Malcolm X debates Evie Rich (a Black woman who is from CORE) on WCAU Radio in 1961. The argument resonates today. The National is (was) 100% against "interracial" marriage. Rich is married to a white man and hearing her speak about being married to a white man in the context of 1961 America rubs me the wrong way... I can't help it... She said she was as in touch with the so called negro is almost laughable. When Malcolm talks about the importance of land. I agree with him. When Rich disputed him see made it seems as if any educated person would know that this is not true. Neither provided their point but Malcolm's make more sense to me. …

@Cynique after reading about your experience missing the movie Us. You don't know how lucky you were. I saw that movie this afternoon and is was the sorriest film I can recall seeing on the little or big screen. We went to see it last night, and the 9 p.m. show was sold out -- in suburban Tampa no less! We went this afternoon instead. It was simply boring. I almost walked out. The only thing that stopped me was the belief that the film could not possibly be so bad to the end. surely something was going to happen. The reveal was obvious, totally underwhelming, and poorly executed. Lupito's fine acting could not make up for an ridiculously i…

From Adam...to Noah....to the Children of Yacub (Israel) in Babylon............ The Old Testament books of the Bible are just a compilation of the early exploits of the Caucasian race....especially in the Middle East. It starts off with a group of Beings (Us/We) making Adam. Adam is not the first man; he's the first Caucasian. And you follow the journey of him and his descendants as they interact with the Original peoples of the planet that they came across for time spans of thousands of years. "Thus we come to CONQUER in the name of our Lord!"

My constant disagreements and even arguments with Cynique, Delano, frankster, and even Troy on occasion as well as a few others over the years has got me thinking about what the problem could be. While not knowing what's EXACTLY in other people's heads, I'm certain that they are SINCERE in their opinions and assertions...just as I tend to be with mine. As many of you can tell, I DO like debating from time to time....lol...but actually I'd rather agree with and have my ideas supported MOST of the time rather than constantly having to defend them. I'd rather save my debating and arguing for the racist Caucasians and dysfunctional Black people. However unlike a…

The leadership is worried about protests. There is no reason for food shortages anywhere on this planet. Nobody should ever go hungry or be homeless either.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/05/trump-religious-right-republicans POTUS OJ spoke at the 2026 National Prayer Breakfast. He rambled on in his style for about 1 hour & 15 minutes. POTUS OJ mused about whether or not he'll make it into heaven. He doesn't believe he will but thinks he should because he's done a lot of good for people. Then, POTUS OJ goes on a 10-minute rant about the US military & bragged about its lethality. A National Prayer Breakfast is not the setting where people brag about their ability to kill others. Yet, while both parties were at the Breakfast, nobody in attendance s…

Of course I’m not saying that women don’t deserve equal rights. I believe they do. What I am saying is: in the course of creating the major cultural changes required to give women equal rights to men, the “traditional” roles of men and women, within the family structure, was cast aside without a suitable alternative structure being put in place. As a result, the family, more importantly the father's role in it, has been undermined. The result is what we see today. This is not a problem limited to Black folks, but given the additional challenges we face the effects are much more severe. Man’s role as head of the family, with the mother providing support to the ma…

Hi Everybody, Yes, naughty girl that I am, - I've been sent to the corner. Can you believe that?? Seriously, I would just like to take this opportunity to thank Troy Johnson for bestowing on me the honor of re-naming this forum after me. I am very grateful and humbled. I guess persistency pays off, huh? I've been hangin’ around this site for years, ranting and debating and pontificating and, hopefully, informing. I’ve made friends and enemies and have also learned a lot from a broad specturm of regulars who have come and gone and who still offer occasional input. It’s been enlightening and stimulating and a pass time that has kept me young and viable, so I really ap…

I am so tired of hearing certain stereotypes on African Americans like All black people like water melon, this might be true but do you really know why it originated, because back in slavery times black people were only allowed some meals, like, water melon, rice and bread. it fills them up, other thing like fried chicken is apart of the traditional African American meal, such as Fried chicken black eyed peas and corn bread. and people think that all African Americans use improper language and that they sag their pants but i don't think so, because there also Caucasians who try to do the same thing! but there are African Americans who can quote the dictionary. JUST SAYIN…

NFL Hall of Famer, Jim Brown , gives the best definition of racism I've heard. I completely agree with this definition—particularly from the perspective of a bookseller and someone who celebrates Black culture. You see, we typically do not value anything that we create unless it has the white cosign (validation). We don't value our writers unless they write for a white publication, we don't value our books unless that have been published by a white-owned publisher and have been acclaimed by the white media or some white-owned institution. Of course, in today's economy, there are those who seek white validation because that is where the money is, But t…

This video speak to why I can't get all wrapped up into the Black Panther hype. I was not familiar with all the background and the Jewish influence in defining Black culture which is notion a reject on every level -- even when it comes in the forum of Black Panther. The speaker, Todd Steven Burroughs, Marvel’s Black Panther: A Comic Book Biography, From Stan Lee to Ta-Nehisi Coates, Reginald Hudlin's and the other Black writers impact was positive and has somewhat weakened my aversion to embracing the World of Wakanda. I still ain't doing no Wakandan salute.

