As mentioned before, this entire "show" about the state of California granting it's Black residents Reparations is a big trick-bag. An old "banana in the tail pipe" routine! First of all, the ENTIRE NATION owes AfroAmericans Reparations....not just California....so they are in no position as a state to singularly give out Reparations money. Besides, California wasn't a slave state anyway. (it is NOW with the highest prison population of any other state in the nation). I believe it's a TRAP to suck more Black folks from other parts of the U.S. into California to become residents of that state.....where they'll meet their demise.…

How many ballots does one think it will take before Kevin McCarthy is voted in as House Speaker? Or IF he is voted in. Besides being a villainous and unconscionable fraud, McCarthy also hosted Birthers in his House office - in the Capitol. Nice guy. I wonder if anyone cares to query him these days as to whether Barack Obama was born in the United States. For all you lovers of the GOP, this dysfunction is the just the beginning of the next two years.

@Stefan I remember you said in another thread we as AfroAmericans need to form coalitions and alliances with other groups as a political strategy but I forgot which thread it was. At any rate...... How are we gonna link up with other groups when we haven't even united (to a certain degree atleast) among OURSELVES first? AfroAmericans are one of the most divided demographics of this nation. Divided religiously, politically, socially, even sexually. There's even a massive divide and conflict between several GENERATIONS among our people....all pointing the finger and blaming eachother for current and past problems. When you're weak and suffering …

All of these presidents and vice president have nothing on me when it comes to newly-discovered documents. After all of these years I can't believe that I never paid any attention to the symbols at the top of this site; the bell and the envelope notifying me that someone is trying to make contact with me. Why I never checked these out, i do not know! Maybe because I never sign out of my account because i have such a frustrating time trying to get back in because I can't ever remember my pass word or user name and all that crap that gets co-mingled and entangled.. For some reason, I can't even sign in from my Android phone which is a pain in the ass because i have to …

@Cynique From Wikipedia In the religion of theosophy and the philosophical school called anthroposophy, the Akashic records are a compendium of all universal events, thoughts, words, emotions and intent ever to have occurred in the past, present, or future in terms of all entities and life forms, not just human. They are believed by theosophists to be encoded in a non-physical plane of existence known as the mental plane. There are anecdotal accounts but no scientific evidence for the existence of the Akashic records.[1][2][3] Akasha (ākāśa आकाश) is the Sanskrit word for "æther", "sky", or "atmosphere".[4] Naming the ability to record data; Akas…

New House Speaker Rep. Kevin McCarthy handed out committee assignments. Some notable are the following: Lying azz Rep. George Santos has seats on Science and Small Business committees. He won't even be in Congress long enough to do any work. Not that they were going to trust him with anything. Rep. Andy Biggs who was a Never Kevin, is on the Judiciary and Oversight committees. High level assignments. Rep. Paul Gosar has been reinstated on the Oversight and Natural Resources. He's the same dude who was previously removed from assignments for posting threats against fellow lawmakers on social media. 9/11 conspiracy theorist …

Once again, your boy is hitting HARD on the facts: Hey, love him or hate him you HAVE to admit the brutha his right and exact about how a lot of our sisters are practicing polygamy ANYWAY even if so many are CLAIMING to be against it. He also makes a good point about how for too long much of the conversation about polygamy is being dominated by educated financially secure women who don't need a man PERIOD...let alone having to share one. But THEY aren't the majority. The majority of sistaz out there are struggling, have children to feed, and are working long hard hours on jobs they don't necessarily like and would be GLAD to share a GOOD …

I have a "Conspiracy Theory" that many will REALLY think is waaaaay out there, but there's certainly some evidence to support it. It's said that society is getting smarter, more advanced not only technologically but intellectually. They say the IQ of the average person is much higher than it was 100 or even 50 years ago. They point to the fact that there are far less agricultural and manufacturing jobs and more IT jobs, professional jobs......jobs that require more education and thinking. My theory QUESTIONS whether or not human beings are actually getting smarter and more intelligent and posits the belief that this system is really WEEDING OUT most…

