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…

WTF!? I was reviewing a newly created page on my cell phone. Google inserted this advertisement for the “manscaped” product. In my book, any time you have to preface a product with the word “man” then it’s not really a product made for men. This banner ad makes that completely obvious. Why am I being served this ad? Have I been spending too much time promoting books by gay writers on this site? It is a dumb ad.

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…

Yesterday I created this meme in reaction to a WP article @Delano shared covering the rates at which people are killed by police. I shared it on the platforms below and here is the engagement; Facebook (zero engagement no comments, likes, or shares), Instagram (I through I posted it yesterday), Pinterest (I have not checked), Twitter (zero engagement no comments, likes, or shares), and Lipstick Alley (20 comments in less than an hour) Now the comparison is not equal because the meme has, as of the time I'm writing this, has been on Lipstick alley for less than 60 minutes and on the social media platforms it has b…

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…

interesting enough, everything that I find (researched) is that far more whites (41%) are killed by police each year compared to blacks(17%) however, far more blacks are arrested! Please tell me why our news reporters, political leaders and so many others are hell bent on portraying this to be just the opposite and lead others to believe that blacks are somehow being targeted and oppressed by our society??? Please do your research before you comment on this. Please!!

The Bible is the book written by our black ancestors, became lost, found by Europeans, and who returned it to us. Read more at the Black History Knowledge site Many sub-Sahara Africans, are the twelve tribes of Israel in exile. The Hebrews are not lost. The Bible makes it abundantly clear they are in sub-Sahara Africa. Consider the following verse. "From beyond the rivers of Cush My worshipers, My scattered people will bring Me an offering." Zephaniah 3:10 So there you have it. The Israelites are in the Land of Cush, which is sub-Sahara Africa. They fled there when Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonians destroyed ancient Israel 3000 years ago. This mean…

After years of careful observation of the interactions of our people (actually people of color in general) with Caucasians -I've come to the conclusion that most of our people don't know the difference between KNOWLEDGE and INFORMATION. And because they don't know the difference, they think they have "facts" and "knowledge" when all they really have is speculation, conjecture, and false information. They are victims of the greatest tool the system called "White Supremacy" uses to maintain it's power: CONFUSION. They are CONFUSED about what is true and not true because they don't know or understand the difference between KNOWLEDGE and mere INFORMATI…

@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..............

For the progress of all. The N-word is a banned word in the US and Canada as far as I know for the historical reason of slavery and abuse of a group of people based on their physical appearance (Race) by another group of people. So, this word is emotionally charged negatively. Now, it is a racist word for some (the slave masters' descendants) and not for the other (the slaves' descendants). I think there is a problem with that too. A word should not be racist for one group and not be for the other. Not all African-Americans agree with the use of the N-word in public by anyone. The use of the N-word by a Caucasian descent is a hate crime, but Caucasian listen to Rap m…

FRIDAY13-BLACKDEATHPLAGUE & Now Covid19- Intelligent Design? Stela of Nakhtmin So, the American government has made it law in that the Theory of Evolution be taught in our educational system. Even though Evolution has never been observed by any human eye, somehow law makers have published that it can be safely taught as truth. On the other hand, however, the subject of 'Intelligent Design' has been outlawed. Part of the legal jargon that outlaws intelligent Design would be of its connection to religion and therefore an infringement on the human rights of non-believers of Creationism. So the question that follows …

White Girl Black Girl Exploits —Stereotyping Although this past experience may not seem to have a dramatic effect when it comes to race relations and prejudices, however, for some reason, it seems to have a lingering affect for me. Because of this particular time in my life years ago, I still ponder the question sometimes of whether it would be wrong or right to believe in stereotypes and how does this correlate to racist beliefs or preconceived notions. This question revolves around a brief friendship I made with a past co-worker, a White girl named Bethany and how we interacted at work and with others. And based upon some of what I observed, I also …

As a former special education teacher in South Carolina public schools, I know first hand the trials of young Black males deemed Emotionally Disabled and placed in special education classrooms. I remember the pain I felt seeing these promising young men struggle to be heard. Very few educators recognized their cry for justice and respect in an educational system that almost dismissed them as insignificant. I encouraged my students to use wisdom. Yes, your voice should be heard and can be heard! The methods you use and the time you choose is crucial! I wonder now how these young men are doing. Statistics say most of them will be imprisoned and/or live in poverty all their…

For the past couple days, when I log on to the internet my start up screen that gives you the news and headlines of what is supposedly "happening" around the world has been FLOODED with racist anti-Black propaganda. Out of the dozens of "news" stories posted, nearly half of them featured AfroAmericans in a NEGATIVE aspect as their main attraction! The top ones were: -Lil Nas X and his Satan worshipping video -Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B doing some sort of lesbian performance at an awards show -2 teenaged Black girls who allegedly tried to carjack a Pakistani man. -Some Black dude in a pink shirt who went around assaulting Asians -Rowdy Black …

