Culture, Race & Economy

@Chevdove I was listening to this recent lecture by Dr. Wesley Muhammad and I thought of you: Dr. Wesley Muhammad and Blue Eyed Black People The bulk of the discussion about Black people who naturally have blue eyes takes place between the 3 hour and 54 minute mark and the 4 hour and 11 minute mark. You may or may not be interested in the rest of the lecture which is nearly 6 hours long....but that area is about the blue eyes and the genome traits you often talk about.

... and Black people too. The speaker, Jeffery Robinson, offers a thoughtful, factual, measured, and critical lecture on racism's impact on Black Americans. Some of you may be tired of trying off explaining to good meaning white folks what racism is and how it has hampered Black people and enriched white people. When white people ask you to explain racism, you can point them to this video.

Conveniently Black A few days ago Jim Crow Joe Biden gave the descendants of the former American slaves the proverbial middle finger by picking a US born South Asian-Jamaican to be his vice presidential running mate. A South Asian from the country of India whose immigrant parents had nothing in common with our Ancestors’ experience from the Institution of American Slavery and the Jim Crow era. These facts should not be lost those of us care about the lineage and legacy of the Ancestors who bled, died and are buried on this soil. Joe Biden like Donald Trump and many of the ‘Pocahontas’ mindset minions either think we are too stupid or politically uneducated to know …

The image above is from a screen grab of a video I saw on the New York Times website (I'm pretty sure). They wrote an article about the election on Tulsa's mayor, a white guy in his early 40's. The most striking thing is that mayor, on his second term, the 4th Mayor of Tulsa in his family going back to the late 19th century! There was at least one Black guy running against him, the Black community is not happy with how the local government is treating their Black citizens. What else is new this is America... But I digress... Pictured s what is left of Tulsa's famed Black Wall Street. There is a tee shirt shop in the middle of the block. I did not see any d…

With love to my Chocolate Brutha's. In tears because I hurt for you, AND will NEVER give up on you. We suffer, we win, we fight, we forgive, we love, we survive...TOGETHER! Dear Chocolate Brotha, I love you so much because I can see it in your beautiful eyes – Your determination, your fight, your struggle, your perseverance. You have that spirit that gives you the courage to withstand all obstacles. That spirit that measures your man-hood, that defies defeat - that spirit in which your mother’s breasts nourished you for what’s to come, makes me fall in love with you over and over, again. Your eyes tell about the pass…

Underaged Caucasian kid is walking down the street towards the police with an assault weapon after shooting several people. ......and the police tell him get the hell out of the street as they drive past!

@Pioneer1, mentioned, in an off-handed comment on another conversation, a number of prominent Black women with white husbands. While I don't care who people marry, it got me thinking about the number of prominent Black women (non entertainers) who don't chose ADOS husbands. While we celebrate the 1st Black president and Kamala Harris (married a white guy) neither are ADOS. Is this a racist conspiracy against us as Pioneer1 would probably say, or is it a consequence of ADOS being less desirable because we've allowed ourselves to be weakened by our fixating on race, as I believe @daniellegfny would suggest. Candice Owens (married a white…

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.

Yes, @Pioneer1 this, too, may fit under Poetree, but with all the discussions about my people and about me, I felt that this is also fitting in this forum as I express my obsession with black people. I agree that you love who you love. I LOVE black and I LOVE my Black Girl Magic, and I REFUSE to let stereo-types and misrepresentations about me and my people brought upon by the, " How to Make a Slave" brainwashing tactics, that were forced upon my ancestors, keep me in a place of acceptance that is not of my own free-thinking and knowing better. This is for you, Black Beauty. Dear Black Beauty, My love for you runs to the ends of the…

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…

The following was a message I posted in another thread: https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/4759-“we-must-patronize-black-owned-websites-or-lose-them”/ I didn't want to hijack the original topic of the thread so I decided to turn most of my response into a thread in and of itself and hopefully initiate discussion. Del What's wrong with giving AfroAmerican women compliments? I thought the entire purpose of AfroAmericans networking with eachother was to strengthen our community and love eachother. Sexuality is an EXPRESSION of Black love. The work that Troy put in and my complimenting these women don't contradict eachother in any way, they are two dif…

HYPERLINK TO AMAZON DELETED Cover image, author information, publication date, and book description on am*zon via above link. This is an intriguing account of three murders in the Jim Crow Segregationist South between the 1930s and the 1950s. All murders were connected with the illegal gambling game of bolita. The book covers a period on the Jim Crow south from the 1930s to the 1950s when African Americans were unable to call the police if attacked, and could not seek justice in the legal system. Readers will be fascinated to find that today’s police force originated with slave patrols, formed to return “property” to the pl…

Troy, I saw this article in the AP and thought of you........

