I can't but help getting the impression that black culture believes that as a result of the wait of a new president that their problems are going to magically disappear. Truth of the matter, in days of slavery there were good masters and ruthless masters (slave owners). However, the people were still slaves to some slave owner (good or ruthless). Nevertheless, a huge percent of the black culture today are so distracted with trying to manipulate the image of what freedom is that we have been pulled right back into slavery thinking that Biden/Harris is going to give us our papers to freedom. As long as Nike, Eddie Bauer, Michael Kors, Versace, bling, wigs, nail shops, c…

I remain flabbergasted by the comments of some on this forum. Despite the frenzied denials against all evidence, White Supremacy continues to exist. In fact, there are millions of Whites who would just love to return to the days when they could actually own, whip, rape or kill a person with impunity. These are times when their desires were quickly met, their complaints always rectified and their violent rages repeatedly excused. Ah, but don't take it from me. Read an opinion piece in The Black Wall Street Times written by its esteemed founder and editor-in-chief, Nehemiah D. Frank. He's simply highlighting yet more proof that racist Whites are ramping…

I know that this is a divisive issue in the African-American community and some might disagree with me. This post addresses colorism mostly in the dating arena. When the issue of colorism is addressed in dating, it usually centers around dark-skinned black men with light skinned black women. It has never been a secret in the black community that many dark-skinned black men, especially when they obtain money and status, prefer lighter skinned women. This is certainly nothing new. It has been going on for many, many years or decades. Celebrities of ye…

Has anyone else noticed something that seems to be more and more common when you talk to a lot of people at home lately? It seems that a lot of people are simply letting their smoke alarms beep and chirp. They aren't changing the batteries. They are just letting them chirp and ignoring them and if you say something about it they will either act like they didn't notice or get annoyed that you even mentioned it. It's like going over someone's house with roaches. They are all over the place but you're supposed to "pretend" that you don't see them...lol. I started noticing this 10 of 11 years ago and then started noticing it online when people were …

Universal Basic Income is coming, fiscal capitalism with modern technological capabilities deletes the need for physical toiling human labor, in regions in humanity that have the militaristic power + natural resources to maintainthe technological capability. But what are some general problems? Giving money allows for those, like telemarketers, like similar scammers to acquire large profits. How can they be stopped absent a level of legal criminalization to such activities that is absent in the financially wealthiest governments. No modern multiracial populaces has a consistent legal or administrative history of providing any service equally to individ…

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/sep/28/eric-adams-drops-out-new-york-mayor-race NYC Mayor Eric Adams has ended his re-election bid. Citing a lack of access to campaign funds was the main reason Mayor Adams dropped out. A lack of money would prevent Mayor Adams from runnimg independently. The current administration didn't put that money machine behind him. It is also being reported that Mayor Adams was in 4th place behind Mamdani, Cuomo and Sliwa. Maybe the current administration has a job for Mayor Adams. I believe he'll resurface eventually. I doubt he's financially well off enough to stay retired.😎

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/03/08/dan-makes-watermelon-quip-depicting-gop-attacks-obama/ Former CBS News anchor Dan Rather, speaking on the GOP's expected strategy against Democrats in elections this fall, said Republicans would describe President Obama as "a nice person ... very articulate" but an ineffective leader who "couldn't sell watermelons if you gave him the state troopers to flag down the traffic." O jeez! Ain't it November, 2012 yet?

This is an excellent documentary detailing the events of the Black Wall Street atrocities. Sadly, this is little known history. Please pass it on. A note about the documentary, it gets started around 5:50 time. I posted this one because it had the full version and not segments of it. The beginning is a little editorialized, but to go straight to the doc, just skip to 5:50 time. BLACK WALLSTREET (From Davey D's Hip Hop Corner) Please pass this on to the Iota Family. It's an important part of history that every Black person should know, if they don't know already. Ron Wallace: co-author of Black Wallstreet: A Lost Dream Chronicles a little-know…

