I am soul searching wondering if when it comes to the current political climate i am descending into a state of cognitive dissonance. Facebook has become a twilight zone for me, exposing me to types of people who i cannot for the life of me change my negative opinion about perhaps because l defer to my gut feeling instead of my rational brain. I cannot change my opinion about the harm religion spawns or can i rein in my revulsion for right-wing fascistic conservatives. I cannot accept that these hypocrites and racists are people with integrity. Even Liberals have started to turn me off with their empathy for the neglected, resentful bigots who put …

I don't know what to tell you, but after years of slamming Tyler Perry flicks I found his most recent effort; Why Did I Get Married Too (2010) to be very entertaining. Sure the movie had all kinds of outrageous Tyler Perryesque drama, but it just seemed to be better than his previous efforts -- certainly better than the first installment Why Did I Get Married (2007). Maybe the flick reasonated with me more than his other efforts. At any rate, I think this movie was Tyler's best film to date.

The BOOK of GENES--GENESis, The First Book in the Bible There is a reason why the name of the First Book of the Pentateuch, GENESIS, and its very meaning in relation to the GENETIC origins of God's Creation of the first modern malefactor has been completely overlooked by the Black Church. There is a reason why most educated African Americans believe that the Bible is not a book of science and truth but just made up stories. One of several reasons would be because the Creator is being intensely OPPOSED and as a result, a great movement has been launched against him to deceive. Another reason that the Genetic factors of modern human beings ha…

INSPIRATION . . . Inspiration to Better Health My Inspiration: Allyson Felix It amazes me when I watch her run and sometimes I think back to the time when Flo Jo was the champion and this young lady was only about three (3) years old at the time! And, she wasn’t even born when, in 1985 the East German relay team set a record that she and her teammates broke in 2012. In fact, Allyson was born about a month later. IMO, she doesn’t even look like she would be a sprinter! And then when I was reading her biography, I saw this statement, LOL: I don't have a sprinter's…

(1) My hope is to structure my comment on Black history into two sections, one pertaining to transAtlantic slave trade and the Americas. Second pertaining to the history of the tranSahara slave trade and the African continent But that is the ideality of the matter. (2) Free access to early Black newspapers is below, but other online sites may have the Washington Bee and New York Age more complete holdings. Some bound volumes sold on E-bay may have these two important historical papers. https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/newspapers/?state=ðnicity=African+American&language= (3) Free pdfs of Black history slave trade book…

“I stumbled across your website and I'm wondering if you can help me. I read a book a couple of months ago and I'm wondering if you can give me any suggestions about how to go about finding this book I do know that is written by a black author but I don't know the name of the book and I don't know the name of the author is there a way that you may be able to help me? I look forward to hearing from you.” My initial reaction was to suggest some Ginkgo biloba, Now 30 years ago, I might have been able to help; maybe even run the titles off the top of my head. I replied respectfully. Don't ask me why..

One of our rather more outspoken....lol...contributors, said in another discussion: "The only people masculinizing black women are triflin' black men who have forced them to play the "father" role for the children they make and desert." While that may SEEM to be a valid point on it's surface, I can't help but notice something when I meet women from other cultures............. I've seen women from the Middle East and Afghanistan who grew up seeing all of the men of their village slaughtered, sometimes in front of them. Very traumatic. Yet these women still have kept their femininity. There are MILLIONS of women in the M…

In another conversation Cynique wrote, “…my sense of humor is what sustains me. I regularly watch Family Feud hosted by Steve Harvey, just to laugh at how stupid the average person can be.” What struck me about Cynique's statement is that she is roughly 30 years my senior and I can't see myself being amused by Family Feud--ever. In fact, I'm beginning to wonder what will amuse and interest me if I'm fortunate enough to have Cyniques longevity. I used to watch Family Feud and I even derived some enjoyment from it, but this was many years ago. Lately however, I when catch it channel surfing, it feels like I'm wasting time watching the show. I don't find …

