The following is my thoughts to Elliot SMith's ranking of spike lee films interesting that the first movie spike lee didn't appear or use his artistic norms was get on the bus. I have many feelings about the million man march not appropriate for her. Awww crooklyn or school daze got less than chi-raq awwww I oppose that. Mo better blues , da 5 bloods ok clockers is one of his most common appearing films he got game ahhh, is it denzel summer of sam is better than crooklyn aww jungle fever , another provocative movie but is it really better than the one's before? she's gotta hav…

Sudan War, US & Russia Fighting Proxy War In Sudan To Set Naval Bases In Red Sea There are some new reports published recently that answers to some questions and viewpoints shared in this community about what is really going on with the conflict in Sudan! One viewpoint is that this conflict is about Russia being the instigator to abrupt outbreak of violence in Sudan but then another viewpoint is that it is not just Russia but a proxy war between America and Russia. Well, it seems like more and more reports support the latter viewpoint! Irish politician Calls Out Western Countries For Funding War In Africa Anot…

SURPRISE!--Another Undetected GREEN COMET Has Just Showed Up Near the Sun! The Three Green Comets; SWANN (2025), ZTF & Nishimura of 2023 The First Enigmatic Green Star of 2023– Comet ZTF Part III A comet not seen in 50,000 years is coming.

So, for this reason, I was determined to witness this wonder for myself! And for several ev…

This books is about semiotics and Magic. It's central premise is that Magic is communicative. Words have meanings that are both universal and personal. There are different types of language games: an order or emphatic request; the response to a question; a warning or a password. Words signs and symbols are communicative. And by strengthen your connection and understanding, you magnify the efficacy of your Magical Spell or ritual. A Grimoire is a book of Magical Spells. It literally translates into grammar. So Grammar and Spells are a fundamental component of Magical Workings.

Yes, the end is near. The world is in a state of utter turmoil. First the Haiti disaster, then Jay and Oprah and Dave and now, in the midst of one of its worst blizzards in years, during the wee small hours of the night, the great prairie state of Illinois experienced an EARTHQUAKE that registered a scary 4.8! Reports have been pouring in from pet owners who claim their unusually restless animals sensed what was about to happen and I, myself, must confess that at about 4:AM last night I had an urge to howl. Egads! It's time for me to get the hell outta here. Stop the world I wanna get off!

Eating is fundamental in the American experience. We are an overweight nation of delinquent dieters, furtively preoccupied with feeding our faces. And when it comes to holiday menus, nobody pays more homage to food than traditionalists who remain loyal to the time-consuming dishes that are anachroisms in a society which thrives on instant gratification. In fact, cooking from “scratch” is a badge of distinction reserved for those who spend hours in a kitchen, laboring over a hot stove, stirring and tasting, and wiping their hands on their aprons, Blacks, in their soul food mode, especially like to salivate over “Motha Dear’s” home-made recipes. And, although, with t…

This first time I saw this flag it was quite striking, blowing in the wind fully extended. It can be seen most easily on I-95 South near mile marker 134 or so, about 40 miles south of the Mason-Dixon Line. This Confederate Flag welcomes drivers on I-95 to the American South. The "flaggers" feel that our politically correct culture has falsely demonized this flag. That may be true. Today however the flag is not only a symbol of what was wrong with the South 150 years ago; it also symbolizes what is wrong with America today. I'm sure white supremacists are beaming with pride every time they see it.

The following is a conversation I've been having with some on my blog under the post Only 54 Black Owned Bookstores Remain in America. It is one of my post popular posts. If you have not read it check it out and share it with others . Recently someone made the following statement in reaction to my article: “The individual who wrote this article did a disservice to the real truth as to why black book stores are so few and far between - it is simply the fact that over 80% of blacks do not read books as much as their contemporaries...whites and Asians. If you do a study which has been done, blacks are the less likely to have a library card, a newspaper subscript…

Hundreds of US citizens die every year at the hands of law enforcement officers. Unarmed people being shot, beaten and even suffocated to death by officers, continue to make headlines, despite an almost continuous outcry. The average US citizen is over 10 times more likely be killed by police officer than by terrorists. According to the official sources, the police kill 2 people every day, according to unofficial sources, the police kill 4 people every day. It’s seems that killing people in our country has become the routine, has become something normal. Every video of police shooting of unarmed person is much more terrifying than any horror movie. Is it possi…

According to various estimates, 21% of young Black men will vote for Trump this time around. I am curious to why some believe this is occurring: Because it's no secret that Black women vote in higher numbers than Black men and tend to be much more loyal to the Democratic Party. Black women have always been the most reliable and the most loyal supporters of Dem Party candidates, especially when it comes to House. Believe it or not, a lot of young Black men get emotional over skin hue, a mixed person being called Black (think Kristen Welker) and tend to listen to their favorite celebrities rather than considering true facts. And maybe that is the reason so many you…

Praying for Book Review by AALBC. - My name is Ira Davis. I am the author of the book "War Between Good and Evil". ISBN is 978-1-953090-23-2. Publication Date 06/08/2021. Synopsis: War Between Good and Evil: A collection of Poems, Vol. I., is a completed 12,342-word poetry book that mostly describes life in America through the lens of a Black man. The poems describe the challenges of growing up in poverty with an absent father and a mother who will move mountains to hold her family together. The speaker describes his struggles and the challenges of making ends meet and how he eventually overcomes those struggles and achieves his aspirations. The poems are of conflict and…