Many African Americans living along the banks of North Florida’s Suwannee River still refuse to eat catfish caught from its murky waters, knowing that these bottom feeders had at some point dined on the decaying corpses of their lynched relatives. This book chronicles how bolita, from its birth in segregationist Suwannee County in the 1930s to its death in the 1950s, led to Blood on the Suwannee. Bolita’s first casualty was the surreptitious murder of a prominent white bolita queen in the 1930s that inadvertently led to the expansion of bolita and bootleg liquor in the county. The second casualty—the untimely drowning death of fifteen-y…

Less than 30 minutes ago I sent an email (the entire message is at the end of this post) to my entire mailing list. Anyone one who knows me is familiar with the theme. What makes this issue different is that it does not just deal with Black book sites; it deals with the entire Black owned World Wide Web and how little of it we own and control. Even I was alarmed because I'm having difficulty finding 50 websites with a meaningful level of traffic. What is so striking is that we spending so much time hyping the benefits of social media and we have completely overlooked our ownership. This is like bragging about how warm and comfortable Massa's house while mo…

This line up brings to mind Tavis Smiley's State of Black America which in comparison to this was a circus. Culturally you can see the change in how we communicate. I have not watched the whole video yet but no one has insulted anyone, hogged the mike, gone on a rant or even raised their voice...

Yeah I know, when I started telling people this they all thought I was nuts or going through some crazy personal shit LOL! Well anyone who knows me would not be surprised at all. First, I'm not pulling up stakes here in FL and relocating to Florida (at least not right now), but what I have done is commit to moving to Tulsa for a year as part of a privately funded program, called Tulsa Remote to attract cool people like myself to move to Tulsa and infuse the city with some diversity and class LOL! The program includes a variety of incentives, free co-working space, $10K, deals on housing and more. They also covered a visit to the city (I visited l…

Having huge problems with posting this in the What are you Listening to now thread for some reason. Probably something to do with the device I'm using so I'll have to make do with it here. I think this is from 1972. I could be a year out mind.

So now Black women are running around acting like Caucasian men? ....fake "apologizing" for offending people and claiming to be allies to THIS community and THAT community? I didn't like it when Kevin Hart did it and I don't like it now. So instead of being the "good guys" and standing strong in defense of our community and demanding an end to the racism and White Supremacist ideology of this nation, negroes are running around wringing their hands together and bowing and apologizing to Caucasians for offending THEM (instead of it being the other way around). If anything, LGBTQIA Caucasians should be standing in line right next to the OTHER Caucasians apologizin…

The message, from Google’s CEO Sundar Pichai follows below: Hi everyone, Over the past several weeks, violent and racist attacks against the Black community have forced the world to reckon with the structural and systemic racism that Black people have experienced over generations. My own search for answers started within our own walls. Listening to the personal accounts of members of our Black Leadership Advisory Group and our Black+ Googlers has only reinforced for me the reality our Black communities face: one where systemic racism permeates every aspect of life, from interactions with law enforcem…

This year, I noticed that many television channels both broadcast and cable are coming out with new shows where the cast are predominately made up of AfroAmerican men who are flamboyantly gay, drag queens, and queer. And although you can find gay and transgendered men in ALL races......I've noticed that there are almost NO shows on television featuring a cast predominately made up of gay and transgendered men who are Latino, Jewish, or Native American. I've also noticed at a lot of the George Floyd protests there were a lot of LGBTQIA+ demonstrators and flags attempting to conflate their interests with police brutality and Civil Rights. From observing o…

Of course this comletely false on its face, but I gave Black Enterprise the benefit of the doubt and clicked through to see what they actually wrote. They did not cite a source to substantiate the claim, which would of course be difficult to do because one can not know the percentage of children with Covid19 in Florida unless they have tested all the children. Which has not happened. Now I already know BE likes to use click baity artcle titles to get more clicks (they even got me this time), so I soured on them long ago. I often lament the lack of Black-owned media and Black Enterprise qualifies, but they do not represent what I mean.…

I was watching Candace Owens interviewing a pro Second Amendment AfroAmerican man named Maj Toure and it reminded me of the exchange between Troy and myself about how AfroAmerican communities around the nation differ and how those who grew up in the Industrial Midwest in the 1970s had a different experience than those who grew up on the Eastcoast at the same time. I don't agree with everything he says but if you watch the video from where I started it (20 minute mark) to the next 10 minutes or so he goes deep into how "Black Culture" has been twisted and turned since the 1990s and how Hip Hop was used as a tool to help change the image of Black culture for the wor…

Just for a bit of fun, what are you or was digging ? Just finished listening to my own made up musical sounds on Spotify. Kind of usual suspects , Curtis Mayfield, Undisputed Truth, Funkadelic, Sly and the Family Stone, Jr Walker,Edwin Starr,Issac Hayes and many more.

