Black Americans Are Seeing Biden For Who He Is - Dr. Carol Miller Swain https://rumble.com/vnctd1-black-americans-are-seeing-biden-for-who-he-is.html

A century later, many physicists question whether a single objective reality, shared by all observers, exists at all. https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg24532670-700-what-is-reality-why-we-still-dont-understand-the-worlds-true-nature/

Official: Gang kills, burns former Haitian senator, nephew A Haitian official says a former senator who worked for the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor has been killed in an upscale neighborhood near Haiti’s capital and his body set on fire along with his nephew ByEVENS SANON Associated Press August 07, 2022, 6:44 AM Share PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti -- A former senator who worked for the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor was killed in an upscale neighborhood near Haiti's capital and his body set on fire along with his nephew, Government Commissioner Jacques Lafontant told The Associated Pr…

Just how important was Raphael Warnock’s re-election victory? Wheeeeeely Important. It was the first time since 1934 that every Senate incumbent of the party of a sitting President won reelection. That is history making. As I’ve said before, Biden’s careful handling of the country and its economy is far superior to anything Trump ever managed. By adding to their one seat margin, Democrats no longer have to depend on Conservatives Joe Manchin (D-WVa) or Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) to pass bills or confirm judges. Both have been notoriously unreliable since 2021 when Democrats needed them to pass Covid relief bills and they steadfastly refused to cons…

As I was telling the good Professor in another thread, I actually believe that Reparations WILL come, and I mean in OUR lifetime. I kind of questioned it years ago, but now.....as I look at the momentum of FBAs across the U.S......I think something is going to have to happen. I'm a PanAfricanist and not given over to tribalism, but I have to give it to the ADOS and FBA movements. Their largely anti-immigrant and anti-African rhetoric seems to be a unifying factor for a lot of AfroAmericans to rally around. ....and as history has shown us time and time again, one of our greatest strengths is our UNITY. So I truly believe Reparations is coming. …

ProfD Sure we could. We choose not to abort (proverbially) or drop squad them. We are so loving & forgiving & don't snitch, etc. I don't think it's a matter of them being so "loving" or "forgiving" as much as many of our people are just so selfish and short sighted that as long as whatever foolishness going on in the neighborhood doesn't affect them PERSONALLY...they don't care. But some of those "loving and forgiving" people will kill somebody over $10 if THEY get cheated. They don't care about the community or who sold who out, they only care about getting THEIRS....and THEY'D sell out if given the opportunity. …

The Longest Fight: In the Ring with Joe Gans, Boxing's First African American Champion http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbxmjmfzJoI Joe Gans (November 25, 1874 - August 10, 1910) was born Joseph Gant in Baltimore, Maryland. Gans was rated as the greatest lightweight boxer of all time by boxing historian and Ring Magazine founder, Nat Fleischer and was known as the "Old Master." He fought from 1891 to 1909. He was the first African-American World Boxing Champion, reigning continuously as World Lightweight Champion from 1902 to 1908.

I've been publishing film reviews almost as long as I have been publishing book reviews -- more than 15 years. About seven years ago, in an efforts to bolster traffic, I began regularly publishing film reviewsy. Some months, for a number of reasons, I may actually pub more film reviews than book reviews. Since someone has to write the screenplay and often screenwriters are also novelist, film and books are related so I don't see film reviews as a radical departure from the focus of AALBC.com. Generally, I try to publish reviews of certainly the most prominent Black indie films (domestic and foreign). I'm actually quite happy to be working with Kam Williams w…

"And to those of you who say I know nothing about Hiphop, if “Blurred Lines” is Hiphop, I don’t want to know anything about it. So let me officially go on record now and say that I hate Hiphop. There are certain artists who claim Hiphop that I dig, but Hiphop as a whole is wack. It’s a parasitic culture that preys on real musicians for its livelihood. I may not know anything about Hiphop, but I don’t have to. Without real artists and musicians like me, you’d have nothing to steal. I know enough about it all to know that."

