Black Excellence-- UCLA Gymnast Get Viral Attention & Much More Nia Dennis Like most superb athletes at the level that Nia Dennis achieved, she also wanted to make to the Olympics, however, that dream was deferred I believe due to injuries. Nevertheless, awhile back, two of her floor routines received viral attention and much more. Her routines were dedicated to Black culture and because she executed her gymnastic skills so brilliantly, she received a lot of media attention from many celebrities and was invited to appear on many popular talk shows. She even received comments from former First Lady Michelle Obama. She dedicated music in her routines to…

Since when did Conspiracy Theory become a "right wing" thing? For the past several years now and especially the past several months, the mainstream media has been conflating those who believe in conspiracies and those who question the "official" version of things with Trump Supporter and right-winger. It seems as if they are trying to make both camps synonymous. Even when it comes to the vax. They seem to be ignoring the millions of Blk people who are suspicious of the vax and suggest that the ONLY people who are rejecting it are Trump supporters. Minister Farrakhan and many others have warned Blk America about conspiracies for decades going back into the 60…

Causality is magical for the primitive, whereas for the modern it rational. That being said my belief system is more aligned with pre technological world view. So even though I have been culturally educated\endoctrinated as a modern. The central place in my belief system is occupied by sympathetic magic.

The mainstream media is really going crazy over the crime surge in the United States these past year or so. If they aren't pointing at Chicago, then they're pointing at Houston, Baltimore, and dozens of other hotspots all over the nation. Violent crime has been off the chain in many urban areas and it's really surging in suburban and rural areas but the violence there get's much less attention from the mainstream media because most of the victims and perpetrators are Caucasian. However when discussing violent crime, the media really just gives you a brief and relatively uninformative flash of what actually happens when violence occurs in most urban areas so you us…

Hello, I recently joined this site. My name is Rae, I am very interested in communicating and interacting with everyone. I thank the site admin and developers for allowing me to be a part of your forum.

While I disliked the film Us, one thing I did like about it was the presentation of a straight up dark-skinned Black family. No obviously mixed Black people, no swirling couples. But seemingly, the vast majority of couples where Black people are involved are mixed race -- usually a Black woman with a white guy. I'm not sure if I'm just more sensitive to this when I see it and it has an out sized impression on me or if it is indeed true. I mentioned to a friend recently who dismissed my comment when I brought up the issue, but then we observed, together, exactly what I meant and she was forced to agree. Of course I have no problem wi…

We live in a culture increasingly defined by ideas biased, and elevated, by algorithms designed by young white men to enrich themselves. This creates the false impression that the ideas which rise to the top of our social media feeds must be superior to ideas undiscoverable or unexpressed, on social media. Older media platforms reinforce this notion by trolling social media feeds for "news" to cover. Then working harder to elevation their social media presence than their own platforms. When a Kanye West expresses his political views it makes national news, while the thoughtful perspectives of the few remaining seasoned pollical journalists, who wr…

Facebook recently banned a little old lady and that reminded me of the regular emails I get from Facebook rejecting innocuous books that I've place on their site. Below are a few examples. This is not to say Facebook should not ban things, but it seems to me when it comes to Black things (people and books in this case) that their algorithm is pretty aggressive against us. Algorithms created by young white boys are inherently racist. I've mention many times how Google's algorithm coupled with their monopoly on search has distorted our images, killed Black websites, and severely hampered this one for several years. This will only get …

The arguments in the Black community have already started. One side says Cosby was a victim of racism who should have never been incarcerated in the first place and the women were just trying to grab a bag from him The other side says Cosby was a rapist who should have been punished for his crimes a long time ago and LATE justice is better than NO justice. Back and forth...back and forth. Issues like this illustrate the importance of CRITICAL THINKING. Just being one dimensional and seeing things only in Black and White is one of the reasons the AfroAmerican community ends up further divided...especially when it …

RACE....ETHNICITY....NATIONALITY....what's the difference? The entire RACE/ETHNICITY concept really isn't that complicated. The problem is people have been so miseducated about race, ethnicity, and nationality not only in the United States but around the world that it's hard for them to abandon the false concepts and ideas told to them by their teachers, parents, and other authority figures and decide to think for themselves so they hold on to falsehood and this leads to increased confusion. Well I decided to think for myself and do my OWN classifying based on my own observations and reasoning and this is what I came up with. It's not very scientific, but I c…

I just refreshed my list of the top Black Owned Websites, a list I maintain on huria.org. In another conversation on this forum, a visitor wrote that the number one website, currently Worldstarhiphop.com,"...is for the children." In reality, the website is designed for adults, and is currently the #1 Black owned website. I rank websites based upon Alexa rankings, an admittedly imperfect metric, but is all I have and is better than nothing. Worldstarhiphop.com is essentially a gossip site that posts embrassing vidoes of celebtrities, public brawls and the like. The founder Lee "Q" O'Denat, the founder of Worldstarhiphop.com. WSHH has been voted the "top hip hop …

Neely Fuller Jr. has said for years that it's against the anti-racist code to argue or criticize the religious beliefs of other Black people because it leads to more confusion and division, but I often engage in it anyway because I like debating religion and history. It's like a person who eats food out of boredom. You know it's not very healthy but you do it anyway because it gives you something to do and feels good...lol Well, it's the same when it comes to debating religion and history.... When there's nothing else to talk about and you enjoy the challenge and social interaction that comes from opposite exchanges....debating religion provides an excellen…

Have you experienced and do you think it is possible?

