The idea of MAKE A STORY is simple, nothing grand, or complicated. One starts a story with a paragraph 100 words maximum, and tags someone to continue. The person who starts keeps track in a post, like this. And, whomever is tagged, tags someone else to continue. The story is never ending. But, it will give everyone in this community a chance to do something positive or functional with everyone else. At the end , all the participants can debate a title:) Ok , I will start In the vastness of space, in a universe whose name is unknown, in a galaxy some of its inhabitants call Isi, orbiting a star system of three stars some call The Three Queen…

Black Women & Blonde Wigs; What About Black Men? The Origins of It Wongel is fast becoming one of my favorite youtuber to watch. This recent video had me almost in tears from laughing. She revisited this topic because just recently, Kenya passed a new law in which their judges and lawyers are no longer required to wear the colonial wigs. Furthermore, Wongel did brief research of the origins of these ‘blonde’ wigs and powered white wigs that Black African men and women wore in their courtrooms in certain African countries. However, it should be obvious to most of us that the origins of it stems from the colonial movement from Europe due to the early …

This Trump supporting CEO wouldn't hire me because I am black and old. He called me a boomer and tried to talk like a brother. I passed very coding test, but in the end, he said there is no room for someone as experienced as me. He tried to bond with me calling me a broza and asking if Knicks are my favorite basketball team. CEO is white and clueless. We need to stop racism at work. Please leave a review here: https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Vowel-Reviews-E5492257.htm

I have attended several of the debates hosted by Intelligence Squared in person and watched many more live. I have not listened to this one yet. Generally, they are quite informative. Attendees are asked to pick a side on the proposition, in this case, Should Trump Be Indicted? You can for, against, or undecdided. The winner of the debate is the team that has converted the most number of people to their side For or Against. Again, I think Trump should, like anyone else, be indicted. He has lived a charmed life free of adverse consequences of the consequences of his bad behavior -- indeed has been rewarded for it! It is not his faul…

Nick Johnson Interviews Dr. Daniel Leroche MD, How to Be A Successful Black Man Dr. Daniel Leroche Nick Johnson is awesome. He turned up on my channel yesterday, and initially, I thought his video was going to only cover the subject of a Florida’s rich and poor community, however, Nick has produced his video with an aggressive concentration on issues of racial disparities and he does not back down! He introduces Dr. Leroche at about the 9:40 minute mark of this video and I loved every minute of it! Nick continued to lead the question on ‘racism’ as he interviewed the doctor. Dr. Leroche’s responses wer…

I thought he would have been in prison by now.

I remember years ago when I first started posting on message boards there was this one British site I used to post on which was for the most part a typical message board where people posted their random thoughts, music, events, and ofcourse petty gripes and beefs back and forth. However it had a VERY WIDE range of individuals from all backgrounds of society who used to post on it from attorneys to revolutionaries to college students to rappers. The professional and academic people would often get tired of interacting with the general public of the forum and would go off to a secret spot where only they knew about and would "invite" who they wanted to participate.

Are you taking your vitamins and supplements? I was listening to Dr Oz on the radio the other day and he said to avoid eating junk food 🥘 on the road he kept nuts in the car. He said the body doesn’t crave calories, it craves nutrients. I think he is right. A few weeks ago I had started using vitamin patches to boost my Immune system. I found that the combination of drinking more water and using the patch it has caused a decrease in food 🥘 cravings. I just placed an order for the Complete package. I would love ❤️ to get more people responses about their experiences. Please visit my Instagram …

The Dozens. A Black game of supposedly friendly rivalry and name calling ; in reality, a crucial exercise in learning how to absorb verbal abuse without faltering Audre Lorde .

