The Only One Chapter 19 Chicago's summers were always slow in coming, mainly because its cold winters were so reluctant to defer to the tentative little episodes that passed for spring. But somehow the luke warm Junes showed up, hinting at better days ahead when July caught fire and August waited in the wings. Weather aside, the passing months had been a productive time for Carole Everly, a period of growth and change. And the first thing change involved, was realizing that she needed to stop making book covers the parameters of her world, needed to cease relying on fiction to escape reality. So, getting up off her ass and becoming a more active participant in…

If you are a reader wondering why it seems harder to discover good websites, or you run website or Blog that writes about authors or books you need to read this article. The Pimping of Wikipedia: Contributing to the Decline of the World Wide Web The mid- and late 1990s was an exciting time for the Web because so much new, rarely shared, or difficult-to-access information was now accessible. Today, there is more reason for concern, outrage even, than there is for excitement. The reasons are plentiful. One reason is the pimping of Wikipedia. (the full article: http://aalbc.it/pimpwiki) )

Damn. I ask myself why am I’m so negative. And my answer is because it‘s hard to stay positive. My idealism was long ago usurped by my cynicism thanks to the impact of realism. Everyday new headlines fuel my frustration over how things are, instead of how they should be. Everything is just so haywire. So fucked up. So disgusting. How can people retain their faith when trouble is rampant and their prayers for the world to get better go unanswered. Justice is certainly elusive, whether it allows George Zimmerman to go free while Trayvon Martin rots in his grave, whether it penalizes struggling loan-strapped college students while granting the war mongering Military a…

How do we begin the process of seeking justice for all people, focusing on the people at the bottom first? What think tanks are focusing on solving this world problem, mistreating people, especially people with color in their skin?

THE ARCHEOLOGY OF NOAH: The Chinese NAMI Team Part one It was only a few years ago that the movie theaters featured another film about Noah, the ark and the Great World Flood to draw in the big bucks and for other profitable reasons. Not only that but in Kentucky, a major theme park has just opened recently on July 7, 2016 called Ark Encounter, a massive financial project whereby, a giant vessel was constructed on the same scale detailed in the Holy Bible and, it has become a major tourist attraction. What better way to cover up the truth and to continue to draw the attention away from the real historical facts that surrounds the Biblical account in respe…

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…

I want to thank those who have been reaching out in response to the first post about salawa looking for more information. We've gotten some emails but I encourage you all to go ahead and join this forum in spite of the interactions you saw with other members. It will be good to see a healthy and positive dialogue on the subject of Vodun. I'm still working on part 2 but it's taking longer than I thought because of my schedule and because it's a little more involved than part one. I'm working on it though. On to this post's topic. The sciences of studying the cosmos and recognizing which deities, (called Hun pronounced "hoon" in Aja language) as we…

AFRICAN AMERICANS DON'T GAZE ON IT!--DIRECT YOUR FOCUS How do you encourage young people during a time like this!? One thing I know for sure though, is that it is absolutely NOT good to continue to look at the video and images of DEATH and DYING especially of the recent horrific deaths of a young man in Georgia and of the Gentle Giant George Floyd that was filmed. EXERCISE SELF CONTROL. That's how I directed my sons a few days ago. DO NOT WATCH THOSE VIDEOS but certainly some one needs to watch them who is spiritually strong enough to deal with these issues. Look at the script, news reports occasionally but don't obsess on what has…

The content below is from a press release about what Dr. Sebi says about race, culture and black identity in a new book. All comments about the book and this post are welcome. Botanist and natural healer Dr. Sebi put his memoir on hold to collaborate with author Beverly Oliver on a project focused on health, race, family and culture and how to cross over from deep-rooted, life-threatening practices to acceptance and wellness. He named this process “dembali.” Dr. Sebi Speaks of Dembali: Crossing Over from Dis-Ease to Ease in Matters of Health, Race, Family, and Culture is the latest release by Oliver. Part memoir, part social commentary, the book is reminiscent …

A lot of this is based off of state Representatives Ed Vaughn and Henry Stallings opinions back in the '90s. It increases black representation demographically and politically. The more people who are considered black, the more unified the support of what is left of such causes like as equals rights, affirmative action, and voting rights since they are under attack by the Supreme Court and state Republican legislators across the country. Many pro civil rights figures in the past have been light skinned such as State Representative Adam Clayton Powell Jr and Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. Walter White,…

Black Immigrant Contestants in the Miss America Pageant 2025 Black Immigrant Contestants in the Miss America Pageant 2025 On the subject of immigration, I thought it was interesting that a few of the Black contestants of this years Miss America pageant were immigrants. In my opinion, it seems to me that this was the ultimate goal, anyway of America from its origin. This government formed in a land that was well inhabited and from the beginning, they intended on setting up an immigrant government after violently killing off many innocent peoples. This government justified killing off millions of American Indians for various reasons that today …

He is the reason Miles Davis brought electric instruments into Jazz. His music was a cornerstone of Hip-Hop music. He inspired countless artists and musicians. He was truly a musical pioneer.

