"Let me plant the stake now: No black person — or Hispanic person or ally of people of color — should ever even consider voting for Michael Bloomberg in the primary. His expansion of the notoriously racist stop-and-frisk program in New York, which swept up millions of innocent New Yorkers, primarily young black and Hispanic men, is a complete and nonnegotiable deal killer. Stop-and-frisk, pushed as a way to get guns and other contraband off the streets, became nothing short of a massive, enduring, city-sanctioned system of racial terror. This system of terror exploded under Bloomberg, with his full advocacy and support. In 2002, the fir…

Hey everybody! I thought that this topic that I brought up would be a good discussion topic since a lot of Black Americans and Black Latinos have been discussing how they identify themselves as well as others that are apart of the African diaspora. I did a video on YouTube video; which is posted below; a while back discussing this topic and how the Black American and the Black Latino community are not as equal as we all would probably favor it to be. I would like to know what do you guys think. My video: https://youtu.be/3N9IfKEjVdY

"If we must die, let it not be like hogs, Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot, While round us bark the mad and hungry dogs, Making their mock at our accursed lot. If we must die, oh, let us nobly die So that our precious blood may not be shed In vain; then even the monsters we defy Shall be constrained to honor us, though dead! Oh, kinsman! We must meet the common foe; Though far outnumbered, let us still be brave, And for their thousand blows deal one death-blow! What though before us lies the open grave? Like men we’ll face the murderous, cowardly pack, Pressed to the wall, dying, but - fighting back!" Messenger Magazine was one…

Hi I made this thread for anyone currently experiencing Back Pain on the forum... I dealt with severe back pain for 3 years (2014-2017) age(22-25).. During the course of that time I tried several things in attempts to alleviate my pain... - Muscle Relaxers - Aspirin - Soaking in Thermal Water - Yoga - Stretching - Alternative Massage Treatments - Chiropractor adjustments - Physical Therapy Nothing recommended by the medical physicians worked for me... My pain was so severe at one time to the point I was limping.... I had to quit working outside and transition to working from home in order to make ends meet... Over t…

Picture 1994: “This is a great script. Let’s get Julia Roberts to play Harriet Tubman,” said the then-president of a studio sublabel. Fortunately, there was a single black person in that studio meeting 25 years ago who told him that Harriet Tubman was a black woman. The president replied, “That was so long ago. No one will know that.” —The Los Angeles Times, November 19, 2020. Plowing through my emails this morning. I got an email with the subject, "Julia Roberts as Harriet Tubman?" I immediately deleted the email, but something told me to undelete it and read what as in the email -- only because the person who sent it was an elder and respected author. If …

ENKUTATASH NEW YEAR FESTIVAL—SEPTEMBER 2019 This Historic Friday 13th ~ The Real BLACK FRIDAY The Enkutatash, Ethiopian—HEBREW ISRAELITE Festival marks the ancient PASSOVER FESTIVAL WEEK that was instituted during the lifetime of Moses and almost 3500 years ago when the Israelites marched out of Egypt and detailed in the book of EXODUS. And what makes this year so interesting would be due to this week of which includes Friday 13th, a day marked in the Bible as being the last plague, the Destroyer Angel. So although most internet articles respond to the question about the real origin of the mystery that surrounds this unlucky day …

DIY Afro Kinky Wig Chizi Duru Inspired Afro Wig, by HerGivenHair company When I consider about hair extensions, weaves and wigs, I wonder about other Black African American women and their choices based on availability. I have been natural for at least 30 years and ever so often, like now, have braided in hair extensions so that I don’t have to spend time styling my natural hair. But it has been a challenge for me to find kinky or nappy hair extensions. So therefore, in the past, I have manipulated curly hair extensions in a way to make them appear to be nappy. Thankfully, I have just found another video that …

In reaction to my article about I no longer send readers to Amazon's website, someone sent me this interview. Here Stacy Mitchell explains, in layman's terms how, Amazon became so dominant and how they are adversely impacting our society. I believe as long as people perceive they are getting inexpensive goods easily and quickly, Amazon's dominance will only grow. The ultimate damage will be incalculable. Our politicians have utterly failed us on this one. Unfortunately give the ease at which consumers are manipulated, the government is the only entity that can stop Amazon.

