Shocked but not Surprised. The horrible summer of 1919 was more terrifying for Blacks across country in the U.S.A. than for Whites. All Americans with different goals. The book RED SUMMER is a documentation and not so subtle reminder of the foundation upon which Black Americans seek to build shelters for survival. The events of 100 years ago reflect that fears and motivations driving the current levels of social deniable and blind ambivalence to a tradition abusive police behavior against citizens of color. Author, Cameron McWhirter, of RED SUMMER, traces key activist organizations and national cities to document the seeds and spreading terror that rises and falls like na…

What Hapened to Shanquella Robinson? This is a disturbing story. I feel so much sorrow for what that precious young woman has endured and the awful way that she had to suffer and then die. It is my opinion that she was obviously murdered and perhaps set up, then brutally attacked while a group of evil people that she thought were her friends watched. I just can't believe that someone would have that kind of spirit to do that to someone. No one deserves this. If someone had a problem with her, then they should have given her the human right to be tried in a court of law. But at what point did this premeditated death trap begin for this poor girl? Was it planned…

Many Black descended of enslaved complain that all black people do is complain, not enough action. But the articles linked at the end of this post, are complaints from two groups: one a gender race, the other a linguistic race, not the black phenotypical race. What is my point? Black people in the usa and elsewhere tend to complain that we are the only ones who complain and everyone else are great do-ers, the two articles prove by the words of those in other communities, they are not do-ers. The articles are below if you want to read https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2390&type=status

My issue is that the NYPD was given an order by the law, they failed to do it. Do they go to prison? This is the truest issue with law enforcement in the usa,holistically. It has no way to be policed itself. Many people in local media talk about oversight but law enforcement is meant to be the liason of the government itself. So when law enforcement, the liason commits crimes, who is supposed to put them in jail? who? I don't see anyone and thus the only solution for people who get stop and frisked illegally by law enforcement is to move to somewhere where they will not be OR stay in nyc and eat the crow. NYC from new amsterdam to anytime in the future was and never will…

TROY, I tried to post as you gave me permission to. But I'm still being harassed by the GOON-LOSERS here. XEON credits me for everyone's post--something I have no benefit or need for. Schakspir, Book Fan and a slew of other "Kola haters" consistently SMEAR my name and use every opportunity to peddle lies and exaggerations about my past. THE HATRED of me will never die. It just won't ever go away. So while I love so many people here who support me and appreciate your attempt to be civil and businesslike, I can't deal with the "Trolls" suddenly popping up & everyone blaming ME for it. I am NOT responsible for any posts here but tho…

I just recently completed Toni Morrison’s latest book “Home”, a novel I have been looking forward to reading because its advance notices promoted it as being set in the 1950s, an era I could relate to. Since many of Morrison’s novels take place way back in the day, I was glad she had chosen to write about what was, to me, a more recent period in history. I was curious about how Ms Morrison would portray the 1950s which have been referred to as not only a bland and innocent time populated by the “silent generation“, but also the decade that was ripe for the civil rights movement it spawned. I anticipated she would write about a passive race of people, done with being pat…

“Outsiders” have often dictated the trends of African American Culture, sometimes doing the job themselves, sometimes using what authors John A. Williams called “surrogates.” Both W.E.B. DuBois and Booker T. Washington accused each other of being manipulated by outsiders With the introduction of cyberspace, younger writers have the ability to reach audiences unheard of during the sixties when African American writers produced broadsides and saddle-stitched chapbook. As access to cyberspace becomes less expensive, more voices will be heard and this period, the most prolific in the history of African American Literature, will rise to worldwide prominence, no long…

This is a clip from a new movie called "Little" which I guess is supposed to be a modern version of "Big". I'm looking for a more detailed version in which the Issa is stuttering and stammering in the presence of this White man because she finds him so attractive. So it's not enough to have adult Black women salivating and panting over White men, but now they gotta train little Black girls to do the same thing??? Training our little sisters to be all up in movies making passes as White men and acting like they're in heat for them. What kind of message are scenes like this supposed to be sending, and for whom???

I recently was made aware of an interview of an up and coming rapper named Jidenna (half Caucasian and half African) and he was pretty well spoken on a number of subjects including religion, sexuality, and the state of African peoples world wide. During the first part of the interview he pretty much sums up my position on how vulgar a lot of females are portrayed in today's rap culture but his commentary on other subjects were equally as interesting. I didn't agree with them all, but I found it a bit refreshing to hear young rappers articulate their opinions about society with a degree of intelligence.