Whether it's race, class, gender, sexual orientation, or gender identity our society is troubled to the least. It doesn't matter which party controls Congress or the Presidency either. Getting any significant political reform to benefit working people or ensure a more free and equal society for all seems impossible. So, what's wrong? What keeps us from moving forward? Consider the narrative of a center-right political consensus. Secondly, the role of so called moderate centrists especially in the Democratic Party; and lastly the role of wealthy people and big corporations. Politicians in both parties more or less uphold the idea of less government, lower taxe…

According to the BBC, WNBA star Britney Griner has been freed in exchange for that Russian arms dealer. This is why one should NEVER count out President Joe Biden. Think that clown Trump would have done much to help free her?

Excuse me for rambling on a Sunday morning but I figured I'd share this minor message of hope and inspiration for those who may need a "word" today. As Troy and many of you who work with computers already know, computers are very very complex. Just when you think you know your computer and it's abilities....you continue to be educated on what you THOUGHT you knew but actually DIDN'T know and still DON'T know about it. I'm no computer tech, but every so often when I have a little free time on my hands and I'm bored, I'll go "exploring" my computer. Going through the Settings and Programs checking things out and call myself trying to figure out and find out wh…

What she misses is a crossroads of three things. First, the studios want to maximize profit, which means they want to use media properties they already own and attract the most sales. Second, the properties studios own are quite old, decades old, centuries old and tend to be created by white people of european descent filled with mostly characters described in appearance or culture as white of european descent, which has the problem of not being as attractive to non whites than non white characters. Third, the modern buyers of media content are not overwhelmingly , overwhelmingly meaning seventy five percent or more , of white European descent and the studios want to cate…

I love this performance. Maxwell was supposed to battle D'Angelo in Verzus, but he didn't show up. D'Angelo went on and did that damn thing anyway. Then H.E.R. showed up to do this duet - and it was heaven. Thank you, D'Angelo, for sharing your beautiful talent! May beautiful music follow you as you continue your journey. 😍 D’Angelo, Grammy-winning R&B singer, dies at 51 | AP News

The Only One Chapter 20 No, he hadn’t seen Debbie Marlowe lately, Troy Briggs ruminated as he made his way through a crowded hall in City Wide’s main office, on his way to a conference room on the other side of the building. But, then, there were a lot of people he hadn’t seen lately, including Carole Everly who had just asked him about Debbie during their conversation in the employee lounge, - an inquiry that was now inspiring a flashback… …Yeah, everything between him and his Barbie Doll had been great at first, what with how each one was trying to make a good impression.

@Troy @Mel Hopkins @Cynique @Pioneer1 Apparently you can't trust NASA to provide accurate data since 1980. Interesting how 1980 seems to be an important year. For Climate change . All projections are based on 1986 - 2005. So all of Climate Change is based on 30 years of data.

I thought it only fitting to leave a departing message since I've contributed a lot comments to the culture, race & economy forum. It appears the conversations here have deteriorated into hateful and fearful rhetoric, zero-sum comparisons and nothing good comes from those ideas. So, I bid this forum adieu. I'm signing off here but not AALBC's readingblack.com ✌️

LeBron James questions whether long lines in Georgia primaries are result of systemic racism LeBron James has not only become disgusted with the disturbing trend of law-enforcement officials killing unarmed black men. The Los Angeles Lakers star also pointed out how the long lines in certain neighborhoods during this week's Georgia primary elections mark yet another example of systemic racism. James was responding to a Politico reporter's tweet that election lines took hours in some Atlanta neighborhoods while there were no long waits in white, suburban areas. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/2020/06/09/lakers-lebron-james-critical-long-li…

Nothing is more intimately related to the emotional welfare of the black male than the sum of his fears. From the start, it would be rather amiss of me if I didn’t relate that what I have discovered about fear is that fear can be either a life experience or a life sentence dependent upon the torque and velocity of that particular fear. For example, my fear of fire has prevented me from foolishly thrusting my hand into an open flame, and it is precisely fear of this nature that has proven to be a life-affirming experience. Then you have, on the other hand, those fears that are so mind-numbing they are a “emotional” life sentence. Despite the fact that I posse…

