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…

He said he can tell people about in one day six million riders and only six felonies that day but people need to feel safe. So, the mayor of NYC is flat out saying that the problem isn't crime but the perception of crime in nyc and this means that people , like some in this very online community are so frightened or afraid of violence that even if they have no personal story or incidence they are only content when zero but that is a dysfunctional desire. But, the war on crime is turning , every day more and more i notice the mayor or governor seem dedicated to getting latinos as the primary war on crime target which overall is going to be better for the black …

Thinking of Tiktok I realized something. Has @Troy figured out or implemented a plan for aalbc members to carry their data over to another website when [if] aalbc close its doors? I am not trying to be morbig, and I wish troy many healthy happy years but I have been part of a number of esocial media closings and not all closings had tools to carry content over. I am just wondering... Open Pulpit

It has come to pass the US has bombed 3 major Iranian nuclear facilities. At this point, it still doesn't make sense for the current administration to suggest there's any kind of deal left for the Iranians. Unless the US and Israel are worried about Iran using remnants of their nuclear program to make dirty bombs. In the meantime, some folks will be placed on high alert for terrorist attacks in retaliatin to the bombing. Russia and China are still real quiet as a joint strike (US/Israel) against Iran went down. 😎

@Chevdove We talked race relations and I told you that it seemed to me that races get along much better in Canada than in the U.S. and there are many opinions why, but most AfroAmericans who've spent time in both nations have come to this very same conclusion. This is a recent interaction between 3 different races: Black civilians Asian civilians and Caucasian police. Now I want you to pay attention to what you SEE and what you DON'T SEE..............

If you live long enough, some time you get to see things come full circle. After I enrolled as a Freshman at the University of Illinois in September of 1951, I soon became immersed in a tight little community consisting of about 300 black students on a campus whose total population was an eclectic mix of 25,000 or so young mid-westerners from the farms and villages, towns and cities all over the state of Illinois, fresh-faced sons and daughters of the heartland, venturing out into the world, eager to further their educations at the flagship state university whose alma mater statue towered over the campus broad walk, welcoming all comers with open arms. Among the black g…

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/leavitt-reveals-nj-drones-authorized-faa-white-house/story?id=118187426 The government has just admitted the drones flying around were authorized by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). @frankster, I understand this could be the officialdom response to hide the *truth*. I always felt the gov't was aware of the drones and most likely responsible for them too.😎

When I heard that Roland Martin lost his talk show, my first impression was damn don't tell me Roland sexually abused someone too! I have not dug deeply into the reason for the show's pending cancellation, so I don't really know why it is being cancelled. I was not a fan of Martin's show and did not watch it. I caught a few youtube videos and I just did not vibe with Marin's personality. His show was one of a shrinking number of political talk shows and I would rather have his show exist than for it not to exist. That might sound like a contraction, but it really is not. We have so few platforms where Black people can talk about Black issues with…

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 …

https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/trump-expected-link-autism-with-tylenol-experts-say-more-research-needed-2025-09-22/ Nevermind that acetaminophen commonly known as Tylenol has been around for over 100 years. While there is no scientific proof, the current administration under POTUS OJ claims that pregnant women taking Tylenol could lead to autism in their unborn children. In making his announcement, POTUS OJ needed help pronouncing acetaminophen. Leader of the free world can't read. Go figure.🤣 This is consistent with the Secretary of Health & Human Services attack on vaccines and anything …

SOmeone attempting to hang themselves is funny. the following is from ny1 where i got the stills, most of the news outlets to their forever dishonor have omitted form their videos the clear evidence of law enforcers laughing at this. I know many see the issue as feliciano but for the issue is black law enforcers who think hanging is a joke. I don't even know what my parents parents who knew what a hanging of a black person was like will say. I wonder. Let alone my parents, parents, parents whom i know were abused by whites in various ways I will not go int…

Group Calls on Black Community to Reclaim Black Economic Power by Bob Law From http://www.buyblackallyearlong.com New York, NY – A coalition of Black media owners, professional and political organizations are calling on African American consumers across the nation to begin immediately to redirect a minimum of $20.00 per week in spending to Black-owned businesses. The initiative being called “The Million Dollar Black Spending Power Campaign” is being organized by local groups in a number of key cities. It is projected that even with minimal support this effort may turn one million dollars per week back into predominantly Black communities throughout the countr…