It will surely seem as if Christmas has arrived a second time for White Supremacists in Florida. That’s because Jair Bolsonaro, the White skinned and defeated President of Brazil, has left his country to head for the Sunshine State. This gives the southernmost U.S. state on the mainland three racists in residence: former President Trump, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and the demented Bolsonaro. According to a few news reports, Bolsonaro is headed for Orlando, Fla., the land of make-believe and Disney. ( When you wish upon a star that every Blackie lives afar. ) like Trump Bolsonaro, refused to attend the inauguration of the man who whupped his ass at the p…

Here's a fairly detailed time line of my practice. It is complicated. It is hard to understand because it isn't like anything else, plus I have been working on it since 1999. I will try to explain my idea and my initial goal. I started with Tarot and Numerology. Tarot is great for describing the situation, numerology was good for a quick character delineation. A Friend said my reading was good but I should include timing. So I started researching timing in Tarot. The general consensus is that either it doesn't work or is very general. I came across a few techniques to specify time. Using either the astrological correspondence or elements to specify the le…

According to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, the history of the Black Race in the U.S. has no educational value and should not be taught. This must come as a surprise to all the closet Republicans in these Discussion groups. It must also be a kick in the shorts to those with blinders on who claim Florida can't be racist because the state has a population that is diverse, beaches and lots and lots of sun. DeSantis administration rejects Advanced Placement course in African American Studies The rejection of an Advanced Placement African American Studies course follows efforts by DeSantis to overhaul Florida’s educational curriculum to limit teaching about cr…

Rodney Campbell @Rodney campbell You said in another thread: "Or how literally every illness disease sickness and negative condition in society is a direct result of the manufactured systemic use of TIME?" I was wondering if you could go into more detail on this. Explain in detailed AND simplistic terms how every illness/disease/sickness is a direct result of the manufactured systemic use of TIME.

Dear Friends, Last year marked our 55th anniversary in the publishing business. We are very proud to have built the oldest, independent, continuously operating Black publishing company in the nation. In October, we celebrated with gusto and invited our supporters, friends, authors and family to our headquarters to commemorate with us. The winter season is traditionally busy for us as we fill holiday orders for the Kwanzaa and Christmas gift giving season. This year however, our efforts were dampened when a water pipe burst beneath our building on a Friday night and quickly flooded the entire basement. Unfortunately, the flooded area housed the majo…

80,000 Protest in Israel! Vice Pres Kamala Harris Speech Sparks Protest-Univ. Michigan What a way to start out the new year! What an omen. However, based on how this new event has been presented though, I am not sure what is really being said. I do not understand who initiated this recent conflict that has led many Middle Eastern typed people to go out in the streets in America and the Middle East to protest. Over here in America, Vice President Kamala Harris appeared at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and supposedly sparked anger to the point that students began to protest on bullhorns. Sasha Obama had initially been enrolled in this university, but s…

There is a chitload of trauma we must still face, thanks to these dumb ass Republicans. But you will always be honored.

I saw it the other night. EXCELLENT film. It reminded me of one of my favorite films: Glory Nice long action packed movie. Will...as usual...was outstanding in his performance. I didn't get too hyped about it because I expected for it to be good, and I wasn't disappointed. I recommend everyone who hasn't seen the film to go see it. There is violence through out the movie but it has quite a bit of violence in the latter half so be forewarned.

You planned your cowardly attack since 2017. You shot ten people, terrorized all of New York City and thought little of it. But your oversized backside was never destined to escape the law. And that's coming, Frank James. You face life imprisonment on 10 counts for attacking the New York City subway system and a single count on discharging a firearm during the assault. I have no idea how much time you will get, but here's betting it's gonna be a lot. And it should be a lot. We do not need psycho knuckleheads getting all bent out of shape over their personal demons and then taking out their angst on perfectly innocent folks. There are too many of them try…

Do You Know Where Your Memories Are? Kashmir Hill Sat, December 31, 2022 at 10:14 AM EST I have many fears as a mother. My kindergarten-age daughter recently learned a game on the school bus called “Truth or Force.” My youngest refuses to eat almost anything but Kraft Mac & Cheese. Added to the list this year, alongside outside influences and health concerns, is the possibility that my daughters could inadvertently lock me out of my digital life. That’s what happened to a mother in Colorado whose 9-year-old son used her old smartphone to stream himself naked on YouTube, and a father in San Francisco whose Google account was disabled and deleted bec…

