This has always true, but the web has made it far worse. A new poster to this forum with the counterintuitive moniker @Wide awake shared an inflammatory video (below). Wide awake has been bombarding the site with a deluge of racist and antisemitic memes and content. "Wide" shared so much content it was impossible to consume it all, let alone address it. One such obviously untrue meme stated a Black man was the first to own a slave in America, suggesting that this Black man single handedly started slavery in America. When I pointed out how the meme could not possibly be true Wide Wake accused me of cherry picking and ignoring the great number of…

A counselor who understands proverbs soon sets difficult matters aright. Anyone love proverbs? Please feel free to share some. :-) "Wretched is he who injures a poor man." "Baseness may obtain riches, yet crime never lands it wares on the shore. In the end only Maat lasts." "Do not be proud and arrogant with your knowledge. Consult and converse with the ignorant and the wise, for the limits of art are not reached. No artist ever possesses that perfection to which he should aspire. Good speech is more hidden than greenstone (emeralds), yet it is may be found among maids at the grindstones.." "It is better to pay for medicine than to pay for a funer…

I pasted the quote in the title of this post from the opening line of the video (below). George E. Johnson, founder of Afro Sheen, was at one time the richest Black man in America. His memoir came out a month ago, but I only learned about the book today. The video is quaint, but endearing, nonetheless. Afro Sheen: How I Revolutionized an Industry with the Golden Rule, from Soul Train to Wall Street by George E. Johnson

After reviewing so many of the novels that are written I've come to the conclusion that there is some sort of mass psychological desire for illicit and "nasty" sexual activity in this society. Especially among a lot of women. Not just regular sex, but illicit and what may be deemed as socially unacceptable sex seem to be the MOST desired among some. I'm trying to figure out the psychology behind why so much sexual activity in this society revolves around "sneaking around"? What is is about lying and "cheating" that turns so many people on? Is "honest fucking" just plain boring to most? Not to me. But I'm not the most attractive man in the world so…

The following message was sent by a friend, via text. I won’t be watching the state of the union. I never watch the state of the union. I don’t need a peptalk and Trump’s case I don’t feel like listening to a load of BS. I wonder if Elon Musk is going to give the speech or will it be President Trump? Roland Martin’s below message: On Tuesday, March 4th, we are going to present THE STATE OF OUR UNION. We will go live at 7pm Eastern (which is 6pm Central) and will go to midnight or 1am. We will break this up into 30-minute blocks. We will have Congressional Black Caucus members, civil rights activists, voting rights advocates, labor leader…

Let's call it for what it is..... Nigeria got pimp slapped. Nigeria claiming to "ok" this strike or even "ask" for it is just an effort to save face because in reality there wasn't much they could have done to stop it anyway. It's like that DJ Pooh in Friday trying to save face with Deebo by not asking for his bike back.......... He didn't ask for it back because he was AFRAID to. He knew Deebo would only give it back IF he wanted to and WHEN he wanted to and there wasn't shit he could do about it. He knew Deebo could easily beat his ass...lol. His ignorant ass father either didn't know or didn't understand this and tried to FORCE the boy to "stand …

I want to help more Black People prepare themselves for the Metaverse. No the MetaVerse isn’t Meta ( Facebook). There are actually different Metaverse. But one characteristic that most them share is that use crypto currency. Crytocurrencies are things like Bitcoin, Apecoin and Sand. New ones are popping up daily. For this post I want to introduce three ways to acquire, store and send crypto. CashApp Cash App (formerly Square Cash) is a mobile payment service developed by Block, Inc., that allows users to transfer money to one another (for a 1.5% fee for immediate transfer) using a mobile-phone app. The service is available only in Un…

I usually block/mute bots in black face on twitter because they are easy to spot. They are easy to spot on AALBC too because they spew the same rhetoric as the " the greys" trying to claim supremacy. Unfortunately there are so few of us that participate in these discussions, I feel like we're playing a game of whack a mole when they pop up. 🙄 Anyway, this is an oldie but goodie report from Black Enterprise on the rise of blackface bots

POTUS OJ signed an Executive Order (EO) to place federal employees working in DEI offices on leave immediately. The administration has given agencies a couple months to determine how they are going to strip DEI programs. The administration also wants DEI removed from websites. They are also encouraging private businesses and organizations to do the same. Granted, it will be very easy to place DEI under EEO (Equal Employment Opportunity) with Human Resources departments. Like Affirmation Action, EEO has been around for decades. Removing the acronym DEI from the public discourse is a flex by the administration to satisfy their…

A simple question , you can relate it to any law enforcement agency. I only repeat what law enforcement agencies need is someone to say they are needed while also corrupt. The problem with law enforcement agencies is too many wish to make them out to be honor guards or mythical comraderies when they are simply havens for mostly bullies or reared wrong or financially proud in the worst sense people who serve a necessary function when they are not killing, maiming, spitting, clubbing, violating, cheating, stealing.. or all the other many crimes or illegalities or negatives they are free from being penalized from including not incarcerating or giving testimony to other …

AALBC.com’s mission is to help promote and uplift independent websites created by, and for, people of African descent. To that end, I’ve been researching the “best” Black owned websites. Interestingly, many of the ones I through l were Black owned; The Root, Very Smart Brothas, etc; are not. I'm also seeing sites that, based upon publicly available data, have a lot less traffic than I thought. Sites in this category include, Awesomely Luvvie and Your Black World. As a result, I actually don't have very many sites that I'm working with to compile a best of list. Can you all take a look at my list and let me know if I’m missing any popular Black o…

The loss of advertisers, or reduction in spending by advertisers with facebook, could seriously harm our business; Growth in use of facebook through our mobile products, where we do not currently display ads, as a substitute for use on personal computers may negatively affect …

Ain't Yall Whaddup Yo Double Negatives ( like "Ain't Nobobdy") These words have been called "slang" and "improper English" for decades and they have been marginalized from what is considered standard or correct English. Well, perhaps it's time for this to change. Perhaps it's time that the words we commonly use but are considered "Black English" become part of Standard American English! Who made the decision to keep them out anyway? Most of us use the words "ain't" and "yall", so why the hell AIN'T they considered standard or correct??? Typical American English wasn't considered correct and STILL isn't considered correc…

There are literally mass shootings every day in our Black communities. Blacks murdering other Blacks. Its absolutely insane ! No one wants to talk about it even though everyone knows its happening. My god, Chicago alone has about 30 shootings in just one weekend and Im not including this weekend. Im not going to even mention baltimore, detroit, NYC, new orleans, memphis, philadelphia, and other black area’s. This doesnt include violent home invasions, armed robberies, car jackings, and other violent crimes. The common denomonator is that almost every single suspect in these violent crimes are Black males and even Black females. Many are BLM supporters but wh…

I would like to know if Pres. Trump is so concerned about protecting American citizens from terrorism than why doesn't he concentrate on domestic terrorism and homegrown terrorist here in the U.S. And get some of these guns off the street especially the assault rifles. The muslims got nothing to do with that.I think the travel ban is stupid and I don't think he knows what he is doing. He may not make a good Commander in Chief either.

I have never visited 45's Twitter page before 2 minutes ago. There was not need to mainstream and social media shovel 45's tweets as if the were in a race to be the first to share his BS. 7 minutes ago 45 tweeted the following: I was on the New York Times website, while reading a completely unrelated article about the Supreme Court's decision which changes the rules of the collection of sales tax by online retailers. Inside the article the Times included a tweet by Trump applauding the decision (which tells me this must be a bad decision for business like mine).
