India and a glimpse into humanity after the white european imperial era ends https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2203&type=status

Well, this is the year that all the ancient prognosticators have calculated to culminate in Doomsday, - come December 21st. If the Republicans win the election, I'd say this prediction sounds pretty accurate. The age of America being a nation of citizens who look out for each other will be over. The false prophets wrapping themselves in religion, waving the American flag, disguising their greed as fiscal responsibility, couching their bigotry in a cry for a return to the "good ol days" while turning the struggle to survive into a class war, will be who represent the Apocalypse. Or - will the Age of Aquarius prevail as the stars prove the dire interpretations …

I described some of the benefits working in a coworking space in an earlier conversation, so I figured I'd share this video. The Brother in the video runs a venture capital firm which operates out of the office I'm in. This has inspired me to think about AALBC in new ways. In 60 seconds, Lightship Capital’s General Partner, Brian Brackeen, describes three of their programs to support Entrepreneurs:

The New York Times selected 100 books as the “Best Books of the 21st Century.” I pulled out the books (22) written by Black people. Years ago, I created a list of the top 100 Black books of the 20th Century. It was a list voted on by almost 4,000 people.

NFL Hall of Famer, Jim Brown , gives the best definition of racism I've heard. I completely agree with this definition—particularly from the perspective of a bookseller and someone who celebrates Black culture. You see, we typically do not value anything that we create unless it has the white cosign (validation). We don't value our writers unless they write for a white publication, we don't value our books unless that have been published by a white-owned publisher and have been acclaimed by the white media or some white-owned institution. Of course, in today's economy, there are those who seek white validation because that is where the money is, But t…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM2alg1Z2ak Man I was smiling as I watched the trailer for this DVD. I LOVED seeing some of my favorite performers in their prime. More information about this DVD, which will be released on Tuesday, may be found here: http://runt.it/soultraindvd

Though the opening credits have nothing to do (that is apparent) to the film, it is pretty cool to watch: Kam completely trashed the film, in an uncharacteristic fashion, in his review: …a boring vampire adventure that’s severely lacking in terms of tension, thrills, premise, storyline, special f/x, plausibility, production value, editing and character development… I had a renewed distain, after learning about the final product, for Spike use of the Kickstarter platform. It seems like the public was taken advantage of, or rather simply taken by this campaign. I blogged about it.

This book is right up biotumelo's alley. The Black Church: Where Women Pray and Men Prey by Deborrah Cooper - Book Review

I repeat The Black community in the USA need an alternative to Black officials from the Party of Andrew Jackson or Abraham Lincoln Brian Benjamin + Clarence Thomas have one thing in common. They represent the one thing that unifies Black government officials,elected or not, they are just poor.

The Black Egyptians--Original Settlers of Kemet The Black Egyptians are the original settlers of KMT. "The native Sudanese are one of the original pigmented Arabs in that region. They are members of the same ethnic family with the ancient Egyptians, the Ethiopians, the Southern Arabians, and the primitive inhabitants of Babylon. All founders and sustainers of the mighty Nilotic civilization we still admire today. They are very great nation of Blacks, who did rule almost over all Africa and Asia in a very remote era, in fact beyond the reach of history of any of our records The following is evidence from The African Origin of Civilization: by Cheikh Anta Diop …

Read the article "THE BLACK FAMILY IN THE AGE OF MASS INCARCERATION" by Ta-Nehisi Coates published in The Atlantic

Can people recommend other books like The Black Hand of God, which show historical African kingdoms as sophisticated and powerful? I want my kids to have multiple data points where they see that Africa was full of great civilizations and that Africans actually gave up more than simply primitive life when they were brought to the New World.

I saw this a couple of days ago. Came out in 1966--had Max Julien, Whitman Mayo and James McEachin--wow! This was Pre-Blaxploitation--but was Blaxploitation all the way The Black Klansman http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPcSGMDqKHo&feature=related

As a black man I've got way too many questions with too few answers. I got tired of waiting for someone else to create the site that tries to answer these questions so we decided to create it. The Black Man's Survival Guide is located at www.afrodaddy.com and it contains articles about basic survival skills for black men as well as information on how to save money and be more efficient. We hope the site provides black men information about things that they don't know but need to know to help themselves and their families. This is a community project and we need the ideas and content of all the positive, literate and intelligent brothers and sisters in this forum. Fir…

Dr. Huey P. Newton Foundation 1015 Amador Street, P.O. Box 4423 Vallejo, CA 94590 September 4, 2015 I am David Hilliard the executive director of The Dr. Huey P. Newton Foundation. I’m compelled to inform the public of the Foundation’s perspective on the PBS documentary film, The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution. The filmmaker, Stanley Nelson identifies the film as the rise and fall of the Black Panther Party (BPP). Huey P. Newton was the leader and standard-bearer of the BPP. The film was made without input or consultations with The Dr. Huey P. Newton Foundation. I was a founding member of the BPP, chief of staff and leader of the Party during the time H…

