Culture, Race & Economy

I have never visited 45's Twitter page before 2 minutes ago. There was not need to mainstream and social media shovel 45's tweets as if the were in a race to be the first to share his BS. 7 minutes ago 45 tweeted the following: I was on the New York Times website, while reading a completely unrelated article about the Supreme Court's decision which changes the rules of the collection of sales tax by online retailers. Inside the article the Times included a tweet by Trump applauding the decision (which tells me this must be a bad decision for business like mine). This is what prompted me to visit 45's page 45 has over 53 million followe…

yeah, I could have been something special, but one night I saw something that had rocked my world. From almost the very first day that I was able to discern the nuances of speech and language, I was cautioned against going on 7th Street at night, especially a Friday night. During the day, 7th Street, it seemed, was no different than 6th Street where I stayed, but on the weekend, something or someone—the devil, perhaps—shook 7th Street up until it vomited, throwing up all the bitterness and anger of helpless niggas trapped in a maze of hopelessness. For nine long years, I had dutifully stayed away, running into the house …

After years of careful observation of the interactions of our people (actually people of color in general) with Caucasians -I've come to the conclusion that most of our people don't know the difference between KNOWLEDGE and INFORMATION. And because they don't know the difference, they think they have "facts" and "knowledge" when all they really have is speculation, conjecture, and false information. They are victims of the greatest tool the system called "White Supremacy" uses to maintain it's power: CONFUSION. They are CONFUSED about what is true and not true because they don't know or understand the difference between KNOWLEDGE and mere INFORMATI…

I'm looking around for some software that will make comments on this site's web pages and maybe even replace the discussion forum software. The account creation really discourages people from participating. The video was on one of those vendors' websites. I liked the spirit of the video.

Has the community collectively given up on tackling this issue? I tend to see it affect more black women than men, but both have struggles with it.

this video is from the ny times it evades the visions of laughter from law enforcement. SOmeone attempting to hang themselves is funny. the following is from ny1 where i got the stills, most of the news outlets to their forever dishonor have omitted form their videos the clear evidence of law enforcers laughing at this. I know many see the issue as feliciano but for the issue is black law enforcers who think hanging is a joke. I don't even know what my parents parents who knew what a hanging of a black person was like will say. I wonder. Let alone my parents, parents, parents whom i know were abused by whites in various ways I will not go int…

Policies of the current administration are being protested. Of course, POTUS OJ himself is being reminded the US doesn't have a king. Never to be out done, the Republicans are calling it the Hate America Rallies. Possibly trying to stir up counter-protests. The organizers of the No Kings protests are committed to peaceful gatherings. Hopefully it will remain that way without any issues.😎

Since things have become so hectic around here what with accusations flying and recollections being dredged up and old feuds being revisited, I feel the need to add my voice to the dissonance and clear up a few things. I beg the indulgence of the registered members and thumb my nose at the motley crew of “guests”. I stumbled upon Thumper's Corner quite by accident about 10 years ago when, as a newbie to the internet, I was surfing around checking out chat rooms. When I first posted here, I used my real first name, but quickly abandoned this option upon realizing this was was an unwise decision. Thereafter I briefly took on the title “Critique” since that seemed to …

In my ongoing quest to do what some will find boring, the next two entries are meant to remind people that before Motown, Disco, Psychadelic Funk, Hip-hop, and Rap, black people snapped their fingers and patted their feet to other types of R&B music. Yeah, you know a little about the Blues. BB King. Roberty Cray. But, let’s go back a little further, back to the 1930s. Myth has it that musician Robert Johnson went to the crossroads and while there, sold his soul to the devil in exchange for the amazing guitar skills he inexplicably acquired. Nobody does, or did it better. Blues aficionados claim Johnson approached his guitar like a keyboard and treated the strin…

Group Calls on Black Community to Reclaim Black Economic Power by Bob Law From http://www.buyblackallyearlong.com New York, NY – A coalition of Black media owners, professional and political organizations are calling on African American consumers across the nation to begin immediately to redirect a minimum of $20.00 per week in spending to Black-owned businesses. The initiative being called “The Million Dollar Black Spending Power Campaign” is being organized by local groups in a number of key cities. It is projected that even with minimal support this effort may turn one million dollars per week back into predominantly Black communities throughout the countr…

Hello, my fellow black writers. I’m a recent graduate (June 2017) of Full Sail University with a Bachelor’s degree for Creative Writing in Entertainment. I write character-driven drama films focused around the young black man to give our society a different viewpoint of who we are and to show that we’re living humans like everyone else. I introduce myself to you all on here in frustration. I feel that I’m not being given fair consideration when it comes to the writing jobs out there. Here it is November again, I’ve been looking for a writing job since last November. And don’t mean I’m just out her trying to zap a screenwriting career, I mean me securing a writ…

{Looking around like the last guy on Earth surveying his surroundings after a nuclear holocaust or the Rapture.} Since @harry brown has posted recently, I presume the site is not broken. Indeed, in the time that it took me to write this 16 people have visited this forum: I guess the period between Palm Sunday and Easter is really slow around here. Maybe everyone is on spring break (actually mine starts Friday). Or maybe, more ominously, social media's domination and control over the online conversation is now complete. Does that mean I can't communicate with my people unless I go to Facebook... Lawd help me!