I recently I got into a confrontation at work with a manager (not mine) over a particular issue and it got to the point that our voices were raised. It didn't help that he was Caucasian also, lol. The issue was resolved (although I'm sure he hasn't forgotten my challenging him) by a higher up but later on after it was over a female co-worker from Nepal whom I flirt with a couple time but she rarely flirted back confided in me how hot and attractive it was to see me being loud and turning red while standing up to that particular manager whom she didn't like either. She said it felt like I was standing up for her (although she wasn't even on my mind at the time) and that th…

I was listening to a recent episode of Tariq Nasheed where he played an audio clip of a little Caucasian girl who was casually calling an AfroAmerican family "nigger" (including the baby) and this reminded me of the conversation @Ldvirtue and @Chevdove and I were having a few weeks ago in this thread: https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/5993-white-domestic-terror/ about where racism comes from. You two maintained that racism (the actual hatred of and desire to destroy people of color) was TAUGHT; while I believe that although some of it is taught most of it is programmed into the very genetics and psyche of most Caucasians and doesn't have to be taught. Like a talent, you …

I recently was made aware of an interview of an up and coming rapper named Jidenna (half Caucasian and half African) and he was pretty well spoken on a number of subjects including religion, sexuality, and the state of African peoples world wide. During the first part of the interview he pretty much sums up my position on how vulgar a lot of females are portrayed in today's rap culture but his commentary on other subjects were equally as interesting. I didn't agree with them all, but I found it a bit refreshing to hear young rappers articulate their opinions about society with a degree of intelligence.

Only found out about this lovely sounding place recently. Can't seem to get their web site up,at least on my device, but here's a YT clip. Hope to visit NYC next year and I'm coming here along with the Peacefood cafe in the Village. https://youtu.be/sgR0NfoN-EM

We are all aware of the mainstream media's negative narrative about black men. We are constantly bombarded with stories of high incarceration rates, black on black violence, deadbeat dads and of course police brutality. From the outside looking in it appears that black men are destined for failure and there is nothing that can be done to change the implied negative trajectory that black men are on. But is the media's narrative true? Are black men really an endangered species? I believe the answer is an emphatic no and I have made it my life's to work to support and empower black men to overcome the negative stereotypes and to create extraordinary lives. In ord…

Kareem, you mentioning your profession made me think about how vulnerable so many AfroAmericans are when it comes to legal protection in this system. Many of the Caucasians I know casually toss around the threat of suing people for this reason or that and often times they do. Sometimes they win, sometimes they lose, but most of the times it's settled out of court with atleast some benefit for them. But just that threat or ability to sue and having a lawyer (often times a family member or friend) argue for them was enough to get them SOMETHING. Meanwhile I know AfroAmericans who have had CRAZY shit happen to them on jobs, by the police, at the hospital....didn't hav…

I thought it only fitting to leave a departing message since I've contributed a lot comments to the culture, race & economy forum. It appears the conversations here have deteriorated into hateful and fearful rhetoric, zero-sum comparisons and nothing good comes from those ideas. So, I bid this forum adieu. I'm signing off here but not AALBC's readingblack.com ✌️

The first 24 hour Black News Channel is expected to launch November 15, 2019 @6:00 AM. The cable network is the brainchild of J.C. Watts, Jr., former U.S Representative (R-Oklahoma) now BNC chairman and Veteran Journalist Bob Brilliante who will serve as the cable network's CEO. BNC Newsroom management made their rounds at the National Association Black Journalists Job fair in Miami, FL earlier this month. The news channel, headquartered in Tallahassee, Fl, will broadcast to 33 million households nationwide with a major presence in Los Angeles, Atlanta and New York. ~MH You can read the release here: https://blacknewschannel.com/wp-content/uploads/BNC_NABJ-Press-Rele…

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…

Shocked but not Surprised. The horrible summer of 1919 was more terrifying for Blacks across country in the U.S.A. than for Whites. All Americans with different goals. The book RED SUMMER is a documentation and not so subtle reminder of the foundation upon which Black Americans seek to build shelters for survival. The events of 100 years ago reflect that fears and motivations driving the current levels of social deniable and blind ambivalence to a tradition abusive police behavior against citizens of color. Author, Cameron McWhirter, of RED SUMMER, traces key activist organizations and national cities to document the seeds and spreading terror that rises and falls like na…

@Pioneer1 I could nit help think of you when I made this.

A buddy forwarded me this video, I watched the whole thing with interest listening to the numerous examples of white people who held racist views. It was not until the 7:38 mark where he states that we are "...supposed to think that race doesn't even exist." That I realized that I was watching white racist propaganda. This is really well done. The speaker is likeable measured and "sounds" reasonable and rational. Intrigued, I went to youtube to find more videos and my suspicions were confirmed as this video about Trump's comments about Baltimore illustrate. @Pioneer1 do you understand why a belief in "race" is so destructive? …

What is culture and cultural traditions that are unique to Africans (ascendant) in America? I hear some folks complain about cultural appropriation. But I’m not sure what we consider cultural isn’t actually assimilation. Without researching, I can think of a few things that are uniquely African American 1) buck dancing 2) gospel singing with 4 part harmony (the quartets) 3) drumming (djembe drums) 3) jazz music composition 4) scat / Rap / hip hop 5) trimming hair on the first friday of the new moon...observing & worshipping nature in general 6) seasoning foods with herbs and animal fats, 7) …