I want to help more Black People prepare themselves for the Metaverse. No the MetaVerse isn’t Meta ( Facebook). There are actually different Metaverse. But one characteristic that most them share is that use crypto currency. Crytocurrencies are things like Bitcoin, Apecoin and Sand. New ones are popping up daily. For this post I want to introduce three ways to acquire, store and send crypto. CashApp Cash App (formerly Square Cash) is a mobile payment service developed by Block, Inc., that allows users to transfer money to one another (for a 1.5% fee for immediate transfer) using a mobile-phone app. The service is available only in Un…

A study recently said that 40% of people who live in nyc were born outside of nyc, that explains the problem, half of the people living in nyc don't know anything about new york city. And this connects to a larger problem, cause that percentage doesn't include people who immigrated from within the usa. To be blunt, my bloodline has lived in nyc for a long time and to those that like NYC in a general sense, this explains the problem with nyc of the past in parallel to nyc of today. People who live outside of NYC come from towns or smaller cities, in the usa or outside of it, or come from big cities that are culturally very different from nyc outside of it, and don't have …

I’m sure I’m in the minority when I heave a sigh and roll my eyes and gripe at the way the upcoming anniversary of the 911 episode is being hyped. But then I don’t care about being a lone voice in a chorus of blubbering babble. That’s how I roll. OK, 10 years ago, a handful of Arabs with a minimal amount of effort and weaponry neutralized America’s state-of-the-art defense technology when a few hi-jacked airplanes flew into buildings, killing over 2,000 souls in NY and DC and PA. Tragic. Shocking. Yet, Death has a way of being random, casting its pall on anyone at any time. And it never takes a holiday. Thousands of people, young, old, Black, White, Asian, Christia…

The BOOK of GENES--GENESis, The First Book in the Bible There is a reason why the name of the First Book of the Pentateuch, GENESIS, and its very meaning in relation to the GENETIC origins of God's Creation of the first modern malefactor has been completely overlooked by the Black Church. There is a reason why most educated African Americans believe that the Bible is not a book of science and truth but just made up stories. One of several reasons would be because the Creator is being intensely OPPOSED and as a result, a great movement has been launched against him to deceive. Another reason that the Genetic factors of modern human beings ha…

Have you seen this "documentary"? I am curious as to whether I am the only one in this world, besides Kam Williams, who questions the authenticity of this highly exploitative "documentary".

Compare how articulately Ice Cube handles this interview back in 1991 with how most rappers of that age and older conduct themselves today! You can't TELL me a DE-volution isn't going on where the intelligence and articulation of so many of these young men have declined so much over the past 30 years. The stark contrasts are obvious.

Finally, some good news about a notorious massacre of Black blameless that People of Color can rightfully feel positive about. I would certainly be overjoyed if the full amount for the massacre memorial was guaranteed. However, we know there are millions who despise Black people and they would care a whit if one us were to lose our life unjustly. May 13, 2024, 7:05 PM EDT / Source: The Associated Press By The Associated Press BUFFALO, N.Y. — A permanent memorial honoring the 10 Black victims of a racist mass shooting at a Buffalo supermarket will feature interconnected stone pillars and arches, and a windowed building where exhibitions and events…

I went to see "Lee Daniels' The Butler" over the week-end with my granddaughter. She loved it, declaring it to be a great history lesson. I liked it OK. I think my luke warm endorsement has to do with me finding out that a white person wrote the screen play. When asked about his credentials to undertake this, his answer was predictable. He said he did research and interviews and then put his empathy and writing skills to work. The result was a fictionalized episodic journey, plodding through the 1930s Jim Crow South up until the Ronald Reagan presidency in the 1980s. Although I could not relate to everything in the movie, all the events were familiar …

I post links to AALBC on Twitter several times a week. During that time I will acknowledge to reply to people to who engage with my posts. I make a point of never scrolling down my newsfeed. This is how social media platforms rope you in and the whole process becomes a useless waste of my time. Since Twitter presents you with your feed when you first log into the platform, I do see some posts each time I login. Today I saw the following post from the venerable New York Times (image below). The New York Times gave Twitter money -- perhaps a great deal of money -- to post "The 50 Best Movies on Netflix Right Now." I find this shocking. Has th…

I'm sure by now many of you have heard the story of our sister Carlee Russell, the Alabama woman who allegedly went missing but was later seen walking back home and is accused of making the entire story up just to get back at her boyfriend. I don't know the full details of the story as much of it is still coming out as to how much of it is fact, how much is fiction, and what was her motivations. However what I DID notice about this story and others similar to it is how the main stream media seemed to know that there was something bogus and didn't add up about this story from day one....but continued to promote it and talk about it. I would read stories where t…

Hey @Delano are you familiar with this book? I only learned about West this week while reading more about Ancient Eygpt.

