NY Governor Under Fire: Calls For Paterson Meeting Updated: Thursday, 04 Mar 2010, 2:39 PM EST Published : Thursday, 04 Mar 2010, 6:23 AM EST MYFOXNY/AP - The Reverend Al Sharpton is hosting an emergency meeting with minority leaders in Harlem on Thursday night to discuss whether Governor David Paterson should resign. Pressure is mounting for Paterson to step down following several recent scandals. The NY Post reports Sharpton- who has been a supporter of the embattled governor- may be rethinking his position. A Democratic party adviser tells the Associated Press the meeting will take place at a restaurant. Paterson was accused Wednesday…

Chicago’s western suburbs were hit hard by a deluge of rain this weekend. Lightning flashed, thunder boomed, and the rain fell, and fell, and fell. The fund-raising gala sponsored by the local black heritage museum of which I am a staff member was held at the club house of the race track that borders my town, and I should’ve known after the first race was postponed due to threatening skies, and the horse I bet on in the third race came in last, that I was in for an "erratic" evening. By the time my friend dropped me off at my house, the rain was really coming down, but I wasn’t concerned. It’s not like I hadn’t experienced bad weather before. Anyhoo, as the n…

Obama Derangement Syndrome---ODS—is a new category of mental illness recently added to the DSM, The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the mental health profession's official catalogue. It is a disease afflicting conservative Republicans primarily. The symptoms of ODS are (1) an absolute conviction that anything said by Barack Obama-- “there are 24 hours in a day”, “the earth is round”, “water is wet”-- must be opposed and damned as the utterances of ‘the most radical president in American history’, (2) the condemnation of Obama for not buying into demonstrably absurdist ways of dealing with problems, such as—not taxing the rich makes everyone e…

http://aalbc.it/vernondavis Check out our interview with Vernon Davis who was the big star in the SF 49ers upset win over the New Orleans Saints. Vernon scored the 1st touchdown and then the final one (with just 13 seconds left) before breaking down and crying on national TV. While Tim Tebow has been enjoying most of the NFL limelight lately, perhpas you'll be more inspired by Vern's story of overcoming the odds and his commitment to giving back. Plus he is a reader :-)

Sad commentary on how far America has fallen when the main thing it is providing its citizens with nowadays is material for ridicule... ...as MItt Romney announces his cookie cutter conservative choice for a running mate, and Barack Obama snubs the traditional 75 year old back-to-school parade politicians all over Chicago and Cook county participate in to placate black voters, - and makes plans to attend a private fund raiser bash to be hosted by NBA stars, including Michael Jordan. Meanwhile, much to the disgust of his constituents, Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr. is lolling away at the Mayo Clinic supposedly recovering from the depression b…

I just published a blog post: http://www.cbpublish.com/writing-tips-amazon-kdp-support-kenp-10-000-pages-read-for-100/ This blog post is in regard to KENP for those who have books on Amazon Kindle. Check it out and then look at the fees associated with renting from the Lending Library. How are other companies going to compete with Amazon when they are able to pay writer's on a lended book? Amazon prime is an amazing loss leader for Amazon and it definitely signals the end for a lot of small companies.

To @Pioneer1's point, I find it interesting that white folks feel comfortable showing up @ AALBC a discussion forum primarily for Black folks. Whenever said white folks do post anything, it's mostly to criticize and/or point out the flaws in Black folks. The same white folks who show up here don't seem to offer anything positive or constructive nor do they provide a solution for what white folks will do to eliminate the system of racism white supremacy. I would dare not show show up on a white extremist or KKK or Duck Dynasty website talking about how white folks need to stop inbreeding, smoking crystal meth, mass killing each other …

https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cpqe7rp388vt South African President Cyril Ramaphosa visited the White House Oval Office today. After exchanging a few compliments, POTUS OJ ambushed President Ramaphosa over allegations of white Afrikaner genocide. Allegedly, white South African farmers are being executed amd their farmland is being given away. POTUS OJ had a propaganda video and a stack of news clippings to back up his BS. There is no genocide of white South Afrikaners. Full stop. If it was true, white troops would be in the process of slaughtering 50 million Black South Africans. POTUS OJ i…

