This book may be of interest to you: Godfrey Mwakikagile, "Reflections on Race Relations: A Personal Odyssey." https://www.am*zon.com/Reflections-Race-Relations-Personal-Odyssey/dp/998799783X There are parts of the book, which seem to be about half of the entire work, you can read by clicking on the link below. I am not familiar with all the books written by Africans about their experiences in the United States, including racism, but this is definitely one of them, covering the abuse and humiliation of black people not only in the United States but also in Africa - and wherever they are: https://sites.google.com/site/intercontinentalboo…

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/young-black-voters-2024-biden-1234965054/ Democrats may have problem with Black voters in 2024. Black voters especially under 50 years old are 1) questioning what Democrats have done for them and 2) threatening to vote for the couch. Black folks have mostly voted Democrat for decades knowing Republicans weren't going to do anything for us. The Boomer generation is fine with the status quo comfortable with retirement and social security checks. Gen-X has just enough access to employment opportunities, capitalism and gross materialism to be complacent with t…

So Assad give up, leaves Syria to go to Russia and let the anti-government Rebels take over the nation. We hadn't even HEARD from these rebels for the past 5 or 6 years, the government had all but decimated them. Now all of a sudden they pop up out of nowhere and TAKE OVER? And Russia...who was supposed to be Assad's backer and benefactor....just goes along with it? Russia has MORE than enough fire power to stop an advancing rag-tag heavily armed street gang riding around the desert on jeeps and toyota pick-up trucks. But they just LET these dudes ride up into the major cities throwing up peace signs and claiming victory, without so much as a fight? …

For anybody who is curious as to why I no longer use my original user name on this forum, why I, who was once known as "Cynique", am now known as "aka Contrarian", this is the explanation. I have been contributing to this discussion forum off and on for over 20 years. Back in the day, as a retiree who was an aspiring author, its "African American Literary Book Club" title drew me to this site. And having always considered myself to be somewhat of an "iconoclast", I decided I wanted my avatar to reflect my personality, so I came up with what was a combination of "cynical" and "unique". And the "Cynique" moniker was born, replete with a somewhat devil's advocat…

Mathematician Gladys West dies at 95. She was a hidden figure behind GPS As a young girl in the Jim Crow-era South, Gladys West passed the time counting fenceposts, dreaming of life beyond her family farm south of Richmond. Each day, she walked three miles to a segregated one-room schoolhouse with a leaky roof and a solitary, underpaid teacher. And each way, there and back, she counted the fenceposts along the road, discovering that she had an aptitude for numbers that would help her bridge the distance between poverty and opportunity, between a life working in the fields and a career helping society advance beyond its limits. Dr. West, who died Jan. 17 at 9…

As part of the AALBC upgrade, I have to move to a dedicated server. The shared environment I current run on is not allowing to add the features I'd like to add and to make aalbc.com a truly world class website. This discussion forum may experience a brief outage (hours not days). It is also possible some posts may be lost depending upon when you make them. So please do not share anything you do not want to lose until I give the all-clear. Finally, I will probably migrate to newer discussion forum software (...ugh, I know). The problem with this software is that they are pushing upgrades to a cloud-based solution which is much more expensive. I'm…

I belive it because black youth dont know who they are. There are no positive roll models. Most guys they look up to are ether drug dealers or users. single mothers raising boys by themselvles. boy still crave they male image to look up to. There is no direction for our youths on a positive level. Look at china they have currulim for study starting they childern very young. knowledge instills disiplent and thats what our youths need.

