I suspect the British actors Idris Elba, as Nelson Mandela and Naomie Harris as Winnie Mandela will submit better performances than the Americans Terrance Howard and Jennifer Hudson did in the same roles in the film Winnie Mandela, which came out in September.

Ann Coulter is a trip. Her interview with our Kam Williams had me laughing out loud. She is irreverent and quick witted for sure. Over the years I've published hundreds of interviews Kam has performed. Kam usually asks a series of canned questions like: "If you only had 24 hours to live, how would you spend the time?" Most people say something like, "spend the time with loved ones and family". Ann's response, "Waiting in line for my Obamacare doctor." Of this question, If you could have a superpower, which one would you choose? Most people say, The ability to "fly" or "invisibility". Ann's response, "The USA." I hadn't really realized the canned ques…

The question that resonated throughout the country on this day is what were you doing on November 22, l963, when you got the news that President John F Kennedy was assassinated? I was 30 years old at the time, married with 3 kids, ages 5, 3, and 8 months and around noon of that day I was just kinda rambling around the house. My two oldest children were seated on the floor in front of our 24 inch black and white TV, eating peanut butter and jelly sandwichs while watching Bozo's Circus, a local kitty show. Still stewing over what I considered a case of racial bias after I was rejected for a part time job in the office of an envelope factory located in the …

I have to wonder when he set his sites on the presidency, if Barack Hussein Obama ever envisioned what lie ahead for him. Did he have any idea how, once elected, his "audacity of hope" would eventully descend into an "abyss of hell"? Certainly he knew that a victory would mean inheriting the dregs of his do-nothing predecessor, and it’s a given that there’s no way to prepare for the job of being the most powerful man on earth. But you’d think that realizing this, Obama would’ve kept in mind the importance of designating authority to people he could depend on. One year into his second term, the survivor of a lackluster first term, Obama is presently mired in the dee…

We propose further that what is left behind is more the result of subjective choice than reasoned analysis. Science does not systematically disprove occult theses; as a general rule, it freely elects not to consider them.

All those apoplectic ministers and their flocks who give so much weight to bible verses that support their opposition to things like the legalization of same-sex marriage are nothing more than "Cafeteria Christians". They pick and choose from a menu of caveats, ignoring anything that doesn't support their self-righteous beliefs.

I was doing some research for a page for Rebecca Walker. Of course, given the was Google search works today Wikipedia comes up on the 1st page of results. Of course I look at the page. The Huria Search Results for Rebecca Walker, are worth looking at, in comparison to a regular search. For example, I found an article in Ebony Magazine that would have been undiscoverable in a regular search. At any rate, I read the Wikipedia citations and learned the following about Rebecca Walker under the category of "Personal Life": Walker is bisexual and previously had a relationship with neo-soul musician Meshell Ndegeocello, whose son she helped raise.

I generally try to stay in shape, and go to health clubs like Ballys or LA Fitness as the weather turns cold, and outdoor activity is less appealing. All of these clubs have large rooms where group classes are given, usually some newfangled version of aerobics requiring multicolored weights, rubber bands, giants balls, adjustable platforms, hula-hoops and what have you. I never take these classes but I'm usually start my workout by stretching out nearby. I actually used to teach aerobics, almost 30 years ago, and the only thing that is the same is the use of music. Music sets the tone; it can get you fired up or it can calm you down. It also helps keep rhythm and helpe…

Definitions of Miss Anne: A coded term for any white woman. A derisive name for a white woman. An emancipated blue blood. “Miss Anne in Harlem”, by Carla Kaplan is a 503-page book about the noteworthy role played by a certain group of white women during the era referred to as the “Harlem Renaissance”. This historical period, a subdivision of the "jazz age", spanned the decade between the late 1920s and middle 1930s. It was so named because it called attention to a black colony of writers, poets, artists, journalists, academics, and political activists all ensconced in Harlem, the quintessential mecca of black life located in the upper section of Manhattan. Upo…

This is the continuation of a that got a little muddled by a couple of guys going back and forth without making much progress :-) Does anyone thing there are ideas or beliefs rather that are believed, or at least adhered to by so many people that those ideas are considered "universal"? Now "universal" is an absolute term and nothing I can think of is absolute. This is one of the reasons I'm careful about using the word never or always. If I use the word "never," I'm exaggerating. Otherwise I'll say something like, "exceedingly rare" or highly unlikely. Sometimes things that may have been "universal" in western culture in the past can, over time chang…

