I went to my polling place at 7:30 a.m.; one would have thought it was a midterm election--there was barely a soul in sight. Even our convoluted process of; determining your district, getting the ballot, filling out the ballot, and finally scanning it went quickly, simply because no one else was ahead of me. Interestingly, I did not have to show any form of identification. Given the scrawl that I use as my signature, I'm confident virtually anyone could walked in and voted in my place. One has to show identification just to walk into a local bar, but not to vote. Bernice seemed to have had much more buzz on a grassroots level. But Hillary was backed by many …

@Cynique, since you were there, I'm not going to challenge your knowledge of the Panthers. Besides I don't think the Black Panthers represented the greatest movement led by Black folks in any event. I'd of course put this civil rights movement at the top of the list; there were clear goals out that were achieved, and which have had lasting impact. I'd also add Garvey's UNIA there are still active branches today. I'm seriously considering joining one. What was the greatest movement in your book?

Apparently most of you don't know what an ALLEGORY is. An ALLEGORY is basically a symbolic story. A story used to conceal certain historical events and facts that weren't meant for the public to know. It's not the same as a myth or a fable, it has a specific purpose and that's to conceal truths from the general public and put it in symbolism so that only those in certain societies with the proper "keys" of understanding can figure out the true meaning behind the message/story. The Bible is full of ALLEGORIES. The Bible is a book made up not only of many different books stitched together over thousands of years by different authors and authorities, but e…

The new administration clown car just pulled off 2 weeks ago. Already, one of the clowns is already in full performance mode. Secretary of Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem is doing ride-a-longs with ICE agents. Secretary Noem is a cabinet-level official dressing up like she's going to jump out and arrest folks. Nevermind that border czar Tom Homan is already stomping around in the same capacity. POTUS OJ is reopening Guantanamo Bay to hold up to 30K detainees prior to deportation. White folks are having a field day with rounding up immigrants they believe are a threat to America.😎

POTUS OJ signed what they are calling the Big Beautiful Bill (BBB) into law today. It was signed in front of a crowd of people gathered for the White House 4th of July picnic. As virtue signaling goes, POTUS OJ was surrounded only by white folks consisting of members of congress and his cabinet as he signed the BBB. Among a list of things, the BBB 1) leaves 11 million people uninsured in 2034 amd 2) adds $3 trillion dollars to the debt over the next 10 years. Americans will find out soon enough how helpful or harmful the BBB will be to their lives.😎

Fentanyl is a huge concern to white folks as it has been killing them. Unlike cocaine and methamphetamines, it doesn't take much fentanyl to kill the user. Some folks also believe the US …

Whew! Thank goodness Troy showed up and extracted some order from the chaos. The inmates were running the asylum. And I'm sure glad he finally activated the "delete" engine. I plead guilty to being one of the perpetrators but the outrageous machinations of Kola Boof just bring out the mischief in me. If she would just stop trying to hoodwink everybody I maybe would chill out. I never understood why Kola couldn't just post as Kola and let her assets speak for themselves. Why did she always had to have a roster of characters who routinely turned out to be fans of hers. Guess it was because she didn't get enough adulation from all the supporters she claims to have here…

Well, although I take my ginko biloba faithfully, and work crossword puzzles and read books and engage in other activites to stimulate my mind, some things just elude my comprehension. I have a memory like a elephant, with just an occasion senior moment when I can’t immediately call to mind somebody’s name, but when looking for coherence, there are just some things that I can’t wrap my mind around. I faithfully stuck with Ishmael Reed's marathon commentary posted by Chrishayden and just when I thought I was gleaning the point Reed was trying to make, he would do a flip-flop, contradicting himself before lapsing into irrelevant anecdotes and parenthetical asides giv…

http://blackagendareport.com/content/not-voting-obama-were-not-even-buying-voting-ticket-show Not voting for Obama: We’re not even buying a voting ticket to the show by Ezili Danto I speak my heart and mind on this. In 2008, Ezili’s HLLN supported a vote for Obama, not because we entirely believed the Obama fairytale (See, The America I Know, 2008.) We supported a vote for Obama in 2008 for both pragmatic and idealistic reasons. But more so because eight years of Bush and the application of the Wall Street deregulation excesses left over from Bill Clinton and others had reached a crescendo point that was shockingly, brutally horrible and demoralizing for t…

Stop chasing around these White men making up their own philosophies to FOOL you out of your money and further confuse your mind. Start studying THIS man: Mr Neely Fuller Jr. THIS is the man who mentored and inspired Dr Frances Cress Welsing! He's nearly 90 years old and STILL teaching hard on White Supremacy and how it dominates the world.