The Only One Chapter 16 “It’s like waitin for the other shoe to drop.” Philip Atkins was saying to his partner Brooks Jones as they rode along, on their way to their favorite greasy spoon diner for lunch, discussing the fact that the garbage dumpster serial killer hadn’t struck lately. “Maybe he’s on a hiatus,” Brooks suggested. “Might have an engagement lined up for tomorrow night, one that shows some promise. And even if the date doesn’t cooperate, he can still get his rocks by killing her." “Man, that’s cold,” Philip scowled.. “You sound more like a misogynistic rap fan than the - cerebral jazz devotee you call yourself!” “I’m just trying to get insid…

Well, the time is drawing near and I will soon have to decide who to cast my vote for in the upcoming Illinois primaries. My choices are represented by Clinton and Sanders. Everybody else is out of the question, particularly Donald Trump, that ego-maniacal, fascistic xenophobic, ignorant mouthpiece of the worst America has to offer. (Funny how when checking out the Wendy Williams show the other day, watching her toddle around in stiletto heels, almost pitching forward from the weight of her enormous implants, her glassy eyes peeking out from the drapery of her latest wig, lasciviously sharing gossip with her enraptured audience of giddy women and gay men all of whom ha…

What books do you recommend for children under 10 years old to help shape a more diverse and accepting world, and also grow positive self esteem? It would be great to see an African American children's corner as we need to galvanize more young readers. It has been said that readers are leaders. Thank you Author Brenda M. Tillman, Happy! Happy!

@Kalexander2, in an earlier conversation, brought up an online news firm he'd previously planned to start, the JPCC News agency. That actually reminded me of a company I started, back in 1991 when I was in MBA school, working in the computer lab with @Delano. I'm order than Del, but he was ahead of me in school.' Anywho when K2 mentioned "JPCC" it really triggered memories. I went to the Wayback Machine and found a snapshot of the JPCC website from 1995. JPCC was one of the first websites that I created; I'm not sure what year that but it was not long after the Netscape Navigator web browser became available. AALBC started as a directory on this website ba…

3 North Carolina Cops were caught talking about a race war and planning on buying more weapons to kill as many "n*ggers" as they can.................. So, Daniel.... Is this an example of that "bogus racism" that you speak of? And do you "forgive" them? Wait....they didn't even ASK for your forgiveness, so this is going to be a hard one...lol

I am curious to know how the racial injustices suffered today are impacting mental wellness. I noticed that as a result of such occurrences that many of the people in our communities are experiencing symptoms related to PTSD and increased anxiety and depression. However, I am not certain that we are seeking the help we may need to process what we are really facing. Has the conditioning of our society, culture, and tradition desensitized us to the point that we are potentially suffering emotionally inside of suffering through everything that is going on? If so, what can we do to help?

Embattled UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set to resign at some point. Maybe PM Johnson will finally get to the barbershop for a decent hair cut. He also needs to see a tailor to get fitted for suits. After 60 members of his government quit, PM Johnson has lost the confidence of his party. The citizens are ready to see his circus leave town too. I hope the US will be fortunate enough to keep its former clown in chief from bringing his big top back to Washington. All it takes is for the GOP to close ranks and shut him out. Unfortunately, power and greed are intoxicating. 😎

OCTOBER 14-Upcoming Solar Eclipse! Ancient Halloween & Black Themes Coming Soon: A “Ring of Fire” in the Sky On Oct. 14, 2023, an annular total solar eclipse will be visible to millions across the globe as it sweeps through the skies of the northwestern United States through Mexico and Central America and into South America, exiting the continent in Brazil.

https://foxsportsradio.iheart.com/content/2024-02-21-kansas-city-chiefs-parade-shooter-told-police-he-was-just-being-stupid/ Unfortunately, in an episode of dumb sh8t n8gglets do, a 23-year-old Black man decided to pull a gun and start shooting at another group of dudes with whom he had words. The shooter claimed he pulled his gun because he feared the young woman with him might get shot by someone from the other group. Reads like he was showing off. The argument stemmed from the shooter looking at the other group. That's dumb n8gglet sh8t right there. A set of eyeballs should not lead to shots fired. Further down the road o…

A writer for the Home Box Office show The Watchman said he didn't comprehend why writers write stories assuming another season. That truth can be applied to many government officials. From Eric Adams city of yes, to Nancy Pelosi's affordable care act elected officials in modernity love policies that extend beyond their time in office. The fiscal question of value to the economic corner, is the financial wisdom in policy that assumes government officials in the future will support the policy as intended or at all. I argue policy with fiscal actions beyond a time of office is one hundred percent financially inappropriate. Why? it is a financial gamble. And gambling is…

But that intro though -(if you don't miiiiiind...say it agaaain) That song is about 30 years old. Come on @ProfD...

