Culture, Race & Economy

I'm on this mission to identify independent, Black owned, content providers. I'm most interested in new sources (you know the places where journalists used to work) It is part of a larger effort -- more on that later. At this point I'm not looking for sites producing the content of a single individuals, i.e. a Blog with only one contributor or authors websites promoting a single writer. Think sites like: The Network Journal http://www.tnj.com or The Amsterdam News http://www.amsterdamnews.com/ NOT sites like Black Voices http://www.huffingto...om/black-voices or The Griot http://www.thegrio.com/ Thanks

Have you seen this "documentary"? I am curious as to whether I am the only one in this world, besides Kam Williams, who questions the authenticity of this highly exploitative "documentary".

I think Astrology is a soft science, that is only limited by its practitioners.

Nah , I ain't an Alpha Male but I'll spar with them.

Greetings all, I'm hoping you might be willing to provide feedback on the following idea. Thanks in advance! ============== 1) Every black child born should receive a $100,000 education voucher which can be spent on any K-12, community college, trade school, or university program the parents feel are in the best interests of their child. 2) This plan should continue until such time as black and white Americans have, on average, the same level of wealth. 3) This plan would cost approximately 60 billion dollars. The vouchers should be paid for by the richest Americans, those who have benefited most from an economi…

Greetings Bro. Troy- (Gene Alexander Peters , the African American Artifacts Collector here). Just a quick question.... I recently came across an ORGINAL single-sheet, double-sided newsletter from the "NEGRO BOOK CLUB, INC" from 1963. Do you have ANY knowledge of this club/organization?? (I can scan a pic, if needed). Tks. 'Gene. (email= gene.peters@farmingdale.edu)

Lastly this. Here is scientific proof that supports unequivocally that we, the so-called black man and black woman in Amerikkka, are the folks in the Bible. So far, nothing has been able to refute DNA. It is universally accepted that DNA proof is ironclad. DNA markers are accurate when they pinpoint West Africa as the place of residence for most of us who are presently here in this country because it is true enough that we did emerge out of the West Coast of Africa, but that is not where we were from. Israel is our ancestral homeland. Luckily for us, a science called haplotype picks up where DNA leaves off. Accordingly, the E1b1A haplogroup is known to be most commo…

Spirituality is the counterbalance to our body, personality and all that is tangible. The body is a ship and spirituality is our anchor in the higher realms. You could exhange spirituality with world view or existential contemplation of essence. Religion is a lower order manifestation of spirtuality. Analogous to the word apple and the object. So your spiritual approach defines and informs your actions personality, thought process, and emotions. All of the later terms are constructs or a way to embody the intangible essence. These constructs are what make life feel real. Its easier to argue religion or spirituality. Than the reality of your body. Yet you…

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 saw on local news , black people talking about Juneteenth , and voting was mentioned as an action, besides the ever common mentioning of Black folk in the past. I will not repeat the details , but all the representatives of my district from the city to the congress are black and donkeys. Now, they haven't done anything brilliant but I don't know what more can a black populace in a district in the usa do then choose a candidate that says they will do better. Voters don't have a gun to anyone's head. They can't force anything. But a question occurred to me. if 100% of black people, who were eligible to vote, voted in the USA, what action will be uttered by the …

Is the West Winning the Information War with Social Media? I still don't have an opinion on this topic but I am trying to understand. However, when I watched this video about a month ago, I kept thinking about how this topic has been addressed here and can see this subject is not just confined to a small group of people here in America, but other people in other countries seem to be making similar statements about the power of social media and certain sites. Some of the comments about this video are eye opening for me: Benjamin isaac wrote: …

Here is the body of the letter. Please 🙏🏾 let me know if any additions or deletions should be made. To Whom It May Concern, Thank you for your service.

While sitting up here enjoying my Jamaican style Curry Goat (another invention by Black folks @Jeromex & @Wide awake that people of ALL races seem to enjoy), it just occurred to me....... That shooting in Jacksonville might have been in RETALIATION to that ass beating our brothers gave those devils down in Montgomery a few weeks ago! People all over the planet witnessed those devils getting their asses handed to them and made all kinds of jokes and memes about it.

Interesting debate I came across between Tariq Nasheed and a Puerto Rican urban historian on the origins of Hiphop. Perhaps @Troy and/or @Delano being from The Bronx may find this interesting given his presence there during the birth of Hiphop.

In a recent dialog with the good ProfD, we went back and forth over the differences in our "realities". I maintained that what he was speaking of wasn't a different reality but actually a different perspective of the SAME Reality. I had another disagreement with a brother at work over the same concept today which made me think of this again. Actually, it was ongoing because whenever we'd disagree over something he'd say that wasn't HIS "Reality" and then we'd start going back and forth over Realities....lol. If I said something he thought was outrageous or ridiculous, he'll usually say "Only in YOUR Reality"...lol. I'd constantly remind him that s…

"We're going to make America great again! We're going to send federal officers around America to round up the illegal immigrants! We're going to send in the actual military itself to major cities around this nation to round up Black criminals and lock them up and out of our society! That'll make these liberals and these blue city mayors squirm and cry....but we don't care!" After sending them in................ "Uh....wait a minute. You mean Black resident were actually HAPPY to see a reduction in crime and violence? We were hoping for riots and rebellions against this…

Whatever happened to the Tiktok ban? In hindsight the ban didn't kill tiktok but merely stymied its growth in the usa. Tiktok was poised to knock meta/facebook/instagram or youtube out of the water and a media campaign led to governmental or private industry rules on workers which stymied the websites growth in the usa, although, tiktok's growth in the holistic human community is unrivaled. Tiktok is the world's biggest social media service.

