Well, obviously because we, African American DOS (Descendants Of Slaves), come from different countries in Africa and etc. and it would take three (3) North American continents to fit inside the huge continent of Africa, this would be a huge task to narrow down for a complete answer. But this would be a quest for so many of us to find completion because of our ancestors being displaced from their origins and that has ultimately left many of us disconnected. Like the many viral stories that have high ratings on television shows that feature accounts of how people have been in search and then reunited to their birth parents after being adopted from birth, this subject of kn…

PICTURES of EARLY CAUCASIAN~ ORIGINS from EGYPT & NORTH AFRICA!? I think this topic fits the title CULTUE-RACE-ECONOMY because it does hint at some possible deep roots that someone might relate to now or later. This would not be the correct term, ‘CAUCASIAN’, in my opinion, to understand the geographical and historical truth, and this would be a broad term. And here in America, it exclusively refers to Europeans (especially ‘White’ Europeans), but this term happens to define a much different people in the past. It would also take a lot of research to uncover the complete truth. But firstly, some picture references may help to show how re…

Scientists Say They've Found The Driver of False Beliefs, And It's Not a Lack of Intelligence This is why some people are so confident in their "facts".

Lord, help us. Pioneer is now shielding himself behind a new avatar, one that brings to mind a biblical patriarch. Guess he figures he needs a make-over to dispel the devilishness that has recently burnished his aura. I always did say he had a "Messianic Complex", and now he's representing himself with a image he probably hopes will bring to mind a black Moses parting the Red Sea and leading his people to the promised land, - a far cry from the reality of his actually muddying the waters and misleading his tribesmen to the dead sea of Pseudo-Africanism. 😀 =

Author Roland S. Jefferson, MD shared this with me a few moments ago. I have never seen this and the first few minutes look good: "In 1968 ABC filmed a 30 minute documentary on musical prodigy Aretha Franklin. It is notable for the rarely seen interviews with her father, her husband, and producers. Importantly it features candid peeks behind the scenes that reveal how Aretha conceived and developed her approach to songs. And of course to watch the mesmerizing impact of her voice on the teens of the day is priceless. At your leisure, I encourage you to take the time to watch this amazing icon at the height of her youth. Enjoy!" --Roland S. Jefferson

I heard about this on the radio this morning and went to look for the video. I said to myself how bad can it be? But after looking that the video any man reading this knows the "Bishop" knew exactly what he was doing. If he behaves like this during a high profile funeral -- a FUNERAL -- I and can't image what this guy does with attractive women, in his congregation, who revere him. I normally try to ignore "news" like this, but my curiosity got the best of me; I'm only human. So CBS got me to look at and share their video. I guess there are worse things I could be doing -- like fondling the beasts of young women. @harry brown, you …

How could anyone leave a baby in a hot car and go about their business?They either got something wrong with their mind or just plain "sorry". In this state where I live,I've counted approximately 5 incidences where the policeman sometimes a person passing by had to break in the car and rescue the child.Now you know that parent is just wrong. If you can punish someone for leaving a dog in a hot car, how come you can't punish someone for leaving a baby in a hot car? And how come they wait until it's hot to start this dumbass s__t? You don't hear of children freezing to death when it's cold. When someone has to break in a car to …

RED MOON & BLACK FRIDAY~ Cultural Festival~ Cultural Origins SEPTEMBER 11 ANNUAL NEW YEAR FESTIVAL I suppose because of an upcoming New Year Festival in a few days, it could be a good opportunity to show research about certain holidays observed over here in America that correlate to these past origins in Africa. On this upcoming SEPTEMBER 11, Ethiopian Jews will celebrate its’ New Year and, I suppose this would be especially significant for them after experiencing a Blood Moon; TOTAL LUNAR ECLPSE on this past July 27, 2018, that lasted over Ethiopia for three (3) hours.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Anyone paying attention to detail may have noticed I don't use our president's name. However the psychopath may actually do us some good. Reuters reported yesterday: "White House probes Google after Trump accuses it of bias." The man actually has a point -- seriously. I noticed this several years ago as Google out ranked negative information about Zane and Terry Mcmillan over their accomplishments. While I'm trying to learn more about their work as writers Google is shoving all the negative stuff they can find about these sisters in my face -- information I'd argue should be private. At any rate,…

JAY Z & the KALIEF BROWDER STORY I never keyed in on this story about Kalief Crowder until I began to research about Jay Z and Beyonce’s sacrifices in their bringing forth the Trayvon Martin Story. But, because this story about Kalief maybe regarded as ‘old news’ in this community and based on what has been aired, however, I would like to take a hard-right turn though and ask some questions and make some conclusions that may lead to solutions not yet considered in this case and the many other cases being reviewed in America on this same wise. In light of this story too, it seems that America would be a system that rewards bad beha…

The last i head, this is supposed to be a free country. And black people above all, are constantly striving to exercise their freedom. Because blacks are not all of one mind, some blacks have a problem when it comes to freedom of appearance. They are luke warm about diversity and want to dictate, judge, and criticize the choices of certain other blacks who resist the herd mentality of black brain washing that can be as restraining as white control. These Afro-centric vigilants, awash in their patented rhetoric, have taken on the role of deciding how black women, in particular, are obligated to look, and they are perfectly comfortable with imposing their …

I attended the Mississippi Book Festival this past Saturday. It was held in Jackson, MS. Like most cities in the deep south it is a series of profound contradictions. You'll find both moving testaments to civil rights and blatant signs of racism and its legacy. The book fair had a terrific line up of authors: I got so see Charles Frazier, Rick Bragg, and Jon Meacham just to name a few. There were quite a few Black authors of note as well including Jabari Asim, Janet Dewart Bell, Don Tate, Angie Thomas, Nicola Yoon, Quvenzhané Wallis, and many more. The organizers of the festival commissioned the creation of a street marker dedicated to Ward's w…

Americans have really gone overboard in their apparent need to elevate icons to the level of idols who they can drench with adoration. No sooner do we recover from the loss of the Queen of Soul whose death set off an orgy of adulation, than Arizona senator and naval war hero john McCain sails away on a deep sea of accolades, The nation submerged itself in grief, mourning the departure of 2 familiar and beloved figures, treating their deaths as world shattering events that set off weeks-long coverage. Of course the media played its part in turning these events into epics. Regular network programming was interrupted to announce these deaths. Pictures…

While I was at the Mississippi Book Festival, I attended a panel of booksellers. One of the panelists ran a bookstore in what he described as a resort town in Florida, so I looked it up and saw that it was not far out of my way back home. The store, Sundog Books, is located in Seaside, Florida which is in the middle of the Florida panhandle. It is a fine bookstore. The beach in Seaside was the nicest beach I'd ever seen in the continental US -- the entire area was pristine. The water varied in color from deep blue to light green. The sand was cool and fine, almost like power -- simply beautiful. Seaside, FL was also almost exclusively white. I …

I have never visited 45's Twitter page before 2 minutes ago. There was not need to mainstream and social media shovel 45's tweets as if the were in a race to be the first to share his BS. 7 minutes ago 45 tweeted the following: I was on the New York Times website, while reading a completely unrelated article about the Supreme Court's decision which changes the rules of the collection of sales tax by online retailers. Inside the article the Times included a tweet by Trump applauding the decision (which tells me this must be a bad decision for business like mine). This is what prompted me to visit 45's page 45 has over 53 million followe…
