What in the World is Going on In SUDAN! Should we as African Americans and Americans, in general, be concerned? Even though I was completely captivated about the celestial wonders going on in the middle of the month of April 2023, however, I was amazed at what I was hearing and reading about the conlfict in Sudan too, but at first, I didn't believe it was significant. I initially heard casual reports about many European and American officials being rushed out of Sudan and flown safely back to their European countries of origins but then, the news reports continued until finally, they became reported as NEWSBREAKS! Subconciously, I so…

Brittany Griner's Appeal; Will She Be Freed? I wonder if the recent news coverage are published to help keep Brittaney Griner on the front page in hopes to get enough attention so that the Russians will free her through some type of prison swap. Her appeal is up and coming on October 25. She was convicted for 9 years for possession of hashish oil. 9 YEARS!!! That is crazy! I hope she is freed. ______________________________________________________________________________________ The United States has said that her detention and trial were politically motivated and that the Kremlin wants to excha…

If this site were not solely fixated on Black books I would promote Poverty, by America by Matthew Desmond (Amazon is discounting the book by 37%) “The United States, the richest country on earth, has more poverty than any other advanced democracy. Why? Why does this land of plenty allow one in every eight of its children to go without basic necessities, permit scores of its citizens to live and die on the streets, and authorize its corporations to pay poverty wages?” Desmond also wrote another critically acclaimed book, Evicted (which Amazon is selling for 42% off--less than my wholesale discount!). This is not a "Black" problem as man…

In all humanity , the last few centuries have been a time of male domination over women. The biggest legacy from that is the promoting in many homes, to male children, through amale figure or media completely designed by males promoting a male dominant agenda, the role of male + the role of female. The problem is when you have a man raised to think male , boy or man , is superior to female, girl or woman, in all ways then you get a problem when a female reaches any level of superiority over a male. Why? Cause the identity of male in said homes isn't from self alone, it is from relationship to female. For example, a male who is unemployed, living in a home tha…

Why is black America always complaining about how it feels it’s being treated by other groups, when what it really needs to do first, is get its own house in order? Let’s take a step back and a brief look at black America’s self-inflicted damage. From the top, black Americans: -- Chronically blame their problems on others. -- Don’t practice good study habits, score low on basics tests, and discount the value of getting a good education. -- Are physically unfit, eat poorly, and smoke and consume alcohol heavily, which contributes to a disproportionate suffering from obesity, high blood pressure, emphysema, and kidney, heart and liver disea…

We need to honor all our best and brightest to combat low self image.

When I look at the news and current events on the internet, 2 things seem to be dominating the headlines: illegal immigration and homelessness. This seems to be going somewhere but I'm not sure what the agenda is.....yet.

When you read an astrological chart, you're interpreting the symbolic expression of space and time. Which may imply that information is encoded within time. Although I am starting to feel that time is information.

Google Ads Has anyone noticed that the Google ads are gone? If found them increasingly intrusive and irritating. I've also reduced the number ads running throughout the rest of the site. My Google ad revenue is down substantially, but it is worth it, at least for now. Basically, I let Google put ads anywhere they wanted and they really took advantage of the site. They would have full screen ads pop up as you went from one page to the next, The would out two or three ads (often the same ones) right in the middle text you are trying to read. If I put ads on my site, the way Google inserted them, Google would bury their search results, for pro…

Have you noticed in the media lately, there's a huge push to NOW all of a sudden call bi-racial people "Black"? If you haven't, pay attention. Ofcourse during slavery for the most part anybody with known Black ancestry was considered "Black" in the U.S. according to the one drop rule; but in the RECENT past...like most AfroAmericans accepted mixed people as Black....most Whites would make it a point to call bi-racial people BI-RACIAL or refer to their ethnicity as African Americans more so than their race which would be more controversial. But now all of a sudden that's changing. Now in the news as well as the entertainment media, more and more bi-racial peo…

Contrary to popular believe, the Holy Bible did not sanction slavery, nor contained any elements of slavery as was practiced in the Transatlantic slave trade, where a master has property ownership in another human being. The word slave as implemented according to the slave institutions in America was identified as meaning the white slave master had property ownership in the black slave. The slave was divested of all human and civil rights. The patriarchs of the Old Testament were Hebrew and conducted their lives according to Hebrew law of divine guidance and righteousness and customs as written in primary sources of the Holy Scripture such as the Hebrew Israelite Scrip…

************************************************************************************ This discussion is about the trial of the white supremacists that murdered an innocent Black man while he was out for a jog, minding his own business. Their defense for killing him was that they thought he was a burglar, running away from some imaginary crime. For the record, I hope that this scum are found guilty and executed in a most painful fashion. IN TODAY'S NEWS: Three white men on trial for murder of Black jogger Ahmaud Arbery 'KNEW' he was not a burglar, jury hears: Judge allows pho…

