Hello, I have to interview someone from a different culture for my global issues class. I figured this would be a good forum to do so. Preferably it should be someone from the country of Somalia. And they should have been in the U.S. for at least under 10 years. However, someone from a different culture in general is fine and I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you very much! 1) Identify your culture/and or country of origin? Gender and approximate age? If you are no longer living in your country of birth, how long have you been away? 2) In your country of origin: how do people greet each other (shake hands, bow, embrace, other). Has the tra…

Editor's Note: This conversation is being continued here because it was a dramatic digression from the subject where it picked up, "Another Controversial Time Magazine or Can Black Women Catch a Break" Del, the definition of what you wrote about my response was "dismissive." Why do you get away with being dismissive? Del you understand is statistics, no one has disputed it all called that into question, what I've called into question is your knowledge about climate, a subject you have neither asserted or demonstrated, detailed knowledge of. Am I wrong about that? Statistics is a tool, like a hammer, nothing more. Understanding how to use a hammer does not …

In the twilight of my years, there are a lot of things about which i've been trying to not let my baser instincts prevail. But lately, i have become inundated with current events that i am just not compatible with or sympathetic about. In my ongoing search for the truth, i have begun to look inward and if i am to be honest, i have no choice but to confess that i am descending into a state of "i don't give a damnism". i am not proud of this but the truth is not always pretty and, in my case, there are many things that have neutralized my humanity and no longer inspire my concern. Where to begin? What don't i give a damn about? Well, i don't care about the p…

Alternative thoughts when everything about the confines of this disgusting country stifles and disgusts, thanks to Trump and his ilk. When the "Black Panther" orgy morphs into a bizarre worship of the ancestors who supplied bodies for the slave trade. Time for the sanctuary of introspection.

Tory Lanez Reportedly Sent Apology Text To Megan Thee Stallion After Shooting The Canadian-rapper says he "genuinely just got too drunk." After shooting Megan Thee Stallion in her feet, Tory Lanez is officially breaking his silence about the July 12 incident. The Canadian-rapper, reportedly said he “genuinely just got too drunk” as the night unfolded in Los Angeles. TMZ reports that Lanez sent the “WAP” rapper a text message shortly after the violent night. On Aug. 20, Megan went on Instagram Live to confirm that rapper Tory Lanez (born Daystar Peterson) shot her and cleared up any other rumors regarding the incident al…

I usually do not watch music award shows but insomnia forced me to watch this one.😁 it was great to see the following AfroAmericans recognized for their contributions to music: Tina Turner Jay-Z Charley Patton Gil Scott-Heron LL Cool J Billy Preston Clarence Avant The house band was led by music director Adam Blackstone and they were on fire. The fantastic Jennifer Hudson would have made Aretha Franklin proud with her rendition of "Natural Woman". I think Tina Turner was proud of H.E.R. and Mickey Guyton singing songs in tribute to her excellence. It's a long s…

This is a recent news story about two women that were murdered. These stories made me reflect on a few recent comments in this community about prisoners being released and having the freedom to go into Black communities. I recall @Pioneer1's viewpoints on this subject. I also recently read a few days ago that the past president Trump's program has led to a recent release of thousands of prisoners. This story that I have just read is about a young lady that was working in a furniture store, and she was murdered. A suspect has been arrested and he is a Black man who was said to have had a long criminal record across many states. Then another young lady was recently murdered…

For a homework in school I need to write about black people in the USA. If you’re American and you wanna help me, take your time and answer my post. if you’re white: 1. Are you male, female or identity as something else and how old are you? 2. How do you feel about black people? 3. Do you think there is such a thing like racism or do you even support the idea of being better as a white person? 4. What do you do to support/fight against racism? if you’re black: 1. Are you male, female or identity as something else and how old are you? 2. How do you feel about white people? 3. How do you or did you…

If I was the CEO of Discovery I will shut down all the activities of Warner Bros media that isn't making money and put up bids for temporary licensing of the horde of media properties, forcing them to be displayed on Discovery channel media outlets. If you were a board member, do you agree with me? What if you are the CEO of Discovery? I explain in detail my thoughts below.