I made it! Today is my birthday. 83 years ago during the throes of The Great Depression, the doctor my Daddy worked for, delivered me in the bedroom of the home where I lived in Maywood, Illinois, an idyllic village where I spent a carefree childhood, surrounded by playmates, playing house, jumping rope, roller skating, playing hopscotch, getting sprayed with the garden hose, starting high school, going to football and basketball games, cheering on the teams of Proviso high school, leaving for college at the U of I., making more great friends and enjoying fun times, then completing my education at the Registry Department of the U.S. Post Office, soon getting married to …

@umbrarchist I promised that when I had more time I would go into a brief explanation of the Yakub theory as taught by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Although I don't KNOW if it's true or not since I wasn't around to witness it...I believe it because it makes more sense than some "evolution" garbage that White folks and ONLY White folks came up with...and people of color later on began to just "accept" like most things White folks present to them....to explain their origins. Forget the bullshit you've seen and heard on the internet CLAIMING to explain Yakub, who he was, and what he did or what Elijah Muhammad said about the making of White people. Forget …

Only found about this Netflix documentary. Watching it right now. Saw the trailer first on You Tube and read some fairly strong comments there amongst others.

Actor Jonathan Majors was found guilty of a misdemeanor and a violation that could result in up to one year prison sentence: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/jonathan-majors-trial-verdict-1235759607/ Majors will lose more in job opportunities as a result of this situation. He's already been dropped by his management company. Marvel comics is removing him from their movies. A Black man should know there is a huge target on his back. Any form of success increases the bullseye range. For a Black man, any and every transgression of law especially of a violent nature will be prosecuted to the fullest extent. …

PROTEST IN AFRICA FOR DEATH OF GEORGE FLOYD? I have read a few reports about protests in African for death of George Floyd and that are from certain African countries and officials, but it does seem that there are no widespread protest coming from that realm. For this reason I have contemplated. But as of now, I have not formed an opinion. I've seen a report of a South African woman's emotional response upon hearing a tape recording of George Floyd pleading before he died. I have seen that there are protest outside the embassy in Kenya. I have seen protest in Tunisia. I have seen a report about a few West Africans who protested nearby U.S. Embassi…

In a recent conversation on this discussion forum I made the following observation, “It is interesting to observe how women are not nearly as devoted to Hillary as Black folks are to Obama.” I usually share quotes from these forums on social media. In reaction to this quote Zane a very popular author wrote the following: “Women tend to be bitter toward other women and don't want to see them succeed. I am riding with Hillary to the end and my stance has never changed. In my life I have faced more discrimination for being female than I have for being black.”—Zane, 213 time AALBC.com Bestselling Author The main reason this struck me is that I have watched Zane's ca…

The George Zimmerman trial and especially the peripheral affairs that surrounded it has really forced me to re-evaluate my political and social ideaology. I'm not talking about the behavior of George Zimmerman himself. That's an easy one....he murdered that boy. But more specifically I'm talking about: -The defense of Rachel Jeantel's disgraceful testimony by so many responsible Black people. -During the trial when it came to listening to public responses, I saw so many Black people who seemed not to be able to talk properly or express themselves adequately despite the fact that they were born and raised in this nation and it was embarassing. -The fact that li…

A funny thing happened on the way to the revolution. Somebody forgot to tell us that, in our rush out the door to join in the riches of the larger society as a result of desegregation, we might want to preserve at least some to the things that made us a self-sustaining community, just in case. Well, with the current high unemployment rates among African-Americans, higher than the nation as a whole, that "just in case" moment may be here. The one thing we may have forgotten to do "just in case"? Mind our own businesses! It’s no surprise that, as times get tough, people tend to look out for their own. Yes, that means a lot of cronyism, a little bit o…

Israeli Students Don Blackface & Mock Indigenous African Kids This is so offensive and sad. During these times when there is so much emotion about the horrors that are going on over there in the Middle East, this evil is unbelievable. And some of the people that commented on this video really bring out a lot of harsh reality, anyway about the true identity of the Israelites. One commenter posed a question as to whether or not, these people joke about the Nazi in the same tone.