Black women and men fight between ourselves over who has more of a right to freedom, instead of seeing each other's struggle as part of our own and vital to our common goals. Audre Lorde

Those who really think the Republican Party is a force for good need to understand this organization's agenda is to whitewash the country's history and that includes any mention of Black luminaries. The school district labeled the pictures "age inappropriate." Since when are paintings or photos of Dr. King and Harriet Tubman inappropriate? They have never depicted in a state of undress or in a compromising position. Explain why Black History must be erased in deference to the GOP's fanatical hatred of anything they claim is CRT? Florida teacher resigns after school removes pictures of Dr. King and Harriet Tubman

Merrick Garland admitted today that it was he who authorized the warrant. This is a blatant banana 🍌 republic moves. Trump continues to fight against the Bureaucracy for the people of this country. The FBI needs to be dismantled and the Justice Department needs an overhaul.

Well, looks like replacements have been sent in. With the expulsion of Greg, a new troll has appeared on the board to take up the bad mouthing of "the black community", Different name (Pierre), same script. Since their weaponized words reinforce rather than dismantle problems, these agents of the right wing turn dreams of black unity into a nightmare. So, what else is new?

I was wondering why there are so few posts on here bragging about the potential of crypto currency riches. I guess I won't see anymore let's prepare for the Metaverse threads.

Apparently most of you don't know what an ALLEGORY is. An ALLEGORY is basically a symbolic story. A story used to conceal certain historical events and facts that weren't meant for the public to know. It's not the same as a myth or a fable, it has a specific purpose and that's to conceal truths from the general public and put it in symbolism so that only those in certain societies with the proper "keys" of understanding can figure out the true meaning behind the message/story. The Bible is full of ALLEGORIES. The Bible is a book made up not only of many different books stitched together over thousands of years by different authors and authorities, but e…

Why Insult the GWOAT!? This is another way this acronym has been portrayed and I like it much better than GOAT. Anyway recently, there has been much rhetoric about the track star Sha’carri Richardson both negative and positive because she was recently cut from being able to compete in major track events across the world but more so because she has been very vocal too, in speaking out against certain athletes one of which was Allyson Felix. But why? Like many other athletes, Allyson was asked to make a comment about Sha’carri and imo, she responded very favorably, however, Sha’carri went after Allyson which much indignation. Not only did Sha’carri insult Allyso…

The former POTUS took a few boxes of government documents to Florida when he left the White House. That's against the law: https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-mar-a-lago-government-and-politics-9e8d683afe87389407950af7ccfdbdd6 It took a while for the government to retrieve the boxes. No telling what documents were pulled from the boxes before turning them back over to the feds. I would be surprised if the FBI find any documents in that house. If they do find anything, someone was very stupid, cocky or sloppy. For many years, they haven't been able to make anything stick to Teflon Don. Let's see if the FBI co…

Republicans demand your vote, but don't care if you or your diabetic friends and relatives die when they can't afford their insulin. I guess that's why sliced a measure to prevent private insurers from gouging insulin patients from the Democrats' climate and economic bill that was just passed in the Senate. And before anyone says "it would have cost too much," remember those trillion dollar tax cuts for the rich. The money was supposed to "trickle down" to the Middle Class and the Poor. Republicans block cap on insulin costs

Whether it's race, class, gender, sexual orientation, or gender identity our society is troubled to the least. It doesn't matter which party controls Congress or the Presidency either. Getting any significant political reform to benefit working people or ensure a more free and equal society for all seems impossible. So, what's wrong? What keeps us from moving forward? Consider the narrative of a center-right political consensus. Secondly, the role of so called moderate centrists especially in the Democratic Party; and lastly the role of wealthy people and big corporations. Politicians in both parties more or less uphold the idea of less government, lower taxe…

After mentioning them in a post to Troy in another thread, I felt compelled to produce THIS thread in commemoration of my Parents. The SUPREME BEING is my absolute Best Friend, however.... Among human beings, my Parents (so far until someone else comes along who treats me better) were my BEST friends! I didn't realize this until not only after I became an adult but after they passed away. This thread may seem a little selfish or self-centered, so does anyone else feel the same way about their parents or atleast A parent?

