When I was a child I was told racism was when one person hated another for the color of their skin or their racial background. When I became a teen people told me racism was either thinking one race was superior to another or when someone was scared or didn't understand a racial group different than themselves. When I became an adult racism was said to be racial discrimination with power plus privilege in effect and therefore only certain groups could be racist. Is racism soon going to be when you don't validate someone's belief that they can be another race besides the one they were born? Why does the meaning keep changing?…

Russia, Ukraine, China and US debt are messing with the economic future of this technological planet? Spaceship Earth is a Mess! Believing in ideologies is nonsense. The people who claim to be Capitalists want the workers kept ignorant. Adam Smith: Download Wealth of Nations, it has been in the public domain, and free on the internet, since 2001. Search it for "and account", you will find multiple instances of "read, write and account". Why doesn't the right or the left advocate mandatory accounting/finance in the schools?

https://apnews.com/article/tyler-perry-lawsuit-derek-dixon-oval-45c6b19ed17e728e67aceb0ab130aa0d Another rich Black man facing a lawsuit. This time it is Tyler Perry (TP) being sued for $260 million el grande. There are several holes in the plaintiff's allegations. Surely, we're not supposed to believe a grown azz man felt comfortable spending the night in another's man's house and couldn't stop the harassment. I don't believe this silly suit will make it through the court. Hopefully, TP will be more selective about who he pulls off his production set or at an event or from the Village People. 😎

Question #1: Aside from the fact that they both involved drips, what do Kim Kardashian's wedding and Hurricane Tropical Storm Irene have in common? Answer: All the hoopla was more "la" than "hoop", courtesy of a disapppointed media. Question: #2: With the revelation of her pregnancy, will Beyonce's new baby inherit her beauty and Jay-Z's brains??? Answer: We can only pray. Question #3: Where in the world is Chris Hayden???? It's times like these that we need the benefit of his inimitable analyses of current events. Answer: he retired to a monestary to watch re-runs of Mayberry RFD.

Hello - I also posted the press release about these books on New Book/Press Release forum. I hope I am not overdoing. However for this forum, these books undoubtedly qualify as they relate to the well-being of the African peoples and perhaps other people in tropical, indigent settings. Given the proper attention, these books could affect the lives of millions of African people. Before I go further, allow me to relate my pedigree vis-à-vis writing about HIV/AIDS and scientific/medical material. Here's my biography as listed on Amazon.com: **** Chris Jennings (Harvard, B.A., Biology 1976/77) excels at writing scientific books that fulfill the needs o…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=ZMCfxWN_X3Q I heard some others talking about it on the Sunday Morning News shows a couple weeks ago. Why are so many WHITE MEN interested in the rebuilding of America's blackest major city while Black folks all but ignore it?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TROY! HAVE A GOOD ONE.

In another conversation Cynique wrote, “…my sense of humor is what sustains me. I regularly watch Family Feud hosted by Steve Harvey, just to laugh at how stupid the average person can be.” What struck me about Cynique's statement is that she is roughly 30 years my senior and I can't see myself being amused by Family Feud--ever. In fact, I'm beginning to wonder what will amuse and interest me if I'm fortunate enough to have Cyniques longevity. I used to watch Family Feud and I even derived some enjoyment from it, but this was many years ago. Lately however, I when catch it channel surfing, it feels like I'm wasting time watching the show.

@Pioneer1 I could nit help think of you when I made this.

