    During an interview with GQ magazine Usain Bolt said something that most Black athletes don't have the guts to say. He challenged the White/Western standards of morality and social ethics by plainly and openly proclaiming that it's part of his culture to have sex with many women. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/more-sports/usain-bolt-culture-asked-womanizing-article-1.2874442 I've been saying for years that MOST (not all) Black men are polygamous and it's part of our nature. It's nothing to "admit" because admission implies guilt, and this is certainly not something to be ashamed or guilty of. If anything, it's a sign of mental and physical health to be the epit…

    Well, my vote has been cast; though Hillary did not exactly need it as she will win my district and state by a healthy margin I'm sure. CBS reported that Virgina, Texas, and New York were are at risk of a terrorist attack by al Qaeda before the election. There were no details or instructions on what we should do in reaction. Cynical me says, CBS are desperate and will do anything for clicks. I think folks in the Deep South have more to fear from American terrorism after the election...

    Hillary Clinton did win the popular vote. So her entrenched constituency came through for her. Her problem was that she didn't make any converts. Apparently, the "undecided" voters ended up going for Donald Trump because they were fed up with the Black lives matter movement, with the LGBT community, with Plannned Parenthood, with Mexican Immigrants, with the Muslim presence, with Native American protests, with the assumption that celebrities would influence how they voted, and last but no least, with the idea of Hillary Clinton perpetuating the liberal agenda that Barak Obama represented. Opposing all of this is what they truly believed would make America great again. Thi…

    Well, The Chicago Cubs ended their 108-year drought and finally won the world series! I went through the motions of celebrating because this year's team really was the best in the league and deserved the honor. But me, my late husband, and one of my sons have been Chicago White Sox fans since day one, and it's extremely hard for die-hard Sox backers to cheer for the Cubs. And vice versa, as demonstrated by the Cub supporters in my family who were luke warm when the White Sox won the pennant in 2005. But, if ever Chicago needed a shot in the arm to deaden the shame of the reputation it has gained as the murder capital of America, it is now. This is a good time to rem…

    I recently read something said by Patrick Buchanan, a staunch Republican conservative and political pundit, who has finally decided to cast his vote for Donald Trump. He said that Trump's promise to make America great again was what won him over. He further stated that the reason everything ran smoothly in the past was because everyone stayed in their place, - implying that separate but equal was better than racial integration, and that when women remained in the home where they belonged families were better and that, where gays were concerned, "don't ask, don't tell" was the best policy. He also said that having white men in charge was how it should be because they obvi…

  15. Once you buy a book, CD or DVD, it’s indisputably yours and can’t be taken back by the seller. You can lend it, give it away, leave it to your heirs or sell it to a secondhand store. But the truth is that in most cases, “buying” digital content doesn’t confer any of those other rights. Rights to digital content or items have been revoked abruptly by Amazon, Apple and Barnes & Noble for a variety of reasons. Amazon stealthily removed versions of George Orwell’s “1984” and “Animal Farm” from customers’ Kindle e-readers after copyright issues arose with those versions; iTunes has removed albums from users’ accounts after the albums were withdrawn or changed by the…

    History Before the World Wide Web (WWW) became available to the general public discussion forums were quite popular on privately run bulletin boards. Operating these bulletin board required a high level of technical expertise and an significant investment of time and money to manage. Even the participants had to be tech savvy just to participate. Later corporate run platforms like AOL and CompuServe stepped in and made things much easier for everyone. Running forums, and participating in them, was made a lot easier. Of course you had to play by the rules laid down by the corporations, plus they charged monthly fee just to participate. The opening of t…

Combining impressive scholarship with a novelist s gift for storytelling, Van Sertima re-creates some of the most powerful scenes of human history: the launching of the great ships of Mali in 1310 (two hundred master boats and two hundred supply boats), the sea expedition of the Mandingo king in 1311, and many others.

Over the past decade Manhattan has become a much nicer city. The image below shows the old meat packing district which used to be a freaking disaster. Today it is home to some of the most expensive real estate in the country. I don't get it, because I would definitely not want to live in the area.

Obviously, everybody had a childhood, a way station in their life's journey which embodied the joys and woes that came with the territory of growing up. To me, what makes anybody's childhood unique is the era i…

When Donald Trump says "Lets Make America Great Again," what his supporters hear is a return to a time when kids can grow up like Cynique did. Black people like to interpret this to mean Trump wants Black people enslaved again. Today the white community is being ravished by a heroin epidemic; millions have lost their homes due to crooked Wall Street bankers; good paying jobs, for those without a college degrees have dried up; and those with a college degree struggle to find meaningful work that pays enough to get …

    I would like to have my perceptions about the America's black dilemma analyzed because as a senior citizen, I like to solicit opinions from the younger generation in order to broaden my perspective. These are some of the images that my retinas capture, and they dwell in my head, begging to be interpreted. Take the evening news, for instance: When watching it, It's routine for me to see a staff of well-groomed blacks appearing on my screen: an anchor person, a weatherman, a sports reporter, all giving a credible accounting of themselves in the public eye.

    This is something I've never been clear about,Troy. When authors go on Thumper's Corner and request book reviews, what happens next? Are they accommodated with a review and do such reviews automatically appear in AALBC's monthly newsletter? Also, you have said that pictures can be uploaded into a post. But I see no search engine for doing this.. How is it done? Also, as a courtesy, why don't you use the "Edit" feature once you post what I assume are responses you key in a hurry or from your iPhone? This would eliminate the distractions of typos. And are opinion pieces that appear on this site copyrighted by AALBC? MEOOOOOOW.
