The media conveniently glossed over that Ruffin's father was a cop in the precinct he was picked up in. His father who was estranged from him at that time. His father who pushed his own son to go against his not guilty plea. https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2579&type=status

Black Women and Fat By ALICE RANDALL Published: May 5, 2012 FOUR out of five black women are seriously overweight. One out of four middle-aged black women has diabetes. With $174 billion a year spent on diabetes-related illness in America and obesity quickly overtaking smoking as a cause of cancer deaths, it is past time to try something new. The was a very popular article as illustrated by the tracking on the bit.ly link tracking (which is justr a subset of the social media lift https://bitly.com/Ix8Vh2+ Most of the conversation online was in reaction, to the reaction, to the article.

i'm having a cynical reaction to how the term "God" is being bandied about in the ongoing discussion about religion and science. Some people obviously think Christianity has a monopoly on god, having based its religion on someone calling himself the son of god. Judaism says, "not so". Islam stammers "maybe". Inscrutable Oriental gurus and swamis and lamas have their own version of god in keeping with their cultures and philosophies. The ancient Greeks figured, "By Jove, we'll create mythical gods for every situation!" The Romans chimed in with a "Sounds like a great idea!" God is moreorless a generic term co-opted by groups who have turned mysterious forces in…

The promise of Facebook was to create a more open and connected world. But from the company’s failure to protect millions of users’ data, to the proliferation of “fake news” and disinformation, mounting crises have raised the question: Is Facebook more harmful than helpful? https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/facebook-dilemma/ Frontline has engaged in some old fashioned investigative journalism. If you regularly use Facebook these videos should be required viewing. I just watched the first episode and the things Facebook are knowingly doing exceeds my worse fears. I will delete -- not just suspend -- but delete my account as a result of w…

What the general public is unaware of and needs to come to terms with is that there is no room for information which cannot be proven in the world of historical research. History is a science. 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. It is this method which I used for determining the character of Christopher Columbus and charging him with crimes against the Indian people of the West Indies. This article is the product of records which will clearly point out, that from the very beginni…

This video gives much information that has never been given by media/books here. Fidel Castro is demonized by the US, but let it not be forgotten (or let it be learned) that Cuba played a critical role in the ending of South Afriican apartheid. Cuba fought against apartheid while the US supported apartheid. Cuba's troops were, on more than one occasion, sent to the continent of Africa to help those who were fighting against imperialist forces. Imagine Cuba's support of and America's opposition to the right to self-determination. (I know that's hard to imagine for many...) Supporting the right to self-determination is the epitome of humanitarianism. The support of the righ…

Every since the end of the Civil War/Reconstruction, political parties have always have had to make the choice between egalitarian interests(civil rights) and states rights (exclusive rights). This is something that both Democrats and Republicans have always been aware of this at different points in their history. Today, the Democratic Party is the progressive pro equal rights party. But, this has not always been the case. From Andrew Jackson to Woodrow Wilson, the Democrats were pro states rights, pro slavery, pro Civil War, and pro Jim Crow. From Reconstruction to 1960's Civil Rights Movement most Southerners voted Democrat because they blamed the Re…

Greetings from Detroit. Dr. Beth Fowler at Wayne State University is writing a book about rock and roll's influence on racial attitudes during the 50s and 60s.

In round 2, I explained something that caused confusion. I quote in Round 2 @KENNETH I do not oppose reparations or renaissance.

I merely go into detail after. good afternoon @Soulsonsix yes, i want to only add we have a happiness foundation elsewhere.

https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/nottoway-louisiana-plantation-burned-rcna207810 The Nottoway Plantation in White Castle, Louisiana has burned up. It was the largest antebellum mansion in the south. Of course, it's been a long time since 150 Black folks were enslaved at Nottoway. Surely, none of the descendants will be shedding tears over the destroyed structure. The owners claim they're going to rebuild it. Hopefully, they won't be able to do it and haven't salvaged any relics or memorabilia from the past. Good riddance.😎

Facebook recently banned a little old lady and that reminded me of the regular emails I get from Facebook rejecting innocuous books that I've place on their site. Below are a few examples. This is not to say Facebook should not ban things, but it seems to me when it comes to Black things (people and books in this case) that their algorithm is pretty aggressive against us. Algorithms created by young white boys are inherently racist. I've mention many times how Google's algorithm coupled with their monopoly on search has distorted our images, killed Black websites, and severely hampered this one for several years. This will only get …

This is going to be more like an essay than post. So, it is going to be in two parts. I apologize for the length. Black people have spent most of their history in this country fighting racism and white supremacy. For over 200 years (1619-1863), we were slaves. If you were from the South, you experienced almost another 100 years of Jim Crow after The Civil War/Reconstruction, which consisted of segregation and sharecropping. It has just only been 60 years since blacks have not been considered second-class citizens. But, have…

Arizona Governor says Police can Begin Enforcing Immigration law By Paloma Esquivel and John M. Glionna / Los Angeles Times | Tuesday, June 26, 2012 | http://www.bostonherald.com | West PHOENIX — Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer called it "a victory for the rule of law." But for police chiefs, Monday’s U.S. Supreme Court decision upholding the so-called "show me your papers" provision of SB 1070, the state’s immigration law, looks like a big headache. Arizona may now require officers to ask for proof of legal status of people they stop for other reasons and suspect to be in the country illegally. State law enforcement officials said the decision immediately made …

In the book of Leviticus chapter twenty verse 6, God commands the children of Israel not to go after familiar spirits. The Hebrew definition of a familiar spirit is a wizard, a one who practices sorcery. One of the spells that a familiar spirit cast is to mix truth with falsehood. African slaves who were brought to America, the Caribbean and their descendants have been victims of familiar spirits. The “Slave Bible”, was a familiar spirit manifested in the physical form. A sinister plot was put into motion by the publishers of the ‘”Slave Bible” to carefully remove certain chapters from the bible while others remained, thus giving the illusion that the “Slave Bible” was o…