Black on black violence/crime is quite profiitable. Perhaps this is why we do not hear too many complaints about it from the dominant culture until there is a need to distract, divide, and deflect. The counternarrative of black on black violence has been especially hot in conservative circles. Quite crafty obviously, because this counternarrative has been adopted by many who probably would otherwise actually be discussing the injustice of the Zimmerman trial and the injustice of black life in America. How easily we are distracted. What really is our logic behind those who have never cared about black people killing one another spending so much time, energy, an…

I just refreshed my list of the top Black Owned Websites, a list I maintain on huria.org. In another conversation on this forum, a visitor wrote that the number one website, currently Worldstarhiphop.com,"...is for the children." In reality, the website is designed for adults, and is currently the #1 Black owned website. I rank websites based upon Alexa rankings, an admittedly imperfect metric, but is all I have and is better than nothing. Worldstarhiphop.com is essentially a gossip site that posts embrassing vidoes of celebtrities, public brawls and the like. The founder Lee "Q" O'Denat, the founder of Worldstarhiphop.com.

Chicago never wants for controversy. The city abounds with it in all areas: politics, police misconduct, gang killings, a pending teachers strikes, an increasingly unpopular mayor. A couple of weeks ago, I could barely finish wiping my tears over the collapse of my beloved Chicago Bulls basketball team, when a spring training episode erupted in controversy centered around the White Sox. Because one of the Sox's designated hitters with a big contract, was called out by the general manager for bringing his 14-year-old son to work every day, this indignant player opted out of a lucrative contract and quit!. Chicagoland immediately began to take sides on this issue.…

The Trump election was indeed about color—green. Perhaps now people will see this election wasn't about race. This election, like all of the others, was about power and money. Wealth inequality will continue to grow. The Trumps of the country will get richer and we'll all get an upgraded iPhones that we struggle to pay for driving for Uber, delivering groceries for Google or delivering books for Amazon, in this exploitative "gig" economy. Now that Trump is dissing his own supporters by appointing more Goldman Sachs bazillionaires. Trump even hired that guy, Steve Mnuchin, who stole homes from elderly people who took out reverse mortgages (I didn't even know you…

The concept of Salawa and its ramifications for Maroons/ how it creates Maroons Part 1 will focus on defining salawa and its function This Aja word has no direct translation to english but it references, among a number of things, the ramifications of living or not living in accord with Divine Law, what we call in Vodun, Gbesu. Many people are familiar with this concept, often times through the hindu terminology of "karma." Salawa isn't good or bad in itself per se, it simply is. It is more or less the effect of human activity. So there is individual, family, clan and finally national salawa that must be accounted for in all aspects of life an…

I heard a news story that Trump's tweets were being flagged if they failed a fact check. So for the first time in my life, I logged into Twitter and looked at 45's twitter feed; I wanted to see what these "flagged" tweets looked like. I could not find a single one. But what I did discover is that 45 tweets a lot, I mean a heck of a lot. I was also surprised to see that half the people that follow AALBC also follow 45. Why do so many of us follow 45 on Twitter? Below is a screen grab from yesterday's tweets. This does not include his retweets or all of the tweets he made that day. The engagement is off the charts. Who knows how much revenue this is crea…

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I want to take a second to spoil your appetite with a bite of the truth. While we have our sights set on the KKK, Right-wing fanatics, Trump and others who thrive on trying to harm us, we are barking up the wrong tree because no one is in a better position to kill us than white scientists who want us dead as much as the KKK. While we have been asleep at the wheel, there are scientists who are experimenting with RNA Interference Technology. It has been around for a minute in the use of crops, but now with a bit of tweaking, scientisst have discovered a way to isolate certain genes and to insert these genes into other or…

Do you think @Greg is a Black fool or a White racist?

