Rep. Hakeem Jeffries is stepping up to the plate to become Democratic Minority Leader in January 2023. House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi will be stepping down as Democratic leader. The GOP will take over the House in January 2023 which more than likely means Rep. Kevin McCarthy will become House Speaker. Otherwise, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries would be the 1st Black person to hold the Democratic Minority Leader position. At 52 years old, Rep. Jeffries would also mark at generational shift in Democratic leadership. Right now, octogenarians run the show...House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (82), Democratic Majority Leader Rep. St…

I have been thinking about people's concepts of the way the world works. Maybe the ideas aren't true universally or perhaps there are unknown windows when and where they are true.

Now that he's acquired Twitter, it seems that Mr.Musk is leaving his "musk" and musty scent all over the place to mark his territory: Elon Musk Belittles Black Twitter and His Black Employees (msn.com) Where is Kanye on his "friend" Elon Musk?

What does it take to force Biden to atleast PRETEND that he's prepared to mobilize NATO to defend Poland and maybe even Ukraine after Russian missiles actually penetrated the Polish border? Does Jada Pinkett have to come to the White house and give him one of her side-eyes to stir him up and force him to take some sort of action???? "Go just sit there and do nothing, huh....ok. Said it was an honest mistake? Ok...."

Looks like Rep Karen Bass will be the 1st female Mayor of Los Angeles. Her opponent spent $100 million of his own money in a losing effort. Hopefully, Mayor Bass will be able to make a difference in reducing crime, homelessness and unemployment in the city of angels. 😎

As most of us already know, the 13th amendment did NOT abolish slavery as is falsely taught in schools, it literally states slavery is allowed as punishment for a crime. CLEARLY The 13th amendment only transformed the conditions in which slavery can occur, and DID NOT abolish it. And there are literally just as many slaves ALLOWED BY LAW today as there were back at the worst times of slavery in the U.S., I really believe this needs to be fixed and the 13th Amendment needs to state that slavery can not be allowed under ANY circumstance, and I know I can't be the only one that feels this way. AS truly abolishing slavery would be stating, slavery is not allowed u…

Look who popped up across my Youtube screen yesterday...... At first I thought it was some brother running for Mayor or a member of Biden's Administration until I looked closer at the name. Troy you're looking kind of professional up in this video. Looking like you know what you're talking about...lol. I wonder does the Wall Street Journal know you like WE know you....LOL.

Ethiopia & Haiti in the News-Demonstrations About three (3) weeks ago, millions of Ethiopians and Eritreans, and other Habesha people went to the streets to protest. Apparently, about a month or so ago, military forces from America under the Biden administration and military forces of several other countries all over the world were deployed to the Horn of Africa to make a show of force to help in a major civil crisis over there in which millions of people have died recently. I’ve heard little bits and pieces about this supposedly, horrible crisis that some experts describe as a genocidal event. However, only a few weeks ago, I heard that somehow, peace has…

The problem of Wakanda side Talokanil for writer? and a few extra thoughts. My reply to the Knights Watch review of Wakanda Forever A review to Zuko's redemption I feel is a great reply to the Knights Watch review, focusing on my point that Wakanda Forever is through the cultural lens of the Black or Indigenous experience and thus unsuitable to judge by white european cultural standards.

🙄 Don't look like too much has changed on Twitter to me. They're still making up excuses to delete posts by and ban accounts of Black users while justifying why they let White users come on spewing all types of vile filth in the name of "freedom of speech".

