Yesterday I was visiting a friend and I noticed a Black couple in a movie on his TV and asked him "what movie is that?" He told me the name of the flick which I promptly forgot, because he also said it was on Amazon Prime. I replied, "Well that is one movie I'm not watching, because Amazon is not getting a penny of my money." Generously, the Brother offered me his login, so when I got back home I logged in to see what Prime had to offer. The first thing that popped up was this brand new flick One Night in Miami, A fictionalized account of an evening that Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali), Sam Cooke, Jim Brown, and Malcolm X spent with each other after Clay defeat…

Alright, you asked for it so I'm gonna show you how this article from this so-called "professional" journalist is RIFE with opinion, bias, and conjecture. First here is the article you referenced in it's entirety: Biden details sweeping effort to vaccinate 100m Americans in 100 days | Joe Biden | The Guardian Let's start with the title of the article itself: Biden details sweeping effort to vaccinate 100m Americans in 100 days Why is she describing it as "sweeping"? Just report the FACTS; that Biden is launching an…

The following message was shared with me on a Slack channel (really just a work related social media platform for "professionals") That I'm a member of: I understand that this information was first shared months ago on social media and I believe it has since been widely discredited. But how many people read this information and believed it? How many people were unnecessarily scared and even modified their behavior as a result? How many people brought a gun? How much distrust of white people was generated -- increasing the level of divisiveness in our country? Social media bombards us with misinformation. No one spends time on the NAAC…

The passage of time is a measurement, and time is more than it's measurement. Just as the qualities of space are more detailed than it's expanse. The universe expands in time, since it fills all of space. If you are two meters away from me we are separated by space even though are meeting is in the future. If you are in non local space, the arrow of time doesn't move in one direction. Your mind exists in non local space but local time. Your unconscious also lives in non local space but may also access non local time. Which would explain intuition and some aspects of psi.

A Stolen Election? (Garland Gregory, retired professor of political science, author of “The New Breed Reparations Sanctuary", a novel) A simple analysis shows that the claim of this election being “stolen” is a dishonest representation of the true sentiments of the protesters: 1) The defeated Confederacy (after the Civil War) committed itself to denying voting rights to African Americans no matter what level of intimidation and violence was necessary. 2) Dixie-Democrats of the 1970s began to abandon the Democratic Party because of its official support and interference with southern suppression of African American voting rights. …

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…

Scotland's Sunday Post and a couple of U.K. newspapers have published a news story that reported that Prestwick airport, near Trump’s Turnberry golf course resort, has been told to expect a U.S. military Boeing 757 on January 19th. The aircraft has occasionally been used by Trump, the paper reported. There are two Boeing VC-5 aircraft that are used as Air Force One. But Trump will not be using them for this Scotland trip. The trip will allow Trump to avoid being in D.C. for the presidential inauguration of Joe Biden.

From Garland Gregory ("THE NEW BREED REPARATIONS SANCTUARY) The following is knowledge/understanding taught in the classroom (where media news falls short): Chaos in the Republican Party?: Here Is The Sequence To An Unholy Marriage The 1800's northern slavery abolitionist movement was not well received by the Republican Party. However, southern Democrats seceded out of fear that Lincoln and Republicans would acquiesce. Lincoln and Republicans fought a civil war to save the union, not to free the southern black slaves. Northern Republicans won the war as Lincoln's growing conscience led him to i…

Hello everyone, My name is Joan, I just registered on this site as I was reading the bible and wanted to view a map where Ephesus is located and came across aalbc.com. I am so pleased because I just want to learn and learn about my black history especially when I read the bible as I am a Born Again Believer in Jesus but always want to know of the black presence in the scriptures. For example reading about Troy's piece on Sorghatani - I was blown away as I have always suspected that Chinese, Hungarian, Romanian etc. are black but its never acknowledged as such. Any way please let me know how I can read more material on my black heritage. My parents were born in…

As soon as I got busted for the robbery, I immediately went to work piecing together an alibi since I knew that I had not robbed the place, but let me give you the back story. After getting out of the feds for bank robbery, I got a gig at a Pizza Hut where the wife of my co-defendant on the bank robberies work. I was cool with working and I worked every day, and since I was trying to stack up a lil paper, I worked any time anyone wanted to take a day off. I eagerly filled in. I was still in the federal Halfway House and though I could come and go pretty much as I pleased, I had a 10:00 curfew. During the spring, a white regional manager from VA came down to Ch…

It just may be that after three decades, there is a very slight chance that I may get the chance, at last, to formally address what happened to me on May 18th 1983. It was on that day, a bright, sunny May morning that I stepped off my front porch and it took me over ten years to get back. I was arrested for a crime I didn't commit. Here's the story. At approximately 8:00am on that morning I received a phone from one of my girlfriends, who was in jail. The other one was beside me in bed. The women were best friends and had been even before I had met them. Anyway, the girlfriend within reach, answered the phone and after a brief chit-chat with the girl in jail, I was given …

Heat flushed Natelegé Whaley’s body as she wrote a news article about the shooting by police that killed Breonna Taylor. Ms. Whaley, a journalist, figured she was tired. Then came the mental fog, digestive issues and blurred vision. When these seemingly separate issues snowballed into a panic attack and a trip to the emergency room in late May, Ms. Whaley, 31, who lives in Brooklyn, connected the dots. “I’m writing about the suffering of someone who looks like me,” she said. “We just keep going and going and going and going because we feel like that’s what we must do, and that’s not healthy.” Read the rest at the New York Times. --------------…

@Pioneer1 this is basically the same concept you assert regarding Black people. You say it is because we've adopted a Eurocentric life style. I say it is because we live in a culture dominated by greedy people ... Most of whom are white I suppose. At the end of the day the story is really that we, all Americans, eat too much an move to little. All the stuff about indigenous culture is superfluous window dressing. Just eat well and excerise. They are an attractive duo...

