65th Day of ‪#‎BlackHistoryMonth‬: Booker T. Washington author of UP FROM SLAVERY born April 5, 1856

CYNIQUE SAYS: This recent exchange that follows may have gotten lost on the thread invaded by the relentless postings of the serial poster, sara. I thought it was an interesting conversation that deserved its own thread. PIONEER SAID: "Nearly all diseases afflicting humanity are man-made either directly or indirectly from not living by attempting to defy and go against nature. Infact, what we called "Western Civilization" has been a major contributor to the suffering of mankind as people no longer live in harmony with nature. -Glasses are good for correcting your sight...but they also make the eyes weaker. -Cars are good for for f…

My friend, and seer Delano from waaaay across the ocean posted a 2 work message in regard to a long rebuttal I had posted to untruths directed at personal recollection essays I have posted in the past. So I deleted the rebuttal. Wise psychic that he is, Delano said what I needed to hear: "Why justify?" And he's right. Why waste time on feeding the troll. Just sit back and let her starve. And I am psychic enough to know how sara will respond to his... same ol same ol.

Chicago never wants for controversy. The city abounds with it in all areas: politics, police misconduct, gang killings, a pending teachers strikes, an increasingly unpopular mayor. A couple of weeks ago, I could barely finish wiping my tears over the collapse of my beloved Chicago Bulls basketball team, when a spring training episode erupted in controversy centered around the White Sox. Because one of the Sox's designated hitters with a big contract, was called out by the general manager for bringing his 14-year-old son to work every day, this indignant player opted out of a lucrative contract and quit!. Chicagoland immediately began to take sides on this issue.…

If you live long enough, some time you get to see things come full circle. After I enrolled as a Freshman at the University of Illinois in September of 1951, I soon became immersed in a tight little community consisting of about 300 black students on a campus whose total population was an eclectic mix of 25,000 or so young mid-westerners from the farms and villages, towns and cities all over the state of Illinois, fresh-faced sons and daughters of the heartland, venturing out into the world, eager to further their educations at the flagship state university whose alma mater statue towered over the campus broad walk, welcoming all comers with open arms. Among the black g…

I just published a review of the new film War Room. It was the #1 grossing film this Friday, and was #2 behinding the HEAVILY promoted NWA flick for the weekend. What, never heard of War Room? Neither did I. At least not before publishing this review. I did not see a trailer. I read no social media buzz, nothing on Black Twitter (well maybe there was, but I don't follow it). I mean I did not even get a press release. Karen Hunter mentioned it on her radio show today (thank for what little Black media we do have left). If it were not for Karen I would not have known that this was a film with Black main characters and directed by a Black man! Now as I was looking f…

Hello Fam, it's been a while since I posted here. Feels great to be back. I'm sure most you are aware of SOME of what's going on in the city of Flint Michigan. But being from Detroit and having traveled to Flint many times and having friends and family up there, what's NOT talked about as much is Flint's high crime and violence rate. And there is a CLEAR link between lead contamination and not only violence but also low IQ and poor academic performance. Check out this amazing article I found from Mother Jones Magazine linking lead and violence: Mother Jones Lead and Violence If this is accurate, and I believe it is....then it would explain the high crime …

“...[Trump] may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS...” This is outrageous admission from a news organization, and clearly articulates the problem with what we euphemistically describe as journalism today. The behavior of CBS and their peers is THE reason Donald has a great chance of actually becoming the president of the united states. Ok we know the POTUS is a figurehead largely responsible for doing the bidding of the ultra rich, but to actually elect of of these guys is alarming. But hey in a culture fed on reality TV and celebrity, what do you expect? The most outrageous and the most popular wins.

43rd Day of ‪#‎BlackHistoryMonth‬: Activist Fannie Lou Hamer passed 39 years ago today. I missed a few days, but I was out of town--fortunate enough to be invited to participate in the Kingston Book Festival (more on that later). I really wanted to personally make a Black History Month post every day of the year, but it is just impractical. I really admire Fannie Lou Hamer.