She was a surprise guest at AmericaFest, a Turning Point USA event. Minaj had high praise for POTUS OJ and VPOTUS too. Apparently, the current administration makes her feel safer. Nicki Minaj is of Trinidadian descent. I'm not totally surprised with how she rolls politically. Especially after she's made several millions of dollars.😎

We are in the midst of changing times. All around us things are evolving; subtly in some areas and blatantly in others. Uncertainty permeates all facets of our lives. Young people look ahead, focusing on the future, oblivious to how much they have to learn. Old people look back, resigned to what the past has taught them. Some say what lies ahead has been prophesied and that what awaits will be either The End or The Beginning. I say WHO knows. And upon deciding to make “who knows” a statement rather than a question, I am inspired to contemplate. In the seventh year of the seventh decade of my life, I look around, seduced by the implications of the 77 that defines…

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…

The Internet has really become a catch-all for the whims and schemes of PC users. Every week there is a new viral video out there, attracting millions of hits. Almost as frequently, a new hoax apppears which a visit to the Snopes site will debunk. E-Mail scams are every day occurrences, concocted to steal your money or your identity. The cyber world is a parallel existence that doesn't necessarily coincide with reality or truth. There is a video currently making the rounds that claims to be Little Richard as a child. As soon as I saw this performance I knew it was a crock of misinformation because I recognized the piano prodigy as someone I remembered from back in …

Admittedly, I'm biased; I go out of my way to support anything featuring Black folks on any platform or media. The film Red Tails is another example. I've had a page setup waiting for the publication of a review for a couple of weeks: http://aalbc.com/reviews/red_tails.html Unfortunately, that review will not be available until AFTER the film has been released. My reviewer can not view the film until Friday. This is not normally a good sign and generally indicates a weak film as negative reviews can kill an opening. Rottentomates, my main source for film reviews, as of the time of this post (1:20PM GMT -5) only shows one critic's review: http://www.rottentom…

I figured it was just a matter of time before things came to a head in the ongoing conflict between black males and white policemen. It's a situation that is deeply rooted not only in the history of this country but in the DNA of it combatants. It has much to do with authority, and those who resent the ones who possess it, a situation dating back to the days of slavery. African Americans have always been this country’s stepchildren, and heirs to its injustice. Centries later in the year 2016, a showdown looms. as blacks have finally joined the ranks of terrorists. The retaliatory killing of 5 white policemen by a gunman angry over the slaying of 2 black men could be the s…

The nation’s top court just handed Black voters another big win. The Supreme Court on Monday, June 26 lifted its hold on a Louisiana case that could force the state to redraw congressional districts to boost Black voting power. The order follows the court's rejection earlier in June of a congressional redistricting map in Alabama and unfreezes the Louisiana case, which had been on hold pending the decision in Alabama. In both states, Black voters are a majority in just one congressional district. Lower courts had ruled that the maps raised concerns that Black voting power had been diluted, in violation of the landmark federal Voting Rights Act. About a thir…

https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/nottoway-louisiana-plantation-burned-rcna207810 The Nottoway Plantation in White Castle, Louisiana has burned up. It was the largest antebellum mansion in the south. Of course, it's been a long time since 150 Black folks were enslaved at Nottoway. Surely, none of the descendants will be shedding tears over the destroyed structure. The owners claim they're going to rebuild it. Hopefully, they won't be able to do it and haven't salvaged any relics or memorabilia from the past. Good riddance.😎

"All Fridays Matter" It seems like the corporate driven frenzy to start spending for Christmas starts before we can get through with Halloween. It is crazy the whole purpose of Chirstmas being a religious holiday has been completely obscured by "the suits." Today Amazon sent me two emails before 5:00 a.m. to remind me of the deals available for Cyber Monday--It is still November!. Since I pretty much have everything I need right now and I don't have any "mad money," Cyber Monday is pretty much a non-event for me. As a book seller, it definitely makes no difference as books are discounted all year round, and there is no really no urgen…
