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…

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…

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…

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…

London (PRWEB UK) 8 October 2013 American Biblical scholar Joseph Atwill will be appearing before the British public for the first time in London on the 19th of October to present a controversial new discovery: ancient confessions recently uncovered now prove, according to Atwill, that the New Testament was written by first-century Roman aristocrats and that they fabricated the entire story of Jesus Christ.

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. At any rate, maybe one day I'll be able to get her to write for AALBC.com ;-)

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…

It's pitiful to see how Obama is constantly manipulated by the Republicans into doing THEIR dirty work for them. Just like Obama Care...... A right wing health care beauracracy designed to make the Insurance companies even richer. The Republicans TRICKED Obama and the Democrats (who originally wanted Universal Healthcare) into not only supporting such a bill but actually spearheading and leading it. It's the same with escalating the war in Afganistan, expanding the war into Pakistan, the war in Libya, and now what looks like the future war in Syria. They love to go to war, but they know the American public is tired of war and is against it so they had to fi…

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…

When it comes to TV, summertime is re-run season. For me it's a time to stray from the channels I usually watch because I've seen all of their episodes more than once. I still haven't gotten into sit-coms or drama series. I just look for quick fixes, and that can involve reality shows. But I only watch one type of reality show; the talent competition ones; or the untalented competitions, as the case may be. What I have observed while watching these shows is a simple lesson. A lesson that is not new but one that TV enhances and dramatizes because it exposes the power of reactions. I have become a regular viewer of a show called The Shark Tank, a progr…

I notice that over the past 20 years the grammar of many Black youth seem to be deteriorating. Walk past a group of Black youth today and you're liable to hear terms and phrases that used to be outdated, like "red bone" and "what you name iz" I even notice that the baggy pants many of the boys wear is forcing them to shuffle when they walk like Step'n Fetchit. Young people in their teens and 20s talking and acting like slaves who just stepped off the plantation! Where are they learning this? I think it's a combination of the entertainment industry attempting to establish what we used to be considered country and ignorant in the past, as "Black culture" to…

Well, with a new television season on the horizon, fans of the small acreen are being bombarded with the trailers touting all the new and returning shows. The announcement that jolted me the most was the revelation that Valerie Harper will be a contestant on Dancing with the Stars! It wasn't too long ago that Mary Tyler Moore's TV sidekick, a/k/a Rhoda, was appearing before cameras, putting on a brave face announcing that she had been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. Although in her early 70s, Valerie/Rhoda was still feisty and upbeat, vowing to fight to the end. I feel so inadequate. Here this half-dead septagenarian is getting ready to go through her paces,…

I don't need to go to church to be reminded to "like" God and accept him as my "friend". All I have to do is to scroll down FaceBook and God, whose screen name is "Jesus" , is shoved down my throat with praises of his glory and promises of his reliability and threats of his wrath. Religion still elicts yawns and shrugs from me. Occasionally, however, it provides me with a good laugh and, ironically, FaceBook is once again the source of this comic relief.

Twitter is still blowing up and everybody continues to be all up in arms over Miley Cyrus' dancing exhibition at the Video Music awards Sunday. Even more riled are the parents of young fans of wholesome Hannah Montana, the alter ego who Miley formerly portrayed on the Disney channel TV show of the same name. Me, I can't stop laughing. I knew we were in trouble as soon as Miley erupted on stage sporting a close-shaved hair-do that featured 2 horn-like knots sprouting from the sides of her head, lashing her tongue like a seductive serpent. To be honest, her grinding gyrations were devilishly lewd, made even more so when she stripped down to her scanty underwear, …

"The Digital Divide, or the disparity between internet adoption rates between various groups, has been a topic of conversation since the internet became a commercial entity two decades ago. There is a great deal of warranted concern about the long term impact on those unable to gain access to the internet. In recent years, due to smart phones, the disparity in internet adoption rates, has narrowed. However, there are problems looming which make the Digital Divide look like a minor inconvenience."

I've been publishing film reviews almost as long as I have been publishing book reviews -- more than 15 years. About seven years ago, in an efforts to bolster traffic, I began regularly publishing film reviewsy. Some months, for a number of reasons, I may actually pub more film reviews than book reviews. Since someone has to write the screenplay and often screenwriters are also novelist, film and books are related so I don't see film reviews as a radical departure from the focus of AALBC.com. Generally, I try to publish reviews of certainly the most prominent Black indie films (domestic and foreign). I'm actually quite happy to be working with Kam Williams w…

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 …

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…

The George Zimmerman trial and especially the peripheral affairs that surrounded it has really forced me to re-evaluate my political and social ideaology. I'm not talking about the behavior of George Zimmerman himself. That's an easy one....he murdered that boy. But more specifically I'm talking about: -The defense of Rachel Jeantel's disgraceful testimony by so many responsible Black people. -During the trial when it came to listening to public responses, I saw so many Black people who seemed not to be able to talk properly or express themselves adequately despite the fact that they were born and raised in this nation and it was embarassing. -The fact that li…