Trump: Constitution should be terminated due to "massive" election fraud Former President Trump on Saturday falsely cited election fraud as a reason to terminate the Constitution, after Elon Musk released information about Twitter's role in limiting access to a story about Hunter Biden. What he's saying: "So, with the revelation of MASSIVE & WIDESPREAD FRAUD & DECEPTION in working closely with Big Tech Companies, the DNC, & the Democrat Party, do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION?" Trump wrote on Truth Social. "A Massiv…

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…

POTUS OJ signed an Executive Order (EO) to place federal employees working in DEI offices on leave immediately. The administration has given agencies a couple months to determine how they are going to strip DEI programs. The administration also wants DEI removed from websites. They are also encouraging private businesses and organizations to do the same. Granted, it will be very easy to place DEI under EEO (Equal Employment Opportunity) with Human Resources departments. Like Affirmation Action, EEO has been around for decades. Removing the acronym DEI from the public discourse is a flex by the administration to satisfy their…

This post is not about shooting the messenger. It's about a little old lady that lived is a shoe. She wanted so much attention she didn't know what to do. Well, although Alveda King's participation in Glen Beck's "rally" may have been honorable, she blew it! Not only did she drop the ball with her "cookie cutter" speech, she gave credence to a man that's the personification of a dormant cancer that has gained a new hold. Is she a sell-out, sambo or a puppet? Well, in my opinion, she has the qualities to wear many of their shoes. I know it's not a popular opinion to speak ill of her, but it has to be said. Her seemingly disdain (driven by the media & her own …

Source: The Huffington Post Cuomo Targets Stop-And-Frisk, Seeks To Lower Number Of Low-Level Marijuana Arrests [uPDATE] Posted: 06/04/2012 9:40 am Updated: 06/04/2012 1:28 pm Entering the debate over NYPD stop-and-frisks, Governor Andrew Cuomo is proposing legislation that would decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana in public view. The Governor plans to meet with state lawmakers Monday, The New York Times reports, in an attempt to amend a state law that was the basis for the arrest of over 50,000 people in New York City last year, most of whom were black or Latino. Under the current law, possession of 25 grams or less of marijuana shoul…

I think that we would have another 911 attack given his hatred against Muslims.We would have some kind of war because he seems to like nuclear weapons and encourages some countries to build them.We wouldn't be able to use our freedom of speech rights because he told Chief Justice Gingrich to resign for exercising her freedom of speech rights.We probably will have another Civil War with Mexico like the Alamo years ago in Texas.I learned a lot at the DNC Convention.I know Donald Trump was a "pig" but I didn't know he was that greedy that he wouldn't pay his workers.Now he's crying about people telling lies on him.On top of being stupid, ignorant and arrogant, he's too weak …

This cartoon was apparently in Michael Moore's 2010 movie Bowling for Columbine. It would be hilarious if it were not so sad.

What is most concerning to me about the topic and discussion of racism within the mainstream context is that no one, not black politicians, black commentators, or black entertainers, are talking about what racism really is and why it exists. No one is saying what needs to be said! After reading books like The Isis Papers, The New Jim Crow, and Powernomics to name a few, it seems to me that black people within the mainstream are not truly discussing how racism effects every area of people activity and what we can do to destroy it.

FRIDAY13-BLACKDEATHPLAGUE & Now Covid19- Intelligent Design? Stela of Nakhtmin So, the American government has made it law in that the Theory of Evolution be taught in our educational system. Even though Evolution has never been observed by any human eye, somehow law makers have published that it can be safely taught as truth. On the other hand, however, the subject of 'Intelligent Design' has been outlawed. Part of the legal jargon that outlaws intelligent Design would be of its connection to religion and therefore an infringement on the human rights of non-believers of Creationism. So the question that follows …

Really starting to appreciate what a great alternative to words music can be.