Amazon as been selling bootleg books for as long as I can remember, but the idea that they allow 3rd parties to sell trash as new under the Amazon brand is disgusting.

There is a female counterpart to the gender war. I am not sure what it is officially called but I think it is the Sisterhood. Their spaces on You Tube and the internet are targeted toward black women just as the black manosphere is toward black men. The "the black womansphere" as I called it is divided into three sectors 1. The Anti-Colorist. 2. The Hypergamist. 3. The Divestors. Examples of anti-colorist content creators are Chrissie, Paris Milan, I Am Eloho, and the more feminist For Harriet. They explain how…

So I am in Mexico for the next ten days. So far it has been an interesting trip. I see people that look Hispanic, Spanish, German and Indian. There's a real mix of looks. It's a place that juxtaposes the old and the new. I have seen a few women in traditional dress. Mostly it is jeans. Logos and tattoos. I saw one for with a Tupac t-shirt and another work an Jordan 23 t-shirt. Where I'm am staying I see a few prostitutes. They work day and night. When you pass a cheap hotel you see one or two. The other day I saw I guy who was both homeless and naked. Before I got to the end of the street the police were taking to him. …

What is your favorite Science Fiction movie? And why? Do you believe in Aliens? Extraterrestrials? Extra sauce? Have you ever seen a UFO? Been aboard one? Did you have to pay? (If you got a butt probe, that means you paid). I have no further comment on that.

Black Misery Is... Believing you are woke, but realizing you are fast asleep. 😉 I was collecting information about a literary magazine, Brown Sugar, that I plan on adding to the site when I discovered this description: “Brown Sugar is a womanist literary magazine for women, womxn, and womyn of color, of any nationality, sexuality, religion, or cultural diasporas that are misrepresented and underrepresented.” I've seen womyn before but, womxn was a new one on me. My understanding of what I thought womyn meant seemed to preclude the need for womxn. Obviously I was wrong. Issues of gender, transphobia, sexism collide to…

I don't have an answer... yet.

Are geniuses mystics? Is genius inspiration apllied to a problem, where the field can be science art or discourse. Einstein said imagination is more important than knowledge. The theory of relativity was a result of a dream that he had. Mozart stated his compositions were akin to dictation. What place does the daemon, the inner voice or inspiration have in the creative process.

This suns up everything that is wrong in the Black Community; All the problems in the black community is right here in this troubling article and its way too common in black america. problem 1) young mom having kids out of wedlock. problem 2) young mom having multiple kids out of wedlock. problem 3) no structure in the home. problem 4) no stable man in the home. problem 5) Violent young blacks. This article is disturbing but black leaders will falsly blame guns and whites when that is not the problem. We need to blame ourselves for irresponsible lifestyles. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna131280

In another read, one of our contributors who claims to be a Democrat said to another who claims to be a Republican: These may be old fashioned ideals that many Black people have gotten away from, but my question is...besides Ideal #3....does President Trump embody these ideals and how does supporting HIM enable or restore these ideals in our community? Does President Trump take personal responsibility for his behavior and indescretions? Does President Trump support funding and improving and building more institutions that educate Black children? Does President Trump support Black people being financially literate and achieving economic independen…

I was looking for successful people to follow on Instagram and I stumbled upon this article. https://blackwealthrenaissance.com/2020/10/26/10-fast-growing-black-owned-companies-blazing-through-the-pandemic/ The next two years are going to be full of opportunities for those with the right mindset. Are you in any of the industries listed and what are your experiences? I wasn’t aware a Black Company bought GreenDot: The flood of customers forced OneUnited into expanding to 100,000 new locations and acquiring Green Dot, which allows people to deposit cash on the go in locations nationwide like Wal-Mart and CVS.

So Musk bought Twitter to make it a legally private data source that is being grown real time by the public users to his own private modern, circa 2025 , computer system commonly while falsely called an Artificial Intelligence, xai. The money he loaned to buy twitter he presented this to them in some way or form. Alot of data today is behind various paywalls, literally as in terms of service or legally through lawsuits if accessed. So getting data that is not only of a heavy quantity while still being added into plus private to all other data acquirers is priceless. Even if former twitter losses social media market share its value to growing xai is on course to making los…
