OH WOW!--A 6000-plus Naked Eye Comet in the Sky This Month! I thought I saw something in the skies as I was gazing at the Lunar Eclipse and the Grand Conjunction in the wee hours of the morning this month on July 5, 2020! So, I just read in the news today that a third recent comet called THE NEOWISE COMET can be seen this month with the naked eye! The other two recent comets did not make it into our viewpoint and although the Neowise comet was slated to have the same fate, however, it has defied expectations! It was first seen on March 27, 2020 apparently, but not until observers spotted this comet did the news break! This Neowise comet has been reported to ha…

The Senecas, members of the Iroquois Confederacy, fought on the side of the British in the American Revolution. Red Jacket, also known as Sagoyewatha, was a chief and orator born in eastern New York; he derived his English name from his habit of wearing many red coats provided to him by his British allies. After the hostilities, as the British ceded their territories to the Americans, the Senecas and many other Indian peoples faced enormous pressure on their homelands. Red Jacket was a critical mediator in relations between the new U.S. government and the Senecas; he led a delegation that met with George Washington in 1792, when he received a peace medal that appeared in …

The Journal of Blacks in Technology (JOBIT) For the past 20 years there has been a growing digital divide that created a competitive disadvantage in the technology industry for blacks. We can no longer ignore the fact that black technology entrepreneurs have a mere 1% success rate for obtaining venture capital. It is time we take real action to increase the presence of black technology professionals who represent only 1% of the workforce at tech giants like Google, Yahoo and many others. It is our responsibility to address the issue of black technology service providers who are missing out on billions of dollars in government or corporate supplier contracts and strategic…

Oh WOW! A 6000-plus Year Naked Eye Comet in the Sky This Month of July The news has just reported that the comet NEOWISE has been seen in our skies tonight and can be viewed with the naked eye for a month! Apparently, scientist did not believe that this comet would be able to be viewed so nothing was reported until now due to certain observers who were able to capture it and report it. This comet was said to first be viewed on March 27, 2020 but because of the other two recent comets that did not make it into are viewpoint, nothing was reported until today.

Donald Trump was always a toady of Vladimir Putin. He agrees Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. But, how many of his supporters on here know this conflict could curtail African imports of food from both countries. Africa food supplies could be hurt by invasion

https://www.cnn.com/2026/01/15/business/qatar-venezuela-oil-sale-account To avoid western creditors putting liens on the proceeds from Venezuelan oil sales, $500 million dollars has been placed in a Qatari bank. It is anybody's guess how much of the billions of dollars that will be collected from the sale of their oil will end up in Venezuelan banks. Of course, in the same way that POTUS OJ's son-in-law ended up with a billion dollars after his 1st term, it would stand to reason that a whole lotta folks will become very rich before the 🤡 leaves office. Rest assured that Black folks will not become wealthy as a result of the …

I’ve always been fascinated with the dynamics of language. A tool that enables communication, language can frequently be inadequate. But it can also be powerful. As components of language, certain words can trigger rage and indignation at the mere sound of them. The most obvious example of this is the epithet “nigger“. A simple 2-syllable utterance that stands for so much. Just the enunciation of this one word is powerful enough to incite mayhem when it comes out of the mouth of a white person in the presence of black person. A black person can seethe with suspicions about racial prejudice but once the n-bomb is dropped, anger and the threat of violence immediately erupt…

The Only One Chapter 10 Troy Briggs looked down at his plate, at the juicy meat loaf, the buttered string beans, and the fluffy mashed potatoes puddled with a scoop of gravy. Then he glanced up at Carole Everly who sat across from him, trying to hold his gaze, wishing she stimulated his appetite as much as the food seemed to. “If you hadn’t gloated so much about the Knicks getting their butts kicked, I wouldn’t have held you to our bet,” he said, “A loyal Bull’s fan is allowed to gloat,” she smirked, “thanks to D. Rose.” “Yeah. And thanks to you for buying my lunch. That’s what I call taking a charge.” “Don’t mention it," she said. "Lucky Chicago didn’t…

