While surfing Youtube I happened upon these two White men engaged in a surprisingly interesting discussion on Creativity and how it is often fostered or crushed in our society. Something tells me Mel would enjoy this and Del would find this video delightful, lol. Not terribly impressive but a nice way to spend an hour.

PHOENIX (AP) — Democrat Katie Hobbs was elected Arizona governor on Monday, defeating an ally of Donald Trump who falsely claimed the 2020 election was rigged and refused to say she would accept the results of her race this year. Hobbs, who is Arizona’s secretary of state, rose to prominence as a staunch defender of the legitimacy of the last election and warned that her Republican rival, former television news anchor Kari Lake, would be an agent of chaos. Hobbs’ victory adds further evidence that Trump is weighing down his allies in a crucial battleground state as the former president gears up for an announcement of a 2024 presidential run. So, there you ha…

Because the United States is supposedly a "free state" founded on the Constitutionally guaranteed principles of freedom of speech and freedom of expression, the elite and powerful racists must find ways to LEGALLY control and manipulate you. They do this in several ways. First of all, most of the media publications are PRIVATELY OWNED....not public. So if you say something on television or in a magazine or on a website that the elite and powerful racists don't like....they can legally suspend you or just kick you off and cancel your show. It's not the government doing it, it's a private entity doing it and since there is no public alternative....you are esse…

https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/kamala-harris-trump-election-08-06-24/index.html Yesterday, VP Kamala Harris selected Governor Tim Walz (MN) as her running mate in bid for the White House. VP Harris' pick makes political sense because Gov. Walz ticks the boxes in appealing to swing voters. America is most comfortable with a paternalistic older white man either in the White House or in close proximity to it. In the spirit of the Olympics,if the Democrats were a gymnastics team, before POTUS PJB had a debacle of a debate and cognitive decline, he fell off the balance beam and failed to stick the landing. How…

https://www.npr.org/2025/01/02/g-s1-40854/tesla-cybertruck-explosion-las-vegas Probably a coincidence but there was another tragedy on New Year's Day. Another American citizen and member of the military made the news when he blew up a Tesla CyberTruck in front of Trump hotel in Las Vegas. Unless a manifesto was left behind, we may never know the motivation of this man because he killed himself. Unfortunately, these events will continue until America deals with the underlying conditions.😎

An ALTERNET article that gets specific about what we already know. "York City, the pot-bust capital of the Western world, is notorious for the racial skewing of its marijuana arrests. Over the last 15 years, more than 85 percent of the half-million-plus people charged with misdemeanor possession there have been black or Latino. But the racial ratios of reefer roundups are equally extreme—if not worse—in scores of other U.S. cities. In Atlanta, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Washington, more than 80 percent of the people popped for pot possession are black. In Minneapolis and its Hennepin County suburbs, black people are 11 percent of the population and more tha…

Claudia Alexander, was the NASA scientist who oversaw the dramatic conclusion of the space agency's long-lived Galileo mission to Jupiter and managed the United States' role in the international comet-chasing Rosetta project, which recently landed a spacecraft on a comet moving through space at more 84,000 mph, died July 11 at Methodist Hospital of Southern California in Arcadia. She was 56. (see LA Times story). Claudia also authored several children's books. "She wasn't famous, although she spoke often to the public and was eloquent and impassioned whenever she did so. She was highly respected by basically everyone who met her, as far as I can tell. She was an extraord…

I had to ban another poster today today, They posted the following message which interested me. My name was Antonio West. I was the 13-month old child who was shot in the face at point blank range by two black teens, who were attempting to rob my mother, who was also shot. I think my murder and my mommy’s wounding made the news for maybe a day, and then disappeared. A Grand Jury of my mommy's peers from Brunswick, Georgia ruled the black teens who murdered me will not face the death penalty... too bad it was me who got the death sentence from my killers instead, because Mommy didn’t have the money they demanded. See, my family made th…

This thread is prompted by an observation by Cynique on another thread but it goes into the response by Black men in general society when it comes to conflict in the community and especially between Black women. Why do so many Black men allow people and especially women to fight without doing the "manly" thing of stepping in to resolve it? I can't speak for other male posters, I can only speak from my personal experiences and observations as to why this often happens....... First of all, a lot of Black men actually DO step in Especially when things get physical....as I have on several occasions when women started fighting eachother in my presence. But as long a…

To date, there are three primary reasons given for the black man’s tenure at the bottom of the social totem pole. I’m convinced there are more, but the three most commonly accepted ones, due to my studies, are that we are where we are because of (1.) Divine Decree. (2) Hereditary, or (3) Social Engineering/Laws Okay, let’s examine the trio of woes. Gonna start at the bottom and work my way up since the path is more objective. Let’s use 1865 as a start date for our freedoms here in this country, and take a look at some of the laws that were enacted to halt our forward momentum. I have already mentioned the infamous Pig Law of 1867 which initiated the pl…

Moses Was NOT the Only One to Prophecy the Slave Ship Trade Specifically, Moses and most of the major prophets did not only prophesy about slavery and the selling of human beings into slavery by ship, but they pinpointed the most critical time period that did not occur until thousands of years after the rise and fall of many great civilizations. Even though slavery and the sale of humans by means of shipping happened in the old world, the prophecy written down in the Bible was about one main epoch: the Transatlantic Slave Ship Trade. Why though? What was so critical to write about this event to the affect that the very first author of the Holy Bible wr…