For several months now the internet and media has been buzzing about the Critical Race Theory and even more focus has been places on the arguments happening in school board meetings and townhalls all over the nation. Some say it should be taught, others say it shouldn't. I'm not exactly sure what it is and when I've asked those who support and promote it's teaching to give me a clear solid definition of it they can't. Instead they give me examples of subjects that may be taught IN Critical Race Theory, or they may give me one of CRT's objectives. But no definite clear definition OF it. Not even Merriam Webster's online dictionary offers a definition of it! …

And this person also looks mixed themselves? What category would you say they fall into?

I recently got a 24 hour suspension because I commented in response to Biden Tulsa speech was that “the only thing Biden knew about Black Wall St was how to exploit ignorant Blacks.” This was considered hate speech. Are we rapidly reaching the point where on mainstream Social Media Platforms that if you don’t tow the party line you will be punished. Btw the bottom quote was in response to the question what do you think these children are being taught about Blacks. There was a picture of two white children with two black children in cages.

Last night I had the pleasure of watching the new Bill Withers Documentary. Afterwards Bill Withers answered questions. If you like Bill's music you like it even more as you discover more about the man. The movie reveals a lot; how Bill only he started performing professional in his 30's, how he suffered from stuttering until his late 20's, it was really quite fascinating.

Who will you commemorate on Memorial Day? Who will you commemorate on Memorial Day? One hundred years ago on May 31, 1921, the federal government of the United States allowed the state of Oklahoma, including the National Guard, local police, political officials and vigilantes to destroy the Greenwood District in the city of Tulsa. Recently, several survivors from that massacre spoke before congress recalling their experience as children and the need for justice. Those who spoke included Ms. Viola Fletcher, age 107, Mother Lessie Benningfield Randle, age 106, and Mr. Hughes Van Ellis, age 100, a WW II veteran and the brother of Ms. Fletcher. This weekend, t…

Hi! I have never posted here..so let me say hello first.🤗. I have come across a few things these last couple of weeks. Things that have bothered me and I am usually, how can I say, pretty patient? I live in IN so the ridiculousness of a certain group of people is frequent in this state. That does not make it right by any means. I am just saying I exercise a lot of patience. I read a lot. I have found some things that have made me very uncomfortable, or pissed off is probably the word that describes it better. First, has anyone ever read Native Son? It’s an old book about a young Black man written by Richard Wright. I read this book recently. I wanted to d…

I wanted to get an honest option on this highly debated topic. It's it culturally insensitive for white people to wear dreadlocks? I'm white and I wore dreadlocks for 5 years when I was in my 20's. My dreads were started by a black woman, and when I moved a black man started working on my dreads. I never felt any negative vibes, I always felt very welcome and comfortable in the black community with my hair. I was wanting to bring back my beloved dreads, but my sister insists that white people can't have dreads and that I will offend people. I've tried to look up the topic and it seems very divided. I don't want to be disrespectful, bu…

There are a variety of reasons but one has to do with the nature of the conversations. I was on Lipstick Alley a few moments ago reading a comment posted in a thread I'm following. One of the trending conversation is shown below. The post tickled me because it was so absurdly shallow. There was a time which I was guaranteed to get a laugh visiting these forums, but this was years ago now. I'm not saying forums must post silly shit, like the comment below, to garner participation, but fun has to be mixed in with the seriousness. But alas you need a critical mass of participants in order to generate the humor ---- I'm attr…

Post a question and I will attempt to answer it using astrology. However no psychic spying.

. Lately I have been reading about time. It seems to be a hard thing to describe. I have also been thinking about the quality of time. Although we mostly think about time as quantities. It is paradoxical because it is the only resource we have at our disposal, yet we can neither accumulate it nor save it. And we trade it for money, fun and everything else.

How common is it? These are some of my family/ancestors from back in the day.

I had a conversation with someone the other day, in which they explained to me why they were not getting vaccinated. It was a well articulated argument and the person who made it put a lot of thought into it. They believe that DMX and Hank Aaron, for example, were killed by the vaccine. I know, It sounds crazy but the person is not crazy, at least not as one would expect from a clinical diagnosis. the person is just “differently informed” with alternative facts. They are backed with scientific evidence, which main stream media is hiding from us, so that pharmaceutical companies who are the major sponsors of the media can make even more money. …

The human history has always been about society being structured with rulers and workers. There may be a few exceptions to this rule but they aren't significant. You have some people who want to live like kings and they will subjugate others to achieve this goal. So whether it's a king or a drug dealer, they will profit of if the perceived or created poverty of others. Whether it's the chief king medicine man they all want to maintain their position. Are society is organised so that position is maintained. This is seen in various ways. The witch doctor, the lawyer, the tradesman, the artisan are positions that are not open nor are they democratical…

@Chevdove We talked race relations and I told you that it seemed to me that races get along much better in Canada than in the U.S. and there are many opinions why, but most AfroAmericans who've spent time in both nations have come to this very same conclusion. This is a recent interaction between 3 different races: Black civilians Asian civilians and Caucasian police. Now I want you to pay attention to what you SEE and what you DON'T SEE..............

Piggy backing off of the discussion we're having over the popularity of social media among our people............ Growing up I wasn't considered very attractive and thus wasn't very popular with the girls OR with other boys (for reasons having little to do with looks). Fortunately girls weren't AS concerned with looks as boys are so there are other attributes males can develop to offset what they're lacking in looks. But I spent long periods of time wondering why I wasn't "coolest" or "cutest" boy in school with all of the friends. I didn't notice it as a kid, all I saw were the BENEFITS of being very popular. But when I got older and into my 2…