@Pioneer1 are you still out there?

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has arrested and charged former police officers who were responsible for the raid and firing shots that led to Breonna Taylor's death. It took almost 2. 5 years to bring these killers to justice but better later than never. I hope AG Merrick Garland brings a solid case against them. Breonna Taylor's family has already won a civil suit. Putting these murderers behind bars would bring justice full circle. 😎

Hi everyone. I am currently studying Concept Art for games and I would really like an open discussion on the topic of representation of race and cultures in games. As an artist I feel it is my duty to create interesting characters of all races and cultures but I feel ,although getting better, feel this lacks in the gaming industry. So here's a question to start the topic. I'm currently working on a Monk based character specifically shaolin monk. I want to make the character Asian. Is this racial stereotyping? I wanted to honour and represent the monk character correctly, but where do I draw the line between racial stereotyping and honouring a cultures herita…

Do you all believe in beating the snot out of... I mean, spanking your child? I don't have children(yet), but I don't trust a lot of new gen ideas that only talking to children teaches them correction. I believe that works with some children who have the sweetest demeanor but others, who live to cause destruction, need a more... Uh, stern lesson? What's your opinions?

For those of you who believe race is ONLY a "social construct" with no genetic basis, or those of you who believe that just because a person "looks" White phenotypically....they could actually really be "Black", I have a question..... We've seen plenty of so-called "Black" people who could obviously pass for White but the Black community accepts them and embraces them as Black despite their appearance. Where are the White people who LOOK Black or Asian but actually are White and are recognized and embraced as fellow White people? Show me the man or woman who LOOKS Black but actually is "White" and is fully accepted as such by the White community. …

What I never hear from various people, black or non black, is nixon was pardoned. USA history shows the president is immune. I know alot of blacks in the usa, I am not certain most, like the concept of individual equality . Maybe want it implemented. But the usa has a heritage of inequality, not equality. I think the frederick douglass folk in the black populace have always believed the usa can become the federation of star trek. The problem is the casualties in the black populace in the usa lalong this journey.....

You have to be delusional TO A CERTAIN DEGREE in order to really achieve Success in this world. You can't be too stuck in the current "here and now" or focus only on what you THINK is likely or probable. You have to be a dreamer and dream big and actually believe those dreams can and will be accomplished. This is important for intelligent and righteous Black people to understand and accept.

This Email is respectively submitted to asked for your assistance in getting my book Sellout published. Sellout tells the story of three African American Student Athletes at predominantly white universities. The book also examines the unfair Student Athlete System. I'm passionate about this subject and believe our young men and women are being exploited for others profits. I honestly lack the resources and connections to bring this important issue to the public. This is my opportunity to provide the lifestyle I want for me and my family.

This comment was placed on one of the sites pages, where room is left for comments. Normally I just flag these comments as spam, delete them and keep it moving. The poster also has a "Low Reputation" on Disqus (the commenting software I use throughout the website). They also used a restricted word "smegma." I see nothing wrong with the word, but apparently Disqus see it as a flag for spammers and the like. I started to read the article but I stopped once I got the line in all caps that says, "THE BIBLE IS SCIENTIFICALLY ACCURATE." Why do some religious folks have to insist that the Bible is scientifically accurate. This is absurd on it's face. However just …

WTF!? Amazon has stooped to a new low by making this claim. To make matters FAR worse, they have the unmitigated gall to fly the Black Liberation Flag in one of their corporate offices! This is outrageous! When I saw this photo on Amazon's site (despite Boycotting Amazon I visit periodically to see what Amazon is doing with Ibram's book). Amazon is the antithesis of Black liberation which is what this flag represents. I have not taken out an ad on Twitter in years, but I took one out today -- just to highlight Amazon's hypocrisy (we will see how that works out). Sure Amazon gave out $10 million to some civil r…