As the good Professor often points out, one of the biggest differences between AfroAmericans and White Americans is the fact that we don't have a habit of properly CODIFYING our intellectual and technological inventions. White people LOVE to write things down. The have a habit of document them, then pass along the information. But a lot of our people don't want the bother. Too many of our people look at recording and codifying our inventions and parts of our culture the same way some people look at slipping on a condom during the heat of sex.....taking time to do it breaks the momentum, lol. But failing to codify our inventions lead to a number of probl…

https://apnews.com/live/mike-johnson-speaker-congress-updates GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson won re-election today with 218 votes. The GOP Freedom Caucus threatened to oust Rep. Johnson but POTUS-elect was always behind him. No way Johnson was going to lose the gavel. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (Dem) won 215 votes. As customary, he handed the gavel over to the House Speaker. Rep. Byron Donalds received 1 vote. Of course, he's just happy to be the GOP chief water-boy. Remains to be seen how productive government will be with the GOP essentially controlling all three branches of it. No excuses in terms of opposition.😎

Just as I feared I would I busted out LMAO at parts where others found laughter inappropriate--you know the ones that were supposed to be "touching".

Spike Lee's biopic "X" is a really good movie. It tells a great deal, but this documentary, Make it Plain tells a great deal. It deals with the evolution of Brother Malcolm in ways in which many other documentaries and/or even books have not. I believe that Bro. Malcolm's evolution has really been misrepresented purposely and otherwise. This is one of the best documentaries that I have ever seen.

Slow day, half way through July and I'm really appreciating that where I am, summer is turning out to be genuine. Hot, blue-skied days, warm nights, balmy breezes, green lawns, blooming flowers, growing gardens, scampering squirrels, chirping birds - thunder storms punctuated with lightning. I love it all, because for the past few years, my summers haven't lived up to expectations. They would be tentative, sluggish, not sure they really wanted to heat up, and before I knew it the leaves were falling and a cold winter was forecast, leaving me to be content with watching the seasons change. Content, indeed, because there is something awesome about witnessing nature go thro…

I have to admit Nicki Minaj has a point here. The media insatiable design to create "news" out of nothing has them trolling the internet to create News stories. The fact that Joy Ann Reid has been used to publicly diss another Black woman is disheartening at best. I actually read a few of Minaj's tweets. She wrote she will get the vaccine, as she has to tour. She also wrote that she did not discourage others from getting vaccinated. While I may Minaj's with her reasoning for not yet getting the vaccine herself. I know many people who have the same opinion. The difference is the people are not slamming them on TV for it. Celebrity does have a price. …

https://www.npr.org/2021/11/18/1056753071/activists-call-on-oklahoma-governor-to-stop-julius-jones-execution Apparently it doesn't happen too often in Oklahoma but a man hours away from the needle got a stay of execution from the governor. I didn't realize Oklahoma has the highest incarceration rate of AfroAmericans and a strong record when it comes to carrying out executions. My 1st thought is how or why a black person would live in, er, commit any crime in the state of Oklahoma knowing the chances of being locked up are guaranteed. Nonetheless, while the man's life has been spared, he will still spend the rest of it as J…

New Zealand woman sells souls to highest bidder Mon Mar 8, 11:33 pm ET WELLINGTON, New Zealand – The rare spirits that went under the gavel at a recent online auction in New Zealand weren't aged brandies or hard-to-find liqueurs. Instead, two glass vials purportedly containing the ghosts of two dead people sold for $2,830 New Zealand dollars ($1,983) at an auction that ended Monday night. The "ghosts" were put up for bidding by Avie Woodbury from the southern city of Christchurch. She said they were captured in her house and stored in glass vials with stoppers and dipped in holy water, which she says "dulls the spirits' energy." She said they were…

Lorraine Hansberry was a genius! The way in which she described institutionalized racism through characters in "A Raisin in the Sun" was brilliant. However, it is little known that her play, A Raisin in the Sun (though reflective of the story of the collective) was also very much reflective of her personal experiences. Link: http://www.wttw.com/main.taf?p=76,4,4,10 "Chicago native and author Lorraine Hansberry drew on childhood experiences to write her acclaimed novel-turned-play A Raisin in the Sun, in which a black family faces discrimination after buying a home in an all-white neighborhood. Hansberry was nearly eight years old when her father, Carl Han…

I'm not making anymore contributions. The $3 amount make me think of the panhandler you asks you for a penny saying, "anything will help". It is amazing what political campaigns, in this country, have become -- contests to see who can raise the most money and is best spearing at the opponent. $750MM to become Mayor of NY, $1B+ to become president. I seem to remember the Democrats, and Obama, campaigning on campaign finance reform. Both parties are up for sale.. For anyone so inclined...

In light of the recent events, the question is raised in the black community often: "What has the Zimmerman trial taught you?" I am not trying to be funny here, yet to me, the previous question is comparable to the question "What has calculus taught you about subtraction?" The concept of subtraction was understood well before encountering calculus, so what exactly was calculus "supposed" to teach me about subtraction? At any rate, there are many of us to whom the concept of injustice seemed a bit unfamiliar until the Zimmerman verdict was announced. Perhaps in some cases this is because some of our people thought that we had "overcome". It is said that that i…

This was at the top of my Twitter feed today. I did not comment on it, but it struck me because the person who posted it cares for 45 about as much as I do and they went to the same business school I attended. The problem I have with the chart (assuming you accept the figures as presented, for no primary sources was cited) is that the statement failed to recognize the staggering job losses shown on the very same chart for the first two years of Obama's presidency! This also ignores the net job gains for the 45 adminstration are actually far great than they were for Obama at the same point in his presidency. In other words, this chart, looking at the number…