Prophecy of the Transatlantic Slave Ship Trade; Part 2 Untitled Image (Sleeping Positions of Captive Africans on the French Slave Ship L'Aurore) I posted an earlier thread titled; Moses Was Not the Only One to Prophesy About the Slave Ship Trade. This thread expounds upon that very subject but much more. One of the most amazing features about ancient script and prophecy would be that NO ONE BOOK REVEALS THE WHOLE. No one book reveals the whole aspect of prophecy about Slavery and the human sacrifice of the Black African humanity. To understand how Satan has premeditated against God’s creation therefore, all the prop…

For decades now, in both the mainstream as well as Black media people have been claiming there's a shortage of Black men in America, especially with regards to relationships for women. This so-called "shortage" has been blamed on everything from an increase in incarceration to an increase in homosexuality to an increase in homicides. Whether this shortage of Black men compared to Black women truly exists or not I'm not sure, I don't work in the Census bureau nor am I a demographer. However based on my personal OBSERVATIONS being in my mid 50s and having lived around this nation it seems to me that there is an ABUNDANCE of Black males! Whether at work, at …

ITALY For African Americans; In ETHIOPIA—A Statue Of Liberty Constructed Yes, there is something going on in the world about the issue of Reparations, all over the world. But I also believe that there are people working very hard to suppress it. Ever since the United Nations brought the issue of Reparations to the floor some years ago, I get the sense that there are all sorts of quiet ‘Movements’ that have been started. And because of the Biblical scriptures about the Hebrew Israelites that were prophesized to be victims of the Transatlantic Slave Trade amongst so many other kinds of African victims, well, I also believe that more and more, this issue …

It's been 100 years since the last time the party in control of the House had a hard time electing a Speaker. The GOP has a narrow majority in the House and Rep. Kevin McCarthy wants to be the Speaker. Yet, McCarthy is about 20 votes within his own party short of getting it. So far, over 2 days, he has failed 6 times to secure enough votes. Congress decided to adjourn until noon tomorrow. Then, they will resume wasting taxpayers dollars. 🤣😎

The city of Buffalo got dumped on by 4 feet of snow. Several dozen people have died as a result.

This bill died, sponsored by John Conyers (RIP) in congress in 2015, but can be reintroduced. H.R. 40 Commission to Study Reparation Proposals for African-Americans Act To acknowledge the fundamental injustice, cruelty, brutality, and inhumanity of slavery in the United States and the 13 American colonies between 1619 and 1865 and to establish a commission to examine the institution of slavery, subsequently de jure and de facto racial and economic discrimination against African-Americans, and the impact of these forces on living African-Americans, to make recommendations to the Congress on appropriate remedies, and for other purposes.

I was reviewing the discussion forum archives (2005 to 2010) and discovered this post from almost 18 years ago: “Makes you want to run out and kill someone” Basically, the post was about someone sharing information on a book of lynching photos, Without Sanctuary: Lynching Photography in America. I did not want to see the book and never even considered sharing it. I dismissed it as just cruelty porn The responders to my post disagreed with me saying it was important that this information be shared. I have clearly changed my position on this subject. I have (just now) added the book to the site. I guess I have learned a lo…

What is the United Nations Doing About HAITI? And, can anything be done to help the people, especially the children? I read that a Biden Administrator just recently resigned because he disagrees with the Biden administration's actions. Apparently, many Haitian's fled to Mexico and thereabouts after the 2010 earthquake and are now being deported back to Haiti by the Biden administration. And many of them were actually born in Mexico and have never been to Haiti, so obviously many of them being sent to Haiti are children and teen agers! Lately, I have been doing a little research about Haiti and I am honestly very surprised about what I have …

And so, since I read that many people had the same problem that I did, I decided to put some names to some of the pictures of the sisters. After researching and listening to their music for hours, I really can say, I believe they are so awesome and will cherish their memory. Three of the Pointer sisters have passed and now, only one is still alive and I hope that she will live on for many more years to come. At any rate following is a brief historical account of each of the sisters and their pictur…

Richard Shelby is a white elected official but I think his style is missing with black elected officials to black municipal districts, so not people like eric adams or former president barack obama but the city council/state assembly/house of representative members in the usa who are black and cover municipalities with over 90% black population. The question is simple, if you are in a black district <over80% black populace> shouldn't your black elected representative look to provide as much money as possible to the district you live in? Agree or disagree, please state your why? read the full article https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmu…