Well, the 90th annual Academy Awards ceremonies have come and gone. Hollywood's favorite night out was a glittering affair, bristling with glamorous and empowered females flexing their toned up muscles in a show of solidarity for the "Me, too" Movement, accompanied by male escorts keeping low profiles, and crossed fingers, hoping they wouldn't be the next lecher to be outed. Yawn. There weren't any surprise upsets when it came to the winners. Black folks were reasonably well-represented among the nominees which included Denzel Washington, Mary j.Bligh. Daniel Kaluuya, Octavia Spencer, Common the Rapper and, last but not least, Jordan Peele, who directed …

Troy and Chev (but obviously anyone can respond) You both say that 18 is too young for sexual activity but growing up many of the males and females I knew were having sex on a regular basis...some even produced children at 18 and 19, and many of them that I still know of today for the most part have turned out to be just as fine as those who were reportedly virgins and didn't engage in sexual activity. Outside of the troubles that came with actually having children they weren't ready to support, the sexual activity itself didn't seem to make much of a difference in their success or failures of life. Two questions I have is: 1. Is it that 18 and 19 are too youn…

Neely Fuller Jr. has taught that one of the main tools that White Supremacy has used to dominate much of the world is CONFUSION. Confusion in thought, leads to confusion in both speech and action. He's also advised us that in order to avoid confusion and deal with each other on a clear and consistent basis we should actually MAKE UP our own definition for the words we use and STAND BY that definition in order to be consistent. Making up your own definition for words you didn't invent in which definitions have already been established MAY seem ridiculous on it's surface; however experience and observation may teach us that as long as we are CONSISTENT wi…

I write this article for the multitude of wild-eyed idealists who joined political campaigns thinking they could be a part of movement to deliver change only for their aspirations to be aborted by the established order. I especially write this missive on behalf of the legions of Obama volunteers who had their hopes dashed by the harsh realities of who the first black president became once he entered the White House. This issue is very personal for me. In 2008, I put all my hopes in Barack Obama only to witness in depressing fashion as my faith was returned with faithless cynicism. However, I am not alone in this bitter taste that has yet to leave my mouth; an acerbit…

Re: https://www.theroot.com/our-kind-of-people-is-a-treasure-trove-of-good-writing-1847768924 IMO, regarding Lee Daniels' TV series on Fox called Our Kind of People, the series sucks. It's contrived erratic dialogue that drives the convoluted story line and disjointed interaction between skin color-sensitive upper-crusters and wannabees, appears to make them all come across as phony unrealistic achievers. Nearly the entire cast looks like it was assembled to mimic a geographically incorrect fake Redbone-fluid high society, burdened by the insecurity of their own existence and racial identity. Being or being perceived or classified as black, looks like it is …

Religious people don't seem to have a lot to say when it comes to protesting wars. Thousands of women and children are being murdered in these current conflicts. Yet, there's no huge outcry for a cease-fire from the holy folks. I doubt Russia and Israel are pouring that much money into the coffers.😎

He also acknowledged that as Black man he was lucky it didn't go in another direction. The sheriff's deputy has been placed on administrative leave. Semi-standard operating procedure nowadays.😎

Now joining her in the spotlight is 76-year-old Florence Henderson of Brady Bunch fame, appearing as a contestant on "Dancing With The Stars", flashing her bosom and shaking her booty like a 20-something hottie.

Presumably this came from Actor Bill Cosby. I got it in an email from a buddy. It sounds like something Bill would write, but it really does not matter too much in that I can relate to some of his sentiments. I'm not nearly as old as he is, and have not lost a child to murder or realized his financial sucess, but somethings are universal for men how have raised children in this society and have been around long enough to see how jacked up things ae becoming. What do y'all think? Bill Cosby: "I'm 76 and Tired" I'm 76. Except for brief period in the 50's when I was doing my National Service, I've worked hard since I was 17.

These kids, from Bed-Stuy and Brownsville, deliver a powerful protest about race relations in America. The children are introduced by Roxie Roker (Mrs. Willis from The Jefferson's. Lenny Kavitz's mom) On "Inside Bedford-Stuyvesant", Charles Hobson captured his neighborhood in black and white — local celebrities, activists, musicians, and regular residents all made appearances on the weekly show. The program ran for two years, and Hobson moved on to produce shows like "Black Journal" and "Like It Is". Described by Inside Bedford-Stuyvesant producer Charles Hobson as one of the program's "most-requested pieces", this video features the Leroi Jones Young Sp…

film / tv / politics / web / celeb Law Professor Absolutely Destroys Student Letter Protesting Her Wearing a 'Black Lives Matter' T-Shirt By Petr Knava | Miscellaneous | March 2, 2018 | A little while ago some first year law students saw fit to write a letter to their professor, protesting the professor’s wearing of a ‘Black Lives Matter’ t-shirt during lectures. The letter called the t-shirt ‘highly offensive’ and ‘inappropriate’. In and of itself, that is not a particularly remarkable story. It’s just some idiots painfully trying to conflate awareness campaigns with this nebulous concept of ‘divisiveness’—really stretching the English lan…