When you take a look at your personal history, the one thing you will be forced to contend with is the fact that what you are doing right now is establishing a reputation that is sure to outlive you. Be advised that right now, at this very moment, you are building your legacy. In essence, you are cementing the posterity you will leave behind to be viewed by your loved ones. Long after you are dead and gone, your deeds will continue to testify either for or against you. Oftentimes, the preacher will embellish his eulogy to make you seem more saintly than you actually were, but what will always remain is the ghosts of your actions and behavior. They cannot be su…

With NYC Central Park Condos going for nearly $10 million, imagine how much Seneca Village would be worth today? Descendants of the Lyons family may know the dollar amount but they probably will never see a penny. I shared this NYT article from my account it should be open to read. Their Land Became Part of Central Park. They’re Coming Back in a Monument. A new sculpture will honor the Lyons family, black activists and property owners who once lived in Seneca Village, a community destroyed by the creation of the park.

When I think of New York State I don't think of a Black< phenotypical race> place. Yes, Black people are human or can live anywhere they want to as humans. But New York State was and is not and I bet against will be a haven or positive place of growth for Black people beyond uncommon individual instances. But thinking on this moment, I wonder, is New York State better as a state in the union , its current form, or a federal district. NY State doesn't financially support its populace well enough<the number of incarcerated people is the proof>, across racial lines. NY State doesn't have an efficient elected official body nor a system that guides gove…

In all humanity , the last few centuries have been a time of male domination over women. The biggest legacy from that is the promoting in many homes, to male children, through amale figure or media completely designed by males promoting a male dominant agenda, the role of male + the role of female. The problem is when you have a man raised to think male , boy or man , is superior to female, girl or woman, in all ways then you get a problem when a female reaches any level of superiority over a male. Why? Cause the identity of male in said homes isn't from self alone, it is from relationship to female. For example, a male who is unemployed, living in a home tha…

Parable of the Black Bourgeoisie The economic and political dependence of this African neo-colonial bourgeoisie is reflected in its culture of apenmanship and parrotry enforced on a restive population through police boots, barbed wire, a gowned clergy and judiciary; their ideas are spread by a corpus of state intellectuals, the academic and journalistic laureates of the neo-colonial establishment. --Ngugi wa Thiong'o, Decolonizing the Mind The black bourgeoisie is a class of very sick people who go about their daily round pretending all is well. They have a gang of police who do not carry guns but are yet dangerous because they use masking tape to gag and sile…

The Help has enjoyed a three week run as the most popular movie in the country. After avoiding it I finally went to see it. It's what I called a "liberal conscience film" in my recent book Faces in the Mirror: Oscar Micheaux and Spike Lee. These films, The Defiant Ones, In the Heat of the Night, Odds Against Tomorrow, Edge of the City, and a dozen like them were popular in the 1950's and 60's. The Help is a well-meaning throw-back in that respect. As in the typical liberal conscience film, the main struggle occurs in the heart/soul/mind of the white protagonist as she tries to overcome racism, resist the blandishments of white skin priveledge, and realize the better angel…

https://socialjusticebooks.org/about/why-boycott-amazon/ A review of 190 articles from the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and the Bezos-owned Washington Post over the past year paints a picture of almost uniformly uncritical–ofttimes boosterish–coverage. None of the articles were investigative exposes, 6 percent leaned negative, 54 percent were straight reporting or neutral in tone, and 40 percent were positive, mostly with a fawning or even press release–like tone. The last major investigative piece we found in any of these three publications was a 4,500-word critique of Amazon’s labor practices in the New York Times (8/16/15) almost two yea…

Kareem, you mentioning your profession made me think about how vulnerable so many AfroAmericans are when it comes to legal protection in this system. Many of the Caucasians I know casually toss around the threat of suing people for this reason or that and often times they do. Sometimes they win, sometimes they lose, but most of the times it's settled out of court with atleast some benefit for them. But just that threat or ability to sue and having a lawyer (often times a family member or friend) argue for them was enough to get them SOMETHING. Meanwhile I know AfroAmericans who have had CRAZY shit happen to them on jobs, by the police, at the hospital....didn't hav…

When Andrew Gillum was arrested after losing the Florida Governor race, my first thought wasn’t “Oh no another Marion Berry”. My thoughts directly went to “Hmmm I wonder if he was swinging with Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo.” I remember when young black men started coming home with shoelaces untied and and pants sagging down. Are we witnessing the final stages of destruction of the traditional sexual roles as a new sexualization revolution is taking place before our eyes? What impact will it have on future generations?

After more than three weeks of challenging the 2020 election results, it appears that Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. and Kamala Devi Harris will ‘run the yard’ for the next four years. A few questions that we might ponder as a Cultural Ethnic Group are: First, will more of us become active warriors for a ‘Black First’ agenda when it comes to politics in America? Secondly, if so, are we willing to go hard in the paint to address issues that are necessary for our survival? And third, as a team member are we prepared to stay in fight for the long game? Since the Holiday seasons are approaching perhaps this would be a good time for us to critique what a Biden/Harris presiden…