My divorce from the black race is final. I am no longer wed to this sprawling entity reeling under the spell of the "what black folks need to do" mantra, an insanity that chants the same things over and over again, expecting different results, blaming the same conditions, fixating on the same villains, excusing the same behavior, mesmerized by the same denial, creating the seductive narrative that my diminished appeal couldn't compete with. My own unfaithfulness made things worse. Love didn't conquer all. Now, here i am, on my own, lanquishing under the radar, living out my remaining days, realizing that some things are just not meant to be... Should a gr…

IRENE CARA: DID YOU KNOW THAT SHE WAS BLACK LISTED!? Oh Wow! This popular youtuber showed up on my channel, but I have never heard of her until now. I did not know that Irene Cara was also part Cuban. Her father is a Black man from Puerto Rico and her mother is cuban. Irene Cara was born in the Bronx, New York, so I just learned about a new term that I've never heard of until now regarding Puerto Rican people who whom were born in New York and thereabouts. They have been referred to as "Nuyorican". Interesting. My step-brother is from Buffalo, New York, however, I've never heard him say anything about this. I did not hear of this on this channel but there are …

You tax dollars at work... I don't know where I learned about this video but the title of this post is what I used to find it in about 2 seconds. Initially I found the video was shocking; to see a room full of multi-billionaires supplicate themselves before the President. That alone should give you an indication of how powerful the man is. Trump is perhaps the most powerful man in human history. Reuters deliberately edited this video of billionaires bending the knee to the president in such a way to illicit the reaction I had. In context of the dinner itself it probably was not as bad as it comes across with this edit... I guess I'll …

Brother Leroy Baylor Co-host of The Communicators The Black management of WHCR has been told by the heads of City College and the CUNY system to take The Communicators off WHCR-90.3FM immediately. This is due to the false charge of antisemitism . I and the show have been portrayed as antisemitism in an ongoing campaign beginning formerly in 2006. It has increased since Minister Farrakhan appeared on The Communicators when Libya was invaded. It is a campaign to defame my name and character. The onslaught of charges of antisemitism relate to any time I mention Minister Farrkahan's name and The Final Call newspaper and articles within it. For example…

Greetings! I would like to introduce my book, The Church of the Cosmic Mother: Metaphysics For the African American Seeker, to be considered for a book review. ISBN13: 978-1980973461, originally published March 9, 2015. The Church of the Cosmic Mother is a guide to African American spirituality for the 21st century. Combining metaphysics, science, philosophy and a strong dose of Black Nationalism, it is an antidote to the dogma implied in monotheistic traditions that black is evil. Rather, it introduces the concept of the Divine Feminine as the lost connection between our blackness and our holiness.As a metaphysics book, it is primarily conce…

"If we must die, let it not be like hogs, Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot, While round us bark the mad and hungry dogs, Making their mock at our accursed lot. If we must die, oh, let us nobly die So that our precious blood may not be shed In vain; then even the monsters we defy Shall be constrained to honor us, though dead! Oh, kinsman! We must meet the common foe; Though far outnumbered, let us still be brave, And for their thousand blows deal one death-blow! What though before us lies the open grave? Like men we’ll face the murderous, cowardly pack, Pressed to the wall, dying, but - fighting back!" Messenger Magazine was one…

Republicans demand your vote, but don't care if you or your diabetic friends and relatives die when they can't afford their insulin. I guess that's why sliced a measure to prevent private insurers from gouging insulin patients from the Democrats' climate and economic bill that was just passed in the Senate. And before anyone says "it would have cost too much," remember those trillion dollar tax cuts for the rich. The money was supposed to "trickle down" to the Middle Class and the Poor. Republicans block cap on insulin costs

What is the United Nations Doing About HAITI? And, can anything be done to help the people, especially the children?

Apparently, many Haitian's fled to Mexico and thereabouts after the 2010 earthquake and are now being deported back to Haiti by the Biden administration. And many of them were actually born in Mexico and have never been to Haiti, so obviously many of them being sent to Haiti are children and teen agers! Lately, I have been doing a little research about Haiti and I am honestly very surprised about what I have …