Ethiopia & Haiti in the News-Demonstrations About three (3) weeks ago, millions of Ethiopians and Eritreans, and other Habesha people went to the streets to protest. Apparently, about a month or so ago, military forces from America under the Biden administration and military forces of several other countries all over the world were deployed to the Horn of Africa to make a show of force to help in a major civil crisis over there in which millions of people have died recently. I’ve heard little bits and pieces about this supposedly, horrible crisis that some experts describe as a genocidal event. However, only a few weeks ago, I heard that somehow, peace has…

At age 10 my daughter had a school report to do based on a famous person. She likes to be different, try and be original. She decided on Hattie McDaniel. Not much material available at the time. This before the internet. Daughter ask the librarian and the Librarian came through and ordered a book, McDaniels biography. Traveling through Colorado we visited sites where McDaniel grew up. A brutal weather conditions area settled by freed slaves. That's a story in itself. The report a success. Another subject considered was Spencer Williams. Actor that played Andy in the controversial Amos and Andy T…

@frankster I'm not sure why you would find the concept of "degrees of Blackness" so much more divisive. It's not like AfroAmerica hasn't ALREADY been divided since it's inception by degrees of Blackness. Most mixed and light skinned people have historically enjoyed privileges that the majority of our people weren't privy to, whether they asked for those privileges or not. In the past most mixed and light skinned people saw themselves not only as different than other AfroAmericans but in many ways BETTER than other AfroAmericans. Today this isn't so much the case AS MUCH as it was in the past...but it's still there in many circles. Infact, many AfroAmer…

https://www.reuters.com/world/india/central-banks-track-4th-year-massive-gold-purchases-metals-focus-says-2025-06-05/ Most investors encourage clients to buy stocks and bonds and other financial instruments. As the dollar and other paper currencies fluctuate in value, seems it would make sense to weight a financial portfolio with a significant amount of gold since it is global currency. Billionaires and millionaires are weighted in dollars or whatever currency their countries use. We never hear about how much of that wealth is held in gold. Increasing personal gold reserves isn't preached at a drum beat by financial investo…

He is the master of everyman who has the power over the things which another person wishes, the power to confer them on him or take them away. Whoever then wishes to be free let him neither wish for anything nor avoid anything which depends on others: if he does not observe this rule, me must be a slave. Epictetus

can it really be considered acting for a fat,unruly,sassy, loud-mouth, black woman to play EXACTLY what she is? lets be honest, mo'nique was just "gettin black", nothing more. let me see this overweight sow play an 16th century english princess, then ill see if she can act. but until then she was really did nothing more in the film then be herself. im sure "white hollywood" loves giving black folks awards for playing sterotypes to a tee. you should be proud mo'nique (what a JOKE!)

i'v been in two or more placements, and one of them were owned by a African American Mr Herbert, it was scaffner in steelton, they did things on black history day, we went to the blacks wax museum, had a dinner and all of us young people were doing skits and plays on African American culture. and i don't know if you ever did this at school or talked about it, but a couple of kids pretended to be a African American leader and told us about them, it was nice.

@Pioneer1 and @Kalexander2 has been going at it pretty regularly for a few months now. I was just wondering what others (lurkers please chime in) thought about it. Is it entertaining, destructive, boring, an shame, funny, sad, or something else? I'm really very curious to read what others think. Battles like this are not uncommon indeed when there were more participants they were more frequent, though not as usually as protracted. The last ongoing battle was between Cynique and another poster. I maintained a hands off approach until the other poster wrote something that was really beyond the pale (at least in my book), so I deleted the offending post. The …

Are hustlers more Black than nerds?

While everyone watches the reality show based on this president, behind the scenes an authoritarian rule is being pushed onto the courts. As a result, the concept of freedom is going to deteriorate in America long after this president is gone. Trump, with support from the Republican Senate, and help from Senate Democrats, are stacking the U.S. courts in favor of conservative ideology and their idea of the rule of law. This means there will be more restrictions on civil rights. Heres More About That

Remember when Oscar Grant was executed by that BART cop (Oakland) on New Year's Eve 2008-09? The cop served only 11 months in prison. Three months later, March 2009, Lovelle Mixon of Oakland killed four cops with an AK-47 (and shot another cop that survived). Fast forward 17 months to August 2010. Omar Thornton said (paraphrasing) in the 911 call, "this place is racist, so I handled the problem myself." He was referring to a beer company he did deliveries for. He pulled out two pistols and shot like eight white people at work. At least seven were killed if I remember right. He deliberately did not shoot any black people working there. You can read about Mauric…
