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…

Contrary to popular believe, the Holy Bible did not sanction slavery, nor contained any elements of slavery as was practiced in the Transatlantic slave trade, where a master has property ownership in another human being. The word slave as implemented according to the slave institutions in America was identified as meaning the white slave master had property ownership in the black slave. The slave was divested of all human and civil rights. The patriarchs of the Old Testament were Hebrew and conducted their lives according to Hebrew law of divine guidance and righteousness and customs as written in primary sources of the Holy Scripture such as the Hebrew Israelite Scrip…

Politically speaking, most oppressed minority groups in America vote Democratic against white, right wing, Christian, racist, homophobe Republicans. These groups are blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Jews, and LGBTQ. But, beyond the fact that they vote for the same party does not dismiss the tribalism that is strong among them. There are a lot of blacks that don't like Mexicans and vice versa. Someday, when the Anglo white population dwindles down to a bare minority (even though they will still have the…

Joe Biden really ticked off Republicans in his first State of the Union Speech. He stressed Equality, Fairness, healthcare and wants to push to cure all cancers and lower prescription medicines. He is not interested in giving free crack pipes to anyone. This is the delusion of Trump lovers. Unlike Trump, Biden can actually boast of his job creation record. Trump cannot. Because Trump left the Oval Office with less people working than when he first arrived. Under President Biden, Covid-19 is in full retreat. Because Biden’s administration took to this dangerous virus seriously. Republicans and those who worship Trump opposed vaccines and mask mandates and h…

I have currently been invited to participate in a Black History DAO. One of the things I noticed that we are sorely short on skills and knowledge. The question is are you willing to increase your skill level and help other people grow?

Back in May of 2016, based on Astrology I stated that Trump could end up being President and this would be the beginning of a tectonic shift in Goopolitics. Which we are currently experiencing. I was totally wrong about Trump being a better President than Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders.

Biden recently nominated Ketanji Brown Jackson for the supreme court. Initially, I was proud that a black sister was finally nominated. But quickly I went from pride to disappointment when the cameras rolled over to her husband, Patrick G. Jackson, who so happens to be white. It did not help matters that Jackson stood on one side of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris (also married to a white guy) was on the other. I know many are not in favor of being told who to love but this matter goes deeper than that. For some odd, unknown reason powerful black women are migrating to white men seemingly without regard for the message this send to a black brother. Secondly, there is the uns…

President Joe Biden has offered the country an incredibly qualified and talented Black woman nominee for the Supreme Court. Biden has selected federal appeals Court Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to replace retiring Justice Stephen Breyer. Neither one of them have any use for those alleged Biden free crack pipes. Biden's superb Black woman Supreme Court nominee

I believe that each State needs to have a commission to help people establish heritage.

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.

It is a victory for those who protest continuing police brutality and racism against Black people. To all who protest the deaths of innocent Black men, women and children at the hands of police ... thank you. Three cops convicted of violating George Floyd's civil rights

If a black child comes to you, born and being reared in the usa, and asks: " I Want to be a soldier in the USA military but I don't know another reason , outside it looks cool, my parents said I must come up with one reason that involves the black communities betterment or they will send me away, please help me"? What do you say to the child?

Donald Trump was always a toady of Vladimir Putin. He agrees Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. But, how many of his supporters on here know this conflict could curtail African imports of food from both countries. Africa food supplies could be hurt by invasion

If two stores exists on one street. And both have their own rate/type of average customers or retailers. If a teller of one store is not honored in the other, is that a problem? I utilize the cinema of India to suggest a pathway that can make Black thespian obsolescence in Hollywood not a problem in the Cinema of the USA https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=1837&type=status

I find it interesting yet somewhat annoying that there are many people including clergy who stumble over this question or subscribe to the false notion that God sanctioned slavery. When God released the children of Israel from Egyptian captivity they were a free nation, with their own laws and customs. After being held in bondage ,It is ridiculous to think that the almighty would ordain laws allowing the Hebrews to oppress other nations as they were. What Moses regulated to his people was a system of servitude based on justice not chattel slavery. Chattel slavery as applied in the Transatlantic Slave trade granted the rights of property ownership in human beings. The M…

Hey @Delano does that mean anything? I guess I could have asked the question the day before when it was 2/20/2022 on on the on the 2nd, 2/2/2022 😉

The following is from an Indian Epigraph yoga (CII 4), meditation; a philosophical system (C/7 3 ; IA 17), addition of the longitudes of the sun and moon; an astrological element. In addition Yoga means union which can be sexual, spiritual either or both. It also means yoke.

From Global to the neighborhood.

And here we all are in the U.S. with some rather dense-minded black Americans still walking around in circles, while trying to figure out who's really kicking their a$$es. Just ask the white folks in (what's now perceived as) fascist Canada, who's kicking their a$$es, literally.

What is it that you feel you have mastered? And what or who has you enslaved I believe my ability to recognise patterns is pretty good. Emotions, they don't always make sense but provide great comedy and enliven tragedy.