Hey @Pioneer1 I decided to ban Magnetic. There were a variety of red flags. I printed out and read one of the 3,000+ word posts. Despite the misleading subject line dealing with Cleveland transportation the post was laden with conspiracy theories including anti-Covid-19 vaccination, contrails, and illuminati stuff. Posting this however is not enough for me to ban someone. I randomly pulled a couple of sentences and found that they were copied verbatim from the Scientific American. This whole ideal of wrapping conspiracy theories with text from reputable sources points to a clear intent to deceive. The tactic however was so clumsy that I figured…

All over the internet a lot of AfroAmericans in the conscious community are claiming that a 21 year old "beat" Roland Martin in an interview and clowned him on his own show. I decided to check the interview out and judge for myself who out-did who. Here's the interview that so many people are talking about: While King Randall is a very intelligent and ambitious young man who I think has a bright future, his youth and inexperience with the world shows in this interview. Roland does indeed "school" the young brother on the importance of voting and politics in general in my opinion.

... or is YT Just Better at Getting Around It? I've maintained a mailing list about as long as I've run this website, pushing 25 years. To this day, my mailing list remains one of the best ways of reaching my audience, as it not subject to the whims of algorithms created by white boys in silicon valley -- or so I thought. I'm hearing a lot of complaints from other Brothers and Sisters who tell me that their emails are increasingly ending up in spam folders. Just yesterday an important email from a organization I've been working with for 15 years was diverted to my spam folder. Meanwhile, obvious spam from white business, I've never communicated …

I think this film is worth watching. Maybe more of us will consider deleting our social media accounts... We tweet, we like, and we share— but what are the consequences of our growing dependence on social media? As digital platforms increasingly become a lifeline to stay connected, Silicon Valley insiders reveal how social media is reprogramming civilization by exposing what’s hiding on the other side of your screen. The world has long recognized the positive applications of social media, from its role in empowering protesters to speak out against oppression during the Arab Spring uprisings almost a decade ago, to serving an inst…

Looks like my girl Candy O is back at it again! Fox News guest Candace Owens claims Meghan isn’t Black enough to be a victim of racism During an appearance on Fox News, conservative activist Candace Owens said that Meghan Markle is not Black enough to have been a victim of racism. In an interview on Sean Hannity’s show on Wednesday night, Ms Owens, who is Black, gave her opinion on a number of the talking points from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s interview with Oprah Winfrey. Ms Owens called Ms Markle a “typical leftist narcissist” and said that she had seen the “t…

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…

Slave Catchers, Slave Resisters is a two-hour History Channel documentary that depicts the system of slave policing—enforced by militia, armed community slave patrols, paid slave catchers, and federal law. The stories are set in both the South and the North, from the mid-1700’s colonial era through the end of the Civil War and its aftermath, and told through archival material, scholar interviews and recreations. While the stories show the brutality of the slave system, they also reveal another, often-overlooked side of the history—the strength and ingenuity of the enslaved. As historian Peter Wood observes, “Would they [the enslaved] go willingly i…

For a long time, I've wondered where other Black business owners of all levels look for collaboration and talent. One thing I know for sure about most is that talent is to hard to find that matches where the business is at its current state and where it is trying to go. In addition there is a level of distrust that still exists among the Black community that I have experienced as a talent and setting out on my own. There is no designated platform as of yet like a linkedin or indeed of sorts for us to come together. Given the social, economic, and environmental shift I am interested in co-working and collaborating with black businesses and creating …

I've noticed a recent pattern in colleges: increasing numbers of non-Black professors as experts in Black studies (African, Diaspora, American). And I personally question my feelings about it. In some ways, I find myself suspect of institutions that may feel more progressive for what could be described as "color-blind" selections. I've voiced similar concerns over book and media publishing. Awards, opportunities, and acknowledgement have often, in my observation, gone to white makers of Black culture (your favorite white rapper and such) or Black makers established with a white publisher. So, my question: How important is the idea of "own voice…

I'm a black man in Dallas, Tx in where alot of Mexicans and White people have been buying all these black people and my family to target me because I've been speaking out on the hypocrisy of their racist antics. We have alot of poor people in the black race which isn't no surprise, so these Mexicans and White people prey on that by coming around throwing money at people and their families to get them to turn on them. You wouldn't think in these times of social injustice that something like that can happen, but they're making them offers that they can't refuse and they can't see past that... They have their uneducated street flunkies, church members, public servants, handi…