After talking to numerous Black people who identify as Conservatives and many more who don't and a few who...like myself...identify as Progressive; I've come to the conclusion that over 95% of all AfroAmericans share the same values and aren't given to one extreme or another like Caucasians tend to be. Despite our political labels, most of us either share the SAME values or aren't actively opposed to those we may not personally share. I'm a Progressive, but I do NOT support excessive regulations, demonizing the rich, or the transgender movement (although I do support homo-bi-sexual rights) and most Black people I know share the same views although they don't identif…

The Democrats are about to get their backsides waxed in this year's midterm elections. Several mistakes are to blame and most are unforced errors. 1) Too many Black people remain ignorant of what Critical Race Theory actually is. It's not Black History, although many well-meaning Black folks claim that it is. And sadly, they cling to this errant view on social media. But Critical Race Theory is NOT Black History, which is a collection of truths and facts. Theories are simply suppositions. I will maintain that CRT is taught only at the university level not in grade, intermediate or any high schools. The problem lies in that few have come up with a ONE S…

Over the years, I've encountered many individuals who remain curious about who was Black in the Bible. A lot of them spout legends and myths are absolute falsehoods. Some even mention individuals who actually never appear in the Scriptures. So I did research and here are my findings. When compiling this data, I incorporated the claims made on different Websites and by individuals. I chose to stick with only what I found in the Bible. This way, I would not codify legends, myths and feel good tales. That's how we ended up with a White Jesus. One of the things that stood out is that the Bible rarely mentions the skin color of individuals, despite widesprea…

Seven Degrees of the Self Hating Negro 1. "I apologize": Typically the "Black Friend". No backbone, constantly apologizes for negro shenanigans that has nothing to do with them. 2. " I made it": "I made it and you should, too!" is their motto. Any success for them means negroes just aren't trying hard enough. 3. "My family white": Not to be confused with self hating biracials, this degree has relatives who married white and now they're embarrassed by all the things they suddenly notice is inferior about negro culture up against white culture. 4. "I hate my look": Absolutely despises all negro features and tries to actively b…

In the real world, whether I'm at work or on the street....if I'm talking to somebody and I'm trying to remember something I often will ask them or give myself a while to try to remember it myself. Some people ask, why not just look it up on your phone? Because I don't want to. I like the feeling of REMEMBERING certain things and I'll sometimes wait a whole day trying to remember something and use the internet only as a last resort. I like using my brain. I usually don't use calculators for the same reason. I'll grab a sheet of paper and do it with a pen. A lot of younger people under 30 will crowd around me in amazement and wonder what I'm doing an…

An example of things to come begins with the newly inaugurated Trump's plans to round up and deport illegal immigrants who are presumed to be criminals, even as he issues a pardon to the thousands of January 6th rioting insurrectionists who tried to overturn a Presidential election and lynch the Vice President, seriously injuring several law enforcement officers in the process. "Our way or the highway" will obviously be the mission statement of the newly- elected regime and its bigoted and oligarch followers. (All under the supervision and approval of King Donald's Prime Minister, Elon Musk.) "Welcome to the new Golden Age that will make America grea…

Commentator Christopher Hitchens put his spin on Glenn Beck's rally in Washington DC. One crucial element of the American subconscious is about to become salient and explicit and highly volatile.

“Sankofa is an Akan word meaning we must go back to our roots in order to move forward, to gather the best of what our past has to teach us, so that we can achieve our full potential as we move forward, can we start the process of becoming problem solvers by experiencing an Sankofa moment of us all focusing our mistreatment and becoming united as one people, who are being mistreated all around the world, because of the color in our skin in the spirit of Sankofa. Will this is dismantle white supremacy/racism?

The Academy Establishes Representation and Inclusion Standards for Oscars Eligibility I must admit, this is a move that the industry should have examined long before 2020; regardless, my optimism regarding the inclusion of Black writers, producers, directors, etc. is palpable. Does this feel like Hollywood's stab at affirmative action to you? I've included the film eligibility standards per the Academy; source docs are located on the official website, Oscars.org. I'm diggin this new soothing interface! @Troy

One of the things I do for a hobby is study a phenomena commonly referred to as "Near Death Experiences" For those of you who aren't familiar with the term or it's details..... It's pretty much when a person actually DIES briefly (it could be from an illness or accident or anything that takes their life) and are resuscitated/brought back to life; but while they're dead they have a spiritual experience where their soul often go towards a bright light, enters a garden or some other beautiful area full of indescribable love, is met by deceased Ancestors and/or powerful Beings, given a review of their entire lives up to their death, and sent back often with a message…

Brittney Griner has just been sentenced to nine years in prison. I am certain a lot of commentary should follow.