But I couldn't get one of the 13 versions because I'm not a NY resident! But my daughter is, and she got the "Hard Knock Life" card pictured below. I did get an eyeful of this beautiful "Book of HOV" two-story, 8-section exhibit. The exhibit has been extended twice and will end on December 4, 2023, coinciding with Jay-Z's birthday. The brilliance of the production lies in Jay-Z's storytelling ability. There will be no re-writing of his story. It is a fully interactive exhibit with artifacts, including signage from The Marcy Projects to a replica of the Baseline studio where Jay-Z recorded his multiplatinum albums. The beauty of this endeavor is that nothing stops…

Suddenly I've drifted into a crazy zone. I have nothing but time on my hands, and I live around the clock, only sleeping when I'm sleepy, only eating when I'm hungry, suspended in limbo. My Samsung smart phone is my ever present companion and it's like there's a connection between my fingers and its keyboard and I have a compulsion to just write long dissertations or crazy vignettes, my words and thoughts feeding on each other like i'm overtaken by a rogue AI entity that compels me to write about things I didn't know I knew, - like my subconcious mind is on overdrive. Like now. Fortunately, I'm not immobile nor in dire health. But I do tire easily, and like to…

No surprise that POTUS PJB fully pardoned his son Hunter Biden: https://apnews.com/article/biden-son-hunter-charges-pardon-pledge-24f3007c2d2f467fa48e21bbc7262525 Of course, POTUS PJB intially claimed he wasn't going to pardon his son. Surely, most of us knew that was a lie. I'm curious to know how many Black folks POTUS PJB plans to pardon who were sentenced under his 1994 Crime Bill.😎

Just dropped in to get a whiff of what's going on here since I made my last departure, an exit that deferred to my aversion for being around those I can't stomach. And what a good decision that was. OMG! I can only gasp at how the vibe here has become even more irritating. 🙄 'Felt like I had stumbled into a FOX "News" echo chamber, reeking with the gospel of right wing half truths, and rampant with hysterical conspiracy theories involving the ubiquitous "they". But - before I provide further material for possible rebukes from Mzuri in her self-appointed role as the Sergeant-at-Arms of this forum, ever ready to lecture those who don't conform to the protocols she has …

Why do we defend our convictions. When We haven't tested them, in addition some assumptions are not possible to verify.

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?

While I disliked the film Us, one thing I did like about it was the presentation of a straight up dark-skinned Black family. No obviously mixed Black people, no swirling couples. But seemingly, the vast majority of couples where Black people are involved are mixed race -- usually a Black woman with a white guy. I'm not sure if I'm just more sensitive to this when I see it and it has an out sized impression on me or if it is indeed true. I mentioned to a friend recently who dismissed my comment when I brought up the issue, but then we observed, together, exactly what I meant and she was forced to agree. Of course I have no problem wi…

Happen to catch these very clear videos of an interview allegedly done by NWA in London England, back in the day. (1990) I say "allegedly" because the videos are so remarkably clear that they look recent, as if it could be AI. Despite the callousness and often vulgar language, their responses are pretty quick and often witty. They show a level of maturity and none of them are fighting with eachother over who speaks or who gets to answer which question. There seems to be a "vibe" among them.

This thought was inspired by a few questions Xeon raised in another thread: "Well, tell ya what...why don't you give me the name of one black African country in 2016, that leads the world in technological, medical and scientific development. Give me the name of one black African nation that is a global leader in engineering, economics, agriculture and education. How many black African nations are totally and completely free of technological assistance, infrastructure development and economic assistance from China, Europe or the US? And when you finish that list, give me another list of "non-Negro nations" and governments that are dependent on "black African countries" fo…

White Christians forgive the black terrorist that shot all those innocent people in the terrorist/ racist subway attack as well as the blacks racist that brutally stabbed a jewish rabbi in Ny last year.

White Christians also forgive the black racist terrorist that drove a truck through a crowd of innocent people in wisconsin, it was straight from an ISIS playbook. White Christians also forgive all the black thugs that terrorize our communities and all the black thugs that destroyed an…

We still aren’t communicating properly yet and this is leading to major challenges. 1. We are continuously reinventing the wheel. 2. We are building stables supply lines. 3. We are continuing to hop from one White Platform to Another. I would like to look at ways to break this cycle.