The World Wide Web (WWW) has been in a constant state of change since it became available to the general public in the early 1990's. I've had a web presence since 1995. I really can't imagine how the typical 20 year old can possibility understand a pre-WWW world. Things have improved so remarkably and quickly it is almost incomprehensible. There are two trends that I have noticed lately that are adversely effecting the nature of the WWW Large multinational corporate websites are beginning to dominate over independent websites. This is not a bad thing in and of itself. The alarming thing is that the big sites are able to accomplish this with bullshit content and a…

This is actually old news, as the Defender killed its printed newspaper in July of 2019. I just learned about it last week. I try to maintain a list of Black owned newspapers. The Chicago Defender, founded in 1905, was perhaps the most prominent Black newspaper in the country (to bad The Defender, was not a beneficiary of Google's largess)

THE ARCHEOLOGY OF NOAH: The Chinese NAMI Team Part one It was only a few years ago that the movie theaters featured another film about Noah, the ark and the Great World Flood to draw in the big bucks and for other profitable reasons. Not only that but in Kentucky, a major theme park has just opened recently on July 7, 2016 called Ark Encounter, a massive financial project whereby, a giant vessel was constructed on the same scale detailed in the Holy Bible and, it has become a major tourist attraction. What better way to cover up the truth and to continue to draw the attention away from the real historical facts that surrounds the Biblical account in respe…

Greetings! I would like to introduce my book, The Church of the Cosmic Mother: Metaphysics For the African American Seeker, to be considered for a book review. ISBN13: 978-1980973461, originally published March 9, 2015. The Church of the Cosmic Mother is a guide to African American spirituality for the 21st century. Combining metaphysics, science, philosophy and a strong dose of Black Nationalism, it is an antidote to the dogma implied in monotheistic traditions that black is evil. Rather, it introduces the concept of the Divine Feminine as the lost connection between our blackness and our holiness.As a metaphysics book, it is primarily conce…

Republicans are holding the Debt Limit increase hostage. It has never been held up before, even under Trump. And according to several pundits, a financial default will devastate Black communities. https://news.yahoo.com/debt-ceiling-battle-could-affect-155223598.htmln https://newsone.com/4590811/debt-ceiling-crisis-black-america/ It's been warned repeatedly that a default could also destabilize world markets and lead to widespread recessions. https://www.npr.org/2023/05/24/1177668000/default-debt-ceiling-limit-negotiations-recession-global-financial-crisis But I am concerned only with the aftermath a Default would have on Blacks.

I want you all to take a look at the BODY LANGUAGE of these young men for the first couple minutes of this interview and then tell me what they remind you of or how it makes you feel.......

Most of you may or may not believe this but the VAST MAJORITY of the laws that have been made in this nation AFTER the Constitution was established were made specifically to RESTRICT AfroAmericans! That's right! Those who helped to establish the United States wanted to make a NEW nation separate from the old nations of Europe dominated by centuries of laws, rules, and customs along with Kings and Queens who had the right to just make up any old rule they felt like. They intended to set up a nation with FEW restrictions and only one solid Constitution that was supposed to prevent tyranny and limit excessive authority and rule-making. If you study U.S. history, yo…

Next Suday, August 18th will be my 80th birthday. I began my week-long countdown yesterday. Can I make it? I seriously wonder. I feel OK but - who knows? Anything can happen. Life is fickle. Because I want to do it my way, I have planned a family dinner to be held in a private banquet room, where my 5 kids, 8 grandchildren and 3 great grands will gather to help me celebrate. My niece and grand nephew live out of state and won't be able to make it. Except for 3 distant cousins, these are all the blood relatives I have left in the world. Most of my close friends are dead and the 4 surviving female ones don't live close. Only casual acquaintances survive. I…

What the general public is unaware of and needs to come to terms with is that there is no room for information which cannot be proven in the world of historical research. History is a science. And for those who conduct historical research seriously and treat it as a science, gather historical documents, news articles, journals, court cases, diaries, letters, and reference sources all of which their conclusions are based. It is this method which I used for determining the character of Christopher Columbus and charging him with crimes against the Indian people of the West Indies. This article is the product of records which will clearly point out, that from the very beginni…

For several months now the internet and media has been buzzing about the Critical Race Theory and even more focus has been places on the arguments happening in school board meetings and townhalls all over the nation. Some say it should be taught, others say it shouldn't. I'm not exactly sure what it is and when I've asked those who support and promote it's teaching to give me a clear solid definition of it they can't. Instead they give me examples of subjects that may be taught IN Critical Race Theory, or they may give me one of CRT's objectives. But no definite clear definition OF it. Not even Merriam Webster's online dictionary offers a definition of it! …