I want to help more Black People prepare themselves for the Metaverse. No the MetaVerse isn’t Meta ( Facebook). There are actually different Metaverse. But one characteristic that most them share is that use crypto currency. Crytocurrencies are things like Bitcoin, Apecoin and Sand. New ones are popping up daily. For this post I want to introduce three ways to acquire, store and send crypto. CashApp Cash App (formerly Square Cash) is a mobile payment service developed by Block, Inc., that allows users to transfer money to one another (for a 1.5% fee for immediate transfer) using a mobile-phone app. The service is available only in Un…

-is our brother @richardmurray...lol. I've been seeing your name on posts for YEARS but didn't know you were such a deep thinker when it came to race and politics until the past couple months. It seems you only posted in some of the other forums but almost never posted in the culture-race-economy forum (just like I rarely post on any other forum but this one) until recently. I'm glad we have an opportunity to interact more with our brother but I'm curious; what prompted you to "expand your horizons"....so to speak???

African Leaders Summit Hosted by the White House & Interview with Dr. Arikana Chihombori-Quao OH MY GOD! Dr. Chihombori-Quao [Dr. Chi] is a walking, breathing, and living miracle! The Al-Jeerza Host, Mr. Steve Clemons, interviewed her and she was on fire! She was the former Ambassador of the African Union to the United States for three (3) years, from 2017 to 2019. And I posted a recent interview. She spoke after about 49 African representatives met at the White House. The entire video had me, figuratively on the edge of my seat! Halfway into the interview she addresses the issue of ‘racism’ and the African A…

Why White People are Called Caucasian I came across this scholarly video a few years ago and believe that it is very informative! At about the 16:25 minute mark a Black American man gives his viewpoint on his experience when he lived in Moscow about how Caucasians are viewed today in that area. However, my research goes much deeper than this scholarship! Although what I am going to share is not part of this video but I do believe it is very important. For example, in this video it is brought out that the term Caucasians was applied to White people around the modern age of our history. But now, I will share…

https://www.politico.com/news/2024/06/27/aipac-jamaal-bowman-cori-bush-00165174 Coming against Israel does not bode well for American politicians. AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) put up the money to insure Rep. Jamaal Bowman (NY) lost in the primary election. The next chip to fall could be Rep. Cori Bush (Mo). She's in a close primary race too. The Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) takes money from non-Black special interest groups. As a result, they have marching orders that have little or nothing to do with helping their Black constituents. Politics is a dirty business. Black politicians aren'…

POTUS OJ in his rambling style was all over the place in his speech which contained his usual talking points. In his speech, POTUS OJ berated world leaders for being weak & unable to defend their own countries & totally dependent on the US for security. He also reminded them that they were not paying a fair share of the tab for their protection. POTUS OJ is coming off as straight gangsta in everything fr…

Nowadays the economical crisis in European countries is the top and the highest discussed issue in mass media. Greece, Italy, Portugal… who is the next one? However, in such situation, the European elite is considering ability to give a chance to some different countries. The matter is about EU – Ukraine trade negotiations. For Ukraine it is new levels of trade, investment and growth and new kinds of economic freedom. So, what benefits will Europe receive? First of all it needs to draw attention that joining Free Trade Area is a part of the Association Agreement: the Association Agreement could be the first of its kind under the European Neighborhood Policy.

Because I'm 10 TIMES harder on niggaz than he'd even DARE to be! That racist devil would do himself a favor by sitting back and taking NOTES on how I go hard in the paint on these these silly ass niggaz who have been raising hell and embarassing our community for the past 50 years or so.

Friday a young Black man who was supervisor at my job was fired. The big wigs from corporate came down to pull him in the office and let him go. I tried to warn him. I had been warning him for MONTHS that many of his fellow White co-workers (as well as many of the Black ones) had it in for him. I said RACISM was the primary reason. Being of this latter generation who have been taught to blame EVERYTHING EXCEPT racism, he didn't want to hear it or believe it. I told him it doesn't matter how great his performance is or how well he did his job....racists don't care about that! Infact, the BETTER job you do the MORE the racists will HATE YOU!!!! …

Senator Tim Scott is another one of those self-hating Black men: This bootlick will do anything to cozy up to white folks. He's only been doing it his entire political career. A snowball stands a better chance of survival in an active volcano than Scott has of becoming POTUS. Sen. Scott is clearly auditioning for a VP or cabinet level position if Orange Julius gets re-elected. Sen. Scott should be Secretary of Interior. He's got his nose so far up white folks azz he can smell their breath. Of course, like Uncle Clarence Thomas, Ben Carson, Herschel Walker, Herman Cain (RIP) and every other wannabe GO…

The Democats clearly need to retreat, grow of a spine, regroup and come back with a stronger message. Otherwise, half the country has already spoken. They want round 2 wit…

What is the most you're willing to pay for a gallon of gas? Just curious to know at what point the family here would park the ride & use another form of transportation. It's amusing the same USA that 1) seized control of Venezuelan oil & 2) attacked Iran would pass higher gas prices to the same American people who are complaining about the price of groceries & healthcare. I doubt the price will hit $5 per gallon. However, jacking the price up by @ least $1 in less than a month doesn't show much concern for the economy & struggling people either.😎

All those apoplectic ministers and their flocks who give so much weight to bible verses that support their opposition to things like the legalization of same-sex marriage are nothing more than "Cafeteria Christians". They pick and choose from a menu of caveats, ignoring anything that doesn't support their self-righteous beliefs.
