U.S. Building up Military Presence Against China?--Is This Because of Ukraine, China, Taiwan or What!? U.S. Building up military presence in western Pacific

Well, here's a link to the serialized book I've been babbling about for the past few days. The first chapter awaits. They say one picture is worth a thousand words but after taking a look at the cover, you might want to get the juicy details about whether blondes really do have more fun - or do they pale in comparison to a golden girl primed to cure a brotha of jungle fever... http://www.achapteramonth.com/

The 'Race' Card By Karen Hatter The majority of people of African descent, living in America, do not have the luxury of compartmentalizing our collective experience here in America, beginning with forced immigration, enslavement, Jim Crow, the Black Codes and after slavery, in modern times, the long list of inequalities and abuses that have been brought down upon our heads as a result of who we are and our past relationship to those in stewardship, of non African descent, in America, when we express our feelings, beliefs and concerns over our past and for our as yet to be known futures in America. Many Americans find it difficult and it makes them uneasy to …

A supposedly mentally ill Black man kills a young Ukrainian woman on a public transit train in North Carolina. It was caught on video. Immediately, white folks are outraged. The DOJ is already moving towards a death penalty charge. However, when a white mass shooter kills a few childen and other folks, whites don't have the same energy to severely punish their own bult immediately want to talk about doing more for mental health. White folks don't even talk about gun control when it comes to their own regardless of how many people get killed. White folks only see murder as a problem when Black men are killing them. …

I happened to come across an archive video of brother Malik Shabazz (formerly "Malcolm X") giving a press conference about what the L.A.P.D. did to some fellow NOI brothers at their temple back in 1962. His intelligence and articulation is absolutely remarkable and exceptional. This is the type of intelligence and aggression against White racism that is missing through out so much of our community today.

This is actually old news, as the Defender killed its printed newspaper in July of 2019. I just learned about it last week. I try to maintain a list of Black owned newspapers. The Chicago Defender, founded in 1905, was perhaps the most prominent Black newspaper in the country (to bad The Defender, was not a beneficiary of Google's largess)

Now just...take a LOOK at this gloss-lipped Negro on here praising Donald Trump: He can BARELY read from the teleprompter ! You do seriously think he need to be in a Senate seat representing a U.S. state????? He needs to take some of that money and open up a hot dog or pizza restaurant chain and enjoy the rest of his retirement...lol

Both of these countries are nuclear powers, and they're trading blows right now as we speak. Is World War 3 about to break out? Even though neither nation is technically "white", anything that threatens major and massive destruction on a global scale is a potential threat to White racist hegemony because of it's destablizing effects on the global economy and infrastructure. You KNOW it's serious because earlier this morning the war was on every media outlet. India hit Pakistan with missiles and airstrikes and Pakistan shot down several Indian fighter jets. That was this morning. Now a hot war between two nuclear powers is 5th or 6th down the story lin…

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…

In my new status as a divorcee from the black race, it's a relief to be excused from plowing through the bumper crop of "what black folks need to do" farmers. In an economy of opinions, talk is cheap. Yada, yada. Here's my 2 cents. A couple of the many factors that contribute to this country's chaotic state of affairs are: Misinformation. (false or inaccurate information. ) and Cognitive dissonance("when people hold a core belief that is very strong and when, they are presented with evidence that works against that belief, the new evidence cannot be accepted so they will rationalize, ignore, or even deny anything that doesn't fit with the core belief." Franz Fanon) …

Is it possible to be content if you don't have delusions? Or are delusions and hope intimately intermingled? My recent experiences say that they are interwoven.

(Note: Would anyone happen to have a violin? You can almost hear the snobs and feel the tears and snot dripping from the screen.) "Path to National Suicide" Pat Buchanan 2007 "At what point, then, is the approach of danger to be expected? "I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide." So said Abe Lincoln to the Young Men's Lyceum in Springfield. Observing the Senate last week, and looking over the latest figures from the Census Bureau, America is now risking national sui…

How could we know until we understand consciousness?

