Culture, Race & Economy

What else is new. This is just how our black men act. It’s embarrassing .

Sometimes I'm glad I didn't go to college because I'm not sure I could tolerate the extremely strict rules this society has set for so-called professional at a corporate and national level. When I look at those in the media and national spotlight whether they are professionals in entertainment, politics, religion, etc.....it seems you have to be near PERFECT in your thinking, looks, performance, social relationships, and have a near spotless record going back to Kindergarten . "Mr Perfect" ????? When you look at the news, it's full of entertainers and politicians who were otherwise smart and attractive but mad…

I work in a factory where the demographics are pretty much evenly divided between Black folks, Latinos, and non-Latino Whites. A few months after working in there I noticed that the machines seemed to "like" some factory workers more than others...lol. One guy gets on a machine to run it and it breaks down constantly, but another guy gets on it and it runs smoothly his entire shift. Being a Black man who's OBSERVANT and is constantly on the look out for the wiles of the racists.....I also noticed that the machines seem to break down on Black workers more, especially the men. I brought this up to a few of my Black co-workers and wondered out loud if so…

I didn't watch the State of the Union address. I figured I could catch the sound bytes and high(?) lights later. The reviews, which all seem to be limited to Biden supporters, said ol Joe gave a good accounting of himself. But from what I saw, he came across as a crotchety ol geezer telling kids to stay off his lawn. I don't believe he changed many minds, and I just think the Dems could pick some one more impressive to run against tRump. This spawn of Satan looks like he might reclaim the presidency. And if he gets back in, he has promised that heads will roll, as he goes on a vengeful rampage. If he loses he will, of course, claim the election was rig…

I find it VERY interesting how the international and British press are covering the race riots mass protests over in the UK. I find it even MORE interesting how the police and local authorities are reacting (or not) to them. Here in America, 2 cops can shoot down a gentle, attractive (Does being attractive really make a difference? Usually with men), unarmed Black woman in her night gown (sad just thinking about it). Contrast that with England, where every night you've had entire gangs of angry red-faced White men roaming around with bats and axes smashing property, burning cars, threatening people, and even assaulting police officers....yet you haven't heard …

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/justice-department-charges-james-comey-lying-congress-rcna233581 Looks like the revenge and retribution of POTUS OJ weaponizing Department of Justice (DOJ) to go after his political enemies has begun. Today, former FBI Director James Comey was indicted on two counts of lying to Congress. Most likely, these charges will be an inconvenience to Comey. I don't believe he will be convicted of anything. Therefore, no fines or prison time. POTUS OJ also wants DOJ to press charges against New York Attorney General Letitia James and Senator Adam Schiff. These people eit…

The subject involving the names black parents bestow on their children generated quite a debate here, and it wasn’t long before I landed in the midst of it, peripatetic gadabout that I am. I’ve tried to adopt a tolerant approach to life, - one that reflects a "live-and-let-live" attitude, but people who assert, stir up my assertiveness. So, fresh from my literary excursion through a book about the esoteric realm of Masonic symbolism, I cast aside the ethereal veil which had enthralled me, donned my cynical game-face, and jumped into the clash. As usual, the subject split out and went off on different tangents. Before long, arguments in favor of made-up names merged w…

What "We Want Our Country Back" Really Means White Citizenship By MARGARET KIMBERLEY The founding fathers made one thing perfectly clear when they ratified the constitution in 1787. Full citizenship rights were meant only for white men of property. Over a period of nearly 200 years, people’s movements guaranteed that those rights were extended to everyone regardless of race or gender, but the fact that the struggle literally took centuries should not be forgotten. It is tempting to snicker at the sight of today’s Tea Party members, grown men wearing knee breeches and three-cornered hats. Yet their costumes tell an important tale. They evoke an era still seen a…

Over the course of a conversation I was having recently lamenting the state of the Internet; I asked someone to name just 5 popular Black owned websites. I figured I'd put the question to a larger audience, and see what answers I got. Try to answer the question off the top of your head, without resorting to internet searches.

*Well now, isn’t this interesting. It seems as though Rainbow Push Coalition founder and former Democratic presidential candidate Jesse Jackson is in the hot seat. Karin Stanford, who was Jackson’s mistress and fathered a child with the civil rights leader, is slapping Jackson with court papers claiming that the former Democratic presidential candidate owes $11,64.50 in child support for their 12-year-old daughter Ashley. The National Enquirer exposed the long-term extramarital affair in an exclusive in January 2001. Jackson, who is still married to his wife, Jackie, admitted paternity. He paid court-ordered support and regularly visited Ashley in Stockton, Calif.…

The ongoing relationship between writers and readers is age old and has been called one of the greatest social experiments of humanity since it is this bonded sense of communication that has forged empires and invented religions. There is little argument about the passion and range of our oral traditions that pre-dated slavery, but much of what was passed on from one generation to the other as folklore and traditional stories was invariably lost as we transitioned to English from the tongues in which our history was recited. On this side of the Atlantic, due to the constructs of our forced labors and the need of the slave-masters to craft a new b…

September 13, 2022 https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2064&type=status I stated that the Black community was incorrect to itself concerning education. In this very same forum, how often have Black folk complained about a so called lack of education among our own. A demand for this and that in terms of goals in the education system in the USA which black people never controlled or administered in majority. And yes, it matters when someone not black is governing Black people. Said someone is a fellow human but that includes their human dislikes or desires that don't go alongside other humans. Recently I used simple proof th…

