I'm curious as to what most people think of the last 15 minutes or so of Dr. Johnson's interview on The Breakfast Club last week and how him and Charlemagne were going at it hard with their different opinions on various topics. Take a look: I personally enjoyed the VERY spirited debate, however I can see how many would take exception to Charlemagne's constant passive-aggressive poking and prodding the doctor over issues they clearly disagreed on and I can definitely see how some could take exception to Dr. Umar raising his voice for an extended period of time, pointing his finger aggressively, and getting so emotionally stirred up. Do yo…

Does anyone remember this commercial from back in the 80s............ I do. Hadn't even seen it since the 80s until came across it a few weeks ago. Somebody reminded me of it and I went-a-huntin'.....and finally found it. Although I have to admit...... I don't remember seeing so many White folks dancing around in it as I see, lol.

@umbrarchist I promised that when I had more time I would go into a brief explanation of the Yakub theory as taught by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Although I don't KNOW if it's true or not since I wasn't around to witness it...I believe it because it makes more sense than some "evolution" garbage that White folks and ONLY White folks came up with...and people of color later on began to just "accept" like most things White folks present to them....to explain their origins. Forget the bullshit you've seen and heard on the internet CLAIMING to explain Yakub, who he was, and what he did or what Elijah Muhammad said about the making of White people. Forget …

Lol...talk about "getting down and dirty".

Happen to catch these very clear videos of an interview allegedly done by NWA in London England, back in the day. (1990) I say "allegedly" because the videos are so remarkably clear that they look recent, as if it could be AI. Despite the callousness and often vulgar language, their responses are pretty quick and often witty. They show a level of maturity and none of them are fighting with eachother over who speaks or who gets to answer which question. There seems to be a "vibe" among them.

Economic Corner 15 - Executives orders and government dysfunction in the past led to today inevitably in the U.S.A.to an executive order presidency. PEople complain about the use of executive power but it was constantly being used more and more by each successive president since Lincoln? Few presidents ever made fewer executive orders or made executive actions than their predecessor. So why the shock to this situation now?

Chapter 5 Although she had been deluding herself into believing that she was leading a full satisfying life, it was gradually occurring to Carole Everly that the source of this fullness lie mostly between the covers of her books, and on the channels of her TV, and the internet of her computer, and the electronic devices which included a cell phone that was her main connection to other living creatures. In reality, the cafeteria at her place of employment was shaping up to be the stage for most of the live action in her life, and the only thing it was full of was a crowd of hungry people. How pathetic was this? Sad but true she told herself. But also funny,…

My White Jewish Girlfriend & the Supernatural In response to a statement a few weeks ago, I shared a past and personal experience that happened to me back in April of 1994. I explained that a week prior to this event, I told my husband that I was suddenly warned about a job termination and other detailed facts that did completely come to light. At that time, initially, my husband did not believe me but afterwards, he now describes my experience as supernatural. Now, because I want to clarify another point about the voice and message that I had heard on that day in that it was definitely not a what was described as a WATCHER, therefore I will share s…

Ancient Africa or Afruika holds the greatest secrets of our past. Afruika was the cradle of civilisation and the greatest empire ever established on earth was in Kemet, established by Africans, the Kemet people. To put the case on point, the greatest evidence to show Africans were once a kingdom is infused in our culture. The ancient Greeks acquired their education from centuries of established Kemet educational systems. The biblical empires of Mesopotamia and Palestine were offshoots of the Kemet civilisations too, just as the United States of America is an offshoot of the European/British civilisations. Read the beginning of an empire of Kemet and g…

The Bible is the book written by our black ancestors, became lost, found by Europeans, and who returned it to us. Read more at the Black History Knowledge site Many sub-Sahara Africans, are the twelve tribes of Israel in exile. The Hebrews are not lost. The Bible makes it abundantly clear they are in sub-Sahara Africa. Consider the following verse. "From beyond the rivers of Cush My worshipers, My scattered people will bring Me an offering." Zephaniah 3:10 So there you have it. The Israelites are in the Land of Cush, which is sub-Sahara Africa. They fled there when Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonians destroyed ancient Israel 3000 years ago. This mean…

Written more than 15 years ago, “Can Black People Go 5 Minutes Without Music?” remains one of my most popular Blog posts.