Name one Black elected official in the USA that earned Black votes by government expenditures or laws they made to exclusive Black communal benefit? I asked cause in NYC some are already taking about elections later this year especially with financial outlooks and I find I always ask the question above , offline or online, and I never get a valid answer. Giving a name isn't enough, you have to list the expenditures to the benefit of black people or laws to the benefit of black people.

I had a conversation about the word Mulatto. This brought me to revisit these essays.

Former AG Loretta Lynch has been hired by the NFL to defend it against discrimination lawsuit filed by former head coach Brian Flores: https://www.npr.org/2022/02/16/1081264704/loretta-lynch-nfl-lawsuit The NFL is a mulitbillion dollar business. Hiring a black attorney is a Chess move. I can only imagine how much money the NFL offered her to represent them. Yet, it wouldn't surprise me if she's willing to do the work pro bono. Sadly, some black folks hate being black so badly that they'll do anything to get an honorary white pass.

Police allow their racism to rear up in response to a fight between a black and white teenager: https://www.npr.org/2022/02/16/1081155557/nj-police-fight-mall-teenagers-black-white When separating them, one police officer escorted the white teen to a couch to cool off. He was allowed to go home. Turns out he was the bully and instigator. Three police officers left the black teen on the ground with a knee in his back and placed him in handcuffs. He was taken to a security holding area. Turns out he was the hero in standing up for another kid who was being bullied. NJ governor has already admitted the police showed racially …

I hope everyone is having an amazing day. I am a 27 year old black woman and I find myself not knowing what I like? What I'm good at? In this day of age, music and hookah is most of my peers favorite thing to do any night of the week. I enjoy it, I am somewhat of a party animal compared to my friends but I can't deny that I have this emptiness once my hangover is over. A sense of boredom. I haven't even watched Netflix because most shows are boring, I don't want to force myself to watch a documentary at 9pm just to say I'm stimulating myself. This is the first message I've ever written and it's FUN but then as a millennial instead of enjoying just writing, I'm already thi…

New York State Attorney General Letitia James seems to be swinging for the fences when it comes to the Trump Organization. Far from being a business genius, the truth that the former President is also a lying crook is leaking out and folks associated with him are doing their best to protect themselves. The latest gloomy news for the former chief executive is that Mazar USA, which handled the books for Trump's company, said in court filings that ten years of financial statements from 2011 to 2020 cannot be relied upon. Oh, you don't have to believe me. Here, read it for yourself from the esteemed National Public Radio, the non-profit and privately held me…

Best Romantic Scene in a book or film between two black people? IF you can link the image/page/video et cetera

I was waiting for this. While watching the Super Bowl halftime show last night, I mused about how many White Conservatives would immediately become enraged over all the fun everyone in the stands was having. And boy, I was not wrong! White people who fear us and envy us will never get over our staying power, our talent and our intelligence. They could not wait to criticize the halftime show. Bengals rookie kicker Evan McPherson actually stayed on the field to watch the entire show. Don’t worry, White racists. What you witnessed is just another display of Black Excellence. You should have drank it all in. This way, you might have been able t…

Not sure if anyone covered this issue since the controversy a week ago but Whoopi got in trouble for claiming that the Holocaust wasn't because of race. They even suspended her for that comment. Well......she's right. Jews...for the most part....are NOT a separate race from the rest of Caucasians. They are part of the same race. There ARE some Black and mixed race Jews, but they are a relative minority. The vast majority are Caucasian (White). Jews are an ETHNICITY...not a race. They are bound together not by blood but by culture and history. The only difference between them and other White folks are their religious and cultural practices, and…

For a homework in school I need to write about black people in the USA. If you’re American and you wanna help me, take your time and answer my post. if you’re white: 1. Are you male, female or identity as something else and how old are you? 2. How do you feel about black people? 3. Do you think there is such a thing like racism or do you even support the idea of being better as a white person? 4. What do you do to support/fight against racism? if you’re black: 1. Are you male, female or identity as something else and how old are you? 2. How do you feel about white people? 3. How do you or did you…

Critical Race Theory, so misunderstood by White Conservatives and Black Conservatives, is what I said it is: A university course. And guess what? It DOES make White people uncomfortable. No child would understand a university law course. So it does not matter how loud unhinged and fact-challenged individuals scream that children are being subjected to CRT. Because they're not. Now, if people actually did a bit of research ( instead of getting mad at those who actually do ), they would have discovered this. Duke University's Law School is a description of Course 504 - Critical Race Theory: "The course affords students an opportunity to think abou…

Kurt Zouma is a black athlete. He kicked a cat and made a video of it. Adidas terminated their shoe deal with him. Years before Eden HAzard a white athlete. Kicked a ball boy and he didn't lose his shoe deal. Years before Luis Suarez a mestizo athlete. Achieved multiple incidents of biting another player. He didn't lose his Adidas shoe deal and Adidas publicly stated, I paraphrase, they talked and the player comprehends the standards of adidas. I end my examples that show incongruity. This question I have in this post isn't about the incidents or the actions of adidas. If a firm has the right to maintain or destroy a relationship based on a whi…
