"The African Renaissance is the concept that African people and nations shall overcome the current challenges confronting the continent and achieve cultural, scientific, and economic renewal." Wikipedia The African Renaissance concept was first articulated by Cheikh Anta Diop in a series of essays beginning in 1946, which are collected in his book Towards the African Renaissance: Essays in Culture and Development, 1946-1960. This concept seems to be in full force with the emergence of African authors and projects as The Kindness of Enemies by Leila Abouela (Grove Atlantic), The Happy Marriabe by Tahar Ben Jelloun (Translated byAndre' Naffis-Sahely- Melvill…

INSPIRATION . . . Inspiration to Better Health My Inspiration: Allyson Felix It amazes me when I watch her run and sometimes I think back to the time when Flo Jo was the champion and this young lady was only about three (3) years old at the time! And, she wasn’t even born when, in 1985 the East German relay team set a record that she and her teammates broke in 2012. In fact, Allyson was born about a month later. IMO, she doesn’t even look like she would be a sprinter! And then when I was reading her biography, I saw this statement, LOL: I don't have a sprinter's…

How do you define democracy? In political science courses we tend to say: Democracy is the never-ending struggle to create, maintain and enhance: * People Power *Group Equality *Individual Liberty Democracy is designed to place social and political power into the hands of otherwise divisive and chaos prone humankind. Democracy is the noble effort at government "by the people" and "for the people", while mitigating our human inclination for DRAMA. What's your understanding? Can you see why some governments (in dealing with humankind) would choose to be authoritarian or totalitarian?

I dunno, but either this guy is a genius or nuts. The Oxford Union proves a tremendous platform for his to express his theories. In the past Oxford Union hosted Brothers like Jimmy Baldwin and Malcolm X.

Sometimes when I'm driving down the street and listening to Hiphop...especially old school Hiphop artists like Ice Cube, LL Cool J, Pete Rock And CL Smooth, ect....I have to marvel and shake my head at the creativity and wisdom involved in coming up with the lyrics they rhyme. Not just the lyrics but the flow. When you sit down and think about it, you have to say there's a Divine Spark in some of these brothers that allow them to not only come up with the words but to put them together in such a captivating and entertaining way. It's just a shame that it's often used negatively. Nobody can tell me that that same Creativity can't be used to build buildi…

If the Democrats want to win...Biden has gotta go. He needs to drop out the race or they need to invoke the 25th Amendment and get him out. And they don't have too much time to do it. As for his replacement........ Harris is a MAYBE but I'm not sure if she is trusted enough to gain the popular support needed to defeat Trump. Michelle Obama....on the other hand...does. I think she's more trustworthy, less likely to play games with the GOP, and on top of that is SLEEPING WITH one of the best political advisor you could offer....lol. The cherry on top is that she's an FBA sista from the hood of Chicago. Unlike her husband or Kamala, sh…

Recently acquitted NYC subway killer will be one of POTUS OJ'S invited guests at the Army-Navy football game today. Like Zimmerman and Rittenhouse before him, Penny will be paraded as a hero and he will become well off financially for putting in work as a race soldier.😎

Many think the above expression is a trite cliche or an empty phrase. But I've always found it to be totally adequate because, in and of itself, it stands alone, unchallenged; language at its best, reality captured in pure and simple words, the essence of its message existing between the lines, reminiscent of the old adage about "one picture being worth a thousand words". An esoteric echo, "it is what it is" is what it is: a profound utterance that translates into the ultimate truth. See ya... 😉 Mother's Day 2025

Being a 23 year old black man splitting my 23 years btween a city that has a strong African American influence ( St. Louis) and another city that despite the growing number of African American the culture is weak and seems to lack roots (Phoenix), I have learned one main thing about black women and women of other races, most black women do not know there roles. Hear me out, the reason for the growing number of black men looking to marry outside of there race is do to the fact the a growing number of black men a being educated and finding out what they want in life and in women. No matter what anyone says about the white race, thewomen in it know there roles and stic…

The fascinating thing about this short video, from my perspective, is that if it were not for me running AALBC.com and if I were still working for some Wall Street firm I would have been largely unaware of these issues. Now that I'm struggling to keep this business afloat, pay for my kid's college educations, and maintain a home, I am much more sensitive to all of these issues particularly the media operates while the government watches. TV as we know it will go away on its own. Like an increasing number of people I rarely watch it. I consume the vast majority of my content via Youtube. Where, at least for now, one can find alternative content that mass me…

Once Roger Taney, Supreme Court Justice, issued the order in Dred Scott that brothas had no rights that a white man was obligated to respect, his baby brother Octavius immediately passed the Forced Removal Act which was designed to deport all the free black men out of the country. White men in high places went to work and in a spirit of goodwill, gave blacks the option to get missing voluntarily or they would be forcibly removed. To appear humane to the rest of the world, whites disguised their emigration efforts as colonization efforts making it seem as though blacks were going back to Africa on their own and were not being coerced into leaving. This way, it could be pa…