One of my friends’ friends made a comment,…

Happen to catch these very clear videos of an interview allegedly done by NWA in London England, back in the day. (1990) I say "allegedly" because the videos are so remarkably clear that they look recent, as if it could be AI. Despite the callousness and often vulgar language, their responses are pretty quick and often witty. They show a level of maturity and none of them are fighting with eachother over who speaks or who gets to answer which question. There seems to be a "vibe" among them.

I just watched 6 seasons of The Chi it took me about 6 weeks to get through it. A friend recommended it to me, and she expressed an interest in my opinion. I found it interesting enough to get through it but on a scale of 1 to 10 id give it a 6. You really had to suspend disbelieve to get all the plot lines and the overlapping characters. @Pioneer1's post about Smoking Weed was what made me think about The Chi. Smoking weed was such a big part of the series -- almost everyone smoked weed constantly. They were smoking it, growing it, selling it and killing over it. It was a major character of the series. Another big part of the serie…

T’Challa v Killmonger Good v Evil But who’s who? T’Challa, as king, is fated with protecting Wakanda, the land he rules. It’s customs, its peoples and most important, its resources primarily vibranium. This resource is the most powerful metal on the planet and as a result has transformed the kingdom he inherited into the most advanced technological civilization known to man. He’s ruler of the most dominant nation on earth albeit secretively as part of his protective plan is to keep this resource entirely within his nation. Killmonger, through events, is a native to Wakanda and feels that its his birth nation’s duty to utilize this po…

Each person’s destiny is not a matter of chance; it’s a matter of choice. It’s determined by what we say, what we do, and whom we trust.” Quite a powerful message. I stopped to eat at a restaurant and sat by the window so I could watch the people passing by on the street. There were literally hundreds of people milling around and waiting in line. Amid all the confusion and traffic, a delivery man was pushing a cart stacked high with boxes. He was trying to navigate the cart delicately through all the crowds of people dashing by. No one took much time to notice him. As he pushed the cart down a slight curb, four of the boxes toppled over onto the street.…

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…

This is something I've never been clear about,Troy. When authors go on Thumper's Corner and request book reviews, what happens next? Are they accommodated with a review and do such reviews automatically appear in AALBC's monthly newsletter? Also, you have said that pictures can be uploaded into a post. But I see no search engine for doing this.. How is it done? Also, as a courtesy, why don't you use the "Edit" feature once you post what I assume are responses you key in a hurry or from your iPhone? This would eliminate the distractions of typos. And are opinion pieces that appear on this site copyrighted by AALBC? MEOOOOOOW.

Listen to the MADNESS coming out of this dude's mouth and how he giggles and wiggles around like a disturbed little child while talking...... Now keep in mind that Daylyt was a MARRIED man when he said all of this and as the interview progressed it becomes fairly obvious that he is NOT gay. But the question is what would make an adult straight man even MAKE a statement like this, even in jest? He was clearly provoked into it by Vlad......a Ukrainian born Caucasian who has gotten rich off of interviewing and exploiting AfroAmerican Hiphop artists. But the real question is why Daylyt and other AfroAmerican artists are so…

Chris Rock’s comment about white people’s day creates an angry buzz The Examiner Marci Stone Friday, comedian Chris Rock experienced quite a bit of backlash after his “white people’s day” comment on July 4th; Rock, who thought he was being funny tweeted a joke to followers, but his comment has stirred controversy. Chris Rock’s tweet: “Happy white peoples independence day the slaves weren’t free but I’m sure they enjoyed fireworks” Rock is a former “Saturday Night Live” cast member and this isn’t the first time his comments have been bathed in controversy, and he seems completely unmoved by the comments made about him.

I went to see the Hunger Games this week end with my kid and her father. It was the worst movie I have ever seen in my life. Is it me?