We won't even get into the genius work of George Clinton and The Parlaiment, The Commodores, and Marvin. These kids aren't even singing anymore. They're letting "autotunes" and AI generate the sounds for them.

...excerpted from an article about the Golden Globes Awards. "Cynthia Erivo has made Golden Globes history, becoming the first Black woman nominated twice in the lead actress (musical) category. Her second nomination comes for her role in Wicked: For Good, where she stars alongside Ariana Grande. Known for her powerful performances, Erivo’s career continues to break barriers, cementing her place as one of the most talented actors of her generation. The nomination is a significant moment for representation in Hollywood, as it highlights how far Black women have come in the entertainment industry, while underscoring the long road still ahead to ensure diverse vo…

Avid Trumper Amber Rose believes white people should be able to say N-word "White people should be able to say n***a," Rose said point-blank. However, Rose expanded upon her controversial take. She reasoned that if white people were allowed to say the word, it would lessen its dark history and impact. "Because when you really stop giving a f*** about stupid, dumbass words, we'll stop killing each other," she argued." Avid Trumper Amber Rose believes white people should be able to say N-word See!

I've been locked out of the discussion baords for about a week. I noticed that the window that displays the URL would show the IP address, instead of "aalbc.com". It was one of those things that I said I would get around to fixing when I got a chance (that get aroun to list is very long and is constantly reprioritized). I then noticed that google was indexing the site and showing the IP address which no one would recognize as AALBC.com.

There's a rumor that in Asian and Jewish homes, any grade less than an A means that changes will have to be made. In White homes, anything less than a B means that changes will be made. Unfortunately, in Black homes, as long as you pass, everything is okay. The future of te Black race lies in the hands of White female teachers and single-parent mothers. Why does parent involvement in school decline as the child grows older? Every boy needs a male role model. You can't be what you have not seen. Boys will be what they see. The teacher has your son for 180 days. You have your son for a minimum of 18 years. Many fatherless boys are aggressive and possess a derogatory at…

The debut of Caitlyn, alter-ego of female wanna-be, and former Olympic champion Bruce Jenner, is the trending topic on social media. The Internet is all a-twitter either praising or panning Caitlyn’s flipping of the gender script. For daring to share with the world her angst about being a woman trapped in a man's body, "Bruclyn" has become the anathema of the Religious Right, the poster child for the LGBT community and an enigma for ex-wife Kris Kardashian. But, since “she” had the money to remedy this mix-up via plastic surgery and hormones, she has earned the honor of appearing on the cover of Vanity Fair, flaunting her new identity, all glamorous and feminine, skill…

The following title summarizes a comment left on an article about the City Sun, a defunct Black-owned newspaper from Brooklyn NY. "The City Sun was a racial toilet. It spewed anti-Semitic, Jew-hating, anti-Asian, anti-White bigotry. It was a racial cesspool of black bigotry which showed why black Americans in the ghetto can never make it: their leaders and informations sources are The Klan with a Tan."

After reviewing so many of the novels that are written I've come to the conclusion that there is some sort of mass psychological desire for illicit and "nasty" sexual activity in this society. Especially among a lot of women. Not just regular sex, but illicit and what may be deemed as socially unacceptable sex seem to be the MOST desired among some. I'm trying to figure out the psychology behind why so much sexual activity in this society revolves around "sneaking around"? What is is about lying and "cheating" that turns so many people on? Is "honest fucking" just plain boring to most? Not to me. But I'm not the most attractive man in the world so…