Why would a religion that comes from God need to "evolve"? God is perfect, so it would seem to me any religion given to us by God would be perfect also. You don't "evolve" from perfect. You can CHANGE from perfect. You can DEVIATE from perfect. But you don't EVOLVE from perfect. MAN'S religions evolve..........

In round 2, I explained something that caused confusion. I quote in Round 2 @KENNETH I do not oppose reparations or renaissance. But I oppose a key element that black people don't seem to realize when they talk about repair. ANother was also confused and I replied to them with the following in bold. I merely go into detail after. good afternoon @Soulsonsix yes, i want to only add we have a happiness foundation elsewhere. More elemental than culture, it is a question of where the majority of black people whose forebears were enslaved in the usa were last happy and the majority of black people whose forebears were enslave…

A few days ago, Rep. Pramila Jayapal was feeling herself during a speech and called Israel a racist state. She's since walked it back. Yesterday, the House unanimously (412-9) passed a resolution supporting Israel and condemning antisemitism. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/house-pass-resolution-backing-israel-jayapal-racist-state-rcna94897 They made sure to mention the 9 votes were cast by "The Squad" which consists of "Democrats of color". Otherwise, bipartisan support of this resolution was swift. Nothing like the gridlock they seem to encounter when it comes to any legislation beneficial to AfroAmericans. …

Eight other honorees were announced in the spring. Williams and Bridges became available after the date and location of the ceremony were changed, a spokesman said. Williams, 42, is a 23…

Dr. Umar Johnson chopping it up with a successful young brother and scolding him over smoking weed.... I find it interesting that Umar Johnson smoked an entire joint and nothing happened. I find this interesting because I've had a few similar experiences myself and it one of the reasons I DON'T smoke weed. I've tried weed a few times in highschool and a few more times in my 20s.....once in my 30s...and left it alone. On each occasion (except one where I believe the weed was laced) absolutely nothing happened. I got the same effect as smoking a cigarette. And what I really found interesting was that I was told on multiple occasions …

https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/stephen-a-smith-snoop-dogg-nelly-soulja-boy-trump-inauguration-1235879909/ Snoop, Nelly and Soulja Boy caught flak for performing at inauguration events. Sports talk, loud-mouth, Stephen A. Smith weighed in on the criticism. All 3 dudes are already millionaires. They had their own reasons for performing at the event. There's no such thing as having too much money. No matter how it's spun, I believe the color green was their primary motivation. Just like anybody else, rich entertainers will put their politics aside in order to get paid.😎

It has come to pass the US has bombed 3 major Iranian nuclear facilities. At this point, it still doesn't make sense for the current administration to suggest there's any kind of deal left for the Iranians. Unless the US and Israel are worried about Iran using remnants of their nuclear program to make dirty bombs. In the meantime, some folks will be placed on high alert for terrorist attacks in retaliatin to the bombing. Russia and China are still real quiet as a joint strike (US/Israel) against Iran went down. 😎

Governor Moore recently became leader of the National Governors Association. Of course, nothing should be a surprise under the current 🤡 🎪 administration.

Chapter 4 Carole was at work, on her morning break. Seated in the cafeteria, she was so engrossed in her book that she didn’t notice the person headed her way. “Mind if I join you?” a voice asked. “All the tables seem to be full.” Startled, Carole looked up, hardly able to believe whose compelling eyes she was staring back into. “Have a seat,” she managed to say, trying not to appear flustered. “Glad for some company. I prefer my entertainment live.” Troy Briggs gave her a curious look, and hesitated before sitting down. “Oh?” he said. “Does that mean I’m expected to - perform for you?” “If you’ve got your act together,” she answered, and laughed,…
