The lead actress in this film, Cynthia Erivo, is a very talented sister. I saw her on two occasions. Once; running past my apartment ,as a participant in the NYC Marathon and second in the Broadway play, The Color Purple, in which she sang her ass off. I'm sure this will be a feel good film. It will be interesting to see how white film goers embrace it. I'm sure it will be critically acclaimed and earn a few academy award nomination.

OCCULTATION of 2018 https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=459438 In this July 1997 still frame captured from video, the bright star Aldebaran has just reappeared on the dark limb of the waning crescent moon in this predawn occultation. Well, there are many types of occultations and in respect to astronomy, there are also many. However, in respect to our moon and earth, there were four and as usual, most of these types of ‘eclipses’ occultation occurs in a sequence. They occur in a series and for this year there were actually two series of which one included a ‘super blue blood moon’ on…

Do you like folktales/fables/parables? *********************** "Meat of the Tongue" Many years ago, in a land faw away, a great sultan lived in a palace with his wife. But the queen was very bored and unhappy. She would wander the pale, moping, yawning, and crying to herself, "What am I going to do? I am so bored and frustrated." The queen began to lose weight, and her hair began to fall out. Her skin was all pimply and her eyes were bloodshot red. She was, indeed, an unhappy queen. Now, in the village there lived a poor man whose wife was always very happy. When she worked in her garden, she would sin songs to herself and call out to her neighbors, …

This was an update written by Gwen Richardson. Dr. Ben Carson spoke at our church (Fallbrook Church in Houston) this morning at both 8:00 and 11:00 a.m. services. Many of my FB friends were interested in hearing my perspective on his presentation, so I'm posting a few details. First, there were a few dozen white congregants in the audience, more than we usually have. Fallbrook is a large church and we have some diversity but our congregation is 98% African American. This was one of the major Houston stops on Carson's book tour, which was the purpose of his appearance. He just released "A More Perfect Union," and is on a nationwide book tour. Second, his message was alm…

@Stefan Got an honest question for you............. I know we don't see eye to eye on a lot of topics however I personally see you as an intelligent and quite informed individual. However I'm curious to know why are you a Christian and why do you believe in the Bible? Do you have some sort of personal testimony that influenced your faith?

The day we "pro-choice" women have secretly been dreading has infortunately arrived with the reversal of Roe vs Wade by the U.S. Extreme Court. With Hillary Clinton's defeat in 2016, I knew then there was a possibility of this ruling be rescinded because the political right was crawling with fetus-worshipping hypocrites frantic to make motherhood a punishment rather than a privilege, - via reinstating a ban on legal abortions. This was why I had been urging Hillary haters to get on board with the Moderates in order to maintain the supreme court liberal majority through appointments made possible by the election of a Democratic president. That majority was what would pro…

I heard about White Robes and Broken Badges: Infiltrating the KKK and Exposing the Evil Among Us on the radio this morning where the author Joe Moore was being interviewed. Joe infiltrated the KKK and thwarted an assignation attempt on then, Democratic presidential candidate, Barack Obama. The most striking think to me was Joe describing the KKK members who are part of the police force and using their positions to help the KKK!

In the land of the free and the home of the brave... This is the only country where the "majority"(White People) can own, have, and control and still not be satisfied. Anytime someone black does anything amazing; "someone that does not look like us"(white people) studies what we did, replicate it, and the monetize it and then becomes a millionaire or billionaire off of our "one thing". Thus, the power of one... Now, when that one thing doesn't go their way "they" (white people)become really petty and petulant acting as if the world is about to end. Let me give you a few examples of "power of one moments". On October 3, 1995 Orenthal Jam…

There seems to be no functional relationship or cooperation on sustained basis between different communities of black people in the United States in the struggle against racism: African Americans, Africans, and Afro-Caribbeans. The initiative in the quest for solidarity among these groups seems to come from us, African Americans, although black people from Africa and from the Caribbean who come to the United States as immigrants and as students face the same problems we do as victims of racism. Solidarity with Africans on our part was demonstrated during the struggle against apartheid when African-Americans mobilized forces across the United State…