I've been going to college campuses for decades. I've lived in a huge university town for years. I've been around the internet for over 20 years ....and I PROMISE you, I hadn't even heard of this acronym or term "DEI" until this year. Now all of a sudden it's all over the internet. Every other article is featuring this acronym. Every political argument involves it. Diversity Equity Inclusion This reminds me of "CRT" or Critical Race Theory of a few years ago. Where is this shit coming from? Who's making up these terms and tossing them out for people to wrestle over? And more importantly, what do they have to do with…

Greetings! I would like to introduce my book, The Church of the Cosmic Mother: Metaphysics For the African American Seeker, to be considered for a book review. ISBN13: 978-1980973461, originally published March 9, 2015. The Church of the Cosmic Mother is a guide to African American spirituality for the 21st century. Combining metaphysics, science, philosophy and a strong dose of Black Nationalism, it is an antidote to the dogma implied in monotheistic traditions that black is evil. Rather, it introduces the concept of the Divine Feminine as the lost connection between our blackness and our holiness.As a metaphysics book, it is primarily conce…

Re: https://www.theroot.com/our-kind-of-people-is-a-treasure-trove-of-good-writing-1847768924 IMO, regarding Lee Daniels' TV series on Fox called Our Kind of People, the series sucks. It's contrived erratic dialogue that drives the convoluted story line and disjointed interaction between skin color-sensitive upper-crusters and wannabees, appears to make them all come across as phony unrealistic achievers. Nearly the entire cast looks like it was assembled to mimic a geographically incorrect fake Redbone-fluid high society, burdened by the insecurity of their own existence and racial identity. Being or being perceived or classified as black, looks like it is …

Not certain if I already posted this. If you could have three super powers what would they be?

It will surely seem as if Christmas has arrived a second time for White Supremacists in Florida. That’s because Jair Bolsonaro, the White skinned and defeated President of Brazil, has left his country to head for the Sunshine State. This gives the southernmost U.S. state on the mainland three racists in residence: former President Trump, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and the demented Bolsonaro. According to a few news reports, Bolsonaro is headed for Orlando, Fla., the land of make-believe and Disney. ( When you wish upon a star that every Blackie lives afar. ) like Trump Bolsonaro, refused to attend the inauguration of the man who whupped his ass at the p…

In spite of indicators of a 'blue wave' in the mid-terms, Democrate candidates are still begging constituents (voters) for handouts. For several years I gave monthly donations to campaigns until some Dems started playing footies with Republicans. This morning I visited the "Democrats Aboard" office to touch bases with other U.S. voters here in Israel. They treated American born Arabs like republicans treat Black voters. I'm pissed to say the least! Now I'm re-examining my priorities. Is this reasonable?

This is along the same vein of my previous thread about whether or not White men are gaining traction with our sistaz. But it's a much broader scope. Since being a teenager growing up in a Black city and then traveling the nation from coast to coast I've seen a lot of things and I've closely observered human interaction. Especially as a younger man when it came to how males and females interacted. I noticed that while most races and ethnic groups tended to marry, date, and/or had sex predominately within their group...a certain percentage would stray away and enter relationships with other groups. What I found interesting was that when it …

Black businesses matter. There is no debate about this. Go to any major Black populated neighborhood and you will not be able to find Black owned businesses. This is because these businesses do not exist. Coincidence? No. This is by design. Since birth, the biggest ambitions our parents generally have for us is to work for someone else and hopefully end up getting a high paying job. We aren't taught to create jobs and thus, create wealth. We can't even rap about that mess in hip hop music. Bet most people don't find it partly odd that most rappers only rap about non-black owned merchandise and how much they want material things that are not created by Black people. That's…

Well, I tried to tell you so many times that Donald Trump was a complete nincompoop, a racist and a super dumbass. But you wouldn’t listen. The world has always known.

Especially with Republicans expressing widespread glee at the hammer attack on the husband of Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Especially with all the photos of a glum Trump whose candidates laid smelly eggs everywhere. Trump is reportedly blaming Fox News’ pundit Sean Hannity and his wife Melania for talking him into supporting the phony TV physician Mehmet Oz. The carpetbagger who didn’t even learn the…

White supremacy is a form of racism centered upon the belief, and promotion of the belief, that white people are superior in certain characteristics, traits, and attributes to people of other racial backgrounds and that therefore white people should politically, economically and socially rule non-white people. How do we remove the concept from society and begin to treat all people equally?

Brothers and sisters from mother Africa I’m here here to dismantled all the lies that we have been taught as we are the elects of this worlds. Now I just want you to imagine that everything that you have been told so far have been lies with a sprinkle of truth because no man can speak all lies evidence can’t be hidden but but I want to begins this discussion with what is civilization because that roots of our problem and solution.