Why is black America always complaining about how it feels it’s being treated by other groups, when what it really needs to do first, is get its own house in order? Let’s take a step back and a brief look at black America’s self-inflicted damage. From the top, black Americans: -- Chronically blame their problems on others. -- Don’t practice good study habits, score low on basics tests, and discount the value of getting a good education. -- Are physically unfit, eat poorly, and smoke and consume alcohol heavily, which contributes to a disproportionate suffering from obesity, high blood pressure, emphysema, and kidney, heart and liver disea…

I was waiting for this. While watching the Super Bowl halftime show last night, I mused about how many White Conservatives would immediately become enraged over all the fun everyone in the stands was having. And boy, I was not wrong! White people who fear us and envy us will never get over our staying power, our talent and our intelligence. They could not wait to criticize the halftime show. Bengals rookie kicker Evan McPherson actually stayed on the field to watch the entire show. Don’t worry, White racists. What you witnessed is just another display of Black Excellence. You should have drank it all in. This way, you might have been able t…

Why Insult the GWOAT!? This is another way this acronym has been portrayed and I like it much better than GOAT. Anyway recently, there has been much rhetoric about the track star Sha’carri Richardson both negative and positive because she was recently cut from being able to compete in major track events across the world but more so because she has been very vocal too, in speaking out against certain athletes one of which was Allyson Felix. But why? Like many other athletes, Allyson was asked to make a comment about Sha’carri and imo, she responded very favorably, however, Sha’carri went after Allyson which much indignation. Not only did Sha’carri insult Allyso…

“Black films which make an impact on our minds and hearts are also making a sizable impact at the box office. Our top film, The Woman King, bridges the gap between telling important, heartfelt stories, and providing an entertaining experience for movie-going audiences.” —AAFCA president and co-founder Gil Robertson As previously expressed on these forums I would agree with the African American Film Critics Association's (AAFCA) assessment of The Woman King. Now I have only seen three of the films on the list, but The Woman King was one of the best films I've seen in a long time. If Davis does not earn an Academy Award nomination it will be a travesty. …

Langston Hughes, appearing before the committee, had to renounce his left leaning pro-Soviet poetry.

The pineal gland has the shape of a pine cone, where his name that comes from the Latin "pinea "Who wants to say "pin". Technically, the pineal gland is not part of the brain. It is not protected by the blood-brain barrier, in fact, it receives more blood than all the other bodies with the exception of the kidneys. As it is not protected from the blood stream, it accumulates mineral deposits, also called "cerebral sand". With time, this sand accumulation and produces the calcification of the gland, making opaque viscous and the fluid in the interior of the gland.

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.

LOL. If you think the arguing and debunking that has been going on here from day one will suddenly reverse itself, Antonio, and everybody is going be of one mind, you're in for a rude awakening. Like Troy suggests, this is an open forum where a lively exchange of ideas prevails, and nobody is encouraged to defer to another person just for the sake of harmony. Different opinions are the name of the game here, because this broadens the perspective and keeps things interesting. The regulars here routinely argue and feud with each other and then move on. We don't really take each other that seriously and "insults" roll off our backs. There does, however, seem to be a consen…

A Very Supernatural Weekend ~ It’s Raining Men Halleluiah This one short story of my personal experience one weekend back in late October of 1988 that I want to share became life changing. Actually, I am really embarrassed by my actions years ago and although I shared this story with my close friends and others at the time, I am ashamed and hope that my sons never read this account even as I also hope to publish it in a book one day. One evening back in October of 1988, I decided to glance at the horoscope in the newspaper and became so excited by what I had read that I ran out of my room and downstairs to share it with my girlfriend, Bette, a White Jewish g…

HAPPY THANKSGIVING Holiday! -- Revisiting Native American History—The Yamasee Chief Se’khu Hadjo This video is amazing! Instead of a focus on the American aspect of the Thanksgiving holiday, however, this video shares some fascinating history about the American Indians. Furthermore, it addresses my passion in research in that thousands of years ago, the Ancient Americas was inhabited by a dominant presence of many ancient people of African descent. Even though the modern term ‘African’ and other terms have been misused to erase true history, nevertheless, these descriptions should not be a problem if us…

Prince was in Chi-Town for a 3-day engagement. The ol boy can still generate interest and excitement. Tickets to his concert were a hot item. All of his middle-aged fans who grew up with him were hustling up the money for tickets, none of which were under $125.00; this in addition to the exorbitant parking costs attendng this event would include.
