It is inconceivable that someone of Trump’s limitations would be in the position he is today. Unfortunately, here we are. Since 2008 and Obama’s improbable victory and subsequent second term in 2012, the privileged class and its political establishment has sought to delegitimize the Obama Presidency. Beginning with the clandestine Republican meeting within days of his inauguration, Mitch McConnell, Senate Republican Leader, declared it’s primary legislation objective was to obstruct the Obama administration’s agenda. It is no coincidence that the first black president has faced such extraordinary vitriolic resistance, e.g. Tea Party, Congress, “you lie” during State of th…

I used to believe conversations were less interesting if there was widespread agreement. There can be Discussion where the aim is not persuasion. I have also tried understanding and accepting someone's position wholly. It changes the dynamic from adversarial to cooperative.

A lot of lies, wishful thinking, and confusion has been promoted through out our community but especially the past few years with so many "internet scholars" claiming Black Americans are everybody from the "true Jews" to the " true Native Americans". I'm no scholar but I've done decades of research on race, religion, nationality, as well as psychology and how people are manipulated through their base desires. I'm gonna lay out some facts in a simple way and compare it to the prevailing ignorance as a contrast to highlight it and make it more clear. WHAT is a "Hebrew"? The word "Hebrew" is an English mis-translation of the original word "Iboo" If …

I define black americans in this post as black people from canada to argentina whose forebears were mostly enslaved in the usa from the 1500s to 1800s. Very specific so no not, black people from africa or asia as free immigrants today. Now I realize i am very late with this question. But I know that the black populaces of guyana/suriname/french guiana/brazil/venezuela/ecuador all have carnavals. And the black populace of north america has mardi gras. The black communities in haiti/martinique/trinidad all have carnavals. so, while the black american populace has internal difference in language[english , french , portuguese]/religion[traditional/catholic/protes…

The subject involving the names black parents bestow on their children generated quite a debate here, and it wasn’t long before I landed in the midst of it, peripatetic gadabout that I am. I’ve tried to adopt a tolerant approach to life, - one that reflects a "live-and-let-live" attitude, but people who assert, stir up my assertiveness. So, fresh from my literary excursion through a book about the esoteric realm of Masonic symbolism, I cast aside the ethereal veil which had enthralled me, donned my cynical game-face, and jumped into the clash. As usual, the subject split out and went off on different tangents. Before long, arguments in favor of made-up names merged w…

While agonizing over a fast reply I wanted to retrieve and correct, I wistfully scanned over it and clicked on the space where the omission occurred, highlighting it, and - voila! Suddenly at the bottom on the post, the "edit" option miraculously appeared. I was then able to make the revision and re-post the corrected text. Talk about serendipity! Hope this wasn't a fluke. I will now use this procedure to see if I can create a smiley face. Aha! it worked. Aren't you glad you don't have to endure my bitchin about this any more, Troy!!

After listening to politicians talking so fondly about the Confederacy for a week I decided create a video to express how I felt about it. http://DTPollard.com

Where is Xeon? There is such a paucity of posters on the board, we couldn't afford to lose one of our main men! But Xeon has gone missing! Although we agreed to disagree from time to time, Xeon, I appreciated your well-articulated views. Did you desert us for another site? I feel slighted. Where else can you pick a better fight than here? I'm getting rusty. I don't have anyone to argue with. Chrishayden has deserted me for Troy. carey-carey has apparently retreated into the never-never land of non-sequitors, undoubtedly commiserating with a downcast ABM, glum because he is "sans" a "myriad" of booties to salivate over - which further reminds me; what ever happened …

Attorney Ben Crump has a new Book coming out in October, called, Open Season, so I'm building content about him for the site. I discovered this video as it related to a shooting here in Florida in which a white man shot a young Brother over parking in a space reserved for the handicapped. The Brother was killed. That situation is sickening enough but if you listen to the entire video you'll hear how Megyn segues from the unjustified killing of an unarmed Black man to her dog that recently died. She broke down in tears. I was listening to the video and I was like WFT is going on?! I "disliked" the video and closed the browser tab as I could not s…

