Back in my teens and 20s, I wouldn't have believed that I would feel so obliged or dedicated to people I wasn't related to or something I wasn't getting paid to do. But as we know, things and often attitudes and mentalities change with time. Now if I spend an extended amount of time away from AALBC whether it's a few days, a few weeks, or a couple months.....I feel OBLIGATED to go back and as best I can respond to all posts directed at me or about me. And also, if time permits....address posts that grab my interest even if they weren't directed at me. And it appears that most of you seem to feel the same way. ______________________________…

License plate readers: A useful tool for police comes with privacy concerns By Allison Klein and Josh White, Published: November 19, 2011 An armed robber burst into a Northeast Washington market, scuffled with the cashier, and then shot him and the clerk’s father, who also owned the store. The killer sped off in a silver Pontiac, but a witness was able to write down the license plate number. Police figured out the name of the suspect very quickly. But locating and arresting him took a little-known investigative tool: a vast system that tracks the comings and goings of anyone driving around the District. Scores of cameras across the city capture 1,800 images…

If You Were My Girl Friend - Again? Jack & Jill ran up the hill to get a marriage license/ They found bliss and shared a kiss/ and that's the end of the story. Wouldn't that be great? Through the storms of adultery, physical and mental abuse, uncommon interests, gambling, selfishness, alcoholism, deceit, sloth and boredom, wouldn't it be great if we all could be like Petunia (Ethel Waters) & Little Joe. Yes sir, Little Joe was a gambling womanizer but Petunia still loved her Little Joe. The devil tried to take Little Joe, but eventually they were hand in hand, walking to the Cabin In The Sky. That was a great movie - wasn't it. But what about now? …

RUDDY COLORED: Altering Script in the Face of Science Ruddy- Often described as a “healthy red,” more brownish. Example: Ruddy Shelduck, Ruddy Turnstone http://birdersconundrum.blogspot.com/2014/07/the-bird-color-conundrum-red-brown-and.html This is one of many words that have been altered within the translations of ancient script so as to extract the AFRICAN presence in the ancient scripts. The science of 'color' is, I believe, a vital subject to understand with regards to how it has been used for and against humanity. But this is also a broad subject, therefore, I hope to add to it by and by. Since this term, ruddy, has recently been u…

When I got fired from my old job for refusing to take the vaccine, was facing homelessness, and ended up finding a new job doing PHYSICAL work at my age.....it was so disappointing. Part of me was happy that I was able to find SOMETHING to maintain a decent income and keep the bills paid but another part of me was angry and frustrated that I didn't have more and why I wasn't in a better situation. The actual job itself isn't the best, but one of the things I love about it is the opportunity I now have to work with so many Africans from around the Continent. I'm not sure why but nearly a THIRD of the labor force I work with are Black Africans from over 30 diffe…

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…

Hello, I would like to have my book considered for a review. The Harlem Story, originally written as an integrated, musical screenplay, follows the journey of gifted singers raised in the church, aspiring to sing professionally. The novel incorporates R&B, gospel, and Hip Hop song lyrics and ideas from my script. In 1963, JAMES HARRIS and DIANE SMITH, gifted singers at age six, witness the murder of their parents by the Klan outside their Southern church. AUNT MILLIE, age 52, James' mother's religious aunt, flees with the children back inside the chapel. The House of God is set on fire. They are trapped inside, but a deacon arrives to rescue them. T…

ABC News Hate Groups Grow as Racial Tipping Point Changes Demographics By COLLEEN CURRY May 18, 2012 The number of radical hate groups and militias has exploded in recent years in reaction to the changing makeup of America, and new census figures showing the majority of babies born in 2011 were non-white could fuel those simmering tensions, experts who track hate groups warned. "White supremacist groups have been having a meltdown since the census bureau predicted that non-Hispanic whites would lose the majority by 2050," said Mark Potok, spokesman for the Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors hate groups. "The demographic change in this country i…

I'm familiar with some of Anyike's work. He has published some interesting information. -------------------- According to Rev. James C. Anyike, “One of the main reasons many of our churches and businesses are dying is because they have no relationship with younger people, and they don’t have any plans to.” Anyike is the Senior Pastor of Scott UMC and The Way, and a nationally known author of three books. “Our success as families, churches, businesses, and other institutions will be best realized when the generations can understand each other and work with each other,” said Anyike. ------- Do any of you agree with this?

DeepSeek and the quality of usa finance MY THOUGHTS 600 billion dollars. Nvidia lost 17th percent of its value in a day . Like many USA firms or industries outside military products, they are weak from the 1900s to today. DeepSeek said it cost 5 million dollars to produce a product rivaling any comparative computer program in storage/speed/calculation at 1/20th of the cost. So this proves the value of the usa firms is incorrect. which is my issue. Tesla was given such a high value. The USA's financial environment allows for a bloating of firms, like Nvidia, like Tesla that to be blunt, have each lost huge market shares which they shouldn't. The fact that the best…

So most people who live in New York City can't even afford to be in the apartments who have legally lowered rent. What is my point? The NYC real estate market is buoyed by welfare. The people making millions for selling a loft are buoyed by a city whose populace is subsidized so that the real estate industry can make profits. It is a …

Not since O.J. Simpson was aquitted has there been an uproar like this one following the "not guilty" verdict rendered in the Casey Anthony trial. And none are more outraged than the lynch mob of TV legal experts who have been trying this case in the media. Also calling for the head of Casey are the nation’s community of loving mothers who can’t imagine how any woman could harm her own toddler. Emotions have compounded the indignation because the public just can’t deal with how this case assaults the idea that parenthood is a privilege not a burden. To add insult to injury, party girl Casey Anthony was not only a bad mother, but she has been deemed a psychopath a…

I recently published Kam's review of the new indie film Sucka 4 Luv. No after posted the review I went Twitter to share the link and let those involved with the film review.

So I go looking for a twitter account to tag on my message and run a Twitter search on Sucka 4 Luv and came across a Twitter account, @sucka4luv2 that had such a disgusting pornographic banner image that I won't even link to it.

......not more bullshit and wishful thinking. I met and had a deep conversation with a group of Hebrew Israelites a few days ago, and it made me a bit disappointed. None of these brothers were over 35 and infact most of them were in their 20s and they were very sincere about Black folks and Latinos being the 12 Tribes of Israel and even more disappointing was the fact that they believed slavery was a "curse" from God for breaking the commandments of the Bible. I was taking these brothers and schooling them not just with their own Bible that they hadn't read thoroughly but also with basic common sense and logic like if slavery was a "curse" then wh…

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…

KUSA-TV in Colorado reports: The Tattered Cover bookstore chain has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, three years after the iconic local business was sold to an investment group, and plans to close three of its stores over the next two weeks. The bankruptcy filing on Monday said Tattered Cover owes its creditors, numbering in the hundreds, between $1 million and $10 million. The company listed its assets in the same broad range. Why do I care? Well, I always considered the Tatter Cover a great indie store. I visited two of the chains, one as recently as 2021. The stores were just a great space for book lovers.…