Watch the trailer for Shahadah's new film, Motherland. And get an earful of this song from the soundtrack, "Come Into The Sunshine," by Shahadah's band, Ocacia. I don't know who that woman is, but what a voice! The documentary features commentary by a host of prominent Africans and Americans, including Jacob Zuma, Meles Zenawi, Molefi Kete Asante, and Harry Belafonte. According to Wikipedia, Shahadah filmed an interview with Desmond Tutu but edited out the remarks of the Nobel Peace Prize winner after Tutu said President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe should be forced out of office if he won't leave. Don't know if I trust Wikipedia on that one -- Tutu said that 15 m…

Today is not only August 18, 2010, but is also my 77th birthday! I can't believe I've been around this long. How things have changed and progressed since that sunny afternoon in 1933 when the doctor whose office was where my Daddy worked as a part-time janitor, hurried to the home of my parents and kept his promise to deliver his employee's baby instead of paying him his measely salary that week. With my mom's best friend, who was a nurse, in attendance, I was delivered at home, - like a whole lot of other "depression era" babies. I weighed in at 9lbs, - surprising since for most of the rest of my life I was thin. Over the years, I've been a witness to a lot of histo…

In light of the story in the news about the teen in Calumet City (shot and killed by police after his mother called the police to assist her in dealing with him ), I wonder why people are calling the police in these cases to begin with. Maybe it's just me but I would think that the police would be the LAST people a black family should call to help with an out of control teen - especially a boy. I always thought it was common knowledge in our community that the police couldn't be trusted and that if you did end up having to call them, be prepared to be treated like a criminal, even if you're the one needing help. But I'm starting to hear more and more about people ca…

Less than 30 minutes ago I sent an email (the entire message is at the end of this post) to my entire mailing list. Anyone one who knows me is familiar with the theme. What makes this issue different is that it does not just deal with Black book sites; it deals with the entire Black owned World Wide Web and how little of it we own and control. Even I was alarmed because I'm having difficulty finding 50 websites with a meaningful level of traffic. What is so striking is that we spending so much time hyping the benefits of social media and we have completely overlooked our ownership. This is like bragging about how warm and comfortable Massa's house while mo…

Makayla and Canisha This satanic CAVE MAN shot those two young ladies because he was RACIST and they were AFROAMERICAN......that's the truth. It had NOTHING to do with whether or not he loved children or them witnessing a murder. That's just a SPIN the media is trying to put on it to take his racist motives OUT of the picture. But notice how despite killing his own wife, shooting 2 other females, and STILL shooting inside the house when the police arrived....he was able to "surrender" without having a scratch on him! Same situation with Killer Kyle Rittenhouse and Dylan Roof....arrested and detained without a scratch.

This is going on right now. Today. I was reading in The Black Count by Tom Reiss about how Blacks in Africa sold other Blacks and how in the Caribbean Free Blacks helped capture Black Slaves and put down slave rebellion. My questions are “Will there be an effort to reconcile these issues in the quest for reparations?” And “What are Blacks in America do to stop the current Slavery which is going on?”

Of course, this does not indicate any type of friendship between them. However, it does show they belong to the same fraternity. Former FLOTUS Michelle Obama was absent. She was in Hawaii handling other business. The media didn't make too big a deal about it. All five (5) POTUS were in attendance at National Cathedral yesterday.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but if Bill Gates tried to secretly slip his wife drugs to treat her for an STD he contracted -- these billionaires are capable of anything.

Shown below, is an actual letter that was sent to a bank by an 86 year old woman. The bank manager thought it amusing enough to have it published in the New York Times. Dear Sir: I am writing to thank you for bouncing my check with which I endeavored to pay my plumber last month. By my calculations, three nanoseconds must have elapsed between his presenting the check and the arrival in my account of the funds needed to honor it.. I refer, of course, to the automatic monthly deposit of my entire pension, an arrangement which, I admit, has been in place for only eight years. You are to be commended for seizing that brief window of opportu…

The World Wide Web (WWW) has been in a constant state of change since it became available to the general public in the early 1990's. I've had a web presence since 1995. I really can't imagine how the typical 20 year old can possibility understand a pre-WWW world. Things have improved so remarkably and quickly it is almost incomprehensible. There are two trends that I have noticed lately that are adversely effecting the nature of the WWW Large multinational corporate websites are beginning to dominate over independent websites. This is not a bad thing in and of itself. The alarming thing is that the big sites are able to accomplish this with bullshit content and a…