Yesterday, brotha Tariq Nasheed hosted the Rally4Reparations at Freedom Plaza here in Washington, DC. The guest speakers were Dr. Ma'at, Afro Elite, Dr. Randy Short, Gregg Marcel Dixon, Vicki Dillard, Dave Anderson, Black Alpha and Rizza Islam. All of the speakers were on point. Big Daddy Kane rocked the crowd on the Hip-Hop tip. The event was well attended despite that it was hot outside.😁 It was great to see families and so many young people out there too. I know it's a heavy lift but I hope that FBA/ADOS folks will keep pushing for reparations.😎

Photograph: Jacob Wire/EPA An ageing group of former Mau Mau insurgents will launch legal action in the UK next week accusing the British army and colonial authorities of torturing or illegally killing thousands of Kenyans during the independence rebellion 50 years ago. Lawyers acting for the Mau Mau veterans say they will serve the Foreign Office with a notice of intent to seek compensation for human rights abuses involving a group of about 10 Kenyans in what is being seen as a test case. Those involved have given accounts of rape, systematic and prolonge…

The 2024 GOP field of dreamers is shrinking fast. Several folks have already dropped out of the race leaving former POTUS Orange Julius Nikki Space Cadet Haley and Gov. Ron DeStupid. Former POTUS is running away with the nomination but that's not stopping other folks from throwing away millions of dollars in a losing effort. The race for the White House will come down to two septuagenarians in November 2024: D8mn shame the most powerful country on the planet will be led by an old dude who may be wearing a diaper. 😁😎

Well, although I take my ginko biloba faithfully, and work crossword puzzles and read books and engage in other activites to stimulate my mind, some things just elude my comprehension. I have a memory like a elephant, with just an occasion senior moment when I can’t immediately call to mind somebody’s name, but when looking for coherence, there are just some things that I can’t wrap my mind around. I faithfully stuck with Ishmael Reed's marathon commentary posted by Chrishayden and just when I thought I was gleaning the point Reed was trying to make, he would do a flip-flop, contradicting himself before lapsing into irrelevant anecdotes and parenthetical asides giv…

I am getting ready to write ✍🏾 a letter to my Congress people in support of Judge Jackson are there any points I should highlight? #ConfirmJudgeJackson

Do you know the circumstances? Convicted of the murder of a state trooper in 1973, Joanne Chesimard was sentenced to life in prison; no parole. She escaped in 1979, fled to Cuba and has lived there in exile ever since. But first, who was Ms. Chesimard? Born during Jim Crow (having to witness overt segregation, separate but ‘equal’ laws, the disparity in wages, earnings gaps between whites and blacks, having to live in government formed dilapidated ghettos, etc.), she grew up destined to be a part of the Black Liberation Movement of the Sixties (She was choice-ed with non-violence but deciding to not not fight back if someone spits in her face was too mu…

http://blackagendareport.com/content/not-voting-obama-were-not-even-buying-voting-ticket-show Not voting for Obama: We’re not even buying a voting ticket to the show by Ezili Danto I speak my heart and mind on this. In 2008, Ezili’s HLLN supported a vote for Obama, not because we entirely believed the Obama fairytale (See, The America I Know, 2008.) We supported a vote for Obama in 2008 for both pragmatic and idealistic reasons. But more so because eight years of Bush and the application of the Wall Street deregulation excesses left over from Bill Clinton and others had reached a crescendo point that was shockingly, brutally horrible and demoralizing for t…

I just sat down to watch some YouTube videos while eat my dinner and decided to watch the NBC nightly news. Now I never watch local or national news broadcast, but the flooding in Houston piqued my interest. 90 seconds in I can tell why so many Americans are stressed out. The lead in to the new program was ominous -- disaster, followed by calamity, followed by tragedy -- it was too much! I was actually shocked! Who subjects themselves to this "news" everday? Man has not to evolved to deal with a lifetime of bad news in 60 second period. Is everyone just numb to it? I watched something else.

There must be a whole bunch of giggling taking place around the world. Even though House Speaker Kevin McCarthy promised that his caucus members would avoid playing childish games during President Joe Biden's State of the Union Speech - they did anyway. MAGA Republicans showed the world just how stupid, immature and psychotic they actually are. Why? Because they knew they could get away with it and they knew their antics would play really well back home. So, to all the Black people who voted for Trump and still lean to the Right because you think solely of your income and how much better you are than those who are poor - this is what you want to be associ…

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…

Listening to the Audiobook Shame, it made we wonder if African Americans could avoid the countries culture war by recognizing that like the America Revolution we participated but didn’t have a vested interest in the same way as others.

