Culture, Race & Economy

When I went to post our review of Stand Your Ground on social media, this morning, the following conversation (see below was on my Facebook wall. Since I don't do Facebook conversations anymore (just here and other indie websites) I did not participate, but the conversation intrigued me because I know the principle participants. Timmothy McCann who launched this assault on the president has been writing books for as long as I've had this website. His early novels were bestsellers here. Gwen Richardson, started a website called Cushcity shortly after I launched AALBC.com. She runs the National Black Book Festival, has published a few books and is my partner on The Pow…

Every once in a while i need to connect with the elements and be made aware of my star child status. i arose at 6:am this morning, bundled up and ventured out my front door to stare up at the sky and renew my kinship with my astrological relatives. Local weather forecasters were predicting that a cloud cover would probably obscure the rare celestial phenomenon that was scheduled to take place this dawn. They said the same thing last summer on the day of the much anticipated solar-eclipse. But in both cases, their predictions didn't phase me. Just as i had a clear view of a big orange sun and was able to stand barefoot in the grass and watch its entire eclipse,…

I frequently see Amazon charging more for a product that other vendors. This example was particularly egregious because Amazon was charging more that EVERY other vendor I checked. I was able to check multiple prices in my search engine query. I visited Amazon just to make sure and to get the screen shot. I brought the telescope from Target because they offered free shipping, and honestly, because they were not Amazon. The product was not available locally. Other than the fact that Amazon could get away with inflating the price, there was no discernible reason for Amazon charge more for this telescope. Many people use Amazon as the first place t…

Is it possible for an individual, not politician (because most of them are well off anyway), to believe in Democratic Socialism when they are financially successful. Sure, when a person is financially struggling, Socialist programs are very appealing. For example. politicians like Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and AOC promise free college tuition and socialized healthcare that won't bankrupt an individual when they get sick. In some instances very progressive candidates promise to abolish student loan debt, which can be very devastating to someone who owes such debt. They also promise higher taxes on the rich to pay for th…

Gun terror in America This showed up on my channel. After watching, I thought about how other countries and peoples view us here in America. Just how does media influence the way other people think about America today? Is the gun violence really the way that this report portrays? I did not realize it was on this scale from the viewpoint of others outside of America until I watched this video.

I like the article from Dan rather, but he misses some key points for me https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2151&type=status

https://www.blackenterprise.com/maryland-gov-wes-moore-vetoes-reparations-bill/ 1st Black Maryland governor Wes Moore vetoed a state bill to study reparations. Firstly, there's already been a few studies into reparations for America's original sin of slavery. The interesting part is nobody had to study other reparations i.e. Native Americans, Israel, Japan, Holocaust and Chinese Americans to name a few. Gov. Wes Moore is a rising star in the Democratic party. They may be grooming him for a 2028 POTUS bid. IMO, Gov. Moore is on a trajectory to be POTUS Barack Obama 2.0. Gov. Moore isn't going to do anything to u…

Man! They got Patterson and now they're getting Rangel. We can point the finger at those two but they are just two whose time ran out--our political system is a sump of corruption and those who are not corrupt cannot advance or last in it. I note they were both from Harlem part of some legendary club that came to power as reformers and new jacks in the 60's and 70's. (Rangel was and Patterson's dad was) Where were they when the heroin was ravaging their community? Oh well. Who will step up and try next. Troy? Or are youse gonna let a white guy do it?

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…

After concentrating on some recent research, I have become thrown into depression as a result of this newfound information. So now, I hope to share it and by doing so, it may help me to get some peace. I am trying to get to a point that I can publish my findings but it is so challenging. Coming to this community though and reading and listening to other contributions in this area has helped me a lot.

Greetings! I poked around a little bit, but other than @Troy, I didn't see anybody here from my days of posting, the early 2000s until 2010 or so. I thought about AALBC because I met someone here who became a dear friend (Yvette Perry), and last week she sent me a very thoughtful gift. I started reflecting on our friendship, and it took me a minute to remember where we'd first met. And then it came to me: AALBC! Troy, thank you for providing a forum for some unforgettable characters and conversations. I'm glad to see the conversation continuing, and I hope you and your family are doing well!

