Culture, Race & Economy

Ok @richardmurray let me see if I got this straight...... Among Black people, you say there are 2 main "tribes" here in the U.S. : -The Black "DOSers" -The Black "Statians" Or are there more? Lol.....and which tribe does Cynique aka The Contrarian fit in to?

I started a poll on this subject on Facebook and it is getting a lot of response. Anyone can take the poll even if they are not on Facebook. http://www.sphere.com/politics/artic...quake/19315905 The poll question is: Did Limbaugh Go Too Far With Racial Attack on Obama Over Haiti Poll Link: http://bit.ly/5vGRr7 It is interesting to read the comments as well. Pass this on to as many people as possible. Sometimes these kind of things draw attention and it is a great way to let people know how you feel.

If the Democrats had had a pro drilling stance the Republicans would be running it all up their asses right now. You would see cartoons with Obama covered in oil. They would be blaming it on them and be shouting "Drill Baby Drill every other sentence" The Democrats can't seem to realize they are in a war for power. Knowledge will not do it. Education will not do it. The other side knows the truth, but it ignores it because it knows what it wants and will do anything to get it. It will not end until one side has smashed the other to the ground and is standing there with its foot on the others neck. We are in the same period as late in Weimar Germany--when t…

Shout out to Micheal Vick. What you fans don't know is that on an organization level Philly got all of y'all thinking that they wanted Kolb as the starter. When in reality, it was silent motivation for Mike to reclaim his spot in the NFL as a starter an human hilight film as the signal caller. Since being dropped like a bad habit by Atlanta, the man has gone through hell only few can ever even attempt to imagine. Lost over 100 million dollar in salary in the blink of a eye, public humiliation and even did a stint in the bing and worked construction afte getting released. Damn, Virginia is hurting boy. First, AI then Vick, then Charlie Brown went crazy (Chris …

I'm in mourning for the demise of all the provocative observations from regular members that were posted after January 11th, and were deleted along with the spam that attached itself to them. I guess white racists have to be ever vigilant in reminding Blacks how much contempt they hold for them. I can't imagine black people making a project out of going to a white site and saturating it with hate. We find better things to waste our time on.

ON THE NEWS NEO MILITIA MEMBERS WERE ARRESTED WITH RICIN..THEY WERE GOING TO RELEASE THE RICIN IN WASHINGTON DC.I HAD SAID BEFORE KLAN GROUPS WERE CAUGHT WITH ANTHRAX..ON 60 MINUTES NEWS SHOW, NEO NAZI'S SAID THEY WERE GOING TO MAKE THIS COUNTRY ALL WHITE BY FORCE....MEANWHILE WHILE THEY ARE PLANNING THERE IS NO BLACK UNITY AT ALL.......

(What a mouthfull...) Pity for Poor Africans (1788) William Cowper I own I am shock'd at the purchase of slaves, And fear those who buy them and sell them are knaves; What I hear of thcir hardships, their tortures, and groans Is almost enough to draw pity from stones. I pity them greatly, but I must be mum, For how could we do without sugar and rum? Especially sugar, so needful we see? What? give up our desserts, our coffee, and tea! Besides, if we do, the French, Dutch, and Danes, Will heartily thank us, no doubt, for our pains; If we do not buy the poor creatures, they will, And tortures and groans will be multiplied still…

I would like to share an experience, something that happened to me yesterday during a beautiful summer day, just the kind i love to walk about and revel in, which was what i did, After ending a stroll around my block , i decided i would go sit on the back patio of where i live and contemplate life. I passed my grandson's car parked in the drive way on my way there . After settling into a chair, i sat there, basking in what might be my last summer on this earth because at my age tomorrow is not promised. Gradually, i became immersed in deep thought about life and its meaning and my entrenched resistance to religion. Slowly emerging from my pondering, i…

BBC News London Stephen Lawrence: Murdered teen's father forgives killers The father of murdered teenager Stephen Lawrence says he has forgiven his son's killers, nearly 25 years after the attack. Dr Neville Lawrence the decision had been "one of the hardest things", but he still wanted justice. The murder "opened the country's eyes" to racism, he added. Stephen, 18, was stabbed in an attack by five white youths on 22 April 1993, at a bus stop in south-east London. Two White men were jailed [20 years later]. Not just in America, Blacks are being targeted everywhere.