Today we read: A Florida sheriff said he will deputize lawful gun owners if protests turn violent (CNN)A Florida sheriff issued a strongly-worded warning to anyone who may be considering violently protesting in his county, saying he would "deputize" the county's lawful gun owners for help. "If you threaten to come to Clay County and think for one second that we'll bend our backs for you, you're sadly mistaken," Clay County Sheriff Darryl Daniels said in a video message posted on Facebook. https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/02/us/florida-sheriff-deputize-gun-owners-trnd/index.html …

I have to raise a Black Power fist to @Lee Vining for hipping me to ex-enslaved Black folks who left the South to settle in Colorado and formed entire communities! I had no idea of this! I knew we left the Soutn and went west to places like California, Texas and Arizona but cold ass Colorado? Man...I come to find out Black folks ran up into them mountains and TORE THEM UP looking for gold. This is one of the reasons I call myself the "Pioneer". Because I look at those early Black Pioneers who decided to get the hell out of the old corrupt system, travel to a NEW land, and establish their OWN communities as my role models! This is so inspiring …

Now that he is back in power, Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is hoping he can convince President Biden to join an attack on Iran, ostensibly to stop Iran from building a nuke. Haven't we heard Bibi's bullcrap before? For two years, Netanyahu told reporters and correspondents that Saddam Hussein's Iraq was building a nuke. And that Iraq was filled with all sorts of dastardly Weapons of Mass Destruction. But Iraq was NOT building a nuke. And it did not have large stockpiles of WMD's. Because none were ever found. However, insistent Bibi was able to convince the U.S. news media, Right Wing Christians and warmongers in the West of his sincerity by holdi…

I can't believe I'm writing this, but the rationale for the lament I am about to make is that you miss a toothache when it's gone and I miss my "frienemy" Chrishayden! He really did contribute a lot to this board with the strident opinions he laced with ridicule and wit. But who could really hate a fella who hated negroes who hated other negroes especially when the other negroes happened to be negroes he liked. Watta guy! I can't believe Crissy didn't cross over. Maybe he's still trying to access the old board, totally confused as to what happened. He was a very knowledgeable dude but - well, you know, sometimes what was obvious didn't register with him or maybe…

I'M SO HAPPY FOR JUSTIN FIELDS! 🐻

Talk about starting out with a bang and ending up with a whimper! America has unceremoniously pulled out of Iraq after the “shock and awe” of this war was reduced to weariness and futility. With this evacuation, Iraq is now responsible for its own security because the enemy has not been routed and this land is still in danger. Lotsa luck. What did this ambitious mission accomplish? It was a military action that killed thousands of people, laid waste a country, cost billions of dollars, alienated our allies, and polarized America. Did waging battle on foreign soil deter terrorism in the homeland? No. Credit for that goes to the CIA. But the brave troops putting their…

I visited a web site called Shadow and Act. It bills itself as On Media Of The Afican Diasporia - Empahasis On Cinema. It's one of my favorite places to get the real low down on black cinema. http://www.shadowandact.com/ Today they highlighted Tyler Perry's trip to the UK to promote his last film. Janet Jackson went with him. Now, I remember my man Troy say this film was the best he has seen from Mr Perry, and he enjoyed it. Well, I want to tell Troy to turn his underwear back around because this flim was a chick flick with a capital Ceeshy! Look, strip Tyler Perry of that wig and his grandma dress, and there's nothing left. The boy does not p…

Hello All, Sunday night, I saw a documentary called The Pig Bomb. I tried to post a link but it would not work. I decided to watch it, because yawl know I was thinking about food. Well, it turns out that the US could be on a brink of a diaster due to the population and nature of our feral pig population. It seems this pigs are dangerous. They are getting bigger, faster and becoming a lot more aggressive, so much so that they are attacking people, chasing folks down. I'm watching this totally amazed. All I could kept thinking that if my uncles were alive, it would be ON! Hell, all that meat just running around. The problem is that there is no good way of hunti…

Unknown object has entered our solar system.

The film, which open July 21, has already earned $113,360,470 at the box office. It was directed by Malcolm D. Lee, the screenplay was written by Kenya Barris and Tracy Oliver, the film was produced by Will Packer, has 4 Black female leads and more Black people in that I even care to copy and paste. No other Black film with so many Black folk responsible for the production has ever earned more than $100MM, Have you seen it yet? What do you think?