I have a blog radio talk show held Monday through Friday beginning in February 2010 from 10:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. at www.blogradio.com. The first week topic will be” Should Sex Be Preach and Taught in the Pulpit?” As you are aware, the HIV/AIDS epidemic among African Americans is growing in rapid numbers. I am challenging the Churches to take more responsibility to teach their members about sex without condemning them. Please let me know what you think by completing the comment form on my website www.changemybehavior.net. I will read your comments on the show. Thanks.

Hey @Delano I'm not trying to start a debate, but I wondering it you have any plans to watch An Inconvenient Truth 2. I know you have an open mind and are willing to consider information that runs counter to your world view. If you do watch this film let me know what you think about it. I actually have not watched either film. This is a trailed from the first film (2006) It seems it was on point...

I have stated in the beginning of March that we are watching the beginning of the end of Trump's presidency. As time goes on this will become obvious or I should stop political forecast.

OH WOW!--A 6000-plus Naked Eye Comet in the Sky This Month! I thought I saw something in the skies as I was gazing at the Lunar Eclipse and the Grand Conjunction in the wee hours of the morning this month on July 5, 2020! So, I just read in the news today that a third recent comet called THE NEOWISE COMET can be seen this month with the naked eye! The other two recent comets did not make it into our viewpoint and although the Neowise comet was slated to have the same fate, however, it has defied expectations! It was first seen on March 27, 2020 apparently, but not until observers spotted this comet did the news break! This Neowise comet has been reported to ha…

Google's Algorithm is working hard; it showed me this video front center. Knowingly manipulated, I clicked on the video and shared it here. I shared it because I through it would make @Pioneer1 happy and because I wanted to illustrate how Google fans the flames of racial strife. Facebook gets beat up on this all the time, but unlike Facebook Google's direct influence extends throughout the entire WWW probably has a greater impact. I'm not saying the pinheads at Google are trying to get white folks scared or fire up Black folks deliberately. It does not matter. The content they are PUSHING (I did not seek out this video of related content) it wi…

I'm a True Crime buff. I love reading about or watching re-creations of murder cases that dedicated detectives and dogged police work eventually solve. I tune into all of the TV staples on this subject: DATELINE, 20/20, 48 hours, Discovery ID, and last but not least, "Fatal Attraction", which is a black series that I watch on a regular basis. Like Maury's show, Fatal Attraction gives you a snap shot of the life styles of the black Section 8 sub culture or, in these cases, the death styles. The story lines on this show are very predictable because they all follow the same pattern. For all the black sistas out there, there are valuable lessons to be gained from watch…

It's strange how illegal Latino immigrants get "emergency housing" in hotels and college dorms, but Black immigrants have to literally sleep and beg on the streets of New York. Not even a damn shelter or tent being built for them.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesfarrell/2023/12/29/homicides-see-historic-decline-in-2023-despite-perceptions-that-crime-is-on-the-rise/ Murders have dropped by 10% across many major US cities. Hopefully, this downward trend will continue into the future. Let folks die of natural causes or incurable diseases. There's really no need to speed up the process. In the meantime, there is no shortage of issues to tackle with any potential savings in law enforcement, hospitalization and incarceration.😎

Lord knows just how incredibly short-sighted many Black folk can be. It seems some of you want to argue, insult other Black people and ignore the signs that Trump will win in November. (I sure hope it’s not because so many of you probably WANT Trump to win). Here is what you’re missing: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott just pardoned a White man convicted of killing a Black Lives Matter protester in the summer of 2020. Daniel Perry WAS serving a 25-year prison sentence for the murder of the protester, Garrett Foster, who was attending a racial justice protest with his Black fiancee. But Perry, an armed White man, didn’t fancy that one bit. Abbott had faced pressu…

Can someone explain to me why..... With all of these news and information outlets on the internet. Youtube channels and websites. NOBODY mentioned anything about Daylight Savings Time being last night???? It wasn't talked about on CNN or Fox News Nobody on Youtube talked about it. People talked about a whole lot of other shit but I didn't realize time had changed until I looked at another person's cell phone and noticed her time had change and started clowning on her over it and she reminded me of it.

I just started to read Epicurus Being Happy. It has the following quote, " Most people, however, recoil from death as though it were the greatest of evils; at other times they welcome it as the end all life's ills. @aka Contrarian "living well and dying well are one and the same discipline."

The Senecas, members of the Iroquois Confederacy, fought on the side of the British in the American Revolution. Red Jacket, also known as Sagoyewatha, was a chief and orator born in eastern New York; he derived his English name from his habit of wearing many red coats provided to him by his British allies. After the hostilities, as the British ceded their territories to the Americans, the Senecas and many other Indian peoples faced enormous pressure on their homelands. Red Jacket was a critical mediator in relations between the new U.S. government and the Senecas; he led a delegation that met with George Washington in 1792, when he received a peace medal that appeared in …

The Journal of Blacks in Technology (JOBIT) For the past 20 years there has been a growing digital divide that created a competitive disadvantage in the technology industry for blacks. We can no longer ignore the fact that black technology entrepreneurs have a mere 1% success rate for obtaining venture capital. It is time we take real action to increase the presence of black technology professionals who represent only 1% of the workforce at tech giants like Google, Yahoo and many others. It is our responsibility to address the issue of black technology service providers who are missing out on billions of dollars in government or corporate supplier contracts and strategic…
