Culture, Race & Economy

We need to honor all our best and brightest to combat low self image.

Another Presidential Election is upon us and the white media is doing its job by propagandizing selected views of the voters. The so-called national news outlets intentionally leave out the concerns of the cultural collective community of Black people every four years. The term “Black” is a legal term for the people assigned to the bottom of the ‘casted’ system in America. The Ancestors were designated to the term (Negroes) by the British Elites lawmakers, therefore the term was transferred to us. The truth about the origin of the term Black need to be taught to millennials and Youngers if we are to survive as a group. Understanding this truth will help us navigate th…

America began in 1776. Blacks helped fight in the Revolution that brought this nation into being.

Hello, I would like to have my book considered for a review. The Harlem Story, originally written as an integrated, musical screenplay, follows the journey of gifted singers raised in the church, aspiring to sing professionally. The novel incorporates R&B, gospel, and Hip Hop song lyrics and ideas from my script. In 1963, JAMES HARRIS and DIANE SMITH, gifted singers at age six, witness the murder of their parents by the Klan outside their Southern church. AUNT MILLIE, age 52, James' mother's religious aunt, flees with the children back inside the chapel. The House of God is set on fire. They are trapped inside, but a deacon arrives to rescue them. T…

Now I don't think that a man like Minister Farrakhan spends time connecting with family and friends on Facebook. Nor do I think he needs, or desires Facebook, anymore than you or I. I just went to Facebook and still see plenty of Farrakhan related content, so I have know idea what Facebook's banning of Farrakhan really means. I read the NY Times account and it was not illuminating. Then it dawned on me! Facebook made this announcement in desperate move to garner attention and visitors to their site. Well it worked on me, 'cause I scrolled through Facebook site for the first time in the better part of a year. My overall reaction was that…

I just sat down to watch some YouTube videos while eat my dinner and decided to watch the NBC nightly news. Now I never watch local or national news broadcast, but the flooding in Houston piqued my interest. 90 seconds in I can tell why so many Americans are stressed out. The lead in to the new program was ominous -- disaster, followed by calamity, followed by tragedy -- it was too much! I was actually shocked! Who subjects themselves to this "news" everday? Man has not to evolved to deal with a lifetime of bad news in 60 second period. Is everyone just numb to it? I watched something else.

All I wanted was the elimination of the Individual Mandate, but so much more was gained. Now there are an additional $500 Billion reasons to vote Trump. So I cast my ballot today.

Recently my brother Tariq Nasheed held a conference down in Atlanta on the importance of unifying and embracing ourselves as AfroAmericans (or as he refers to us as "Foundational Black Americans") I'm not sure if anyone on this site attended but if you did I'd like to hear (read) your thoughts on the event. I've been saying for years that AfroAmericans NEED an actual culture. We don't have our own culture. We have a SUB-culture which is a modified form of the dominant Caucasian culture of the United States; but we don't have an actual culture of OUR OWN that includes all of the necessary ingredients for it to be called an actual culture for example o…

As I Google myself I find more references to my father. Here are two books he was in. I may get around to writing a Monograph on him based on materials I gather.

So let me get this straight.................. The 2 race-soldiers** who SHOT our sister to death get to go free with no charges. But the 1 race-soldier** who discharged his weapon but DID NOT shoot our sister is the one who gets charged??? A damn joke. ** In the system of White Supremacy, Caucasians who put on any type of uniform and show a willingness and desire to harm people of color while in that uniform are NOT to be referred to as "police officers" because they have broken their oath and have disgraced their profession. They are to be referred to as what they really are.....SOLDIERS in the race-war waged by White Supremacy.…

This is an excellent documentary detailing the events of the Black Wall Street atrocities. Sadly, this is little known history. Please pass it on. A note about the documentary, it gets started around 5:50 time. I posted this one because it had the full version and not segments of it. The beginning is a little editorialized, but to go straight to the doc, just skip to 5:50 time. BLACK WALLSTREET (From Davey D's Hip Hop Corner) Please pass this on to the Iota Family. It's an important part of history that every Black person should know, if they don't know already. Ron Wallace: co-author of Black Wallstreet: A Lost Dream Chronicles a little-know…

Hey @Pioneer1 this might be right up your alley: https://thefreedomgeorgiainitiative.com/ The want to develop "...our vast resource-rich 96.71 acres of land in Toomsboro, GA for the establishment of an innovative community for environmentally sustainable-living, health & wellness, agricultural & economic development, arts & culture for generations to come." They misspelled the name of their own organization at the top of the page (I just emailed them a correction).

