Culture, Race & Economy

After talking to numerous Black people who identify as Conservatives and many more who don't and a few who...like myself...identify as Progressive; I've come to the conclusion that over 95% of all AfroAmericans share the same values and aren't given to one extreme or another like Caucasians tend to be. Despite our political labels, most of us either share the SAME values or aren't actively opposed to those we may not personally share. I'm a Progressive, but I do NOT support excessive regulations, demonizing the rich, or the transgender movement (although I do support homo-bi-sexual rights) and most Black people I know share the same views although they don't identif…

I have recently been trying to qualify time. I have chosen times both for myself, friends and clients. So far the results have been good. I have found ways of describing time and then commencing activities at specific point in time to capture and utilise the energy of time. I have been able to describe the following qualities and use them: acceptance through openness; acceptance through understanding; efficiency one was internal the other was external; optimism. The other cool thing is that the experiment is also making me more introspective. They can be the starting times for meditations or the beginning of an activity. They can change from one se…

************************************************************** Will Smith is a player who says that he and his wife, Jada Pinkett, do not practice monogamy. Marriage for us can't be a prison IMO the state of the Black family is bad enough without these two promoting their adulterous swingers lifestyle.

The first artist had committed suicide before I became a fan. The second artist I actually saw perform live and I inadvertently insulted her. The writer hung himself. The performer died of an overdose of loneliness called drugs.

Update Jacob Blake August 23, 2020 It’s been just over a year. On the one hand, I am elated that this young man did not die! I am so happy to know that he is getting medical attention, can stand up and possibly walk again due to the physical therapy and other medical attention he has been given. But on the other hand, it hurts to know that he has had to go through this ordeal all because of charges that began with a domestic dispute and other related charges. I call this kind of American justice a continual need of ‘Policing the Reformed Slave Yard’, Policing the DOS-Slaves from Black-on-Black rage’. This seems to be our American fate…

In a recent conversation started by a guest poster, @Pioneer1 chose provide a detailed response, because he did not want to waste time with someone who would likely never respond. Pioneer's reaction got me thinking. Plenty of people actually create accounts, but the vast majority of these folks never participate. I appreciate some of the new accounts many be spammers (and I ban some of these straight away it they look super suspicious), but there are still plenty, like most of the ones shown below, who have recently signed up, but never post. I've been trying to figure out why. There are thousand of people who have signed for these forums. A c…

In the book of Leviticus chapter twenty verse 6, God commands the children of Israel not to go after familiar spirits. The Hebrew definition of a familiar spirit is a wizard, a one who practices sorcery. One of the spells that a familiar spirit cast is to mix truth with falsehood. African slaves who were brought to America, the Caribbean and their descendants have been victims of familiar spirits. The “Slave Bible”, was a familiar spirit manifested in the physical form. A sinister plot was put into motion by the publishers of the ‘”Slave Bible” to carefully remove certain chapters from the bible while others remained, thus giving the illusion that the “Slave Bible” was o…

A lot of this is based off of state Representatives Ed Vaughn and Henry Stallings opinions back in the '90s. It increases black representation demographically and politically. The more people who are considered black, the more unified the support of what is left of such causes like as equals rights, affirmative action, and voting rights since they are under attack by the Supreme Court and state Republican legislators across the country. Many pro civil rights figures in the past have been light skinned such as State Representative Adam Clayton Powell Jr and Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. Walter White,…

The Second: Race and Guns in a Fatally Unequal America by Carol Anderson From the seventeenth century, when it was encoded into law that the enslaved could not own, carry, or use a firearm whatsoever, until today, with measures to expand and curtail gun ownership aimed disproportionately at the African American population, the right to bear arms has been consistently used as a weapon to keep African Americans powerless—revealing that armed or unarmed, Blackness, it would seem, is the threat that must be neutralized and punished.

