    From time to time I review the queries that drive traffic to the website. Once such query is for the term "PAWG." I was unfamiliar with the term and searched for it until I found my my site (an earlier version of Thumper's Corner) where I found this conversation: Black men do you ignore PAWGS? Cynique, I'd actually forgotten how wild y'all used to get I miss those days...before the corporate take over of the net. Can you image a conversation like that on, say, Facebook today? Assuming you got past the sensors and the prudes, it is still technically impossible because of the restrictions on what people are permitted to do social media. There is so much le…

    Sandra Bland is the latest casualty in the war between black motorists and white cops. Not surprising, a highway in Texas was the battle ground for a confrontation between a pesky black woman who bugged a white patrol officer, a face-off that eventually led to the arrested woman being found hanged in her jail cell under suspicious circumstance. The sad, stark lesson to be learned from this incident is that you have to humor cops, Carrying a gun does not sufficiently stroke their egos. They need submissiveness to reinforce their need for control. When you thwart their aggressiveness, you disarm them. In this battle of mind games, you triumph. The prize is your survival. J…

White Supremacy 2. Black stupidity I focus a lot of my time talking about White Supremacy, but not AS much discussing Black stupidity. First, what IS "stupidity"? Being stupid is more than just lacking education or knowledge. That's simply being IGNORANT and it can be corrected by being provided with proper information if your intelligence is NORMAL. Stupidity is LOW INTELLIGENCE.....meaning you have a low ABILITY TO EVEN LEARN. Even when information is presented to you,…

And for those who conduct historical research seriously and treat it as a science, gather historical documents, news articles, journals, court cases, diaries, letters, and reference sources all of which their conclusions are based.

He also helped found Radio Free Dixie which was broadcast out of Cuba, where he lived in exile for e time, and could be heard all over the south, NY and LA.

In other words he's becoming preoccupied with winning another 4 years to chase his tail. The claim is constantly being made that racism is what is thwarting Obama's effectiveness as President. I most certainly agree. Which is why he shouldn't run for a second term. It'll just be more of the same. If he truly cares about change, he should take on a differen…

  50. Technology and Falling Literacy Rates Are Writing an End to Black-Owned Bookstores by Frederick H. Lowe The number of African-American-owned bookstores has dropped significantly since the late 1970s and 1980s due to a variety of factors, including corporate control of the Internet, waning literacy and fiscal mismanagement. In the 1970s and 1980s, more than 1,000 black-owned bookstores were in business in the United States. Now only slightly more than 100, possibly 116 to 117, if that many, remain open, according to Troy Johnson, founder of the African American Literature Book Club (AALBC.com), which is based in New York.