Henry McNeal Turner, “I Claim the Rights of a Man” African Methodist Episcopal minister and later Bishop Henry McNeal Turner emerged immediately after the Civil War as one of the most ardent defenders of African Ameriacn rights. Turner was also among the first group of Reconstruction-era African American elected officials. In July 1868, Turner was among the two state senators and twenty-five black Republican state repre…

The New York Times WASHINGTON Defense Department officials said on Saturday that American-led strikes against Syria had taken out the “heart” of President Bashar al-Assad’s chemical weapons program, but acknowledged that the Syrian government most likely retained some ability to again attack its own people with chemical agents.

While I'm waiting for verifiable images from folks on the ground in Syria, thought I'd share what I've heard thus far. The building, so-called factories were empty, no human occ…

"The idea that prisons could reform or rehabilitate is only around 200 years old." During reconstruction and into the present day the use of inmates to do the work for businesses is the most blatant form of the exploitation of the prison system -- comparable to slavery. This video lends credence to the notion that jails are built to make money and Black people, due to a racist system, are disproportionately incarcerated. Today the prisons themselves are the profit centers. Hence the dramatic increase in the number of Americans incarcerated. The recidivism and collateral damage on Black families, communities, and Black people, in g…

(What a mouthfull...) Pity for Poor Africans (1788) William Cowper I own I am shock'd at the purchase of slaves, And fear those who buy them and sell them are knaves; What I hear of thcir hardships, their tortures, and groans Is almost enough to draw pity from stones. I pity them greatly, but I must be mum, For how could we do without sugar and rum? Especially sugar, so needful we see? What? give up our desserts, our coffee, and tea! Besides, if we do, the French, Dutch, and Danes, Will heartily thank us, no doubt, for our pains; If we do not buy the poor creatures, they will, And tortures and groans will be multiplied still…

BBC News London Stephen Lawrence: Murdered teen's father forgives killers The father of murdered teenager Stephen Lawrence says he has forgiven his son's killers, nearly 25 years after the attack. Dr Neville Lawrence the decision had been "one of the hardest things", but he still wanted justice. The murder "opened the country's eyes" to racism, he added. Stephen, 18, was stabbed in an attack by five white youths on 22 April 1993, at a bus stop in south-east London. Two White men were jailed [20 years later]. Not just in America, Blacks are being targeted everywhere.

How could anyone leave a baby in a hot car and go about their business?They either got something wrong with their mind or just plain "sorry". In this state where I live,I've counted approximately 5 incidences where the policeman sometimes a person passing by had to break in the car and rescue the child.Now you know that parent is just wrong. If you can punish someone for leaving a dog in a hot car, how come you can't punish someone for leaving a baby in a hot car? And how come they wait until it's hot to start this dumbass s__t? You don't hear of children freezing to death when it's cold. When someone has to break in a car to …

The reality is natural resources has always been key to who has and who doesn't have. With the earth having limited resources and the universe having no limit, sooner or later, the technology will allow for battles over resources. Which resource do you think will be more valuable in the future? If you had to invest in the oil/oxygen/sand/carbon outside the earth, which would you choose? https://aalbc.com/tc/events/event/206-economic-corner-20-02262025/

"The Fallacy of the Fourth" by Paul Scott On July 5th 1852, the great orator and abolitionist, Frederick Douglas delivered an electrifying speech where he posed what was possibly the most significant question of his time; "What to the slave is the Fourth of July?" He received a thunderous round of applause. A hundred and twenty some odd years later, July 4th 1976, as a nine year old junior militant, I stood defiantly on a picnic table, raised my sand shovel and posed a similar question. Why do black people celebrate Independence Day,anyway?" The response I received? "Shut up and eat your hot dog!" The issue of whether African Americans should cel…