A friend of mine from work keeps trying to get me to go to South Africa on a visit. He talks about how much I'd love it and wouldn't want to come back. He also loves to send me clips of South African women on the beach like this one: South African Sistas On The Beach Although I love MOST Sub-Saharan African women in all of their diversity, I have to admit that the women in see in the videos he sends me do NOT look like typical African women. I don't simply mean how they dress but even how they look physically. The various lighter skin tones. Being fat with big bellies and cellulite (which I don't mind in most cases....just part of an observation) Hair…

Because I can’t keep up with the upkeep, I am giving up the old homestead, and am accepting my oldest daughter’s invitation to move in with her, something that will convenience rather than inconvenience her circumstances. Having resided at my present home for almost 40 years, the prospect of disposing of all of my possessions entails dealing with a lot of logistics as well as emotional baggage. Along with this, strange things have started to happen in connection with my re-locating. I find myself wondering if my persona has imbued my house, and it has become a brick and mortar version of me. Why? Because it’s like the house doesn’t want the physical me to separ…

Yesterday Twitter announced they are permanently banning President Trump's Twitter account. After a "close review," Twitter concluded that 45 violated their, "Glorification of Violence policy." Twitter is full of shit. I don't even follow 45 on Twitter, but the stuff I've seen him Tweet over the years has been just as inflammatory. Twitter more than any other social media platform is responsible for the rise of 45, as they provided the platform to amplify his lies and rhetoric. Just how much more money did Twitter make as a direct result of being 45's megaphone? Billions I'm sure. In order to maximize revenue Twitter has taken hands off approac…

Therefore, please vote on or before Tuesday, November 3, 2020 to help their community thrive. For example here's Michigan's ballot sample - if you notice there are only 3 federal races president, U.S senators and U.S. representatives. The rest of the ballot contains questions relevant to this particular precinct, ward, county and city in Michigan. Also, the referendums aren't written in everyday language so if you're not sure what the vote will mean for your community - check with your local election office. They should have someone who will tell you how your yes or no vote will impact the community. Also if you want to see a sample ballot for your county -visit t…

HAPPY THANKSGIVING Holiday! -- Revisiting Native American History—The Yamasee Chief Se’khu Hadjo This video is amazing! Instead of a focus on the American aspect of the Thanksgiving holiday, however, this video shares some fascinating history about the American Indians. Furthermore, it addresses my passion in research in that thousands of years ago, the Ancient Americas was inhabited by a dominant presence of many ancient people of African descent. Even though the modern term ‘African’ and other terms have been misused to erase true history, nevertheless, these descriptions should not be a problem if us…

Have any of you proponents of Crypt(interesting prefix)-o-currency investing studied the LAWS regarding how it's mined and how any income generated on it must be reported on your taxes? From what I've been told, it's confusing and painstakingly tedious....not to mention the laws around how any income must be reported to the IRS.

I got an email from a large Black-owned business with the subject line: "Buy Black with Amazon: Black is Remarkable" Amazon is so wealthy it is trivial for them to pay to co-opt the very concept of "Buying Black," as long as you are buying from or through them. I replied to the email saying that; as the owner of a Black-Owned bookstore I am sickened by this email and that the principle of "Buying Black" means buying from Black businesses. Now the company that sent the email does not need Amazon to promote Black-owned businesses. They have a large enough of a platform to do it themselves. Of course, each business would make more money …

Another Chicago policeman was shot dead last week, a black, 62-year-old veteran, months away from retirement. Just getting off duty, exiting his brand new Buick in front of his home, he was gunned down by young thugs intending to steal his car. Scared off when he returned gun fire before succumbing to his wounds, the perpetrators who are suspected gang members fled on foot. This is the third Chicago officer murdered in 2 months and, according to authorities, the gangs have moreorless declared war on the police, sending a message that they have no respect for the uniform. Compounding the problem is the “no-snitch” street code which prevents investigators from getti…