The ultimate goal is to be practical. In Vodun we use these cycles, rituals, gatherings and so forth to make our lives better and to facilitate the destruction to our eternal enemy, the caucasian. When, for example, we go sit with our ancestors at their shrine, we ask for the destruction of caucasian culture while at the same time looking for the preservation and safety of our people. We ask for this when we summon the hun and other spirits. African culture in general is full and developed. This means there are methods used to maintain harmony in times of peace, and methods used for the destruction of our enemies (caucasians, sellout African people, i.e. traitors, kwk). T…

Those who have rarely been the target of organized police gangsterism are once again lecturing those who have about how best to respond to it. Be peaceful, they implore, as protesters rise up in Minneapolis and across the country in response to the killing of George Floyd. This, coming from the same people who melted down when Colin Kaepernick took a knee — a decidedly peaceful type of protest. Because apparently, when white folks say, “protest peacefully,” we mean “stop protesting.” Read the entire article by Tim Wise. https://medium.com/@timjwise/violence-never-works-really-e0af884c03b4

It is a psychological norm for individuals to not empathize with issues that do not affect them. History is often written by those who win in battle or conquer the minds of a population. America and much of this world have had a one-sided telling of history that is perpetuated into society. The victims of this perspective have been the descendants of Africa and other indigenous people around the world. We do not know how the Continent would have been if not interfered with. However, what if a new paradigm was created where Africa and its nations maintain a global superiority on this Earth? "BlackWash: The Untold Stories of Reverse Racism" produces this narrati…

This question is in reaction to @Pioneer1's conversation where he asked the question, "Who among you have had DIRECT experience with and/or DIRECT communication with a Higher Power than human beings?" Speaking directly to a higher power would also be considered miraculous. Do you believe in miracles? I think many of us do. I was talking to a someone who related the story of how they prayed over a friend who was at death's door and the person survived -- a miracle to everyone involved. Some would say that survival of any ADOS in this country is a miracle. A great many people have prayed for our survival indeed it is a cliche to sa…

Smiley and West poverty tour draws criticism, support 12 august 2011 Talk show host Tavis Smiley and academic activist Cornel West embarked last week on a poverty tour to highlight growing inequality in the U.S. Both West and Smiley are vocal critics of President Obama's policies. The bus tour, which expects to stop in 16 cities, opened in Chicago on August 6. It seeks to address the failure of Washington's leaders to confront an across-the-board growth in poverty but particularly among African Americans. Dr. West, who claims the tour is not anti-Obama, in an interview on BET said, "Tavis Smiley and I had been talking for a year about how to dramat…

What is it that she said that was not factual? Does offense to truth change truth into anything other than what it is? For those who did not hear what she actually said, it is here: An interview with Helen Thomas about the backlash she received about her comments about Israel.

I’m a member of the City University of New York's (CUNY) adjunct faculty and I make poverty wages 😞 I was surprised to discover when I started teaching that most of the classes my students take are taught by "adjuncts" (part time professors who teach a class or two and are typically only on campus during those times). When I was in undergraduate school all of my professors were full-time professors with PhDs in the disciplines they taught. This is not to say that an adjunct can't teach well -- I'm sure most do especially those with real-world experience or who are retried full-time faculty, but campus life does suffer for the students, because ad…

It was horrific what happened to George Floyd!! I understand the anger and anxiety of the protesters and it is interesting to see white folks protesting with us. This nonsense has been going on for a long time. What triggered whites to finally "appear" to wake up? Well, in my opinion, we as black people need to bring up other issues while we have all this media attention. Gentrification and job discrimination!!!! White Degeneracy tactics are raising property taxes in black neighborhoods, raising the rents and therefore forcing black people to leave. Who moves in? WHITE FOLKS! So...all these white people who protests at our sides go back to their li…

All over the internet a lot of AfroAmericans in the conscious community are claiming that a 21 year old "beat" Roland Martin in an interview and clowned him on his own show. I decided to check the interview out and judge for myself who out-did who. Here's the interview that so many people are talking about: While King Randall is a very intelligent and ambitious young man who I think has a bright future, his youth and inexperience with the world shows in this interview. Roland does indeed "school" the young brother on the importance of voting and politics in general in my opinion.