After 100+ Complaints Made an Ohio Judge Was Finally Removed This video came up on my channel a few days ago from Pink Book Lessons blog. Besides my own experience, I never would have imagined that a judge would be allowed to carry on in this manner. But then, she may have learned from watching other White judges who have gotten away with bad behavior and thought that she could do the same type of behavior with no recourse. _____________________________ … to set up a reward system for bad behavior whereby Black people are rewarded to continue to foster Black oppression even to their own detriment … The question should be as…

PHOENIX (AP) — Democrat Katie Hobbs was elected Arizona governor on Monday, defeating an ally of Donald Trump who falsely claimed the 2020 election was rigged and refused to say she would accept the results of her race this year. Hobbs, who is Arizona’s secretary of state, rose to prominence as a staunch defender of the legitimacy of the last election and warned that her Republican rival, former television news anchor Kari Lake, would be an agent of chaos. Hobbs’ victory adds further evidence that Trump is weighing down his allies in a crucial battleground state as the former president gears up for an announcement of a 2024 presidential run. So, there you ha…

Any writers in here with zero or near zero drawing capability want a chance to have a complex logical process, commonly called, an Artificial Intelligence, compose a work of art for them? I am considering making a group in deviantart for you writers. Writers who also draw, like me, your not welcome for now. For now, just the writers who can't draw https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/art/Dreamupgif-937250338

Sometimes I'm glad I didn't go to college because I'm not sure I could tolerate the extremely strict rules this society has set for so-called professional at a corporate and national level. When I look at those in the media and national spotlight whether they are professionals in entertainment, politics, religion, etc.....it seems you have to be near PERFECT in your thinking, looks, performance, social relationships, and have a near spotless record going back to Kindergarten . "Mr Perfect" ????? When you look at the news, it's full of entertainers and politicians who were otherwise smart and attractive but mad…

Wakanda- yes, do I have artistic issues... I have artistic issues with everything in art. But, I am overhjoyed of this financial news. Happy for all the Black folk involved first, but everybody else as well. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/black-panther-wakanda-forever-box-office-sequel-1235260713/

HELL NO There IS no damn "free speech" in this nation. Since when? Since when have rich Black folks been allowed to sit up and say WHATEVER the hell they wanted to a national audience with absolutely no consequences period???? If there's no history of it, then why in the HELL would people expect for things to be different for Kanye? 🤔 Now think about this........seriously....let's think this through together...... You run around claiming Jews run the world and control the media. THEN you start bad mouthing them. Now you wonder why your money is being snatched, you're being demonized in the media, contracts being cancell…

Everyone in this community who wrote/drew/performed knows that in modernity control over one's art is a challenge. Here are some thoughts.

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!!!! …

Good news:) It will make its money. Regardless of what you think of wakanda forever, all the black people employed, in my view, means its financial success is important for black people getting more work.:)

A lot of lies, wishful thinking, and confusion has been promoted through out our community but especially the past few years with so many "internet scholars" claiming Black Americans are everybody from the "true Jews" to the " true Native Americans". I'm no scholar but I've done decades of research on race, religion, nationality, as well as psychology and how people are manipulated through their base desires. I'm gonna lay out some facts in a simple way and compare it to the prevailing ignorance as a contrast to highlight it and make it more clear. WHAT is a "Hebrew"? The word "Hebrew" is an English mis-translation of the original word "Iboo" If …

I repeat Which story, written by a Black person, do you recall most that involved elections?

Those Egyptian Eyes: Genetics & the Bible Part II Introduction~ Who Came First? POINT: 1-8, 9-15. [POINT: 1] Today, the word ‘African’ can express a variety of distinct meanings so the term will usually be coupled with another expression to distinguish among certain racial groups. So, the term ‘Indigenous African’ will often be used to define early African people that have similarities as opposed to many other people that later came to be defined also as African. Likewise, the term ‘African American’ today, can reflect many different kinds of people so, other terms are affixed to distinguish the earliest kinds of people…

A Jubilant Time Indeed at the Center for Black Literature’s 20th Anniversary! “It’s terrific to see so many friends and what really feels like family!” said Johnson. “It’s always a great thing to be honored by the people you’re really trying to serve. It’s been almost 25 years to the day––October of 1997––that I started, and I would never have thought it would be my livelihood. And being honored for it is just unimaginable!”