This is sure going to upset a lot of folks. A study from Australia's Queensland of Technology has found that the average Bitcoin enthusiast is a calculating psychopath with an inflated ego. Now, I wouldn't go that far. But I would definitely say some don't seem to care about the well being of other Blacks and enjoy disparaging those who defend our people who still struggle. And most do get dressed in the morning. I guess this explains on the part of some, their fascination with Donald Trump and belief this proven racist is a really great guy, owns the stairway to heaven, the escalator and probably the high speed elevator, too. Ah, but don't take i…

HaHa. Trump was passed over for the Nobel Peace prize he wanted sooo bad because he's jealous of Obama who this great honor was bestowed upon during his presidency. Trump was sure the prize committee would recognize him for trying to negotiate a cease fire between Palestine and Israel. So glad this undeserving despot was denied this honor which went to Maria Corina Machado, a woman who has long been fighting for democracy!

You remember that word game where you have to pick the correct word. Try the puzzle below by selecting the right word from the two enclosed by the brackets: "Not since Herbert Hoover has a party out of power had such an opportunity to run against everything that troubles the American family—prices, interest rates, unemployment, taxes, or the fear for the future of their old age or the future of their children—than is now presented to the Republican Party. The Republicans, however, haven't figured this out. This is their basic problem. They have no strategy for defeating an [Obama or Carter] administration that is highly vulnerable on both domestic and foreign poli…

Being a police officer, especially, in New York City is a difficult job. The work is stressful, your see the worst humanity has to offer on a regular basis. The job can be thankless. A role that is needed, desperately in some locations, but if a mistake is make the general public is all over you. That said I can not fathom a single justification for the senseless murder of a 51 years old Black man in broad daylight on a crowded NY City street. 12 shots fired by 2 officers, hitting the Brother 7 times (or so I've heard). I don't get it. They decided to execute kill this man. The police commissioner said the actions of the officers were justified. I don't see it.

These men are active in the Harlem community, and have been for decades; Brother Leroy Baylor / Media, Mosque No. 7 and Dr. James McIntosh / C.E.M.O.T.E.P. (Committee to Eliminate Media Offensive to African People). They are not celebrities but are actually doing conscious things of consequence in the community. Of course you will not read about them in the Black media today. The are direct links to Malcolm X, and The Black Power Movement.

Well, another mass killing has rocked the nation in the form of a massacre committed by a self-styled Muslim terrorist who shot up a gay bar on what just happened to be Hispanic Night. What an ironic dilemma for the crackpot right-wing followers of Donald Trump. The Orlando onslaught wreaked havoc on Mexicans and the LGBT folks, both of whom are among the favorite targets of Trump. But their secret satisfaction is tempered by the fact that their henchman turned out to be what they hate the most of all. A Muslim who claims ties to Isis! Trump, himself, couldn't wait to exploit the situation by going into his "I-told-you-so" mode, quick to thank what he clai…

Seems like every week Barry got something else new--a new crisis, a new meeting, a new announcement, a new summit I was wondering what he was up to--maybe he was panicking, running around like a chicken with his head cut off, that sort of thing. Then I got to thinking Maybe his idea is to keep the pressure up and by sheer force of constant hammering wear his foes down. All them lazy Congressmen by now got to be so tired of debating and voting they might start giving in-- I wonder though Can he physically keep this up?

Ancient Africa or Afruika holds the greatest secrets of our past. Afruika was the cradle of civilisation and the greatest empire ever established on earth was in Kemet, established by Africans, the Kemet people. To put the case on point, the greatest evidence to show Africans were once a kingdom is infused in our culture. The ancient Greeks acquired their education from centuries of established Kemet educational systems. The biblical empires of Mesopotamia and Palestine were offshoots of the Kemet civilisations too, just as the United States of America is an offshoot of the European/British civilisations. Read the beginning of an empire of Kemet and g…
