"For those African Americans who have less than a college education, the loss of manufacturing jobs seriously undermines their opportunities for employment. Researchers John Bound and Richard Freeman contend that "up to half of the huge employment declines for less-educated blacks might be explained by industrial shifts away from manufacturing toward other sectors."" https://academic.udayton.edu/race/04needs/economic06.htm - - - "Economic Globalization and the Future of Black America" https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0021934706290981?journalCode=jbsa - - - "Effects of NAFTA 2.0 and Other Low-Road Approaches to Trade on Black Commu…

The Democrats are about to get their backsides waxed in this year's midterm elections. Several mistakes are to blame and most are unforced errors. 1) Too many Black people remain ignorant of what Critical Race Theory actually is. It's not Black History, although many well-meaning Black folks claim that it is. And sadly, they cling to this errant view on social media. But Critical Race Theory is NOT Black History, which is a collection of truths and facts. Theories are simply suppositions. I will maintain that CRT is taught only at the university level not in grade, intermediate or any high schools. The problem lies in that few have come up with a ONE S…

Time and time again, black America falls for the Democrat party dupe every four-year election cycle without missing a beat, and it still hasn't learned its lesson. NO, the script has never flipped and neither the Republican, Independent, Green or other parties (not mentioned here) have supplanted its violent history or taken its place. Generally speaking, blacks drink the Kool-Aid religiously, Jim Jones-Guyana style, succumbing to the rush of old and phony promises made by failing black leadership, big government, corporate America; big tech, pharma, finance, banking, and the list goes on and on and on. Will black America ever come to its senses and peel back the onion to…

Biden administration admits it will be giving huge sums to unlawful border crossers but none to Black Folks. Once again it demonstrates Democrats despise Black Americans. It’s sad that has been the case since before the Civil War.

I am not talking about gentrified areas and even then on average, black people dont get offered much for their homes. In general, when I look up homes in the Black community, most of the homes cap at 300 to 350k. Does anyone know why?

A Reflection Paula Patton On Why She Doesn't Identify As Biracial - Cane referenced a 2010 quote from the actress, "I find [the term] biracial offensive.

IMO, the dearth of intellectually heavy television and theatrical productions that (can and / or would) showcase and highlight the true and potentially enormous cerebral capacity and economic and social depth of the black community at large, only serves to perpetuate the adverse black-focused stereotype(s) of crime, sexualization, drugs, guns and worse, that are constantly promoted by the mainstream media, big tech, and other select(ed) segments of corporate America.

In the land of the free and the home of the brave... This is the only country where the "majority"(White People) can own, have, and control and still not be satisfied. Anytime someone black does anything amazing; "someone that does not look like us"(white people) studies what we did, replicate it, and the monetize it and then becomes a millionaire or billionaire off of our "one thing". Thus, the power of one... Now, when that one thing doesn't go their way "they" (white people)become really petty and petulant acting as if the world is about to end. Let me give you a few examples of "power of one moments". On October 3, 1995 Orenthal Jam…

From time to time I review the queries that drive traffic to the website. Once such query is for the term "PAWG." I was unfamiliar with the term and searched for it until I found my my site (an earlier version of Thumper's Corner) where I found this conversation: Black men do you ignore PAWGS? Cynique, I'd actually forgotten how wild y'all used to get I miss those days...before the corporate take over of the net. Can you image a conversation like that on, say, Facebook today? Assuming you got past the sensors and the prudes, it is still technically impossible because of the restrictions on what people are permitted to do social media. There is so much le…

When I use the term "black," I am referring to both the Australoid and African peoples. I think that some people who belong to other racial categories have a visible black admixture. According to anthropologists, there are two "black" races of people who look almost exactly alike but are not related. The first is the African or Negroid race which consists of all Sub-Saharan black people. Then there is the Australoid race which includes Australian aboriginals, Southeast Asian Negritos, and South Pacific Melanesians. But, both groups share phenotypical similarities of very…

I don't have an answer to this question. But the frustration that I feel is immense. I've looked to civilian review boards, elected officials, community activists etc. I was referred to a podcast. The lead host is a former police officer. I don't know if the dialogue on their site is helpful but it gave me some insight.

Looks like an AfroAmerican young lady has thrown her hat into the ring: https://www.mlive.com/public-interest/2021/10/trump-endorsed-kristina-karamo-leads-fundraising-among-republican-sos-candidates-but-trails-benson.html She's already been endorsed by the former POTUS. I doubt that she will become Michigan Secretary of State. But, I'd imagine the GOP will find a landing spot for her if she stays the course. 😎

She is Black and 1/16th Indian (from her great great grandpa), and refers to herself as "Blindian". Would you consider her mixed race?

I just discovered the Smithsonian Anthology of Hip-Hop in my local library yesterday. I was previously unaware of it -- it is almost as if the publishers did not want to make it well known. The book does not have an ISBN (as far as I can tell) and I can not find it in distribution. Of course Amazon and B&N have copies -- don't ask me how they got them. I broke my own rule and linked to Amazon to by the book 😞 The book comes with 9 CD (do people still use CDs?) that includes 129 rap songs. I created a playlist (below) of all the songs on YouTube. I was very familiar with most of them, but 2 or 3 I never heard before. They were rappers from Memphis a…

The Juice is on the loose as a free man. As a 74 year old, I doubt OJ can still run fast. He probably doesn't want any more drama. So, I hope he will be allowed to live the remainder of his life free of hassle. It would be something if OJ and Bill Cosby teamed up to do a comedic buddy movie. 😁😎

Day 1-Summers’ End-New Year & HALLOWEEN- It’s NOT Solar but A Lunar Based Holiday When I asked students to choose whether a popular symbol for Halloween would be either the sun or the moon, the unanimous answer has always been ‘THE MOON’. At times the CRESCENT MOON becomes associated with Halloween but mostly it would be a FULL MOON: For many, Halloween becomes a favorite holiday, however, many Christians refer to this holiday as a Harvest Festival. But what has never been taught in my Church education or in the secular curriculum as well would be the scientific truth about Halloween. Because of the Separat…