A lot of lies, wishful thinking, and confusion has been promoted through out our community but especially the past few years with so many "internet scholars" claiming Black Americans are everybody from the "true Jews" to the " true Native Americans". I'm no scholar but I've done decades of research on race, religion, nationality, as well as psychology and how people are manipulated through their base desires. I'm gonna lay out some facts in a simple way and compare it to the prevailing ignorance as a contrast to highlight it and make it more clear. WHAT is a "Hebrew"? The word "Hebrew" is an English mis-translation of the original word "Iboo" If …

This prominent South African brother makes it CRYSTAL CLEAR how he feels about White people coming to Africa trying to tell them that their values should be and trying to influence them. Note how he makes the point that I've been making for years, how they never go to the Arabs and try to force the LBGT Agena on them! I also likes how he says morality isn't determined by popular consensus! I'm going to have to use that one in an an argument....lol. It doesn't matter how many people "agree with" or "support" something. Either it IS RIGHT or it IS WRONG. Popularity or contemporary feelings about a subject doesn't chang…

@aMhayes made a post about voting rights , linked at the bottom of this post, and as always I think of the history in all questions. The question is always, how do you get from there to here. How did the Black populace that was majority anti white in the british colonial form of the usa become majority pro -usa in modernity,multiple centuries? A long process, constant white opposition/suppression of black individuals/groups/leaders who oppose embracing whites or the USA in the black populace in the USA, a persistence among black individuals or groups who want to embrace whites or the usa, whether financed by whites or not. Now what does what was have to do with black…

This popped to the top of my feed this afternoon, this was a worthwhile distraction. If this is indeed a letter from a formerly Black man. The brother was a genius.

Further confirming my belief that the tide has turned and white people no longer feel the obligation to be politically correct when it comes to the black race, the annoucement of the nominees for the highest honor the movie industry bestows on its finest, snubbed all of the worthy candidates of color. Or as the social media captioned this blatant oversight: the Oscars have gone white. Ava DuVernay, the black female director of "Selma" and David Oyelowo, the actor portraying MLK in this film, were passed over by the Academy Awards committee, their worthy performances left unrecognized. The trickle down rejection of racial equality that has its origins in the disrespect …

Google has digitized about a bazillion books (50 million+ at last count, if memory serves). One of the outcomes is the meta-data Google have amassed. Google has tons of metadata, including every word I'm tying now. Often they give people access to this stuff and you can do some pretty interesting things with it. I tried to come up with the most inflamatory and racist terms I could think of for different groups of people. You know I actually struggled to come up with these terms. "Konky," for example, seemed more goofy than racist, but that was the best I could do for a single word. I through of old fay, redneck, whitey, but they all seemed pretty luke warm when comp…

Here I am back on this forum after finishing another 6 month work assignment of 10 hour days for 6 days per week. That work schedule leaves me too drained for anything else, but food and rest. Yet as I come back I viewed videos of 2 men shot and killed like rabid dogs in the streets by those sworn to protect us, one in Louisiana and one in Minnesota. This is the most disturbed I have felt in years since it seems that even the most mundane encounter with the wrong police officer can end in your death. http://pollardpost.blogspot.com/2016/07/are-we-all-just-another-nier-to-some.html

While researching some basic biographical on Ebony K.Williams, I stumbled across this video of Ebony K. Williams. She made me think about the impact of artist on young people. Interestingly Eboni's mom, a Black woman, is a 45 supporter. She felt 45 would make the change needed. As I get older I wish more women my age got as much coverage as these really very young women do.

But based on my deeper research it has become amazingly obvious that there happens to be a wealth of hidden information about the dominant presence of many Black people who lived in Europe, not in…

On Twitter they go by the handle @BlackPressRadio I wanted to know if anyone else here has taken advantage of the Power 100? I think this is a wonderful way of addressing an issue @Jeffrey was raising about Authentic Black projects. I was interested in finding out what other people experiences were. If they were able to generate new contacts or business? I will let you know how my interview goes tomorrow. PS they gave me a gift certificate to share that has limited time redemption period. It’s good for $50 starting September 2020.

This song, "The Other Side of Town," by Curtis Mayfield is one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite artists. It came out in 1970, but I was an adult before I first heard it -- if I heard it before them I probably could not appreciate it. It is a very sad song in many was. It reminds my of the lives, and contributions to society, that were lost because people grew up impoverished. It also make me think of the comments @Gibran and @Pioneer1 made in earlier conversation where people do something dumb because some negative remnant of their upbringing presents itself. Know know folks who have completely derailed their lives because -- they let…

Agency Sides With Theory That Lab Leak Sparked Pandemic Energy Department agrees with FBI's conclusion, for a different reason The COVID-19 pandemic probably began with a laboratory leak, the Energy Department has decided.
