional--sheesh. I discovered this video on the News One website. Someone suggested to me that they are the most prominent sources of Black news on the web. I disagreed saying the it would be the Huffington Post. I'm not happy saying that, but that is my take. Plus I don't consider this particular story "news." Again, I get that it is starling, alarming and sensational. Indeed, I was even promoted to post it here. But if our most prominent new source has to broker in this type of n…

Dr. Yosef “Dr. Ben” Ben-Jochannan Born in Gondar, Ethiopia, Dr. Yosef Alfredo Antonio ben-Jochannan, or “Dr. Ben”(December 31, 1918 - March 19, 2015), as he is affectionately known) has devoted the better part of his life to the illumination of the indigenous origins of African civilizations.

Hello everyone, I sort of stumbled here looking for an answer to something. This is going to sound ignorant and, I suppose it is, just not maliciously so. I've lived most of my life in Finland and now in Japan and I've never really had many friends of color. English is also not my native language, so I hope you will excuse my question. Which words are acceptable or preferred when talking about people of color, if you do not know whether they are African-American or not? I know what the question sounds like and I promise you I mean it in the most sincere way I can. In Finnish there some words that can be used both in a neutral or even good way, but also be very i…

Well, as the dog days of August approach, on the threshold of into the last month of the 2017 summer season, what hot topics have recently piqued our interest and inspired our indifference. Let's see. Power couple, Beyonce and JayZ, welcomed their twins, naming them "Sir" and "Rumi". Jesus! i'm beginning to think that nowadays celebs brand their newborns instead of naming them, looking upon them as merchandise and accessories, assuming the world is just awaiting to hail who will turn out to be spoiled brats reeking with entitlement, and deluded into thinking they are special. Word has it that Queen B is breastfeeding her babies, something which i find fu…

Everyone knows that the Jews are God’s Chosen People, but everyone believes that the Jews who now occupy Israel are the trues ones spoken of in the Bible. Well, they are not the ones, we are. Thankfully, God said that He would leave a mark upon His people that would serve as a sign for who they are. I welcome you, at this point, to pull out your Bibles and turn to Deuteronomy 28. This was a very defining moment for us because it is through these specific passages that we are DEFINED. Please permit me the simple pleasure of telling you just how important that moment was. It was big for us because we are the only people that God Almighty made a covenant with. The Ten …

Black Santa Prank I hope I don't offend anyone, but if so, please let me know so I can make amends here. A few months back, my son showed me this youtube, and because, on a more sober note, I am sharing a deep message about the true oppressions of this ancient history about Ole Saint Nick, and because these 'comic relief' made me laugh, I thought it okay to share a little light hearted youtube about this spin off of 'Black Santa'-- or maybe Brown Santa, or maybe even White Santa... My son showed me this youtube in the parking lot while getting fuel and I thought it was so hilarious, I laughed till I cried. And I just ran a…

I Saw the LUNAR ECLIPSE! Actually, I had no idea that I was looking at a Lunar Eclipse initially. I had become very tired and laid down and fell asleep late in the evening on July 4, but when I woke up, it was after Midnight and I went outside to get some fresh air. So, in the wee hours of the morning on July 5, when I opened my door, I was surprised to see the sky lit up so brightly that I gasped and step outside on my porch to gaze at the night sky. Oh, the moon is full, I came to realize but for some reason, it seemed strange to me that the sky looked so bright and clear. I could see a few clouds gathering but nevertheless, it see…

From Garland Gregory ("THE NEW BREED REPARATIONS SANCTUARY) The following is knowledge/understanding taught in the classroom (where media news falls short): Chaos in the Republican Party?: Here Is The Sequence To An Unholy Marriage The 1800's northern slavery abolitionist movement was not well received by the Republican Party. However, southern Democrats seceded out of fear that Lincoln and Republicans would acquiesce. Lincoln and Republicans fought a civil war to save the union, not to free the southern black slaves. Northern Republicans won the war as Lincoln's growing conscience led him to i…

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2023/12/29/rev-william-barber-ii-amc-theaters-to-change/72057398007/ Rev. William Barber walks with two canes and has his own personal chair to sit. Last week, Rev. Barber took his 90-year old mother to see The Color Purple movie. Rev. Barber brings his chair into the movie theater as a reasonable accommodation. Yet, some goofy azz movie theater employees take exception and call the cops. The po-po escorted Rev. Barber out of the movie theater. Considering Rev. Barber was in his home state of North Carolina, clearly, these people should have known him. He's only the mos…

After 43 days of hand-wringing, Democrats caved in on a piece of legislation that reopens the government. SNAP benefits restored. Air traffic controllers and other folks will get paid. Surely, the Democrats got something in return...yeah no.🤣 Adding insult to injury, the Democrats are crashing out against each and pointing fingers at who's responsible for this cluster f8ck. Right now, I do not see how Democrats plan to reclaim the House and Senate and White House any time within the next several years. The Democratic party is still weak, spineless and rudder-less. They need a makeover and agenda to overtake the r…

