  3. Ta-Nehisi Coates, who moved his family to Paris, says it's not much different than living in America meaning there are the same challenges w/ racism but not worse. After visiting more than 20 countries over the last 8 years - America is NOT the best place for black people; it's just familiar. I lived in Germany growing up went to school there and remember having a good life. I like Italy but not every black woman has the same experience I've had there. Canada, Peru and Argentina felt welcoming to me, especially Miraflores, Lima Peru and I spent a lot of time there. People seem better educated in Canada but their News Media doesn't dumb down reports either. Argent…

  5. When in Florida, I spend hours in Barnes and Noble and Starbucks working on AALBC.com. Sometimes I use the library, but I like being able to buy a cup of coffee and something to eat without having to pack up and leave.. Plus, I can people watch in B&N and Starbucks. People are so interesting, but before I digress let me tell you about a Brother I've become friendly with over the last couple of years, Milton Bertrand. We started talking because I noticed he was sitting in the B&N at a wooden desk--that he brought into the store himself--which initially seemed crazy--who brings a desk to a bookstore?!. We started talking and he explained how his desk ac…

  6. Until Death Do Us Part: 8 Reasons For Marital Failure Amongst African Americans By Dr. Umar Abdullah-Johnson, Psy.D., NCSP, M.Ed. Nationwide (November 6, 2011) -- Discussions about the epidemic are everywhere, from the latest best-selling novels to academic discussions on college campuses, to passionate discussions between Frat brothers & Sister circles. The question everyone wants answered is "WHY?" Unfortunately, many of the traditional reasons you have been given for the premature romantic meltdowns amongst Blacks are inaccurate and insufficient. These very same factors were present when successful Black marriages, created 30 or 40 years ago, w…

    I have been perusing my saved files containing material about accessing the akashic records, info which i now vaguely remember gleaning from the internet after a discussion about them on this board a long time ago. I am now pursuing the idea that these astral records, also known as "The Book of Life", are just waiting up there in The Universe to be downloaded into the computer of your psyche through meditation, introspection. and soul searching, and I have now become inspired to explore what, in my present incarnation, is influenced by my past existence. I suspect that i was a man in another life, and maybe a misogynistic one at that, because in this life. f…

    Du Bois's speech reminded me of a comment @Delano, made in a conversation I started last week. Du Bois died a year after I was born and was old enough to have personally known black people who were formerly enslaved. It is a crying shame that almost 60 years after this speech was delivered the things Du Bois criticized have only gotten worse. His point on what we now refer to as campaign finance reform was particularly telling. W. E. B. Du Bois Criticizes Capitalism in the audio below. He was 93 when this speech was delivered and was a remarkable human. It seems he was wrong about socialism being the dominant world structure. I guess he was far more confident or …

    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.

  20. Amazon‘s is profiting from our insecurities with one hand and taking away jobs with the other. Amazon launched this product yesterday. Someone who knew this would tickle my fancy emailed it to me about it. I blogged about it, "Amazon‘s Echo Look: Exploiting Our Inner Narcissist." It seems strange to me that anyone would want this gizmo, but I know Amazon understand people very well, so I'm sure there is a sizeable market. Boy, in a world where companies can profit by writing code that tells women and metrosexuals what to wear, writing code to books makes one feel like an anachronism.

  22. Moving Fannie Lou Hamer's page to the new format and I stumbled across her full testimony at the Democratic National Convention, August 22, 1964, Credentials Committee. Previously I'd only heard an excerpt. I can't imagine standing up to overt racism, in the deep south, the way she did. I spend enough time in Florida to have confronted over racism in 2017, but that is nothing compared to 50 years ago. I can't even image sharecropping. I had a job when I was 14 working in Central Park, pulling weeds and stuff like that. It was exhausting work--I can't image a life of that drudgery... Hamer is a remarkable woman brave and a brilliant orator.

    I guess the manhunt for the "Cleveland Killer" or "Facebook Killer" has been called off and the situation resolved. After mercilessly killing a 74 year old innocent man on live social media and bragging (and probably lying) about having murdered over a dozen other people, the suspect ended up killing himself after being tracked down and surrounded by police in Pennsylvania. Besides themselves, few people really know what really goes on in the minds of people who "snap" and feel the urge to go on a killing spree, but part of me really believes that this situation could have been prevented. Which is why when people do things like this, I'm the type of person who likes…

  37. “When the slaves get together, that’s the beginning of getting out of slavery.”—Martin Luther King, Jr. I'd be surprised if many people would recognize that quote coming from MLK. If they knew it was Dr, King, they probably would not recognize that it came from the famous speech he gave, the evening before he was murdered in Memphis, TN almost 49 years ago to the day, the "Mountaintop" speech. The most quoted line is, "We, as a people, will get to the promised land! I'm glad I reread this speech as I was migrating Dr. King's web page.

The documentary was very well done. Baldwin's work was to focus on his friends Malcolm X, Medgar Evers and Martin Luther King, Jr. “By the time each died, their positions had become virtually the same position. It can be said, indeed, that Martin picked up Malcolm’s burden, articulated the vision which Malcolm had begun to see, and for which he paid with his life. And that Malcolm was one of the people Martin saw on the mountaintop.” Baldwin's words and people like these men are sorely…

    Well, guess everybody has run out of things to say. Not surprising. The discussions here always evolve into debates, and few of us are swayed by the arguments of others. Anecdotal evidence, sociological studies, and scientific proof all muddy the picture and we end up with a negative that isn't developed. We all embrace our truths and distrust the source of rebuttals to them. What goes on here is kind of a reflection of the world-at-large and the reason why this country is in disarray. I find myself withdrawing from what is happening all around me, pondering if intelligent design is involved in the Universe, it needs to go back to the drawing board because hum…

    Hi everyone, My name is Dan, and I am an ignorant white fool. I am also a college student who enjoys writing fiction, even though I’m not the best at it. Over the past couple years, I’ve somehow managed to concoct a strange, rather idiotic scifi/fantasy novel whose major themes include race and inequality. It's 700 pages of ramblings on things I know nothing about. Even in my laughable ignorance, though, I do believe that the issues I have written about are important. I study sociology at my college, and I have taken classes, attended talks, and done a lot of reading on the topics in my book - but there are elements of racism and bigotry, I hav…

    There is an old saying believe none of what you hear and half of what you see. I've also understand that eyewitness testimony is often flawed. This is the reason I don't rely on my own observation to understand the nature of reality. I while don't ignore my observations, or those of others, I know it is our condition as Sapiens to be limited in our perception of reality. The image chessboard below helps make my point. Most people will look at the square labeled A and square labeled B not see them as being identical in color.

    Hello everyone, I sort of stumbled here looking for an answer to something. This is going to sound ignorant and, I suppose it is, just not maliciously so. I've lived most of my life in Finland and now in Japan and I've never really had many friends of color. English is also not my native language, so I hope you will excuse my question. Which words are acceptable or preferred when talking about people of color, if you do not know whether they are African-American or not?
