Sullivan died March 25 of heart failure at Kaiser Permanente West Los Angeles Medical Center. Throughout his career, Sullivan helped bring characters to life through his animation, storyboarding, directing and producing. His work spanned numerous television shows, including “Hey, Hey, Hey, It’s Fat Albert,” “The Incredible Hulk,” “My Little Pony” and “Flash Gordon,” along with companies like Hanna-Barbera, Warner Brothers and Spunbuggy Works. Sullivan contributed to the opening animation on “Soul Train” which premiered in 1971…

After listening to politicians talking so fondly about the Confederacy for a week I decided create a video to express how I felt about it. http://DTPollard.com

Implicit in almost every post on this site is the underlying message that It's hard being black; not only in America, but throughout the world. Just as white skin is an "entitlement", " it can be argued that "colored" skin is a burden. If I were a rapper I'd spit out some verses about this. Instead I'll just spill out some thoughts. As an African American, no matter what your circumstances are, your race is always a factor that puts you at a disadvantage even when the playing field is leveled to allow you to advance despite inadequate qualifications. I repeat: It's hard being black. Is this how it was meant to be? White people seem to be genetically equipped to…

D.

It is elders like him who provide the inspiration and support (including financial) which allows independent Black-owned business to grow. People like Paul are usually overlooked, by the press, who rather expend valuable resources on degenerates like Milo. The Atlantic Black Star website is an in…

Time for a respite from the heavy stuff - for an image that visually captivates - and for a meme that tickles our funny bones. Keep staring at the black hole and something will happen. .

White south africans making a public statement against immigration to the USA is interesting. In a humanity where most in south America/Africa/asia/western Europe/Caribbean are looking to travel to wealthier shores in USA or Western Europe, the white European minorities in lands with mostly non white European peoples want the opposite. To the white Europeans in South Africa, they are an ideal case of loving a convenient financial environment. While South Africa's growth is clearly to Black south africans, white south africans will rather the land or generational wealth their forebears took for them then to build up in even competition new lives in a usa absent first peopl…

The other night, while deciding who I was going to watch between Jimmy Kimmel, Dave Letterman or Jay Leno, upon seeing that Carol Burnett was Jay‘s guest, my decision was made. I’ve always been a fan of Carol because she was born the same year I was and we have grown old together as we look forward to our 80th birthdays, which for her, just happens to be today. She’s a comic genius and that was another reason I related to her because I was in sync with her tongue-in-cheek brand of humor; comedy skits that spoofed the entertainment industry, or just simply made fun of what others took seriously. Anyhow, there she was being interviewed by Jay, looking great for…

MY COMMENT but i ask you, what should the state of white priviledge be ? Why wouldn't a majority of whites in a state, not demand advantages in their favor when that was and is the status quo or what their forebears made the usa for? IN AMENDMENT One of the problems I have with so many in the USA is they don't seem to comprehend that many others in the USA don't share their view and no true majority exists. Yes, some try to talk about the legal code. But the legal code of the usa was created by people whose actions most cancellers in the USA today will consider worthy of being cancelled. In the black community in the USA the variance between blacks…

China plan to build the biggest solar array in space. why solar power in space? the light from the sun , or any star, is manipulated , usually lessened when a planet's atmosphere is involved. The earth's atmosphere is why light from the sun doesn't arrive as potently as it is outside the earth's atmosphere, but this blockage maintains life on earth. Water or air would get too hot , the temperature cycle of earth would die without that atmosphere. But in space, the unfiltered solar energy makes it the standard source for most or all human craft since the beginning of the human craft traveling outside earth with sputnik in the 1900s. the Japanese will do a test of…

I'm so sick of all the BS stinking up this world, that I'm ready to catch the next comet headed for another planet where the inhabitants are not in a contest to see who can be the most misguided. Hopefully, the supreme being, in whose image such aliens may have been created, will have done a better job than the supreme being who created Earthlings in his image. This would eliminate all the wasted time the faithful spend, vainly praying for terrible things to stop happening. America the beautiful? Not.

Comedian sez: Black folks, we have to examine this terrorism thing. See, there's some forms of terrorism we, as black folks, got to stay away from. For instance Time bombs. The first thing you gotta remember about time bombs is Ya gotta be on time. He got us good, didn't he. Almost as good as the Worstershire Sauce joke. They got us good with that one.