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…

Here's a few things to daydream over if you're enjoying a nice quiet Sunday afternoon....... If Malik Shabazz hadn't been assassinated in 1965 there would have been no Black Panther Party. The Black Panther Party was formed in 1966 because of the VOID left after his armed OAAU organization disintegrated following his death a year earlier. Had he lived, IT would have been the premiere armed Black organization and there probably wouldn't have been a need for the Panthers. If there had been no Black Panther party there would have been no Bloods and Crips. You had a lot of small neighborhood gangs around the nation but none as massive b…

I got the following text today "Hi, Troy, it's Maria with MoveOn. We have the next seven weeks to finally send the Donald Trump presidency to its rightful place: the ash heap of history! Get your FREE limited-edition 2020 Blue Wave sticker [link removed]." I don't know "Maria" or hiw she got my number, but I've been getting variations of the message for a while. I block all the messages as I never signed up for text messages.... None of the messages explain why I should vote for Biden. I'd preffer some good reasons to go out my way to vote for Biden. Trump will win with this strategy, because people who are not hyoed on Biden are not g…

Once again, we got ANOTHER Caucasian woman who infiltrated an AfroAmerican organization calling herself "Black" and assumed a leadership position because the silly Negroes who followed her didn't have enough sense to FIND OUT who she really was............... Local organizer admits she lied about her race Satchuel Cole, known for years as a local social justice activist, apologized in a Facebook post for lying about being Black. Cole, who uses they/them pronouns, was associated with Indy SURJ and Indy10 Black Lives Matter. They were a frequent leader at protests for racial justice, as well as LGBTQ+ and women's rights. …

Hey @Troy are you familiar with her work. Ran into her at the St Mark's Poetry Project. Richard Forman was reading this wild piece of writing. I was laughing and she asked me if I was a writer. She would go on to write Top Dog and Under Dog which starred two of my favourite actors Don Cheadle and Jeffrey Wright. She also wrote Venus. MacArthur “Genius” Award recipient, and in 2015 was awarded the prestigious Gish Prize for Excellence in the Arts. Other grants and awards include those from the National Endowment for the Arts, Rockefeller Foundation, Ford Foundation, New York State Council on the Arts and New York Foundation for the Arts. She is also a recipient of a Lila-W…

Curiosity ...

Most of you may or may not believe this but the VAST MAJORITY of the laws that have been made in this nation AFTER the Constitution was established were made specifically to RESTRICT AfroAmericans! That's right! Those who helped to establish the United States wanted to make a NEW nation separate from the old nations of Europe dominated by centuries of laws, rules, and customs along with Kings and Queens who had the right to just make up any old rule they felt like. They intended to set up a nation with FEW restrictions and only one solid Constitution that was supposed to prevent tyranny and limit excessive authority and rule-making. If you study U.S. history, yo…

'A New Moment for Black Bookstores' by Eugene Holley Jr. Eugene Holley Jr. profiles four Black booksellers for Publishers Weekly in “A New Moment for Black Bookstores.” He writes the following: The publishing world has had to adapt to a business landscape that is rapidly changing as a result of the pandemic and the response to continuing police violence against unarmed Black people. The 130 Black-owned bookstores in the U.S. have had to deal with these broader challenges, as well as with cultural and economic forces that uniquely affect them. … As challenging as this period is for bookstores like Marcus Books and Turning Pages, other outlets, like Semicolon…

Colonial America Anti-Black Agenda Colonial America was founded on the spirit of hatred, haughtiness of its collective self and a history of barbaric behaviors including a warring nature. From its inception, the pale-skinned Colonizers from northern Europe set up societies with a governing model similar to the formal feudal caste system of Europe where the word ‘black’ was used as a derogatory description or to degrade its bottom casted citizenry with contempt and disrespect. This was the vitriol and disdain that became the foundation of Colonial America Anti-Black Agenda. Frankly, it appears that the country has reverted back to colonial times with militias assis…

Now I know from previous posts on the subject, that many women think these sort of videos are examples of female empowerment. I still see it as exploitation, but I recognize this old fashioned sis gender mansplaining. That said, how long can can this music remain popular? The lyrics in this video are are the "clean" version. Of course I know they will persist until they stop making money, but when are they gonna go out style -- sheesh! "Make that pull out game weak," was a good line though LOL!