During a conversation with an old buddy yesterday. My friend said that he did not understand all these so called Black activists who marry white people. He also said he was surprised I had not married a white woman 😲 We go back 40 years, so I was not phased by the dig, but it got me thinking... Would the founder of the largest website dedicated to Black books, a diehard advocate for black owned businesses, be a hypocrite for marrying a white woman? Would your impression of me change? Would my perceived support of the Black community be diminished? Is Clarence Thomas even more reviled by Black people because he is swirling, d…

Thoughts?

Half of the American's can not afford to buy the cheapest new car ($14,000); either they do not have the money to pay for it or the credit score to borrow the money. This he argues is one of the reason 45 was elected. YouTube definitely knows what videos to show me, because there was nothing this guy said that I disagreed with. The only difference is that he has data (and research) support my observations. Actually there were two other differences, the situation is actually a little worse than I thought, and there are actually solutions that can be implemented to fix all of this, but they would have to take place on a global scale. I…

Growing up White is about Blacks who do not act Black enough, therefore are discriminated by fellow Blacks for not conforming and scorned by Whites who stereotype by race. This book describes situations Oreo's go through and guides them through difficulty with advice and suggestions. Growing up White is a guide written in a humorous tone and displays an eye opening lesson on a subculture that lies between two cultures. Oreo culture also applies to Biracials who pass for black.

This is what I found when checking my Twitter messages just now. No one as ever done anything like this before. Sure sometimes orders get delayed or screwed up. No business is perfect. Everyone else who has a problem simply emails me. They don't put me on blast and effectively accuse me of stealing. @Pioneer1 I can see, based uoon what this woman did, why you would say we don't care about each other. But here is the thing, I've been working with this bookclub for years.

They LOVE images like this: Negroes in suits and ties getting their asses stomped and ran over by organized Caucasian men while other run off squealing and hollering and leave their women behind. Oh they luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuv it when negroes act like THAT.

“Washington Post Starts an Online Magazine for Blacks” This was the title of a post on our forum from January 2008. I stumbled across it looking for something else. The woman who shared the article left the following comment. “Great, the boogie Blacks have scored another sharp ass instrument to back-stab the Black masses with. And all we got is Jet & Ebony, that’s just f/ucked all up. That's the DEFINITION of OPPRESSION.” —Tonya It was interesting to read the the press-release-like article from the NY Times. The Root's website bares little resemblance to the hype from it's launch. In a subsequent post Tonya recommended the Black …

WhiteLiesMatters In the current culture of hashtags, there is one hashtag that has been trending long before the invention of the computer. The hashtag, #WhiteLiesMatters was the brainchild of the British Elites who set up the first laws for the Plantation Colonizers that became the United (divided) States of America. #WhiteLieMatters is the bedrock of America’s Empire where pale-skinned people make billions of dollars in revenue from the laws that they instituted to destroy the Indigenous people personhood and communities. Indigenous Americans or Black people have always been the main target of the laws of White Supremacy. Our Ancestors were the benchmark by whi…

Oh WOW! A 6000-plus Year Naked Eye Comet in the Sky This Month of July The news has just reported that the comet NEOWISE has been seen in our skies tonight and can be viewed with the naked eye for a month! Apparently, scientist did not believe that this comet would be able to be viewed so nothing was reported until now due to certain observers who were able to capture it and report it. This comet was said to first be viewed on March 27, 2020 but because of the other two recent comets that did not make it into are viewpoint, nothing was reported until today.

OH WOW!--A 6000-plus Naked Eye Comet in the Sky This Month! I thought I saw something in the skies as I was gazing at the Lunar Eclipse and the Grand Conjunction in the wee hours of the morning this month on July 5, 2020! So, I just read in the news today that a third recent comet called THE NEOWISE COMET can be seen this month with the naked eye! The other two recent comets did not make it into our viewpoint and although the Neowise comet was slated to have the same fate, however, it has defied expectations! It was first seen on March 27, 2020 apparently, but not until observers spotted this comet did the news break! This Neowise comet has been reported to ha…