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 …

This year, I noticed that many television channels both broadcast and cable are coming out with new shows where the cast are predominately made up of AfroAmerican men who are flamboyantly gay, drag queens, and queer. And although you can find gay and transgendered men in ALL races......I've noticed that there are almost NO shows on television featuring a cast predominately made up of gay and transgendered men who are Latino, Jewish, or Native American. I've also noticed at a lot of the George Floyd protests there were a lot of LGBTQIA+ demonstrators and flags attempting to conflate their interests with police brutality and Civil Rights. From observing o…

There are 6 distinct classes in the United States. Aristocratic These are people worth over a billion dollars and are generally out of reach from the public or media. They heavily influence politics and social policy Rich These are people worth over $15 million in assets. They either don't work or don't have to work if they don't want to and can live comfortable off thier savings and interests for the rest of their lives. Usually their children can too. These are usually heirs, major business owners, very successful professionals, entertainers, ect.. Believe it or not education isn't a big factors in this class. …

https://www.npr.org/2022/06/16/1105445493/keisha-lance-bottoms-biden-administration-position-role-atlanta-mayor I knew it was just a matter of time before former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms made her way to DC. Sista Bottoms will be replacing brotha Cedric Richmond as a White House Senior Adviser to POTUS Biden. This appointment will add more experience to Keisha Lance Bottoms' resume for whatever aspirations she may have in the future. Proud of her moving on up. 😎

While having a discussion with Troy in another thread over an answer he got from an Artificial Intelligence search engine, I decided to enter in a few questions of my own like the origins of HIV and Crack cocaine in the U.S. Unless you are in complete denial, you pretty much almost KNOW that both HIV is man-made and that Crack cocaine was introduced to Black America to destabilize it. These are called "Conspiracy Theories" but so much evidence is out there proving them that it's almost ridiculous to deny it and play them off as "co-incidences" at this point. So I used several AI powered search engines to ask these questions just to see what they'd say and they…

The reality is natural resources has always been key to who has and who doesn't have. With the earth having limited resources and the universe having no limit, sooner or later, the technology will allow for battles over resources. Which resource do you think will be more valuable in the future? If you had to invest in the oil/oxygen/sand/carbon outside the earth, which would you choose? https://aalbc.com/tc/events/event/206-economic-corner-20-02262025/

"BigBuck" is having a field day with assorted "member" profiles on this board. Altho he isn't listed as a member, if he has infiltrated your "friend" list, by clicking on to his name you will be exposed to the foul excrement of this racist asshole. At some point, however, all you can do is laugh at this drivel because it's so over-the-top it loses its effect. The President of the United States, who is a man of color, neutralizes these stereotypes, and white trailer park trash rivals them.

When looking at the independence flags of other nations, it is very clear that the colors have deeper meanings.For instance, some colors and their brief representations: Black-the people, gold-the sun, green-the land... Red-the blood of the people, black-the people, green-the land...Black-the people and their vigor, gold-sun/resources, blue-the water.. and so on. These things are taught right along with the meanings of the triangles or bars /stripes that might be on them. The American flag has a certain number of stripes, bars, and stars. Most people in America know the symbolism in this. However, what seems to be vague, what seems to not be taught is the symbol…

Who the heck is "elias gutierrez"? Six of the top 10 Google searches, bringing traffic to my site yesterday was for "elias gutierrez" or some variation of that name. Each time the page from my site returned was one about the life of a famous author Bebe Moore Campbell I went to her page and found out that Bebe's daughter Maia Campbell was married to an Elias Gutierrez. The 1st result on another search on both names was a website called celebrity hook ups. If these are all the same people, Maia is an actress who broke up Elias. But why are all these people looking for elias gutierrez all of a sudden? Bebe Moore Cambell

On a daily basis I see things on my Facebook wall that demonstrates how easily we can be manipulated into believing that something is true, when it should be obvious that it is not. Facebook, for example, has been putting a lot more video on my newsfeed lately. I've started to notice a lot of videos that are clearly fake. However, based upon the comments posted, people believe these fake videos to be true. It is very scary how easily we can be fooled. For example, I saw a video posted by someone I thought was pretty sharp. They used this video to prove how skilled the martial artist Bruce Lee was with nunchucks, which is a weapon made of two, foot-long sticks, co…

I've been hearing so much about the surprise box office hit, "Get Out" written and directed by comedian Jordan Peele, that I actually bestirred myself to go see it. I give it a thumps up! It was quite well done, good acting, great comic relief; a satirical romp with a sly take-away. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I was amused by its off-beat plot.

Troy has made it possible for me to upload images, and requested that I confirm that this feature is working, so while i'm at it, i'm also confirming my credo. Thanks Troy for expanding what i can do.

@Pioneer1, I could not help but think about you as I looked at this photo. Which of your racial buckets would you put this lady? She wrote a book that the New York Times called one of the 100 Most Notable Books of 2017. I'm in the process of making sure that all of the called "Black" writers who earned this recognition have that fact reflected on the website.