The Filter Bubble: What the Internet Is Hiding from You (Penguin Press HC, May 12, 2011) by Eli Pariser (Author) Hardcover: 304 pages Author Q&A with Eli Pariser Q: What is a “Filter Bubble”? A: We’re used to thinking of the Internet like an enormous library, with services like Google providing a universal map. But that’s no longer really the case. Sites from Google and Facebook to Yahoo News and the New York Times are now increasingly personalized – based on your web history, they filter information to show you the stuff they think you want to see. That can be very different from what everyone else sees – or from what we need to see. Your filter bubble i…

Actually as far as I know there are no daily newspapers left in the United States. But in a post-racial American this matters very little. I'm quite confident Ruppert Murdock's, Wall Street Journal and Jeff Bezos' Washington Post has us covered in the print dailies. Plus, with the gift of the World Wide Web, we have up to the second coverage of all that is important to us as Black people. Our most significant sources of news of importance to Black people is amply covered by the Huffington Post. What else could we possibly need? Surely the few remaining Black owned newspaper must realize they are no longer needed or wanted--subscriber rates should te…

For almost a decade a few buddies and myself have a March Madness Pool. Over the last several years we have been using PayPal to send the entry fee. I already take it for granted that PayPal mines all our transactions for information. Perhaps the information they obtain is a revenue stream. But when they read our messages and arbitrary decide what is an acceptable transaction they have overstepped their bounds, on so many levels. When I send someone a check, Citibank does not email me to say, "Hey we don't approve of the reason for you writing a check, stop it." This is absurd!

Scotland's Sunday Post and a couple of U.K. newspapers have published a news story that reported that Prestwick airport, near Trump’s Turnberry golf course resort, has been told to expect a U.S. military Boeing 757 on January 19th. The aircraft has occasionally been used by Trump, the paper reported. There are two Boeing VC-5 aircraft that are used as Air Force One. But Trump will not be using them for this Scotland trip. The trip will allow Trump to avoid being in D.C. for the presidential inauguration of Joe Biden.

A hate filled white boy executes 3 innocent Black folks at a Dollar General in Jacksonville FL. This latetst hate crime against Black folks happened on the 60th anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington. The post-tragedy narrative remains the same. Thoughts and prayers to the victims. They mention mental health. The need for gun reform comes up. The FBI should have a drop on these folks especially if they're been flagged for mental health issues or post hate-filled manifestos online and oh by the way...purchase multiple firearms including assault rifles. The Baker Act FAILED to keep this event from happening. The shooter's…

https://www.forbes.com/sites/janicegassam/2024/01/02/claudine-gay-resigns-from-harvard-why-black-excellence-is-never-enough/ While Dr. Claudine Gay seemingly survived congressional inquiry into her handling of war protests on the campus of Harvard University, she ultimately resigned under intense scrutiny from the white court of public opinion. Unsatisfied that Dr. Gay wasn't fired after the congressional inquiry, white folks went after her academic record claiming plagiarism in her writings. I find it hard to believe Dr. Gay's credentials were not verified prior to white folks allowing her to become president of one of America's mos…

Democrats are still pulling out all stops in getting Black folks to vote. Former FLOTUS Michelle Obama is the latest to come out with impassioned finger wagging at Black men. Apparently, the threat of Black men choosing to stay on the couch instead of voting on November 5th puts women's reproductive rights in jeopardy. Black men will have failed to protect women's rights if they don't vote and get VP Kamala Harris elected. I'd imagine women's reproductive rights could mean something to men who want children. I'm not so sure that it matters much to men in the alphabet soup community and men who don't 1) want chi…

Hi AALBC fam! I was watching this video on YouTube, Comedian Shuler King and Pharaoh Head Part 2. And while I was listening to him drop knowledge, I thought about how much I missed this forum. It is funny how you can go through life and acquire a bunch of skills, knowledge, and still not know how to use them until you add LOVE. I feel like that sometimes, like I ask What's the point? Then, I remembered whenever I lost my balance, my family would fill me up with love, give me that pick-me-up, and I would get energized. But it hit me, there was still something missing. It was the part I felt while listening to Shuler. I remembered when I'd come right back here, get into s…

What did I tell you? Now, no doubt, a lot of you tree hugging leftist socialist lip dragging liberals are accusing him of selling out. You are absolutely correct. He had to. He's weak. That's why the Democrats allowed him to run. Can he get back his base? Sure. The rabid radical right is sure to overreach and act up. He can pull a Clinton on them and rope a dope them. For his base? He should get the hell out of Afghanistan AND Iraq now. With these tax cuts we cannot afford it. He could do it easy, moving them battalion by battalion and brigade by brigade.
