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…

There must be a whole bunch of giggling taking place around the world. Even though House Speaker Kevin McCarthy promised that his caucus members would avoid playing childish games during President Joe Biden's State of the Union Speech - they did anyway. MAGA Republicans showed the world just how stupid, immature and psychotic they actually are. Why? Because they knew they could get away with it and they knew their antics would play really well back home. So, to all the Black people who voted for Trump and still lean to the Right because you think solely of your income and how much better you are than those who are poor - this is what you want to be associ…

One of the reasons I like New York is because while Whites in the rest of the U.S. were so pre-occupied with oppressing the Black and Native American that they generally put their religious and ethnic differences aside, married among eachother, and blended their blood to form a United Front of racism....the White ethnic groups of New York decided to remain fiercely tribal and for the large part separate. There's been a lot of intermarriage between the groups obviously but New York is so large that it still allows Italians to marry only Italians if they so wish, Irish to marry only Irish, Jews to marry only Jews. As a result.....many of the Jews and Italians in New …

I ain't hating on Megan, I sure was very well compensated and I'm glad for her. What I find so remarkable is where we have come as a culture. The current presidential election is just another symptom, but Amazon prime day promotion is just so crazy to me on several levels. One, Megan is deemed suitable to represent a mainstream brand; two that Amazon has created a "holiday" where people are encouraged to buy more shit they really don't need, as if Xmas,, Valentines, birthdays, etc are not already enough reasons for us to go out and spend; three, Amazon requires a paid membership to even buy from them during this Holiday. This all to further enric…

https://chicago.suntimes.com/city-hall/2025/04/16/brian-hopkins-8-pm-downtown-curfew-city-council-vote In America's favorite punching bag city when it comes to violence, a Chicago alderman brought forth legislation that would allow police to impose targeted curfews whenever teens gather and/or get rowdy. We can already surmise these curfews would be imposed in and disproportionately affect Black neighborhoods. Let's see what Mayor Brandon Johnson does of anything to circumvent such a thing. Other cities are considering summer curfews too. Helluva way to welcome young folks to their break from school.😁😎

Segregations Heritage or Separation 101 The USA has always had a form of integration financially and never implemented segregation financially, a complete cut off between various peoples in the usa financially: between women side men or blacks side whites or religious side the atheist or other? Do you think a complete fiscal segregation movement is needed in the usa?

Okay. I admit I was sold on the global warming thang. Now though, with almost the entire U.S. under snow and unusually colder temperatures (and with the revelation that some of the scientists have been fibbing) I am not so sure. Al Gore sure didn't bite his tongue a few years ago, what with the film and the prize. Where is he now? Eh? If he don't say something soon to hell with my carbon footprint. I'll make it big as I please!

Anybody who believes the General was sandbagged by Rollinstone is an idiot. He bailed out on what he sees as a failing effort. We are broke. We cannot afford to do Iraq and Afghanistan AND meet all our other commitments in the world. Obama should have pulled the hell out of there already. Probably can't. He's little more than a puppet of the military/industrial complex. Nobody is afraid of him. He should have said that we are in the middle of an offensive and we will talk to the General when he is finished. If the General had been successful, then bygones are bygones. If he failed THEN fired him. Now if the "surge" is a failure it is Oba…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ID1Km_SdBYI&feature=related ************************************* One summary of the movie***** “My name is Alex. I may look like a little boy, but I am a grown up.” The opening scene of the 2010 film I Want To Be A Soldier leads the viewer to believe that the film will be about a rebellious youngster who won’t tolerate authority and won’t give in to threats. That’s Alex and he is only eight years old. But then we see other scenes from earlier in his life which portray an ideal upbringing of a young boy – recorded via the family camcorder. But is it the same boy? And if it is, what may have caused the transformation tha…

Dr. Neil deGrass Tyson Interview: thoughts on Writing, Mars, Curiosity, and the Higgs Boson Author Sandra Kitt, who I believe is Kensington's first Black romance author, who also worked with Dr. Tyson for 2 decades has generously agreed to provide me with an exclusive interview with Dr. Tyson. My schedule, unfortunately would not allow me to record the interview -- Tyson is hard to nail down with a schedule that make me look like I'm standing still. Kitt was one of the 1st authors profiled on AALBC.com and she was written, I'd guess, about 40 books or more by now. I recently connected with her for the first time in over a decade at our…