Statistics clearly show that Blacks commit about 60% of all violent crime in America despite them being 14% of the population. Why is this? No family structure and a community that condones young girls having babies. Other minorities that come to this country without money and without speaking our language still surpass blacks. Its amazing !!!! Maybe black women need to find a moral compass and black men have to stop committing violent crime and serious drug offenses?? I think so ! Lets stop making excuses and start acting like mature adults. By the way, using some big words doesnt do anything either. We need to take personal responsibility. Lets stop blaming w…

KUSA-TV in Colorado reports: The Tattered Cover bookstore chain has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, three years after the iconic local business was sold to an investment group, and plans to close three of its stores over the next two weeks. The bankruptcy filing on Monday said Tattered Cover owes its creditors, numbering in the hundreds, between $1 million and $10 million. The company listed its assets in the same broad range. Why do I care? Well, I always considered the Tatter Cover a great indie store. I visited two of the chains, one as recently as 2021. The stores were just a great space for book lovers.…

His freaky bizness will be put out in the street though. He might have a harder time picking up dates once he's acquitted. 😁😎

Hi, it's Kola Boof. What a wonderful new set up you all have here. In the next few days, I intend to post my new videos at least.

This should be their campaign slogan: You don't like the shape the country's in? The Republicans did it! If you want more, vote for them! They should hammer that in over and over. They should say it in reply to every question put to them. Unless they totally demonize them they don't stand a chance. I don't think they have the balls for it.

Don't know if you are familiar with the books of Max Brooks, but I like how he used "zombie" . Some readers consider it humor and perhaps even more consider it sci-fi. lol I don't know which planet the people from either aforementioned group are living on. The end was near. Zombies were taking over. They were infiltrating every corner the world. No neutral ground existed, no nation was secure, and we were in serious danger of becoming extinct - overrun by hordes of the living dead. . Brooks at Rutgers: The movie for World War Z was supposed to come out this year, but I think that it is now scheduled to come out in 2013.

MySpace did a complete reboot. There are no ads, the content scroll sideways. Which might work well on a mobile device that swipes, but is a pain with a mouse (but mice and a keyboard going away anyway right?). I have no cue how to add content yet, but it look like the site is mainly for musicians. For what is is worth here is my URL https://new.myspace.com/aalbc let me know if you figure out what to do when you get there :-)

If nothing else, the social media is an equal opportunity venue. Take FaceBook, for instance. Anyone can traverse the lanes of the internet highway. Even old folks. The great lure of this network is the channels it provides to people from your past. I recently crossed paths with an old pal from the Post Office. We’d been fairly good friends during the many years ago when we worked together. In the hive of intrigue that characterized most postal work places, he had been an interesting character, just one of the many predators, cruising the aisles and offices and break rooms looking for fresh meat to inspect. He was 10 years younger than me and at that time, this ag…

This was a young white male who shot up a Black church. This mass murder has been labeled a "hate crime." There are many people who believe white folks are gearing up and initiating a race war. There are others who believe Christians are under assault and are being persecuted. #BlackTwitter is a blaze with jokes: "I'm not afraid of Al-Qaeda, I'm afraid of Al-Cracka" Needless to say it is a horrific event.

...and maybe amerika and all of its turmoil, is just a piece of shit crawling with maggots.

With Democrats like the Clintons, the Obamas, Joe Biden, Robert DeNiro, Eric Holder, Maxine Waters, the ex-CIA Director along with CNN all being recipients of mailed bombs, Trump has mounted his soap box and blamed the media for these threats to his enemies. He has totally absolved himself from any responsibility for the example he sets with the incendiary comments he posts on Twitter, - with whom he has a symbiotic relationship. All the Liberal pundits are warning that attacking The Press is a classic tactic of fascist dictators but 45 continues to scapegoat the media, all the while using Fox News to spread his unsubstantiated "facts". So, who is to blame for this Catc…

“Barack Obama Didn’t Do a Darn Thing For Black People.” —Dr. Claud Anderson Cornel West expressed this sentiment throughout Obama’s Presidency despite aggressively campaigning for Obama. Black folks vilified West for his unrelenting critique of Obama. I wonder how history will record Obama's presidency vis-a-vis Black Americans. You can watch the complete interview here.

My afro. My black, collection of many curling and coiling hairs. It is thick and stubborn af. It defies gravity and reaches for the sun. I love it and I believe it loves me. I love wearing it natural because it makes me feel unencumbered. But I didn't always love my hair. In fact I couldn't wait to finish high school so I could load it with chemicals and straighten it. I despised my hair because it was called any and everything but beautiful.... wait what? Are you thinking my hair was demeaned by white folks? Nah. It was black folks. My mother was the loudest. My hair was compared to goat shit! I did grow to love myself and my hair. But the maturit…

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…

JASMIN GUY, A Different World, on The Breakfast Club This showed up on my channel a few weeks ago. I loved this sitcom! And, I wondered what happened to it. I did not keep up with it back in the 90s because I was too busy with my family, however, it's nice to hear now, from Jasmine and Kadeem, and hear their assessment. This is a brief video of the interview, but it was actually much longer. In the longer video too, both Jasmine and Kadeem mentioned that, even though the sitcom was based around HBCU's however, they did not go to any! I found that to be 'head scratching!" I think that if they had actually enrolled and went to one, it would be a…