We are all aware of the mainstream media's negative narrative about black men. We are constantly bombarded with stories of high incarceration rates, black on black violence, deadbeat dads and of course police brutality. From the outside looking in it appears that black men are destined for failure and there is nothing that can be done to change the implied negative trajectory that black men are on. But is the media's narrative true? Are black men really an endangered species? I believe the answer is an emphatic no and I have made it my life's to work to support and empower black men to overcome the negative stereotypes and to create extraordinary lives. In ord…

I watched this video and I believe that if more of our Elected Officials took this class we would have a different dialogue today. Let me know what your thoughts are.

I would like to clear up a possible misconception pertaining to my last post about mixed bloods and the one drop rule. It was inappropriately entitled Why Blacks Continue To Hold On To The One Drop Rule and Mixed People. On face value, it may have seemed as though I was blaming black people for perpetuating the one drop rule. Nothing could be further from the truth. I was just pointing out reasons why blacks may be a little leery of bi racial people having their own racial category. The one drop rule was established by Anglo American colonizers to maintain white social status and preserve the purity of the ra…

@Stefan I remember you said in another thread we as AfroAmericans need to form coalitions and alliances with other groups as a political strategy but I forgot which thread it was. At any rate...... How are we gonna link up with other groups when we haven't even united (to a certain degree atleast) among OURSELVES first? AfroAmericans are one of the most divided demographics of this nation. Divided religiously, politically, socially, even sexually. There's even a massive divide and conflict between several GENERATIONS among our people....all pointing the finger and blaming eachother for current and past problems. When you're weak and suffering …

College tuition is going through the atmosphere. Student loan debt is ridiculous. Non-STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) degrees will become less valuable especially as technology takes over jobs that do not require human hands. Folks are beginning to have the conversation that trade schools might be a better option than a 4 year degree from a college or university. STEM degrees will most likely always land a job somewhere. However, Liberal Arts and Business majors might be in trouble. Talk to young Black folks within your circle about considering a trade especially if they aren't STEM strong. …

I'm not religious, but the belief that our sista Sonya Massey's murder was demonic and a manifestation of a spiritual battle SHOULD be on the lips of every so-called Christian...especially Black Christian....in the United States. I personally think it was just a racist doing what racists do which is harm and mistreat people of color; however to a Christian...for somebody to be murdered after uttering the name of Jesus -should be alarming. And the fact that it's not, and the conversation has pretty much "moved on" from this tragedy is disturbing. What these non-Black people discussed in these videos and their insight were not only SPOT ON but it was actuall…

Some have argued that since the concept of race and racial categories are social constructs, they somehow aren't real...and some even argue that they "don't exist". From a secular perspective, both Marriage and Religion are social constructs. Should we apply the same standard to them, and argue that they "don't really exist" either?

The big swing bands of the 1930s and early 40s were who provided dance music for hep cats and fly chicks.

The name Jimmy Lunceford may not be as familiar but he was also a trail blazer in this domain. For trivia buffs Lunceford was once the rival of Harlem Renaissance poet, Countee Cullin for the hand of W.E.B.DuBois’ daughter. Countee got the girl because her family found him more acceptable than a transient saxophone player. Jimmy got the last laugh, however, when …

Britain apologizes for playing apartheid-era anthem By Richard Allen Greene, CNN updated 12:22 PM EDT, Thu June 7, 2012 London (CNN) -- British field hockey authorities have been forced to apologize "unreservedly" to South Africa after an old national anthem from the days of apartheid was played before an international game this week. Great Britain Hockey called the mistake "sensitive" and "unfortunate." "It was completely shocking," the chief executive of South Africa hockey said of hearing the pre-1994 anthem "Die Stem" being played before Tuesday's game in London. "I thought, 'What is that?' And when I listened further, I realized it was 'Die Stem.…

Someone forwarded this to me today on Facebook with the instructions to "forward this every Black person you know." I have to admit I was a little excited because i thought now, finally, some Black leaders are getting together to take substantive action against the NFL since Colin Kaepernick has been neutralized. I dug a bit deeper into this effort and see that he video was created LAST YEAR! My hopes were dashed because obviously this effort had less than zero impact. Why didn't this effort go viral on the Web? The video has been posted several times on youtube. The one with the most views (that I could find) is shared below. It got less than…