Manipulate customers in the U.S.A. to buy products made in the usa. Tariffs by default raise prices outside a country with the purpose of making products cheaper internally. Manipulate firms in the USA to buy more natural resources in the usa while growing/manufacturing more products in the usa. Tariffs by default raise t…

Well gruel world, CareyCarey's palms are sweating and his knees are getting weak, the marriage is but a week away. That's right, the fire is stoked and the pot is boiling, now it's time to put a top on it. Till death do us part But wait, vanquish any thoughts from your mind that I'm getting married. Nope, been there, done that, and it was a great time, and I am on the auction block, but today I am talking about a marriage of a different sort. Well, not really, but let me explain. The state of Iowa is one of a few states that has legalized gay marriages. Now, since I live in Iowa, I have a vested interest in these ongoings. I could sit back and let the wor…

http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/2530358,59hours-chicago-shooting-072410.article And, all those who scream about lack of community cooperation with the police, first answer these questions. 1) do the police snitch on each other? 2) do politicians snitch on each other? 3) do white folks call out white racism? 4) do Italians snitch on the Mafia? And so it goes.

Have a wonderful birthday!!! I'd sing ya a song, but trust me, typing is safer on the senses~

Louis Farrakhan Responds to Accusations that He Killed Malcolm X in the Film “Betty and Coretta” by BBD Staff The new film, “Betty and Coretta,” explores the lives of two iconic women, Betty Shabazz and Coretta Scott King. In the film, Mary J. Blige, who play’s Shabazz states that she believes that Louis Farrakhan had something to do with the death of Malcolm X. Min. Farrakhan is obviously concerned about the allegations and does a direct interview with The Final Call to discuss the matter in more detail. The film has been attacked by the daughters of both Betty Shabazz and Coretta Scott King, who say that their mothers were not properly represented. …

Where do your thoughts or ideas originate?

@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.

Looks like my girl Candy O is back at it again! Fox News guest Candace Owens claims Meghan isn’t Black enough to be a victim of racism During an appearance on Fox News, conservative activist Candace Owens said that Meghan Markle is not Black enough to have been a victim of racism. In an interview on Sean Hannity’s show on Wednesday night, Ms Owens, who is Black, gave her opinion on a number of the talking points from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s interview with Oprah Winfrey. Ms Owens called Ms Markle a “typical leftist narcissist” and said that she had seen the “t…

Everyone in this community who wrote/drew/performed knows that in modernity control over one's art is a challenge. Here are some thoughts.

Okay, I just broke down a begin my first foray into TicTok. Everyone is telling me I need to be on the platform. So I'm starting in earnest today. I still can't image it helping, but I hope I'm proven wrong. My goal is to post a short video several times a week. I'm open to any suggestions. The video is raw, I did not bother to shave or wear anything special -- if I did it would be too much work. I figure I could invest 15 minutes a week to post a few sub-two-minute videos to the platform.

https://www.foxnews.com/world/who-barbecue-gang-leader-wreaking-havoc-haiti @Pioneer1, dysfunctional Black folks arent unique to the USA.🤣 All h8ll is breaking lose in Haiti. The de facto dude in charge calls himself Barbecue. Last week, the wife of President Jovenel Moïse was charged along with others in his 2021 assassination. A country run by Black folks can't get right. Of course, foreigners interfere in their affairs but there's no shortage of greed and corruption among the Haitian people too. 😎

https://npr.org/2025/01/01/nx-s1-5245211/new-orleans-attack-bourbon-street-shamsud-din-jabbar The New Year 2025 has started off tragically. A truck plowed into a group of people killing 15 and injuring 35. It is considered an act of terrorism. The FBI has already identified the main suspect who was shot and killed by police. He was an Army veteran. Authorities are still looking for a few people who may have planted explosives in the area. Keep your head on a swivel. Pay attention to your surroundings. There are no guarantees. Try to stay safe. Tomorrow isn't promised to anyone. Continue to li…

This video was posted on the Atlantic's website as part of Ta-Nehisi Coates's cover story, "The Case for Reparations." While I shared and read this 16 thousand word article, I missed the attached video. I missed the video because I printed the article a read it offline. After using a program to strip out all the images and ads; the article was still 24 pages long. I just don't like reading articles this long on a screen--consider me old school (I know I'm not alone). I don't think I was the only one to missed the video. The version The Atlantic posted on YouTube was only viewed 1,900 times and it was posted last May, this is a remarkably small number of views given th…

A few moments ago I was hunting around my Google Home app trying to figure out how to change my "assistant's" voice. Google presented me with the following video. The video's preview image -- which is carefully crafted -- grabbed my attention for, what should be, obvious reasons. I watched the video in it's entirety. I'm not alone; the video was posted less than 24 hours ago and has almost 3 million views. Normally, I'm pretty good at ingoring the stuff that social media throws at me, largely because I actively avoid exposure, but this one hooked me. I don't think I'm being a "gruppy old dude" by complainin…

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America "Risk is highest for black men, who (at current levels of risk) face about a 1 in 1,000 chance of being killed by police over the life course. The average lifetime odds of being killed by police are about 1 in 2,000 for men and about 1 in 33,000 for women."

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.