Interesting............. I find it very interesting because her previous two marriages were to MEN: Husband #1: Don Nash (and Niecy) Husband #2: Jay Tucker (and Niecy) This raises a lot of questions for me. First of all, Niecy is 50 years old. How long did she KNOW she found females attractive instead of (or along with) men? *Was Niecy BORN homosexual as many claim a person has to be? Because if she was, this isn't 1960 it's 2020 and being lesbian has been socially acceptable (not liked by everyone obviously, but still acceptable and tolerated) in this society for over 30 years! So why would a person in this day and age who KNEW they were homose…

When Andrew Gillum was arrested after losing the Florida Governor race, my first thought wasn’t “Oh no another Marion Berry”. My thoughts directly went to “Hmmm I wonder if he was swinging with Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo.” I remember when young black men started coming home with shoelaces untied and and pants sagging down. Are we witnessing the final stages of destruction of the traditional sexual roles as a new sexualization revolution is taking place before our eyes? What impact will it have on future generations?

I watched this video and I believe that if more of our Elected Officials took this class we would have a different dialogue today. Let me know what your thoughts are.

We still aren’t communicating properly yet and this is leading to major challenges. 1. We are continuously reinventing the wheel. 2. We are building stables supply lines. 3. We are continuing to hop from one White Platform to Another. I would like to look at ways to break this cycle.

The 1st installment in our “Press Play & Read” web series.

We have to ask these questions.” The triage nurse was more salt than sugar, yet there was something about her stoic demeanor that made Scott feel safe, as if his story mattered. Shame and embarrassment aside, his experience with reporting injuries sustained at the hands of his wife was nothing short of offensive. Vapid accus…

3 North Carolina Cops were caught talking about a race war and planning on buying more weapons to kill as many "n*ggers" as they can.................. So, Daniel.... Is this an example of that "bogus racism" that you speak of? And do you "forgive" them? Wait....they didn't even ASK for your forgiveness, so this is going to be a hard one...lol

Recently @Pioneer1 and @Chevdove indicated that white racism goes back thousands of years and that Africans were enslaved by white people because they were racist white supremacists. This was an idea that I rejected because there is a great deal of evidence to shows that white racism really emerged, in the west, in an effort to justify race based slavery. Christianity and science were perverted in order to justify race-based slavery. We know Africans moved throughout Europe and were not not discriminated against based upon race There are African Popes and the Greeks went to African to learn from African's was acknowledged as being Black indeed th…

The Academy Establishes Representation and Inclusion Standards for Oscars Eligibility I must admit, this is a move that the industry should have examined long before 2020; regardless, my optimism regarding the inclusion of Black writers, producers, directors, etc. is palpable. Does this feel like Hollywood's stab at affirmative action to you? I've included the film eligibility standards per the Academy; source docs are located on the official website, Oscars.org. I'm diggin this new soothing interface! @Troy

I originally saw this done on Instagram Live by one of the Big Publishers. I am in the process of doing my Black Children’s Book review weekly. I ran into a technical glitch so I will try it again tomorrow. Undaunted, I decided to face the world with Twitter. I think it will give me more opportunities to polish my craft. So I humbly submit my first effort. Let me know what you think 🤔.

It has long been a desire of mine to recreate the Golden Triangle in reverse. To develop a network that would link North America, South America and Africa. In order to do this I wanted to first connect with English speaking countries and then expand. With the publication of Auntie I Don’t Want You To Get Married: Danielle The Girl From New York and the announcement of the release of the audiobook book I was able to make the acquaintance of the First Audiobook Distributor/Publisher in Ghana 🇬🇭 Akoobooks. After several discussions and trying the app https://app.akoobooks.net/packages I made the decision that they would be the company to translate our w…

Makayla and Canisha This satanic CAVE MAN shot those two young ladies because he was RACIST and they were AFROAMERICAN......that's the truth. It had NOTHING to do with whether or not he loved children or them witnessing a murder. That's just a SPIN the media is trying to put on it to take his racist motives OUT of the picture. But notice how despite killing his own wife, shooting 2 other females, and STILL shooting inside the house when the police arrived....he was able to "surrender" without having a scratch on him! Same situation with Killer Kyle Rittenhouse and Dylan Roof....arrested and detained without a scratch.

THE CU THE CURSE OF HAM & The Black Plight Police Shootings Justified Today Because of the thread topic about Professor Tony Martin’s research, it would be good to cross reference the book he quoted by a Jew name H. Bachman on the Judgment of Noah. Mr. Martin states in order to set up the African Slave Trade, justifications were made on the beliefs that Blacks were subhuman and that Noah cursed his son Ham and all his generations to be Black and Ugly. Martin further states that the Talmud constructed around the AD 500s states that Ham entered the tent and “buggered” raped Noah. And, if this sort of justification was embraced then, could this ki…