Amazon Will Consider Opening Up to 3,000 Cashierless Stores by 2021 (Bloomberg, Sept 19, 2018) Amazon.com Inc. is considering a plan to open as many as 3,000 new AmazonGo cashierless stores in the next few years, according to people familiar with matter, an aggressive and costly expansion that would threaten convenience chains like 7-Eleven Inc., quick-service sandwich shops like Subway and Panera Bread, and mom-and-pop pizzerias and taco trucks. At some point the government really will have to provide some form of minimum income for our citizenry. As even more low wage jobs disappear we are going to have to go something with folks who are simply …

Donald Trump is so intelligent, according to his supporters. Why Lord Dampnut maintains a keen grasp of world affairs and is someone global analysts seek out for his genius solutions to difficulties that frighten off lesser men. Herewith is further proof of the incredible thanks we owe his loyal band of knuckleheads. I don't know about you, but I bet Vladimir Putin is positively quaking with fear.

Hey @frankster You REALLY need to check this video out. Although I don't agree with some of them, what makes the video so interesting is that it's only a couple days old but Billy hits on a LOT of the points that you and I have been discussing for weeks and probably off and on for months. Topics from Atlantis to the Anunnaki to the Elohim to Nibiru etc....

I love language. And nothing impresses me more than succinct concisness. Words can be weapons. Neither can it be denied that talk is cheap nor that "brevity is the soul of wit". Is it any wonder that as I meander toward yet another birthday, this whimsical meme brought pause in my ongoing search for the meaning of "LIFE" . Having a sense of humor helps... Did I mention that outliving Pope Francis embarrasses me? RIP, ol fella.

https://www.npr.org/2025/08/27/g-s1-85911/cdc-director-susan-monarez-ousted-leaders-resign It didn't take long for former CDC director Susan Monarez to be fired/resign from her job. Monarez didn't go along with RFK Jr.s narrative on vaccines. She choose to stick with science. The funny part is the current administration vetted and nominated Susan Monarez to the position. They had to know where she stood on the issues. Shortly after Monarez was bounced, several CDC employees have also quit. Many of these people have strong backgrounds in medicine so finding a new job is super easy for them. Once political puppet…

There has been quite a bit of discussion about the paranormal lately as it relates to inspiration. A number of people here and in conversations I've had with others say that they are inspired by the universal consciousness, departed family members and other sources through non-verbal communications, typically while sleeping or, for the more sophisticated, during a meditative state. My personal beliefs are nearly as black and white as I may have expressed in a couple of conversations here. I was raised a Christian (Baptist), but I've read about a variety of things particularly as if relates to the paranormal. While I find the possibilities and subject fascinating…

Congrats to the Cleveland Cavaliers the new NBA Champions! The best team won. As the final whistle blew, the highly vaunted golden warriors were reduced to the tarnished ranks of losers. The Cavaliers and LeBron hung tough, and this hungry, gritty Cleveland crew stifled the wholesome, well-fed 3 point brigade. Now instead of comparing the Warriors to the CHICAGO BULLS, whose win-loss record they broke, Curry and Company have to defer to the Michael Jordan posse who continued their winning ways by taking it all. In the end, Golden State's spectacular season all went for naught, and the only difference between them and the hapless last place Philadephia 76ers are …

Last night, at the much-anticipated Golden Globe Awards telecast from Hollywood, amidst an ebony sea of sexually-harassed women and their sympathizers, all of whom were garbed in black to display their protest against male predators in the work place, Queen Oprah took to the stage and hit the ball out the park with her speech. There to accept a life time achievement award, Winfrey took the occasion to address the issue that has spawned the "me too" movement made up of women who have long endured being humiliated and disrespected by employers in a position to get away doing this. From all walks of life, victims are now coming out of the woodwork to tell their stories …

Henry Field (December 15, 1902 – January 4, 1986) was an American anthropologist and archaeologist. On page 154 of his book "Fieldmuseum of Natural History" (1939), Field states:"Physical anthropologists are certain that Mesopotamia was the eastern borderline for Semitic types of individuals and that the Semites, whom we know as the brown Mediterranean peoples who invaded Mesopotamia from Arabia, did not inhabit Iran at an early date. […] Nor did Nordic peoples speaking an Indo-Iranian language dwell in Iran in early times; the earliest evidence indicating their entry is dated to the beginning of the second millennium B.C. and is based on the mention of Indo-Iranian deiti…

It's not easy to challenge racism or work for positive social change. Most of us are just trying to live and work regular lives. Being an activist or running for elected office is an impossible task for most people. Maybe black people are no different from anyone else in this regard. At the same time when you look at the black community blaming all the problems solely on racism or economic injustice doesn't make sense. Black people mess up like anyone else. We succeed or fail based on individualism as much as fighting against racism. There are things we must do as people beyond struggle. These things are moral and spiritual. Other issues can be addressed by black communit…