H. Holden Thorp, Editor-in-Chief, Science journals. wrote an editorial, "Persuasive words are not enough." Thorp concludes with the following: "The scientific community is losing the battle against this digital leviathan of misinformation. A well-reasoned and highly placed op-ed on this topic is not going to move the needle, no matter how well it is crafted to adhere to the best practices in science communication. Neither is a perfect trade book, television appearance, or speaking tour by a scientific leader. The only way to win this fight is to harness the same sophisticated tools in the name of science that are being used to tear science down. With social me…

Well, another show biz legend bites the dust. Robins Williams' death certainly warmed up the crowd for the Joan River's show. The attention given to their sudden deaths by the media has been relentless to a fault. But it's a sign of the times. Pop culture vultures have an avid appetite for circling the carcasses of famous creatures. Excuse me while I wipe the blood off my beak. Still, I mourn Joan's passing, myself. I have always felt a special kinship with her because we were the same age, 2 cynical ol broads, dismissive of superficiality and maudlin sentimentality. She ridiculed celebrities, bad mouthed their wardrobes and personal lives, shied awa…

And here we all are in the U.S. with some rather dense-minded black Americans still walking around in circles, while trying to figure out who's really kicking their a$$es.

Seems like every week Barry got something else new--a new crisis, a new meeting, a new announcement, a new summit I was wondering what he was up to--maybe he was panicking, running around like a chicken with his head cut off, that sort of thing. Then I got to thinking Maybe his idea is to keep the pressure up and by sheer force of constant hammering wear his foes down. All them lazy Congressmen by now got to be so tired of debating and voting they might start giving in-- I wonder though Can he physically keep this up?

It seems writing FCK is an acceptable why of writing the f-bomb. I see it plastered on shirts everywhere. Would writing F*CK, or just plain FUCK be any worse? (Technically, in my case, it is. By simply spelling out the word correctly I run the very serious risk of running afoul of the Google censors, who determine where their ads can be placed, but that is another story). At any rate, I thought this video was cute. But is is largely preaching to the choir and I seriously doubt an actually racist will change their thinking after viewing it. Indeed why would the view it? The Internet has become such a stratified bubble--I doubt anyone who could benefit from…

License plate readers: A useful tool for police comes with privacy concerns By Allison Klein and Josh White, Published: November 19, 2011 An armed robber burst into a Northeast Washington market, scuffled with the cashier, and then shot him and the clerk’s father, who also owned the store. The killer sped off in a silver Pontiac, but a witness was able to write down the license plate number. Police figured out the name of the suspect very quickly. But locating and arresting him took a little-known investigative tool: a vast system that tracks the comings and goings of anyone driving around the District. Scores of cameras across the city capture 1,800 images…

The circus that is currently passing itself off as the Republican presidential race is really making a mockery of American politics. SMH The front runner really needs to fold his tent and steal away into the night. All this egomanical mop head does is trump the truth, and he's not playing with full deck. Having said that, I find myself agreeing with The Donald's assessment of the only woman in this freak show. One look at the sour puss of Carly Fiorino and my immediate thought was that she'd be better qualified to audition for the role of the wicked witch of the north in a remake of the Wizard of Oz..

Runnin’ Wit’ The Devil 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. …

This is going to be more like an essay than post. So, it is going to be in two parts. I apologize for the length. Black people have spent most of their history in this country fighting racism and white supremacy. For over 200 years (1619-1863), we were slaves. If you were from the South, you experienced almost another 100 years of Jim Crow after The Civil War/Reconstruction, which consisted of segregation and sharecropping. It has just only been 60 years since blacks have not been considered second-class citizens. But, have…

Goodbye, White Friends!

I called him but he hasn’t called me back.” “Well, maybe,” I think out aloud, “He’s busy with his new movie and some other Black person, like Morgan Freeman.” My friend is undaunted. “It’s strange,” he goes on, “I called Francis too, and he hasn’…

I've never gotten into March Madness or college basketball at all for that matter. But. dating back to the early 90s during the Michael Jordan era and the dominance of the the Chicago Bulls team, I have been an NBA fan. The Chicago Bulls provided their city with so many thrills and so much excitement during those days, and the memories of the nail-biting playoff games and the subequent championships are really vivid. I still have T-shirts and other memorabilia from back then and every time I go to a Chicago Bulls game, it still sends chills up my spine to see the 6 Championship banners hanging from the rafters in the United Center. Now I'm in a state of amaze…

Pelosi and/or believing she needs a job to feed her family, keep in mind that she has a net worth of $120 million dollars. Nevermind that a public servant shouldn't be allowed to make that much on the job. Rep. Pelosi and her husband are very well off. Hopefully, Rep. Jim Clyburn, the sharecropper from South Carolina, will follow suit an…