You know I started watching a screener of Skip Gates new series The African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross which will broadcast on PBS starting on the 22. It is interesting enough and I'd recommend it. After watched the 1st two parts of a six part series we decided to take a break and watch Booker's Place: A Mississippi Story this was a really fascinating movie! Booker's place made Gates program seem sanitized, almost boring, by comparison There are a few segments of the film which are just priceless. (1) was Booker describing how her felt about being a waiter (the version is the actual film is better than what is shown in the trailer), and (2), perhaps ev…

The socalled government shut down is a joke, lol. First of all the government is not "shut down". Only SOME things managed by the federal government are shut down, the government itself is still up and running. Congress is still working. The President is still working. And the Supreme Court is still doing whatever the hell it was doing a couple months ago. The military is still operating. And with the promise of getting all the money they lost while on furlough reimbursed back to them....this is nothing but a vacation for most government workers. In other words, they're still collecting taxes and making laws but just aren't doing anything for the people…

I've been watching the media coverage of the SUV driver vs Bikers incident and it seems that the media is going out of their way to make sure the public knows that the bikers were Black and Afro-Latino. First of all, I don't understand why in a society where people are PRESUMED innocent before being proven guilty in a court of law....why the media is allowed to post people's faces and names on television, in news papers, and on the computer even before they've offcially been charged and tried. It certainly is unethical but it should be illegal. But there have been hundreds of instances of road-rage in America and I'm sure dozens have happened since this one..... …

I have always enjoyed talking about ideas. Although recently I have realized that I want to convince my opponent that my position is correct. I am surprisingly, at least to me, not trying to convince them they are wrong . I don't think it is possible for any opinions to be wrong. The real issues is understanding the assumptions or beliefs. Since the opinion is based on beliefs and assumptions. I would say this is true of any belief. So for me there isn't any knowledge or truths. Science to me is a belief system. And while it is rigorous and does have checks and balances it has flaws. It's major stumbling block is its arrogance and close mindedness. Granted this m…

On a daily basis I'm being hit up by someone or some organization for money. I'm not talking about a sales pitch where you are get something tangible like a product or service. I'm not even talking about a charitable organization seeking a tax deductible contribution for a worthy cause. I'm talking about the solicitations for money where there is no direct benefit to you. The only benefit goes just to the recipient. These are not requests for a loan where you may get a little interest, or at least see your money again, but an outright request for money. These requests are indistinguishable from the "homeless" person asking for money from strangers on the street…

I don't often talk about my kids on these forums but I have to admit my baby girl is developing into a very good writer. She writes a regular column for her school newspaper. Her latest column is on Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith's kid Jaden Smith's recent declaration that “School Is The Tool Used To Brainwash The Youth.” http://flathatnews.com/2013/09/30/if-newborn-babies-could-speak-twitters-philosopher-king/ I always that that was what mainstream media was for.

With their 3rd straight win of the new NFL season, the Chicago Bears are doing their part to deflect the negative vibrations emanating from Chicago. With its high homicide rate, "Chi-town", also known as "Chiraq", has had its image bemirched by being named the most dangerous city in America. A recent drive-by shooting that sprayed a crowded gathering of players and spectators at an outdoor basketball game, injuring 13 people including a 3 -year old toddler, did nothing to dispel this misleading designation - which is based on questionable statistics. Anyway, the aftermath of the shooting was a familiar one, complete with the obligatory interviews with bystanders an…

The nature of reality is an ongoing enigma, a subject that is frequently explored on this board. It's a concept that I never tire of contemplating. Is reality an illusion? Is illusion a reality because it can be mentally perceived? When it comes to reality, does it matter whether something is tangible or intangible? Is deception the same as an illusion, and is one person's reality another one's lie? The 2 pictures below were taken a couple of days ago. The first picture was taken about 20 minutes before the second one, proving how external factors can embellish and disguise. Nobody embodies the mystique of reality any more than humans who create the paradox of faca…

I am fascinated that beliefs override knowledge. Perhaps it is not possible to be truly objective. There are no external objects and and the world exists in the minds. Which is way something is painfully obvious to you, but I can't grasp the concept.