When I first joined this site some people were lamenting the “poor” people who couldn’t even afford to buy a car in America. Now when it was pointed out there was a huge secondary market for car purchases that still didn’t dissuade them from the position. I bring this up because recently the Biden Administration is vigorously advocating we don’t need more oil production because we are transitioning. My question is transitioning to what? Elon Musk one of the leading proponents of Electric Vehicles recognizes the folly in that stance. My immediate response was that of course he would say that because if people didn’t have money or weren’t alive after su…

As mentioned before, when it comes to interracial dating, sex, and marriage.....I have a DOUBLE STANDARD. My rules for Black women are much different than my rules for Black men. I personally believe that Black men should be able to date and have sex with any race of women who consent, as long as HE has the upper hand in the relationship. However when it comes to Black women, I don't approve of them having sex with or even marrying White men except for EXTREME circumstances. I know this standard isn't equal, but I think it IS relatively fair.

I'm sure you'll enjoy this Professor Black Truth clip @Chevdove This is nothing new. Latinos have been expressing their hatred and racism toward AfroAmericans for DECADES in California. Maybe this will be the final wake-up call needed for Black people to pack up, get out of that racist ass state, and let it drop in the ocean. Just make sure we learn our lesson from this so we don't let them even TRY to do it to us anywhere else in the United States.

In 2022 I asked what is the most common action during Juneteenth. This year it occurred to me that while the Black community in the USA has known of the end of the war between the states since it happened and has praised it , wrote books about it, no celebration is unique to the Black community in the USA, in particular the DOS tribe. Now while it is sad that Juneteenth doesn't have a unique celebration for it after over one hundred and fifty years, talking with another privately, I realize the opportunity to create a unique celebration is present. So, I ask all black people, whether DOS or not. Any ideas for a unique celebration for Juneteenth? I kno…

Hours after making an appearance and speaking a few words at the Vatican, Pope Francis passed away. Pope Francis was 88 years old. He served in that role for 12 years. I remember when he was selected. Time flies. By most accounts, Pope Francis was one of the most personable and open-minded leaders of the Catholic church. He didn't live in the typical Vatican residence. Preferred to stay in an apartment on the premises. He will go down in history as a great one. Obviously, Pope Francis has to be laid to rest. The College of Cardinals will go into a conclave to select the next Pope. It will be interesting to see who ascends to…

Suddenly I've drifted into a crazy zone. I have nothing but time on my hands, and I live around the clock, only sleeping when I'm sleepy, only eating when I'm hungry, suspended in limbo. My Samsung smart phone is my ever present companion and it's like there's a connection between my fingers and its keyboard and I have a compulsion to just write long dissertations or crazy vignettes, my words and thoughts feeding on each other like i'm overtaken by a rogue AI entity that compels me to write about things I didn't know I knew, - like my subconcious mind is on overdrive. Like now. Fortunately, I'm not immobile nor in dire health. But I do tire easily, and like to…

Many say that Donald Trump's actions are unprecedented in the usa, or uncommon and yet, historians in the usa oppose this position. The question is simple, why do people in the usa claim things as unprecedented or uncommon in the usa when they have more precedence than many other things or at one time were more common than later actions?

I have to wonder when he set his sites on the presidency, if Barack Hussein Obama ever envisioned what lie ahead for him. Did he have any idea how, once elected, his "audacity of hope" would eventully descend into an "abyss of hell"? Certainly he knew that a victory would mean inheriting the dregs of his do-nothing predecessor, and it’s a given that there’s no way to prepare for the job of being the most powerful man on earth. But you’d think that realizing this, Obama would’ve kept in mind the importance of designating authority to people he could depend on. One year into his second term, the survivor of a lackluster first term, Obama is presently mired in the dee…

Amazon‘s is profiting from our insecurities with one hand and taking away jobs with the other. Amazon launched this product yesterday. Someone who knew this would tickle my fancy emailed it to me about it. I blogged about it, "Amazon‘s Echo Look: Exploiting Our Inner Narcissist." It seems strange to me that anyone would want this gizmo, but I know Amazon understand people very well, so I'm sure there is a sizeable market. Boy, in a world where companies can profit by writing code that tells women and metrosexuals what to wear, writing code to books makes one feel like an anachronism. Delano, I am a technological dinosaur.