What!? Serena Williams Does the Crip Walk at the 2025 Super Bowl Half Time Show! What a show! Man! It was awesome! Controversial but nonetheless dynamic! I really thought that the Super Bowl performance with Snoop et al. could not be matched, but I think that this one was insane! I'm not schooled well on the Rap industry but I now am learning about the heavy hitters and am impressed. I've never really heard about Kendrick Lamar and I vaguely remember that he was part of the other Super Bowl too, but now, I am schooled. I also vaguely remember his music being featured in a major gymnastic college competition too. Back then, I did not realize that h…

https://www.cnbc.com/2024/05/30/trump-trial-verdict-hush-money.html Former POTUS Orange Julius was found guilty on all 34 counts in hush money trial. Yet, Truth Social website crashed because it was flooded with campaign donations for his reelection bid. Remains to be seen whether or not he gets jail time. Doesn't stop him from running for POTUS. Let's see if the American people are silly enough to re-elect a clown with so many cases that he's running for POTUS with hands tied behind his back.😁😎

THE ARCHEOLOGY OF NOAH Introduction I am getting ready to share some more of my research, and so I want to say this ahead of time that some of you who decide to read further may think that I have lost my mind. I am getting ready to flip the script and present a strange perspective on this ancient story that has brought in a lot of revenue in the entertainment world in their many movie productions. So I just want to prepare you too ahead of time. There is a lot of information though, that I have but for now, I will attempt to just make introductions to a renewed look at the past with respect to the secular scholarly script though about the same time period…

Here I am, setting the record straight again, doing so, not because I think anybody cares, but rather because some may be curious as to why a 92-year- old-senior citizen wastes what little time she has left, hangin' out on an online discussion forum, engaging in verbal fisticuffs with a pioneer who has never blazed a trail anywhere except up his own butt. My answer: since the cyber space universe enables one to adopt an alter-ego, and take on a user name and lead a secret existence, quite a while ago I decided why not do this? What the heck. Might be fun. And it has been. In the real world, I am a widowed mother of 5, grandmother of 7, great grandmotherk of 8, …

Even in the Fire Department Racism and Negative Discrimination occurs. Listen to this AZ woman’s story It’s sad that even after all the revelation of last year things like this still happen. It goes to show that while social media has a wide reach, not everyone has gotten the message that not treating all people with respect is unacceptable.

https://www.axios.com/2024/07/14/trump-assassination-attempt-martyr-rnc After an assassination attempt on the life of former POTUS Orange Julius, both political parties are united in condemning the attack. The former POTUS was grazed on the ear, an attendee was was killed, 2 other folks were injured and the shooter was taken out by snipers. Over the next few days, weeks and months, we'll see how the temperature changes in terms of political rhetoric leading up to the election. As I've often mentioned, the political parties are two-sides of the same coin when the rubber meets the road.😎

The Republicans' big lie about reconciliation By E.J. Dionne Jr. Thursday, March 4, 2010; A21 For those who feared that Barack Obama did not have any Lyndon Johnson in him, the president's determination to press ahead and get health-care reform done in the face of Republican intransigence came as something of a relief. Obama's critics have regularly accused him of not being as tough or wily or forceful as LBJ was in pushing through civil rights and the social programs of his Great Society. Obama seemed willing to let Congress go its own way and was so anxious to look bipartisan that he wouldn't even take his own side in arguments with Republicans. …

Please read this carefully so as not to get the wrong understanding: Unless this planet gets hit by a giant asteroid or otherwise destroyed, currently AfroAmericans pretty much have 2 directions they can go to try and increase their success: 1. Keep Trump in office so that this society can continue to deteriorate and eventually collapse. 2. Or get Biden in office so that he can clean up SOME of the mess that has been made and maintain this society. Let's take a brief and practical look at both options, shall we............ 1. If Trump stays in office, unemployment poverty and destitution …

WTF!? I was reviewing a newly created page on my cell phone. Google inserted this advertisement for the “manscaped” product. In my book, any time you have to preface a product with the word “man” then it’s not really a product made for men. This banner ad makes that completely obvious. Why am I being served this ad? Have I been spending too much time promoting books by gay writers on this site? It is a dumb ad.

It seems writing FCK is an acceptable why of writing the f-bomb. I see it plastered on shirts everywhere. Would writing F*CK, or just plain FUCK be any worse? (Technically, in my case, it is. By simply spelling out the word correctly I run the very serious risk of running afoul of the Google censors, who determine where their ads can be placed, but that is another story). At any rate, I thought this video was cute. But is is largely preaching to the choir and I seriously doubt an actually racist will change their thinking after viewing it. Indeed why would the view it? The Internet has become such a stratified bubble--I doubt anyone who could benefit from…