Attorney Ben Crump has a new Book coming out in October, called, Open Season, so I'm building content about him for the site. I discovered this video as it related to a shooting here in Florida in which a white man shot a young Brother over parking in a space reserved for the handicapped. The Brother was killed. That situation is sickening enough but if you listen to the entire video you'll hear how Megyn segues from the unjustified killing of an unarmed Black man to her dog that recently died. She broke down in tears. I was listening to the video and I was like WFT is going on?! I "disliked" the video and closed the browser tab as I could not s…

"Let me plant the stake now: No black person — or Hispanic person or ally of people of color — should ever even consider voting for Michael Bloomberg in the primary. His expansion of the notoriously racist stop-and-frisk program in New York, which swept up millions of innocent New Yorkers, primarily young black and Hispanic men, is a complete and nonnegotiable deal killer. Stop-and-frisk, pushed as a way to get guns and other contraband off the streets, became nothing short of a massive, enduring, city-sanctioned system of racial terror. This system of terror exploded under Bloomberg, with his full advocacy and support. In 2002, the fir…

Greetings All! Hoping you and yours are well. I wanted to share that I’ve just released my 5th book, ‘A Pot to Piss In: Intergenerational Wealth Planning for Black People’ and would love to have it included as a book review on your site. With chapters like, ‘The Fallacy of 401(k)s’, ‘Is Education Really the Key or a Lock?’, ‘The History of #BankingWhileBlack’, and ‘#BlackFinancesMatter’, this book will give you a new understanding on strategies to save for retirement, as well as create residual income without taking on a new job, enabling you to leave the Rat Race before falling victim to corporate ageism. Most importantl…

Great Britain says it will maintain close ties to the island nation. Hopefully, Barbados will be allowed to thrive and prosper and not become another Haiti. The Barbadian President-Elect is Sandra Mason. There will be a huge party in the newly independent republic. 😎

A while back I announced that I was divorcing myself from the "black race" because i was weary and disillusioned with its state of affairs. To me, ongoing calls for unity had become a broken record, preoccupation with racism had become obsessive, participation in self-genocide a curse. I saw no reversal of fortune in the future; except for individuals who having equipped themselves with all the necessary skills, were able to thrive in a system that appreciated whatever generates profit. i observed little to encourage the idea that the USA would ever totally rid itself of racism, or that African Americans would ever be anything other than a thorn in the side of their nat…

There is a chitload of trauma we must still face, thanks to these dumb ass Republicans. But you will always be honored.

"Last year was a banner year for those trading the New York chill for the Florida sun. Thirty-nine percent of Empire Staters packed up and moved to the Sunshine State, more than any year in history. In fact, recent census data revealed 1.6 million former New Yorkers (or 8% of Florida’s total population) now call Florida home — and it’s not just retirees. Favorable tax policies are fueling Florida’s popularity, attracting top businesses, budding entrepreneurs, and so-called one-percenters, such as Donald Trump and Carl Icahn. Does that mean Florida is a better bet? Those who argue “yes” say New Yorkers are heading south where their money can last longer, their health can b…

In the United States atleast, Caucasians (or White people for those who prefer that term) are in power. For whatever reason The SUPREME BEING has allowed Caucasians to attain power and so far they are KEEPING power and we don't know how long they will BE in power. Regardless of religions, prophecies, and predictions.....they haven't been removed from power YET. Maybe they will be removed TOMORROW. Maybe they will be in power for the next 10 years. Maybe they will be removed from power sometime within the next 100 years. We don't know. The SUPREME BEING knows.....we don't. But we DO know that they are in power right now. As long as Caucasians are…

I post this question in an effort to encourage more discussion from people who read posts but don't comment (lurk). The thought was that my questions should be "provocative." I not sure it this question exactly fits the bill 🙂 Kicking things off: MSNBC cancelled “The ReidOut.” What are we gonna do about it? Was anyone here on the emergency Zoom call, attended by nearly 10,000 people, in support of Joy Reid, the first Black woman to host a prime-time cable news show? If we really needed her program we would come together and ensure she has a platform and the resources to continue, and even expand upon, what she was doing... right? …

The USA does very little to decrease the demand for drugs. Follow the money. Yet, the same country will criminalize and punish the low-level folks who traffic drugs. Follow the money. Right now, in another show of force, the US is blowing up fishing boats in international waters near Venezuela under the guise of narco-terrorrism. Approximately 80 people have been unalived as result of military strikes on their boats. Let's be clear...the majority of fentanyl and cocaine coming into the USA isn't being trafficked on those small azz fishing boats. Most of the drugs pouring into the USA come from Colombia and M…