What the general public is unaware of and needs to come to terms with is that there is no room for information which cannot be proven in the world of historical research. History is a science. And for those who conduct historical research seriously and treat it as a science, gather historical documents, news articles, journals, court cases, diaries, letters, and reference sources all of which their conclusions are based. It is this method which I used for determining the character of Christopher Columbus and charging him with crimes against the Indian people of the West Indies. This article is the product of records which will clearly point out, that from the very beginni…

Who would ever think that people in Lake Tahoe and California would be devastated by the raging fires that seem to be unstoppable? It is reported that at least 15,000 fire fighters are working day and night to extinguish the deadly Caldor fire. There is no question that these brave fire fighters must have gas mask to protect themselves from smoke inhalation. But how many people know including these fire fighters that a Black inventor invented the gas mask which operates according to the same principles as the gas mask use today. This inventor's name is Garrett Morgan. He invented the gas mask during his day it was known as a smoke helmet to fight fires. The purpose of t…

If you no longer had delusions would you also lack hope?

For starters: I'm Black American... My grandfather's grandma was an Ashkenazi Jewish woman from Lithuania. I started an ancestry journey and discovered this after so many people kept asking me, "What are you?" for the longest time. The question always threw me off because I never identified and saw myself as anything other than Black. But even in NYC, where diversity is nothing new...people would question my origins. At first I just thought it was because I have wavy hair. But when people began pointing out other things like my bone structure, undertones of my skin, etc. I was like OK maybe there is something in my family's past that I don't know …

I have to admit Nicki Minaj has a point here. The media insatiable design to create "news" out of nothing has them trolling the internet to create News stories. The fact that Joy Ann Reid has been used to publicly diss another Black woman is disheartening at best. I actually read a few of Minaj's tweets. She wrote she will get the vaccine, as she has to tour. She also wrote that she did not discourage others from getting vaccinated. While I may Minaj's with her reasoning for not yet getting the vaccine herself. I know many people who have the same opinion. The difference is the people are not slamming them on TV for it. Celebrity does have a price. …

Now You can guess the skin color of the people and social economic status of the people exempt from the rules Facebook imposes on the rest of us. Why Black people (any people really) continue to willingly provide free content to enrich Facebook AND subject themselves to this is beyond me: Mark Zuckerberg has publicly said Facebook allows its more than nearly three billion users to speak on equal footing with the elites of politics, culture and journalism, and that its standards of behavior apply to everyone, no matter their status or fame.

THE ISRAELITES-- Song by Desmond Dekker and the Aces-- I heard this song a few weeks ago on a dvd I bought for one dollar from a local Dollar Tree store. I loved the movie, it was awesome. And this song was at the beginning of the movie. At first, I did not understand the lyrics at all, but it just stuck in my mind and I found myself listening to it over and over again. The film was a UK film called "Made in Daghenam" and it's based on a true story set at the time this song became very popular. I loved that movie so much, I have watched over and over again! Finally after hearing that song at the beginning of the movie, I finall…

Every since the end of the Civil War/Reconstruction, political parties have always have had to make the choice between egalitarian interests(civil rights) and states rights (exclusive rights). This is something that both Democrats and Republicans have always been aware of this at different points in their history. Today, the Democratic Party is the progressive pro equal rights party. But, this has not always been the case. From Andrew Jackson to Woodrow Wilson, the Democrats were pro states rights, pro slavery, pro Civil War, and pro Jim Crow. From Reconstruction to 1960's Civil Rights Movement most Southerners voted Democrat because they blamed the Re…

In addition to me being proudly African-American, my great grandmother was Indigenous Sami - she was one of the many Sami people who fled Scandinavia to escape the genocide that was occurring at the hands of White oppressors who infiltrated their lands. Many people can tell that I'm "mixed with something", but don't know who the Sami are. lol It's kind of a random mixture/heritage - considering most people in America are a mix of White/Black and maybe a little Native American. So when you say "Sami", you really have to explain the history and educate people each time. lol. But it's kinda cool because they always seem intrigued by the story since it's completely new to the…

There seems to be no functional relationship or cooperation on sustained basis between different communities of black people in the United States in the struggle against racism: African Americans, Africans, and Afro-Caribbeans. The initiative in the quest for solidarity among these groups seems to come from us, African Americans, although black people from Africa and from the Caribbean who come to the United States as immigrants and as students face the same problems we do as victims of racism. Solidarity with Africans on our part was demonstrated during the struggle against apartheid when African-Americans mobilized forces across the United State…