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has arrested and charged former police officers who were responsible for the raid and firing shots that led to Breonna Taylor's death. It took almost 2. 5 years to bring these killers to justice but better later than never. I hope AG Merrick Garland brings a solid case against them. Breonna Taylor's family has already won a civil suit. Putting these murderers behind bars would bring justice full circle. 😎

If I was the CEO of Discovery I will shut down all the activities of Warner Bros media that isn't making money and put up bids for temporary licensing of the horde of media properties, forcing them to be displayed on Discovery channel media outlets.

Brittney Griner has just been sentenced to nine years in prison. I am certain a lot of commentary should follow.

Over the years, I've encountered many individuals who remain curious about who was Black in the Bible. A lot of them spout legends and myths are absolute falsehoods. Some even mention individuals who actually never appear in the Scriptures. So I did research and here are my findings. When compiling this data, I incorporated the claims made on different Websites and by individuals. I chose to stick with only what I found in the Bible. This way, I would not codify legends, myths and feel good tales. That's how we ended up with a White Jesus. One of the things that stood out is that the Bible rarely mentions the skin color of individuals, despite widesprea…

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…

Your twice-impeached heroic dude just growled that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi "was always causing trouble." Yeah, well, that's what one does when they believe in Free and Fair Elections and of course, Democracy. They defend such things. Good thing you're not in charge, Trump. And it's becoming clear that more and more voters are finally beginning to recognize you're nothing but a liar and a fraud. So, you can go back to playing bad golf with your conscience-less pals and whispering to any Russian agent within earshot to send WNBA star to Siberia because "she's spoiled and makes a lot of money." By the way, Lord Dampnut, what do you think of Paul Whelan? …

Never count out Democrats! Because it was TWO Democratic Presidents who have struck the most devastating blows against this country’s most intractable opponent: al Qaeda. First, after Dubya failed in seven years to even find him, it took President Barack Obama to order U.S. Special Forces to strike and take out Osama bin Laden and snatch his body to prove it. And two days ago, President Joe Biden ordered a drone strike which obliterated bin Laden's successor Ayman al-Zawahiri. Methinks Joe, might be on to something here. Because during his presidency. Barack Obama was a true U.S. Commander-in-Chief, killing terrorist after terrorist and nary breaking a sweat. …

Compare how articulately Ice Cube handles this interview back in 1991 with how most rappers of that age and older conduct themselves today! You can't TELL me a DE-volution isn't going on where the intelligence and articulation of so many of these young men have declined so much over the past 30 years. The stark contrasts are obvious.

I've said it over and over again online and in real life. Lately I've been saying it at my job. People stand there and hear me, many even listen to me, but most of them don't react. I'm not sure if it's that they don't believe me or simply don't care because they got so much going on in their own lives. As AfroAmericans we can have ANYTHING WE WANT as long as you unite and demand it. Really, it doesn't take for all or even most of us to unite. All it takes is a CRITICAL MASS of AfroAmericans in any given setting and racism collapses or submits to our demands whatever they may be. Whether it's government programs, grants, more jobs, higher …

I’m gonna give the white guy who shared this YouTube video the benefit of the doubt given the title of this video. I assume disparaging title was crafted to attract viewers. It popped up in my YouTube feed and I was amazed to learn it was a young Claude Brown, author of Manchild in the Promised Land! I have never seen a video of Claude Brown. He grew up in Harlem and I could relate to his story. for a kid his 20’s I think he handled the interviewer well. He was right the about Moynihan report. The interviewer kept pressing about out of wedlock births, while completely ignoring the reasons for those conditions. Interestingly the rate in Ha…

The company reported quarterly revenue of $28.8 billion, down almost 1% from a year earlier and slightly below the $28.9 billion Wall Street was expecting. It marks the first time that the company has posted a quarterly drop in revenue from the year earlier." (The full article)