Here are thoughts on Flint, please read and respond with thoughts please. Thank you! http://www.cgoodwork.com/blog/2016/2/14/7exiji9a6m27le67wfkrf4r7pdxdhe

Race Race is based strictly on physical characteristics and genes. African , Caucasian, Native American, ect.....(there are other races) Ethnicity Ethnic grouping involves SOME race, but for the most part it involves shared history, religion, diet, language, social customs, ect..... AfroAmerican, Jewish, Arab, ect.... Nationality Nationality is basically what nation you were born in or in some cases depending on the laws, what country your parents were born in. Canadian (born in Canada), French (born in France), Nigerian (born in Nigeria)..... I'd personally put "tribes" in this category. Hausa, Fulani, Aztec, Choctaw, Cherokee, Zulu, Flemish, …

Have you ever found yourself wondering why humans look different? Why some people may have eyes that appear to be slanted? Why some people may have light skin, blue eyes and blonde hair or why others may have dark skin, coarse or kinky hair and dark colored eyes. Well, the answer is called a mutation, which occurs in every generation when the sperm from a male fertilizes the egg of a female. Now mutations are not a bad thing, actually, they're a good thing because without them all humans would look the same. How boring would that be? This ground breaking documentary entitled The Myth of Race and the Evolution of Skin Color answers those questions by combining an…

Bro Troy stated: “But I will not blame the victims for the root cause of the problem, which stems from an economic system entrenched with white racism.” Really? And that’s the problem. Instead of holding people accountable for their personal poor decisions making and the consequences of those poor decisions –you will give them a free pass and blame their reckless self-destructive behavior on history and past grievances. Trust me –I am more than aware of the historical injustices and race based violence that black people in America labored under. But the uber dysfunction and hyper-violence that is pandemic with Negroes today has nothing to do with slavery, segregatio…

I get friend requests like this on a regular, almost daily basis. I noticed this trend last year. But it seems to be getting worse lately. I know one of Facebook's biggest challenges is dealing with stuff like this as these pages surely contain links to sites with viruses, malware, spam you name it--which you can quickly spread to others. Usually the images are not quite so pronographic, typically a provocative bathroon mirror selfie, but sometimes the images are FAR worse (or better depending upon your predictions). This is the the kind of photo that gets a site banned from Google, but Facebook is strong enough in that they don't have to worry about …

24th Day of ‪#‎BlackHistoryMonth‬ - Zora Neale Hurston’s - Glossary of Harlem Slang

I have a book that needs to be written, but I need help to put it together because it is so deeply personal. I believe that this book needs to go through a traditional publishing company to reach the public. How do I get an established publisher to talk to me? I have previously self-published several times.

Please take a look and share your thoughts. Please like and share if you like it or love it. Thank you for your time and readership! http://www.cgoodwork.com/blog/2016/2/21/bh9tt45tulb1m4igr9jhvb2fcjv799

I did not know Miles Davis went around shooting at people so often. It is surprising he did not land in jail. Interesting how they worked the white guy so prominently into the film; even in the trailer his presence seems forced. It looks like yet another brilliant performance from Don Cheadle.

Nielsen reports that African-Americans outpace all groups when consuming media through multi-platforms. According to the audience measurement company, African-Americans watch more television, access their favorite websites, many of which feature financial or career content, through apps and/or mobile browsers. "On a monthly basis, blacks spend close to 56 hours using apps or mobile Internet browsers on their smartphones and about two and a half hours watching videos on their smartphones. Additionally, 81% of African-Americans are more likely to show support for a favorite company or brand using social media, and 76% are more likely to share opinions by posting re…

18th Day of ‪#‎BlackHistoryMonth‬ Carter G. Woodson’s Appeal: A Lost Manuscript

This audio interview was done in 2009. Ishmael saw into the future better than Nostradamus. But it is very frustrating to listen to this because while Ishmael is speaking the truth his behavior, particularly on Facebook, goes directly counter to what he is saying here. He is making Marky Z rich, as the saying goes... I just don't get it. I have invited him to comment here on occasion as well, but he never has. Of course it is terribly difficult to pull people off Facebook, so that does not make Ishmael unusual, but I don't expect usual behavior from a man of his intellect. We need him engaging on Black owned platforms.

Is this rap any good, why or why not?
