  2. You might be wondering why I am talking about Germanic mythology on an African American platform? In order to understand a system of oppression, one must trace it back to its pagan roots. White people as a whole have always thought that they were better than nonwhites, but peoples and nationalities of blond, blue-eyed, pinkish skinned origin seem to have a superiority complex. Individuals of British, Irish, Scottish, German, Swedish, Dutch, and Norwegian ancestry tend to be more racist than Italian, Greek, French, and Spanish descent. The more …

    I buy paper books. I know many who do. But I think paper based books industry will not include retail sales. I think the future of paper based books is in libraries, or with specific communities with publications that cater to them. Yes, I know examples exists of fiction/magazines/newspapers/perodicals that statistically show financial growth or at least stability. But overall I think the paper based book industry while it will grow will not grow in the direct sales way. Whereas the same books in ebook or audiobook, will grow.

    Started by Guest John tornow legend,

    JOHN TORNOW: VILLAIN OR VICTIM? is a historical novel of the "Wildman of the Wynooche," who was alleged to have killed six people, starting with his 19-year-old twin nephews, William and John Bauer in 1911. The suspicion was laid to Tornow and it touched off a 19-month manhunt, the longest in Pacific Northwest history, before he was killed in a firefight on April 16, 1913. This story attempts to unveil as much of the truth as we know, based on 28 years of research, talking to descendants of neighbors, friends and relatives of the Tornow family.

My prose The question in the title was asked by someone and I thought to myself, that is not a functional question. Teaching history should be taught wherever it can be. But, a functional question is, what is the goal of education to the masses? I rephrase the question, are black people right to think education gives access to a power more potent than the sword? At the end of the day, usa history proves that money or education aren't really important long term. what is important is who is willing to kill to get what they want or…

    Many Black Trump supporters, particularly the ones who aren’t famous or super rich, are usually seething inside. They're lacking something socially or emotionally and their false belief they are superior to other Blacks does not fill this void. This is why so many lack empathy for Blacks who are abused, experience misfortunes or are poor. They tend to devalue the misery of those in need. What remains unfathomable to me is how so many blithely ignore Donald Trump’s racism. I blame cognitive dissonance for this. And it occurs in Black Trump supporters because they want to desperately believe he is a successful business man, incredibly moral and smart and supportin…

    If one knows anything about Donald Trump, it’s that he cannot stand Blacks in power positions. He spent eight years attacking President Barack H. Obama as an illegal alien, a Muslim and a failed Chief Executive. Which is a laugh when Obama is widely lauded around the globe as the man who saved the flailing U.S. economy from a Depression. The fact is that Obama is still widely respected around the world while Trump is derided as little more than a would-be dictator. So, I am not surprised that all these investigations are finally getting to Trump. He is understandably nervous. So, what does this twice impeached former President do? He promises that if he gets bac…

Sacred numbers played a major role in Mesopotamian civilisations; Sumerian mathematics developed in the context of number-mysticism; and so it is tempting to see some kind o freligious or mystical basis for the sexagesimal system. Sumerian mathematics, like astrology, cannot be disentangled from numerology, with which it has reciprocal relations.