The Christmas Star—Great Conjunction Tonight! —An African American POV The Conjunction of Jupiter & Saturn of December 21, 2020 So, the information reported about this Christmas Star of December 21, 2020, The Great Conjunction, goes hand-in-hand with the age-old Star of Bethlehem shows that have been featured across the modern world during the December Christmas Season for more than 50 years, however, like those shows too, a lot of deception has been reported as well. Here in America, there were only three (3) states that featured these planetarium shows that began to be shown around the 1950s; one in Texas, two in Pennsylvan…

No disrespect to those of you who "somehow" managed to make it through the maze of confusion called "The Western educational system" and achieved prominence, however............ Schools all over the United States...from elementary to university....are shutting down and in some cases closing all together, and I'm GLAD! For the most part the so-called educational system in this society hasn't helped the AfroAmerican community and it has especially been harmful to Black boys, so there is no love lost. Like Trump said, what did WE have to lose anyway?? "Yaaaay! Now I'm qualified to join in and HELP White Supremacy stay in power!…

Major League Baseball on Wednesday, Dec. 16, 2020 recognized the Negro Leagues as a major league and will now count the statistics and records of thousands of Black players as part of the game's storied history. The move officially puts Negro League stats into the record book and gives thousands of Black players the official designation of being major-league baseball players. According to ESPN, Willie Mays will add some hits to his record, Monte Irvin's big league batting average should climb over .300, and Satchel Paige might add nearly 150 victories to his total. Josh Gibson, the greatest of all Negro League sluggers, might just wind up with a major l…

In the 1930’s, the Public Health Service—a US government entity working with the Tuskegee Institute—intentionally injected 399 African-Americans with syphilis. It goes without saying that they infected otherwise healthy African-American males with sexually transmitted diseases without their consent in the name of science. I would say this was a stain on the fabric of the American government, except this was not an outlier. Experimenting on US citizens is something that our government does as a norm. Fast-forward twenty years and the CIA developed a program that utilized LSD, yet again in the name of science. This time around, the US government used American and Canad…

Why One Kentucky Man Joined the 2020 Gun-Buying Boom (SPECTRUM NEWS) "Like Fisher (pictured below), many Americans bought a gun for the first time in 2020, a year that set the record for gun sales when it was only nine months old. By the start of December, Americans had purchased more than 20 million firearms, well ahead of the 2016 record of 16.6 million, according to the firm Small Arms Analytics & Forecastings (SAAF)." 2020 will be a record year in book sales for AALBC. In fact we hit our annual record by July. Why do some people react to the events on 2020 by arming themselves with a weapon and others with knowledge? Humans are a curious…

Buyer’s Remorse A few weeks ago a large portion of Black voters decided that the strategy to oppose both Donald Trump and Joe Biden was not an option for them in the 2020 presidential election. Perhaps, some of them may be experiencing buyer’s remorse. Recently, an audio-recording began to circulate with President-Elect, Joe Biden berating a group of Black people with tone and tenor of an Overseer or Slave Master. In the audio, Biden could be heard banging on something as he spoke. A typical behavior when a person is speaking with a lot of emotions. It was clear that Biden had a lot ofemotions ‘against’ the Blacks in that meeting. He told them, not suggested, t…

6) In the Bible, Hagar is described as Sarah’s Egyptian maidservant; and later, Abraham’s concubine and the mother of Ishmael. Again, some Black people are taking much liberal license by claiming everyone in Egypt was Black. Remember, the Bible identifies Egypt and Ethiopia separately. 7) Asenath, is supposed to be the daughter of an Egyptian priest. Again, no description of this woman is given in the Bible. So, one cannot call her Black. Tirhaka, also known as Taharga, was indeed Black and he did have an army of chariots who came to the aid of Israelite King Hezekiah. The Jewish king had launched a revolt against Assyrian King Sennacherib. But Tirhaka i…

Over the years, I've encountered many individuals who remain curious about who was Black in the Bible. A lot of them spout legends and myths are absolute falsehoods. Some even mention individuals who actually never appear in the Scriptures. So I did research and here are my findings. When compiling this data, I incorporated the claims made on different Websites and by many individuals. I chose to stick with only what I found in the Bible. This way, I would not codify legends, myths and feel good tales. That's how we ended up with a White Jesus. One thing I discovered is that the Bible rarely mentions the skin color of those in the Scriptures. 1) Some believe …

I thought this would be a good thread to post in this category as the killing of black people is all about race. Our book is releasing December 15. It is more of an encyclopedia and not a complete record (unfortunately). It does include over 200 social justice organizations listed, as well as the history of policing in America. It's available on all platforms.

Chapter 2 One of the most intriguing aspects of time is your relationship with it and one of the most amazing discoveries of your lifetime will commence once you understand my next principle: evolvement versus involvement. Take a brief second to digest this: all of your future decisions will be determined by how much information you provide yourself about you to YOU! Again, it cannot be overemphasized that time is the natural context from which you will construct your choices which, by design, keep track of your decisions. Also know for a certainty that bad choices can retard and impede the growth and maturity that are the naturally-occurring r…
